The Russian Armed Forces destroy the remnants of Ukrainian air defence with group strikes of Lancet kamikaze drones

MOSCOW, May 3 — RIA Novosti. The Russian Armed Forces are using group strikes of Lancet kamikaze drones to destroy the remnants of Ukrainian air defence systems, an informed source told RIA Novosti.

"To destroy the remnants of Ukraine's long-range anti-aircraft missile systems, such as the S-300PS and S-300V, for example, the Russian military uses the tactics of concentrated group strikes, when up to a dozen Lancet loitering ammunition can be used in one raid," the agency's interlocutor said. .

He explained that such tactics make it possible to guarantee the most effective destruction of the S-300 family of systems, which include a large number of vehicles — both missile launchers and command posts, radars and other equipment.
In early April, another informed source told RIA Novosti that almost half of the foreign towed and self-propelled howitzers in the special operation zone were destroyed with the help of Lancets.

Loitering ammunition "Lancet" was developed by ZALA AERO. They can hit targets at ranges of several tens of kilometres. Drones carry warheads weighing three or five kilograms of different types, depending on the type of target being hit. In the Izdeliye-52 version, such a drone is equipped with two X-shaped wings and is able to dive almost vertically; in the Izdeliye-51 version, the drone is equipped with one large X-shaped wing.
Both variants of loitering ammunition are used to strike at Ukrainian troops. Typical targets for such drones are howitzers, air defence systems, various radars, MLRS combat vehicles, command and observation posts, and accumulations of manpower.

Ukraine withholding counteroffensive details from allies
POLITICO
Kyiv is holding close the details of its spring counteroffensive in an attempt to prevent the leak of sensitive information that could compromise its positions on the battlefield, according to two European officials who are in touch with military leaders in Ukraine.

The officials said their Ukrainian counterparts have cited the alleged leak of the classified documents from Massachusetts Air Guardsman JACK TEIXEIRA as one of the reasons Kyiv is holding back from sharing counteroffensive information, including its timing, where and how many troops they plan to move into position for the operation.

The spilled documents included detailed information about the war in Ukraine, such as the position of Kyiv’s troops, its weapons stockpiles and casualty estimates. In the days following the leak, U.S. officials scrambled to assure Ukraine and other allies in Europe that it was putting protections in place to prevent a similar breach from happening in the future.

But officials in Kyiv are still on high alert. While Ukraine is still likely sharing some basic intelligence with the U.S. and other European countries that have supported it with weapons over the past year, officials inside the country are working to prevent the widespread dissemination of details related to battlefield planning, the European officials said.

A Ukrainian lawmaker, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive deliberations, said that top officials in Kyiv also had withheld details about the counteroffensive from other politicians inside the capital.

“There are only a few people in the country that know the plan,” the lawmaker said.

A U.S. defense official said there hasn’t been any change and that Washington and Kyiv still have the same level of information-sharing. There have been no signs of Ukraine keeping anything from the U.S., the official continued.

National Security Council spokesperson JOHN KIRBY, asked by NatSec Daily if the administration feared being kept in the dark by the Ukrainians, said silence ahead of the launch wouldn’t be a surprise. “They don’t have an obligation to notify us or tell us in advance,” he told reporters Monday, adding “oftentimes we certainly do have a sense because we’re in daily communication with them.”

The U.S. still supports Ukrainian operations with real-time information and intelligence, Kirby continued. “What we’re focused on is not whether we get some sort of heads up. We’re focused on making sure that they have everything they need for when they’re ready to go.

Other Biden administration officials insist that Ukraine has never been fully open with the United States about its military plans. While Washington and Kyiv are in close touch, they naturally don’t share everything, and so there was never an expectation that Ukraine would call up the White House and say the counteroffensive begins on X day at Y time.

“They’ve been stingy with information from the beginning,” a U.S. official said.

It can be a convenient pretext to move the responsibility to the Kiev's side, allegedly: "they did not tell us"...
As if it is possible to plan anything serious without an access to the American intelligence and satellites' data.

Patrushev: the preservation of Ukraine as a state is not included in the plans of the United States

MOSCOW, May 3 — RIA Novosti. The preservation of Ukraine as a state is not part of the US plans, said Nikolai Patrushev, secretary of the Russian Security Council, in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper.

In his opinion, the United States needs Ukraine "only as an object of merciless exploitation of existing natural resources without a traditional population."

“Following such a neo-Nazi line, Washington has already turned it into a territory that millions of people are leaving en masse, seeking protection abroad from socio-economic problems and pro-fascist oppression,” Patrushev said.

According to him, "30 years of upheavals organized by Washington in Ukraine have led to a halving of the population."

"And today, the White House easily goes to continue the war with Russia to the last Ukrainian. At the same time, the preservation of Ukraine as a state is not included in the plans of the United States," the Secretary of the Security Council concluded.

"As former police officer Viktor Podvalny said during interrogations, he made a deal with the GUR, since his two sons, who live in Ukraine, are hiding from mobilization. So that they would not be taken into the army, he himself went to Mashovets and offered cooperation. The recruitment took place in Krakow, Poland. He got in touch with his curators on Mondays and Fridays - on a phone specially issued for this purpose using a VPN. Then it was Podvalny who recruited the rest of the group."

The offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has already begun, Yevgeny Prigozhin believes:

I believe that the offensive of the Ukrainian army has, in fact, already begun. We see the highest activity of enemy aircraft. We see its highest activity along the perimeter and inside our front... The enemy has also become more active outside the historical borders of Ukraine... we see the situation in our various areas... Therefore, I think that everything has already begun. When will it become active? I think that in the near future, maybe days.

Achieving US goals in Ukraine and Ukraine's victory are obviously different things. America has partially achieved its goals - the redistribution of oil and gas markets, the stabilization of its financial bubbles by the flow of money from Europe, the creation of an anti-Russian coalition from Europeans, rigidly subordinated to the Americans. Of course, they can pause and think about what benefits can still be extracted from the situation.

The goals of Russia's SVO - to ensure the security of the western borders by revising the Washington Consensus - have not yet been achieved. And obviously, they cannot be implemented simply by military means. The main ways are to create a relatively export-import-independent economy, strengthen the army, and protect the information and cultural space. There's a lot of work to do.

But the United States already has a recipe for freezing the conflict in Ukraine, which was voiced by Colin Kahl, assistant to the head of the Pentagon for political Affairs. In his opinion, no matter what borders Ukraine will be in, the preservation of the sovereignty of the Kiev regime will already be presented by the West as a victory, since Russia could not capture the whole of Ukraine.

Now this was confirmed in an interview with FOX News by the head of the State Department Anthony Blinken: "...In Ukraine, Russia has already failed in the sense that what they were trying to achieve initially was to erase Ukraine from the map, to include it in Russia, to eliminate its existence as an independent state. This has failed and will not lead to success."

It is under this narrative that the United States will promote proposals for peace talks to freeze the conflict in Ukraine, but this freeze is not beneficial for us strategically.

Both are worse!
