The story about the drones attacking Putin seemed to have no legs, no mention of it in the news any more.
Kadyrov: Akhmat special forces soldiers are ready to replace the Wagner PMC in Bakhmut
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, is ready to replace the assault squads of the founder of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin with Akhmat special forces soldiers in Artemovsk (Bakhmut). The fighters of PMC "Wagner" play a decisive role in the Bakhmut area.
“If older brother Prigozhin and Wagner leave, then the General Staff will lose an experienced combat unit, and younger brother Kadyrov and Akhmat will take its place in Artemovsk. If the scenario is still like this, then our fighters are already ready to advance and occupy the city, ”Kadyrov wrote in his
telegram channel. He noted that the Akhmat special forces are ready to enter Bakhmut and take up positions in just a few hours.
Kadyrov stressed that Prigozhin deserves respect for his contribution to the liberation of the cities of Donbass. The head of Chechnya stressed that the issue of lack of ammunition at PMC Wagner should be discussed in order to adjust plans.
Kadyrov cited the work of Akhmat special forces commander Apta Alaudinov as an example. He manages a detachment that fights with the enemy on a line of hundreds of kilometers. According to Kadyrov, Alaudinov has never shared on the Internet the problems his fighters face. “I note that in the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, with rare exceptions, they always met the Chechen units and helped. And there are always misunderstandings in ordinary peaceful life," Kadyrov concluded.

Russia’s jamming of US-provided rocket systems complicates Ukraine’s war effort
Russia has been thwarting US-made mobile rocket systems in Ukraine more frequently in recent months, using electronic jammers to throw off its GPS guided targeting system to cause rockets to miss their targets, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.
Ukrainian military officials, with the US’ help, have had to come up with a variety of different workarounds as it continues to use the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) which has been perhaps the most revered and feared piece of weaponry in
Ukraine’s fight.
The medium-range rocket systems were hailed as a game changer in the conflict and
have played a key role since the moment they arrived in Ukraine last summer, including in last year’s offensive that allowed Ukraine to take back significant swaths of territory from Russia.
But in recent months, the systems have been rendered increasingly less effective by the Russians’ intensive blocking, five US, British and Ukrainian sources tell CNN, forcing US and Ukrainian officials to find ways to tweak the HIMARS’ software to counter the evolving Russian jamming efforts.
“It is a constant cat-and-mouse game” of finding a countermeasure to the jamming, a Pentagon official said, only to then have the Russians counteract that countermeasure. And it is not clear how sustainable that game is in the long term.
With a major Ukrainian counteroffensive expected to start very soon and Ukraine’s reliance on HIMARS, solutions are even more of a priority so that Ukrainian troops can make significant headway.
The US has also helped the Ukrainians locate the Russian jammers and destroy them – a “high priority” effort, according to a secret Pentagon document that was part of a trove allegedly leaked by Airman Jack Teixeira.
A US official confirmed that the US has been advising the Ukrainians on how to identify and destroy Russian jammers since there are a limited number of ways to modify HIMARS and their rockets.
Depending on the location and strength of the jamming, a rocket can still launch and result in a successful strike with significant damage. In addition to GPS guidance, the rockets have inertial navigation systems that are not susceptible and remain accurate, though not as precise as when guided by GPS coordinates.
