Good to see. Russian mines are a problem for all. (They should have allowed the Ukrainian sweepers in too.)

An FSB agent group, which included two military officers and their accomplice, were detained in Odesa

The agents were searching for the locations of air defense systems that cover Odesa. In case of detection of "necessary" targets - [they] covertly photographed them and marked the corresponding geolocation on Google maps. The traitors also installed camouflaged wireless magnetic cameras on the territory of the seaport of Odesa.

For conspiracy, enemy agents used cab services, and their accomplice disguised her appearance by constantly changing wigs.

The traitors face life imprisonment.

Bad news if true

https://www.focus.de/politik/etikett...260100640.html

This article- quoting the „RIA-Novosti“ news agency - claims that the Russians have captured an intact ATACMS guidance system *. Serial numbers on the system supposedly show that it was supplied from a US Army depot in Alabama.

* not specified exactly what is meant

Can some of the more enlightened members explain why in the minesweepers photo three of the seemingly identical boats have very distinctive wake’s whereas the larger and the smallest vessels don’t?
Asking out of interest only.

Cheers

If they can improve their defense by this knowledge, they would have kept this secret. Or did any party distribute their knowledge of the newest enemy weapon in WW2?

It's the propulsion system. The three ex-RN Sandowns have Voith-schneider cycloidal propellers which are optimised for slow speed positional control. The other two ships have conventional props on a single shaft.

The RIA article, in Russian, refers to detonation functionality, not guidance.
