  • Article is new enough and long enough. AGFing on all sources as I don't speak Russian. I take that the Ministry does indeed use a CC license for the image attributed to it? Hook is interesting and supported in article, although I wonder if it could be shortened by using piped links rather than spelling out the name of the weapons systems. QPQ is fine.
