1/ Russian soldiers in Ukraine face a "catastrophic" shortage of drones and personnel at the front, according to two Russian warbloggers. The Russian offensive is coming to a standstill with Ukrainian forces said to be outnumbering the Russians two or three to one in places. ⬇️

2/ Anatoly Radov compains that the massive Russian missile strikes against Kyiv over the weekend were a case of exerting the wrong kind of force in the wrong place:

3/ "The real problem with these expensive retaliatory strikes is that there's a catastrophic shortage of Mavics and FPVs on the front.

4/ "The Ukrainians outnumber us by two to three times, which is why the notorious spring-summer offensive has simply turned into a drawn-out, costly infiltration without much success. And in some places, with NO success at all, and the Ukrainians are even advancing.

5/ "But Putin was told that everything is going great with Mavics (and even Telegram needs to be shut down to reduce these "fraudulent" collections for Mavics), and that we're actually outnumbering the Ukrainians in FPVs, which is a complete lie.

6/ "Let me remind you. The enemy is advancing in the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Malaya Tokmachka has already become a Ukrainian meme. Soon they'll start making up memes about Stepnohirsk."

7/ "'Callsign OSETIN' echoes this complaint in a private post:

"It's really tough for our soldiers there; there are too many [Ukrainians]. I still don't understand where they get so many men. Our troops are fighting back, barrage after barrage, and these guys keep pushing.

8/ "I repeat, if we don't bring in drone operators or simply thousands of drones right now, things will get even tougher. And surrendering Stepnohirsk is a huge loss, believe me.

9/ "It's time to address this pressing issue in the direction—the shortage of drones—because several encampments near Stepnohirsk have already been surrendered, and at this rate, the news from there won't be good." /end
