The M2 machine gun or Browning .50 caliber machine gun (informally, "Ma Deuce") is a heavy machine gun that was designed towards the end of World War I by John Browning. Its design is similar to Browning's earlier M1919 Browning machine gun.
[NYPOST] Ukrainian forces launched the most "massive" drone attack "in the history of the conflict" on the Kremlin’s fleet in Crimea, according to Russian officials, who said Saturday they would no longer participate in a United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... -brokered deal to ship grain and other products from Ukrainian ports in retaliation.
"Today at night, the most massive attack by UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and remote-controlled surface vehicles in the waters of the Sevastopol bay was undertaken," said Russia-installed Crimea governor Mikhael Razojaev of the late Friday attack in an interview with Russia’s TASS news agency.
The Russian navy had earlier repelled a drone attack in which all of the drones had been "shot down," he said on Telegram.
The late Friday attack — part of a major counteroffensive by Ukraine to regain territory annexed by Russia in the southern part of the country — caused minor damage to the Black Sea port fleet, which was involved in protecting convoys exporting grain from Ukraine, Razojaev said.
As a result of the attack, Russian officials said they had suspended participation in the deal to allow the secure export of grain and other agricultural products from Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, TASS reported Saturday.
Under the July agreement, Ukraine was able to restart its grain and fertilizer exports which were halted when Russia invaded the country on Feb. 24. The deal has seen more than nine million tons of grain exported from Ukraine and has brought down food prices around the world.

Several videos of the attack are out on the he www. Some got through and hit the Russian Fleet. Others did an abort when Russian helicopters started protecting the ships circling and firing on the Maritime Drones. One video from a Maritime Surface Drone showed it aborting it's mission due to heavy fire from a helicopter. It then headed back to port and as it passed close by a fishing boat the fishermen dove off their fishing boat into the sea thinking it was going to hit boat.

There. I knew you could.
I can say you really are a moron. We would have seen it if Russia had it. They are well past 50% usage of their strike stocks. Russia has failed to make the air safe for their strike aircraft and they have failed to destroy the Ukrainian air force.
If they could, they would have. They can't. Go away now Putie-puffer.

Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Chief, Major General Kyrylo Budanov, stated on October 24 that the impact of Russian terrorist strikes against critical Ukrainian infrastructure is waning as Russian forces further deplete their limited arsenal of cruise missiles.[7] Budanov stated that Russian forces have stopped targeting Ukraine’s military infrastructure, instead aiming for civilian infrastructure to incite panic and fear in Ukrainians. Budanov noted, however, that Russian forces will fail as Ukrainians are better adapted to strategic bombing than at the beginning of the war. Budanov claimed that Russian forces have used most of their cruise missile arsenal and only have 13 percent of their pre-war Iskander, 43 percent of Kaliber, and 45 percent of Kh-101 and Kh-555 pre-war stockpiles left, supporting ISW’s prior reports on dwindling Russian precision-guided munition stockpiles.[8] Budanov noted that Russian cruise missiles lack precision, as a missile likely intended to hit the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) building in Kyiv missed its target by 800 meters. Budanov stated that Russia’s dwindling supply of cruise missiles is forcing the Russian military to rely on Iranian drones but that Iranian suppliers only send 300 drones per shipment and that the drones take a long time to manufacture. Budanov stated that Ukrainian air defenses shoot down 70 percent of all Shahed-136 drones, including 222 of the 330 Russia has used so far. It is impossible to assess the degree to which ongoing unrest and growing strikes in Iran might interfere with Tehran’s ability to manufacture and ship drones to Russia.
The Russians have made enemies in every direction they look and need those remaining weapons if someone *cough China* decides to Special Military Operation the Russians. Worse for the Russians, they can't produce more precision weapons w/o importing/smuggling in the guidance components which have been cut off.
In the mean time the US and other western countries are doubling or more their production of precise and dumb munitions and shipping them to the Ukrainians.
Nope. Did IT for them but thanks to congress fucking with budgets for a decade and furloughs I refuse to work for the government ever again.
Militaries use their older stocks first in a conflict. Why I and multiple other agencies think the Russians are well under 50% stocks is the chips in the recent cruise missiles fired. They were built in 2019. Which means they were installed in the missile in late 2020 or in 2021. That missile still had a new car smell so to speak and the Russians are using it. With the sanctions, they ain't getting any more chips in which is why they are reaching out to other countries like Iran and North Korea for weapons.
Thanks for the additional numbers there Crereque Clusogum7898. That is newer than what I have seen.

