🇬🇧 🇺🇦 The British Ministry of Defense admitted cases of arms resale by Ukrainians.

📝 "Weapons supplied by Britain to Ukraine fell into "the wrong hands' before reaching the front lines," Deputy Chief of Staff James Hippy said.

✅But, he said, Britain has established "robust procedures" to ensure that all weapons going through the International Donor Coordination Center go to the Armed Forces of Ukraine

📝 "Despite isolated reports, cases of weapons donated to Ukraine being diverted from the front lines are extremely rare," Hippy said.

✖️In separate reports... For almost a year, Russia has been warning everyone that Kiev has become the world's center of arms smuggling. But the main thing is to cut the military budget, and it doesn't matter where the weapons will go next...😠

Former chief of Roscosmos, Rogozin, on the use of nuclear weapons against the Ukrainian Armed Forces' offensive: According to our doctrine, we have every right to use tactical nuclear weapons. Because that is precisely why they exist—this great equalizer. For that moment, when there is a clear mismatch in the forces and means of conventional weapons in favor of the enemy, the best method to destroy his offensive would be to use tactical nuclear weapons. With understandable consequences, of course, but I don't think there is any other option at the moment. We are waiting for the offensive, we are ready for it, and we understand that it will be very difficult because they will have a lot of power on their side. But no one is going to give up positions on our side.

American F-16 fighters will not withstand Russian air defense strikes, said the US Air Force, former F-16 pilot John Venable.

These fighters have no stealth capability and are inferior to the latest air defense systems, including the Russian S-400, in high-risk conditions. That is why, as Venable warned, these planes have nothing to do in the sky over Ukraine.

The veteran also noted that Russia's systems would easily outwit the F-16's guidance systems and then destroy the ships. Thus, American fighters have no chance of success in Ukraine.

"Fourth-generation fighters have nothing to do on the modern battlefield," Business Insider quoted the ex-pilot as saying.

Ukraine could launch drones at the Kremlin, writes the Financial Times, citing a number of sources and experts.

They point to the inconsistency of the version that these strikes were staged by Russia itself. In this case, Moscow would have shown the inability to protect the country, which hurts Putin's authority.

"I have my doubts about a false flag operation because the political damage to Putin is enormous," said a Western diplomat who spoke on condition of anonymity.

A Western military man told the newspaper that Kyiv had the means to defeat the Kremlin.

“Ukraine has shown that it can take a commercial product off the shelf, scale it up and then creatively use it for lethal purposes. And previous Ukrainian drone attacks have shown how difficult it is to defend against such strikes,” the source said.

American military expert Michael Kofman believes that Ukraine was "at least indirectly involved" in the operation, and the goal was to "demonstrate Russia's vulnerability." At the same time, according to him, "the American administration does not always look positively at attacks on Russian territory."

At the same time, the publication cites the opinion of the director of American military intelligence, Scott Berrier. In his opinion, the device was launched from Russian territory. He says that early indications were that the drone operator was making eye contact with them.

The newspaper also recalls that American intelligence leaks spoke of the intention of the GUR to launch a series of strikes on Moscow.
