The British tabloid The Sun called the upgraded version of our Tu-22M3 strategic bomber "deadly".

There was a confirmation of the previously announced information about the installation of short-range anti-aircraft missile systems "Tor-M2KM" on patrol ships of the project 22160. Pictures of the Pavel Derzhavin corvette with the SAM installed on the stern appeared on the Web. Allegedly, the decision to install the SAM on the ships of this project was made taking into account the experience of a special military operation in Ukraine.

"We will draw appropriate conclusions and use our means of destruction, which we have enough to strike at those objects that we have not yet struck" – this is exactly the response promised by Vladimir Putin if the United States delivers long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine for the HIMARS MLRS promised by the Pentagon to Ukraine.

In the American press, publications have become more frequent, which tell about the problems experienced by the Ukrainian military with the exploitation of Western weapons. Not so long ago, the Western media published the revelations of a Ukrainian sergeant who told how special equipment was installed in his unit – binoculars with laser rangefinders, but no one knew how to use this expensive equipment – "they tried to search for and translate instructions from English using an online translator."

The United States will provide Ukraine with intelligence information about the targets that will be hit by long-range MLRS. This was stated by the deputy head of the Pentagon for Political Affairs, Colin Kohl.

Some time ago, Mikhail Podolyak, an adviser in the office of the President of Ukraine Zelensky, made a statement about how many foreign weapons Ukraine needs "to defeat Russia." Recall that Podolyak "demanded" the provision of 1,000 American-made howitzers, 300 MLRS and at least 500 tanks. If the West supplies Ukraine with such a number of weapons, then, according to the Ukrainian official, the AFU "will be able to launch a counteroffensive."

However, according to its measurable parameters, the Skyranger 30 looks advanced except in the Western world. It seems that an annoying inaccuracy has crept into the manufacturer's assessment.

Why experts called the strengthening of the front by the Ukrainian defense units a gesture of despair

In two days, the Russian Aerospace Forces and air defense units destroyed six Ukrainian combat aircraft. On the Day of Russia, three Su-25s were shot down, which were used by the APU. A day earlier, two MiG-29s and one Su-25 were hit. Other armed formations of Ukraine have also suffered heavy losses since the beginning of the special military operation. According to experts, this is evidenced by the fact that from June 12, employees of the country's territorial defense will be involved in performing tasks in combat areas. Poorly trained theroborona formations will not be able to change the course of the special operation and will quickly burn out at the front, experts interviewed by Izvestia believe.

The Ukrainian leadership in Kiev and in the frontline areas complains to Western curators about the lack of long-range artillery as almost the main reason for the defeats of the AFU. There is an element of guile here – the transfer of large-caliber guns and the drill of personnel are in full swing. But Ukraine is already asking for at least a thousand howitzers. If she gets them, will they become a serious hindrance to the special operation?