We would like to believe Russian reports, but find it increasingly difficult to do so.
In 1940 the Luftwaffe made a long and serious effort to destroy the RAF, but at one point gave up and started aiming at civilian targets. This turned out to be a sign of weakness, of an inability to destroy the RAF.
The Russians have done the same thing, apparently showing similar weakness.
They have done so with seemingly inaccurate weapons and with massive drone attacks at infrastructure targets using foreign supplied drones.
Now they complain about massive drone attacks on military targets by Ukraine. They claim to have suffered only minor damage from it.
This could be all true, but if so, why would such minor damage cause them to cut off grain shipments, perhaps ultimately causing famine in Africa? This reaction again seems a sign of desperation.
Is the Russian Navy afraid that more larger attacks can destroy it entirely? If so they have found a perfect way to have that possibility tested in the near future.

I bet that every navy in the world (even including the Chinese) would love to test the effectiveness of their drone forces against the Russian navy at Sevastapol or even elsewhere. They may be lining up for the chance to do so, by supplying Ukraine and observing.

...test the effectiveness of their drone forces against the Russian navy at Sevastapol or even elsewhere. They may be lining up for the chance to do so, by supplying Ukraine and observing.
Guarantee that is what they are doing. Long tradition of giving your new stuff to a war overseas and seeing how it holds up. It has been proven the Russian SAMs can't stop HIMARs, and most of their other equipment is not even up to 1989 standards.
China based a lot of their military tech off that and while I think it is better than the Russian crap (except engines and the like. Russians make damn good engines just behind the Germans) I think their stuff will not perform well against the newer western stuff.
“How did we get here? Low wages, high inflation, record crime. Illegal immigration from places as far away as Pakistan. Our cities are a mess. Public services are a nightmare.
But instead of helping us, Joe Biden has sent $66 billion to Ukraine.
Weapons worth billions more. And now, Joe Biden says his fight in Ukraine could lead to nuclear Armageddon. World War III.
You know what I say? No mas.”

