Excellent info! Thanks.
Here's some additional information on the shoot down.
Russian Telegram channels shared more details about the Russian aircraft that crashed yesterday in Crimea.
Reportedly, it was a Su-27 and it was shot down by the Russian Pantsir anti-aircraft missile-gun system. For some unknown reason, the air defense did not receive notification of the departure of their Su-27.
Because the Pantsir system's combat crew did not receive a response from the Su-27 pilot to its interrogation, a decision was made to fire the plane for effect. As it became known later, the system's crew interrogation did not reach the Su-27 pilot because the IFF interrogator on the Pantsir system was not working correctly.
Some Russian media called this a "technical deficiency."

Without a doubt, Russian air defense components are operating in autonomous mode.

What is Zelensky up to in Transnistria?
An interesting personnel appointment of the Ukrainian president went unnoticed in our information field.
Zelensky sent former Secretary of the Ukrainian Security Council Alexey Danilov as Ambassador to Moldova. It would seem, what do we care?
It turns out there is. We talked to our sources around Kiriyenko and they drew attention to two points.
Firstly, Danilov is one of the rather bright Ukrainian hawks. An obvious Russophobe. And he is not just removed from the team, but placed in such an important direction. Obviously, for a reason.
Secondly, Zelensky has long been pushing Sandu to resolve the issue of Transnistria . Danilov’s arrival in Chisinau could take these discussions to a new level. This appointment coincided with Kiriyenko’s intensification in this direction. The former Secretary of the Security Council clearly has an abundance of knowledge about the situation in the region.
In any case, it will be interesting to watch events in the region. The appointment of a new Ukrainian ambassador is clearly not ordinary.
