The life of a visiting rashist who managed to carry his feet from the Luhansk region is short and unsightly.

According to her, the mentioned software will allow achieving full interoperability with partners and provides Ukraine with access to NATO's "military Wi-Fi", which provides control of Western aircraft and Western-made integrated air and missile defense systems.

"Ukrainian and NATO aircraft will be coordinated in a single digital system. I have signed a license agreement for the use of NATO's non-commercial software - the Control and Warning Center System Interface (CRC System Interface, CSI)," Chernogorenko wrote on her Facebook profile.Image

No more than five years: when would #Ukraine️ be able to create its own nuclear weapons and what is missing

After russia's demonstrative rejection of the ceasefire course, which was replaced by intensified missile attacks, Ukrainian society once again began to talk about the need to reproduce its own nuclear weapons. So that the adversary would not be tempted.

In English, two verbs are used to express the possibility of doing something – "can" and "may". The first is a physical possibility. The second is a moral possibility: is it possible?

With the second option regarding nuclear weapons, it seems to have been clear for a long time – no, adult countries will not allow us, we signed a treaty, they will impose sanctions on us, declare us a rogue country, etc.

But how are things going with physical capabilities? If we put aside the moralizing of countries that were supposed to guarantee our security but didn't, if we sit down and get down to business, will we be able to?

Does Ukraine have the potential to restore its own nuclear fuel cycle in the coming years (which provides an excellent opportunity for creating nuclear weapons)?Image

Ukraine has a quarter of nuclear specialists in all of Europe

Despite the fact that we finally got rid of the nuclear weapons that Ukraine inherited from the Soviet Union in June 1996 (in accordance with the ill-fated Budapest Agreements), the possibility of creating our own nuclear weapons remained until the end of 2010.

The Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology (where, incidentally, the atomic nucleus was split for the first time in the world in 1932) contained about 120 kilograms of highly enriched uranium. This uranium-235, with an enrichment level of 90%, was used for research and development, but it is worth noting that this isotope was used in the "Malyuk" bomb during the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima. Nowadays, weapons-grade plutonium is used in the creation of nuclear weapons, but uranium-235 is fine, too.

"But Yanukovych transferred this nuclear fuel to Russia. Moreover, according to the agreement, the highly enriched uranium was supposed to be exported by April 2012, and it was all exported by December 2010," Olha Kosharna, an expert on nuclear energy and nuclear safety"

In short, the main obstacle to Ukraine creating its own nuclear weapons is the lack of weapons-grade nuclear fuel and equipment for its production.

"The thing is that the entire industrial base for enriching uranium and creating weapons-grade plutonium – special reactors, centrifuges, etc. – remained in Russia. We dealt with nuclear weapons issues purely theoretically," Serhiy Barbashev, professor at the Department of Nuclear Power Plants at the Odesa Polytechnic National University

By the way, in terms of specialists in the field of nuclear energy, Ukraine is currently one of the first places, if not in the world, then in Europe.

"The Ukrainian nuclear society has over 3 thousand people, considering that in total there are 14 thousand specialists in the European Nuclear Society.

- That is, you understand that Ukrainian scientists make a very large contribution. We are a powerful nuclear state, our partners have something to learn from us," - says OBOZ.UA the director of the educational and scientific institute "Physical and Technical Faculty" of the Karazin KhNU Pylyp Kuznetsov.

Fiber optic drones could play decisive role in Russia’s summer offensive

By David Kirichenko
@DVKirichenko

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion more than three years ago, the war in Ukraine has been shaped by a technological arms race as both countries have struggled to achieve an innovative edge on the battlefield. While Ukraine’s dynamic tech sector and less cumbersome bureaucracy initially gave it the advantage, Russia may now be gaining the upper hand.

The weapon that is turning the tide in Russia’s favor is the rather humble-looking fiber optic drone. This variation on the first-person view (FPV) drones that have dominated the skies above the battlefield since 2022 may appear inconspicuous at first glance, but it is having a major impact on the front lines of the war and is expected to play a crucial role in Russia’s unfolding summer offensive.

As the name suggests, fiber optic drones are controlled by wire-thin cables linked to operators.

