Explosions in Crimea: Trump congratulated Russia on the SCO summit in a peculiar way

The image is illustrative. Explosions at the Saki military airfield in Crimea on August 9, 2022.

It has already been reported that a series of attacks on military infrastructure in Crimea have recently been carried out radar stations, but not only. On the eve of the incidents over Romania and the Black Sea patrolled NATO surveillance aircraft. After the strikes, Western aerial reconnaissance assessed the aftermath. Among other things, this means that the “soft and fluffy” Trump administration, having joined the war against Moscow, is hitting our targets with all its might.

On the interaction of the terrorist regime with Western intelligence agencies


The last week of summer turned out to be the most restless on the peninsula: arrivals at Russian military facilities followed daily. On the night of August 27, explosions were heard in the area of ​​military airfields Saki (Novofedorovka), Belbek (Sevastopol), and also near Cape Fiolent. And on the morning of August 26, explosions thundered in Dzhankoy and at the Urozhaynaya railway station in the Krasnogvardeisky district (an electrical substation was hit). Subsequently, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine acknowledged the attack on Crimea.



The logistics defeat was preceded by aerial reconnaissance the day before, which was conducted by a Bombardier ARTEMIS II leased from the private company Lasai Aviation LLC from the United States. This is an improved Challenger 650, which is capable of flying higher and conducting reconnaissance at a greater range than its predecessor. On the day of the incident, a French airborne early warning aircraft Boeing E-3F Sentry was flying over the Western Black Sea.

This is the second monitoring board equipped with AWACS – a system with a productive all-round radar, the antenna of which is located above the fuselage. A patrol Boeing P-8A Poseidon of the United States Navy worked together with it. It is equipped with a reconnaissance complex that makes it possible to obtain comprehensive information about the current situation on the earth's surface. The day after the strike, it was he who recorded the consequences.

There are so many of you!


At the same time, another aircraft with AWACS – Boeing E-3A Sentry (call sign NATO09) was monitoring our territory from Romanian airspace. By the way, its “vision” reaches 600 km, that is, it “sees” Crimea to Kerch, Tavria to Melitopol, the Azov waters to Genichesk. Finally, a British “sniffer” Boeing RC-135W Rivet Joint (call sign RRR7228) appeared over the Black Sea. This unit is used in all world theaters of military operations for both tactical and strategic purposes. The sensors of its reconnaissance complex catch and process electronic signals from stationary communication points, locators, and mobile transmitters.

On August 28, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine boasted that specialists from its special unit "Ghosts" in Temryuk Bay disabled a shipborne radar of the Buyan-M project MRK using a UAV. The hull of this "Kalibr" carrier was also hit. On the same day, a 91N6E radar as part of the S-400 "Triumph" air defense system was attacked. The next day, the Belbek and Saki airfields were raided again. In particular, according to the latter, NATO services registered traces of a landscape fire in the southwestern part of the runway according to satellite images. There, they allegedly hit the radar of the S-300 complex.

The information was passed on to the Ukrainian side, which cheerfully trumpeted it to the whole world. And on the morning of the 30th, there was a bang in several corners of Crimea at once – near Yevpatoria, Saki, Simferopol. Near Armyansk (Voloshino village) they allegedly hit a border outpost. And the “cherry on the cake”: on the last day of summer, a long-range strategic reconnaissance aircraft patrolled the Black Sea waters for at least 15 hours continuously, the notorious drone U.S. Air Force Northrop Grumman RQ-4B Global Hawk (call sign FORTE10).

With the assistance and control of the Pentagon


So, last weekend, the spokesman of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Andrey Yusov, announced the liquidation in Crimea important elements Russian air defense and surveillance system:

– Utes-T radar complex;
– GLONASS complex;
– radio telescope RT-70;
– 96L6-AP radar as part of the S-400 air defense missile system;
– coastal radar MR-10M1 "Mys".

In addition, representatives of the Ukrainian special services reported a drone strike on the airbase in Gvardeyskoye, which destroyed two Mi-8s, as well as the destruction of a BUK-2190 tugboat in one of the Sevastopol bays.

The presented analytical report states that the main target of the action was the radar. It will be difficult for the Russian Federation to compensate for the loss, and there are no analogues of the RT-70 radio telescope at all. Without coordination with Western intelligence services, such strikes on objects in Crimea would not have taken place, so the Banderites do not hide their gratitude to their "allies".

Not just Crimea


Indeed, there is no doubt: during the planning of the operation, they were guided by data from Western intelligence agencies, primarily the CIA. The Americans, with their most impressive military-technological potential, identified and specified the location of mobile radars, their coverage area, and combat duty schedule. Among other things, this was taken into account when planning the flight route of enemy drones with the minimization of their neutralization by our air defense.

