On the night of March 1, ten unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down over the Crimean peninsula. The attempt of a massive UAV attack on Crimea was confirmed by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
“An attempt by the Kiev regime to conduct a massive drone attack on the objects of the Crimean Peninsula has been prevented. Six Ukrainian unmanned strike vehicles were shot down by air defense and four more Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were disabled by electronic warfare. There are no casualties and destruction on the ground,” Igor Konashenkov, the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, said at a briefing on March 1.
The footage revealed that at least one of the UAVs was likely the Chinese-made commercial Mugin-5 UAVs packed with explosives. They were already used for the attacks on the Russian Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol before.
During the drone attack, a US reconnaissance drone “RQ-4B” was spotted in the Black Sea region. The NATO military is always coordinating Ukrainian attacks on the Russian territory.
According to the Russian military sources, the UAVs were intercepted in the northern and western regions of Crimea, near the towns of Krasnoperekopsk, Tarkhankut and Yevpatoria. The UAVs were reportedly launched from the Shkolny airfield in Odessa and the Krasnoglinsky near the village of Artsiz in the Odessa region.
The attack was carried out immediately after the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine claimed that Kiev allegedly was not behind yesterday’s massive drone attack on the Russian regions.
“Ukraine does not strike at the territory of the Russian Federation. Ukraine is waging a defensive war with the aim of de-occupation of all its territories. This is an axiom,” the Ukrainian official said.
Moscow’s reply to another lie from Kiev was short and clear:
“We don’t believe him,” the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said.
The best part is “four Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were disabled by electronic warfare”
Just as curiosity: what would USA do if someone send over them armed drones? The RQ-4B is a LEGITIMATE TARGET, USA are coordinating drone attacks against Russia. This is far worse than to send a ‘recce’ balloon over US territory. And USA did shot down it. So why the RQ-4 is still flying?
While your argument is true Russia still has nothing to gain from shooting it down, it would only lead to an escalation Russia doesn’t need. If Russia is winning then why would they do something that would most likely escalate the war into something far worse that will only cost more resources, that would be plain stupidity.
Take the most effective and highest value target when the opportunity presents itself. Never allow the enemy to be able to recognize any patterns in your defense systems. Choose the retaliation carefully and most unexpectedly. Then kick their nazi teeth in.
Be a shame if an AWACS got a missile up its arse.
Yeah, that’s right.
This is exactly my question too. I must wonder how naive the RF is..
This must be the great offensive, to take back Crimea. :) Looks like zelensky is going to need more drones to send to Crimea. Some of these drones will probably make a return journey sometime in the near future. Maybe these drones have a ‘return to base’ feature?
More expensive targets for the russian army to shoot down next we will find out if a lancet can kill a leopard…
Teraz je na ťahu RF!!! Verím, že im tiež pošlú zopár svojich dronov. Ozaj ako sa dostal Čínsky dron do rúk Banderovských fašistických svíň? Totoby bolo dobre zistiť.
Inching closer to war with NATO.
If US do it again, Russia will retaliate by killing more young men in Kiev command centres in Donbass.
well, the RF should kill more young men in Kiev command centres in Donbass ANYWAYS
Taking Odessa!

Smack an Ukro-nig for Jesus, boys!
Perhaps the time is come to hit the bastard`s nest in Kiev government block with 1-2 tactical nuclear charges! Bet that after the action the survivors (if any) would calm down.
from intelslava about the situation in Bryansk this morning: “-We need operational groups that will deal with the targeted liquidation of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the political leaders of the Kiev regime. So that no one in the ranks of the enemy sleeps peacefully, even in the rear areas, even in Eastern Europe. Ukraine is now like Al-Qaeda for us. It is clear with the front line, but political liquidations should become one of the types of counteraction to the Kiev regime.” I agree with them, let’s nuke Kiev government district!
“Ukraine does not strike at the territory of the Russian Federation”. But keep in mind that, in Kiev’s view, Crimea doesn’t belong to the RF….
The Russian Pantsir is a cheap solution for drones, it can target 50 drones at the same time.
Last night the Russian air force used thermobaric bombs on the ukie boys, they suffocated within a full mile radius.
NATO’s funeral procession started at soledar and is now slowly & steadily moving towards final destination
