Iranian telegram channels claim that the largest Iranian ICBM Khorramshahr-4 will be used against Israeli targets for the first time.

The missile has a payload of 250kg-1200kg depending on its configuration.

Video of a test launch of the missile is available on my telegram channel: https://t.me/newsvideofa/2981

Hezbollah seems to have begun using drones carrying air-to-ground missiles for the first time against a large gathering of Israeli soldiers

#Israel media reporting that A difficult security incident in #Binyamina on the border with #Lebanon, a march exploded and caused 15 soldiers to be injured, including 5 in very critical condition.

Israeli media platform: #Israelis reported that a #drone fired a #missile and then swooped down on the target and exploded.

At least 15 israeli soldiers killed and injured.

#Hezbollah sources say that hat they knew how many soldiers were inside the targeted room and the number of injuries are mych more than what IDF has officially reported.

In another attack,
Israeli Army Radio, citing a source:
- Hezbollah succeeded in deceiving the air defense system and launched a barrage of missiles to cover the march.
- 3 dead and 39 soldiers were injured, including 9 in critical condition, as a result of a drone explosion in Wadi Ara, south of #Haifa

Unconfirmed reports from Iran said that they used Hormoz-1 anti radar ballistic missiles (they are not supposed to have such range to reach southern Israel based on information I have) to take out multiple radar systems before the main attacks took place. if that was correct, it's a HUGE loss for both the US and Israel.

Russian satellite images verified massive losses at Israeli Air Force Base, including multiple F-35s, AC-130 transport planes, at least one refueling Boeing plane and multiple hangars and damage on one of the runaways.

Caveat: from Kathleen Tyson on X
At this point it is unverified (Israel denies it, so more likely true), but it’s just possible Netanyahu was injured by either a #missile strike on arrival at Ben Gurion #Airport or his home. Much confusion. #Media #blackout. Disappearing posts.
One to watch.

Ukraine bans #Telegram on #military, govt devices over #security risks

Ukrainian officials representing the country's Security Service and the General Staff of the Armed Forces also warned that #Russia "actively" uses Telegram for cyberattacks, #phishing, #malware distribution, and coordinating #missile strikes.

This is not a revolutionary realization. It would be interesting to know whether the Russian secret service has also infiltrated servers in order to expose users and monitor them specifically.

A “sort of classic unclassified example that exists is like a picture of a plane from the top, and you’re looking for a plane, and then if you put tires on top of the wings, all of a sudden, a lot of #computer vision models have difficulty identifying that that’s a plane,” Moore said as part of a larger discussion about #AI models and data sets.

Ukraine strikes Russian airfields with homemade weapons in hopes of preventing devastating attacks at home

Ukraine's Air Force spotted 11 Tu-95MS strategic bombers in Russian airspace at around 5 a.m. on Aug. 26. In less than three hours, Ukraine was under the largest aerial attack since the start of the full-scale war, with 127 missiles and 109 drones flying into Ukraine.

To attack #Ukrainian cities far from the front, the Kremlin uses strategic #bombers and fighter jets stationed deep inside Russia, along with ground launchers closer to the border.

With a U.S. ban on #missile strikes deep inside Russia still in place, to minimize Russia's capacity to launch mass attacks, Ukraine is forced to employ domestically produced #drones to target #airfields and launch sites.

Satellite images show major expansions at two key Iranian ballistic missile facilities: Modarres Military Base and Khojir Missile Production Complex.

🔹 Over 30 new buildings were observed at both sites. The expansions began in August 2022 at Khojir and in October 2022 at Modarres.

🔹 Three senior Iranian officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the expansions are aimed at increasing conventional ballistic missile production.

🔹 One official added that some of the new buildings would double #drone #production capacity.

🔹 #Iran's #missile arsenal, already the largest in the #MiddleEast with an estimated 3,000+ missiles, has long been a source of regional tension.

The #Yemeni Armed Forces reveal for the first time the identity of the missile that targeted the #Israeli ship (MSC SARAH V) in the Arabian Sea.

The #missile that targeted the ship (MSC SARAH V) is a locally made #hypersonic missile that possesses advanced technology, is accurate in hitting, and reaches long ranges.

Not sure about hypersonic thing. Because only 3 countries have such technologies right now.

Insights into the strategic disclosure of this missile:

💥 The "Palestine" ballistic missile is actually the Iranian "Kheybar Shekan 2". For the first time, this missile was fired in real combat by Yemen.

The original "Kheybar Shekan 1" #missile has a range of 1450 km and was used during Iran's "True Promise" operation against Israel.

Following Israel's killing of an #IRGCQF officer in Syria two days ago, Iran has cleared the "Kheybar Shekan 2" for use in Yemen.

Compared to the KS-1:
➡️ The KS-2 is a skip glider, a technology that increases the range by about 200 km, reaching the distance required to hit targets in Israel.

Iran has launched a large volley of ballistic missiles at various sites in Iraq against American forces, likely in retaliation to the #Kerman bombings.

Pro-Pakistani state accounts are now confirming the Iranian missile strikes on the remote border village between Pakistan and Iran border causing civilian casualties. The narrative also includes 'the right to response at the time, place and manner of its choosing'.
