[Regnum] After a recent strong earthquake with a magnitude of 8.7–8.8, the southern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula shifted almost 2 m in a southeasterly direction. This was reported on Tuesday, August 5, by the press service of the Kamchatka branch of the Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The scientists clarified that they had carried out a preliminary calculation based on the results of geodynamic observations.
"It turned out that we all went southeast quite well. The maximum coseismic displacements after the July 30 earthquake were observed in the southern part of the peninsula. There they amounted to almost 2 m, which is comparable to the horizontal displacements after the 2011 earthquake in Tohoku, Japan," the service's Telegram channel says.
At the same time, the Petropavlovsk cluster of stations, including Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, shifted to a slightly smaller distance, the press service added.
Earlier, on July 30, an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.7–8.8 occurred in the Kamchatka Territory, which was the strongest since 1952. As a result, a tsunami threat was declared in the region, and residents were asked not to approach the coast in dangerous areas.
A high alert regime was also introduced in Kamchatka, and a state of emergency was declared in the North Kuril District of the Sakhalin Region. The earthquake triggered a tsunami in the Pacific Ocean, which is why a threat was declared in the coastal areas of Japan, the United States, the Philippines, and several Latin American countries.
Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Director of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexey Ozerov said on August 4 that recent strong earthquakes in Kamchatka caused volcanic activity. According to the scientist, the Avachinsky giant was the first to become active, throwing out steam and gas columns up to 300 meters high. Then, an ash column up to 6 km high formed in the Klyuchevskoy volcano, and a lava flow began to pour out onto the slope. The Krasheninnikov volcano became active on August 3, Ozerov specified.

It's bad enough to get jolted that way but the rocking and rolling continued for quite a while. The video goes for 50 seconds but we don't know how much longer the quake lasted. If you have time to grab your smart phone and start a video recording the quake has already lasted for too long.

[ColonelCassad] T-90M conveyor Enemy assessment of Russian tank production.
The domestic segment drew attention to the June attempt by enemy resources to analyze the production volumes of T-90M tanks at Uralvagonzavod (UVZ) based on open source data.They came to disappointing conclusions for themselves: contrary to Western media publications about the alleged production of 30 vehicles per year, in reality this number is much higher, and the scale is only growing.
More about the figures and facts:
According to estimates by Ukrainian resources, in 2022, UVZ produced up to 70 tanks of this type. Some of the vehicles were not new assemblies, but modernizations of previously produced T-90As to the T-90M level, as assumed by the contracts concluded before the SVO.
However, already in 2023, the annual production rate more than doubled, and last year alone, up to 300 vehicles were delivered to the Russian Armed Forces. At the same time, all currently produced T-90Ms are made from scratch, including the hull.
Enemy resources claim that since the beginning of 2022, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have managed to destroy approximately 130 T-90Ms. Even if this figure is completely true, the annual production covers the losses for the entire period of the SVO and even allows increasing their number in the troops.
At the same time, enemy media note possible potential difficulties with components and equipment wear, which may complicate further increase in production. But the scale of T-90M use on the front line has decreased due to the drone factor, so tank losses have become fewer.
In this case, we are talking about enemy estimates - real figures may differ (although it is still a question in which direction). However, the order of numbers shows what Western analytics are worth. The beginning of the SVO about how sanctions against UVZ will stop tank production.
This is also a good illustration of the theses "Russia produces almost nothing and fights only with Soviet reserves", popular among the Ukrainian and, for some reason, part of the Russian public. Although it is in no way related to the release of the T-90M from scratch.
And yet, a tank is an expensive high-tech product that will not "overwhelm" the enemy in today's realities. The fruits of production success can only be obtained with a rational approach, starting from the tactics of using machines and ending with a specialized KAZ.
After the start of the SVO, many finally understood why the USSR produced a huge number of tanks and left our generation with huge stocks of tanks, some of which were not sawed up and sold after the destruction of the USSR. And which were useful to us.I wrote back in 2022 - the country needs another 1-2 tank factories + 2-3 factories for the production of light armored vehicles. Current capacities are insufficient.
[FoxNews] Russian attack comes days before Friday ceasefire deadline set by President Donald Trump
Romania was forced to scramble F-16 jets after Russia carried out a strike just half a mile from the NATO nation's territory.
The country's Ministry of National Defense (MApN) confirmed in a post on X that Russia carried out a drone attack near its border.
"On the night of August 5-6, the Russian forces launched a massive drone attack on the civilian infrastructure in the Ismail area, Ukraine, in the vicinity of the border with Romania," Romania's defense ministry wrote in a post on X.
"The radar systems of the MApN detected air targets in Ukrainian space, close to Tulcea County. At 1:10a.m., the population in the north of the county was warned via RO-Alert," the ministry added. RO-Alert is Romania’s official emergency warning system.
The defense ministry stated that two F-16 fighter jets took off "to monitor the national airspace," but no "unauthorized intrusions" were detected. The ministry said it would carry out checks in the area and keep NATO allies updated in real time.
The drones reportedly struck oil and gas pipelines at the Orlivka plant in Odesa, Ukraine. Bright orange flames and plumes of smoke were visible across the Danube River.
Nearby Lithuania has also suffered from Russia’s war on Ukraine. Drones from Putin ally Belarus crossed into its territory, according to Lithuanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Kęstutis Budrys, who said he spoke with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
"These repeated incidents represent an alarming sign of the spillover of Russia’s aggression against [Ukraine] onto [NATO territory]," Budrys said of the incident. "We cannot compromise the security of our country and citizens, nor the integrity of NATO airspace. We must remain vigilant, as the threat is real and growing."
