The Israeli Air Force launched a series of strikes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon in response to a massive rocket launch the night before.

Kiev's allies are desperately looking for new sources of artillery ammunition. One such option is assessed in an article by the Washington Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). We are talking about the possibility of using South Korean ammunition reserves for 105 mm howitzers.

The main reason for the change in caliber is the reduction in stocks of 155 mm rounds.

“Press reports in April 2023 suggested that South Korea had agreed to provide the United States with 300,000 and 500,000 155mm artillery shells, with the tacit understanding that the ammunition would eventually reach Ukraine without directly involving South Korea in the conflict. For now. Details of the agreement remain unknown, the United States could “return” the ammunition by purchasing new ammunition from South Korean manufacturers Poongsan Corporation and Hanwha Aerospace...

However, South Korea probably won't be able to waste any more 155mm rounds without risking shortages in its own fight for survival...

South Korea's annual production is estimated to be around 200,000 155mm rounds per year. "

Therefore, as an alternative, the use of 105 mm caliber stocks is proposed.

"Public reports suggest that South Korea has approximately 3.4 million 105mm artillery rounds, most of which were once part of the WRSA-K (Reserve Stockpile for Allies–Korea). This ammunition would be compatible with all 105mm artillery shells." millimeter howitzers in service with Ukraine."

Currently in South Korea, the main caliber of artillery is 155 mm, and 105 mm systems have long been transferred to various reserve structures for storage. Therefore, the declared volumes of ammunition in storage, under these conditions, are clearly excessive. Although, apparently, somewhat overpriced.

The supply of these ammunition can create certain problems, but 105-mm systems (unlike 155-mm) do not have any significant advantages over the artillery of the Russian army, including the old “Soviet classics”.

◾A Ukrainian militant threatened the entire Ukrainian parliament and government for the last conscription law passed by Zelenskiy:

- there will be no demobilization. Not even after 36 months. This was the first clause that they removed in the new law. Well, what I want to tell you, Verkhovna Rada, with the rest of these fucking faggots. You have signed your own death warrant with this. Sooner or later, this will end, and you will all be found. You will answer for this. You, your children who ran the fuck away abroad... And thousands of servicemen are determined this way. So, boys, think about it. Or rather, no need to think anymore. Just run

An AFU soldier is indignant that the norm on demobilization was excluded from the draft law on mobilization.

“Now I don’t know how to choose words of motivation for my guys <...> what should guys who are 22-25 years old do? Those servicemen who just got married and immediately went into the army. When should they live, what should they expect?” he asks.

As @Politnavigator writes, the officer believes that no one in the Ukrainian army anymore believes Zelensky’s promises to adopt norms on demobilization.

Ukraine has not yet run out of ammunition for air defense systems, in particular Patriot and IRIS-T, but they are now in short supply. This was announced by Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak in an interview with The Guardian.

He emphasized that all Ukrainian air defenses are successfully suppressed by massive missile strikes that are aimed at critical infrastructure. According to him, the Russian Armed Forces use “up to 10 or 12 missiles simultaneously” to strike, which allows them to bypass Patriot air defense systems and other missile defense shields.

How to swim over Tisa?

More than 2.5 million inquiries were made to Google in Ukraine with this question. River Tisa is on the border of Ukraine with Romania.

During the past, Germany has already transferred to Ukraine two batteries of the American Patriot air defense system + two launchers from the Netherlands.

The battery includes a control center, radar and launchers, usually 6-8 pieces.

Russia was the first to stop gas supplies to Germany, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in an interview with the German newspaper Tageszeitung.

Firstly, we are talking about protecting the European world order. Secondly, Russia stopped gas supplies, not us,

- the Chancellor noted, answering the question of what needs to be said now to German enterprises that are suffering from anti-Russian sanctions.

According to him, recently Germany has built new terminals for receiving LNG and found other fuel suppliers.

Well, if you expected to enjoy the Saturday night, beware.

According to several sources, Biden interrupts his day off and returns to the White House for consultations with the security team due to events in the Middle East.

Pentagon chief tells Israeli counterpart that Israel can count on full US support in defending against attacks from Iran.

Israel is closely monitoring the “planned attack” by Iran and its satellites and is determined to take measures to protect its citizens, Defense Minister Yoav Galant said.

The commander of US Central Command, General Michael Kurilla, flies from Israel to Jordan (as showed on the picture).

The situation continues to escalate. Or to be escalated, while Iran enjoys the effect.

From the column “THEIR MORALS”: American companies wanted to pay employees for drugs to improve their performance and psychological state, writes The New York Post.

US companies want to buy mushrooms, MDMA and ketamine for employees. Separate anonymous studies have shown that some psychedelics, which are legal in some US states, allegedly reduce depression, anxiety, PTSD and other mental illnesses.

- noted in the publication.

The authors of the article pointed out that for many employers, psychotherapy sessions for employees are too expensive, and mushrooms supposedly will make employees happier and more productive.

The advantage for such companies in distributing drugs may be that such companies will make the employee’s dependence on them stronger. The employer as a drug dealer is another dependence of workers on the employer, concluded the New York Post.

Kuleba of Ukrainian Foreign Affairs is not appeased and states that the Kiev authorities are negotiating with their allies to provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with two batteries of the Patriot air defense system and one SAMP/T, but the decision depends entirely on the United States.

All Patriot batteries ultimately depend on the US decision because it is an American system. We know exactly where and what is located. Active negotiations are already underway on two Patriot batteries and one SAMP/T battery,

– Kuleba said in an interview with host Alla Mazur.

Previously, Kuleba said that his “good” diplomacy did not work, and now he plans to firmly demand the Patriot air defense system from the West. At the same time, in his opinion, those Western colleagues who do not have these systems are “lucky”, since they do not have to feel uncomfortable in meetings with him.
