Russian channels are now reporting that the intensity of fighting and HIMARS/Artillery/MLRS strikes in the Orikhiv direction has increased. For the first time, the Swedish supplied 'Archer' is mentioned by Russians.




"Dissatisfaction is rising in Russia. For several days in a row, military enlistment offices around the country have been attacked with molotov cocktails.".

still boggles my mind that the Russians aren't rising up against their "government" effectively sending them to their deaths, how is every recruitment office/officer around the country not on fire given the sheer number of dead and injured returning home to these places

They're docile sheep, who loved their big strongman of a leader when he was dumping cash on the Russian middle class, and therefore have fallen completely for the propaganda. He can gaslight them as much as he likes, because they put him where he is, and don't want to see what's actually happening, and what a fucking stupid mistake they made out of their greed and self serving outlook.

Scale of amputations in Ukraine reaches WWI level – WSJ

Since the beginning of the Russian military aggression, the number of Ukrainians left without one or more limbs has reached 20-50,000, which is comparable to the scale of amputations during the First World War.

China restricts civilian drone exports, citing Ukraine and concern about military use

China has imposed restrictions on exports of long-range civilian drones, citing Russia’s war on Ukraine and concern drones might be converted to military use.

It could be huge if China restricts the exports to the civilian market to export to just one side via back channels.

Yeah, not good.

There are a few serious drone makers in the west, so all is not lost.

At least 10,749 Ukrainian civilians, including nearly 500 children, have been killed since Russia invaded [Ukraine] in February 2022, Yuriy Bielousov, Ukraine’s lead prosecutor for human rights violations, said in an interview with Interfax Ukraine.
The number of confirmed deaths in Ukraine is just the tip of the iceberg, Bielousov said. He said the toll will increase significantly when Ukrainian territories are liberated, adding that the number of deaths in Mariupol alone is likely to be in the “tens of thousands.”

Remember the failed UA attack on the Black Sea fleet from a few days ago? Failed according to Russia that is.
Well, this is what one of the ships looks like. 😂



Edit: Maybe I was wrong. There was a separate attack this morning?



Anyway, happy days.

Lolz, how many millions $$$ warship taken out by a £250k drone boat, the sheer amount of money this war has cost Russia is staggering not to mention the toll on the economies of the rest of the world, you'd think someone somewhere inside Russia would put an end to this madness, is the entire inner circle of The Russian Elite so utterly evil and corrupt that they are happy to continue destroying their own country and countrymen over this pathetic excuse of a war... Ffs lads 1 bullet and it's all over

Russians have a new fear unlocked: as Dva Mayora reports, Ukrainians started dropping contraptions that imitate the sound of gunfire on Russian positions during combat, making them think they're encircled 🤣 But even more so, Russians found children's toys that "echo and repeat" any sounds they pick up to confuse the hell out of Russians and warn Ukrainians.

Russians are shocked because the only toys they got as children were sharp knives, cigarettes and vodka.

Lol, in no way huge.

There are a fair few civilian drone makers outside the PRC, and the definitely not PRC controlled drone makers won't want their competition to get good reputations.

Autel and Parrot are amongst the most well known, and have some decent products (that could be used for military use) already as it is.

Sure, but since when China is rational to the western/free market sense? They are 100% geopolitics above any market/economic sense.
IMHO the reason that they don't want their civilian drones in military operations is bollocks. So the main problem come to China having a huge industrial capacity in the segment that certainly could be used for them to exercise more influence in the conflict, even if it cost DJI some fraction of market share.

edit: Another russian surface vessel going for the special submarine landing operation :)

Robotyne-Tokmak axis: the first line of defence in the Surovikin Line has been breached. It follows the main line south of Robotyne. Robotyne is now a contested settlement, no longer in 100% Russian control.




Ukrainian surface and subsurface sea drones evolve so fast, because Ukrainians have help. Quite a lot, which guarantees that:
a) Gen 4 and Gen 5 are already being tested b) production lines churn out dozens a week. Soon every ship sailing to a russian harbor will be sunk.

True I guess. Havent find a good source for the actual translation what he said. Every source seems to be quite questionable. The site I got the screencap is now 404.
