Japan Warns Russia Over Violating Airspace, Fires Flares for First Time
Tokyo mounts a more aggressive response than in previous incursions by Russian planes.
TOKYO—Japanese jet fighters fired warning flares at a Russian military reconnaissance plane that violated Japan’s airspace on Monday, the first time Tokyo has taken such an aggressive stance against incursions of its airspace mostly carried out by Moscow.
A Russian IL-38 patrol plane entered Japanese airspace three times between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. local time Monday as it flew over waters off Rebun Island, the northernmost part of Japan’s major Hokkaido island, Japan’s chief cabinet secretary, Yoshimasa Hayashi, said.
Tokyo has lodged an “extremely stern protest” with Moscow for the violation, Hayashi added.
Russia’s Defense Ministry didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
On Monday, Japan’s air force scrambled F-15 and F-35 jet fighters in response to the first airspace violation, and the jets began firing flares during the third one-minute incursion by Russia around 3:42 p.m.
It was the first time Japan’s air force has fired flares since it started deploying only defensive measures against airspace violations in 1958.
Japanese Defense Minister Minoru Kihara said the air force took the action only after issuing warnings to “the opponent.” He refused to comment when asked if the Russian patrol plane was flying with other Russian aircraft. The plane wasn’t undertaking particularly dangerous actions, he said.
Excellent quality satellite images of the consequences of the drone attack on the arsenal near Tikhoretsk in the Krasnodar Territory of ruzzia
It can be seen that train wagons with ammunition were being unloaded at all affected ammunitions warehouses during the strike.
A very well chosen time.

👀 A real thriller from the soldiers of of the K2 battalion of the 🌜 54th Brigade, who have taken occupiers prisoner with the help of a drone more than once. After a failed assault, a Russian soldier spent a whole week in a trench without food or water and miraculously survived several drops from a drone. Later, he crawled out and asked to be taken prisoner
A UAV operator with the call sign "Staiher" dropped him painkillers, water, and a note with instructions. During the crossing, Russian artillery tried to finish him off, but here too he was incredibly lucky
Totally unreal news

The death of dinosaurs 65 million years ago was not caused by an asteroid. An asteroid could not have caused such enormous damage.
Dinosaurs became extinct due to the fall of debris from a Ukrainian UAV!
⚡️Ukrainian forces break through another section of Russian border, 95th Brigade claims.
Ukraine's 95th Separate Polesian Air Assault Brigade said on Sept. 23 it had broken through another section of the Russian border.
The brigade published a video purporting to show the breakthrough of engineering barriers, the crossing of airborne assault units into Russia, and the first battles near the border.
