Sea of Azov Massacre Continues: 15 More Ships Hit
Suchomimus
Ukraine's drone campaign in the Sea of Azov has now struck a cumulative total of approximately 104-105 Russian vessels in 8 days, with the latest tally including 7 tankers, 5 dry cargo ships, 1 ferry, and 2 tugboats. The operation, officially named "Operation Malokka" by Ukraine, has effectively halted traffic through the Kerch Strait and reduced activity at Russian ports to a minimum, with most surviving tankers having fled to ports such as Rostov-on-Don. In addition to shipping targets, Ukrainian forces also struck an S-400 launcher, a Tornal air defense system, and two radars, further degrading Russia's ability to protect the area. The number of remaining targets appears to be dwindling as the shadow fleet disperses, though the growing backlog of damaged vessels awaiting repair is expected to continue straining Russian logistics.

Update from Ukraine | Crazy! Russia Lost Azov Sea after 75 Ships were hit | Magyar Rules!
Denys Davydov
Ukraine has conducted a record-breaking drone attack, hitting 28 Russian ships in a single night in the Azov Sea, bringing the total to 75 vessels damaged or destroyed since July 6th. As a result, Russia has officially suspended maritime operations in the Azov Sea, severely disrupting fuel and grain supply routes to Crimea and cutting off an estimated 25% of Russia's grain exports to third countries. In response to mounting losses on the front and economic pressure, Russian state media figures and Kremlin spokesman Peskov have begun shifting rhetoric from calling the conflict a "special military operation" to openly calling it a "war," which the video's host interprets as preparation for a new round of mobilization and possible martial law declaration. The host views Ukraine's overall position in 2025 as strong, though notes a critical shortage of Patriot interceptor missiles as Ukraine's biggest current vulnerability.

Denys Davydov
Ukraine har ødelagt alle russiske færger i Azovhavet, herunder færgerne "Maria" og "Yisk", som blev brugt til at transportere lastbiler og brændstof til russiske styrker på besatte territorier. Rusland har til gengæld angrebet ukrainsk energiinfrastruktur, herunder et olielager, og begynder at integrere maskinvision i sine droner for at ramme stationær infrastruktur som tankstationer i det østlige Ukraine. Den irske journalist Caolan Robertson er fremhævet for sin undersøgende reportage om et russisk-ejet aluminiumsraffinaderi i Irland, der leverer materialer til Rusland, hvilket resulterede i en parlamentsafstemning der kan føre til lukning af raffinaderiet. Senatorens Lindsey Grahams pludselige død omtales kort, idet nogle spekulerer i russisk involvering, men værten advarer mod forhastede konklusioner.

Update from Ukraine | Great! Ukraine Landed in Kimburski Spit | Air Raid to Crimea
Denys Davydov
Ukraine gennemførte en historisk landingsoperation på Kimburski-spidsen, hvor en dronebåd transporterede et ubemandet landkøretøj (UGV) bevæbnet med et maskingevær over Dnjepr-floden – beskrevet som den første dronebaserede landingsoperation i et egentligt kampscenarie i menneskets historie. Operationen, udført af den 123. separate brigade, er foreløbig lille i omfang, men Ukraine planlægger at opskalere konceptet, da det minimerer tab af menneskeliv og udnytter Ukraines fordel inden for droneoperationer. På frontlinjen ved Kar-retningen lider russiske styrker under alvorlige logistiske problemer, idet infanteriet tvinges til at marchere 5-10 km over åbne veje til frontlinjen, hvilket medfører store tab. Ukraine anvender desuden glide-bombeangreb i stor skala mod russiske stillinger, bl.a. i Konstantynivka, hvor angrebene effektivt nedbryder russiske befæstninger.

