Okay this could either be a 9M728 Iskander K, or a 3M14 Kaliber.

Definitely a cruise missile.
I don’t think I’ve actually ever seen either in a functional condition this close before
Okay it’s definitely a 3M14 Kaliber
(This one is probably headed straight to WSMR)

Just a bizarre series of events, Putin offers direct leader-to-leader peace talks last weekend, and the end result is a small Russian negotiating team showing up to deliver the most maximalist, revanchist, and unhinged demands.
Threats of further Russian invasion, prolonged multiyear war, and a negotiation that fell apart after two hours.
The US, Turkey, and Ukraine did at least get some real work done today, holding high-level trilateral talks that Ukraine says focused on “develop[ing] real mechanisms that will lead to a just and lasting peace.”

Ukrainian attack drones struck Russia's Kubinka air base overnight, with NASA's FIRMS orbital fire monitoring system detecting multiple fires along the flightline.

The base houses multiple Russian Air Force aerobatic demonstration teams prepping for Moscow's Victory Day parade. Image

A great representation of how absolutely horrendous US Navy procurement is.

In roughly the same time it took the US to fight over and fail to build the Constellation class, Italy managed to build 9 multirole warships with similar capabilities for *half* of the price. Image
For €557 million per unit, you get a modular platform with

-5000 nmi cruise range (convoy escort from Hawaii to Japan or the Philippines)
-5 in main gun
-76mm CIWS
-16x heavy SAM with MRBM intercept capabilities
-Dual band AESA radar
-Towed array sonar

In a major procurement move, at least one NATO country is reportedly attempting to acquire Ukraine's highly successful Delta battlefield management system.

The Delta system is both accessible and feature-rich, enabling increased awareness and coordination across the joint force. Image

Last year, Delta reportedly passed a NATO security audit and underwent compatibility testing for interoperability within a NATO environment.
Delta turned the more traditional command and control structure upside down, with an initial focus on the base, individual soldier.

Delta aims to be user-friendly, with its underlying featureset enabling compatibility with laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. Image

Amazing find by @KSOSINT, it appears that a Ukrainian An-124 transported at least 3 F-16 airframes from the boneyard at Davis-Monthan AFB to Rzeszow, Poland, gateway for western aid to Ukraine.

The US has not confirmed any direct donations of F-16s to Ukraine. Image
The individual airframes are unknown, and missing too many identifying features to ascertain whether they are mothballed As or newer Cs.

They do appear to be complete, though disassembled. Image
