Russian Military Falls for Elaborate Decoy, Humiliated by Lancet Drone Strike

A video showing a Russian Lancet drone striking a Ukrainian Su-25 ground-attack aircraft has been revealed to be an attack on an elaborate decoy. The decoy, designed to resemble the Su-25, was remarkably accurate and fooled initial reports of a successful attack. The incident highlights the vulnerability of Ukrainian aircraft, both in the air and at their bases, as they face the ongoing conflict with Russia. The use of decoys by both sides underscores the need for electronic warfare equipment and ground-based air defense systems. The longer-range capabilities of the Lancet drone pose a growing threat to the Ukrainian Air Force, necessitating the development of more effective countermeasures.

Romania Takes Action to Clear Danube Logjam Following Ukraine Attack

Romania is working to clear a logjam of around 30 ships from Ukraine on the Danube River following Russia's attack on Ukraine's main river port. The Danube and its mouth, which is Ukraine's last waterborne grain export route, are congested with vessels. Despite the attack, Romanian authorities still expect a peak in traffic in August. Russia's attacks on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure on the Danube are being investigated as potential war crimes. The drone strikes on Izmail have impacted insurance coverage for shipments through the Danube, and Ukraine is considering providing insurance cover for ships going through the "grain corridor."
