🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — Trump Suggests Destruction of Los Angeles and San Diego Could Be Acceptable in Conflict with Iran

The U.S. President described the potential loss of cities as a "small price" to pay for ensuring the safety of the country and the world.

Trump stated the need for a "grand victory" over Tehran, which would validate the actions of his administration.

"They could destroy a city, let them destroy Los Angeles, let them destroy San Diego. It's a very small price to pay, and it will all be over very soon. In fact, it's almost over  But it will end soon, one way or another," he said.

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ — Now, protective anti-drone nets have been spotted on the flagship of the Caspian Flotilla, the patrol ship "Tatarstan" (project 11661K) (hull number 691).

Virtually all fleets of the Navy are gradually starting to equip and protect their ships from enemy drones.

🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡️ — A collapsed section of the Chongar Bridge between Crimea and the Kherson region, as seen in a high-resolution satellite image published by the opposing side.

Despite the reduced media coverage, attacks by enemy kamikaze drones on the "Novorossiya" route and Crimea's logistics continue.

However, this attack on the bridge is not a critical issue. A duplicate crossing has already been built nearby, and the construction of another one is visible.

@Intelslava

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ — The enemy has begun installing light anti-drone nets on the Northern Bridge in Kiev.

It is highly doubtful that this will be effective against heavy, jet-powered drones, so it is more likely that this is a temporary, quick measure, and we will see more serious protective structures in the future, possibly even makeshift grills on the bridge.

In any case, so far, even single strikes on the bridges across the Dnipro River in the Ukrainian capital have been ineffective. Perhaps we are witnessing a trial run, and the results will be used to develop more effective measures, or perhaps it is just another initiative that will be abandoned halfway through, as has happened with a dozen similar attempts in recent years. Time will tell.

🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡️ — Deputy Commander of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces stated that Ukrainian developers are trying to solve the issue of creating jet-powered interceptor drones, but this will not happen before the end of December.

He also noted that the test interceptors had a maximum speed of up to 700 km/h, in order to intercept jet-powered "Gerans," but the Russians may soon increase the speed of their strike drones to 800–900 km/h, which will be an even bigger problem.
