-----------------------
Keep in mind, the numbers of missiles launched may be slightly higher than what I've listed, as the number of missiles detected is sometimes lower than actual launches.

Submission statement: While the blockade remains in effect, the plan to escort ships through the Strait is 'paused', according to Trump. The justification is supposed to be a progress in negotiations with Iran.
The more interesting part is what Marco Rubio said to reporters at White House - the 'Operation Epic Fury' is over.

Given what happened last year, one can safely assume it's not over at all and this is just a pause to rearm before the next round of war starts again.

Ukrainian TG channels report 12 dead, 16 injured.

>The Special Tribunal being set up will prosecute Russia for the same crime of aggression that Nazi German leaders were found guilty of in the Nuremberg trials at the end of World War II.

We are really not going to avoid WW3, are we?

Note to mods: since this is related to Russian drones, I used RU POV, even though the source is a Ukrainian TG channel and the video was (presumably) filmed by Ukrainians as well.

Text from TG (autotranslated)

>The "Geran-2" has received a new fuselage and a launcher for air-to-air missiles.

>The Alabuzsky plant, which produces the "Geran-2" UAV, has manufactured a new body specifically for the integration of air-to-air missiles.

>The R-60 missile is placed on top of the fuselage and is connected to the aircraft by a specially manufactured launcher (in the photo, behind the missile). A separate recess has been made for it in the body. That is, if we previously saw makeshift mounting, now it's a serial factory solution.

>On these modifications, combat units are not found, and a modification of the fuel tank design has also been noted.

>The "Kalashnikov" concern announced the start of serial production of the unified smoke grenade RDG-U. The first batch has already been delivered to the state customer.

>The RDG-U is positioned as a means of operational camouflage to shield personnel, small units, and equipment from targeted fire.

>The declared feature is a combined principle of operation:

>- first, the explosive section triggers, which quickly forms a dense smoke cloud

>- then the smoke (smoking) part is activated, which maintains the curtain of aerosols

>It is also stated that the weight of the grenade will be approximately 700 g. The body is made of composite material.

>SBS missiles hit 4 Su-57 and Su-34 aircraft at the "Shagol" airbase in Chelyabinsk, Russia, 1700 km from the Ukrainian state border.

>Freedom-loving Ukrainian Birds on April 25, 2026, paid a courtesy visit to the "Shagol" military airbase in Chelyabinsk, Russia

>As a result of satellite reconnaissance, the General Staff confirmed the impact of at least three deep strike weapons with varying degrees of damage on the following combat aircraft:

>•2 units of Su-57 fighters
•1 unit of Su-34 fighter-bombers
•1 unit of Su-57 modification

>*UPD on the satellite image, the remains of a destroyed aircraft servicing vehicle, which was located between the Su-57 aircraft, were recorded.</b>

>**The destruction of multi-purpose fighter-bombers Su-34 and fifth-generation fighters Su-57 is of critical importance for reducing the enemy's strike potential. The Su-34, as the main strike

>platform, is capable of carrying a wide range of guided bombs and missiles, delivering strikes on critical infrastructure, military objects and civilian targets from a distance of up to 1000 km. Each destroyed Su-34 means a reduction in the number of

>air strikes, saving the lives of civilians and reducing the burden on air defense systems. The Su-57, as the most modern Russian fighter with reduced visibility technologies, poses a particular threat to aviation and air defense systems. The estimated price of one Su-34 is $35–50 million dollars. The cost of the Su-57 is $100–120 million dollars per unit.