Did Russia Kill Lindsey Graham? What the Evidence Actually Says
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
The video critically examines claims that Russia may have assassinated U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who died on July 11, 2026, after being rushed to George Washington University Hospital. The host debunks misinformation, including a fabricated Trump quote, and scrutinizes speculation from Russian opposition figure Igor Eidman and activist Laura Loomer about possible Kremlin involvement, noting that while Russia had publicly called for Graham's elimination and had motive, no evidence of foul play exists. The preliminary cause of death was identified as aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with a full toxicology report still pending. The host concludes that while Russian involvement cannot be entirely ruled out, it is highly unlikely, and emphasizes that Graham's death is a significant loss for Ukraine, as he was one of its most influential advocates in Washington.

Ukraine Sinks Rubin-Class Patrol Boat Izumrud with Marine Drone at Gelendzhik Port
Suchomimus
Ukraine sænkede Rubin-klasse patruljebåden Izumrud med en marinedrone i havnen i Gelendzhik, hvilket fremgår af satellitbilleder delt af Ukraine, der viser skibet beskadiget og delvist sunket. Skibet, der tilhører den russiske kystvagt men udfører patruljeopgaver i Sortehavet, var tidligere involveret i Kertj-stræde-hændelsen i 2018, hvor det åbnede ild mod ukrainske skibe. Dette er første gang et Rubin-klasse fartøj er blevet fuldstændig sænket, efter Ukraine tidligere har beskadiget tre andre af typen med angrebsdroner. Rusland havde syv af disse skibe aktive i Sortehavet, hvor de bl.a. skulle beskytte Kerch-broen mod ukrainske droneangreb.

S-400 Launcher Destroyed Near Kerch Bridge With Big Cookoff + Pantsir-S1 and Tor-M2
Suchomimus
Videoen gennemgår flere angreb på russiske luftforsvarssystemer på Krim. Det mest markante er ødelæggelsen af en S-400-affyringsrampe tæt på Kerch-broen, hvor en stor ammunition-cookoff bekræfter, at systemet blev ramt – et betydeligt tab, da S-400 er Ruslands mest moderne luftforsvar. Derudover vises angreb på et Tor-M2-system, to Pantsir-enheder samt flere elementer af en Nebo-radar, herunder et direkte træf på antennen og muligvis kommandoposten. Værten bemærker, at det reelle antal ødelagte russiske luftforsvarssystemer sandsynligvis er langt højere end de officielt dokumenterede tal på eksempelvis Oryx.

Update from Ukraine | Ukraine attacks in Tokmachka, Russia Lost Big Refinery, Lindsey Graham Died
Denys Davydov
Ukrainische Streitkräfte verzeichnen Geländegewinne in Richtung Komar und Mala Tokmachka, wo russische Truppen bereits dreimal versucht haben, das lokale Gefängnis einzunehmen, aber zurückgedrängt wurden. Russland erlitt außerdem erhebliche Verluste: Ein Sukhoi-35-Kampfjet wurde abgeschossen (möglicherweise durch eine ukrainische F-16), eine große Raffinerie in Syssran wurde durch Drohnenangriffe schwer getroffen, und im Asowschen Meer wurden innerhalb einer Woche etwa 92 Schiffe beschädigt oder zerstört, woraufhin Russland die Durchfahrt durch die Straße von Kertsch für Schiffe gesperrt hat. Darüber hinaus berichtet der Kanal vom Tod des US-Senators Lindsey Graham nach kurzer Krankheit im Alter von 71 Jahren, der als Unterstützer der Ukraine und Befürworter von Sanktionen gegen Russland galt. Zudem eskaliert die Lage im Nahen Osten, da der Iran die Straße von Hormus für den kommerziellen Schiffsverkehr zu blockieren droht und die USA weitere Luftangriffe auf iranische Militärziele durchgeführt haben.

Update from Ukraine | Huge! Moscow Burns Again! Everything According to Plan
Denys Davydov
Moskvas olieraffinaderi "Capa" gik atter i brand, tilsyneladende som følge af sabotage indefra, da hverken droner eller russisk luftforsvar blev observeret i nærheden. Samtidig har Ukraine på blot 4-5 dage ødelagt 48 russiske fartøjer i Azovhavet med FPV-droner, mens Rusland tilsyneladende ikke har iværksat effektive modforanstaltninger. Ukrainske droneangreb på russisk logistik har ifølge analytiker Clement Mullen resulteret i tab af ca. 36 forsyningskøretøjer om dagen, plus op mod 80 brændstofbiler på vigtige veje, hvilket bidrager til en alvorlig brændstofkrise i hele Rusland. Davydov konkluderer, at Ruslands sommerkampagne i praksis er slået fejl, og at Putin sandsynligvis vil eskalere konflikten frem for at trække sig tilbage.

