Ukraine is testing approaches to destroy the Kerch Bridge, built by Putin as a symbol of Russia’s claim to Crimea.

Having damaged it three times already, Kyiv is preparing for the coup de grâce. kyivpost.com/post/55710

It is now the fourth year of Russia’s so-called special military operation. But now, it’s Kyiv that is carrying out special operations against Moscow, week after week.

Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces Magyar: There will be 1,000 "shaheeds" per day, and more

Given this, in his opinion, several steps should be taken, the major wrote on his Facebook page on Friday, July 4, 2025.

espreso.tv/viyna-z-rosiye…

(The Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Major Robert Madyar (Brovdi), warned about the likelihood of the Russian Federation engaging 1,000 or more drones for a simultaneous attack on the territory of Ukraine within one day.)

2/
"Under the pressure of increasing mass use by the enemy of the cheap, but everywhere accessible "Shahed", all options for improving which we will not promptly foresee.

There will be "1,000 units per day or more."

- I am not scaring anyone," the SBS commander noted, emphasizing that he is inclined to such a forecast based on intelligence analysis.

So, first of all, the production of Ukrainian drones should be secured, says Madyar. "Relocation of UAV production. Remember this term," he emphasized.

For his part, Magyar, as the new commander of the SBS, has implemented since July 1 "a single system for the SBS branch of the military for recording and verifying all missions and exercises (including unsuccessful ones) and an alternative electronic ZhBD (combat log) to the existing one." "All units of the group are already online without exception," the major said.

3/
Thanks to this, "online calculation and formation/provision of real needs, non-flying drones, quality and effectiveness of ammunition, initiators, efficiency and effectiveness of each specific crew and management level, and other 100,500 tools for analysis/operational response and influence on the course (of combat operations - ed.)" takes place.

According to him, the electronic system for managing the actions of SBS crews, on the one hand, will help reduce the number of "zoos", that is, disorderly technical equipment in various units, and on the other, eliminate "liars and imitators of turbulent activity."

"I'm not prophesying, I'm promising," Magyar concluded.

⚡️'They're going to lose more lives' — US lawmakers voice opposition to Trump administration halting air defense shipments to Ukraine.

A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers are voicing their opposition to the Trump administration's decision to halt shipments of some air defense missiles and other weapons previously promised to Kyiv.

In a letter addressed to U.S. President Donald Trump about the reported halt of air defense deliveries, Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, the co-chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, requested an emergency briefing from the White House and Pentagon on the shipments.

A few days ago, analysts noted, the Russian Defense Ministry released videos showing Russian officials visiting the #Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School and a new military training ground in #Krasnodar Krai.

The Russian "defense" department noted that the aggressor state is currently creating motorcycle training programs at these facilities.

Thus, it is stated that Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov and the Commander of the Russian Ground Forces, Colonel General Andrei Mordvichev, discussed improving Russia's capabilities to train troops and graduate new officers at the Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School - and Belousov ordered Mordvichev to provide the school with motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles (quad bikes) to teach cadets modern tactics.

Sweden Won't Turn Its Older Gripen Fighters Into Spares, Offering Ukraine a Rare Opportunity
en.defence-ua.com/news/sweden_wo…

2/
The plan to dismantle 60 JAS 39 Gripen C/D fighters to use their components for the new Gripen E/F fighters was dismissed, the aircraft will retain their combat capability, meaning they can be transferred
Swedish Ministry of Defense has ultimately rejected the idea of dismantling older JAS 39 Gripen C/D fighters to produce more advanced Gripen E/F variants, opting instead to allocate funds for new equipment procurement

This decision ensures that the entire fleet of legacy Gripen C/Ds will remain combat-capable and not be cannibalized for spare parts, as Saab confirmed.

The company announced it has been awarded a contract worth 2.9 billion Swedish kronor (~€260 million) to supply components for the production of 60 Gripen E fighters

3/
On a note from Defense Express, in 2024 Sweden had already set aside 14 Gripen C/D aircraft and saved them from parts cannibalization by ordering additional components. This move preserved the option of transferring these fighters to Ukraine. Now, with the Swedish government's latest decision, this potential transfer becomes more viable.

At the same time, the decision is also important for preserving Sweden’s own defense capacity, allowing its Air Force to induct new Gripen E fighters without sacrificing the operational readiness of existing C/D jets
