A Russian Tornado-S rocket launched from the vicinity of Mykhailivka impacted a target near Zaporizhzhia International Airport just now. The rocket was equipped with a cluster warhead.

Scenes from Tabna, southern Lebanon, where smoke can be seen rising following an Israeli airstrike. At least 3 airstrikes have been carried out so far.

The IDF stated that they are carrying out strikes on "Hezbollah terror infrastructure sites".

— When you look at footage of Operation True Promise-2 as opposed to Iran's operations during the 12-Day War, it's clear why preemptive strikes are so important.

During True Promise-2, Iran had the initiative, we attacked from multiple missile bases that were fully operational and when Israel did not expect it. As a result, at least 50 missiles hit their targets in one wave. Unfortunately Iran didn't target Tel Aviv metropolitan area during that operation, it would've been very effective.

Anyway, during the 12-Day War, Iranian missile bases were heavily suppressed, which led to a lesser volume of missiles being launched simultaneously and therefore less hits in each wave due to easier interceptions.

In my opinion it's a waste of missiles to wait for the enemy to attack first. Iran's missiles provide their primary advantage when used in an offensive context, when Iran is the attacker—not the attacked.

The reformists in power in Iran are delusional, and blinded by the "possibility" of a peaceful resolution. Never negotiate with the U.S. unless YOU KNOW the U.S. is going to get something significantly positive out of it, that wouldn't be feasible for them to obtain through war. By negotiating, the U.S. is stalling and working to build "justification" for the upcoming attacks, just like with the whole drug smuggling thing with Venezuela. They can pretend that they negotiated in good faith, and that "Iran was just too stubborn to come to an agreement, so they forced our hand".

The U.S. and Israel WILL strike Iran, and everyone knows this. Iran is essentially just waiting to be attacked, because they are scared that them attacking first will create justification for massive American attacks. What they seem to fail to realise is that the U.S. is very good at brainwashing its citizens into thinking that attacking/invading a country that they knew nothing about 6 months ago is for the greater good. The "justification" can always be created one way or another, and if worst comes to worst, they can just false flag them.

Ukrainian forces have recaptured the village of Verbove, Pokrovs'ke direction, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Pre-war population: ~236.
Total land area: ~0.85 km².

The second battle for Verbove lasted approximately 8 days.

Overnight, Russia intensified their shelling of rear areas of Ukrainian-controlled Donetsk Oblast.

KAB strikes were carried out on targets in/near the cities of Mykolaivka, Slovyansk, Kramatorsk, and Druzhkivka, as well as on the town of Oleksijevo-Druzhkivka. MLRS strikes targeted the city of Dobropillya and the surroundings of Kramatorsk/Slovyansk.

The attached image is from Druzhkivka.

The U.S. strike carrier group led by the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier has passed through the Strait of Gibraltar and is expected to reach the Middle East by February 22.

The Ukrainian General Staff reports that a Russian S-300VM air defence system was struck by a Ukrainian drone near Mariupol, Donetsk Oblast.

Due to a recent sharp increase in the number of Russian FPV drone strikes on this area, Ukraine has begun constructing anti-drone nets along the M-04 Pavlohrad - Pokrovsk Highway in eastern Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

2 Russian S-400 surface-to-surface missile strikes on a Ukrainian HIMARS GMLRS launcher near the village of Serednii Burluk, Kharkiv Oblast. This was presumably one of the HIMARS launchers which has been attacking Belgorod City recently.

Also, I believe this is the first confirmed footage of Russian S-300/400 missiles being used in a surface-to-surface format, confirming what I and others have been saying for years about these missiles being used this way.

I never want to hear anyone ever say "Its Tornado-S every time, trust me bro" again.