Update from Ukraine | Russia can’t do this anymore, Ukraine Kaboomed Everything
Denys Davydov
Natten til denne video var særlig succesfuld for Ukraine, som ramte flere russiske raffinaderier med droner, herunder et i Bashkortostan og et i Kuban-regionen, samt russiske militærbaser, luftforsvarssystemer og skibe. Ukraine har opbygget tusindvis af droner med nye modifikationer (FP1 og FP2), der kan nå mål langt inde i Rusland, og Rusland mangler tydeligvis midlerne til at opsnuppe dem alle. Ifølge et interview med den ukrainske militærchef Magar blokerer Ukraine russisk logistik til Krim uden direkte indsættelse af landstyrker, hvilket sparer ukrainske soldaters liv. Rusland forsøgte desuden at fremstille en ukrainsk rapper som bagmand bag en droneoperation, hvilket beskrives som toppen af absurditet.

Russia Lost 150,000 Men for Just 50 km²
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
Ukraines præsident Zelenskyj har i et interview udtalt, at Rusland har mistet 150.000 mænd for blot 50 kvadratkilometer territorium, hvilket svarer til ét russisk tab for hver 20 meter. Zelenskyj understreger, at russerne har mistet krigsinitiativet siden årets begyndelse, men advarer om, at Putin kan søge at eskalere konflikten i en anden retning – potentielt mod Europa – for at kunne præsentere en "sejr" for sit folk. Ukraines parlament stemte den 14. juli for at acceptere premierminister Cervvenenkos afgang, hvilket automatisk afskedigede hele kabinettet, og en større regeringsomrokering forventes snart. Samtidig afholdt EU for første gang sit forsvarsindustrielle forum i Kyiv, og Ukraine og EU indledte forhandlinger om det sjette forhandlingskapitel vedrørende eksterne forbindelser som endnu et skridt mod EU-medlemskab.

Ukraine is conducting counterattack operations in several directions, including toward Kaminska in the Zaporizhzhia region, where Ukrainian forces from the 69th Air Mobile and 37th Marine Brigades have liberated the village of Nova Shaktanska, with Russian military maps themselves confirming Ukrainian territorial gains. In the Kramatorsk direction, Russia is acknowledging a difficult situation near Zeleni Hai, while Kostiantynivka remains largely a contested gray zone with no major changes over the past three days. Ukrainian drone warfare continues to neutralize Russian infantry counterattacks, including repelling a Russian assault near Nova Pihor village in the Pokrovsk direction. Additionally, Ukraine's drone army reportedly damaged 14 Russian naval vessels in a single night, rendering them operationally incapable even if not fully destroyed.

Ukraine has liberated over 40 square kilometers in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast direction, with the 425th Scalar Brigade confirming presence in villages including Malivka and Zaparyska, pushing into Donetsk Oblast and effectively canceling all previous Russian territorial gains in Dnipropetrovsk. Ukraine is employing infiltration tactics backed by drones, electronic warfare, and unmanned ground vehicles to minimize infantry losses while gradually advancing. On the naval front, Russia has lost 116 vessels in the Azov Sea area over eight days, including a Coast Guard ship destroyed by a Ukrainian drone boat in Novorossiysk, while Ukrainian strikes have reduced Russia's oil refining capacity to its lowest level in over two decades. Meanwhile, the situation in Kostiantynivka remains a gray zone despite Putin's public claims of full Russian occupation.

