1/ Allegedly a Ukrainian drone, literally chopping bits of his Ru counterparts..
Next step : full battles drones up in the sky..
(we expected to see this one day, since the full use of drones in diff modern armies, years ago..)
2/ As we are also witnessing, for some times now, huge amount of diff specific drones coming on the battlefield to the UA army (here 800 pieces given by Taiwan) or to the Ru army (from Iran) numerama.com/cyberguerre/10…
3/ and as this war will last for some more times, we could also see in the coming future, some specific drones, being able to fly in a specific "bubble" to protect & interdict any incoming threats before it reaches their aim on the ground.
imagine these "guns" (Elec Warfare)
4/ directly mounted under one of these beast (with special optroniques and dedicated software to recognize/identify Ru targets)
directly chasing the intruders..
and maybe one day with some UK "Brimstone".. or equivalent !-) Ru Helos would not fly no more.
6/ and of course China is far ahead in that game as they have 10 years advance on some western countries, on "civilian" drones. thedefensepost.com/2022/05/31/chi…
7/ let's hope that US/EU go faster
"To prepare for potential attacks using suicide drones, US Army acquisition division chief Col. Mike Parent revealed that the service is poised to issue a formal request for ideas regarding an anti-kamikaze drone system." thedefensepost.com/2022/10/13/us-…
9/ and in the meantime..
A UKR (UA) pilot destroyed 5 #shahed136 drones & cruising missiles/rockets in last couple days.
His plane allegedly just crashed today but he survived & he managed to lead the crashing plane away from the city of #Vinnytsia to save lives.
Impressive!

1/ Operational situation update/ #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on October 14, 2022
The situation is evolving in a positive way for #UAarmy in the #Luhansk area but Russians are resisting in a lots of places. Terrain helps to slow down the advance.
but UA still moving forward!
2/ The Kraken Regiment, SOF reported that they have officially liberated the settlements of #Kyslivka and #Kotlyarivka East of Kupiansk. now they are clearly heading as Ru reported yesterday to the next massive next defense line just before the main highway north of #Svatove
3/ so Ukrainian troops are now in control of the highway and railway just on the Kharkiv-Luhansk administrative limit (in purple line)
We are waiting for Kuzemivka to fall, and then the progress would be total in that area. #Svatove is not far on the horizon. (soon this map!!-)
1/ Operational situation update/ #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on October 13, 2022
The situation remains almost the same for the last week. #UAarmy is putting a really hard fight everywhere but Russians are resisting in a lots of places.
but UK still moving forward #UkraineMap
2/ in some areas like in the south of #Bakhmut , the situation is still evolving in favor or Russians even they they admit that the situation is very hard for them in #bakhmutske , they have now almost taken the entire "valley" south of the city but still struggle to take heights
3/ even "War Gogo" acknowledges it.
they can't go 500m deep in this area for the last 80 days !!!
we have to recognize that they are not giving up there..
really trying hard.
Dying for so little is really ridiculous ..... #pisky
as i see some "osintlol" sharing this with no real indepth analysis..
just a reminder that ; "as reported by the Russian media project iStories (or Vazhnye Istorii). One of the two sources of this information works in the FSB; the other is a former state security officer"
2/ this means NOTHING.
not a single artifact/paper we can work on..
just hear say..
also the best way for some people to spread mésinformations.
the last figure out there was 48k dead soldiers that seemed "legit". (even if slightly above other intel accounts)
so this could
3/ means only a "slight" diff from some previous account because 50KIA +40k severely injured... on a total of 150k wounded...
reminder :In September, the British Def Secretary Ben Wallace stated that RU army’s total losses exceeded 80k; of those, abt 25k were killed.
1/This is how Ru carries out air-to-surface and surface-to-surface missile attacks on the Ukrainian territory. The situation as of 10:20-11:00.
The enemy used air-,sea- and land based missiles; ballistic missiles; surface-to-air missiles; recce and attack UAVs of Shahed-136 type
2/ Air defence Assets of Air Force, Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine & our air defence units destroyed the majority of lethal missiles and projectiles. With such an intensity of simultaneous attacks from all directions, they have demonstrated professionalism & devotion
3/ to their craft. Ukr have to repel these attacks using soviet-era weapons which we possess an insufficient quantity of.
Security of Ukraine and the entire Europe – is in the skillful hands of our warriors.
1/ Operational situation update/ #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on October 8, 2022
The situation remains almost the same for now in #Luhansk. #UAarmy is still fighting hard but right now Ru are resisting pretty well in the defense line they have globally established. #UkraineMap
2/ there r still some Ukr advances recorded on several settlements & it is not as easy to deploy all the power needed past this river line and with small roads, only small units can act on some areas.
Not sure #Kreminna is one immediate target now as Ukr don't really push there.
3/ South #Bakhmut situation is still evolving in favor of Ru right now.
they are losing a lots of men, but are still making progress and are almost in total control of the heights west, past the valley.
but globally not threatening much out of that...
Hello there!
At around 5 AM Fire breaks out on bridge linking Crimea and Russia, causing ‘significant damage’ / even total destruction some claims. #Kerch bridge
2/ there are other videos showing the direct explosion & it seems to show indeed the total destruction of the bridge.
on 2 "stills" pic we can clearly see that the part of the bridge that support road has been totally "cut" (square section). but actually even on the back another
3/ section has been cut, and the structure of the bridge itself has been deeply impacted (yellow arrow) indicating a total bending of the main structure.
so even if the other half part seems "untouch" it is very unlikely (totally) that this part could be use in near future.
