1/ Ukraine's increasing dominance in drones is reportedly leading to individual Russian soldiers being attacked by 20 or 30 drones at once. Russian warbloggers say that Ukrainian drones are operating with impunity while their side faces a shortage. ⬇️

2/ A report by Russian news outlet RT says that as many as 20 to 30 drones are being used to attack individual Russian soldiers. 'Belarusian Silovik' responds: "Unfortunately, that’s exactly how it is."

3/ "What’s even worse is that in some areas, our side is conserving drones due to a shortage, while the Ukrainian Armed Forces can deploy 20–30 UAVs in a single sortie over a short period of time.

Right now, the average ratio of UAV deployment is probably 3 to 1."

4/ Dmitri Steshin writes of the experience of being in an environment saturated with enemy drones, and calls for Russian strikes against drone factories in EU countries:

5/ "It’s a well-known fact—and an unpleasant one—that over the past few months, the enemy has rapidly gained the upper hand in terms of drone numbers, both on the front lines and in our rear areas.

6/ "When drones appear near a rear-area bakery during an interview, and the people you were having a heartfelt conversation with just a second ago suddenly lose their train of thought, listen intently to the sky, and then start firing into that sky...

7/ "You say goodbye to your companions, drive home, and the first thing you come across is a quadcopter blazing hot under anti-drone nets. And in the evening, in Donetsk, you turn on the “spectrum analyzer.”

8/ "From 5 GHz on, the screen is red; all the signals won’t fit, and numbers appear above the waterfall, showing how many drones are on a specific frequency—a record: 12 of them.

9/ "You see it on the device’s screen and hear with your own ears how a Ukrainian relay station hangs over you for a full hour, transmitting a signal to drones at 1040 GHz, and then, after the raid, calmly flies away, having made a “lap of honour” over my district of Donetsk,…

10/ …the martyred city.

It’s better to think about why the enemy has pulled ahead and how to stop it. In my opinion, the Ministry of Defence made a good start by publishing the addresses of drone workshops in EU countries. But this is clearly not enough to solve the problem.

11/ "They didn’t start solving it in the right order, as far as I’m concerned. First, precision strikes—then publishing the addresses. That can be put on hold." /end
