Highly valuable U.S. E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft described as ‘damaged’ by an Iranian missile. That counts as ‘destroyed’ when viewed objectively

Builder's model of the dreadnought battleship HMS Hercules, on display at #IWMLondon. HMS Hercules fought in the 1916 Battle of Jutland. This model was badly damaged by German bombing during the Blitz in 1941, and was restored in time for the First World War centenary in 2014. #wartour

🚨🔥Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces report destroying a Buk-M3 launcher and a Buk-M2 loader vehicle in Russia’s Bryansk region using Bulava loitering munition. Also, most likely, a decoy of the S-400 “Triumf” radar was hit by FP-1/FP-2 guided strike drone in Donetsk region.
