RT @Tsahkna: Today, Estonian MFA summoned the Russian Chargé d’Affaires ad interim to condemn Russia’s ongoing disinformation campaign against Estonia and the Baltic States.
Russia continues to spread false accusations, threats and deliberate provocations.
Let us be absolutely clear: Estonia has not allowed its territory or airspace to be used for attacks against Russia. These claims are false and Russia knows it.
The appearance of drones in Baltic region is a direct consequence of Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine. Ukraine has the right to defend itself against the aggressor and strike military targets sustaining Russia’s war machine.
Estonia will not be intimidated by propaganda or threats. A threat against one NATO Ally is a threat against the whole Alliance, and our Allies stand united behind us.

RT @armyinformcomua: Ukraine is now testing low-cost interceptor missiles designed specifically to shoot down Russian Shahed drones — a development that could reshape the economics of mass-drone warfare.
Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov @FedorovMykhailo disclosed the programme during a meeting with media.
“Per the President’s task, we are now focused on creating cheap missiles for shooting down Shaheds. We have already found solutions that are close to readiness and have begun testing them.”
The Context
Ukraine has been defending against Shaheds with a combination of mobile fire groups, electronic warfare, and increasingly — drone interceptors. The current model works, and works well.
But Russia is iterating. Shahed variants are becoming faster, fly higher, and increasingly use jet propulsion rather than the original piston engines. The drone-interceptor model — based on smaller UAVs catching Shaheds in flight — works well against the current generation....

TASS has clipped together some of the footage that now is out.
That of Gorshkov looks like something from the 80s though.. https://twitter.com/The_Lookout_N/status/2057460359070446064#m

RT @ByChrisGordon: U.S. Air Force MQ-9 Reaper drones have been the “most valuable player” in Operation Epic Fury against Iran, Chief of Staff Gen. Ken Wilsbach said today. The U.S. has conducted “many, many strikes” with the Reaper against Iran, Wilsbach said. “No other platform is even close to the MQ-9.”

"Virtually all major oil refineries in central Russia have been forced to halt or scale back fuel output following Ukrainian drone attacks in recent days, according to official data and sources.
The combined capacity of refineries that have fully or partially halted operations exceeds 83 million metric tons per year, or around 238,000 tons per day. That accounts for around one quarter of Russia's total refining capacity, according to data and sources who spoke on condition of anonymity...
One of Russia's largest refineries, Kirishi, with capacity of 20 million metric tons per year, has been fully shut since May 5, according to the sources."
