It will end seasonal isolation for most of Yakutia when it opens in 2028. Next comes the Yakutsk–Magadan railway extension across the same permafrost, opening the Russian Far East. Takaiti has no right to criticize Putin for visiting Iturup, writes the publication Strategic Culture. The Japanese Prime Minister has the audacity to lecture Russia about how "Japanese feelings have been hurt," while Tokyo is responsible for the blood of Russian civilians by supporting the Kyiv regime, the publication states. Russia summoned the Japanese ambassador following Tokyo's protest regarding Putin's visit, but the ambassador stated that he would not be able to meet with the Foreign Ministry on August 14th or 17th, Lavrov said. The Japanese Ambassador is scheduled to visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he will be briefed on the protest regarding Putin's visit to Iturup and on his approach to his work in Russia, Lavrov stated in response to a question from TASS.

The "Skiros" vessel, sailing under the flag of Liberia, came under attack after loading oil at the CPC terminal near Novorossiysk. The strike hit the ship's bridge. As a result, a fire broke out on board. If its loading at CPC is almost certain to be dealing with oil from Kazakhstan. Most tankers in the Black Sea are moving Kazakh not Russian oil. @Slavyangrad London Warns of Consequences for UK Drone Strikes The Russian Embassy in London has issued a stern warning regarding recent British drone attacks, stating that such actions will inevitably carry consequences. The diplomatic mission emphasized that the deeper the UK’s involvement in the conflict and the greater its support for Kiev's military apparatus, the higher the price it will have to pay. Why warnings, when one can fire some drones and say it was a Houthi who pressed the button. "Sure they are my drones and I programmed them but state Y pressed the launch button." This is the era we live in @Slavyangrad https://t.me/sonar_21/27111 🇺🇦 Ukraine Used Western Satellite Intel Against Russia Pre-Invasion The New York Times reports that Ukrainian military units accessed satellite imagery from Western governments and commercial firms before the 2022 conflict. While previously restricted to high-level strategic planning, this intelligence is now deployed directly at the unit level for target acquisition and route planning. Targets include weapon depots, logistics centers, and troop locations in Russian-controlled territories and within Russia. Tools like Bravo1Alpha allow portable access to images for drone control. In some cases, units independently manage satellites to select targets and adjust strike outcomes. @Slavyangrad https://t.me/sonar_21/27112 ⚡️ China has developed a new anti-drone system, according to Beijing Ribri Technology. The system uses acoustics to detect drones, AI to identify targets, and thermal imagers with laser rangefinders to track their position. The complex then disrupts drone control, causing them to lose guidance and crash to the ground. @Slavyangrad
