Do we have any idea, even as a percentage of how many of these videos are real vs. AI?  Some a number of pages earlier seem somewhat suspect.

I'm pretty sure this one is AI, but it was based on a real video shown upthread.

If you suspect anything of being AI, then call it out.  Almost everything seen here has several angles and sources.  For example, the Omsk refinery fire has multiple videos from multiple sources detailing the same attack with video support.

No, keep up the good work.  I think we all trust your due diligence towards filtering out the fake.

AI videos:

1) often people missing or extra limbs (older worse ones)
2) People act too weird/unnatural or the video is just too perfect, or it's just not believable

That being said, they're harder to tell these days.

Just think, AI has only been in the public sphere since ChatGPT launched in November 2022. AI as we know it isn't even four years old!

Imagine what it's going to be able to do by the end of this decade!

🔥 In total, at least 4 hits were recorded on the ELOU-AVT-11 unit in Omsk. It will be stopped for repairs, possibly long-term, - Dnipro Oaint

This will disable 40-50% of the plant's primary processing capacity.

The following still remain intact at the plant:

• AVT-6
• ELOU-AVT-7
• ELOU-AVT-8
• AVT-10
• AVT-9

The last two - the ten and the nine, together provide approximately 40% of the plant's primary processing, the remaining units are too weak.

The Russians don't have enough AA guns or equipment to cover their entire nationwide energy infrastructure.  So the Ukrainians are now using Russia's massive geographical size against it, which is brilliant!

Russia literally does not have the resources to defend against this everywhere.  So their defenses are concentrated around Moscow and Volgograd, plus any property that Putin happens to own.

Try to hit Putin's dacha with a drone?  Not a chance.  But hitting a refinery in Omsk?  Got to set priorities, right?

I do believe that I saw statistics that Russia does shoot down something like 50% of Ukraine's long range drones btw, the problem is that it sometimes only takes 1 to level a refinery.

Patriot interceptor missile shortage left Kyiv exposed to overnight Russian air attacks, military says

Nazar Hlamazda - 06 July 2026 | 19:00


UKRAINE, KYIV, Jul. 6 — The Ukrainian military was unable to down any Russian ballistic missiles during the overnight attack on Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, because of a shortage of interceptor missiles for Patriot air defense systems, Yurii Ihnat, spokesperson for Ukraine’s Air Force, said in the ether during the national telethon.

Today, Russia launched 68 missiles and 351 drones of different types at Kyiv, killing 11 people, injuring 46 others. Russia launched its drones and missiles from the Bryansk, Kursk, Oryol and Vologda regions, the city of Novorossiysk, and Russian-occupied territory in Donetsk oblast, reported Militarnyi, Ukrainian defense media outlet.

Ukrainian air defenses downed Russian 31 Kh-101 cruise missiles and all six Kalibr cruise missiles. As of this morning, Kyiv authorities reported on Russian airstrikes across 34 locations in the city, with 29 ballistic and anti-ship missiles — which Russia also uses to attack Ukrainian cities — and 18 kamikaze drones hitting targets.

According to Ihnat, Russia’s military command is deliberately exploiting Ukraine’s shortage of interceptor missiles and is relying primarily on ballistic weapons. Intercepting such targets is significantly more difficult than shooting down cruise missiles or drones.

Mykhailo Fedorov, the Minister of Defense, also commented on the critical shortage of air interceptor missiles. He said that Ukraine has already signed and continues to sign new contracts to purchase missiles for Patriot systems.

However, Fedorov said the implementation of those contracts and direct deliveries will begin only next year.  .  .  .

Russian Soldiers Die in Photo-Driven Flag Missions for Command Reports

Roman Kohanets  |  Jul 06, 2026  |  17:05

Russian commanders are sending soldiers on high-risk flag-planting missions to produce battlefield photo reports from areas not fully under Moscow’s control, according to Radio Svoboda on July 6.

The report described the practice as “flag planting,” in which small Russian assault groups infiltrate contested settlements, raise a Russian flag, and record footage for propaganda or command reporting.

Radio Svoboda linked the tactic to Moscow’s recent claims about Kostyantynivka in the Donetsk region, where fighting continues despite Russian declarations of control.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported on July 5 that Russian forces have infiltrated significant parts of Kostyantynivka but have not secured control or established lasting positions across much of the city.

ISW assessed that Russia is conducting a targeted information campaign around the claimed seizure, while Ukrainian officials rejected Moscow’s claims.

A relative of Russian serviceman Yevgeny Kiselev told Radio Svoboda that his group was sent into Petrovka to wave a flag and record proof for commanders.

“But in fact, it was not under our control then. My brother was attacked by drones immediately. Most of the group was destroyed,” he stated.  .  .  .

