Today, I presented state awards of Ukraine to the people without whom Operation “Spiderweb” would not have happened. We have no right to name them – everything remains absolutely classified and will remain so for a long time. This is already a historic operation by the Security Service of Ukraine, one that was carefully prepared, and on this very day one year ago, it entered its final stage – striking Russian military equipment. Farther than Ukrainian long-range capabilities had ever reached before. As precisely as no one in Russia expected. And as justly as the enemy’s strategic aviation deserves.
“Spiderweb” destroyed or at least damaged 41 aircraft. Never before had Russia lost such equipment, in such numbers, and as a result of strikes by drones that were incomparably cheaper. Ukraine has once again proved that it knows how to act asymmetrically, that it defends itself actively and truly creatively, and that Russia has no chance of overcoming Ukrainian courage. Ukraine will always be one step ahead – in technology, in bravery, and in the ability to capture the world’s attention and rally the support of millions of human hearts.
Ukraine is now applying long-range sanctions against Russia for this war literally every day. We did not start this war, we did not provoke it, and the only thing we wanted for Ukraine and Ukrainians was peace. But as long as the Russians choose the opposite, and as long as Russia does everything to drag out this war and expand it, Ukrainians will continue to find responses that will definitely work. I thank all our warriors for their precision! I thank the Security Service of Ukraine for its long-range leadership! I thank everyone who helps us! Glory to Ukraine!
@eevblog Now the spin will begin.. they will blame “jamming” and then try and bamboozle the press with big technical terminology
What they should do is say, “we will investigate and publish the facts as they become known.”
@BenObeseJecty@UAVHive@mattcprecey When the “Guy on the internet” has the facts, backed up by the world’s experts in drone technology, I’ll back him any day.
I’d suggest you reach out and have a chat to him before embarrassing yourself like this.
A Register exclusive featuring my legal antics on the Gatwick Drone incident and the support I have on my concerns globally across the drone industry.
A hat tip to @dronelaws and the trade body Unmanned Support for speaking up publicly when some others have been silent.
@linzoconnor@AWMemorial We lost quite a few service members in the F111 but it also served in many conflicts. Not sure that you or anyone can claim that it wasn’t shot at
Perfectly logical to have it in the memorial
Even our Australia Left wing government can see the evil of the ayatollah. This was beyond left and right, unbelievable! For once he did a good thing! Stop this stupidity!
Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.
Read my full statement:
@DavidShoebridge you are a terrible human being! How dare you support the Iranian regime!
Where is your outrage over them slaughtering their own citizens by the 10’s of thousands!
You are a sick individual.
This is exactly what happens when hysteria drives policy
@Gatwick_Airport knows how easy it is to misidentify a light in the sky as a drone..
How much harder when there is a genuine drone and some idiots with mediocre information and lasers decides to start shooting back!
Just stupid
BREAKING: The U.S. military used a laser to take down a Customs and Border Protection drone, lawmakers say, and FAA closed airspace near El Paso, Texas. https://t.co/dW6qZweW7F
@TeslaAUNZ@elonmusk@grok@elonmusk why can’t I update my system to an AMD.. it’s a RHD 2017 p100D ludicrous plus.. I want the cool toys.. FSD CM5 please? Happy to pay!
Like I said and @wdejager said at the time...
Norway's security services now confirm there is NO evidence of Russian drones causing their panics last year.
It's such a shame the BBC in particular wouldn't listen to drone experts...
