Footage of a Russian Su-30SM fighter jet patrolling the Black Sea and dropping bombs on a Ukrainian naval drone. It's worth noting that these attacks on drones are not always effective and are quite dangerous, as naval drones can be armed with R-73 missiles. Despite this, patrols are carried out regularly due to threats to Crimea from Ukrainian aircraft.

BBC's man in Russia reports that proposed new law will give the FSB control over internet access:

The internet is used for commercial activity. Switching it off for 'security reasons' will be damaging for the Russian economy.

Expensive... but to put it into context, the Russian government spends that amount on the war in less than 3 days. Possibly Russia as a whole spends that amount on the war in less than 2 days if off-book costs are included (forced loans from banks, war costs imposed on regional rather than central government).

Yes, the war is very costly for Russia. These type of hits are more important than just their monetary value, as the jets take time to replace. But in the long term, Russia will lose the war when its economy will collapse.
