Ukraine's reports that strikes on Russian production and storage facilities of Shahed (Russian: Geran-2) strike UAVs reduced the number of their launches by a third in August, from 6302 to 4132.
1/ Militarnyi.comImage
The Russian practice of accumulating Shaheds for massive attacks every 3-4 days was also diminished, with the maximum attack in July of 728 drones reduced to 110 in August.
2/ Image
The Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant "Kupol" that produces chips for military drones was struck in July, destroying four production workshops.
The company completely stopped working.
3/ Image
On July 4, a facility near Moscow for the production of Shahed warheads was struck.
Fires and heavy smoke were recorded.
Also near Moscow the Krasnozavodsk Chemical Plant that supplies thermobaric compounds for warheads was struck.
4/ Image
A ship carrying components for Shaheds from Iran was sunk on Aug 14 by a long-range Ukrainian UAV near the pot of Olya on the Caspian Sea.
This logistics network allows Russia to increase the rate of production of Shaheds.
5/ Image
Also in August a logistics warehouse in Tatarstan 1300 km from Ukraine that stores completed Shaheds was struck twice.
Satellite images confirmed six hits on the facility, destroying large stocks of the drones.
6/ Image
Ukrainian intelligence estimates that Shahed production was 170 units per day, with plans to increase production to 190.
The losses caused by the various Ukrainian strikes may prevent this increase, and production may indeed fall below 170 units per day.

Ukrainian encrypted radio communications are all ready to defeat quantum computers.
Tactical mesh radio manufacturer Himera has partnered with Canadian cryptology company Quantropi to incorporate post-quantum cryptology.
1/ Image
The rapid development of quantum computing technology implies that the ability to break current cryptography methods is approaching.
Quantropi has developed special random-number algorithms designed to defeat even quantum computer attacks on Himera's encryption.
2/ Image
Himera has secured a government contract with an unnamed NATO country to supply their radios.
The system uses frequency hopping, a mesh cellular architecture, and low-power repeaters, which reduces the likelihood of detection and increases the network's resistance to jamming.

Russian blogger “Rybar” (Mikhail Zvinchuk) unfortunately is correct in this short summary of one the major capabilities that have been added to the “Geran-2” (Shahed) strike UAV system.
But he also reveals something important.

“Linked by a chain”
1/
“With each passing month, the "Gerani" become increasingly deadly and are equipped with technical devices that significantly enhance their combat capabilities. They now have network radio modems installed.
2/
“As a result, the drones can operate as relays and create a stable ‘mesh network.’ Among other things, this increases both the combat range of the devices and their resistance to interference.

The inevitability of autonomous drones and drone swarms is often dismissed with “microwave weapons will drop them all.”
EW and radio expert Serhii “Flash” reviews the state of development of this much-hyped anti-drone technology including the best-known, the “Leonidas” system:
1/ Image
“Electromagnetic weapons are being actively discussed online. Many different devices can be classified under this term based on their operating principles, but in my opinion, only the concept of directed ultra-high-frequency radiation looks realistic.
2/ Image
“This radiation induces currents in electronic components, causing them to fail or disrupting their operation.

Throughout the history of military technology, only one serial electromagnetic weapon system has been created by Russia, the ‘Ranet-E,’ which turned out to be…

Russian blogger Alex Kartavykh confirms that civilians are wary of signing very lucrative contracts because they know the Russian army consistently deceives.

“The issue is not with the civilian authorities, but with the employer — with how the Army has positioned itself.
1/ Image
“Since 2023, when contract soldiers for wartime were recruited en masse, many thousands of these contract soldiers have encountered deception from the employer and brought this knowledge home during leaves or after being discharged as disabled.
2/
“They shared with those around them — acquaintances, friends, simply interested applicants — how everything works. And it works like this:

— During recruitment, the Army promises a contract for 1 year.

Russian blogger “Atomic Cherry” argues that Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries will cause Moscow to perversely respond by forcing a reduction in consumption and the Russian economy itself.
1/
“Refined ideas about state governance imply the search for some highly effective symmetrical solution to any threat or crisis prospect.
2/
“Strikes on infrastructure should lead to the construction of a defensive perimeter; everything should be produced according to citizens' expectations to maintain their calm and well-being, necessarily organized and in the shortest possible time.

Blogger “Russian Engineer” reacts to “Madyar's” announcement of a big expansion of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces.

“So the enemy already has 5 brigades with a fundamentally new organizational and staffing structure (ОШС), which are based on completely different…
1/ Image
“…principles compared to the rest of the army. That is, those elements that do not fit well in a regular infantry unit (the Ukrainians also have stories of sending lazy drone operators to assault units) are gathered there together to work on interaction, …
2/
“…new tactical schemes, test innovations, and constantly invent something themselves.

On our side, Rubicon performs a similar function, and the enemy gets very nervous when Rubicon operators start working in some area.
