Reports that the Tu-95 missiles were all intercepted. But there were Kalibr launches from the Black Sea. First time Kalibrs have been used in months.
“First time Kalibrs have been used in months.”
Sounds like somebody is bucking for a drone swarm down there...
“First time Kalibrs have been used in months.”
The nail that gets hammered, is the one that sticks its head up.
Two million drones programmed for Ukraine in 2024. Lets sink some those Kalibr launchers.

Window of opportunity for Russia. What to expect from the coming summer and will it be possible to break through the front?
In paramilitary circles, much is traditionally expected from the spring-summer military campaign. Weather conditions favor the offensive, and accumulated resources are thrown onto the battlefield to ensure results.
Over the past week, we talked with several high-status interlocutors and found out their expectations for the upcoming summer.
Firstly, the Russian Armed Forces are indeed preparing new formations for an offensive this summer. The direction of the impact has not yet been determined, but several directions are being considered. At the same time, military sources emphasize that the current tactics of attacking in very small groups along the entire front line are yielding results.
The front is moving, the enemy is suffering losses. Yes, we have them too, but given the use of drones, it is very difficult to use armored vehicles or other approaches to break through enemy defense lines.
Secondly, mobilization. Will. Necessary. All interlocutors agreed that the issue of mobilization has been resolved; it remains to determine the volume and timing. This decision is up to the President. Demobilization is promised, but not for everyone, and they have not yet openly said when this is possible.
Thirdly, diplomatic and intelligence sources claim that a window of opportunity is now open for our country.
“Many people think that Trump will come and cut aid to Ukraine. But this is not entirely true. Now a lot is expected from Europe. Look at the Czechs - they got a million shells for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This is slightly less than we received from North Korea. Serious negotiations are underway there”, says our interlocutor.
Another source was careful to note that a Trump victory could affect the course of the CBO in different ways. “Of course, Trump is not Biden. But at least we know what to expect from Biden.
“It’s difficult to say what will happen to Trump. Maybe he will decide to declare war on Iran. Then we will have to intervene in the conflict. Or, at a minimum, we will lose the missile supplier, drones and shells,” says an interlocutor associated with the purchase of weapons for the Russian Armed Forces on gray markets.
The interlocutors note the enemy’s problems with mobilization. They emphasize that by the end of summer there is a chance to quickly mobilize people and break through the front. This will be more difficult to do in winter.
Overnight, Ukraine was attacked by a mix of drones and missiles. A total of 31 targets were destroyed.
Shot down:
28/32 Shahed drones
0/3 S-300 ballistic missiles
2/2 Kh-101/555 cruise missiles
1/1 Kalibr cruise missile
