🚨🇷🇺🇺🇦 BIG: Russian hackers infiltrated the Ukrainian military’s "Delta" command system— the platform used to coordinate attacks against Russian forces.
🧵Here’s how they did it👇
Who Hacked Delta?
A Russian hacker team consisting of:
🔸KillNet: Known for DDoS attacks and cyber sabotage.
🔸Beregini: Specializes in intelligence gathering.
🔸PalachPro/Executioner: Developed AI tools for target analysis
What is the Delta System?
Delta refers to the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ command-and-control (C2) system, designed for real-time battlefield management, troop tracking, and coordination of strikes (e.g., UAV launches).
It was hosted on foreign cloud infrastructure to evade Russian cyber operations
How Was Delta Compromised?
Cloud Infiltration: Despite being hosted externally, hackers breached Delta’s cloud storage via compromised credentials or exploiting vulnerabilities in third-party providers.
After hacking into Delta, PalachPro’s neural network analyzed satellite imagery to pinpoint UAV launch sites in Crimea, Sumy, and Chernyakhov by identifying equipment patterns and trench networks.
Delta's live data feeds were likely intercepted, enabling counterstrikes on Ukrainian logistics
📍 Confirmed Launch Points:
🔸Moscow-bound drones originate from Ukraine’s Chernigov region (Bober, PD-2, UJ-22 UAVs).
🔸Voronezh & Central Russia attacks are launched from Sumy.
Russian forces are now targeting these locations.
Using this intelligence, Russia took the following actions:
🔸 Disrupted navigation systems with electronic warfare.
🔸 Predicted launch windows using AI modeling.
🔸 Struck key production nodes with loitering munitions.
Cyber Warfare Evolution
The Delta breach demonstrates:
🔸Cloud-based C2 systems are vulnerable to persistent intrusion campaigns.
🔸Neural networks are becoming force multipliers in target acquisition cycles.
Strategic Outlook
The systematic degradation of Ukraine’s strike capacity is measurable:
🔸Launch site attrition is forcing longer logistical chains.
🔸AI-enhanced ISR is compressing Ukraine’s decision-action timeline. This trajectory suggests diminishing returns on Kiev’s deep strike operations.

🚨🇮🇱Israel's Global Spy Network: Meet the Countries Helping Mossad
Let's dissect the myth of Israeli intelligence supremacy. The recent assassinations operations in Iran and Lebanon weren't solo triumphs but exposes a regime dependent on external backing.
Here's how🧵
🇸🇦🇦🇪Saudi Arabia & UAE:
Provide critical financial channels, political cover, and share vital intelligence on Iranian proxy movements through joint command centers.
🇪🇬🇯🇴Egypt & Jordan:
Offer territorial access for surveillance and coordinate border security, creating a perimeter that directly benefits Israeli intelligence operations.
🚨🇨🇳🇺🇸The Unwinnable Trade War? Why China's economic fortress is stronger than ever
The US just launched its most aggressive trade salvo yet with new tariffs. But this time, China isn't flinching, 2018 playbook is obsolete.
Here’s why the dynamics have shifted against the US🧵
Factor 1: A Radically Different Global Macro Backdrop.
In 2018, China faced a perfect storm: aggressive Fed rate hikes and a domestic deleveraging campaign. This hurt global demand & Chinese exports.
Today? The mirror image. Central banks are easing, and major economies are deploying fiscal stimulus. Resilient Chinese exports now reflect resistant global consumption (especially in the US), not weak external demand. The tide is lifting all boats, China's included.
Factor 2: Structural Gains in Export Competitiveness.
This is the silent game-changer. Over the past 7 years, a prolonged domestic deflationary environment acted as a pressure cooker for Chinese manufacturers.
They've climbed the value chain, becoming more efficient and innovative. The result is a price-performance advantage that is extraordinarily difficult for competitors to replicate, even with subsidies. They are simply leaner and more competitive.
🚨🇷🇺🇺🇦Russia's Energy War 2.0: A Strategic Shift from Shock to Siege
Russia's campaign against Ukrainian energy is no longer about spectacle. It has evolved into a methodical, multi-year strategy to weaponize winter & fracture society.
Here's how👇🧵
Phase 1 (2022-23): The Blunt Instrument.
Objective: Demonstrate capability & test resilience.
🔸Mass, indiscriminate strikes on large generation assets.
🔸Result: Severe but manageable via emergency measures (rolling blackouts, load maneuvering). The system, while wounded, proved adaptable.
Phase 2 (2024): From Disruption to Degradation.
A strategic pivot triggered by Kiev's escalation (e.g., Kursk incursion). The goal shifted:
🔸Old: Temporary disruption.
🔸New: Create a permanent energy deficit.
🔸Outcome: Rolling blackouts became the grim norm, exhausting rapid recovery capacity.
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸Why Trump's Gaza Ceasefire is Doomed to Fail
The spectacle of world leaders gathering for a "peace plan" signing in Sharm El-Sheikh, is a significant political optic.
But the most telling detail was who wasn't in the room: neither Israel nor Hamas attended. 👇🧵
This wasn't a peace signing. It was a "wedding without a bride or groom."
You can't forge an agreement between two warring parties when they refuse to even show up. This highlights a fundamental lack of buy-in from the primary actors in the conflict.
Why was Netanyahu absent?
A key reason: most attendees had recently recognized Palestinian statehood. Bibi, whose government explicitly rejects a Palestinian state, wanted no photos suggesting endorsement. This reveals an unbridgeable chasm between Israel's aims and the international consensus.
🚨🇺🇦🇷🇺Ukraine Plunged Into Darkness: Massive Retaliatory Strikes Cripple Energy Network
Russia launches massive, coordinated attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. This is a response to recent Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian territory.
Here's a breakdown🧵
📍Kiev: Capital in total darkness
🔸30+ explosions reported in the capital by Geran drones.
🔸2 thermal power plants hit.
🔸Left bank district without power & water.
🔸Metro & train services disrupted.
Strikes are reported to be ongoing.
📍Krivoy Rog:
About 30 explosions reported in the city. Widespread power outages are being experienced by residents.
As gold smashes through $4,000/oz, a specific group of nations is leading a historic shift away from traditional reserves like the dollar.
These are the 10 countries ramping up now🧵
🇷🇺 Russia
Russia is the textbook example of a nation rushing to ramp up its gold reserves. It added a massive ~450 tonnes in just the first half of 2025, a 43.8% increase from H1 2024. This aggressive buying spree has brought its total reserves to 2,329.63 tonnes (as of Q2 2025), valued at over $217 billion.
🇺🇸 United States
The US is not actively buying new gold; its strategy is one of holding. It maintains the world's largest reserve at 8,134 tonnes (261.5 million ounces). While it isn't "rushing to ramp up," the surge in the gold price to $4,000/oz has pushed the market value of its existing reserves to a historic $1+ trillion.
