Der er opnået kontakt til den 🇩🇰 satellit Bifrost, der natten til tirsdag er blevet sat i kredsløb om Jorden. Bifrost skal overvåge de danske farvande omkring Grønland ved hjælp af sensorer og kunstig intelligens, som kan se radarsignaler fra skibe, der sejler i området share.google/dO2clO3sAjFh...

❗️War between 🇮🇱Israel and 🇮🇷Iran. A thread covering all events. Day 3 Iran and Israel continued to exchange strikes at night. Iranian ballistic missiles attacked the cities of Tel-Aviv, Bat Yam Rehovot and others. There is damage to civilian infrastructure and injured residents.

Ukraine's Air Force reports about a large missile and drone attack. Shot down: 159/183 Shahed and other type UAVs 2/2 Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles 0/1 Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missile 3/4 Iskander-K cruise missiles 3/4 Kalibr cruise missiles

Reports say Iranian intel found another truck used to launch Israel’s drones from within Iran. Israel’s Channel 12 claims Mossad set up a drone base and used special vehicles to deploy kamikaze drones in Iran. This echoes Ukraine’s "Spider Web" operation.

Germany is reportedly going to buy another three Heron TP #drones. www.hartpunkt.de/luftwaffe-be...

Finally. Ukraine’s “Sapsan” missile system (aka Hrim-2) is going into mass production, Valentyn Badrak, director of the Center for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Studies confirmed. Already combat-tested — in May it hit a Russian military target from 300 km away. Warhead: 480 kg.

🇷🇺 A Russian Su-35 fighter jet was shot down by the Ukrainian Air Force and now lies wrecked in a field near Yurasovo, Kursk region—just 18 km from Ukraine’s border.

❗️🇺🇦Ukraine will have its own ballistic missile! The missile has already passed successful tests in May, - the director of the Army Research Center Badrak. ▪️This ballistic missile covered almost 300 km and destroyed the command post of the Russian Federation;

Over the last few months, we've seen the rise of a new tool for misinformation: AI-generated satellite imagery. This one, for instance, claims to show damaged Russian aircraft after Ukrainian drone attacks. But it's AI-generated, as evidenced by physical anomalies and asymmetrical features.

I den næste tid vil Forsvaret være mere synligt på Grønland end normalt. En række af Forsvarets enheder flytter i tæt samarbejde med Naalakkersuisut og de grønlandske myndigheder flere aktiviteter til Grønland. Læs mere: www.forsvaret.dk/da/nyheder/2...

I’ve seen this image circulating widely. There are several clear signs that it’s AI-generated. While many authentic high-resolution images exist, inserting a fake one allows others to discredit all evidence as manipulated. Stay sharp - don’t be gullible, and above all, don’t arm the enemy

Go Sweden 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

Significantly more than 13 aircraft were destroyed and/or damaged by 🇺🇦 in the June 1st attack on 🇷🇺 Have a look at this newly released SBU video. www.facebook.com/share/v/16a5...

🇺🇸 The U.S. is pulling a key anti-drone technology from Ukraine, per WSJ. Last week, the Pentagon quietly told Congress that special detonators used by Ukraine to shoot down Russian drones will now be allocated to U.S. Air Force units in the Middle East.

The Russian aircraft targeted during the Ukrainian attack on June 1 were not destroyed but damaged, they will be restored, – Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov stated in an interview with TASS.

If the Ukrainians could sneak drones so close to major air bases in a police state such as Russia, what is to prevent the Chinese from doing the same with U.S. air bases? Or the Pakistanis with Indian air bases? Or the North Koreans with South Korean air bases? wapo.st/3Zag72z

Ukrainian Defenders destroyed another Russian Tor-M2 surface-to-air missile system with an accurate strike. The estimated cost of the destroyed target is $25 million. Glory! 📹: 15th Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade "Black Forest"

❗️The map that the head of the Security Service of 🇺🇦Ukraine, Malyuk, is looking at shows 5 🇷🇺Russian airfields: 1. Olenya 2. Diaghilev 3. Ivanovo 4. Belaya 5. Ukrainka

Local Russian residents reportedly climbed onto one of the trucks used to launch drones at Russian air bases, attempting with bare hands, stones, and sticks to prevent the drones from taking off.

A russian airman filmed footage from inside Olenya Air Base. I hope all of strategic aircraft burn! All of them destroyed.

Welcome: Ukrainian €500 FPV drones knocking out russian Tu-95 strategic nuclear bombers one by one. I want to hear a word from those who were preaching “escalation management” all the time. Donate for Ukrainian live-saving drones: www.paypal.com/donate?campa...

This screenshot that I made from another video supports the idea of FPV drones. In the video shot by a local resident, the drone is on the way to the air field.

Enemy bombers are burning en masse' — Ukraine's SBU drones hit 'more than 40' Russian aircraft. If this is correct that is a serious blow to 🇷🇺 kyivindependent.com/enemy-bomber...
