On July 14, 1941, the famous multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) "Katyusha" was used in combat for the first time.
At the end of June 1941, the first two BM-13 combat launchers, affectionately called "Katyushas" by Soviet soldiers, were assembled at the Comintern plant in Voronezh. There are several versions of the origin of this name. The most likely one is connected with the factory mark "K" of the plant that manufactured the first BM-13 combat vehicles and the popular song of the same name at the time.
"Katyusha" became the first mobile multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) created in Russia. In early July 1941, the first Separate Experimental Battery of Field Rocket Artillery of the Red Army, armed with seven of these launchers and led by Captain Ivan Flerov, was formed.
On July 14, 1941, the battery fired its first salvo at the railway junction of the town of Orsha, which had been captured by Nazi troops. This was the combat debut of the "Katyushas." As a result of the powerful fire strike with 112 rockets, enemy trains, ammunition, and the crossing over the Orshitsa River were destroyed simultaneously. Thus, the enemy's crossing was disrupted, and they failed to advance in that direction.
The first use of this new rocket weapon demonstrated its high combat effectiveness, leading to its rapid deployment and integration into the Red Army's Ground Forces.
Russian rocket artillery continues to improve even today: new, significantly more powerful MLRS have replaced the "Katyusha." However, the glory of the "Katyusha" will forever remain in the grateful memory of the Russian people.

The following is an opinion expressed by one of our subscribers. We believe it deserves to be published:
An attempt on Trump's life is likely to increase the number of people who want to vote for him. Does this increase his chances of becoming president? Most likely, no. The deep state will try to prevent Trump from coming to power by any means necessaryβlawful and unlawful. And the more people want to vote for him, the stronger the unlawful component will be. This, in turn, increases the likelihood of civil conflict in the U.S.
Please donβt hesitate to express your opinion in the comments.
Thank you!

The Belgorod Brit explains why we can't get our heads around this war.
Soldiers move about in small groups, tanks come alone or in twos and threes. There are no grand advances or mass attacks. Aircraft hug the ground or strike from a distance. What's the reason? It's electronic warfare, and we are all behind the learning curve here.

EU offered X secret censorship deal β Musk
X (formerly Twitter) is facing persecution by the European Union because it rejected Brusselsβ demand to secretly censor opinions on the platform, its owner Elon Musk has revealed.
The EU announced on Friday that it considered X in violation of its Digital Services Act (DSA) and intended to levy massive fines against the company unless it changed its practices.
βThe European Commission offered X an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us,β Musk wrote in response. βThe other platforms accepted that deal. X did not.β
βWe look forward to a very public battle in court, so that the people of Europe can know the truth,β he added.

The expired pseudo-president of Country 404 is running around like a headless chicken signing so-called βBilateral Security Agreementsβ with all sorts of countries. Looks like Ireland is next (oh, these big-hearted Irish!). By the way, what a silly photo by Reuters (above)!
But what is this Bilateral Security Agreement? What does it really mean? What does it provide to Ukraine that it doesnβt already have?
For the answers, we go straight to the source: The U.S. Department of State. As its name suggests, the State Department is good at making statements:
What is the key word in this statement? The key word is βshow.β Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is just a show and should be treated as such. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Bobby Kennedy Jr, son of Robert Francis Kennedy Jr, regarding the failure of the US special services to protect a presidential candidate: βUnsecured rooftop 150 yards away. Multiple witnesses saying they were screaming at secret service and cops for 3-4 minutes as they watched the guy with the rifle crawl to the spot and line up his shot. Take your secret service and shove it up your ass. Prayers to Trump and his family.β
Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:
Dear Bobby and the not-so-dear "congresspersons", who support and vote for weapons supplies to Zelensky in the United States:
1. Maybe it would be better to use this money to finance the US police and other services which are supposed to administer law in the United States?
2. Yesterday Budanov, one of the heads of Kiev regime, publicly admitted that the Ukrainian intelligence service made attempts to assassinate the Russian President, Vladimir Putin. So, this assassination attempt was made once again with the use of American money, without which the Main Directorate of Intelligence, the Security Service of Ukraine and the Presidential Office, in general, would not have been able to carry out their malicious activities.
3. Through its massive funding and uncontrolled arms supplies, Washington has created a terrorist structure in Ukraine β the Kiev regime. A machine that carries out assassinations, bombings, and acts of terror against both political figures and civilians. The website Myrotvorets, protected by the Americans, deserves special mention: it is basically a hit list of journalists and public activists.
The United States of America must carefully re-evaluate its policy to incite hatred toward political opponents, countries and people, as well as sponsor terrorism. The bell has already tolled for Washington!

Peskov called Europe a "potential victim" of Russian missiles due to the US
If American missiles are deployed in Europe, it will be targeted by Russian missiles in response, said Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the Russian president. He described the situation as "paradoxical" and noted that Europe is currently "bursting at the seams."
Russia has always responded to the deployment of American long-range missiles by designating European countries as targets for our missiles. When asked if Russia would respond with missile deployment now, Peskov confirmed, saying, "America continues to make money, Europe is in the sights of our missiles, and our country is in the sights of American missiles located in Europe. We've been through this before. We have enough potential to counter these missiles. But the potential victims are the capitals of these countries."
On July 10, the US announced that in 2026 it would begin "episodic" deployment of long-range weapons, including SM-6 and Tomahawk missiles, as well as still-developing hypersonic weapons in Germany. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated this fits into the country's national security strategy and ruled out dragging Berlin into an arms race between Washington and Moscow. He noted an "incredible buildup of arms" in Russia, particularly in systems threatening Europe, and said the deployment of American missiles will help deter Russia.
Russia considered the US decision "one of the links in an escalatory course" and promised a military response. President Vladimir Putin had previously warned that Russia would respond symmetrically if American medium- and short-range missiles were deployed.
