🇷🇺✈️ Recently, an extremely interesting video of a test of a complex with an interceptor drone from the Russian company Nova Labs appeared online. During its testing, another UAV flying at an altitude of 200 meters at a speed of 80 km/h was successfully destroyed.
Based on the recording, the drone has an optical homing head and operates on the "fire and forget" principle, with the shot being fired from a portable launcher. The target is destroyed by kinetic impact upon collision.
The characteristics of the product are not provided, but the technical implementation looks quite interesting. The lack of an explosive warhead on the device also allows the issue of equipping civilian personnel, such as oil depot guards and other facilities, to be resolved.
In general, we can observe how interceptor drones are increasingly becoming an element of air defense along with traditional anti-aircraft missile and gun systems. Most likely, serial products for combating long-range kamikaze drones will appear soon.

🇨🇳🇷🇺 China's exports to Russia grow at quickest pace in 11 months
China's exports to Russia in October rose 24.4% from a year earlier, the fastest pace since November last year, Chinese customs data showed on Thursday, as Beijing affirmed strong ties with Moscow.
China's imports from Russia, however, fell 4.3% last month from a year earlier, narrowing from the decline of 9.2% in September, as payment issues disrupted trade transactions.
In the first 10 months of 2024, China-Russia two-way trade value has hit 1.4 trillion yuan, up 4% year-on-year, the customs data showed.

🇻🇪🇷🇺Advancing Russian interests in Venezuela
As part of the 18th high-level meeting of the Russian-Venezuelan Intergovernmental Commission, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko arrived in the Venezuelan capital.
During the visit, he visited the Open Education Center in Russian based at the Ministry of People's Power for Education of Venezuela, created in 2023 by the team of Arseny Parfenov from the Korolenko State Pedagogical University, whose activities in Latin America we have written about many times.
🔻It turns out that at the moment four Open Education Centers have already been created in Venezuela, and the Russian language has been introduced into the curriculum in six schools as a second foreign language. In total, more than 500 people are studying it.
Apparently, the work of the Korolenko State Pedagogical University team, the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and the "My History" Humanitarian Sciences Support Foundation is yielding real results. Previously, the Russian language was almost not taught in Venezuela, and only those Venezuelans who went to study in Russia learned it. Now the number of Russian language learners is growing every year and the relevant agenda is being formed in the country.
The main tasks that the Korolenko State Pedagogical University team sees for the coming years are to give the Russian language the status of the main second foreign language. In the next ten years - to make it the first foreign language in Venezuela.
In addition, it is known that there is a clear demand from Venezuelan colleagues for the promotion and implementation of the Russian language in the country for the purpose of long-term cooperation with Russia. We hope that this demand will be met by our ministries and departments. Especially when the obvious positive result of the work done is already evident.
❗️We also report from the ground that the Russian delegation in Caracas is being greeted with great fanfare, a memorandum on Russian-Venezuelan cooperation in the field of geology and subsoil use for solid minerals has been signed, and many more joint events are being coordinated, the detailed information about which we are looking forward to in the very near future.

