In Donetsk region, operators from the Raid Regiment struck a storage facility used for housing russian UAVs. The impact triggered a large-scale fire, with subsequent detonations indicating the destruction of drone stockpiles on site. Such strikes are particularly significant as they directly reduce russia’s ability to conduct reconnaissance and precision strikes using unmanned systems.
I really sincerely hope the Iran War de-escalates, but whatever happens it is hard to see Iran not coming out of this stronger even as it has payed dearly from this illegal war.
Soldiers from the 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade, named after Prince Roman the Great, used a drone to evacuate a cat and a dog from frontline positions.
Citing an agent embedded within Russian air defense units on the peninsula, the group said the current situation marks the most difficult period for Crimea’s air defense network since the start of the full-scale war.
the crew stayed under cover until the strikes stopped, then ran back to the tank in broad daylight, started the engine, and drove it out from under Russian observation, Khodak noted.
Russia’s geographical size poses an enormous challenge to defend, especially with traditional air defense systems on which the Russians reportedly still rely to protect against Ukraine drone salvoes.[8] The need to cover vast areas with air defense systems is reportedly straining Russian air defenses, especially given Ukraine’s extensive strikes campaign against Russian air defense radars.[9]
The limitations of available Russian air defenses and the challenges inherent in protecting large infrastructure facilities across thousands of kilometers of distance are hindering the Kremlin’s efforts to defend against Ukrainian long-range strikes.
This is the beginning of the end for the high effectiveness of shaheds for their cost, which isn’t to say they will go away but helicopters and to a lesser extent affordable fixed wing aircraft are nearly ideal for hunting waves of shaheds.
Trains must become C-UAS platforms, interestingly while the russian “Turtle Tank” is primarily a failure of a design, I believe “Turtle Trains” are here to stay.
Sorry Ukraine but you are going to need to give up the rest of the Donbas, we all know you would lose it to the overwhelming military might of russia anyways.
The Inguar-3 and Inguar-4 vehicles differ significantly from most models on the Ukrainian market due to their use of a proprietary chassis developed specifically to meet the demands and loads of military vehicles. The chassis production is almost entirely localized in Ukraine.
KRIP-A is already in use on certain types of Ukrainian artillery, including the 155mm Bohdana self-propelled artillery system, and has also been integrated with multiple-launch rocket systems such as the RM-70. The developer says it can be adapted for both Soviet-era and Western artillery systems.

Reflecting on the Russo-Ukraine War, I am putting together a timeline of the most relevant events in the Black Sea. This will not be exhaustive, but should provide a useful overview. Hopefully this will be of benefit to those interested in studying the war at a later date.
The centerpiece of the upgrade is the transmission, reportedly sourced from the BM Oplot. Its key advantage is a fully functional reverse gear, allowing speeds of up to 35 km/h. This greatly improves maneuverability and enables the crew to disengage or withdraw more effectively.
People hyperfocus on the distance numbers these howitzers are capable of, but to be honest given all the other long range strike capabilities Ukraine has, I am not convinced this is the most relevant use of them.
Say what you will about drones being terrifying, they are, but the idea of being ordered to assault a defensive line with 52 caliber 155mm howitizers terrifies me way more.
