Ok, twi. What do you say?

Top secret 2.0. Belarusian military propaganda decided to pass off the engines of Tu-214 aircraft as “nuclear munitions”?

Today the Belarusian MoD published a video from the meeting of the new Russian Defense Minister at Machulishchy airfield.

In the video, propagandists of VoyenTV show landing, taxiing of the plane, and the ministers. But the model of the engine installed on the Tu-214 of the Russian Aerospace Forces for some reason was blurred in the video, and it’s the PS-90A – a Soviet/Russian turbofan engine developed by the Aviadvigatel Design Bureau in the 1980s.

Apparently, the editors of VoyenTV decided to once again create a mystery for the audience in such a way. Or, for example, to show that the new Russian minister brought something very important with him to Belarus right under the wing.

RT @NOELreports: Satelite images emerged of Kushchevskaya airport after it was attacked by Ukrainian drones. Indeed a Su-27 fighter jet was destroyed, also a Su-34 fighter was damaged. Another Su-30 could also have taken damage, but this remains unclear from these images. https://twitter.com/NOELreports/status/1792456483839324655#m

RT @elinavaltonen: Finland is closely monitoring the situation after the removal of light buoys by Russia on Narva River. Russian action in the border river is yet another unfriendly act that is aimed at creating confusion.

Our solidarity is with our close friend and ally Estonia, @Tsahkna. 🇫🇮🇪🇪

RT @akihheikkinen: In Solna, Sweden a break-in attempt to restricted state compound (not named which agency but not the security police). Perpetrators came and fled with a boat. Guards intervened and apparently perps pulled guns and fled.

RT @kromark: 1/5 Finally, the aftermath of the Ukrainian UAV strike on the Kushchyovskaya air base in Krasnodar Oblast, as seen in a HR @planet image from May 23rd. 1 Su-27 is destroyed. 1 Su-34 is also heavily damaged. The Su-30 near the destroyed Su-27 might be damaged as well.

@PanzerJo: I think most of Ukraine is outside the coverage of Armavir and the ballistic missile warning network in general.

While there are overlapping coverage to the south, this strike means a degradation.

@FRHoffmann1: What benefits do you see from this strike?

There aren't many targets I think should be off limits but among them are nuclear C3I (include the early warning radars here), nuke warhead storage sites, SRF and SSBN bases and NPPs.

LRA is fair game as they are directly involved.

@moklasen: These sites usually doesn't have any AD but such a gamble comes with a real risk of derailing any attempt at making the White House lift the restrictions on hitting Russia proper.

@FRHoffmann1: I think this could derail the attempts at getting the White House to lift the restrictions on hitting Russia proper, while providing little actual benefits for Ukraine.

A caveat here is the actual coverage over Ukraine from Armavir as this is close to the edge.
