At the end of September, the Russians transferred a spacecraft capable of conducting electronic reconnaissance and interception of satellite signals to Israel’s geostationary orbit, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate said.
Some facts indicate a trace of Russia in the war of the Hamas movement against Israel. This was stated by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov, in an interview with Ukrainskaya Pravda, published on Thursday, October 12.
“First of all, we clearly know that the captured weapons from Ukraine are still being transferred to the Russians in the Hamas group. They are mainly infantry weapons. There is some information that some have gone to Hezbollah, but so far is that we do not know this for sure. ,” – he said.
Budanov gained attention in videos published on social networks using FPV drones.
“This is, let’s say, a completely natural tactic for our region and completely unnatural for the Middle East… This is the knowledge of our war. There is nothing else to do but people who have passed through our theater of operations military. it. Because of that If we have, it means that they are Russians, “believes the head of intelligence.
Budanov also said that more than a week before the start of the war with Israel, the Russian Sputnik station began to officially speak Arabic in Lebanon.
“It was broadcast in a completely propaganda style with clear Russian narratives,” he stressed.
In addition, on September 24, a Russian spacecraft capable of conducting electronic reconnaissance and interception of satellite signals was transferred to Israel’s geostationary orbit.
“I will remind you that in the period from September 22 to 24 there was an official visit of the Russian military delegation to Iran. We know that there are some, let’s say, requests from the Iranian side. One of them is concerned with the expansion of intelligence information capabilities. Now it is clear what kind of intelligence “The Russians began to provide information to all interested parties. I noticed that not only Iran, but all interested parties,” added Budanov.
Let’s remember that on October 7, Hamas militants carried out a massive rocket attack on Israel and entered its territory. In response, the Israeli army announced the start of Operation Iron Swords and daily attacks on the group’s targets in the Gaza Strip.
According to the latest data, 1,300 Israelis were killed and about 3,300 were wounded. Gaza’s health ministry reported more than 1,200 dead and 5,600 wounded. These data do not take into account the elimination of at least 1,500 militants in Israel.
