More than 190 times in 2023, unmanned aerial vehicles attacked 🇷🇺Russia and the occupied Crimea, – BBC
UAV attacks took place in Moscow, Pskov, Bryansk, Belgorod and Kursk regions, in the Krasnodar Territory, as well as in the annexed Crimea. The targets for the attacks were oil facilities, airfields, and energy infrastructure.
🇺🇦Ukraine has never claimed responsibility for these attacks.
oh i just realized they are not testing for direct hits but wide area spread attack with small shrapnel. this will be very deadly to the troops on the ground considering how dense the area was hit.

Cardboard kamikaze drone test flights. On the night of August 27, these drones were reportedly used to attack Kursk airport. It is said four Su-30, one Mig-29 a S-300 radar complex and two Pantsir-S1 air defense systems were damaged during this attack.
Outside of Zavitne Bazhannya, Ukrainian forces from the "Omega" Special Forces Anti-terrorism Detachment targeted a Russian BMP-3 with an FPV loitering munition, causing a fire and eventual catastrophic ammunition detonation.
at least Ukraine is reforming and handling corruption and reviewing their judical system... can't say same about russia with Prigozhin the latest to fall out of the highest window.
the same can be said about russia needing manpower too...
Men over 50, many with serious illnesses, are being forced to serve in the 'Donetsk People's Republic' armed forces despite this being illegal and in defiance of legal rulings and orders. "We turned out to be third-class people without rights", says one relative.

Ukraine desperately lacking manpower / soldiers but many here cannot understand. 😅

Ya kah?
What is Ukraine's population count vs Russia population count? Same ahh?
i didn't say Ukraine is not looking for soldiers but they did full mobilization earlier and they have troops rotations and rest and better healthcare. can't say the same for russia where even a russian general complain about their soldiers not getting rest or troop rotations. compounded by the fact they need to transfer forces from other fronts to plug a hole instead of reserves...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is scrambling to complete the F-16 agreement. Zelensky is trying to get F-16 jets delivered to his country as soon as possible. This is because Kiev fears that shifting political sands in western countries could undermine the campaign to support Ukraine in its fight with Moscow. The big claims have been made in a sensational report by an American media house.
Ukraine has achieved "no success" in its offensive against Russia despite western aid. The "humiliation" has forced Volodymyr Zelensky to take steps in order to keep Ukrainians pumped. The Ukrainian President is likely to sack Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov. The sacking might take place next week, according to Ukrainian lawmaker Yaroslav Zheleznyak. While the minions get the blame, the leader of the puppet Bandera regime get scot free. A deceitful nefarious 🤡 that won the presidency election on the promise of peace but renegades upon gaining power.
The European Union has warned member nations against imports of Russian LNG. The EU has asked members to stop purchasing Russian liquefied natural gas. The European Union has also asked not to enter into new contracts for the fuel. The warning seems like damage control by the EU after recent "embarrassment." Data showed the EU’s imports of the fuel hit a record high in the first half of this year. The bloc bought over half (52%) of the 41.6 million cubic metres of LNG that Russia exported this year. Supplies weapons to Ukraine and yet imports LNG from Russia. 🤫
Ukraine's foreign minister has lashed out at western critics amid a Russian blitz. Dmytro Kuleba asked the critics to "shut up and go fight Russia themselves. The sharp reaction comes amid questions being raised over Kyiv's "flop show" on the battlefield. The issue of delivering more arms to Kyiv has put several western nations in a pickle. Russia has destroyed hundreds of western weapons on Ukraine's battlefield so far. Kyiv is now seeking U.S.-made F-16 jets, which three nations have vowed to supply. The Ukrainian Minister, along with the snide remark, also made an appeal to the West. The West should not tolerate any form of insolence from this puppet regime. Time to stop all aid to the ingrates. Meanwhile /k Neo Nazi Banderite sympathizers and sycophants says Ukraine is winning.
An incredible story of salvation, which in action, not in words, shows what it means - We do not abandon our own.
During a patrol in the Black Sea area by soldiers of the Artan special unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of 🇺🇦Ukraine, a 🇷🇺Russian Su-27 aircraft attacked a Ukrainian boat.
Due to the maneuvering of the boat, the fighter with the call sign "Conan" ended up overboard in the open sea. Being under heavy fire from the Russian aircraft, the Ukrainian boat was forced to retreat. But no one was going to leave the brothers to their own devices.
Almost immediately, Bayraktar TB2 took off in search of a fellow soldier, which found a Ukrainian soldier. Later, a group consisting of several boats was sent for evacuation, which tried to break through to the soldier due to the fire of Russian fighters. In the end, it succeeded and the brother was saved. He spent more than 12 hours in the open sea and survived. Artan said that Conan is now a legend not only of units, but of all special forces.
Hungarian PM, Viktor Orban is a Russian spy! Ukraine is WINNING, not losing! The Ukrainian Offensive is a triumphant success. All of Crimea are belongs to Ukraine before winter sets in!