I love it that the ads are now airing in front of audiences for the biggest sports events before the election. World Series (9.7 million unique viewers), Ohio State-Penn State game (10 million estimated)…
These ads are driving the Left crazy. Look at the batshit crazy comments from the Woke idiots on Twitter where you can see the ad from yesterday:
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Korrespondent] 23:53 Biden called the Russian decision to withdraw from the grain agreement "outrageous": "It is completely outrageous, it will lead to increased hunger. There is no reason for them to act like this."
21:56 The "authorities" of the occupied Kherson region said that Ukrainian troops fired 12 HIMARS missiles at the Antonovsky bridge, three missiles hit the target.
21:47 Zelensky, in an evening video message, called Russia's statement about withdrawing from the grain export initiative "predictable": "In fact, this is not their decision today. Russia began deliberately aggravating the food crisis back in September, when it blocked the movement of ships with our food. From September to the present, 176 ships have accumulated in the grain corridor that cannot pass on their route.This is food for more than 7 million consumers.Some grain carriers have been waiting for more than three weeks.Algeria, Egypt, Yemen, Bangladesh, Vietnam “These and other countries may suffer from another aggravation of the food crisis, which Russia is deliberately provoking.”
The President stressed that a tough international response is now needed both at the UN level and at other levels, including at the G20 level.
20:28 Russia has officially notified UN Secretary General António Guterres of the suspension of participation in the grain deal. Russian media also report that Moscow has requested a meeting of the UN Security Council on Monday, October 31, in connection with the "attack by the Ukrainian military on Russian ships and civilian vessels."
19:54 The UN is in contact with the Russian authorities after reports that Moscow has stopped participating in the grain agreement, spokesman for the organization Stephane Dujarric said: "It is vital that all parties refrain from any action that could jeopardize the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which is a critical humanitarian effort with a clear positive impact on access to food for millions of people around the world."
19:01 Kuleba recalled that Ukraine warned about Moscow's intentions to disrupt the grain agreement, and called on the world to respond: "We warned about the plans of the Russian Federation to disrupt the Black Sea Grain Initiative. Now Moscow, under a far-fetched pretext, is blocking the grain corridor, which ensures the food security of millions of people. I urge everyone States to demand from the Russian Federation to stop the hunger games and return to their obligations.
18:43 Ukraine has not signed any grain agreements with the Russian Federation - the signatories are Russia, Turkey and the UN, Zelensky's speaker Serhiy Nikiforov said in a comment to Suspіlny. He recalled that Kyiv did not sign any agreements with Russia, because it understood that it almost never adheres to its obligations. Therefore, now we need to wait for the reaction of the signatories.
18:35 The Armed Forces of Ukraine have identified a group of pilots who will be sent for training on modern fighters, Air Force Speaker Yuri Ignat said. According to him, now Western partners must decide on the types of aircraft that they are ready to provide to Ukraine.
18:26 The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the grain agreement was suspended for an indefinite period, since the Russian side "can no longer guarantee the safety of civilian dry cargo ships."
17:58 Yermak called Russia's statement about withdrawing from the grain deal another blackmail: "The primitiveness of Russian blackmail in everything. Nuclear blackmail, energy, food ... Fiction about the "dirty bomb" that the whole world laughs at. Fictional terrorist attacks on their own facilities. ... Everything is too primitive and predictable. The agony of criminals who cannot understand that they will not achieve anything with infantile ultimatums. And that their time is coming to an end."
17:55 Moscow suspends participation in the implementation of the grain deal after the "terror attack" committed by the "Kyiv regime with the participation of British specialists" against ships of the Black Sea Fleet and civilian ships, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
17:47 The UK Ministry of Defense denied Russia's accusations of plotting terrorist attacks on Nord Stream: "To divert attention from its disastrous management of the illegal invasion of Ukraine, the Russian Ministry of Defense resorts to false statements of epic proportions. This fictional story says more about divisions within the Russian government than about the West."
17:25 Slovenia handed over to Ukraine 28 M-55S tanks, which are a modernized version of the Soviet T-55 tank. This is the second large batch of weapons that Slovenia has transferred to Ukraine, the 24UR TV channel reported. These tanks were in the reserve of the Slovenian army - only 30 pieces. Under an agreement with Germany, the Ministry of Defense of Slovenia will receive 35 heavy loaders and five heavy water tanks for tanks to form a medium battalion group.
16:43 The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow will draw the attention of the world community, including the UN Security Council, to "terrorist attacks" in the Black and Baltic Seas, "including Britain's involvement in them."
16:30 Alexander Lapin, who commanded the Russian group Center in the war against Ukraine, was removed from his post, Russian military correspondents write. Recently, Kadyrov criticized him, accused him of retreat and called him "a mediocrity."
16:12 Journalist Andrei Tsaplienko reports, citing sources in law enforcement agencies, that as a result of nighttime explosions in Sevastopol, at least three Russian Caliber carrier ships were damaged, including the frigate Admiral Makarov. There is a high probability that several ships were not just damaged, but sunk, the journalist noted.
15:17 Yermak announced another exchange of prisoners: 52 Ukrainians were released - officers, medics, sergeants and soldiers. In particular, among them are 12 NGU fighters, including Azov, 18 from the Navy, eight from the State Border Guard Service, nine from the Troops, three soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and two civilians. The defenders of Azovstal, the defenders of Mariupol and the people who saved lives are returning home.
The Ukrainian side managed to exchange the head of the surgical department of the Mariupol military hospital, who was at Azovstal, and the young military surgeon of the 65th military mobile hospital. A Marine also returned, whose wife had recently been released from captivity, a volunteer from Mariupol, a sailor from Zmeiny Island. Also, some military men taken prisoner in the Chernobyl zone are going home.
Pushilin, in turn, announced the exchange of prisoners with Ukraine according to the 50-50 formula. According to him, among those returned by Ukraine there are seven people from the "DPR", two from the "LPR".
14:09 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that nine UAVs and seven autonomous marine drones were involved in the attack of the "Kyiv regime" on Sevastopol. "Insignificant damage", according to Moscow, was received by the sea minesweeper Ivan Golubets, as well as the bonnet barrier in Yuzhnaya Bay.
The preparation of the "terrorist attack of the Kyiv regime" on Sevastopol was allegedly carried out "under the guidance of British specialists located in Ochakovo, Mykolaiv region." Representatives of the same British unit participated in the planning and implementation of terrorist attacks to undermine the Nord Streams, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
13:23 In the Kherson region, there are the most trained and combat-ready Russian units - airborne troops, special forces and marines. These units form the backbone of the group, which is also reinforced by mobilized ones, Major General Kirill Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, said in an interview with the American edition of The War Zone.
"The combat component, that is, units that can pose any danger to us, is about 40 thousand. Kherson is in the middle of this grouping. These are troops in Kherson, in the regions of the western bank of the Dnieper, as well as troops that are deployed on the eastern shore," Budanov said. In his opinion, the operation to liberate Kherson will last until the end of November.
11:55 The Kremlin discussed the possibility of a nuclear strike on Germany at the end of last year, Spiegel writes, citing radio interception data during military maneuvers in the Baltic Sea. Then three targets were identified: Berlin, the US air base in Ramstein and the Büchel air base, where nuclear weapons are stored. Also, according to the publication, "rumors have been circulating in Berlin for several months that Putin threatened Scholz with a nuclear strike over the phone. Scholz denies this, but everyone knows that he can be intimidated."
11:14 Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said that a large exchange "all for all" does not suit Russia yet, but the Ukrainian authorities are working on this issue.
10:41 For the first time in a long time, the Russians took their military equipment from the airfield in Chernobaevka - this is evidenced by satellite images of the SATELLOGIC company, published by military blogger Tim Earhart. The images from October 27 show that almost all vehicles have been withdrawn, and traces of the removed equipment are visible.
10:17 Ukrainian grain saved about 100 million people from extreme poverty, said the representative of the UN Secretary General Stefan Dujarric. According to him, the resumption of food exports from Ukraine had a great impact on the decline in prices for wheat and other products. He expressed hope that the agreement would be extended.
10:14 "Governor" of Sevastopol Mikhail Razvozhaev claims that air defense systems repelled drone attacks for several hours, all enemy UAVs were shot down, and a surface drone was also destroyed.
09:37 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of October 29.

