“While the topic certainly justifies a lengthy discussion, most experts and analysts will likely agree that 2024 and 2025 were the war’s worst years for Ukraine.

“The Russian war machine, fully awakened to the realities of a drawn-out conflict, re-engineered its approach and achieved important operational advances in the roughly two years between the fall of Avdiivka and that of Pokrovsk.

Russian nationalist and Z-blogger Vitaly Voronov is disgusted that Ukrainian drones have reached Omsk, well to the east of the Urals in Siberia.

“Well, after Ukrainian drones started reaching Siberia and striking the Omsk oil refinery, I believe in Vladimir Putin even more.

“He’s a genius. I’m proud of the president and his team! Thank you for the iron dome over our heads! It’s so wonderful to live in such historic times!

Napoleon Bonaparte couldn’t reach the Urals under Alexander I of Russia, …

“… the Germans under Joseph Stalin couldn’t reach the Urals either, but only Vladimir Vladimirovich and his entire team decided to make history by bringing drone warfare to Siberia so nobody would get bored!

“The target is not the launchers, but the eyes

The primary objective of ‘Polyphemus’ (the codename for the operation in the Bryansk region) was the network of small airspace surveillance radars.

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!

“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.

“ ‘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?

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.

“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, …
