Russia Provided Hamas, Iran With Satellite Intel, Drones, Captured Ukraine Weapons

Evidence is emerging from multiple sources that Russia provided Hamas and Iran with satellite-based reconnaisance and intelligence that may have included active interception of Israeli signals that prevented Israel Defense Forces from responding more quickly to the Hamas attack. 

If true, this raises the stakes for opponents of Russian aggression and may, finally, drive Israel to take a stronger stand against Russia and in support of Ukraine. JL 

Ukraine Pravda reports:

On September 24, a Russian spacecraft capable of conducting radio-electronic reconnaissance and intercepting satellite signals was moved to Israel's geostationary orbit. FPV drones were used against armored vehicles. "No one other than people who passed through our (Ukrainian) theater of war could do such a thing. Since we were not there, it means that it was the Russians." Trophy weapons from Ukraine were also transferred by the Russians to the Hamas group, mostly infantry weapons. - Is there a Russian trace in this story? - Budanov: Yes. First of all, we clearly know that trophy weapons from Ukraine were still transferred by the Russians to the Hamas group. It is mostly infantry weapons. There is some information that something was going to Hezbollah, but we don't know for sure at this point. Everyone could see the video on social media - a completely, let's say, natural for our region and completely unnatural for the Middle East tactic, when FPV drones were used against armored vehicles. This is the know-how of our war after all. No one other than people who passed through our theater of war could do such a thing. Since we were not there, it means that it was the Russians. Two more interesting facts. First: a little more than a week before the start of these actions, the Russian station "Sputnik" began to officially speak in Arabic on the territory of Lebanon. This is broadcast in an absolutely propagandist style with clear Russian narratives. Second: on September 24, a Russian spacecraft capable of conducting radio-electronic reconnaissance and intercepting satellite signals was moved to Israel's geostationary orbit. Let me 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 were several, shall we say, wishes from the Iranian side. One of them concerned the expansion of intelligence capabilities. It is now clear what intelligence information the Russians began to provide to all interested parties. I emphasize that it is not Iran alone, but all interested parties. - Israel is currently conducting an operation in the Gaza Strip and can take it under full control. Under such conditions, how will Lebanon, Iran, Egypt behave? – Budanov: The most difficult question. What we believe will happen is a more or less rapid entry of the Israel Defense Forces into the Gaza Strip, the restoration of order and, as they usually do, an equally rapid withdrawal. But the Hezbollah organization, which is mostly based in Lebanon, and certain parts of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from Iran have directly stated that if the Israeli Armed Forces begin to enter the Gaza Strip, they will start their ground operations from the north and northeast. It is meant from the territory of Lebanon and the territory of Syria. A lot of disparate units are moving across the territory of Syria closer to the border with Israel. Hezbollah is all mobilized now, everyone is also pulling up to the border. A few days ago, there was a visit of senior representatives of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to Hezbollah in Lebanon. It is quite clear that their units will also participate in this."