Cobasna: Russia’s ‘MacGuffin’ Between Ukraine and NATO

https://balkaninsight.com/2023/03/20/cobasna-russias-macguffin-between-ukraine-and-nato/fellowship/


This next bit is an AI summary for Cobasna:

The Cobasna ammunition depot, formally the 1411th Artillery Ammunition Depot, is a massive Soviet-era military storage facility located in the village of Cobasna in the Rîbnița District of Transnistria, a breakaway region of Moldova internationally recognized as part of its territory.  It is widely considered the largest ammunition depot in Eastern Europe, holding an estimated 20,000 to 22,000 tons of Soviet-era ordnance, including artillery shells, rockets, and small arms ammunition.

Strategic and Security Context

Guardianship: The depot is secured by approximately 1,500 troops from the Operational Group of Russian Forces (OGRF) and Transnistrian forces, with access strictly prohibited to international observers or Moldovan authorities.

Geopolitical Leverage: Russia has been accused of using the depot as a tool of geopolitical blackmail against Moldova, despite promising at the 1999 OSCE Istanbul Summit to withdraw its forces and munitions.
 
Safety Hazards: Over half of the stockpile is obsolete and unstable, posing a severe technogenic and ecological threat.  An accidental explosion could be equivalent to a 10-kiloton nuclear bomb, potentially contaminating large areas of Moldova and Ukraine.

Proximity to Conflict: Located just 2 kilometers from the Ukrainian border and 200 kilometers from Romania (a NATO member), the depot is a focal point of regional tension, with concerns that it could be used to smuggle weapons to support Russian operations in Ukraine.

It's not like those drones are flying fast.  I still can't get why they aren't being shot out of the sky.

A lot of them are getting shot out of the sky - usually with interceptors that are significantly more expensive than the drone - but it only takes one accurate strike to cause significant damage to a target like a refinery or storage tank field.  Also, even if the drone gets shot down, if it was shot down with a missile that cost 100 times what the drone cost to make, it's still a victory because it causes Russia to expend substantial amounts of hard-to-replace materiel to strike a $10k drone.

Russia accused of dumping anthrax-infected cattle carcasses in Ukraine: ‘ Biological terrorism’

https://nypost.com/2026/07/06/world-news/russia-accused-of-dumping-anthrax-infected-cattle-carcasses-in-ukraine/

Quote
Russia is allegedly littering Ukraine with anthrax-infected livestock, dumping cattle carcasses less than a mile away from residential areas in what Ukrainian officials have described as “biological terrorism.”

Occupying Russian authorities are placing the tainted carcasses in burial sites in Ukraine’s Kherson region, with as many as 50 locations reported — including 10 that are considered “particularly dangerous“ to the local population, the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) reported.

“The deliberate or negligent creation of conditions for an anthrax outbreak is yet another crime committed by the aggressor state of Russia and constitutes an act of biological terrorism against civilians living in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine,” the agency said in a statement.

The infected livestock are being buried rather than properly incinerated at the sites in the southeastern region, including areas near the cities of Askania-Nova, Skadovsk, and Zaliznyi Port, Ukrainian officials said.

Some are less than a kilometer (0.6 miles) from residential areas.


EXCERPT

Nasty but par for the course with the Rooskis.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA

🛢️In the Novosibirsk region, after today's strikes on the Omsk refinery, a "high-alert mode" was introduced and a limit was set: 30 liters of gasoline or 60 liters of diesel

▪️In the Lipetsk region, gas stations of the Lukoil and Teboil networks stopped working.

▪️In Sevastopol, there will be no new batch of QR codes for fuel today.

▪️In the Nizhny Novgorod region, they are pouring 40 liters of gasoline into one hand and are starting to implement a scheme similar to the Crimean one with QR codes. The option of refueling owners of even and odd license plates on different days is also being considered.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

The largest gas station network in Omsk, Topline, has completely stopped selling gasoline to private customers.

According to Russian media, the network halted fuel sales after supplies from the Omsk Oil Refinery stopped following yesterday’s Ukrainian drone attack.

I believe Russia has only two of these planes left that are operational.  The remainder serve as Parts Stores.  Anyway, this A-50 and the Su-57 accompanying it were able to shoot down a grand total of one FP-1 drone.

📉 Russia’s flagship crude price has slid to levels seen before the conflict in the Middle East, piling more pressure on Kremlin coffers, - Bloomberg

The Urals grade averaged $41.66 a barrel at Russia’s western ports in the first three days of July, less than half the level during the height of the oil market turmoil in April.

If prices remain below the budget threshold for a prolonged period of time, that would further complicate the Kremlin’s ability to keep a widening deficit in check.

Borisoglebsk air base is burning after a drone strike in Voronezh region of Russia.

While Russia attacks Ukrainian civilians, Ukraine continues diminishing Russia's military potential.