09:34 Over the past day, the enemy fired at the settlements of Chuguevsky, Kharkov and Kupyansky districts of the Kharkov region. Three people were injured in the Kupyansky district, Oleg Sinegubov, the head of the regional police department, said.
09:32 In the Donetsk region over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, three civilians were killed - two in Kurdyumovka and one in Severny. Also yesterday it became known about eight wounded, said the head of the OVA Pavel Kirilenko.
09:27 Today and tomorrow, a controlled seizure and destruction of several munitions from the Second World War will take place in the Odesa and Bolgrad districts of the Odesa region, OVA speaker Serhiy Bratchuk warned.
09:19 Russians at night once again fired at three communities of the Dnepropetrovsk region - Nikopol, Marganets and Mirovska. Nikopol suffered the most, one person was wounded there, said the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko.
08:25 Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces repelled the attacks of the invaders in the areas of the settlements of Vodiane, Kamenka and Nevelskoye of the Donetsk region, the General Staff said in the morning report .
As a result of pinpoint strikes by units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine in the area of the village of Mayorsk, about 300 invaders were destroyed the day before, preparing for the next attack. About 60 more lightly wounded were delivered the next day to medical institutions in Gorlovka. In the village of Krasnopopovka, Luhansk region, up to 20 enemy servicemen were killed, and about 30 invaders were injured of varying severity.
07:12 "Governor" of Sevastopol Mikhail Razvozhaev said that the ships of the Black Sea Fleet are repelling an UAV attack in the waters of the Sevastopol Bay, "the situation is under control." The raid in Sevastopol is temporarily blocked, ferries and boats do not go through the bay, the Russian media specified, citing local authorities.
06:23 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that Russian troops are falsifying claims of progress in the Bakhmut region, pretending to have succeeded in at least one sector amid prolonged losses in northeast and south Ukraine. According to analysts, this should improve the morale of the Russian troops and the personal condition of Prigozhin.
According to ISW, the occupiers made a limited advance towards the Ukrainian stronghold in Bakhmut, but at a very slow pace and with heavy losses. Prigozhin acknowledged the slow pace of the group's ground operations around Bakhmut on 23 October and stated that Wagner's forces were advancing only 100-200 meters a day. The statements of the Russians are actually exaggerated.
01:44 The Ukrainian military is already undergoing training under the NASAMS air defense systems training program, which will be completed in the near future, after which the systems will be transferred to Ukraine , Deputy Speaker Sabrina Singh said at a briefing at the Pentagon.
00:10 Zaluzhny, in a telephone conversation with the head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, said that "despite the absolute fire advantage, an increase in the number of troops and, accordingly, attacks due to including those mobilized, the enemy is not successful. Thanks to courage and Due to the professionalism of Ukrainian soldiers and officers, our borders remain unchanged, and the defense operation is being carried out successfully in accordance with the plan."