RUSSIA UNDER SIEGE: UKRAINE'S 40-DAY STRIKE CAMPAIGN SHAKES PUTIN'S WAR MACHINE || 2026
Warthog Defense
Ukraine har ifølge det ukrainske sikkerhedstjeneste SBU gennemført en 40-dages langtrækkende angrebskampagne, godkendt af præsident Zelenskyj, med det formål at forringe Ruslands militære og økonomiske kapaciteter. Målene har inkluderet russisk olieinfrastruktur som raffinaderier, pumpestationer og oliedepoter dybt inde i Rusland, samt skyggeflådefartøjer i Sortehavet og militærfaciliteter på det besatte Krim. Som følge af angrebene rapporterer beboere på Krim om alvorlige strøm- og vandmangel, mens benzinpriser på halvøen er eksploderet til eksorbitante niveauer. Videoen dækker desuden anholdelsen af den tidligere chef for Ukraines 155. brigade, Stanislav Luchanov, sigtet for kidnapning og mord på to civile.

Update from Ukraine | Situation for Russia is Getting Worse Every Day | Putin Destroys Russia
Denys Davydov
Ukraine launched a major overnight drone campaign targeting Russian oil infrastructure, striking refineries and oil storage facilities in Taganrog, Azov, Bataysk, and Saratov, with the Saratov refinery forced to completely halt operations. Additionally, Ukrainian drones damaged at least 12 Russian vessels in the Black Sea, including small tankers used to supply fuel and supplies to occupied Crimea. The presenter notes that Russia is struggling to counter the small drone swarms, as fighter jets cannot effectively lock onto such tiny targets, and that over 50 million Russians are reportedly facing fuel shortages due to the cumulative damage to refinery capacity. Davydov warns that Crimea is becoming increasingly isolated and vulnerable, and predicts the war could continue for at least three more years given Putin's unwillingness to negotiate.

Putin's options after the war has stalled
Anders Puck Nielsen
The video analyzes four options available to Putin as Russia's military progress stalls in Ukraine due to Ukrainian drone warfare, successful mid-range strikes on Russian logistics, and declining Russian recruitment. The four options examined are: accepting defeat (low regime risk short-term but damaging long-term), freezing the conflict (low regime risk, potentially most damaging for Ukraine), mass mobilization (high regime risk, poor economic impact), and escalating against NATO to frighten Western supporters away from Ukraine (high risk/high reward gamble). The analyst concludes that freezing the conflict would be Putin's smartest move, but predicts he will most likely opt for another wave of mobilization — which is assessed as the worst option strategically — because his generals will likely push for it.

Europe Just Built the Shield Putin Feared
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
Europe's ten-nation defensive coalition (Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and Ukraine) has launched a joint anti-ballistic missile shield initiative called Freya, intended to supplement existing systems and provide comprehensive coverage at lower cost. Zelensky stated Ukraine is finalizing its own anti-ballistic missile for the Freya project and called for 100 Patriot interceptors per month (300 total) to protect Ukraine's electrical grid through the coming winter, warning the war will likely continue into that period. France's Macron confirmed Ukraine will receive Rafale fighter jets in 2028–2029 along with licenses to produce Aster 30 missiles, SCALP cruise missiles, and HAMMER guided bombs, with some SCALP deliveries expected within weeks. Additionally, Germany is financing production of 50,000 Ukrainian-made Shrike FPV drones, the coalition of willing nations has grown to 40 members, and the U.S. used naval drones in combat against Iran for the first time—drones developed with Ukrainian technology.

Oil Price SPIKES As White House Panics Over Hormuz!
Combat Veteran News
Oil prices have spiked nearly 20%, rising from $70 to $85 a barrel, as the situation in the Strait of Hormuz deteriorates, with the US reinstating a naval blockade on Iranian-linked ships and the IRGC targeting commercial vessels with cruise missiles. Trump briefly proposed charging a 20% transit fee through the strait — which the host argues would make shipping economically impossible given that war risk insurance alone is already at 8% (53 times normal levels) — before quickly reversing course and instead claiming Gulf states would invest in the US. The host argues this rapid policy flip-flopping reflects a White House that has lost control of the situation, and that the original Iran ceasefire deal was always illusory, as strikes continue and tensions escalate.

