The covert war continues to end the proxy war...

Editor's note: ...against Russia. This time a large ammunition manufacturing facility in Italy goes up in flames. On Thursday, August 13, 2026 a fire and powerful explosion struck the KNDS Ammo Italy plant in Colleferro, about 40 km (37 miles) southeast of Rome. The facility is operated by KNDS Ammo Italy, a subsidiary of the French-German defense firm KNDS. It's the former Simmel Difesa plant. The ammunition plant produced 155mm artillery shells for Ukraine. It looks as though Ukraine's military is going to come up drastically short on 155mm artillery rounds. This plant in Italy is removed from the supply chain and the ammunition plant in Texas that turned out not to be producing anything in a $553 million scam production facility. Since 2022, suspected sabotage or explosions have struck ammunition facilities tied to Ukraine's arms supply chain across Europe: Transnistria's Cobasna depot (April–June 2022), Czechia's Poličské Strojírny plant, Bulgaria's EMCO depot near Belitsa (2024 and August 10, 2026), and Italy's KNDS plant in Colleferro (August 13, 2026), with Czech authorities formally attributing earlier 2014 Vrbětice blasts to Russia's GRU.
