White is black and black is white in Russia.

Mariupol was cleared of rubble, in Russia they named the goal of NATO. The main thing by the evening of April 27
Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to involve the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross in the evacuation of civilians from Azovstal. Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev revealed the only goal of NATO in Ukraine. URA.RU brings the main news about the special operation in Ukraine by the evening of April 27.
  • Vladimir Putin agreed to involve the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross in the evacuation of civilians from Azovstal. The Secretary General of the organization, Antoniy Guterres, and Putin discussed the possibility of delivering humanitarian aid and evacuating civilians from dangerous zones in Ukraine.
  • The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the Kiev regime does not want to release people who are at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol. She believes that Kyiv wants to delay their stay there as much as possible in order to attract the attention of the world community.
  • The People's Militia of the DPR stated that Mariupol is returning to peaceful life , almost all the streets of the city have been cleared of debris.
  • NATO is trying to push Kyiv into an armed conflict with Moscow by resolving the situation in the Donbas by force.
  • Putin said that if one of the countries wants to intervene in the situation in Ukraine, then Moscow's strikes will be lightning fast.
  • Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft hit 38 Ukrainian military facilities, including S-300s in the Nikolaevka area. The military also destroyed over 210 nationalists and 43 armored vehicles and vehicles.
  • The Ukrainian Armed Forces fired four shells with a caliber of 152 mm at Pervomaisk in the LPR. The mother of four children died in the attack, Channel Five reports .
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special operation on the territory of Ukraine on February 24. As the head of state stated, its main goals are denazification and demilitarization, and not the occupation of the territory. In addition, Russia, according to him, wants to protect the DPR and LPR from shelling by Ukrainian nationalists and the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Putin proved to the UN Secretary General the global threat of Nazism from Ukraine
He cited facts that are already enough for an international military tribunal
Russian President Vladimir Putin proved to UN Secretary General António Guterres at a meeting on April 26 the threat of Nazism coming from Ukraine, according to experts interviewed by URA.RU. He substantiated the background of the Ukrainian conflict, his decision to conduct a special operation and provided evidence of the crimes of the nationalists. The result of this meeting, according to political scientists, may be that the UN will lead the process of organizing an international tribunal.

Welcoming the UN Secretary General, Putin stressed that Russia has recognized and continues to recognize the importance of this international organization. “The UN is unique in its kind: there is no other organization like it in the international community. We support the principles on which it is based, and we intend to do so in the future,” the Russian leader said, adding that those who are hindered by it call the UN obsolete.

The main topic of conversation, as expected, concerned the situation in Ukraine. Putin explained in detail to Guterres why Russia was forced to launch a special operation. He stressed that the conflict arose back in 2014, after the coup. From that moment on, the inhabitants of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR) were under military pressure from Kyiv, and "in the West they preferred not to notice this," the president noted. Putin also recalled that Kyiv "through the mouths of the first persons" has repeatedly made it clear that it is not going to comply with the "Minsk agreements".

“In order to stop the genocide of people who live in Donbass, we were forced to recognize the LPR and DPR as independent and independent states. The leadership of the republics requested military assistance from Russia because of the aggression of Kyiv. I repeat: [special operation] is a necessary measure to end the suffering of the people who live in these territories,” Putin said.

The president especially focused on humanitarian issues. He stressed that Russia has evacuated 140,000 residents from Mariupol, where hostilities have ceased, and is helping those remaining in the city to return to civilian life. The radicals who settled on Azovstal were repeatedly asked to surrender, to release civilians, if they really are there, but this does not happen. This means that they “act like ISIS” (a terrorist organization banned in Russia), Putin noted.

Guterres, who a year ago congratulated the Russian president on Victory Day and emphasized the key role of the USSR in the destruction of Nazism, retorted: the territorial integrity of another state has been violated. And this, according to him, does not comply with the UN Charter. “We believe that there has been an invasion of the territory of Ukraine,” the Secretary General insisted.

In response to these accusations, Putin recalled the Kosovo precedent. “I read the decision of the court on Kosovo, which says that when exercising the right to self-determination, this or that territory of any state is not obliged to apply for permission to declare its sovereignty to the central authorities of the country. This was supported by everyone. If so, then the republics of the DPR and LPR have the same right to declare their sovereignty, because the precedent has been created. Do you agree with this? Putin asked the UN Secretary General.

Guteres replied that the UN does not recognize Kosovo. “The court recognized,” the Russian leader interrupted him. Consequently, the president stressed, there is no violation of international law and an encroachment on the integrity of another state in the actions of Russia, which recognized the sovereignty of the LPR and DPR.

On the eve of the meeting with Guterres at a meeting of the board of the Prosecutor General's Office on April 25, Putin instructed to collect evidence about the crimes of neo-Nazis in Ukraine. It will also be used in courts at the international level. We are talking about the massacres of civilians in the Donbass: this is the “Point U” strike on the center of Donetsk and the train station in Kramatorsk , and the explosion of the Mariupol Drama Theater, where there were about 200 people, and the use of people as a “human shield”, and other facts. In addition, the Ukrainian authorities constantly spread fakes about the Russian military: a provocation in the city of Bucha, shelling of a maternity hospital in Mariupol, and others.

