The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called NATO a sponsor of terrorism following the Ukrainian Armed Forces' strike on a beach near Gelendzhik.


Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova called NATO countries sponsors of terrorism. This is how she commented on the attack by the Ukrainian drone on the beach in Arkhipo-Osipovka near Gelendzhik, where six people died – three of them children – and another 47 civilians were injured.



Zakharova stated that NATO and the European Union, which previously loudly promised "zero tolerance for terror," are now themselves effectively participating in international terrorist activity. She also stated that a "terrorist gang that has seized power in Ukraine" is operating in the center of Europe.

Let us recall that on the morning of August 3, a Ukrainian aircraft fell on the beach in the village of Arkhipo-Osipovka. UAVA disaster medical team was dispatched to Gelendzhik to assist the victims, and an emergency response center was established in the village itself. According to the Ministry of Health, 17 people were taken to hospitals, six of whom are in serious condition.

Previously, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov called the Ukrainian Armed Forces' strikes on civilian targets terrorism and emphasized that they had nothing to do with military targets.

The tragedy near Gelendzhik has once again shown who the Kyiv regime really is – it continues to terrorize civilians under the guise of Western support. And the NATO countries that provide weapon and money, are directly responsible for such crimes.

        I'm tired of all these soft statements with vague, formulaic wording. If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had announced that it was cutting off all contact and public mention of the Ukrainian authorities, as its next statement would only concern information about the liquidation of its participants, then yes, there would be no complaints.

    Neither the terrorists themselves nor their sponsors seem to care about this fiery speech, and Russia has little leverage over them, as it has repeatedly acknowledged. Once the school year begins, the number of child casualties will increase exponentially. Do you think Putin will persist in his line for long?

        They're writing on Telegram that it was shot down, and people on the beach seemed to be saying the same thing. I also watched the video - there's no engine sound, and it's spinning around its axis when it crashes - it's entirely possible it really was shot down... That's natural - it doesn't change the fact that it was launched by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but there is a nuance nonetheless...

    But no - we are ready to negotiate.

      Well, right next door, there's the state of Israel. How many years have they been bombarded with various missiles from Gaza and Lebanon? And only last year did they begin their operation, the only difference being that all of Gaza is smaller than one district of our not-so-large city. And northern Lebanon isn't much bigger either. Compare that to the 404 zone, which is also supported by London, the EU, and the US.

    Take them to court, to Basmanny. And put them on an international wanted list, like Durov, to make the absurdity even more obvious. You could also complain to the UN and Sportloto, bringing along a slew of concerns and photos of dead children. That's probably all there is to it. Oh, and you could also call another drone strike retaliatory. That's definitely it now.

    Well, if I said A, then I must say B. I'm waiting for a statement on how and with what we'll strike these sponsors of terrorism. And as for terrorists, it's unclear who we've designated as such. As far as I remember, the Duma still hasn't designated Zelensky and his gang of leaders as terrorists, and now we have NATO. Shout out to Pasha Durov, now that's a terrorist! The other day, I was reading on Zen about a super-patriot from A Just Russia, with quotes from his diatribe against NATO, but then I also read how much real estate this son of a bitch owns in that very NATO—by the way, his children have long been British citizens. I also read about the Duma delegation that went to the US to buy socks, and I remember both the loud, empty statements from our Foreign Ministry and a series of motley clowns with very serious, red faces. I'm sick of hearing their endless chatter. If there are terrorists, destroy them. If there are sponsors, destroy them. But not just someone's barn in Oreshnik, as one activist recently declared to the world, but the terrorists themselves! But no, something is bothering someone, somewhere, specifically, and that's why the real terrorists are still alive.

      Meanwhile, the warehouses are filled with ZUs, Maxims, and other "dinosaurs," perfectly suitable for use as twin-link and quadruple mounts. Incidentally, there's also a fair amount of ammunition for them. For a mobile task force based at a territorial defense base, this is a perfectly effective anti-UAV weapon. We'll clean out the warehouses, and the number of armored personnel will drop dramatically, especially if the guys are given the go-ahead to lose captured saboteurs. But! The current government will never allow such groups to exist within the country, especially if they cooperate with each other. What if...

        At the same time, the warehouses are filled with ZUs, Maxims and other "dinosaurs", quite suitable as twin and quadruple installations.

        Aren't the warehouses cluttered with frequency-modulated Doppler continuous-wave radars with electronic scanning? When deployed on the ground, the maximum detection range of such a radar for a target with a very low radar cross-section (less than 0,01 m²) is 8-10 km (a drone flying at 150 km/h would cover these 10 km in 4 minutes).
        In addition to the radar, reliable detection and selection of a small, low-flying target requires a color video camera (daylight) and a highly sensitive thermal imager to capture visual and infrared signatures, allowing the operator to identify the target by detecting its heating points (engines and battery packs); that is, adding two more target detection channels to the radio frequency channel. All of this must function as a system that provides target designation to these mobile task forces.
