Is Israel be planning a second war on Iran?. Analysts warn Israel seeks pretexts for new conflicts with Iran amid speculation over covert operations.

China claims to have found a "weak spot" in the U.S. GBU-57 bunker-buster bomb used in strikes on Iran, revealing that its heavily armored nose contrasts with much thinner, vulnerable side armor. Chinese military researchers suggest that anti-aircraft guns like the Swiss Oerlikon GDF—used by Iran—could potentially intercept the bomb mid-flight if fired from less than 1.2 km away and at angles below 68°, giving a 42% chance of destruction.

July 25 (Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday Ukrainian forces were facing fierce fighting around the city of Pokrovsk in the east, a logistics hub near which Russia has been announcing they capture of villages on an almost daily basis. Zelenskiy, speaking in his nightly video address, said Ukraine's top commander, Oleksandr Syrskyi, told a meeting of senior officials situation around Pokrovsk was current focal point of its attention in the war, which began when Russia invaded in February 2022

In a dramatic shift on the global chessboard, Israel and Ukraine have agreed to initiate a joint dialogue aimed at neutralizing the growing threat posed by Iran. Both nations—haunted by Iran’s military exports and nuclear ambitions—announced the new cooperation in Kyiv during Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar’s visit. Ukraine Zelenskiy accuses Iran of fuelling Russia’s war machine with kamikaze drones, while Israel views Iran’s nuclear program as an existential threat. Ukraine Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga from Ukraine declared Iran a “global security menace,” he thanked Israel for its surprise strike on Iranian military targets last month. The move marks a pivotal tightening of Israel–Ukraine ties, despite past tensions over Israel’s neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine war. Both countries have now drawn a clear red line around Tehran’s expanding influence—& plan to counter it. The anti-Iran dialogue could reshape the Middle East–Eastern Europe dynamic in the months ahead.

Roughly a year ago, Ukrainian defenders began actively using FPV drones to intercept russian reconnaissance UAVs. Over time, these systems evolved into a distinct class: anti-aircraft drones.This solution offered a cheap and effective way to counter UAVs like the Orlan-10 or various Zala models, which could loiter over the frontlines, detect targets, and adjust artillery fire. What’s more, launching an FPV drone does not give away the operator’s position, meaning launch points can be placed very close to the front.

After a year...It’s become an almost daily routine for Ukraine’s elite drone units working along eastern front: Watch Catching on camera groups of ill-prepared Russian troops & vehicles venturing forward & destroy.


Once they’re sighted, it’s usually a matter of minutes or seconds until Ukrainian drones blow them up, say technicians operating joysticks. “They are hunting us; we are hunting them,” said Ukrainian drone unit soldier “Maks,” speaking to RFE/RL’s Ukrainian Service. “Drone operators are a priority target as they are the most effective combat units that inflict the most losses.” Estimates by Ukrainian commanders suggest that up to 70% of Russia’s current deaths and casualties are due to drone attacks. The drone operators in Ukraine’s 30th Prince Kostyantyn Ostrozkiy Mechanized Brigade, working in the Donetsk region, say they place a high priority on targeting their Russian counterparts.
They also play a key role in supporting the Ukrainian infantry and in fending off assaults by Russian troops.

Facing a far larger army than their own in this war, Ukrainians developed drone attack tactics early on that have proven highly effective, from working out how to drop a grenade with pinpoint precision to evading enemy digital jamming signals,
and the advent of first person-view technology is 100% help, to allows operators to see what the drone sees live show as it attacks, has signaled a remarkable leap forward in the impact of relatively cheap, only few thousand$ only. A expendable drones as an essential element of warfare, while Russian engineers have actively worked to keep up the pace in a drone arms race, with both sides constantly improving, it appears that invading ground troops are still highly vulnerable.

“Most of the time, they come without any EW [electronic warfare] defenses,” said Ukrainian drone unit soldier “Ryba.”
“There was an assault group coming in recently,” he said. “One soldier was carrying a backpack with EW equipment & other had a portable generator. But they didn’t have time to start it up and they'll stay in that spot forever.” It’s also become evident from witnessing Ukrainian air attacks that Russians do not expend much effort to recover their soldiers once they’re hit, said “Maks.”
“When they retreat, they leave behind soldiers who are even slightly injured,” he explained. “Their fear of drones outweighs the fear of snipers.”

Almost daily Russian incursions around the ruined city of Pokrovsk have been keeping Ukrainian drone operators particularly busy recently, and although Ukrainian frontline troops of all kinds have said they must deal with increasing exhaustion and stress, drone unit soldier Mykhaylo Trach says drones have proved themselves vital to keeping the Russians at bay. “The enemy is constantly trying to probe weak spots in our defenses and seize more territory,” he said. “But they're failing because of our efforts.”

Ukrainian and Belarusian hackers have claimed responsibility for destroying all the IT infrastructure of Russia's state airline Aeroflot.  All information on their servers were first stolen and then destroyed.  Restoring normal operations will take tens of millions of dollars and months as almost all flights have been grounded or cancelled.