Tre amerikanske marinedroner af typen Corsair angreb en iransk ubådsreparationsdok på flådebasen i Bandar Abbas, og som en bonus blev en lille ubåd på kajen også ramt. Det er første kendte brug af de amerikanske Corsair-droner mod et iransk kystmål, og de minder meget om Ukraines marinedroner, som ifølge videoen sandsynligvis har inspireret den amerikanske udvikling. Den ramte ubåd er formentlig en af Irans Gadia-klasse miniubåde på ca. 125 tons, og USA har nu ødelagt 11 af Irans oprindelige 16 sådanne ubåde. Corsair-dronen er lidt større end den ukrainske Mora 5 (7 m mod 5,5 m) og bærer en nyttelast på ca. 450 kg.

Did a group of Ukrainians blow up Nord Stream?
Anders Puck Nielsen
A Ukrainian citizen has been charged in Germany over the 2022 Nord Stream explosions, and a new book claims a group of Ukrainians carried out the sabotage using a rented yacht. However, Anders Puck Nielsen argues the case is far from solved, pointing to several unexplained operational choices: the attackers chose an unnecessarily deep and difficult dive site that maximized publicity and international attention, behaved in a strangely amateurish way (flying a Ukrainian flag, leaving explosive traces on the boat), and the strategic rationale for Ukraine remains unclear given its dependence on German support at the time. Nielsen concludes that while the Ukrainian group's presence in the area is established, critical questions remain unanswered, and Western governments have little incentive to reveal information pointing in any other direction.

Why a Russian frigate fired warning shots at a British yacht
Anders Puck Nielsen
In this video, Anders Puck Nielsen explains how warships use standardized, distance-based escalation procedures to defend against asymmetric threats (such as explosive-laden boats), which is why the Russian frigate fired warning shots at a British yacht in the English Channel at roughly 400-500 meters — consistent with standard protocol. He emphasizes that warships are highly vulnerable and operate under zero-tolerance for taking a hit, requiring rigid, pre-planned responses rather than improvisation. Nielsen also notes that Russia is a country at war, making the Russian crew particularly alert to potential Ukrainian covert operations targeting their ship, and the frigate was reportedly drifting and unable to maneuver due to fuel issues, further heightening their vulnerability. He concludes by advising civilians to simply stay well clear of Russian warships operating in European waters, as sailors aboard may be on high alert for threats that are invisible to an approaching yacht crew.

Ukraine's drone war is isolating Crimea
Anders Puck Nielsen
Ukraine's drone campaign is increasingly isolating Crimea and the southern front by targeting Russian logistics across three tiers: a frontline "drone wall" of FPV drones, mid-range (tactical) strikes on supply routes and command centers 20–150 km behind the front, and deep strategic strikes on Russian war industry. The Kerch Bridge has been effectively closed to heavy traffic and the replacement ferries knocked offline, meaning Crimea itself now depends on a narrow land corridor for supplies rather than serving as a logistics hub. Ukraine has simultaneously targeted ships in the ports of Mariupol and Berdyansk and deployed drones along the M14 highway — dubbed the "highway of death" by Russian commentators — causing severe fuel shortages in Crimea. The analyst notes that while a Ukrainian offensive on Crimea cannot be entirely ruled out, the immediate strategic goal appears to be a "logistics lockdown" that degrades Russia's ability to sustain its southern front forces.

What does the US get out of NATO? — And why Rubio is talking to Trump through the TV
Anders Puck Nielsen
Marco Rubio's recent statements about NATO — framing European bases as strategically valuable for U.S. power projection, while criticizing Spain and others for denying access during the Iran war — appear on the surface to threaten withdrawal, but are actually an argument *for* staying in NATO. Nielsen interprets Rubio as trying to remind the Trump administration that the global alliance system has been foundational to American military reach and economic dominance, countering voices like Trump and Vance who see allies as freeloaders. Crucially, Nielsen argues Rubio is not addressing Europeans at all, but rather communicating with Trump *through television*, since Trump is known to resist direct briefings but watches a lot of news. This mirrors a pattern seen in Putin's inner circle, where advisors unable to confront the leader directly instead embed their messages in public media commentary framed as praise or explanation of existing policy.

