Frank Kendall recently said the following to the New York Times on the record. No additional level of detail is attributed to him. -------- “Time didn’t permit all the normal Air Force One modifications, so some mix of security, communications and support is missing,” said Frank Kendall, the former Air Force secretary who was in charge of the department as it tried to push Boeing to accelerate its long-delayed contract to deliver two new Air Force One planes. “With the Iran situation, this could be of concern,” Mr. Kendall said. “Frankly, I’m surprised to see this plane used outside the U.S.”

Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR MO) informs: "On August 7, 2026, on the eve of the Day of the city of Yalta, which is under temporary Russian occupation, operators of the special unit of the HUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine 'Group 13' held a parade of Magura combat marine platforms. In this way, the HUR special forces restored an old festive tradition that arose and took root in free Yalta - the welcome exit of Ukrainian warships and vessels near the city embankment."

The Ukrainian Armed Forces include approximately 16,000 volunteers from at least 72 countries worldwide. 40% of them are citizens of Latin American countries, according to Military Ombudswoman Olha Reshetilova. Since her office began its work in January, it has received more than 300 complaints from foreign volunteers, their family members, and authorized representatives.

В столичному мікрорайоні Теремки по вулиці Теремківській влада продовжує варварську вирубку лісопарку. В КМДА Кличка не придумали нічого краще як прокласти теплотрасу через лісопарк зі сторічними дубами. Під вирубку потрапить понад 600 дерев. Роботи вже розпочали без жодних дозвільних документів, а їх і не могло б бути, бо це з 2019 року офіційно паркова зона! За законом тут заборонені будь-які будівельні роботи.

"Western fighters now form the core of the Ukrainian Air Force in the shape of the 107th Wing, equipped with F-16, and a smaller force of Mirage 2000-5s. The F-16s are by some margin the most flexible and effective fighters available, across all mission types." rusi.org/explore-our-re…

The battle to break the siege on E. #Aleppo districts involved a wide array of Rebel groups gathered under 2 coalitions: Jaish Fateh, operating outside the city, and Fatah Halab, fighting from the besieged districts. It was the largest Rebel offensive of the war until the campaign that ultimately toppled Assad. Rebel planners calculated that the siege could be broken from the SW. side of the city through a bold move: capturing one of Aleppo's largest military sites: the Artillery Base - a location where Regime least expected an assault. Jaish Fateh led the first phase, which focused on taking the base's defensive belt on its Southern & Western flanks, mostly comprising fortified hills (tells), the Hakima School - struck by a twin SVBIED (see 0:20) - and the 1070 Apartment Project. After ~36 hours, all these sites were seized from pro-Assad forces. The second phase, lasting nearly 5 days, focused on storming the Artillery Base itself while Fatah Halab attacked, from the city, the nearby Ramoussah industrial district. Map: x.com/QalaatAlMudiq/…

THREAD. A decade ago, Rebels broke the siege on E. #Aleppo in an iconic 7-day offensive. It marked a historic victory against Assad-Iranian axis - achieved under nearly impossible conditions while facing Russian firepower. The breakthrough was initially met with total denial
