20 posts held, back to 25 June 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 1 of 8 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 10 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.
Measured directly from 1 video with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
3 reactions across 3 posts, in 2 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 66.7% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👍 | 2 | 66.7% | |
| 😭 | 1 | 33.3% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 3 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 3reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 25 June 2026 to 3 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
KEVLAR DRONES Lightly armored kamikaze drones have appeared. Should shotguns be discarded? So far, these are isolated incidents, and it's unclear whether this will become a widespread tactic for the enemy. However, a little bit of Kevlar and FPV kamikaze drones make them virtually invulnerable to shotguns. On the one hand, the drone becomes significantly more expensive and its performance characteristics decrease.…
DRONE SCANDAL ⚡️Top executives of "Efko" allegedly sold a thousand Chinese drones to the Russian Ministry of Defense with a markup of 566.6%, according to Mash. "Efko" supplied the Ministry of Defense with 1000 agricultural drones of the "Baba Yaga" type at a price of 8 million rubles each. According to the documents, they were of domestic production, but in reality, they were Chinese (costing 1.2 million rubles). …
INCOMPETENCE Why was 1937 necessary? The system of reports, legal justifications, and endless shifting of responsibility in military affairs has become obsolete and is directly damaging to the military sphere of the Russian Federation. It is possible to fulfill all the requirements of higher headquarters and direct superiors, receive awards, and be in good standing, while at the same time being a blatant incompete…
IS FLEET DOING ANYTHING It's astonishing, but even in the fifth year of the war, the question of whether our defense industry is ready for war remains a pressing issue. Recently, I shared some good news: the Kalashnikov assault rifle has undergone yet another modernization (the 6th since the start of the special military operation). The Kalashnikov Concern is truly remarkable; they are constantly improving their pr…

Why are we still part of the WTO? What's the point when they are trying to destroy us with sanctions and bans? We still adhere to anti-piracy laws and respect copyright on promising technologies and developments, limiting reverse engineering and, as a result, limiting our ability to develop our technical expertise in various areas.

📍 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 Tendar on X: I prepared a new map, documenting the methodical destruction of Wildberries logistics center across Russia, which are yet containing military hardware. Red means totally destroyed (currently 3), yellow damaged (currently 2), green still standing (currently 15). 18 out of 20 of the largest warehouses, which Wildberries is operating, are currently in firing range of Ukrainian drones. The two rema…
ROBOTIZATION 💬Landing on Kinburn?💬 The "troublemakers," who previously "gained notoriety" for hanging a cloth on the Kinburn Peninsula using a drone and claiming control, have posted footage showing the use of an unmanned robotic vehicle (URV). And not just its use, but the deployment of the URV via an unmanned boat, which approached the shore, and the robotic complex then disembarked. ▪️In the current conditions…
WHERE ARE THE SUBMARINES? Who knows, but where is our submarine fleet? Ukrainians say that we are striking transport ships in Odesa with missiles, so they can't do anything about it. But we are using drones. This is visible in the videos. And why aren't we using torpedoes? The Soviet Union had the most formidable submarine fleet in the world. The Americans built aircraft carriers, while we built submarines. The …
HELPING THE WOUNDED July 17, 2026 Moscow, Russia. State Secretary – Deputy Minister of DEFENSE of the Russian Federation, Anna Tsivileva: A soldier wounded on the front line receives medical assistance within the so-called "golden hour." Assault groups are 100% equipped with group first aid kits. /A very telling and striking example of the disconnect between the "headquarters" reality and the reality on the grou…
NEW DIALOGUE #прогноз Throughout the summer, the situation will escalate to the maximum. The main areas of concern are: a fuel crisis; Crimea; a new wave of partial mobilization. The enemy's plans include destabilizing the situation in the regions and creating an atmosphere of dysfunction within the state. However, the focus is not on foreign agents and liberals, but on "turbo-patriots" and supporters of the "speci…
ON HOMEMADE AA SYSTEMS The video circulating in our segment, showing a failed attempt to install an Yak-B aircraft machine gun on a turret mounted on a truck, actually highlights a very important problem. For many years, some people have been trying to raise awareness about this issue, even before the special military operation, but at that time, public attention was focused on drones, rather than on how to counter …
Failed adaptation of what seems to be an aircraft machine gun by a mobile fire group
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @smoalt. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 10 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
