Ukraine might soon be getting up to 8 Patriot missile batteries that Israel has in storage.
I guess Israel has finally given up on its attempt to maintain a working relationship with Russia.
While not finalised, the arrangement would likely involve the highly prized Patriot systems being sent first from Israel to the US, before being delivered to Ukraine.
The outlines of the deal, which would mark a shift in Israel’s relations with Moscow, have been discussed between ministers and senior officials of the three countries, according to five people briefed on the negotiations.
Israel said in April that it would begin retiring its eight Patriot batteries, which date back more than 30 years, and replacing them with more advanced systems.
What time is it? Why, it’s HIMARS o’clock, of course.
Sure was nice of the Russians to park their MLRS vehicles so close together like that.

It’s a small success but that’s how this war goes these days.
Drones just keep getting deadlier.
Not bad for a country that didn’t have much of an Air Force when the war started.
Tver is northwest of Moscow.
Not bad for a country that didn’t have much of a navy when the war started.
A diary of sorts from Russian soldier about how Russians cope with the war stress. It’s a long read.
The first thing I want to start with is the loss of interest in the war and its course and goals. We just live at it.
The basis of this phenomenon is protective inhibition of the psyche. We don't know the exact service life, and the reality is disgusting. What does the brain do to maintain sanity? Breaks contact with the source of irritation.
We are not interested in the progress of battles any more than they bring us news from the front. Everyone focuses on the life of their unit and the life of their closest neighbors.
We turned off the radios with general information background.
We don’t ask, “How’s the frontline?” - we’re just told occasionally.
Most people do not read military telegram channels, especially those about military art and tactics. SMO news is read no more than once a week.
We simply do our job mechanically.
Russia unveils its new anti-drone weapon. It’s called a T-90. See how it destroys this Ukrainian drone by luring it in.
It’d be a damn shame if all those Shaheds burned up. Yep. A real shame.
Ya know, there’s a way for Russia to avoid all this destruction. They can pack up all their shit and go home.
Russia continues to get its ass kicked near Vuhledar, but continues to come back for more ass kicking.
A Russian mine locator locates a mine.
Russia starts lobbing bigger bombs at Kharkiv.
If you are going to try to hide your T-90 tank inside a hangar, you’d better keep the door closed.
That’s about a week and a half’s worth of Russian losses.
If Russia ever gets a government that give’s a rat’s ass about the Russian people, one of the first things they need to work on is fire safety/insurance fraud.
I’d call it a bird cage. or maybe a pagoda.
He seems nice.
More blackmail from Viktor Orban.
Orban needs to be told that he can either get on board the train or get his ass off the tracks.
This kind of attitude, sadly, is not unique to Russia. There were plenty of Americans who wanted to nuke Vietnam and bomb Iran back to the Stone Age.
The video also doesn’t show them kidnapping children, stealing washing machines, torturing civilians, bombing hospitals or dying in suicidal meat assaults.
