Putin might have to divert some of the air defense around his palaces if this keeps up.

A Russian armored vehicle opens fire on Ukrainian positions at Chasiv Yar and is taken out by a Ukrainian drone.

The first sign that something was wrong should have been when these two Russians saw the dead guy on the boat dock.

WARNING: One of the guys gets blown into the air near the end of the video.

To me, this is one of the results of drone warfare. These Russians are evacuating a wounded comrade. They hear a drone and immediately dump the guy and take off.

Are they offering him as a sacrifice to the drone gods?

Russia closes in on 600k dead/wounded.

Burn it down.

There are a few assumptions in this analysis that may or may not be valid, but if they are, the Kerch Bridge might need the world’s largest anti-drone cage.

x We know Ukraine now has F-16s.

We know they probably/hopefully also received JASSM.

We know there is no restrictions on using US made weapons within illegally occupied Ukraine, including Kerch...

When Russia previously shot down an ATACMS over Crimea the cluster bombs fell on a beach of Russian tourists.

It’s a good thing, as far as this war goes, that Russia is so corrupt.

x Military correspondent Romanov complains about the monopolization of the production of Russian FPV drones by the Sudoplatov company, which previously distinguished itself by supplying drones to the front with the same frequency, which the Ukrainians figured out and were able to… pic.twitter.com/ts2M4uEx9Y — WarTranslated (Dmitri) (@wartranslated) August 1, 2024

Let me remind you that they are making drones at the same frequency; the enemy found this frequency long ago and saturated the front with the appropriate electronic warfare. Currently, the focus is on quantity (rather than quality) of applications - as a result, most drones fly stupidly into the ground. But what comes to the top is beautiful statistics in numbers. Moreover, the merchants from "Sudoplatov - Doomsday" came up with a new schematosis - through the Ministry of Defense they are preparing and pushing for monopolization under the already crap "Doomsday" - maintaining a single standard for FPV and introducing a "ground control station - "GSU 2.0". According to their plan, all other manufacturers and suppliers (including volunteer drones) will be required to work only through it...

Birds of a feather

It’s amazing and touching to see how much effort is expended to rescue this cat.
