American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY

Around 90 Patriot missiles have been transferred from Israel to Ukraine (via USA), according to Axios.
Now what is interesting, is that they also mentioned that an Israeli Patriot system will end up in Ukraine.

Ukraine has very skilled people. Also, they have more experience than anyone, with a very big variety of Western and Soviet SAM systems.
Of each existing solution, they know its qualities and its limitations.
They should be able to make the right choices and develop a high quality SAM.

Ukraine is developing its own air defense system, says Commander-in-Chief Syrsky.
"We have the capacity to create it and are already working on it. Our system aims to rival the Patriot in performance," he said.

Confirmed, another Russian oil depot has been successfully struck. According to claims in Telegram it is the oil depot in Liski, Voronezh region, Russia.
Clearly, there is a campaign ongoing to mortally wound Russia’s oil, gas and fuel industry, including its exports.

Russian channels are panicking about a supposed ongoing offensive by the AFU in the Kursk operational zone. They also claim that the UAF are prepared to strike from the Sumy region. So far, information is scarce.

Ukraine has downed a russian Mi-8 helicopter from a drone boat (USV).
Ukrainian Magura V5 drones reached another sensational milestone.
For the first time an USV shot down an aerial vehicle. In this footage Russian choppers tried to intercept the UAV, but with R-73 „Sea Dragons“ missiles one chopper was shot down and another one damaged.