Summary of the wargonzo project with reference to the battalion commander BARS-13 "Fomich":
In the Kremennaya area, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to try to break through our defenses, looking for weaknesses in it. The enemy is acting according to the standard scheme.
First, our positions are subjected to artillery fire, after which the enemy infantry attacks them with the support of tanks and armored combat vehicles. Enemy forces are accumulating for an attack at a distance of about 1.5 to two kilometers from our positions passing west of the Kremennaya-Svatovo highway (that is, about three to four kilometers from the highway itself).
Thus, the attacking units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are operating along the entire defense line of Zhitlovka-Peschanoe-Krasnopopovka, as well as from the direction of Torskoye to Dibrovka with the obvious intention of breaking through our defenses north and south of Kremennaya.

Not in the forehead, but from the north. In the direction of Sandy and Zhitlovka. There is no large forest area that slows down the movement. But there is Russian artillery fire. The purpose of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is to cut a section of the R-66 highway. But a little to the south, Russian troops attacked in the Belogorovka area. This is the Lugansk region.
It is deep autumn outside, but it is very hot near Soledar. To the northeast, Wagner PMCs are storming Yakovlevka. This is an important town. The price is a brocade on the operational sector of the front. Russian artillery is operating in the city itself. Ground fighting in the southeastern outskirts. PMC "Wagner" is also storming Bakhmutskoe. And artillery hits Bakhmut himself. On the ground again attack from the southeast from Ivangrad.
North of Gorlovka, Russian troops were advancing on Kurdyumovka and the Mayorskaya railway station.
On the Donetsk front, Russian troops are moving towards Pervomaisky along a section of the M-04 highway. It's hard to say about success. But to the south, to Nevelskoye, they advanced. Artillery worked in the fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Krasnogrovka and Marinka. The last of the listed settlements was attacked on the ground.

Because of this, the battle formations of the counterattacks fell.
Units of the 54th brigade, having suffered serious losses, returned to their original area.
Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
Lapin wrote a report on his resignation of his own free will and is currently awaiting a decision from the command on this report
The activities of the military commander as commander of the Center group were harshly criticized by the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, stating that it was he who was responsible for the breakthrough of the Ukrainian army in the area of the settlements of Terny, Torskoye and Yampolovka.
He published the last post criticizing the general in his Telegram channel on October 27. Perhaps the method of conveying information that Ramzan Kadyrov chose is too radical, but, apparently, he had no other choice, he exhausted all other methods.
I won’t say which general Lapin is good or bad (it’s not for nothing that the military correspondents stuck in for him, without denying him courage and the fact that he leads the troops almost from the trenches), this is not my competence as a couch warrior. Here, probably, questions, both organizational, both strategic and tactical in terms of the situation, should be asked more to the General Staff itself with Gerasimov than to this, I am sure, worthy commander. But in the Krasnolimansky, Kupyansky, Svatovsky direction, something obviously bad was clearly going on. Perhaps the general needs to rest and rethink the moments, we are all humans, not robots.
The rotation of commanders was necessary even in the Great Patriotic War. In the end, Eremenko, Konev (they even wanted to court him), Timoshenko and other generals, at one time, after major mistakes in the initial period of the war, were able to become worthy commanders. During the Second World War, Malinovsky and Tolbukhin were demoted. But all of them were commanders of the piece level and became marshals.
So Lapin, perhaps after a rest, should be entrusted with a smaller and less responsible sector, so that after setting up and organizing the command structure with new forces and SUCCESSFULLY be one of the commanders of the NWO. In order not to run around the trenches yourself, while there is no control in other directions. The place of the general at the tactical table, with trips to the trenches, and not in the trenches, with rare trips to the tactical table :)
Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
Let me remind you that early this morning an attempt was made to attack ships of the Black Sea Fleet and civilian ships involved, among other things, in ensuring the security of the grain corridor. It was a joint action of the Ukrainians and the Britons (the latter, thus, become direct participants in the conflict with Ukraine, with all the consequences for the Britons). But Sevastopol turned out to be too tough for Ukraine and NATO.
I don't know why Moscow thought for so long, or even agreed to this deal. Profit from it received only the West. Russia: NOTHING. And that it would be so - it was clear IMMEDIATELY. But for some reason not in the Kremlin. There was nothing to go on this "deal," but better late than nobody. In the end, if the Europeans have nothing to eat in Europe, let them go to eat in Ukraine.
Now let's see the howl of the Anglo-Saxon litter next week on "SP" and on grain.
P.S.
At least for once, the Russian Defense Ministry begins to deliver information in a timely manner, without leaving an empty field for the enemy and not allowing him to fill the vacuum with his fake information.
Even the attack on the ships of the Ukrainians with the Britons was clearly deliberately carried out on Saturday morning, so that by Monday, when the information workers of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation would wake up (as it happened before), the topic would become won back, not relevant, but promptly filled in by Ukrainian information workers.
But it didn't work out that way. This means that even in such an inertial colossus as the RF Ministry of Defense, something has finally begun to change. And this, frankly, pleases. Moreover, inertia, when it is dispersed and directed in the right direction, is not such a bad thing. Do you agree?

