Russia should start shooting down NATO drones and intelligence planes over the Black Sea to prevent or lessen these types of attacks.

But it seems that maintaining the conflict at this rate is not significantly harmful. Perhaps the Russian MIC should even benefit from additional orders and research into NATO systems data and approaches. Who knows.

Fighterbomber was the one who reported the precise losses mentioned in Status-6 tweet I believe.

As for the S-400, S-300, a well planned attack can overwhelm missile defenses. There are issues with BMD from what I understand. It’s not the primary role of the S-400.

Not from him, looking at his channel now.


Ukrainian tank repair center in Nikolaev got hit with missile strikes. This continues to deprive the AFU the ability to maintain, repair and restore tanks.

Rocket strikes on a Ukrainian Grad in the Kharkhiv region attributed to an S-300. This might be further tests for the missile's improved ground attack capability.

Ukrainian MLRS system, possibly Grad, gets taken out by Lancet near the Kharkhiv region. Russians seek revenge on every MLRS system that fired on Belgorod.

2S4 Tyulpan working on Staromayorsky which has been seeing Russian advances. The Tyulpan has been very popular as of late with the destructive power of its 240mm shells especially in combination with it's laser guided shell Smelchak.

Latest news, assault on Liptsy has already begun, Russians have taken the northern side, and reports of mass surrenders. This is another village where the Ukrainians love to fire stuff at Belgorod, and which a number of Ukrainian MLRS systems were taken out.

More unfinished defense lines than low quality. Nice looking prefab bunker there, but not installed.. No construction machinery either.

They were waiting for summer of they have begun a section for a photo shoot and stopped after it ? Who knows...

Lives are much more valuable resources than equipment and material and rubles. Each month the war drags on is thousands more Russians killed or wounded.

The defense budget is much bigger than I expected...
“Andrei Removich Belousov has been appointed the new Minister of Defense,” said the head of state, introducing the new minister.

“This is due not least to the fact that spending on the military component is growing. Let me remind you that in the mid-80s, the total spending of the Soviet Union on defense and security was approximately 13%. In 2024, this year, our total defense and security spending will be approximately 8.7%," Putin added.

Putting that number in purchasing parity power it’s possible to see how gargantuan the budget is.

This article from 2019 explain it well:

I like how PPP is used only prove that Russia and China spend more on defense than what people think. At the same time, they don't bother to use the same measurement for overall economic size. Classic fearmongering...

The article is clearly in fearmongering style, but personally I would like this to be more public for the Western World, specially for average Europeans.

Then maybe they would have more respect for Russia.

Basically the average european is trapped in his stupid laughable mindset of "Russia has less GDP than Italy", we don't have nothing to fear, lets arm Ukraine
