🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇲 Russian specialists received GMLRS missiles from the American MLRS HIMARS

Three rockets were found at the site of the shelling in Krasny Luch. They did not explode and therefore specialists can fully examine the warheads and hull fragments. All of these ammunition were produced in 2019.

In total, 6 such missiles were fired at the city, which clearly speaks of the effectiveness of one of the newest American MLRS - it amounted to 50%.

MOSCOW, July 25 - RIA Novosti. The company, which is part of Rostec, has created electronics for communication systems for Russian civil aircraft Sukhoi Superjet-100 and MS-21, the press service of the holding reported.
Ruselectronics Holding has developed electronic components for the communications equipment of Superjet and MS-21 aircraft. The technical parameters of the new devices make it possible to completely replace American products in the onboard radio communications equipment," the company said.

The devices are designed for switching high-frequency and super-high-frequency electrical circuits as part of radar and communications equipment. The products have been tested.
The components were developed by the Penza NIIEMP by order of the Nizhny Novgorod Research and Production Enterprise Polet.

As Vyacheslav Zuev, Director General of the Institute, noted, the use of high-frequency vacuum circuit breakers developed by NIIEMP as part of on-board radio communication equipment will make it possible to completely abandon similar products from American manufacturers Jennings Technology and Kilovac, increase the service life and increase the reliability of communication equipment.
“Today, the enterprise plans to produce 1,500 such devices annually for the needs of NPP Polet. We are ready to offer our products to other customers as well – production capacities allow us to multiply the output of high-frequency vacuum circuit breakers in the event of additional orders,” he added.
For the Superjet, Polet produces antennas and short-range radio stations.
As Yury Borisov, who then held the post of Deputy Prime Minister, noted in early June, the certification of the MS-21 with a domestic engine and the Sukhoi Superjet New with the replacement of 38 imported systems and components with Russian ones is planned to be completed by the end of 2023.

FSB thwarted the operation of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine with the participation of NATO to hijack Russian combat aircraft

MOSCOW, July 25 - RIA Novosti. The FSB (Russian Security Service) announced the prevention of the military intelligence operation of Ukraine to hijack Russian combat aircraft.
“Ukrainian military intelligence officers, acting on behalf of the political leadership of their country, tried to recruit Russian military pilots for a monetary reward and guarantees of obtaining citizenship of one of the EU countries. To persuade them to fly and land aircraft at airfields controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the statement says.
It is emphasized that the operation was supervised by the secret services of the NATO countries.
The security forces have already identified participants from among the employees of the Ukrainian special services and their accomplices.
“In the course of the operational game, Russian counterintelligence officers obtained information that helped our Armed Forces inflict fire damage on a number of Ukrainian military facilities,” the statement says.

In addition, the Russian intelligence service published operational video footage showing an employee of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry talking on the phone with a Russian pilot.
"Our goal is an airplane. And you understand this very well. We are ready to pay for it. It is written on the website of the Verkhovna Rada that we officially pay a million (dollars. - Ed.) for such things. We can agree with you - separately, another million on top, I guarantee you," the Ukrainian intelligence officer said.
As follows from the above fragments of correspondence between Ukrainian intelligence officers and Russian pilots in messengers, the GUR was going to pay four thousand dollars in advance for their readiness to hijack the plane, which would be transferred by couriers. The video shows the moment of transfer of this money, the delayed courier and seized dollars.
In Kyiv, they planned to steal the Su-24, Su-34 or Tu-22MZ.
In addition, Ukrainian intelligence tried to stimulate Russian pilots with promises to send their wives to EU countries and provide citizenship or a residence permit.
"As soon as the members of the family of a Russian pilot leave Russia, they immediately become hostages in the hands of the Main Intelligence Directorate. Blackmail, threats, pressure on relatives have become an integral part of the activities of the Ukrainian special services. There are no moral and moral restrictions for them. They would simply kidnapped," the FSB officer said on the air of the Rossiya 24 TV channel.
According to the plan of Kyiv, the navigator of the plane, which was planned to be hijacked, had to be poisoned with clonidine before departure. Then the plane was allegedly intercepted by Ukrainian fighters in the air and made a forced landing on the territory of Ukraine.

Some important statements from Dmitry Peskov (Putin''s press secretary) made recently:

- A strike on military infrastructure in the port of Odessa cannot and should not affect the process of grain shipment as part of a "grain deal."

- Statements by German Chancellor Scholz about the unreliability of Russia as a gas supplier contrast with the reality and history of supplies. RF always fulfils its obligations.

Sadly for Ukraine, the West has a surplus of wishful thinking and a shortage of steel
by Rod Liddle
Saturday July 23 2022, 6.00pm, The Sunday Times

Western media deliberately hide the truth about Russia’s achievements in Ukraine. - Wrote British journalist Rod Liddle in an article in the Times.

According to him, foreign publications are trying to exaggerate the possibilities of countering the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“The great achievements of the Russians were handled much more modestly,” said Liddle.
The observer noticed a trend: the more successful Russia is, the more coverage is given to the military’s imaginary “atrocities” in the Western media.

“Such messages make the “top” headlines and distort the true picture of wars. The whole problem is that we are not told the truth either. “Every statement of the Ukrainian politician, however ridiculous, is taken by us at its true value,” he said.
Liddle added that the West’s view of the conflict is not neutral and is shaped by wishful thinking.

What a surprise! That is exactly what we were
writing from the very beginning of the conflict.

MOSCOW, 25 July. /TASS/. Gazprom is forced to stop the operation of another gas turbine engine at the Portovaya compressor station (CS) due to the end of the time between overhauls before overhaul, the holding said. In this regard, the flow through the Nord Stream will fall by half compared to the current volumes.

"In connection with the end of the time between overhauls before overhaul (in accordance with the instructions of Rostekhnadzor and taking into account the technical condition of the engine), Gazprom is stopping the operation of another Siemens gas turbine engine at the Portovaya CS," the report says.

Thus, the daily output of the Portovaya CS from 07:00 Moscow time on July 27 will almost halve - to 33 million cubic meters. m per day from the current 67 million cubic meters. m.

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned of this development last week. He drew attention to the fact that at the end of July another turbine would be sent for repair work.

Earlier, Gazprom announced that it had received documents from Siemens on the return of a turbine for Nord Stream from Canada, but, as the holding noted, all of them still do not remove the previously identified risks and only raise additional questions. In particular, Gazprom still has questions about EU and UK sanctions, "the solution of which is important for the delivery of the engine to Russia and the urgent overhaul of other gas turbine engines for the Portovaya compressor station."

On the situation around Nord Stream:
Since mid-June, the gas pipeline has been operated at only 40% (67 million cubic meters per day) of its maximum capacity due to the untimely return of the Siemens gas turbine after repairs due to Canadian sanctions against the Russian Federation.

On July 9, after numerous requests from the FRG, Canada decided to return the repaired Siemens turbine. The European Commission stated that the return of the Nord Stream turbine by Canada does not violate EU sanctions against Russia, since they do not apply to gas transit equipment.

"Without Western assistance, Ukraine will not be able to stand even for a few weeks," said Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry.

"We have NATO artillery, NATO shells, NATO HIMARS. There is one unclosed issue left - the open sky," he says.

That is an answer, to the issue of proxy wars and who Russia is fighting. And with whose hands NATO is fighting.
