2/ 'Two Majors' contrasts the very slow, hugely bureaucratic and still heavily paper-based Russian approach to military procurement to Ukraine's nimble Brave1 military marketplace, which allows units to procure what they need online:

1/ Four years into the war in Ukraine, the Russian Ministry of Defence is still leaving its soldiers critically short of all kinds of essential military supplies, according to the 'Two Majors' Telegram channel. Donated and self-purchased supplies are only a drop in the ocean. ⬇️

1/3 Major fire reported at the Izmailovo Kremlin complex in eastern Moscow. The cultural-tourist site reportedly saw flames spread across more than 3,000 m². Local reports say part of the escape-room structure collapsed. t.me/mash/74235 kyivindependent.com/damaged-repo...

1/2 🔥 LPDS “Nurlino” in Bashkortostan is reportedly on fire. The facility is part of Transneft’s main oil pipeline system moving crude from the Urals and Western Siberia toward Novorossiysk, Tuapse, Taman, and southern Russian refineries.

The repeating patterns of the two tugs and the exclusivity and symmetry of the circle spoofer is hard to overlook and think nothing of though. Hardly coincidental. Just look at them!

I consider this more of an unfinished observation rather than a conclusion. I can not show the aim active on May 7, when drones hit Latvian oil silos. Might be because I lack data, did not find it or that I am plain wrong. My data starts just 14 days ago. Ongoing.

Closer example of the different nature of the spoofers, aiming to drive home the points in OP. Obviously there is some more to the conclusions, like MMSI count, timelines etc not presented. Alas, those will have to wait for another post.

Closer example of what I call aim. The tracks of BOGATYR and VITYAZ isolated and in context with lots of other mostly spoofed tracks.

Last months have seen some drones stray into eg Finland, Estonia and latest Latvia. While it is an obvious expected function of a military spoofer to send a drone astray, to my knowledge it has not been shown to happen. I am not showing that, yet. But there are circumstances.

One of the Russian GPS spoofers around St Petersburg sports what looks like an aim function. There is a realistic possibility this has been used to drive Ukrainian attack drones into NATO territory. So far, I only have two anecdotes to show for it, data collection ongoing. 🧵

ZELENSKYY: Twenty countries are already working with Ukraine at various levels to conclude Drone Deals with us. We will soon also sign political agreements with some other countries. We have also begun preparations for such an agreement, the Drone Deal, with Canada.

The disgraced King of Malaysia in Moscow for the Victory Parade, received an Aurus Senat worth 50 million rubles for his support for Russian genocide in Ukraine. Cheap and disgraceful fuck.

From shitty sheikhs to cringy chinese. It is reported that russian prostitutes are massively moving from russian crime central - Dubai to squalors in China. 1/3

Russians were shown how shit "quality" new buildings are constructed. In Tyumen, the wind blew off part of the façade of a new house. Welcome to Mordor

Foreign affairs ministers also discussed: ➡️EU-Western Balkans relations ➡️Russia's war against Ukraine with @andrii_sybiha ➡️the situation in the Middle East ➡️EU-Canada relations and cooperation on international issues with @AnitaAnandMP Main results: link.europa.eu/3B6DWg

EU foreign affairs ministers have agreed on new sanctions against extremist Israeli settlers, in view of the growing violence and the expansion of the settlements in the West Bank. Ministers have also agreed to impose further sanctions against Hamas. More information: link.europa.eu/3B6DWg

After randomly dropping crates of weapons into Iraq and expecting Iraqi Kurds to magically be the ground force for a war with Iran, Trump now claims the Kurds, whom he has repeatedly betrayed, “just take, take, take” and are disappointing for refusing to act as his mercenaries.

Everyone in Germany and EU leadership scoffed at Gas-Gerd. Kaja Kallas has just thrown her glove down for the job, btw.

Omsk, Russia. Instead of improving the lives of Russian people, Putin spends billions on ruining the lives of Ukrainians and destroying Ukrainian cities.

What a sad world view. I have read the entire three Lord of the Rings books to my sons and they loved it all (strangely, even including Tom Bombadil and 50+ pages of the Council of Elrond). Take your kids on an adventure!

Russian drone just struck a roof of an apartment building in Kharkiv‼️ The "ceasefire" Russia wanted so much is still ongoing.

This is a reminder that the russians' information warfare strategy against the West aims to: "create an atmosphere that will make US and Israeli operations against Iran impossible."

Great job by German “Sparta 2.0” team! A clear plan for Europe to build crucial material defence capabilities at the cost of € 500 bln. If NATO pledges will be implemented, MSs will spend on defence € 7 trln until 2035. More than enough to implement this plan! 1/2 🧵

“Judge Christians by divorce rates and atheists start looking oddly biblical. Jesus condemned divorce. Statistics show many secular couples divorce less often than highly religious groups in parts of the U.S. Faith slogans are easy. Living the teachings is harder.”

But we are not yet at the point where Russians would genuinely negotiate because they are still presenting their maximum claims. And that's why we need to continue applying pressure.

KALLAS: Putin is in a weaker position than he has ever been before. Russians are losing on the battlefield. Support for Putin's war is going down. There is growing discontent in Russian society. Ukrainian deep strikes have made a real impact. So actually, Putin is not standing that strong.

Even with a short break in the intense attacks on Russia, their factories are still on fire. A fire broke out at the large metallurgical plant "Severstal" in the city of Cherepovets. Something is burning in the territory of the coke-chemical production. Columns of smoke are visible from all
