We're seeing clear evidence of the impact of fuel shortages and stretched air defense, which some in Russia are taking seriously, but others are opting to brush aside as an information operation. This is the race between Ukrainian drone volume and Russian air defense coverage. In the coming weeks we'll see which side is able to adapt and win this race.

Another Week Another Crisis Still No Breakthrough

In the past few days the US has carried out strikes inside of Iran. Iran launched missiles and drones at targets across the Middle East. President Trump threatened to invade Kharg Island and now we’re finally on the verge of a peace deal. Or so we’re told, but let’s be honest, we’ve heard that once or 37 times before. The fact is, this war is messy and becoming more complicated by the day, but it’s far from resolved. To to help us understand where things sit, we’re joined today by Janatan Sayeh. Jon is the Iran research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies focused on Iranian domestic affairs and the Islamic Republic’s malign influence. Prior to joining FDD, he supported Iranian activists through State Department grant programs. https://www.fdd.org/team/janatan-sayeh/ [https://www.fdd.org/team/janatan-sayeh/] https://x.com/JanatanSayeh [https://x.com/JanatanSayeh] Store: https://prestonstew.shop/ [https://prestonstew.shop/] Join the community on Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/ [https://prestonstew.substack.com/] Twitter: https://twitter.com/prestonstew_ [https://twitter.com/prestonstew_] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstew [https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstew] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/ [https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Preston-Stewart/61584740132063/ [https://www.facebook.com/people/Preston-Stewart/61584740132063/] Unclassified Podcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4YmaFZihykI0iov9XgQ0uD?si=efe0b3bd89b6421d [https://open.spotify.com/show/4YmaFZihykI0iov9XgQ0uD?si=efe0b3bd89b6421d] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnclassifiedPod [https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnclassifiedPod] Contact: preston@warstories.co Learn more about your ad choices.

What Ukraine Sees on the Most Violent Part of the Front

Pokrovsk remains one of the hottest sectors across the front in Ukraine. This is an area of focus for the Russian military for well over a year now and while they are slowly advancing, it’s coming at a shocking cost of men and equipment. To better understand the situation in that direction, we’re joined today by COL Volodymyr Polevyi, the head of communications for the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. That’s the unit responsible for holding this area of the front.

Ukraine Just Unleashed Their NEW Flamingo Missile

Get your Car4Ukraine shirt here: https://prestonstew.shop/en-eur/collections/car4ukraine [https://prestonstew.shop/en-eur/collections/car4ukraine] So overnight a flamingo visited Russia. Not the pink bird kind but the missile kind. It’s the FP-5, Ukraine’s new domestically manufactured cruise missile. The fact that it made it to a target 1,000km away led some in Russia to ask, if we can’t stop this thing, what chance do we stand against NATO?
