Ukraine launched one of its biggest attacks of the war against Russia overnight into Sunday, sending hundreds of drones toward Moscow and other regions as Russian forces also struck Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities with missiles and unmanned aircraft.

The scale of the attacks from both sides shows how far the long-range element of the war has come, with forces once focused heavily on battlefield warfare now increasingly working to defend major infrastructure hundreds of miles from the front lines.

President Donald Trump’s strategy of “low-keying it” with Iran, a term he used to describe his decision to refrain from continued military strikes that would force him to expend a dwindling supply of precision-guided missiles, is a long shot.

At least, for now.

Slap bang in the middle of Iran’s capital city, there is a bizarre sight to be seen.  Close to Tehran’s Enghelab Square, a huge poster displays an image of President Donald Trump being strangled by multiple hands. The words “Revenge is inevitable” are written below it.

According to NBC News, this is really nothing new.

A fortnight ago, the same billboard space was occupied by artwork of Trump in a casket.

Air Force cargo planes began flying supplies into Colombia over the weekend, after a massive earthquake devastated large parts of the country and killed at least 285 people.
U.S. airmen are helping to move resources into the country, as the State Department, which is leading the response, announced a humanitarian assistance program. The first plane, an Air Force C-17 Globemaster, arrived in Bogota overnight on Aug. 14. Another C-17 landed in Medellín on Sunday, with airmen unloading pallets of supplies, according to U.S. Southern Command.

As the U.S. military works to develop tactics to defend against small and cheap one-way attack drones, one of the top commanders for U.S. Northern Command says that domestic bases are “ill-equipped” to deal with drone swarms.
The military is actively building out tactics and procedures to deal with the threat, but the U.S. is “not there yet” when it comes to dealing with attacks on bases, according to Army Lt. Gen. Joseph Jarrard. Jarrard, who serves as the deputy commander of U.S.

The Ukrainain Armed Forces have begun using British-made long-range drones to conduct strikes deep inside Russian territory, marking a significant expansion of the United Kingdom’s military technology being employed in campaign against targets far beyond the front lines. Multiple British media outlets reported British-built systems have already been involved in attacks against Russian oil refineries and other military and industrial infrastructure. Among the systems identified is the Nyan, a jet-powered unmanned aircraft developed by British firm Callen-Lenz, which is part of BAE Systems.

Deputy commander of U.S. Space Command (SPACECOM) Lieutenant General Rick Zellman said the United States needs to fundamentally change how it detects, tracks and defeats advanced missile threats. He argued that due to advances in adversary missile capabilities, American missile warning and missile defence can no longer operate as separate missions. Historically, the two functions were organised around different requirements.

The U.S. Navy supercarrier USS George Washington, which had been operating in the Pacific, is being sent toward the Middle East to replace the USS Abraham Lincoln, whose deployment has been extended far beyond normal limits by the war against Iran. The move will temporarily leave the western Pacific without a U.S. aircraft carrier, despite over 15 years of U.S. efforts to prioritise the region for deployments of advanced military assets.

Eight years after the United States military first warned that commercial fitness app data could expose troop movements and endanger personnel, the problem remains unsolved. A new investigation by Sky News found that more than 1,300 Strava users have shared workout data from sensitive U.S. military installations across the Middle East — revealing patrol routes, daily routines, troop movements, and activity at bases that do not appear on any public map.
Many of those users posted under their real names.
The data is not hidden.

President Donald Trump is asking Americans to accept higher gasoline prices as part of the cost of preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon – a significant change in tone from his administration as he struggles to end a war that is now impacting the U.S. and global economies.

Regular gasoline prices now average around $4.09 per gallon nationwide, up roughly 29% from a year ago, as traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains extremely disrupted. President Trump acknowledged the price increase during a speech on Friday, in which he also argued that Americans should tolerate it.
