Going to be a lot of misinformation/ disinformation next few hours. Treat everything with suspicion and look for confirmation from reliable sources. People are flapping.
Remember to breathe. Events occur whether we consent to them or not. Misinformation is everywhere. Think before you post.

Foreign aid workers were killed in Gaza this evening by an Israeli airstrike. Uncensored photos of their faces are being shared on both Twitter and Telegram. As this has just happened in the last hour or so it is very unlikely their loved ones are aware. Think before sharing.
Recently, I conducted a drone flight near @GLA_Airport to get some shots of @HMS_GlasgowRN fitting out at the @BAES_Maritime yard at Scotstoun for the @UKDefJournal. In response to some well-meaning concerns, I'll take some time here to explain how this was done.
NEW Britain's motoring lobby group the @SMMT has insisted that an unprecedented 2,000% increase in car exports to Azerbaijan has NOTHING to with Russia and is explained by the fact that this former Soviet state is a “flourishing market in its own right”. This is rather... odd 🧵
The crew will need support! Not only is a 6+ month deployment hard on individuals, families and relationships, this is exacerbated by no contact during the whole time. No emails No phone calls Nothing until you turn up home. Not great for retention.

This is another huge shift from Submarine Service. Massive BZ to the crew. Over to the base staff to work through the defect list and turn around the boat for the next one.

Ukraine asking western intelligence for support after Crimea was invaded and annexed by Russia (a decade ago) is hardly the gotcha some people think it is.

EXC: Sunak is preparing to announce a new warship programme next month, as he faces growing pressure from Tory MPs on defence spending PM set to press ahead with multi-role support ships that underpin amphibious warfare By me, @sylviapfeifer @NicFildes on.ft.com/3w0zdwB
Russia's had the "gloves off" since the war started. They just fucking suck at war, dude.
Despite their wartime posture - despite the frequent raids into Belgorod - despite the Wagner coup that seized a city of 1 million people and marched on Moscow - despite a terror attack that killed 140+ people - Russia's defenses and security are pathetically easy to get past. 7/
Notably, it was the only one of its kind. Russia has 11 last-generation missile radars and then 2 truly ancient relics from the 1960s. While the strike by itself didn't cripple Russia's nuclear defenses, it's a massive blow and a sign of weak security in Russia. 6/
Russia's lost ~60 of their <200 Ka-52s. Ukraine reduced the Black Sea Fleet to a cruel joke, and its flagship is the punchline. Semi-reliable sources on the pro-Russian side confirm that Ukraine took out Russia's most modern nuclear early warning radar. 5/
Russia's air force is a joke. When its air defense systems aren't downing their own aircraft, they've managed to lose several strategic bombers and advanced fighters. Russia only had 150 Su-34s. They've lost 26. They also lost 2of their ~10 A-50s, of which only a few worked. 4/
Russia's airborne forces (considered elite infantry) were virtually completely eradicated by this time last year. What they have left is a handful of survivors backed by waves of barely-trained and sometimes unarmed conscripts. It's too bad Russia kept the gloves on this long. 3/
Russia "holds back" so much that they routinely bomb cities they can't even reach like Lviv and every town they "liberated" was bombed off the map long before they managed to push out the last Ukrainian defenses. And for all that, they've still sustained unacceptable losses. 2/
Remember when Russia held back the 4th Guards Tank Division (widely considered the best division in the Russian army) and it took 80% losses? Remember when Russia held back the spetsnaz and their special forces lost 95% of their manpower? 1/8
@fella6_9 @ArtieD20 @Schizointel @ukraine_map @russianbridges1 Lol they absolutely can. They've been holding back because they consider UA civilians Russians. Gloves are going to come off soon.
