Thermal imagery shows new fires at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, acquired circa 23:00 UTC on 17 July.
The fires are located in the U.S.-operated area of the base.

It should be noted that a significant fuel source is required to create a sustained fire large enough to register on FIRMS.

Examples range from fuel storage, to vehicles, to logistics warehouses, to weapons stockpiles.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Earlier today, the Kiev regime filled with rage and unable to advance on the front carried out a terror attack on Wildberries warehouse in the Moscow region.

7 civilians kiIIed and 25+ injured.

Wildberries is the largest online retailer in Russia, similar to the US Amazon.

Unlike Ukraine, Russia does not store weapons in parcels and transport them using civilian logistics like Nova Poshta, the Russian military is very distinct from civilians. Kiev understands this but they are so desperate for PR points.

This doesn’t hurt the Russian government, rather the private owners and the civilian orders. Won’t get my cheap headphones for some time but this won’t stop our tanks from moving forward in Donetsk.

The Pentagon is purchasing mass-produced, low-cost, precision-guided munitions for a major war.

Under the Family of Affordable Mass Missiles (FAMM) program, the US Department of War this week signed agreements with Anduril for its Barracuda-500 missile, CoAspire for its RAACM (Rapidly Adaptable Affordable Cruise Missile), and Zone 5 Technologies for the Rusty Dagger missile. The agreement aims to create a stockpile of mass-produced, low-cost, precision-guided munitions for a major war, for use in the European, Middle Eastern, and Indo-Pacific theaters of operations.

▪️ Ukraine will be the first to test these weapons in a war with Russia.  As early as October, it is expected to receive the first batches of missiles for F-16 and MiG-29 fighters under the ERAM (Extended Range Attack Munition) program: the AGM-188A Rusty Dagger from Zone 5 and the RAACM from CoAspire. It’s also worth noting that the US Army is developing its Low-Cost Containerized Missiles (LCCM) program to create affordable ground-launched missiles. Agreements have been signed for the supply of missiles for testing from Anduril, CoAspire, Leidos, and Zone 5. Additionally, a two-year contract has been signed with the startup Castelion for a minimum annual purchase of 500 Blackbeard hypersonic missiles, currently under development, with funding for the acquisition of more than 12,000 Blackbeard missiles over five years.
 
Russia faces the obvious challenge of advancing the development of its air defense/missile defense system and implementing similar strike capabilities – Elena Panina, Director of the Institute of Russian Strategic Studies
