A British journalist promised Zakharova to cover the Ukrainian Armed Forces' terrorist attack in Yenakiyeve.

British journalist Steve Rosenberg announced plans to cover the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attack on a Moscow-Simferopol bus in the city of Yenakiyevo in the Donetsk People's Republic. This plan was prompted by a direct question from Maria Zakharova during the SPIEF:

If you look back, you'll see correspondent Steve Rosenberg standing behind you. Ask him why the terrorist attacks carried out by the Kyiv regime aren't shown to Western audiences. Ask him why he's present at fairs and other events, but not in Starobilsk. I, for one, have a question.

Rosenberg, who happened to be next to Zakharova at the time, was immediately caught on camera. However, he referred to another terrorist attack on a passenger bus:

Are you talking about the seven people who died? We'll tell you about it today.

The journalist, however, refused to call the incident a terrorist attack, citing the fact that the publication he works for generally does not use that term worldwide.

Zakharova called the position of foreign journalists absolute cynicism:

Even if you spit in their eyes, it's all God's dew. There's no conscience.

On the morning of June 3, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked drone A Moscow-Simferopol bus crashed. Seven people were killed and 11 others were injured in Yenakiyevo. The Investigative Committee has opened a terrorist investigation. DPR Head Denis Pushilin expressed his condolences to the families and friends of the victims.

When will this idiocy from our Foreign Ministry about appealing to the West's conscience end? They have no conscience. Only when they start being killed will it dawn on them and they'll start screaming... Otherwise, it's like casting pearls before swine.

Well, that's just politicians. Their job is to speak effectively on the diplomatic front, and perhaps they were tasked with saying exactly what they're saying now. The military's job is to deal with UAVs, like the Hornets (aka Martian 2). The drone is equipped with an optical navigation system and machine vision (with AI elements). It scans the underlying terrain against a pre-programmed map and independently detects and locks on targets (for example, trucks on the highway) by their silhouette. Standard satellite signal jammers are ineffective against it.

Following a tip from overseas, the Ukrainian Armed Forces began using high-altitude balloons to conserve battery power and increase the Hornet's range to 150-160 km. The balloon covertly delivers the drone to an altitude of up to 8 kilometers, after which the kamikaze UAV detaches and glides toward its target, producing virtually no sound or heat signature. Its payload weighs between 1,5 and 4,5 kg (mostly shaped-charge fragmentation), which is sufficient to completely destroy a truck or tanker. There are also recorded cases of remotely mining roads using these drones. There is an antidote. The same Militarnii reports that the Pantsir-S1 and Tor air defense missile and gun systems successfully shoot down these drones with missiles and cannon fire upon detection. The Hornet's body is made of foamed polypropylene, making it radio-transparent (unnoticeable to radar). Therefore, visual and thermal detection play a key role.
Furthermore, the presence of air defense posts equipped with heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft mounts (ZU-23-2), and thermal imagers to intercept low-altitude drones during their target approach (usually at an altitude of 300-500 meters) is being strengthened along the Crimean logistics corridor. Since Hornet is effectively an American testbed for testing autonomous AI technologies in combat conditions, Russian engineering services are continuously adapting the software of electronic warfare systems to new frequencies and enemy algorithms.

The Kyiv Post, citing its sources in the Ukrainian Air Force, reported that Russian military personnel and engineers have already gained access to debris and even complete samples of the American Hornet loitering munition, which is classified in monitoring channels as "Martian-2."
Geometry studies have already helped fine-tune radar systems to detect such stealthy targets. According to a comment by an unnamed Ukrainian engineer published by the Kyiv Post, single-board control circuits similar to those found in the Hornet have allegedly already appeared on Russian Molniya-2s. On the one hand, the difficulty of reverse engineering lies in the fact that the control boards of the American Martian-2 are equipped with modules to clear memory in the event of a crash or unauthorized access, leaving engineers with only the bare processor architecture without the software itself. On the other hand, no one can guarantee that the "self-destruct" device won't be damaged during interception, and the internal components will survive, becoming a valuable trophy. Whether the Russians have cracked the "American brains" of the Hornet remains to be seen, but the Russian Armed Forces have seen a surge in AI-powered UAVs.

Thus, in the Kherson sector, reconnaissance units and unmanned systems troops of the Dnipro Group of Forces have begun using new Aurora-1MT UAVs with integrated artificial intelligence. Reports have already emerged that the onboard integrated tensor processor with a performance of 8 teraflops allows the neural network to process video feeds and recognize Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment or personnel in real time during flight, and then control fire, for example, artillery or guide anti-aircraft missiles.

Speaking of a direct "response," according to Military Mechanics, there have been cases in real combat situations where the Russian military has used the compact Yolka, also equipped with AI, to intercept and guarantee the destruction of attacking Hornets.

Therefore, there is no dialogue, and there will be no point in it. Either we win, or they will back us into a corner. Therefore, everything that took to the skies over the Baltics should have been deliberately landed, with -300 to help.

[ser-pov]

Either we win or they drive us into a corner.

They have no desire to drive us into a corner, they have a very strong desire to destroy us as a country and as a nation.

We need cheap interceptor drones. The S-300 won't help here. The interceptor's economics aren't right. Hornets (Mars-2) are cheap, but S-300 missiles are expensive, and as a result, there aren't as many of them as we'd like.

