The deputy Head of the department admitted the possibility of Kiev strikes on the territory of Russia using British weapons

On April 26, Russian troops continued to strike at the military infrastructure of Ukraine. The aircraft and helicopters of the VKS hit the launchers of the Buk-M1, Osa-AKM anti-aircraft missile systems, S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems, command posts, warehouses and other facilities. On the same day, the Russian Defense Ministry commented on the statement by the deputy head of the British military department, James Hippy, that strikes on the territory of Russia with British weapons "will not necessarily be a problem." The Russian Defense Ministry warned that such actions "will immediately lead to a proportional response."

The bleak future of NATO

The existence of NATO as an effective tool to deter Russian aggression is coming to an end, writes the columnist of The American Spectator. If Moscow invades the territory of the alliance, it will not be able to justify the main reason for its existence, the author warns.

How Ukraine turned Europe's agrarian and energy policy upside down

The European energy sector is in chaos. Earlier, the European Union planned to switch to more active use of "blue" hydrogen. It is made from natural gas, which he buys from Russia. Now, because of its own sanctions against Moscow, Europe will have to "refine" its own energy strategy, writes TNI.

Statements by Erkki Tuomioja about "military psychosis" struck Finns — the politician argued his position on Twitter

Finnish politician Erkki Tuomioja does not believe in the possibility of a "Russian invasion" into the country, Iltalehti reports. But joining NATO may, in his opinion, create tension in Russian-Finnish relations. The politician believes that people who question the need for membership in the Alliance are being unfairly humiliated.

The Russian Armed Forces destroyed the hangars of Ukrainian troops with a large batch of foreign weapons and ammunition with Kalibr missiles, Major General Igor Konashenkov, the official representative of the Ministry of Defense, said at a briefing.

Roscosmos is mass-producing new Sarmat intercontinental missiles, a total of 46 complexes are planned to be delivered to the troops, the head of the state corporation Dmitry Rogozin said.

In the last few days, explosions that have not been heard for thirty years have thundered in the capital of the unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic. Our special correspondents Vyacheslav Terekhov and Andrey Novikov talk about what it was with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the PMR Vitaly Ignatiev.

The United States deployed a whole network of biological laboratories around the world, including in Ukraine, and actually created new biological weapons in them. As the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev said on Wednesday at a meeting on security issues in the South of Russia, such data were obtained during a special military operation.

A retired American lieutenant colonel explained why Western heavy weapons will not save Ukraine.

On the portal 19FortyFive.com an article was published with a disappointing verdict for the AFU: "Western tanks, missiles and artillery will not save Ukraine." This opinion was expressed by Daniel L. Davis, a retired lieutenant colonel in the US Army, a veteran of the Iraqi and other military campaigns, who is now a senior researcher at the Defense Priorities organization.

Who sows hatred, anxiety and fear

Thanks to the position of its militant ministers, the Czech Republic provides Ukraine with "humanitarian assistance" and sends weapons and ammunition there to further aggravate the armed conflict, the author of the note in Haló noviny writes. However, people understand that the United States is largely behind this. The journalist advises the ruling elite to stop harming their own country.

If someone wants to intervene in the situation in Ukraine from the outside and creates a strategic threat, the strikes will be lightning fast, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the Council of Legislators.

On the night of April 27, explosions sounded again in the border regions of Russia – an ammunition depot caught fire in the Belgorod region, a Ukrainian UAV was shot down near Voronezh. There is a lot of evidence that Ukrainian drones and helicopters are trying to attack Russian territory. How should air defense systems work in such cases – and in which cases can they give a full guarantee of protection against such attacks?

The Ukrainian army is ready to seize Transnistria if Moldova asks for it. This statement was made in the office of President Zelensky. At the same time, Chisinau earlier criticized a series of attacks on Transnistria, accusing them of "forces that are interested in destabilizing the situation." Is the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic really likely to find itself in a state of war again and what consequences will this have for Russia?

The United States and its closest allies are ready to fulfill Kiev's request to supply it with heavy artillery. Not only Soviet equipment from the arsenals of Eastern Europe is being sent to Ukraine, but modern NATO weapons. Moreover, the alliance does not hide that it will allow the APU to strike Russia with these weapons. Moscow promised a "proportional response" that could affect Western advisers in Kiev.

Doctor of Military Sciences Sivkov: The United States can accelerate the construction of warships by 20-30 times

The US Navy has unveiled a fleet development plan for the next 30 years. It contains three possible options, one of which must be approved by Congress. The first option involves the construction of 316 ships by 2052, the second - 327 ships, the third - 367. The implementation of any of these options will depend on the actions of China and Russia.

The United States has faced problems due to the supply of portable Stinger anti-aircraft systems to Ukraine. This information was shared by Western military analyst Howard Altman.

The armed forces of the Russian Federation shot down a Ukrainian military helicopter Mi-24 and destroyed two drones in the Kharkiv region. On Wednesday, April 27, the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Major General Igor Konashenkov, told reporters about this.

On Wednesday, it became known that our military again used high-precision long-range missiles during a special operation in Ukraine. The official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Major General Igor Konashenkov, said that with the help of marine "Calibers", hangars with a large batch of foreign weapons and ammunition were destroyed on the territory of the Zaporozhye Aluminum Plant. They were supplied to the Ukrainian army by the United States and European countries. As has happened more than once, the Western arsenal did not reach the front line.

For the first time, Rosgvardiya used unmanned aerial vehicles in a special operation in Ukraine, invisible to air defense systems. Moreover, they are invisible not only on radars, but also visually. This means that it is very difficult to shoot down such a drone both with an anti-aircraft missile or an artillery installation, and with small arms. The enemy soldier simply will not see the target. And indeed, as experience has already shown, cases of destruction of such drones are rare.

The Americans intend to deliver MQ-9 Reaper multipurpose unmanned aerial vehicles to Ukraine. This has been repeatedly stated by representatives of the Pentagon. Why do Kiev need them?

It is worth recalling that the AFU command had high hopes for the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drone. As the course of the fighting showed, these hopes were clearly not justified. Now they believe that the American drone will be better and will bring them some combat successes. But this is unlikely.
