πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ During the Russian missile strike on energy facilities in Kyiv, debris fell on a residential building. Ukrainian media traditionally blamed Russia for attacking civilian infrastructure, but pictures from the site of the incident contain some very curious details.
One photo shows the word "LIFT" written in Latin letters. As our German colleagues from Ubersicht_Ukraine_Kanal note, the marking is fully identical to that on the engine of an AIM-120 missile. Which, in turn, are part of the NASAMS 2 systems supplied to Ukraine. ImageImage
So the residents of Kyiv can once again thank the Ukrainian air defense system (and now the American military-industrial complex) for the destruction of residential buildings in the city.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ A couple of days ago, photos of the loading of another shipment of British military aid to Ukraine appeared online, in which the small Brimstone 2 guided missiles were seen. Image
This is the second version of the Brimstone small-size supersonic missile, which had previously been supplied to the AFU. Unlike the original, the upgraded version has a greater range and power thanks to a new rocket engine and a reinforced warhead.
In addition to a dual channel seeker with active and passive channels, Brimstone 2 is equipped with laser guidance, which multiplies its accuracy, including against fast-moving objects.
