☣️The fable about “red mercury”: Kremlin intelligence services continue information operation in Syria

Another episode of the Kremlin’s information operation in Syria directed against Ukraine — Russian intelligence services offer on the so-called Syrian “black market of weapons” another mystical black box with two capsules, which allegedly contain dangerous “chemicals”.

▪️One of the capsules is inscribed: “PU.9424 U”, the other – “HG25 P307 9.99 U92”.

So, this time the Muscovites, in addition to the fictional “plutonium” [Pu ― plutonium], are reviving the old Soviet fable about the so-called “red mercury” [Hg ― mercury] – a substance that does not exist in nature.

❗️“Red mercury” is a fiction of the Soviet special services, which was used for a large-scale disinformation campaign in the Middle East in the 80s-90s of the 20th century. The legend about “red mercury”, created in Moscow and directed against foreign intelligence, claimed that this modification of the chemical element could become a material for making a “terrible” bomb.

The hacks from Lubyanka claim that the container they brought was purchased from “corrupt officials of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine” for “immediate sale”.

Also, along with the fake “elements” for making a “nuclear bomb”, the Russians in Syria are offering ten capsules with supposedly “unknown toxic gases” – in fact, these are reagents for an old chemical intelligence device, which agents of the aggressor state had already tried to sell earlier as part of an information operation against Ukraine.

“Nothing new and original - Russian special services operate according to the patterns of their predecessors from the 20th century. So the old mythology about “red mercury” indicates an aggravation of the genre crisis among the Kremlin’s special services. We see how Russia is helplessly “getting out of its pants”, sowing conspiracy theories in order to discredit Ukraine, destabilize the situation in the Middle East, in particular in Syria, where the criminal regime of Putin’s friend, Bashar Assad, has fallen. Ukraine is taking all measures, including through the line of military intelligence, to destroy these next hybrid plans of Russia”, - noted the representative of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Andriy Yusov.

⚡️ Rheinmetall's Skynex anti-aircraft artillery system in service with the Air Force shows impeccable results in destroying enemy strike UAVs.

We will keep the time and place a secret, but, as you can see in the footage, the productive work of the 35-mm automated anti-aircraft gun is quite inspiring for our sky defenders!

🤝 Thank you to our partners!

More Skynex - more protection from Russian terrorism!

🇺🇦 Together - to victory!

You are correct. I didn't realize they were mutually exclusive until I looked it up.

According to Russian media, a Su-34 fighter-bomber crashed near the city of Kulebaki. Two pilots managed to eject. One pilot died after landing on a tree. in c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz

There are two other "drifters" behind the car that crashed.

Two more BMW drivers were identified and brought to justice❗️

📍One of the drifters drove through the central streets of the capital, brazenly violating traffic rules and creating obstacles for other road users. The man filmed his aggressive driving and boasted of his "achievements" on social networks.

📍Another staged a "Fast & Furious" on the day when the enemy carried out a combined massive strike on the capital, killing 28 people and wounding 142 people.

Together with agents of the Kyiv City Police Department, we found the drivers, took them to the police station and compiled the relevant reports: in total, 20 citations were drawn up against the drivers for violating traffic rules, and information was also entered into the URPI for hooliganism. The investigation is ongoing.

This may come off as a rant, but there's been a spate of these incidents and it makes me sick.

There's no official public information, but it's estimated to carry up to 50 kg of C4.

I think this is the source of confusion:

Adalynn was, under a previous name, under US sanctions from March 2022 to September 2023, accused of being used for illicit shipments in support of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