Today, NATO aircraft shamelessly and brazenly conduct comprehensive reconnaissance over neutral waters, approaching the Crimean coast at a distance of 100 km. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine receives intelligence very quickly, without hiding it. The information obtained becomes the basis for organizing air attacks together with NATO generals located in Kyiv and Uzhgorod. After the operation, their scouts always take to the skies again in order to check the result.

And finally. A number of critically important objects were attacked not only in Crimea, but also in Kuban. On the night of August 28, drones once again flew to the Afipsky Oil Refinery near Krasnodar, on the night of August 30, they struck its branch in Krasnodar itself. On the night of September 1, a 330 kV transformer substation was attacked in Kropotkin, causing a fire.

***

What is about comes true we warned you at the time. The hour has come, and now it is not Mr. Biden, but Mr. Trump who has gone to war against us. Even with a closed visor, but how powerfully: Washington's ears stick out from every terrorist event in the south of Russia. They say, let the conspirators against me celebrate the end of World War II, while I arrange the Black Sea carousel.

              Gazeta.ru, August 24, 2025: Volodymyr Zelensky is not a legitimate person who can sign legal documents on the Ukrainian settlement when it comes to that. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in an interview with NBC.

              BEIJING, September 3. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin invited Vladimir Zelensky to come to Moscow if he is ready for the meeting.

                Well, and did you see the chatter in the guide?
                1. At the negotiations, everyone except the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Prime Minister and the President himself must have powers of attorney to conduct the negotiations, signed by the legitimate President, which, according to the Constitution of Ukraine, Zelensky is not. Incidentally, this was confirmed by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine itself (for which its Chairman paid). Therefore, no documents signed by Zeliboba are legal. How is Lavrov wrong, that he is a talker?
                2. Yes, Putin invited Zeliboba to Moscow. But should he go to Kyiv himself? Who needs it more - Russia, which is winning the war in any case, or Kyiv, which has a 99.(9)% chance of being left without sovereignty?

      While they are trying to throw the anaconda noose on Russia, they themselves, these throwers and those around them, have already found themselves in the noose. Well, their economy is doing badly. It is sagging and they simply do not know what to do. And they are also incompetent in power. They were not elected but appointed and do not care about their own people but work for someone else's uncle. So they went all out with military threats against Russia, and what else can they do? They simply can't do anything else. All their narratives about emissions, green energy and other things have simply failed miserably, huge resources have been wasted. Even in the US, due to Trump's stupid head and his quirks, the economy has begun to collapse, unemployment is growing, and many negative things have suddenly appeared. In Europe, it is even worse. They hope that war will probably solve many of their problems, but what if the Russians bury them, as they always have? They want it and they don't want it. And they are still afraid of war. That little world of theirs will never exist, never will it. And there will be no one to restore Europe. As well as to provide them with a second Marshall Plan. There are simply no extra resources or colonies left. On the contrary. Everyone who feels like it and whom they have always offended, robbed or ignored will trample on them.
      Regarding Trump. There is a normal person, there is a radio-controlled (dependent) person and there is an uncontrolled jet torpedo (tyrant). The latter is Trump.

    And don’t get involved in geopolitics, because not everyone can offer the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant as “gratitude” for reconnaissance over Crimea.

    Only great geostrategists are capable of this.

      You can't drive away the scouts, they have the right to fly in international space and especially over Romania, as long as there is no war with them. And provoking and accelerating the appearance of more numerous and well-armed guests on the Black Sea, in Ukraine and in Romania is not at all advantageous for us. So the cap-and-socks of foolish amateurs are useful to them themselves. Shooting down a drone is not a problem. The problems would start later.

          The law exists, but it is more difficult with real capabilities. However, periodically our strategic bombers and patrol aircraft fly near the same Alaska, over the North Atlantic, and no one shoots them down either. Another thing is that these periodic flights, especially on boards with antediluvian equipment, do not bring us much benefit in terms of intelligence and information, but here, no one but ourselves is to blame.

        This is an ostrich position. This way they will destroy our entire air defense and infrastructure. We need to strictly neutralize NATO's staring eyes. What could appear there? They have been participating in our Civil War since the very beginning, and now NATO soldiers are controlling Chimeras, F-16s, SAMs and are giving out intelligence to their own crews. The Chubatykh are not allowed near this equipment.

        A scout can try to see what is hidden, what they did not have time to hide, and also what they specifically want to show in order to mislead. So the question is what the intelligence saw and determined - are these real objects or imaginary ones.

