Pskov Is deep in Russian territory.
Either the drones are started within Russia, or NATO countries … I don’t believe personally that they flew through Belarus so far up from Ukraine.
2/
Airbase in Kresti was hit … not clear how successful.
But something happened.
3/
Presumably, two aircraft received damage.
In total, more than twenty drones participated in the attack.

Attack on the Pskov airfield. Atypical target selection. Just look at the map. This is a completely different direction compared to previous drone launches towards Moscow.
To send a swarm of drones there, you need to have a good reason. And serious intelligence provided by Kyiv's partners in NATO.
Given the growing technical capabilities of Ukraine, there will soon be no safe places in the European part of Russia. However, taking into account the agent network, not only in Europe.
We must proceed from this when organizing the security of military and strategic facilities.
After a lull in the airfield area, a new explosion thundered.
Governor of the Pskov region Mikhail Vedernikov: “I have personally been on the spot since the beginning of the incident. According to preliminary information, there are no victims. The scale of the destruction is being specified."

🇷🇺🇸🇾 Huge Russian military convoy drives from area Damascus towards Latakia, where the two main bases are.
Russia slowly withdrew from all bases within the country, keeping only Hmeimim airbase and Tartus Naval base. Other bases had the purpose to support Assad's army, what now I obviously obsolete.
Right now talks are held to keep these two bases as a hub for Russia's Africa operation.
🇸🇾🇺🇸🚨‼️ FAKEST FAKE: “Clarissa Ward and her CNN team find a prisoner still in Assad’s Air Force Intel HQ in Damascus.”
📋 This is what they want you to believe:
- 5 days after the compound was freed CNN walks in
- Everything is long cleaned out and all doors are opened, except one
- There is a dude under a blanket
- This guy does not talk nor signal anything for 5 days, even when people walk by
- They “shoot’s off the door lock” and he still does not stand up
- They walk in, turn on the light and talk in English, but he still does not stand up
- When the camera and everyone is ready, he stands up and instantly understands that they rescued him.
-> CNN saves the day, once again!
That’s so fake it’s embarrassing.

They try to feed him and show him the light outside. But his stomach can’t handle the food.
What luck CNN has, to find one last prisoner 5 days after the compound was freed.
CNN’s Clarissa has consistently luck with such situations. Kinda weird?

The Syrian Arab Army, in a statement, confirms it will withdraw all SAA units from Hama City, to 'avoid putting the lives of civilians at risk', and will continue the fight outside of the city
📝 Statement issued by the General Command of the Army and Armed Forces:
Over the past few days, our armed forces have fought fierce battles to repel and thwart the violent and successive attacks launched by terrorist organizations on the city of Hama from various axes and in huge numbers, using all means and military equipment, and with the help of immersion groups.
During the past hours, with the intensification of confrontations between our soldiers and terrorist groups and the rise of a number of martyrs among our forces, these groups were able to penetrate several axes in the city and enter it, despite suffering heavy losses in their ranks.
In order to preserve the lives of civilians in Hama and not to involve them in battles inside the cities, the military units stationed there redeployed and repositioned themselves outside the city.
The General Command of the Army and Armed Forces affirms that it will continue to carry out its national duty in reclaiming the areas entered by terrorist organizations.