Crucially, this makes them immune to the jamming systems that have become near-ubiquitous in the Russian and Ukrainian armies due to the rapid evolution of drone warfare. Thanks to their data-transporting cables, fiber optic drones benefit from improved video quality and can also operate at lower altitudes than their wireless counterparts, but it is their invulnerability to electronic jamming that makes them such a potentially game-changing weapon.
3/
There are some drawbacks to this kind of drone. Key problems include limited range and a tendency to become entangled in obstacles such as trees and pylons. Nevertheless, there is mounting recognition on both sides of the front lines and among international military observers that fiber optic drones are now indispensable. In a recent report, -

Hysteria on the Internet about the arrival of a large number of Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 bombers at Engels: an expert explained whether there is a threat of an "apocalypse"

Several OSINT communities are reporting that the Russian Federation has transferred 40 Tu-22M3 bombers and 20% of its strategic Tu-95MS to the Olenya airbase, and it is noted that this is a "record number of missile carriers" that have appeared there in just the last two weeks. And eight Il-76 aircraft have already landed at the Engels-2 base in four days - allegedly "there has not been such activity there for three years."

However, Ukrainians should not panic because of these "records". The apocalypse is not yet near, assures the leading expert of the Ukrainian Center for Security Studies

- Named after Tymchuk, a columnist for the "Information Resistance" group, and the well-known "evil Odessan" Oleksandr Kovalenko.

Yes, the above figures regarding the Engels-2 airbase are confirmed. However, are they "record"?

Yes, the above figures regarding the Engels-2 airbase are confirmed. However, are they "record"?

"One transport Il-76 is capable of transporting up to 8 Kh-101 cruise missiles. So in 4 days, a maximum of 64 Kh-101 missiles were delivered to the airbase, if, of course, they were the main cargo for transportation," Kovalenko notes.

The expert recalls the recent massive air attacks that Ukraine experienced on May 25 and 26.

"55 Kh-101 missiles on May 25th and 9 Kh-101 missiles on May 26th. In total, 64 Kh-101 missiles were used by Russian aviation in 48 hours. And this needs to be compensated for, replenished in order to ensure another strike," explains Kovalenko.Image

That is, the phrase "this has never happened before" is just an attempt to catch the hype on a panic, " some record number of missiles were not delivered to the Engels-2 airbase ," the expert claims.

"Evil Odessan" blames some Ukrainian information resources for spreading such hype, which "have mostly turned into the generation of thoughtless shock content."

Experts from Defense Express hold a similar opinion.Image

Russian attacks have become more widespread, and drones have become more deadly: Seleznev explained how to deal with the new threat and why the two-wall rule no longer works

The latest series of massive missile and drone attacks
obozrevatel.com/ukr/topic/ross…
by the aggressor country russia was distinguished by a large number of launched drones - over 300, and, as always, was combined.

The enemy used drones that carry a larger than usual warhead - 90 kg instead of 50 kg. For this reason, from now on the "two-wall rule" may not work, and bomb shelters with shelters become the only truly safe place in case of new enemy attacks.
3/
Missiles were launched at Ukraine from Tu-95MS aircraft that took off from the #Murmansk region, as well as from carrier ships in the Black Sea.

Destroying enemy aircraft at such a long distance is a practically impossible task, and eliminating launchers at sea is complicated by the enemy's new tactics, which block mobile communications in Crimea and on the coast.

The situation for Ukraine is becoming more difficult, but not hopeless. Mobile fire groups that destroy drones show 95% efficiency. If their number is increased, this percentage will increase. Ukraine must also continue to work on strengthening its air defense - both with its own means and with the help of allies.

This opinion was expressed by military expert Vladislav Seleznyov in an exclusive interviewImage

On the night of May 24-25, russia launched its largest combined
obozrevatel.com/ukr/topic/ross…
drone and missile strike on #Ukraine since the beginning of the year, resulting in destruction and casualties.

In this way, the Kremlin, against the backdrop of its own aggressive rhetorical statements and excessive US pessimism about the situation on the front lines, is trying to undermine the morale of Ukrainians and convince the West of the inevitability of "Russia's victory" and the futility of supporting Kyiv.

In addition, the aggressor country is determined to use large-scale strikes and increasingly aggressive political statements to divert attention from the poor performance of russian troops in the current phase of the war, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
understandingwar.org/backgrounder/r…

"Currently, russian officials are 'filling' the information space with calls for Ukraine to 'make concessions' on issues of sovereignty and territorial integrity, although most of these statements correspond to the long-standing demands of the Russian Federation for the war and actually demonstrate that they have not changed over the past three years of the war," the summary states.
