In the Donetsk region, a Ukrainian soldier was directly struck by a Russian FPV drone during operations near the front line. The small device, guided at high speed toward its target, detonated upon impact, turning the battlefield into a scene of brutal destruction within seconds.

In the Donetsk region, a Ukrainian soldier was directly struck by a Russian FPV drone during operations near the front line. The small device, guided at high speed toward its target, detonated upon impact, turning the battlefield into a scene of brutal destruction within seconds. The soldier survived the attack but suffered catastrophic injuries, including the loss of both legs. Footage from the incident exposes the harsh reality of modern warfare in eastern Ukraine: cheap, improvised, and mass-produced drones are now capable of inflicting devastation once associated only with far more sophisticated weapons systems. In Donetsk, surviving an attack no longer means escaping unharmed. More often, it simply means remaining alive after seconds of extreme violence, as technology transforms every trench, road, or improvised shelter into a permanent potential target. less

The lives of our loved ones and relatives!!! Those thanks to whom there is a chance to breathe. A chance to live in the morning and at night!!!

Yesterday I didn't have time to post a post!!! Because we worked and pulled out of the crucible of war our soldiers: our conscience, our shield of invincibility. And I know what death looks like in all its manifestations... We must return each of them because we are not afraid to take responsibility for their bodies and souls, inventing millions of reasons. For families, every fragment, every particle, is a whole universe and the pain they feel is incomprehensible, not having put on this disaster. And you are between two worlds, together with those who did not return from the battlefield and are connected with them by souls.And we go after every lost soul.

But sometimes the security circumstances are much more dire for the mission. Because recently, war has changed the configuration of human destruction... Drones, remote mining, not to mention artillery and rifle capabilities.

But bringing everyone back from this hell is not our job or ourBut bringing everyone back from this hell is not a job or a business for us, but a mission!!!!

And how can anyone think that we are not afraid?

I will say that it is scary!!! But fear has many facets. Therefore, the return of the dead for us is respect and honor, both the living and the dead!!!

Because every family is waiting for their return. And what kind of people we are, our actions will say, not empty words!!!

Therefore, we are grateful to those who do the impossible with us side by side!!! "K-2" @ko4evnik_ Oleksandr Afanasyev; "66th separate mechanized brigade named after Prince Mstislav the Brave" Vladislav Chernyhovsky. For these people, as for us, not words, but deeds - are an action for an act!!!

We are also grateful to everyone involved in repatriation activities!!! "SBU", "GSh", "KSh", "National Police", "SME", "Office

Commissioner", "Ministry of Emergency Situations".

LET'S KEEP THE STREET AND THE SKY TOGETHER!!! less

GoPro footage from the rear-seat gunner of a Ukrainian Yak-52 modified for drone hunting duties shooting down a Russian Geran-2

GoPro footage from the rear-seat gunner of a Ukrainian Yak-52 modified for drone hunting duties shooting down a Russian Geran-2 somewhere over the Odessa region in early-mid April 2026 Before the warhead is seen exploding, we can actually observe what appears to be a fuel trail emanating from the UAV. This means that before detonating, it had been hit by previously fired rounds The size of these explosions highlights the inherent danger of CUAS missions, as if you are too close to target when it blows it could cause damage to your airframe, or even make you crash. This is a well documented phenomenon in modern air combat

The images in the latest videos correspond to the jurisdiction of Tumaco, Nariño (we are withholding the specific location due to confidentiality). During a counter-narcotics operation, our National Police Jungle Commandos destroyed a cocaine hydrochloride processing laboratory and a storage center.

The images in the latest videos correspond to the jurisdiction of Tumaco, Nariño (we are withholding the specific location due to confidentiality). During a counter-narcotics operation, our National Police Jungle Commandos destroyed a cocaine hydrochloride processing laboratory and a storage center.While the mission was underway, the unit was attacked by an illegal armed group that attempted to impede the operation.

Because the area is under the heavy influence of these groups, the attackers, who greatly outnumbered the Jungle Commandos, used inhabited houses and the presence of civilians to hinder the Public Force's response.The images correspond to the moment of the tactical extraction of the second team, boarding a Police Aviation UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter under intense hostile fire.

The sequence demonstrates the discipline, coordination, and constant cover between the operators and the aircraft's gunner to ensure that each member boarded safely, even in an unfavorable combat situation under heavy enemy fire.

Beyond combat, these scenes represent one of the principles that distinguish Colombia's special operations units: no one is left behind; alive or dead, always

A few days ago, we published this impressive video of Colombian National Police Jungle Commandos carrying out an extraction aboard a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter while under enemy fire. Now we have obtained the FULL version in HIGHER QUALITY. In addition to appreciating the entire maneuver in greater detail, a mechanical failure can also be observed in one of the M249 machine guns carried by the troops.

Europe new temperature record

In June 2026, there was a huge heat wave in Europe. The map presents a geographical overview of all-time maximum air temperatures recorded across European nations.

The data highlights that during the intense heatwave in June 2026, four countries established new national temperature records: the Czech Republic reached 41.9°C, Germany hit 41.7°C, Poland recorded 40.5°C, and Denmark reached 37.0°C.

The highest peaks are found in the south, with Turkey reaching 50.5°C, Italy 48.8°C, and Greece 48.0°C. In contrast, the northernmost and western regions maintain lower all-time maximums, such as Iceland at 30.5°C and Ireland at 33.3°C. The data confirms that the 40°C threshold has been surpassed in a large majority of European countries, including significant peaks such as 46.0°C in France, 45.4°C in Russia, and 40.3°C in the United Kingdom.

Note: The temperature records for Turkey and Russia shown on the map apply only to the European part of the countries.
