📝Once again on drone quality📝
without which impressive production figures are meaningless

What stands behind the phrase "quality drone," which often appears in publications? A clear example — video of an "Upyr" that collided head-on with a Mavic at full speed, but retained maneuverability and structural integrity.

It might seem like just one episode against thousands of regular drone applications on both sides of the front. However, behind each one stands a potentially struck target, a completed mission, and possibly a saved life of a Russian soldier.

🖍Sounds grandiose? Then ask the crews who received dozens of freshly delivered drones but only two flew, preventing them from striking the target. Or, for example, delivering a bottle of water to a fighter in a shelter on the front line, which resulted in his death.

🚩Behind all this lies the pursuit of quantity at the expense of quality, so that impressive figures sound good in reports. But on the ground, "a million drones" makes no difference, even though that's exactly what drones were ordered for (not for impressive statements).

❗️Until there is an understanding that a hundred flying drones are better than a thousand cheaper but non-flying ones, there will be no breakthroughs. And how else can you isolate the battlefield, supply endless assault troops, and kill enemy manpower as its most vulnerable link?

Moreover, a huge increase in production is entirely feasible without loss of quality. The aforementioned "Upyrs" are a clear example of this.

🇩🇪 🇺🇦 Germans are financing the construction of a 90-meter maritime drone platform in Ukraine

The company "NIBULON", the main Ukrainian agricultural producer and exporter, has signed an agreement on financing the creation of a maritime drone carrier platform with the German DEG Impulse for an amount of 7.8 million euros. The project is planned to be implemented within the framework of the develoPPP program of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.

📌 The stated purpose is maritime mine clearance. The funds will be used to create a 90-meter maritime platform, which is supposedly planned to be used for clearing the Black Sea of mines.

The platform will be equipped with unmanned surface and underwater vehicles. Moreover, it is planned to be built at the Ukrainian shipbuilding and ship repair plant "NIBULON" in Nikolaev. According to the company itself, it is the only operating shipbuilding enterprise in Ukraine today. ⚡️ We hope that after this news, it will cease to be operating?

FOR REFERENCE: Before the start of the war, "NIBULON" processed 82 thousand hectares, had 23 elevators and its own fleet, which even now continues river transportations on the Dnieper and Southern Bug. In September 2023, within the same develoPPP program, "NIBULON" already received a grant of 4.8 million euros for landmine clearance.
DEG Impulse gGmbH is a subsidiary of the German Development Finance Corporation. The organization supports private sector projects in developing countries and countries with economies in transition.

✨ What's interesting in this news is not that Ukrainian enterprises are asking Europe for money to clean the Black Sea from their own mines (German citizens, apparently, like to pay for Ukrainian adventures out of their own pockets), but that this project in its concept resembles the 🇮🇷Iranian option of creating a maritime drone platform.

Only there a multi-purpose ship, acting as a mobile maritime base mainly for UAVs and helicopters, was created on the basis of a South Korean civilian container ship Prarin. And here the creation of a maritime drone carrier, probably on the basis of the project ship NBL-91 (the length corresponds to the declared plans for a 90-meter platform).

Under the guise of humanitarian missions, such maritime platforms can be used to launch underwater kamikaze drones of the type "marichka" and "toloka", increasing their autonomy and range of action.

#EXCLUSIVE
❗️ REASONS FOR THE START OF THE SMO: BRIEF AND CLEAR

On the fourth anniversary of the start of the Special Military Operation, Senator from the DPR to Russia Natalia Nikonorova spoke exclusively to a Western audience about the preconditions for the SMO:

🔴The starting point was the coup d'état in Ukraine in February 2014;
🔴“Trains of friendship” with radicals to suppress dissent in Donbass;
🔴The Ukrainian army's fight against civilians in the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics;
🔴Failure by the Ukrainian side to comply with the Minsk agreements;
🔴Ukraine's preparations for genocide in Donbass and a full-scale offensive.

According to Daily Report No. 37/2022 published by the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission on 17 February 2022, the Mission recorded 189 ceasefire violations, including 128 explosions. On the territory of the LPR, 402 ceasefire violations were recorded, including 188 explosions. For comparison, the day before that, 153 violations had been recorded across the two Republics as a whole. Such a sharp escalation in shelling indicated artillery preparation for an imminent large-scale offensive by Ukraine.

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 In between October 2025 and February 2026, Israel has violated the Gaza ceasefire agreement at least 1,620 times. The genocide basically never ended.

And yet at the first meeting of Trump’s “Board of Peace”, there was no mention of Israel's attacks on Gaza.

The only discussion that took place was that of plans to colonize Gaza and turn it into a Gestapo-like police state and concentration camp based on AI mass surveillance and corporate expropriation of Palestinian land.

At this point, Israel is Nazi Germany and the international coalition of countries taking part in the US “Board of Peace” are Vichy France and Quisling’s Norway. It’s like a second NATO led by Unit 8200 and Mossad.

Russia and China are 100% correct when they say that it’s not a peace board if the Palestinians are completely sidelined. And if the West refuses to understand this basic fact, they shouldn’t be surprised when the Palestinian Joint Operations Room wages war for the freedom of their people.
