My first post for ARES, written by @RogueAdventurer and I, about the recently documented (very modern!) 9M54-series cargo missile used in #Ukraine️. It's only used by the Russian army, so likely the first documented employment of the munition. https://t.co/EMZPkVyyKR

Super proud of this one - we spent months redesigning the Open Source Munitions Portal to better help the OSINT community. Have a play and let us know what you think!

It's the final match of the 1988/89 season. We have a chance of winning the title. But we must beat Liverpool. By two goals. At Anfield. No team has done it since February 1986. We’re 1-0 up in stoppage time. Thomas is charging through the midfield. It's up for grabs now...

Not only should Arsenal keep Mo Elneny he should be immediately made captain of the team forever. I love that man

From what I’ve seen/read, the Ukrainian peace deal looks very good. Hope Russia (and the US) accept it.

This is pathetic, on the one hand because of how few Syrians we accepted, and on the other because how few Ukrainians this is proportionally.
BRUSSELS/WASHINGTON, March 24 (Reuters) - The United States plans to accept up to 100,000 Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion, two sources familiar with the forthcoming announcement told Reuters.

Probably 9M22S incendiary rocket launched from the BM-21 Grad. Video similar to this was posted to Facebook a week or so ago. But more proof it’s being used.