...Frankly, shutting off the grain deal was a decision waiting on a suitable excuse.

[Lenta] Deputy Ostanina predicted the closure of gay clubs in Russia due to the law on LGBT propaganda
If the bill banning LGBT propaganda and pedophilia is passed, all gay clubs operating in Russia will be closed. Nina Ostanina , the co-author of the initiative, the chairman of the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children , spoke about the fate of these institutions in a conversation with Lenta.ru .
Will these clubs exist? No, they will not...
Nina Ostanina
State Duma deputy
"Already by their existence, gay clubs are nothing but propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations, but we also understand this. Let people who prefer same-sex relationships do not do it en masse in comfortable gay clubs that attract attention. Let them do it at home in the bedroom, that's fine. No one is going to catch gays, forbid them to engage in the pleasures that they allow themselves," the deputy said.
According to her, "non-traditional people cannot be equated with traditional people."
"The question is that it is forbidden to promote this whole way of life, to impose it, thereby creating, perhaps, the wrong idea that same-sex love has the same right to exist as marriage between a man and a woman," concluded Nina Ostanina.
On October 27, the State Duma adopted in the first reading a law that provides for administrative liability for propaganda of LGBT relations, pedophilia and gender reassignment. Information about this will be prohibited from disseminating in the media, the Internet, books, audiovisual services, cinema and advertising.
For such propaganda , it is proposed to introduce liability in the form of fines or suspension of activities for legal entities.

Kyiv regime with the participation of British experts of a terrorist act against ships of the Black Sea Fleet and civilian ships involved in ensuring the security of the "grain corridor", the Russian side suspends participation in the implementation of agreements on the export of agricultural products from Ukrainian ports.
All in all, great news.
After the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge, Ukraine lost more than a third of its distribution and generating capacities.
After the drone attack on Sevastopol, Russia has every opportunity to completely close the export of any product from Ukraine by sea.
Retribution should be as heavy and painful as possible. We are waiting for strikes on the Odessa seaport.
In the course of repelling an attack on the outer roadstead of Sevastopol, the Black Sea Fleet destroyed four naval drones, three more were destroyed on the inner roadstead.
The sea minesweeper "Ivan Golubets", as well as the bonnet barrier in Yuzhnaya Bay, received minor damage. The attacked ships are involved in ensuring the security of the "grain corridor" as part of the export of agricultural products from Ukrainian ports.
The preparation of the drone attack on Sevastopol and the training of the military personnel of the Ukrainian 73rd Special Center for Maritime Operations was carried out under the guidance of British specialists located in Ochakov, Mykolaiv region.
According to available information, representatives of the same unit of the British Navy participated in the planning, provision and implementation of the terrorist attack in the Baltic Sea on September 26 of this year. to undermine the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, the Defense Ministry said.
PS. It is also worth noting that the photos with smoke that illustrated the attack on Sevastopol were the result of the exercises of the marines https://t.me/boris_rozhin/68685 .
