The ANM loaded with explosives had already approached the Russian fleet, but suddenly “lost contact and washed ashore harmlessly.”
Musk's decision, which left Ukrainian officials begging him to turn the satellites back on, was driven by acute fears that Russia would respond to Ukraine's attack on Crimea with nuclear weapons, a fear fueled by Musk's conversations with senior Russian officials.

They only know how to fight well against civilians!

Still, many Russians were very interested in the story with the helicopter, really, really. I think he deserved half a million dollars for this.
And then Budanov threw a couple more firewood into the burning inferno
I can imagine Budanov’s smile after this statement, wonderful, wonderful)

- “For 10 migrants — husband home." The wives of those mobilized from the Irkutsk region proposed sending foreigners who had received Russian citizenship to the war
Poster “If your neighbor is a migrant — call the military registration and enlistment office!' published in the Telegram chat “Siberian Rear”, where there are more than 500 participants. The poster was taken as a basis from the Great Patriotic War, “The Motherland is Calling!”, in which a woman takes the military oath. In the version of “Siberian Rear” instead of an oath — text with an appeal to tell military registration and enlistment offices about “newly made citizens of the Russian Federation who enjoy the benefits and benefits of your homeland, but accidentally forgot to register for military service.”
In the comments, wives write: “I’m generally an evil woman, I’ll help any visitor,” “I’ll even give you a ride,” “I can also give you a ride, I’ll ask for a quota at the military registration and enlistment office: for 10 migrants — husband home."
In August, relatives of those mobilized in the “Siberian rear” complained about the lack of social assistance. They accused the authorities of providing housing and benefits to refugees from Donbass, and not to military families.
I can’t understand, in the logic of the z-party, sending to the front is a blessing or a punishment?

- "Aeroflot" paid the leasing company AerCap a debt for 18 stolen aircraft
Dublin-based Avolon filed a lawsuit against Lloyds Insurance in the High Court of Ireland for planes remaining in the Russian Federationafter the start of the war in Ukraine.
The lessor recorded losses of $304 million from non-return of 10 aircraft.
Previously, AerCap, the world's largest aircraft leasing company, filed a lawsuit against insurers, whose losses for the 113 aircraft remaining in the Russian Federation amounted to $2.7 billion.
You can watch the courts endlessly, but it is best to remember that as soon as foreign insurers lose claims, they will immediately turn their heads and claims towards the Russian Federation and local airlines.
And today the media reported that Aeroflot satisfied all property claims of the Irish leasing company "AerCap" made after the appropriation of other people's aircraft.
«Aeroflot» does not name the amount of compensation for losses caused to the European insurer, which were reimbursed by citizens of the Russian Federation from their own pockets.
«Aeroflot» and the Government of the Russian Federation did not wait for decisions of international courts, because the amounts to be recovered in this case would be even greater.
Russia continues to get acquainted with effectively working international law.
Sooner or later, foreign insurers will recover all damages, including fines and penalties, for aircraft appropriated by Russian airlines.
Analysts have calculated that insurance settlements for all aircraft will require 80–96 billion rubles.
And then, when everything gets better, no one will discuss these planes because now they are not operated according to regulations. Then you'll have to buy new ones. So it's a double purchase.
