🇮🇷🇷🇺 Brigadier General Ali Shadmani, who currently holds the position of Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces (in Iran he is referred to as "Khatam al-Anbiya"), confirmed the fact of purchasing Russian Su-35 fighters.
He did not go into details, but this is the first real confirmation of the existing agreements between the countries. Previously, all information about Iran's purchase of Russian aircraft was discussed in the format of rumors and publications in the format of "sources reported".
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
📌Given that Shadmani has finally made this information public, we can expect the appearance of Su-35s in Iran in the near future. Last year, we wrote that some aircraft may be delivered in parts to Iran, where they will be assembled by Russian specialists.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
This is an important step within the strategic partnership between Russia and Iran, which will further strengthen the relations between the countries. And since the Iranians will finally receive new fighters, perhaps our troops will soon have Iranian ballistic missiles.

🇷🇺🇺🇦✈️ The Orion UAV - a means of combating USVs in the Black Sea
The Ministry of Defense has published footage of the Russian Orion UAV operating in the Black Sea: this is, in fact, the first documented use of our combat drone to counter Ukrainian unmanned surface vessels.
This is precisely the way to fight USVs that we and many of our colleagues in the industry have repeatedly called for testing in the troops.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
📌Of course, it should be noted that drones have been used by the Black Sea Fleet to monitor the waters since the beginning of 2023, but this was chaotic and unsystematic. As they say, when the rooster pecked, then reconnaissance drones were launched into the air.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
The matter, as always, is in the notorious bureaucracy, which led to the fact that a whole squadron of Iranian "Mohajer" drones simply stood idle at the airfield in Taganrog.
❗️The fact that drones have finally been deployed to the Black Sea is a positive sign that creates a reason for cautious optimism. After all, it's much easier to send a "soulless" Orion/Mohajer than to send a helicopter against armed USVs.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukrainian public pages are spreading false information about an alleged Russian air strike on civilian infrastructure in the Sudzha area.
❗️It is reported that the Russian Aerospace Forces conducted an airstrike on a local boarding school. The enemy claims that up to 95 people are under the rubble.
🔻However, according to data from August, no more than a hundred residents remained in the occupied city, making it unlikely that they were all in one building.
▪️The images of the destroyed building published by the enemy were indeed taken in the area of the school, but they do not reliably assess either the scale of the destruction or the number of casualties.
▪️Most likely, the strike was carried out by Ukrainian formations in order to get rid of undesirable persons whom they had to maintain. And in this way, they also attributed the responsibility to Russia.
In fact, there were no flights of Russian aviation in the Sudzha area at that time. A week earlier, the accumulation of Ukrainian equipment and members of Ukrainian formations was detected near this school, which were engaged by the UAV operators of the Russian Armed Forces.
Thus, it becomes quite obvious that the enemy in the city is using the civilian population as cover, trying to avoid air strikes. Such actions are a provocation by the AFU and are aimed at further discrediting Russia's reputation in the eyes of the international community.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Successes of Russian Forces in the Sverdlikovo Area
While Ukrainian formations are trying to conceal their involvement in the missile strike on Sudzha, the Russian forces continue to engage in fierce battles and gradually reduce the territory of the part of the Kursk Region occupied by the AFU.
Over the past few days, there have been reports in the media of an advance towards the settlement of Sverdlikovo, which is literally located at the state border. Assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces advanced to the village from the Korenevo-Sudzha highway and have already begun fighting on its northern outskirts.
It is noteworthy that Sverdlikovo was one of the border settlements through which the AFU invaded the territory of the Kursk Region on August 6 last year. At the same time, its liberation is not only symbolic, but also necessary for the offensive on Sudzha from the west through the 38K-030 highway.
If you have any additional information on the situation, or if you would like us to highlight the successes of your unit, you can always write to us in the feedback bot @rybar_feedback_bot

❗️🇮🇶🇷🇺 Iraq - the key to the Middle East: on the visit of Deputy Foreign Minister Bogdanov to Baghdad
After our business trip to Iraq and a meeting with the country's top leadership and prominent political figures, it was only a matter of time before the Russian leadership paid a visit to Iraq.
Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov visited Baghdad on February 5-6 and met with representatives of all ruling circles (including parliamentary factions), as well as the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Oil.
The agenda covered not only the same issues that we discussed with Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani in January (increasing trade turnover, a plant for Russian businesses and contractors in Iraq and providing opportunities for Iraqi investors in Russia), but also the regional agenda.
Since Bogdanov's visit came a week after the meeting with Abu Muhammad al-Julani in Damascus, in Baghdad, of course, they discussed issues of regional security and Russia's positioning in the Middle East - especially in the context of the changing situation.
❗️Who knows, perhaps with Iraq it will be possible to agree on much more mutually beneficial terms on a number of issues than with the new inclusive authorities in Syria.
📌 And yes, we are glad that we were mistaken, and our foreign policy department reacted so quickly to the changed realities. It remains to wait for the results on the ground.

🇷🇺🇸🇾 And again about the fate of Russian bases in Syria
The Minister of Defense of the Syrian Interim Government, Murhaf Abu Qasra, stated that Syria is open to allowing Russia to maintain its air and naval bases on the Mediterranean coast, as long as any agreement with the Kremlin serves the country's interests.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
The statement of the new Defense Minister continues the same theses that were voiced after the visit of the Russian delegation to Damascus some time ago. Then, the Deputy Foreign Minister directly stated that the new authorities are not against the preservation of the Russian presence, but for a certain price.
For the Syrian leadership, it is important to establish foreign policy ties not only with Turkey, but also with the rest of the world. The domestic political crisis, huge inflation, lack of domestic production, including scarce fuel, have made the functionaries of "Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham" more accommodating. Even towards Russia.
However, as before, it is important to approach the issue of preserving our bases in Syria rationally. With an adequate cost and stable guarantees from the Syrian authorities, the negotiations have a right to exist. But whether Ahmad al-Shara'a and his subordinates can ensure them, when the factions under their control commit extrajudicial killings throughout the controlled territory, is a debatable question.