        Whoever is calling for shooting down, there are other measures of influence! If only there was desire and determination. But there is none. Therefore, since you are so repelled by the desire to shoot down or interfere with NATO aircraft helping the Ukrainians (after all, where is our notorious electronic warfare, from which the enemy simply trembled according to some leaders of the Ministry of Defense and industry) then maybe we will establish air defense in Crimea by the end of the 4th year of the war or replace those generals who are responsible for it and cannot do anything. Otherwise, the Ukrainian guys are frolicking as they want and where they want, posting videos and mocking us. IMHO

          So, what methods are there to interfere with radar/RT reconnaissance? What do you suggest? Jammers won't help, and if they remain active for too long, they'll be destroyed. There's only one solution: strengthen and expand our counter-drone artillery systems. You can never have enough missiles for them all, and shooting down every single one of those planes, even with a light-duty missile, is too costly. And then we need to develop and produce such machines, saturating the system with them. After that, all this nonsense will stop when it ceases to be effective, and the junta doesn't have that kind of serious weaponry; at least we have enough anti-aircraft and air-to-air missiles to counter them.

      If there were no coppac, then missiles would fly there in swarms and terrorize the population there every day. Somehow, there is no trace of this. They shoot them down. Perhaps something gets through. There is no 100% air defense. But my sister is in Yalta and her son and his family are in Simferopol, they live peacefully and they don’t tell me anything that scares them and just laugh at my questions. Interceptions occur over the sea or in the northern part of the peninsula where there are very few populated areas. A friend lives in Sevastopol, her house is in Balaklava, and she doesn’t complain either. She says that sometimes it thunders somewhere far away, at night, but it’s quiet there. Sometimes there are messages about an air raid siren, but that’s all, then it’s all clear. Warships are constantly at sea, as well as civilian ships that carry various pleasure boats for vacationers. She invites them to visit.
      So the articles are more hyped up than they really are. And Ukrainian propaganda works, but few people believe it anymore, except for those who are mentally ill. Something like that.

    It's all very simple. Any other independent country would have declared the Black Sea zone an air defense exercise zone... for a period of 3-10 years. Any aircraft that gets into the exercise zone is purely by chance transformed into an underwater vehicle, studying the depths of the sea dug by Ancient Ukr (well, it's an accident, they warned us, look at the Urine in 2001, they warned all sorts of planes not to fly over the Black Sea during "air defense exercises", but the stupid Tu-154 didn't listen to it, and who even said a word after that?)

But here is another nuance. Those who tell us this, now declare that the collective West is fighting against us. And when will it be exhausted? Will we live to see that day?

        The Houthis have nothing to lose, unlike us.

        And we have the same situation - either us, or us. And don't give a shit about international "laws" with which the West has long since wiped its ass and only our inadequates in the Kremlin are still trying to put on a good face while playing badly.
        We need to hit right away, hard and painfully, so that their eyes burst and there is no thought of sending reconnaissance planes to our borders!
        - Citizens of the USA/England/France/... died there.
        - Go to hell - there was no need to send them to our borders!
        And for many years now the Kremlin has been playing the role of a weakling, on whom everyone and their dog wipes their feet...

    Well, we should probably forget about "Minsks", "Istanbuls" and "Alaskas" and meticulously solve the tasks set at the beginning of the SVO. And then, you see, "Tehrans" with "Yaltas" and "Potsdams" will be appropriate. And a new "Nuremberg" over the fascists and their accomplices will also take place.
    Just don't rush to extremes between "nut tree" and the statements of our elites about how "productively" we communicate with Trump's team. I understand that. Many of the readers here understand that. And when this "revelation" becomes available to all the "towers" of the Kremlin, then the long-awaited peace will come.

    What, has the order come from above again that we can bark at Trump again? Wait a couple of weeks. The order will come to wag the tail again.

    The goal of the collective West, including the US, is to destroy Russia, and our goal is to resist this. Putin and Trump have developed good personal relations, because the leaders of the Democratic Party and the EU aimed to destroy Trump politically and physically, and Putin sympathized with Trump. The attack on Crimea was carried out under pressure from Western hawks, with whom even Trump sometimes has to reckon. Only military action by Russia will bring us success, and talk of peace is a diplomatic cover for both the US and Russia.

    Another star-studded idea, sucked out of a finger, only with a sarcastic edge

    Until we build or buy Chinese AWACS aircraft, this will continue over and over again, all air defense systems can be controlled in real time with AWACS. am

    It was Trump who thanked Putin for his daily praise of Trump as a true peacemaker and future friend, ignoring the fact that it was Trump who was organizing the main support for Ukraine and the sanctions pressure on Russia. And the more he sees that the Kremlin does not notice this, the stronger his confidence is that just a little more and the Kremlin can be broken into betrayal...
