I remember this with Republicans in Tennessee. I guess they all wanted to marry 10 year olds
🔥A factory is on fire in the Kursk region after a drone attack
In Korenevo, drones attacked a low-voltage equipment plant. A fire started there; its area initially exceeded 400 m².
Workers were allegedly evacuated before firefighters arrived.
The ruZZian Ministry of Attack announced that "air defense forces destroyed one drone over the territory of the Kursk region".
Again a cunning and successful use of factories to destroy Ukrainian drones. Here's to it! 🍾

RuZZia might resort to use mothballed 130-mm M-46 cannons from the 1950s, according to several OSINT analysts and projects referring to videos and satellite images. It might be be associated with the use of North Korean 130-mm shells, since these ammunition are not produced in russia itself. The Z-army may have about 600 such guns in storage.
RuZZia will try to produce spare parts for the Russian automotive industry in Africa. Russian manufacturers of automotive parts expect to start assembling components in Nigeria from 2025. Nigeria provides a five-year tax holiday for investors in car assembly production. There are already about 15 car assembly plants in Nigeria. They mainly produce Chinese and Indian models of cars and trucks. Sergey Shaikhetov, CEO of the research company Afrikaresearch points out problems with logistics in the African country and the lach of qualified workers, so they will have to be trained in production technologies. UAZ announced its plans to launch Lada production in Ghana.
RuZZia will begin to import apples from NK. Rosselkhoznadzor noted that before that, North Korean apples were included in the list of quarantined products, but now they can freely supply to Russia "accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate", confirming "the absence of quarantine organisms in the goods". Earlier, the Minister of Agriculture Oksana Lut admitted that they had to lower the forecast for the apple harvest in 2024 due to frost and is working with "friendly" countries to supply additional volumes.
Large Russian developers have lost access to project documentation stored in the cloud service of the American developer of computer-aided design systems Autodesk BIM 360, two sources among developers told RBC. Autodesk has recently begun blocking those companies from russia that continued to use illegally its solution, making purchases through third countries or using a VPN. The American vendor suspended operations in the country back in 2022 due to the war, and in March 2024 banned russian companies from using its software products.
Most of the ready-made food offered by popular delivery services in Moscow turned out to be unfit for consumption. Tests of E. coli group (coliforms), S. aureus (staphylococcus), Salmonella, Listeria and parasites in food show violations of hygiene in production, as well as the questionable freshness of products. In 62.5% of the ordered dishes, experts found an unacceptable amount of E. coli and microbes. At the same time inspections have been suspended - obviously hygiene doesn't fit in with traditional ruZZian values...

Hungary and Slovakia have lost Russian oil supplies due to Ukraine's sanctions against Lukoil .
Slovakia has stopped receiving oil from Lukoil, as Kiev blocks its pumping through the Druzhba oil pipeline through its territory, the Slovak transport operator Transpetrol said on Thursday.
Slovakia lost more than half of the oil that went to the Slovnaft refinery in the amount of 500.000 tons per month. At the same time, the plant has no other sources of raw materials except for the Druzhba pipeline built during the USSR. "Lukoil's volumes cannot be pumped, but Ukraine still passes oil from other Russian companies through Druzhba."
The day before, Hungary announced problems with supplies from Russia, which, along with Slovakia and the Czech Republic, received exceptions to the European embargo on Russian oil and continues to import it through the pipeline.
According to Reuters sources, deliveries to Hungary in July were reduced only slightly, and to the Czech Republic they continue in full, since the volume of Lukoil oil in these directions is minimal. Most likely, the company will try to replace its volumes at Druzhba with oil from companies that are not subject to Ukrainian sanctions, but this may take some time.
In total, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic buy 1.1 million tons of Russian oil through Druzhba every month, or about 250.000 barrels per day. Of these volumes, Hungary and Slovakia receive 450.000 tons per month, and the remainder - about 200.000 tons - goes to the Czech Republic.
Hungary's foreign minister Peter Szijjarto complained the tightening of Ukraine's sanctions against Lukoil as an "incomprensible and unacceptable decision", emphasizing that Hungary and Slovakia were exempted from the EU sanction regarding russian oil. He also said that supplies are secured by temporary solutions, but not medium term.
At a meeting with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov earlier in the week, Szijjártó argued the country had begun talks with Moscow to find alternative supplies of russian oil.