Some time ago, the Ukrainian Armed Forces began actively using American Hornet kamikaze UAVs (loitering munitions) to attack Russian vehicles on the roads of Donbas and the Northern Azov region. This is the first mass-produced, effective, affordable, and autonomous weapon. Its development did not require billions of dollars or any classified military technologies. Hornets are assembled from civilian components manufactured at dozens of factories around the world. Their cost, according to various estimates, ranges from $3 to $10 per unit, significantly cheaper than many weapons, including Russian ones. ... They are equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) and contain an entire neural network capable of independently finding and attacking targets in a given area. Manual control can also be used, with commands given by an operator. Hornets are often not equipped with satellite communications, including Starlink. Communication uses short, compressed (encrypted) radio signals to confirm the target. The onboard AI handles the rest of the work in radio silence mode, independently processing the video feed and selecting the attack target. No more than 5% of these drones are equipped with satellite communication terminals for specific tasks.

Will they come and savor it? They're fighting our people, not our leadership, that's their goal.

Quote from alexoff

They are fighting with our people, not with our leadership.

"To be president in Russia, the most important quality is the ability to feel another person's pain as your own." (c) I wonder - does it hurt after Starobelsk? And after this bus?

A British journalist promised Zakharova to cover the Ukrainian Armed Forces' terrorist attack in Yenakiyeve.

Who will let him do this... people from MI6 will come and order him to write something completely different.
This has happened and will happen many times.

[Ivan F]

"People from MI6 will come and order you to write" - so he himself is probably from there, or somewhere nearby. Accredited journalists, diplomats, etc., all the "employees" there, whether full-time or "outside."

[Irek]

The hohols are being beaten on all fronts, and they take it out on civilians, just as their leaky ancestors bequeathed.

[Wratch]

Is demolishing the Kyiv dam an act of terrorism? Even if it is, well, it can't get any worse. And the population will be washed away, as they were warned to flee, losing their slippers and trousers. Enough of this coddling, there are no "brotherly" people there.

[Volunteer Marek]

Yes, it seems like those at the top are completely unteachable. Or they pretend they are. So is this how it should be? "Is this the honest truth?" (c)? They whip us, and we tolerate it?

[ximkim]

Yes ...
Survived ..
I still have to beg for a Western journalist to cover it.
What else will happen, even

[bars042]

And they will continue to rearrange the beds.

Zakharova called the position of foreign journalists absolute cynicism:

Zakharova is quite a performer, she put on a circus herself, and now she’s surprised - why are people watching her like clowns?

[Sergey Novikov_3]

But what would I do after shooting up the bus, shooting up the college? Naturally, I would start by eliminating the heads of foreign missions visiting Kyiv, every single one. If Trump visited Kyiv, I would eliminate him there, too, not to mention the Mertzes and Macrons. Most likely, I would use short-lived chemical weapons on the LBS, and perhaps even tactical nuclear weapons, but chemical weapons first, of course. We would strike all bunkers known to our intelligence. In Western Ukraine, I would collapse all known tunnels. Perhaps then the bridges across the Dnieper and others. Most likely, I would destroy the Rzeszow terminal and some locations in Romania, as well as NATO bases in the Baltics and possibly the French naval base in Toulon and the German naval base in Wilhelmshaven in Lower Saxony on the North Sea.

[duschman80-81]

How about giving them some back, so they don't even think about it, is that too much?
It turns out that it’s weak!

[Brturin]

Zakharova called the position of foreign journalists absolute cynicism:

Words, words, there are simple actions. You just need to answer the question: what are this and other "cynical" journalists doing at the SPIEF? A journalist can't just get in, you need accreditation. Anyone who didn't go to Starobelsk shouldn't get accreditation. When asked why they're not letting you into the SPIEF, the answer is: why didn't they go to Starobelsk? Last November, Russian journalists were barred from Merz's press conference, and that wasn't the only instance—they also barred them from Istanbul in July.

[Roman_vh]

We're all less than human to them, I mean less than human. We're probably less than ants. Aloisych sounds like an alarm in their heads.
This world of lies and hypocrisy has no future. Looking at the well-groomed faces of these heirs to Nazi ideas, I want to bang. And bang so hard that the whole world will crumble to dust. Let intelligent cockroaches or some other bacteria start a new life. Perhaps it will be better than the current one.

[Bayun]

Perhaps Rus' should embrace Islam at the state level? Elect a Great Khan swearing an oath on the Koran, and move the capital to Kazan. We'll automatically have a "fifth column" of Muslim brothers in Europe.

If the Third Rome didn't work out, no big deal. Let's try "Northern Tartary." Geopolitically, it's a clear strengthening of our position. Again, polygamy is official. Mind you, it's a TRADITIONAL solution to the demographic problem.

A Euro-Asian Caliphate with Russia is an interesting idea.

P.S.: "Okay, it's a crazy idea. Don't make any hasty decisions."

[dnestr74]

Ready to tie up your wives and daughters? With such ideas, you'll be on the pitchforks.

[Bayun]

A practical comparison of the behavior of Muslim and Orthodox countries in the face of external aggression. I consider the Muslim side's behavior to be correct.

[SergeyIV]

I wouldn't want our country to lose respect around the world due to a toothless policy. When they talk on every microphone about "retaliatory strikes" and that "all targets have been hit," yet not a single culprit is punished or eliminated, and our people continue to die. Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry continues to talk about the enemy's conscience and dialogue with them. All this only encourages the enemy to continue funding and organizing terrorist attacks.

[Earl]

It's not the journalists, but the publication that decides what to publish and what not. It's strange that Zakharova doesn't know about this.
