Military Chronicle writes,
Why Ukraine cannot launch "Tomahawks" without the USA: observation by "Military Chronicle"
🔺The infrastructure supporting Tomahawk missiles is a complex and multi-layered system that goes far beyond the launcher itself. Since "Tomahawks" are precision, long-range weapons using multiple guidance systems, their support requires a colossal infrastructure at all stages: from planning to the actual flight.
What does launching a "Tomahawk" consist of?
Mission planning and targeting infrastructure. This is a critically important element. The American TTWCS technology - Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System - is used to calculate the missile's optimal route. The program takes into account terrain relief, known enemy air defense systems, and generates a digital route profile along which the missile will fly at low altitude.
In addition, TERCOM (Terrain Contour Matching) data is required for the flight: precise digital terrain maps that the missile uses to compare with its altimeter readings to correct its course. Modern versions of the "Tomahawk" (Block IV and V) also require infrastructure for controlling and managing the missile after launch.
"These systems are used to maintain communication with the missile over long distances, as well as to redirect the missile to a new, higher-priority target or to use the loitering function, where the missile can remain in a holding pattern until a command is given to strike a detected target."
Thus, the "Tomahawk" is strictly an American weapon that requires constant support from the American global intelligence, planning, and communication network to ensure its high accuracy and operational flexibility.
Therefore, even if the USA transfers ground launchers and the Tomahawk missiles themselves to Ukraine (as was stated regarding the transfer of Patriot SAM systems), all critical infrastructure (which in importance and complexity is compared to nuclear weapons) will still remain under US control. And no other country besides the USA will decide how and where to launch these missiles.

Ukrainian media:
Russia may soon "destroy the entire railway" of Ukraine if urgent measures are not taken, warns drone and communications expert Flesh.
Sergey Beskrestnov notes that the Russians have begun tracking and attacking locomotives, without which the railway "will stop." Freight cars are not an important target, and the railway track is quickly repaired.
The published video shows such a strike on a locomotive, which was waited for until it stopped. According to Flesh's assessment, it should have gone into shelter instead of waiting for the strike.
Earlier, it became known from a video that locomotives in frontline regions began to be protected from drones with nets.

The call for the Armed Forces of Ukraine not to use civilian transport is pointless. They have been, are, and will continue to travel in civilian cars. And they shoot at us from residential areas with large-caliber weapons.
And then they howl about the war crimes of the damned orcs.
But for the record: in the black van with the mobile operator's sign were automatic riflemen, and in the silver SUV were guys with green tape on their helmets.

"Get up, get dressed, let's go..." 🤬 A resident of Kostroma who justified the killing of the head of the RCBD troops Igor Kirillov online was sentenced to eight years in a correctional colony. The "keyboard hero" also justified other terrorist attacks by…
⚡️The assassination of the head of the RCB troops Igor Kirillov was carefully and thoroughly planned in Ukraine. The Investigative Committee has completed the investigation of the terrorist act.
In the fall of 2024, the organizers transported explosive components from Poland to Russia, which were disguised as household items.
The IED was delivered to Robert Safaryan. He kept everything at home and handed the bomb to the terrorist executor Akhmadjon Kurbonov.

Bloomberg's weekly Russian oil export update:
Russian seaborne crude oil exports are now reaching SMO highs.
The flow of dollars from these exports are now returning to 2024 levels, although the Ruble is far stronger than it was a year ago, which means that revenue is lower in Ruble terms.
More notably, the shipments of crude with "unknown destinations" to Asia are getting closer to 1.5 million barrels per day. On paper, shipments to India are reaching record lows. On paper, of course. 😉

from Poland to Russia
Hmmm. Yet another in the long, long list of Polish actions against Russia, even if it is one of neglect of duty.
Bloomberg:
German industrial production fell the most since early 2022, evidence of the struggle by Europe’s biggest economy to shake off a multi-year slump.
Output decreased 4.3% in August from the previous month, driven by an 18.5% drop in auto manufacturing, Destatis said Wednesday. That’s far worse than any forecast in a Bloomberg survey of 22 economists.
“This remains the clearest illustration of the structural challenges facing German industry,” he said in a report. “Available monthly data so far suggests that the risk of yet another quarter of contraction and thus an outright technical recession is very real.”

The dislocation of the West: what threatens us
Trump’s perversity is unfolding in the Middle East, NATO’s warmongering in Europe.

Diary of a Paratrooper:
Post of Humanity
A fluffy combat comrade living in one of our guys' units got paw burns during an explosion.
The guys did not abandon their four-legged friend in trouble.
Help was provided according to all the rules.
The little brother patiently endured all the procedures, bravely gritting his teeth.
Not a single "meow" did he utter.
He is fine now, recovering, gaining strength.
Animals are our best friends, our helpers in the fight against mouse sabotage groups and drones, and simply antidepressants.
And if they need help, we will not let them down.

Rare footage of a Russian anti-aircraft drone intercepting a Ukrainian kamikaze UAV based on the light aircraft E-300 "SkyRanger".
The enemy uses these devices to strike deep into Russian territory.
In addition to explosives, the "planes" carry high-explosive aerial bombs and mortar mines for dropping.
