The Russian Defense Ministry says it has recovered and analyzed the fragments of drones used by the Ukrainian military to stage a “terrorist attack” against Russia's Black Sea Fleet in the Crimean Peninsula, coming to the conclusion that the unmanned aerial vehicles were equipped with “Canadian-made navigation modules.”
The Ukrainian attack was carried out near Crimea’s Sevastopol port with 16 drones early on Saturday, with the Russian military saying it had managed to repel it.
“Specialists of the Russian Defense Ministry jointly with representatives from other state agencies examined Canadian-made navigation modules of the marine drones. Based on the results of data retrieved from the navigation receiver’s memory, it was established that the marine unmanned aerial vehicles had been launched from the coast near Odessa,” the ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
According to the statement, the drones had moved along the "grain corridor" security zone before changing course to head for Russia's naval base in Sevastopol, the largest city on the Crimean Peninsula. "This may indicate the preliminary launch of this device from aboard one of the civilian vessels chartered by Kiev or its Western patrons for the export of agricultural products from the seaports of Ukraine."
The Russian Defense Ministry said shortly after Saturday’s drone attacks that Moscow was suspending its participation in a United Nations-brokered deal that allowed grain exports from Ukraine amid the deteriorating global food crisis.

In the absence of long-term strategic vision, and amidst the progressive imperial expulsion from Eurasia, all that’s left for the Hegemon is to unleash chaos from West Asia to Europe and parts of Latin America – a concerted attempt to Divide and Rule BRICS and thwart their collective drive affirming sovereignty and the primacy of national ...
While NATO may be yearning to take on Russia in the Arctic, many of its troops lack the necessary expertise for survival in such extreme conditions.
Although NATO forces regularly participate in drills in the region, many remain unprepared for the harsh realities of Arctic life.
Though NATO forces routinely participate in the bloc’s drills in the region, many of them are still not prepared to survive in the Arctic’s harsh conditions, The Sun reports citing Minna Alander, a researcher at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs.
"Not all NATO allies have the capabilities that are needed and that work in the Arctic environment and climate,” Alander said.....more below
