Iran carried out its strikes on Israel using outdated missile weapons, an IRGC general revealed.
Tehran thereby forced Israel to expend a maximum amount of funds to repel the attack, while Iran spent minimal effort in conducting it, the general asserted.

Report: Russia’s 5-to-1 advantage on battlefield — major concern for West
"Concerns are mounting that Russia may make major gains in the coming weeks by punching through overstretched Ukrainian lines," Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter in the US and Europe.
So far, the paper gives excuses for Ukraine's failures, such as "delays in US and European military aid" and "personnel shortages," but it also points to Russia's advantage in artillery, ammunition and men.

"Russia is breaking through to the front line, using a five-to-one advantage in artillery, ammunition and a surplus of men, backed up by the use of the latest weapons," the article said, quoting General Sir Richard Barrons, former commander of Britain's Joint Forces Command.

Project Nimbus: Google's AI tools to turn Israel into Mideast police state
Google has terminated the employment of 28 individuals who participated in a 10-hour sit-in protest on Tuesday against Project Nimbus, a collaboration between Google and Amazon aimed at providing cloud computing and AI services to the Israeli government and military during the ongoing Gaza war.
Earlier in March, a cloud engineer was let go after expressing concerns about the contract's potential to enable “genocide or surveillance”.
The controversy surrounding Project Nimbus has been ongoing since Google and Amazon were awarded the contract in April 2021, with employees from both companies highlighting the risks of misuse by Israel.
What do we know about the secretive project?
▪️Israel describes Project Nimbus as a multiyear program to move the Jewish state's entire public information to the cloud. The cloud server storage will be located in Israel, and all data stored on them will remain within Israel’s borders. Details of Project Nimbus and the way it will be used by Israel remain top secret.
▪️Materials obtained by the Intercept in July 2022, suggest that Project Nimbus will provide Israel with facial detection capabilities, automated image categorization, object tracking, as well as sentiment analysis to assess the emotional content of pictures, speech, and writing.

▪️Google's Cloud Vision API is an image analysis toolset that boasts the ability to detect emotions based on facial expressions. However, there are concerns that AutoML could be used inappropriately as an AI "lie detector" when analyzing speech. Both technologies have been criticized for being pseudoscientific.
▪️Human rights activists fear that Vision API could be used for round-the-clock spying on Palestinians, depriving them of privacy, while the tool's errors could amplify the problem.
▪️Google's "AI principles," an ethical charter outlining the development and use of artificial intelligence, won't be applied to Israel. This is because the data centers in Tel Aviv are located on Israeli soil and therefore will be governed by Israeli laws.

EXPOSED: Romanian mercenaries claim to 'defend European values' in Ukraine by attacking Russian territories with neo-Nazis (Part 1)
The Romanian battlegroup "Getica" (photo 1), which is part of the Ukrainian International Legion, might have stayed in the shadows with other neo-Nazi and mercenary outfits had it not been for their mouthpiece -- Romanian war correspondent Radu Hossu -- who unveiled some dramatic details. Here's what you need to know about the "Getica" mercenary group.
◾️The Romanian mercenaries first gained social media notoriety in early 2024. By the end of March, the official account of "Getica" announced that they, along with the Russian Volunteer Corps* and other mercenary groups, were involved in an attack on the Belgorod region (photo 2). The attack was subsequently repelled and Russian forces inflicted heavy casualties on the invaders.
◾️ Romanian war correspondent Radu Hossu, immediately rushed to justify the unit’s pernicious deeds. According to him, the Romanian mercenaries “protect both Romania and European values from the Russian threat.” He also revealed that "Getica" consists of both Romanians and Moldovans (see photo 3).
◾️Hossu also seeks donations for the Romanian mercenaries on his social media accounts (photo 4), but not all of his Romanian followers are supportive of this idea. Some have argued that the Romanian government already sends too much money to Ukraine (photo 5).
*The Russian Volunteer Corps is a terrorist organization outlawed in Russia.
