The Pentagon published video of the Russian Su-27 attacking the

American MQ-9 Reaper drone in the Black Sea.

Fuel dumping before the strike and then the strike itself.

Note how the drone's propeller looks at the beginning and end of the video.

"Turkey is considering allowing U.S. forces to enter the Bosphorus Strait

to retrieve the crashed drone," the head of the Turkish defense ministry said.

The Ukrainian side has already reported that in the Black Sea there is atypical

activity of the Russian fleet - 20 ships have been put on combat duty,

as well as a number of auxiliary ships, all of them are dispersed in a large area.

Obviously, this is due to attempts to locate the wreckage of the American drone MQ-9 Reaper.

At the same time, Russia's FSB director and Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev

said that Russia will try to retrieve the remains of the American drone that fell in the Black Sea.

Note the attempt, not the retrieval. Of course I understand that with the help of Iran or China,

they will want to try to get used to modern technology and they need sources.

But as usual, there is a nuance.

The director of the FSB accidentally can not specify why Russia could not get the bodies of

the crew of the nuclear submarine "Kursk" before they were chewed up by local sea creatures?

I would also like to understand why the crew of the missile cruiser "Moscow" has not been

raised in its entirety from the bottom of the Black Sea and given to their parents for burial?

Oh, yes! The Secretary of the Security Council of Russia does not know that Russia has no means

to conduct deep-sea operations! Let me remind you, the Kursk sank at a depth of 108 meters,

and the MQ-9 Reaper sank at a depth of up to 2 kilometers.

But let's return from the sea to the ground.

The head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, confirmed that

the Russian armed forces are losing hundreds of soldiers every day in mindless meat waves.

The occupiers have problems with logistics, supplies, personnel motivation, capable

commanders, and coordination, while the Ukrainian Armed Forces exacerbate them by continuing to

strike supply lines and command posts. At the same time, the Ukrainian defense in Bakhmut is

reliable, and the occupiers are only given small tactical advances at the cost of huge losses.

Ukraine's partner countries praise the coordination of Ukrainian artillery,

which they call Killnet. According to statistics, it is the artillery and rocket-artillery units of

the AFU that inflict 80% of losses on the enemy, their high efficiency, accuracy and range allows

for successful infantry offensives, as well as a significant advantage in counter-battery fighting.

British intelligence provided an assessment of the defeat of the Russian offensive.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces actively used long-range mine shells, which allowed them

to create anti-tank minefields at distances of up to 17 kilometers. Often, these shells were

used to mine areas not only in front of the advancing Russian armor, but also behind it,

which led to additional losses during retreat. It is quite possible that one of the additional

reasons for the attack on Ugleedar was the desire of Russian generals to show greater results than

the "Wagner Group," which had tactical advances in the Bahmut direction. But it turned out the way

it did, the main thing is to talk on TV about the Russian army's victories on all fronts.
