I can't sleep. Every night this past month, Russian drones are over Kyiv, often just outside my window that I wake up to their buzzing. In a new, twisted upgrade, they’re now armed with thermobarics—fire clouds that burn up all the air, and people, in any space they hit 1/

These drones basically randomly hit something on their way, sometimes an apartment, sometimes an office, sometimes even a playground. That happens both at night and during the day. Air alerts are non stop 2/

On my drive to work every day, I see air defense machine guns out in the open—stationed on roadsides, near rivers, and in parks. Dozens. Sometimes they shoot while traffic is driving around them. All of this has become ridiculously mundane 3/

It is impossible to live and function in underground shelter all the time. So many people continue to go about their lives as if nothing is happening. The only new change is that we now watch to close doors between rooms to hamper fire cloud travel in case of a hit 4X

Some people have asked for sources. Here are some links. They are in Ukrainian. They describe a new payload that is a mixture of a new generation of thermobaric explosive and shrapnel (2306 metal pieces). They payload is 54 kg
