Remains of #Russia 🇷🇺 3M14 Kalibr land-attack cruise missile, reportedly in Kyiv #Ukraine 🇺🇦
The 3M14 designation is specifically associated with the naval (surface and sub-surface) launched Kalibr LACM

Not that I would totally rule out an #Russia 🇷🇺 3M14 launched from a ground-launcher but not reopening the 9M729 INF treaty debate today🤭

Interesting @planet imagery showing multiple impacts on Ozerne air base #Ukraine 🇺🇦

Notable at least two strikes that apparently failed to target the runaway.
I have identified at least two further impacts points at Ozerne air base #Ukraine 🇺🇦 ImageImageImage
@Cen4infoRes Despite questionable accuracy of #Russia 🇷🇺strikes against Ozerne air base, it seem one impact may have resulted in destruction of a #Ukraine 🇺🇦 Air Force Su-27 Flanker

Would appear to be this SAM system that debuted at the October 2020 parade
Note the difference between the launch cannisters of the apparent new SAM (top) and KN-06 / Pon'gae-5 (bottom)

#NorthKorea claims successful test launches of newly developed long-range cruise missile on 11 & 12 September
A reminder #NorthKorea publicly confirmed cruise missile development at the January 2021 8th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK)
In Oct 2020 and again in Jan 2021 #NorthKorea paraded a new launchers which @IISS_org reported as reminiscent of a ground-launched land-attack cruise-missile system with a tubes considered too long and thin for SAM. iiss.org/blogs/military…

I hate to rain on anyone's #NorthKorea 9th Sept military parade expectations but...

(a short thread)

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
#NorthKorea military parades are typically reserved for significant (+5/10 year) anniversaries of significant events in its relatively short history.

So a 9 Sept 2021 parade for 'only' the the 73rd anniversary of the "Foundation of the Republic" doesn't quite fit

However...
A decade ago #NorthKorea made an exception with a military parade for the 63rd "Foundation of the Republic" anniversary

63rd bit.ly/3l6xnR8 2011

This was one of Kim Jong Il last appearance, having missed the 2008 (60th) parade amid speculation over failing health.

Video reportingly shows #Taliban captured Kunduz airport with #Afghanistan Air Force Mi-35 Hind attack helicopter
Location at Kunduz confirmed (36.66575, 68.91244)

14 July @planet satellite image (below) shows Mi-35 with rotor blades attached.

10 August @Maxar image confirms Mi-35 still in place yesterday but rotor blades removed - possibly to further disable it from future use. ImageImage
