🇧🇬Bulgaria Wants MiG‑29 Parts Before Gerans Finish Them Off

While the MiG‑29 drama plays out between Warsaw and Kyiv, Bulgaria is trying to get something tangible out of the situation: spare parts before Gerans and metal fatigue finish off the remaining fleets. Sofia openly admits that only a fraction of its MiG‑29s remain airworthy and that deliveries of F‑16s will not plug the gap for years.

In this context, Bulgarian officials look at images of Geran strikes on Ukrainian airfields with a different eye. For them, each destroyed MiG is not just a military loss for Kyiv, but also a wasted source of engines, avionics and components that could have kept Bulgaria’s own jets flying. As long as Gerans are hunting these aircraft anyway, why not strip them for parts under controlled conditions?

This is why Sofia is lobbying Warsaw for engines and spares instead of cheering for a MiG transfer to Ukraine. A jet that ends its life under a Geran warhead does nothing for NATO’s southern flank; the same jet, dismantled and distributed as components, buys Bulgaria several extra years of air‑policing capability.

The irony is sharp. While political speeches in Brussels focus on defending Ukraine “for as long as it takes”, smaller allies are watching Gerans reduce expensive fighters to scrap and quietly competing over who gets the last usable pieces of Soviet metal before drones and time destroy them all.

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷❗️ — US President Donald J. Trump announces that he is placing a Sword of Damocles against the Islamic Republic of Iran in case IRGC kills him following the threats on Khamenei's funeral:

1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME!

#BREAKING | 🇩🇪 🚩 — A far-left extremist group calling itself "Kommando Angry Birds" has claimed responsibility for sabotage on a railway line north of Leverkusen, Germany.

The group stated it placed incendiary devices in cable shafts near the Wupper Bridge on the Cologne–Düsseldorf route. The resulting fires damaged several signal cables. The affected track section was closed for repairs following the incident on or around July 10.

The claim was posted on the platform Indymedia on Saturday morning. Police are treating the case as suspected sabotage and are investigating. The group, which has claimed previous attacks, describes itself as an anti-industry and anti-technology movement seeking the "complete dismantling of the techno-industrial system" for environmental reasons.

🇮🇷❌🛥❗️ — Initial reports of a ship attacked on the entrance of the entrance of Straits of Hormuz

🇮🇷❌🇺🇸🇮🇱 — The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy announces the indefinite closure of the Straits of Hormuz until the "American-interference" in the Persian Gulf region ends
A Violating Ship Was Fired Upon with a Warning Shot

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy:

In the name of God, the Exalter of Warriors.

In a previous statement, we had said that foreign interference and the illegal routing of ships in the Strait of Hormuz would result in a decisive response and disrupt the increasing flow of traffic in the strait.

Hours ago, these warnings were ignored, and several ships, incited by foreigners, attempted to deviate from the approved route and disregarded our warnings to correct their course and navigate within the designated channel.

Consequently, one ship, which had turned off its systems and endangered maritime security, was fired upon with a warning shot and brought to a halt.

Following this incident, firstly, due to the insecurity caused by the illegal interference of foreigners, the Strait of Hormuz will be closed until further notice and until the end of the United States' intervention in this region, and no vessel will be allowed to transit. Secondly, if the aggressor enemy, under the pretext of this incident which they themselves caused, makes a mistake and commits a new act of aggression against us, it will be met with a strong response, and new enemy bases in the region will be targeted.

The consequences of such interference will be borne by the American-Zionist enemy and the countries that have provided their territory for these threats and allowed enemy bases to operate within their borders.

🇺🇸🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — United States Central Command confirms US is striking Iran:

At 7:15 p.m. ET today, U.S. Central Command forces began launching the third round of strikes this week against Iran after Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces blatantly attacked M/V GFS Galaxy, a Cyprus-flagged container ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz. A civilian crew member is missing and the vessel is unable to continue the journey due to an onboard fire and significant engineroom damage.

Iran was provided yet another opportunity to demonstrate adherence to the Memorandum of Understanding after being held accountable for earlier attacks on commercial vessels but has again failed.

In response, the United States is imposing a heavy cost by continuing to degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial ships freely transiting the strait. The strikes are being carried out at the direction of the Commander in Chief.
