Ukraine frontline: Soldiers strap DIY bombs to commercial drones | BBC Newsnight
The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Russia the Joke of the western world…
By the end of 2024 Russia's Military might will have decreased by as much as 70% compared to were its was in 2004 and Nato military strength has nearly doubled in this time.
Exactly what Putin tried so hard to avoid…
Viva Ukraine.

The democratically elected government of Ukraine was overthrown in a coup in 2014.
The Ukraine regime then reneged on the two Minsk agreements that they signed brokered by Germany and France.
This reminds me of Germany breaking the Munich agreements in 1938.

US F-16 fighter shoots down Turkish drone in Syria after warning ignored
The United States shot down this Thursday (5) an armed Turkish drone that was operating near its troops in Syria. The incident marks the first time that the US has shot down a Turkish aircraft, its NATO partner.
Two U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to Reuters, said an F-16 shot down the Turkish drone after the Americans called Turkish military officials several times to warn them they were operating near U.S. ground forces. Authorities said the Turkish drone was believed to be armed.
At the same time, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and a local security source said the US-led coalition shot down a Turkish drone near a base in northeastern Syria.

'I will separate Putin from Xi Jinping': Republican Vivek Ramaswamy's exotic doctrine
Vivek Ramaswamy, American businessman and candidate for the 2024 presidential elections for the Republican Party, has attracted attention in the media due to his unorthodox positions on foreign policy.
Speaking recently at the Nixon Library (California), Ramaswamy explained how he intends – if elected – to carry out one of the most surprising geopolitical maneuvers of the 21st century.
In short, Ramaswamy intends to separate Russia from China and isolate not Moscow, but Beijing! To carry out this maneuver, the Republican pre-candidate intends to use what he called the "spirit of Nixonian realism" (in reference to President Richard Nixon, who governed the United States from 1969 to 1974).
According to Vivek, America is at a time when the bipartisan conviction around opposing Russia represents a bad idea from a geopolitical point of view, given that the real enemy of the United States is China.

I build FPV drones. If I were to defend myself against them, I would attack their video feed. They are using an analog signal, very easy to figure out what channel they are on. Once you do just broadcast your own signal. You can’t hit what you can’t see. If you are monitoring the air wave, you will know the moment they plug-in.
