NEW: Ukrainian SBU’s Operation “Web” Took 1.5 Years to Prepare Ukraine’s SBU spent over 18 months planning the massive “Web” operation that struck 41 Russian strategic aircraft today.

[Zelenksy]] also reported that a total of 117 drones, controlled by operators, were used in the operation. He stated that the Russian Federation lost more than 40 units of strategic aviation

Final tally of confirmed hits so far seems to be 5 Tu-95s, 2 Tu-22s, one An-12. According to my info, two of the 95s can most likely be repaired relatively soon, as the damage is not super extensive. At least one is dead for good. The 22s, no idea. Sure hurts but not devastating

The fact is, a tiny FPV drone will have a hard time entirely ‘destroying’ a gigantic strategic bomber—many different FPV hits would likely be needed unless the plane is full of fuel and on-base fire suppression teams do not respond in time—which is of course a possibility.

He makes a good point that it should take more than a single drone strike to actually destroy an airframe unless the airframe catches fire and it is simply left to burn. Since only 117 drones were used, the losses reported by Simplicius seem plausible and not devastating.

Maybe this is why Altman and his pals are hyping AI as omnitient and dangerous…. It’s like a super-Wikipedia. A font of all knowledge. The most perfect tool to control public knowledge.

AI likely to cause rolling blackouts across USA

With soaring summer temps ahead, AI data centers could strain electricity supplies in the Mid-Atlantic

Forecasts for scorching temperatures across the Mid-Atlantic this summer could result in a higher-than-usual demand for electricity — at a time when federal regulators are warning that the margins between supply and demand are shrinking.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s 2025 Summer Assessment of electricity reliability from June through September says while all areas of the country will have enough supply, regional electric grids could be stressed by rising temperatures and a demand that is expected to outpace the previous four summers.

While FERC’s annual assessment anticipates an adequate supply of electricity under normal conditions, Chairman Mark Christie said the loss of available electricity is happening “at a pace that is not sustainable and we are not adding sufficient equivalent generation capacity.”

The Mid-Atlantic grid operator PJM Interconnection, which coordinates the transmission of electricity for 67 million commercial and residential customers in all or parts of 13 states and Washington D.C., recently announced that while it expects to have enough supply to meet demand this summer, for the first time, its supply may fall short in an “extreme planning scenario.” The need for more than 166,000 megawatts of electricity would tip the balance, which is enough to power about 133 million homes.

The biggest increase in demand comes from the enormous amount of energy required to power artificial intelligence and data centers, said Dave Souder, PJM Interconnection’s executive director of systems operations.

“We’re seeing a lot of electrification and or data center loads, with all the AI and computer requirements,” Souder said. “We’re seeing less capacity. We’re seeing generators retire before we have enough replacement generation come online.”

Souder said many of those retirements are coal plants. And while new solar and wind sources are increasing, they haven’t kept pace.

Who could have seen this coming literally 20 years ago

Lmao Europe won’t be able to buy gas from the US either.

2050 climate goals will be reached well ahead of schedule, folks.

He will live in a villa mansion outside Kracov running a shadow government until the EU decides they want good relations with Russia again, which is when he will have a heart attack.