The idea of an international tribunal for Nazis and war criminals in Ukraine is beginning to take shape, says Alexei Mukhin, director general of the Center for Political Information. “I think Guterres will be asked to have the UN lead this process,” Mukhin added.

Russia has a very large invoice for the crimes of the Kyiv regime in Ukraine, confirmed the director of the Center for Social and Political Studies Vladimir Evseev. And these facts had to be conveyed to the UN Secretary General.

The UN Secretary General does not fully believe that neo-Nazis operate in Ukraine, and considers them patriots of the country, explained the head of the Department of Political Science and Sociology of the Russian University of Economics. G.V. Plekhanov, reserve colonel Andrey Koshkin. “Ukraine was preparing to ‘cut out’ Donbass. Russia preempted these terrible events. Putin at the meeting could illustrate all this and show the underlying mechanisms of the conflict - the fact that everything that happens was spun from Washington. The President revealed the mechanism of the crisis, which the United States is forcing, and proposed mechanisms for the UN to work on Ukraine,” Koshkin concluded.
and the BS keeps coming........lol

Too bad they are cut off from high tech and microchips, they can't make many of these glorified RC planes without them, unless they use off the shelf stuff from China and much of the electronics is licensed from the west. A cheap drone killer drone similar to a switchblade can deal with them, it could even be tube launched to high altitude by a small rocket motor to get to the recon drones. One detected and locked on, it would be like firing a cheap low speed SAM at the enemy recon or killer drone.

Left, his look is to suck in right wingers and good ole boys and is partly contrived, but mostly real, he speaks from his "man cave", where his target audience spends a lot of their time. He offers intelligent informed commentary and supports liberal democracy, they should give him a segment on the evening TV news.
Oh cuz, that right wing stuff had me wondering what the F?

I was thinking, to greatly extend the range of a switchblade all you would have to do is put a small rocket motor on the bottom of the lunch tube and some stabilizing fins and a nose cone over the front of the tube (a new design). It could be fired unguided for miles in the general area of the target, then the missile would slow with aerobraking and eject the drone miles from the launch point but still miles short of the target. It might be a way to greatly extend the range or altitude of these drones when launched from a vehicle or even aircraft.

If true, this would make them sitting ducks for Ukrainian anti-ship missiles including the harpoons they have been receiving. If they are gathering around the Moscow to salvage something, it must be valuable. As far as I know the Moscow was with in missile range when it sank and Ukraine recently attacked Russian positions on Snake island with missiles.

he's prolly trying to get the weapon systems off it, and salvage the missles there and stuff......

How about just a bigger battery?

We already know faces of occupiers: Ukrainian cyber front is a new battlefield against Russia


Dozens of murderers and rapists who terrorized residents in Bucha and Irpin have been found thanks to the developments of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine. In a short time, the Ministry of Digital Transformation identifies all the information about these war criminals: their profiles in social networks, where and with whom they serve and live. To learn more about how Ukraine's IT army is bringing our country closer to victory - watch the story.

There is a point of diminishing returns with larger batteries, especially with smaller craft. An AA version could could get a killer drone up to say 20,000 feet in a minute on an intercept course and release it at apogee with a full battery. Say they want to make special rockets for and MLRS that can kill parked tanks even further than the 44km of a switchblade 600. Using a ballistic missile that has braking grid fins to slow it down to say 2 or 300km/hr for drone ejection. The missile need not be guided or even make it to the target

An American company is allowing the Ukrainians to use their facial recognition software to identify the Russian soldiers.

300 km/h? I thought you did RC planes. A Switchblade folded wing design is not going to like it. Maybe with some work they can get a system like that working but the war is being fought today. There is a penalty with the added weight, the plane has to fly a little faster which uses up more energy due to drag. But you go to war with the army you have. A 600 with a bigger battery and a warhead of a 300 could be flying without any fuss from the manufacturer.

Or a better battery, it need not be rechargeable! I was thinking of a new design or several a cheap drone AA defense for a light vehicle of a couple of different types depending on the altitude. Getting a drone up to 20K feet will eat up a lot of battery and take a lot of time and the tube containing the drone can be the rocket body, once burnout is achieved it can be slowed quickly with a deployed grid fin like arrangement an aerobrake. If designed for it, a 300 km/ speed is not unreasonable, however the rocket body could be slowed to an appropriate speed I believe.

Not something for this war for sure, but that tracked switchblade launcher I posted earlier fires 50 of them and some of them could be configured for anti drone use. I think for these kinds of specialized uses we might see a doubling or tripling of battery storage capacity in a few years. They would be cheaper with a longer reach than stingers, if used against slow low and high altitude drones. It would be part of an larger system that would include detection and tracking of targets. As I said something for the future.

I expect they will come down even harder on the RC and drone community with laws and regulations after this. The laws are driving many out of the hobby and are designed to limit participation IMHO. Under 250 grams requires no license though and they are doing amazing things in the sub 250 area these days. Soon we will need ID in the sky where someone can just point a cellphone at yer drone. Even if you are legal it will still be a major pain in the ass and the way the laws are written yer always gonna be doing something wrong! The technology is empowering and becoming more so, that means it's also becoming dangerous.

First off, these are not designed to come back home so rechargeable is not needed. A non-rechargable packs a little more power in the same size. Why do you need to get the drone up to 20,000 feet? Now rather than a backpack ordinance you are strapping on a rocket. And one with weird fins that needs an actuator.
