[ColonelCassad] According to the UAV attack on Moscow and the Moscow region at 9 am.
1. Up to 32 UAVs of various types were used. 19 were shot down by air defense, 10 fell caught on wires and trees on the approach. zThree flew to New Moscow
2. Launched from the northern regions of the Sumy or Chernihiv regions. It is also possible that some of the DRGs could be launched from the territory of the Russian Federation.
3. Now the situation is calm, the debris is being collected and the consequences are being eliminated.
4. The question of the need to increase the number of conventional anti-aircraft guns covering MSCs is quite relevant, they are in warehouses, for such purposes they are quite effective for themselves.
5. As a response to yesterday's attacks on Kyiv, and not only did it turn out to be rather sluggish, but it is obvious that attempts will be made to repeat such attacks. Therefore, it is better to prepare in advance.
PS. The Ministry of Defense reported that there were 8 aircraft-type drones - 5 were shot down, 3 were rejected by electronic warfare.

Swarm drone testing
Commentary by Boris Rozhin is in italics.
AUKUS: testing a swarm of artificial intelligence drones and various vehicles
A swarm of Australian, British and American AI air and ground vehicles jointly located and tracked targets during testing.
More than 70 military and civilian employees of the defense industry, as well as industry representatives, who are part of the AUKUS Advanced Capabilities Pillar or Pillar 2 program, created to accelerate the trilateral development of critical technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, cybernetics and hypersound, participated in the experiment.
During joint field testing, Blue Bear Ghost and Insitu CT220 drones participated; Challenger 2 main battle tanks and Warrior armored vehicles; unmanned ground equipment Viking; commercial self-propelled gun FV433 Abbot; former BMP OT-90 of the Eastern Bloc, BMP.

PS. The swarm use of UAVs will be one of the main trends in the development of military drones already in the middle - the second half of the 20s. It is very important not to lag behind in this matter.The leading armies of the world have been experimenting and developing in this direction for several years.
Of course, the issue of combating swarm-type drones will inevitably be relevant.

Where did the "Bayraktars" disappear to?
In the early months of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, many called the Bayraktar TB2 drones the saviors of Ukraine and the future of hostilities.
Numerous messages and videos appeared on the network about how Ukrainian troops used them to strike. Their popularity was so great that the Ukrainians even wrote a song about them, which quickly became viral.
However, a year after the start of the conflict, almost all of these drones were shot down by Russian troops, and those that still remain, according to the expert, are now used exclusively for reconnaissance and surveillance.
"The general characteristic of drones like the TB2 is that they work very well, provided they are not targeted with complex air defense and electronic defense systems," said Samuel Bendett, analyst and expert on unmanned and robotic military systems at the Center for Naval Analysis.
“Being a relatively slow and low-flying UAV, the Bayraktar can be an easy target for a range of well-established air defense systems. We have seen this in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh,” he explained.
RUSSIA HAS A MODERN ELECTRONIC WARFARE SYSTEM AT ITS DISPOSAL
Although Russia was indeed vulnerable to Ukrainian drone strikes in the first months of the special military operation, it quickly adapted and improved its electronic warfare capabilities. Since then, it has successfully shot down and jammed Ukrainian drones.
"Once the Russian troops got their bearings, they could shoot down a lot of TB2s," Bendett added.
Last year, Ukraine reported that it had received 50 TB2 drones since the start of the Russian special military operation, but by the end of 2022 they had practically disappeared from the battlefield.
The commander of the Russian air defense forces, Lieutenant General Andrey Demin, said that in April, Russian forces destroyed more than a hundred drones.
According to Bendett, Ukraine now uses TB2 mainly for reconnaissance, surveillance and reconnaissance, and not for attack.
According to him, the Ukrainian military uses "the modern optics and sensors of Turkish drones to control the attacks of other drones, but at the same time TB2 remains outside the reach of Russian air defense and electronic warfare systems."
Indeed, according to the latest data, Moscow has a distinct advantage in the so-called “drone war”. The Russian military shoots down about 10,000 Ukrainian drones every month.
Electronic warfare is a "key component" of Moscow's tactics and is the reason Ukraine is losing so many of its drones. This is stated in a report published by the British Royal Institute for Defense Research. The Russian army has managed to adapt to Ukrainian methods of resistance, experts at the institute said.

What a "sudden open". Even at the beginning of the war, it was said that Bayraktars were poorly adapted to operations in theaters with a high density of air defense systems. This was confirmed by subsequent events.
Yet again, more from Boris Rozhin:
Decision center hit
The Kremlin reacted to an attempted attack by Moscow.
1. The work of the air defense forces was rated as good.
2. Everything was reported to Putin in the morning.
3. The attack was assessed as an attempt to retaliate against effective arrivals from the Russian Aerospace Forces in Ukraine.
4. It was also stated that a certain decision-making center was hit during the latest strikes.
5. This attack shows that the NWO needs to be continued.
The Kremlin did not specify anything about the decision-making center mentioned, but there are two main versions - a certain buried object was hit, or it means an arrival near the headquarters of the Main Intelligence Directorate in Kiev. So we are waiting for the details.
The attack on Moscow itself did not cause significant damage, so the enemy will try to milk it for at least a PR effect. But one should not fall into complacency. The enemy will certainly take this failure into account in future attacks.
Yet again more from Boris Rozhin:
Another Patriot air defense system hit in Kyiv
According to Shoigu, another Patriot air defense system was hit in Kyiv the other day.
Earlier it was reported about the arrival in the area of the Zhuliany airfield, where the control station and 5 launchers of the Patriot air defense system had already been destroyed. The hunt continues. There is still at least one unaffected complex.
From other statements:
Shoigu about the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the fight against Western weapons.
1. Over the past month, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost more than 16,000 military personnel, 16 aircraft, 466 UAVs and more than 400 tanks and armored combat vehicles;
2. Western curators demand that Kyiv go on the offensive, despite the significant losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine; Kiev authorities use NATO weapons to strike social facilities and carry out terrorist attacks against Russian civilians
3. Russian troops intercepted 29 Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles in a month; Also intercepted were 196 HIMARS missiles and 16 HARM missiles.
4. In recent days, large arms depots in Khmelnitsky, Ternopil and Nikolaev have also been destroyed.
5. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are improving the use of aviation in the course of a special operation, mastering new equipment and weapons;
6. Russian troops monitor the supply routes of Western weapons to Ukraine and strike at them;
7. Measures taken to ensure flight safety allowed the RF Armed Forces to practically eliminate accidents due to the human factor.