Marines' New Cheap Drone Solves a Billion Dollar Problem
Ryan McBeth
The video covers the U.S. Marine Corps' rapid development of the Niro Archer, a $2,000 NDAA-compliant one-way attack FPV drone with a 20 km range, unveiled at Camp Lejeune in April 2026. The drone is armed with a modular warhead system called the Kraken, which uses already-inventoried C4 (DODIC M023) and blasting caps (DODIC M130) combined with interchangeable anti-personnel or anti-armor discs — bypassing the lengthy DODIC approval process since the warhead itself contains no energetics. The entire armed system costs around $5,000 and gives small units like squads or platoons long-range precision strike capability previously only available at brigade level. The drone uses an analog control and camera system for better jamming resistance, though it is primarily optimized for daytime use, with the Marine Corps deliberately accepting an "80% solution today" rather than waiting years for a perfect weapon.

Why Destroying a Hangar Door Does More Damage Than Destroying the Jet Inside
Wes O'Donnell
Ukrainske droner angreb den russiske Saki-luftbase på det besatte Krim to gange inden for én uge i begyndelsen af juli 2025, og beskadigede seks ud af syv hærdede flybeskyttelsesrum, som Rusland netop havde bygget for at beskytte sine jetfly. Satellitbilleder bekræftede, at dørene på fire af beskyttelsesrummene blev blæst af, hvilket ifølge videoens vært er mere strategisk betydningsfuldt end at ødelægge selve flyene, fordi hangarerne udgør hele vedligeholdelses- og støttesystemet, der holder flyene flyveklare. Ukraine følger en strategi om parallelle operationer, hvor mange dele af fjendens system angribes samtidigt – luftbaser, brændstofdepoter, radarstationer og mere – for at skabe systemchok og tvinge Rusland ind i en reaktiv tilstand, som det ikke kan håndtere effektivt.

Combat Veteran News
Ifølge Zelenskyj og europæiske ledere har Kina for første gang klart og utvetydigt afvist russisk atomretorik og meddelt Beijing, at der ikke kan blive tale om nogen atomoptrapping i Ukraine. Videoen gennemgår Ruslands langvarige brug af "atomafpresning" – gentagne, implicitte trusler om atomvåben siden invasionens begyndelse – og påpeger, at Kina normalt har ignoreret denne retorik. Analysens hovedpointe er, at Kina altid handler ud fra egne interesser, og at det faktum, at Beijing nu angiveligt siger fra over for Moskva, udgør et bemærkelsesværdigt og usædvanligt skift. Det er dog uklart, om det er et reelt politisk kursskifte fra kinesisk side, eller blot endnu en gang diplomatisk vrøvl.

The Monaco Assassination Case Gets CRAZIER
Combat Veteran News
A Russian-linked Ukrainian oligarch who made his fortune through Kremlin-granted liquor licenses in occupied Crimea was the target of a parcel bomb attack in Monaco, injuring him and his family. The woman suspected of planting the bomb, 39-year-old Anastasia Barzovska, was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head in Ukraine after fleeing through Italy and Germany — and a Ukrainian military intelligence officer has confessed to murdering her, with a second suspect, a former law enforcement officer, also detained (notably, a basement torture chamber was discovered in the former officer's home). The video's host theorizes this was either a rogue, unauthorized Ukrainian intelligence operation gone wrong, or a Russian false-flag setup designed to eliminate a potentially out-of-favor oligarch while framing Ukraine — possibly facilitated by a Russian mole inside Ukrainian military intelligence.

A Russian anti-drone fire control team was filmed during training when a Yak B-12.7 helicopter-mounted machine gun, repurposed and fitted onto the back of a truck, experienced severe recoil upon firing. The weapon, capable of firing 4,000 rounds per minute, spun violently and sent one of the soldiers ragdolling through the air. The instructor narrowly avoided being hit and managed to duck out of the way in time. The video highlights the apparent dangers of improvising helicopter armaments for ground-based use without accounting for the weapon's recoil forces.
