The hour hand moved to a new day on May 5th. Bridge protection means, incl. Air defense, copied a long time ago.
The last hundred thousand options in three-minute increments for changing the attack situation are being played out on the computer.
Hour "X" is already determined. Western intelligence agencies are known it. Obviously, the Russians also know a lot.

Everyone froze in anticipation. The countdown has begun.