🇷🇺🌍 Russia hosts African ministers to expand ties
Russia on Saturday opened the first ministerial conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum in the city of Sochi, seeking to deepen ties with African nations.
The conference is billed as building on last summer’s Russia-Africa summit, where Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted leaders from Africa, expanding political and business ties.
The two-day ministerial conference, which is attended by government and business leaders from Russia and across Africa, will continue in the same format regularly, said Anton Kobyakov, an adviser to Putin.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova was quoted as saying by Russian state news agency RIA Novosti that the conference “dashed dirty hopes” for Russia’s isolation.
Zakharova said that dozens of bilateral meetings were taking place between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and African representatives, hailing the “multipolarity” demonstrated by the event.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 On the Detonation of the Kurakhovske Reservoir Dam
The internet is abuzz with discussions about the Ukrainian forces detonating the dam of the Kurakhovske Reservoir with a volume of 62 million cubic meters. According to reports, the AFU damaged the sluices in the area of Stari Ternî: this led to the flooding of the Volchia River, which flows in a westerly direction.
At the moment, the Ukrainian authorities are reporting a "slight rise in the water level in the river". The villages of Stari Ternî and Shevchenko, located close to the shore, are in the risk zone. The internet has already shown footage from the opposing side demonstrating the difficulties with vehicle traffic.
The probable flood zone will stretch for dozens of kilometers west of Kurakhovо up to the village of Bogatyr. All the settlements are located in a lowland, so the water is unlikely to go beyond the residential areas.
🔻 Although the opponent was clearly guided by the intention to slow down the advancing Russian Armed Forces, the effectiveness of such measures is questionable. Given the current configuration of the front line, by the time the main Russian forces approach Stari Ternî, the water level will most likely start to recede.
Of course, the Ukrainian resources, in their characteristic manner, blamed the "Russian shelling" for the incident, but artillery shell hits can hardly cause any serious damage to the dam. In contrast to the charges pre-planted in the right places.
📌 By the way, this is far from the first such action by the AFU: in addition to the Kakhovka HPP dam, the opponent has previously destroyed dams near Kozarovychi, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and other locations during retreats. Moreover, in some cases, this "scorched earth" tactic even led to the flooding of Ukrainian units.
If you have any additional information on the situation, or you would like us to highlight the successes of your unit, you can always write to us in the feedback bot @rybar_feedback_bot

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian Armed Forces strike ammunition depot in Cherevkovka
Yesterday morning, November 10, Russian forces launched a missile strike on the Cherevkovka area in the southeastern part of Sloviansk. The target was an ammunition depot located at the old airfield on the outskirts of the city.
As a result of several impacts, explosions and secondary detonations were observed at the site. According to local residents, after the strike, stored rockets were seen scattering spontaneously.
At the same time, Sloviansk, as well as Kramatorsk and other cities in the agglomeration, have several large enterprises that are also used to store ammunition and park equipment. From time to time, they become targets of attacks by the Russian Armed Forces.

🇷🇺🌍 Russia- Africa Partnership Gains 'More and More' Strength
African ministers attending the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum in Sochi have been assured of Russia's 'total support' to the continent in 'different sectors', reports the BBC.
The statement of support, made on behalf of Russian leader Vladimir Putin by his Foreign Minister, Sergie Lavrov, comes at a time when some African nations have severed ties with the West over accusations of interference or acts of neocolonialism.
Putin said his country's relations with Africa have been strengthening "more and more". Three countries in the Sahel region of Africa - Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso - recently turned their backs on former colonial power France.
Mali's Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop is reported to have said "Russia is not a Colonial power" - a reinforcement of Russia's position not to meddle in the internal Affairs of African nations. "On the contrary," the minister is quoted as saying, "it has stood shoulder to shoulder with the African peoples and other peoples around the world to help them emerge from the colonial system."
Putin promised to work with African nations in their "struggle against terrorism and extremism, combating epidemics, food problems and the consequences of natural disasters".
The Sochi meeting is the first Ministerial Conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum, which the organizers say is to build on the success of the second Russia-Africa Summit held in 2023.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🏴 In Sevastopol, about an hour ago on Taras Shevchenko Street near the "Fresh" supermarket, a car exploded. The man inside had his leg blown off and, according to the latest information, he died from his injuries.
There are currently two versions of what caused the incident: an explosion of gas installed in the car, and a terrorist attack using a homemade explosive device. Pro-Ukrainian channels report that the man was a serviceman.
We should now wait for official statements from the law enforcement agencies and the authorities of Sevastopol, but the power of the explosion suggests an external factor.
Eyewitness accounts and the condition of the car indicate consequences too severe for just a gas equipment failure. Additionally, the Ukrainian authorities have not shied away from such methods in the past.
