Russia Threatens To Strike Israel-based Drone Production Firm by FreeStuffsNG(op): 5:08pm On Apr 16
Haifa-based firm identified as supplying critical communication modules for drones, according to Russia, which claims such components enable remote control systems used by Ukraine’s unmanned aircraft

Russia has threatened to strike drone production facilities across Europe supplying Ukraine, including a Haifa-based company identified by Moscow, as fighting intensifies and European support for Kyiv expands.

Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, said such facilities constitute “legitimate targets” for the Russian military. In a post on X, he accused European countries of escalating the conflict by significantly increasing drone production in cooperation with Ukraine.

Medvedev said European governments decided in late March to expand unmanned aerial vehicle production, including through increased funding for joint ventures with Ukraine, effectively turning Europe into a “strategic rear” for Kyiv.

Separately, Russia’s Defense Ministry published a list of sites it claims are involved in manufacturing drones and related equipment for Ukraine. The list includes facilities in major cities such as London, Munich, Prague and Riga, with components also produced in Madrid and at several locations in Italy, including Venice.

According to Moscow, Ukrainian drone manufacturers operate branches in eight European countries, with additional components supplied from countries including Germany, Turkey, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic and Israel.


The list names Elsight, an Israel-based company with operations in Haifa, as supplying cellular connectivity modules described as critical for communication and remote control of unmanned systems.

There was no immediate response from the company or Israeli officials to the Russian claims.

They want to defeat Putin through the back door and using Iran as a decoy.

Trump blew up factories that Iran use to produce and supply drones to Russia, now it is the turn of Russia to blow up factories used to produce drones supplied to Trump.

Welcome to the world of tit for tat elemi lo ma last.

Meanwhile, Trump has bowed to the demand of Iran that a ceasefire must hold in Lebanon before another round of talks

Should Putin do that it'll be a dangerous escalation towards global tensions...... Israel might want to fight back to make a statement against violating their sovereignty but they're hardly a match for Russia.

Their relationship might go further downwards as well......Putin should ensure that he has exhausted all diplomatic platform to get Israel to stop aiding Ukraine(that's if this report is true) before resorting to use of force.

Smh.

You are naive. Putin is not dumb. He knew Trump's war on Iran was targeted against him and waited it out for the west to burn out their interceptors and expose their hypocrisy at the violation of international law by Trump who decapitated the leadership of a country that is not at war with it.

Now, Putin will do exactly what Trump did and heaven will not fall. Putin will blow up strategic military assets in nations not at war with it.

The west always think others are stupid not knowing that they are the butt of jokes. The western population is the least resilient and likely to sack their leaders by the time Putin descends on them.

Meanwhile, Trump's so called blockade is as useless as the p in psychology

Drones are now a major part of modern warfare...


Drones have really given Russia significant problems in their war with Ukraine. Same as Iranian drones gave the United States problems unenvisaged previously.


Prove that some of these armies are now obsolete, not as modern as we thought and would struggle with modern warfare!

Medveded is a Russian propagandist. He likes heating up the polity. He sometimes posted that Russia will attack Europe, but till now we still waiting for the attack on Europe.

He cannot attack USA. He cannot attack Israel now. The USA would be weakened from within by Islam in years to come. This will make her not support israel anymore.

Two scenarios may play out.

First:
Russia may not attack israel now, but it will as Magog in the future.

Second:
Russia may attack Israel and be dealt with. This will anger Russia and prepare ground for the war of Gog and Magog.

Iran will not try Israel again till the war of Gog and Magog.

Adopting the Iranian style, US really suffered

Iran heavily damaged the following during the war

US Navy 5th Fleet Headquarters
(Bahrain): An Iranian drone strike destroyed
at least two AN/GSC-52B SATCOM

terminals and multiple radomes, causing an estimated $200 million in damage.

Shuaiba Port (Kuwait): An Iranian drone destroyed a structure housing US personnel, leading to the collapse of the building's roof.

Prince Sultan Air Base (Saudi Arabia): Strikes destroyed or heavily damaged several radomes and a radar component for a THAAD air-defence system.

Umm Dahal (Qatar): A critical $1.1 billion early-warning radar system was damaged, significantly reducing regional surveillance coverage.

Camp Buehring (Kuwait): Multiple drone strikes caused destruction to maintenance areas and fuel storage facilities


They didn't spare the below as well

MQ-9 Reaper: A total of 24 units have
been lost as of April 9, 2026. Approximately 10 of these were shot down while conducting ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) or precision strikes, while others were destroyed on the ground at bases like Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan.


MQ-4C Triton: On April 9, 2026, a high- value Navy surveillance drone valued at approximately $240-$250 million crashed or was shot down in the Persian Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz. abcnews.com

Helicopters and Rotary-Wing Losses

Helicopter losses were most prominent during Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) missions or ground attacks on regional hubs. Wikipedia

CH-47 Chinook: At least two were
destroyed. One was confirmed destroyed on the ground in Kuwait by an Iranian drone strike on April 3, 2026.


MH-6 Little Bird: Four units were destroyed

You completely understand the game.

US and UK will be weakened by Islam and that will be their fall. But I doubt Isreal will fall even if they loose support from US and other allies. Isreal will always stand.
Re: Russia Threatens To Strike Israel-based Drone Production Firm by fineboynl(m):
Iran uses russia manpad to bring American aircraft down. Thats when I know something is coming for Russia.

Trump have been trying to avoid russia war.

Israel can assassinate putin if they want to. You can’t take that from them.

But it might leads to nuclear war depends on who takes over. Which the world is not ready for.

Lol... Israel and sovereignty in the same sentence sounds weird.

I'm guessing Putin is just trying to make Trump understand he doesn't have the monopoly of invading countries he doesn't agree with. That's what happens when a precedence of madness is set by a mad man. I strongly doubt Putin will go ahead with it though. He's not an unhinged POS.

Putin is a nice guy. I trust the Iranians IRGC qud force because they would have bombed that facility without warning just as they destroyed US bases.
Re: Russia Threatens To Strike Israel-based Drone Production Firm by Blunt99: 5:56pm On Apr 16
He won't...

Definitely not now, and not in 5 years to come.

Others may not retaliate

But Israel will definitely retaliate, not minding if Russia is stronger than them.

So, this remains just a threat that won't materialize (anytime soon).

OP is too emotional to have a rational take on the current international conflict.

Ones he sensed that a news supports his bias, he run along with it without even minding if it is a propaganda or mere threats.

He sounds like a Teen most times,

If Putin strikes them, nothing will happen apart from sanctions and noise from the west.
Any attempt to strike Russia will lead to their collective obliteration.

Fact. And when you add Cyber Warfare to the mix, no one can predict the outcome of an all out war anymore.

A situation in which one side with a brilliant hacker or hacking system can paralyze the tech of the other side really equalises alot.

They could find common grounds because Russia needn't strike Israel directly....all they have to do is to arm her enemies with stronger weapons.

Nothing is coming for Russia. Europe have been supporting and funding Ukraine since the fight between Russia and Ukraine started.

Trump is not only avoiding confrontations with Russia, he dreads it.
