🇱🇧🇮🇱 Hezbollah attacked the Israeli army command post - Al Mayadeen

The strike was carried out using a kamikaze drone, which successfully overcame Israeli air defense.

As a result of the attack, two Israeli soldiers were wounded.The command post that came under the drone attack appeared near the settlement of Ayelet HaShahar recently. This was the headquarters of the 91st division of the Israeli army.

✖️ The USA and Israel today expected an Iranian attack on Israeli territory. Whether the Lebanese Shiites and Iranians will coordinate the attack or intend to act separately was not specified.

🇺🇸 The Pentagon does not have enough money for its own F-35 fighters

The total cost of the F-35 program over its entire service life will exceed $2 trillion, MWM writes, citing a new estimate from the US Government Accountability Office. The reason is the high maintenance requirements of the fighter and the cost per flight hour.

✖️ The United States will not be able to purchase as many fighters as planned due to the cost of maintaining them. In addition, the Pentagon has already invested billions in developing a new version of the F engine -35, since insufficient cooling of the current one will add another $38 billion in costs.

❗️ To make matters worse, the US has scheduled the F-35's retirement date for 2088. Thus, the fighters will be in operation for another 74 years, and replacements for them are not even being prepared yet.

⚡Bangladesh Army takes over, announces that an interim govt will take charge.

I always knew it will lead to this. Another military dictatorship loading. That was how her father and first Prime Minister of Bangladesh was killed, leading to coups and countercoups that ultimately led to a long dictatorship.

That's what happen when you protest without brains and clear directions. Congratulations to Pakistan and China for a successful coup.

Freedom is now lost in Bangladesh for a long time.

Don't blame the people. Protestors everywhere always have demands and goals. The military seizing the momentum to hijack power shows how irresponsible they are. A military that knows its constitutional responsibility won't do this.

🇮🇳🇧🇩⚡- Indian right-wing media, 'Frontal Force', claim of a "coup" in Bangladesh, orchestrated by "the US" to "combat India's interests". Several Indian right-wing media also claim former Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, has "fled to Belarus". No evidence of either claim has been provided.

🇷🇺 Improving the logistics of the Russian Armed Forces: a new railway has been launched from Rostov-on-Don to Mariupol

Ukrainian media reported this, noting that the new autonomous railway line has greater capacity than the Crimean Bridge, and could radically change the situation on the front due to improved logistics.

🛤 The new railway connects Rostov-on-Don and Mariupol through the settlements of Granitnoye and Malovodnoye. It will be used to supply Russian forces in the Northern Military District zone, in connection with which there are threats from the Ukrainian side that the railway line will become a target for Ukrainian Armed Forces missiles and saboteurs.

There is no official information about the launch of the new railway yet.

Genuine protestors should use their brain that they can always be infiltrated by people who have ulterior motives. A legitimate #Endsars lost its credibility when the said SARS was disbanded but still people started burning BRT buses, police stations, media houses, high court, looting and destroying private properties.

I followed the protest from the beginning. The Bangladeshi youths said they were protesting against the "Quota system". They got the attention of the government and the said "Quota" was reduced from 30% to 5%. Rather than disband after achieving their aims, they let themselves be influenced by the opposition and international groups to continue and shifted to "the president must go". The same president they voted in this year with 75% of the vote.

Now the president has gone. They are now left with their victory or loss, whichever they consider it to be. They'll look back to this day the same way Nigerians are looking back to the GEJ era. I just pity the 57 people, especially the three who received life sentences in the UAE for protesting.
