🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦— Ukraine brief.
As Ukraine possibly prepares for an offensive on Kinburn peninsula, they sent a large boat on the river to detect Russian artillery but Russians decided not to bomb it.
A lot of insistance on the Kharkiv border, with rumors that Russia could do an offensive there, as military summary even says that Ukraine could do a Valuyki offensive to cut Russian supply lines.
Davydov says that Ukraine FPV drones got better because they now know how to lock a target.
Military summary says that Malynivka may soon be a Russian target.
Both sides agree that Tonenke will soon fall to the Russians.
Both sides says that Russia attempted to enter Robotyne, with Davydov saying it failed and Military Summary being unsure.
Following multiple tank losses, Ukraine's 47th motorized infantry batallion's commander got replaced.
Following multiple ship loss, Russia's commander in chief for the navy, was replaced by Alexander Moiseev. This once again, along with the Red Sea, highlight the importance of sea drones for the future of warfare.
As a conclusion, its important Ukraine focuses on in depth defense, as focusing only on the frontline may cost Ukraine too much.

⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.
