#Otd 80 years ago, Soviets deported entire Crimean Tatar population to Central Asia

The hushed-up Soviet crime is one that Russia continues spinning in its ongoing occupation of Crimea & one Ukraine insists is genocide. Here are 10 things you should know euromaidanpress.com/2024/05/18/ten…
Image
1/Crimean Tatars are the indigenous people of Crimea, with a history on the peninsula spanning over 1,000 years.

Before Russian annexation in 1783, their population in the Crimean Khanate exceeded 5 million. By 1917, it had dropped to around 200,000 - result of Russian policies Image
2/ The Soviet NKVD deported around 200,000 Crimean Tatars to Central Asia in just 3 days from May 18-20, 1944.

Families had only 30 minutes to gather belongings before being crammed into cattle wagons. 8,000 died during the arduous journey. Image

Ukraine's battle against Russia holds the key to dismantling a global "axis of evil," warns 🇺🇦 defense expert Mykhailo Samus.

A covert war unfolds, with China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran supporting each other to challenge US influence worldwide (1/4)

euromaidanpress.com/2024/05/06/ukr…
North Korea, acting as China's proxy, aids Russia against Ukraine to undermine US influence in Europe. "In exchange, Russia provides North Korea with technologies, evident from their missile developments and recent tests, which are obviously linked to Russia," says Samus. (2/4)
Iran, aligned with China and Russia, challenges US Mideast dominance. Samus believes Russia aids Iran's missile and nuclear programs, saying, "Progressing Iran's capabilities from the 1950s to modern levels is difficult and costly without external support." (3/4)

Russia used its new Kh-69 cruise missiles, deemed "worse than Kinzhal," to destroy the Trypilska power plant on 11 April, Defense Express writes

Why are they so dangerous? 🧵
euromaidanpress.com/2024/04/12/rus…
Despite being subsonic and carrying a smaller warhead than the "hypersonic" Kh-47M2 "Kinzhal," the Kh-69, first of all, was able to penetrate Ukraine's weakened air defense.

Second, it can be launched from small tactical-class aircraft such as the Su-34 👇 Image
While hitherto, the takeoff of long-range strategic bombers such as the pictured Tu-95MS was a telltale sign of large-scale, long-range missile attacks with Kinzhal or Kh-101 missiles, the Kh-69 can be launched from the more numerous, smaller jets from closer to the frontline 👇 Image
