Russia has published a directory of Ukrainian FPV tactics with diagrams, and suggested countermeasures.
The descriptions are basic, but the 19 separate listings are a reminder of how flexible and valuable the FPV system has become.

Russian Igor “Strelkov” Girkin writes from his prison cell of his surprise and new depths of pessimism regarding the Special Operation after Ukraine's great raid on Moscow.

“Brothers, sisters, friends, and colleagues!
1/ Image
“I understand that my letter will not reach you for quite some time because, it seems, it will have already lost its relevance by then. Nevertheless, I believe it is necessary to write a few words about the current situation and my impressions of it.
2/
“ ‘The raid on Moscow.’ To be frank, even I—with all my ‘pessimism’—did not expect that the ‘partners’ (not mine!) would be able to do this so easily and… not with missiles, but merely with drones. And what happens when, or if, the missiles start coming?

In a blog entitled “Unthinkable,” Russian war correspondent and blogger Nikita Tretyakov is deeply critical of the results and consequences of Russia’s disastrous “special operation” in Ukraine.
1/
“Sergey Lavrov:
‘I don’t want to even suspect that Alaska, just like European actions, was designed to buy time for the rearmament of the Kiev regime, which would last longer than the First and Great Patriotic Wars.’

“How can I not agree with Mr. Lavrov — there are many things that are hard to think about, and I really wouldn’t want to think about them, for example:

Ukrainian Unmanned Systems commander “Madyar” has a message for the Bunker Grandpa in Moscow.

“Moscow and Bunker Grandpa will cling to Crimea until the very end, like it’s the main trophy of this war, even in ‘island’ mode.
1/ Image
“Of course they will. It’s the cornerstone of their ‘greatness’ ideology and comes with a whole pile of bonuses: the ‘Russia's internal Azov Sea’ and all that other crap.
That said, using Crimea as a launchpad to attack Ukraine is already pure military absurdity.

“From here on, the Freedom-Loving Ukrainian Bird’s borscht recipe is in full effect:
complete air-defense collapse, the remaining fleet getting more and more holes punched in it, the shadow fleet getting shut down, total resource and logistical exhaustion, …

Led by Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine is forging vital partnerships with America tech billionaires — such as Alex Karp of Palantir, Eric Schmidt from Google, and Elon Musk.
These collaborations will deliver a decisive advantage over Russia in AI-enabled systems.
1/ Image
Alex Karp wants to build AI systems that would give the U.S. a decisive technological edge in future wars.
Ukraine possesses a massive dataset and a rich library of real-world combat video that is highly valuable for training advanced AI models.
2/ Image
In exchange for access to this priceless dataset, Palantir has provided Ukraine with AI tools that process enormous volumes of battlefield data, significantly enhancing capabilities such as long-range UAV strikes.

Russian blogger “Rybar” claims that 60% of Ukrainian long-range strike UAVs are launched without a warhead.
Their purpose is to saturate Russian air defenses and force them to engage, because decoy UAVs cannot be distinguished from armed ones.
1/ Image
This way, expensive surface-to-air missiles are traded for cheap UAVs, emptying the batteries and steadily exhausting the total remaining missile resources.
2/
He also notes that even though Russia claims to shoot down 96% of Ukrainian drones, so many are launched that enough get through to cause great damage to facilities — far in excess of the cost of the UAV strikes.

Prominent Russian blogger “Veteran’s Notes” laments the “humiliating” failure of the State to provide heavy lift drones like the Ukrainian “Vampire.”
Instead, Russian frontline units must be supplied by human bearers and a handful of salvaged Ukrainian drones.
1/ Image
“Recently, our unit lost a trophy drone, which I mentioned earlier.

It served the Russian army faithfully for exactly one month.
1/
“By the standards of modern warfare, it was a long-lived device, as it flew several times in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and was then shot down, repaired, and given a second life.
