I’m confused. Surely Luna-25 is now on the surface of the moon, no? Sounds like a successful landing to me!
I’m a bit sad, as I’m a fan of space exploration and would like to see all such efforts succeed. I have witnessed lot of Ukrainian schadenfreude on Twitter today, though, and I don’t begrudge them a bit of it.
In news more relevant to the war, a rumoured Ukrainian drone attack yesterday on Soltsy airbase in the Novgorod region 650km inside Russia has been confirmed to have caused minor damage to a Tu-22 strategic bomber. This is one of the aircraft used to launch cruise missile strikes on Ukraine.
I’m not sure why Russians keep posting BDA reports for the benefit of Ukrainian intelligence, but it seems they quite reliably do.
