RT @joshrogin: “Japanese investment in U.S. manufacturing jobs is a good thing. And if Japan really is a valued ally, we ought to treat it like one.”

RT @DefenceU: Today, during the meeting of #UDCG, Spain’s Minister of Defense Margarita #Robles announced the immediate dispatch of a complete HAWK battery, which includes 6 missile launchers.
More air defense capabilities for Ukraine means more innocent lives saved.
Thank you, Spain!

@Jeff21461: They are just chassis, not operational vehicles.

@andriyhaydash: It's not the most worthwhile investment when Ukrainian SHORAD & MRAD is still in such bad shape. US aid remains incredibly poorly optimized.

The Lookout (Twitter)

New Barents Sea PRIP/NAVWARN for the 12th out.

Interesting shape if my plotting is correct.

Likely for Northern Fleet anti-ship missile live firing with a coastal missile unit from Tsyp-Navolok and sub- or surface launched from the southeastern part.

@1stFinFreecorps: Looks like they might do a coordinated salvo.

@Danspiun @Cezve_340ml: 10. 488th Motor Rifle Regt POW captured in Kurst Obl.
As above, a conscript signalman in the same 17th Battalion HQ of the 488th.
On 6th August many rockets hit their CP which collapsed. Several conscripts and some others died. Everyone was concussed and most commanders ran leaving the conscripts. The conscripts were sent to the canteen and then there was more rocket shelling.
His commander (for comms), two seargents and some contractors stayed and controlled their actions. Later they got the order to retreat to save lives. They divided into groups, some had weapon, some not including him. Some in his group were killed. Later his group commander, a senior lieutenant ordered them surrender.

@Danspiun @vmanulik: 11. 488th Motor-Rifle Regt POWs captured in Kurst Obl.
A conscript rifleman, who surrendered "near a river, in a forest". By his story likely in the same group as the POW in tweet
On August 6th, their CP was hit and all the documents burnt. Most people survived. The Battalion CO, a Major and other officers ordered the evacuation of the WIA, then quietly fled.
Only a senior lieutenant stayed with them and without any radio connection with other units. Possibly, the major took it when he fled. Two attached Akhmat soldiers fled as well.
