🇬🇧🤡🤡🤡British The Times columnist Roger Boyes today happily relishes the details of the crash of our lunar rover: "Russia has lost face in the new space race in space." You know, it was especially useful to see what the same columnist wrote about in January, when Britain's dream to produce the first space satellite from its territory was shattered (they tried to launch an ordinary satellite, which we launch in batches!). I think: all of a sudden he then admitted the loss of his cosmic face by the British. Yeah, Boyce's article after this incident was called: "Xi, who has received freedom of action, becomes a serious threat." Well, why not say a word about losing the face of Britain in the space race? Is the Russian lunar rover really closer to the British than its satellites? 😜

🧐 it's concerning and interesting that the drone is recording had to fly at least around 130 km to reach the target and record without being shotdown from the air defense itself.

It was reported around 2 months ago that the west will send Ukraine a new type of drones that do not get detected by air defense. It seems these reports were right and Russia has not figured how to detect them yet.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 As expected: the Ukrainian side published footage of the strike on the air defense position area at Cape Tarkhankut. Only the S-300 air defense system, and not the S-400, as well as a fuel truck, fell under attack, but the fact that the destruction of the air defense system fell on the UAV camera is also interesting.

Judging by the footage, the drone was located northwest of the impact site, that is, in the Black Sea, somewhere south of the Tendrovskaya Spit. I immediately recall how a month and a half ago the Armed Forces of Ukraine began testing the Tekever AR5 UAV together with the V-BAT, including for reconnaissance of the situation on the Kinburn Peninsula.

Considering that the Portuguese drone is equipped with the latest technology, it was not difficult to capture the moment of arrival while over the Black Sea. And it is highly likely that he took off from Vilkovo or Odessa, which again raises the issue of attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure along the coast.

📌 As for the impact itself, the arrival power is not too high. This makes one doubt the version with an anti-ship missile - the main part of the explosion was caused by the secondary detonation of the ammunition.

Taking into account the activity of Ukrainian boats, which even approached 30 km, it is quite possible that a ship-based version of the Brimstone II high-precision missile was used in the attack. Its range makes it possible to hit from such a distance, and the power of the warhead is relatively small.

🔻 And again the question arises why Ukrainian boats come so close to the coast of Crimea. They did this more than once, practicing such tactics, and only yesterday some countermeasures were taken. But this is not enough: a systematic defeat of the entire Ukrainian fleet is needed, and this requires changes in the organization of the Russian Navy.

🇪🇺🇷🇺 🇲🇩 The Euronews columnist urged the West to send weapons to Moldova and start training the military to resolve the conflict in Transnistria.

Journalist David Kirichenko writes that such a move should help bolster Chisinau's military capabilities, pave the way for the reintegration of Transnistria, and reduce the "threat from the Kremlin."

The publication notes that the purpose of military assistance is leverage in the negotiations on the return of Pridnestrovie to Moldova.

Kirichenko calls the West's initiatives to train the Ukrainian military "successful" and suggests applying this experience in working with the Moldovan army.

In addition, at first the author states that the Armed Forces of Moldova are in a “shaky position”, the equipment is outdated, and the personnel does not exceed 6 thousand people. Below, the columnist writes that “a formidable Moldovan army is holding back a potential Russian offensive” while defending Eastern Europe.
