I'm sure Ukraine is a terrifying state to the Russians! These boys have a lot of cheap FPV racing quads with gifts attached. Cheap $300 suicide drones, a bargain compared to a switchblade in terms of cost and easy to obtain online in large numbers. A Russian propaganda tweet.

the entire world knows who the terrorist state is, quit wasting your time lying...you're going to need that breath when you're running away

looks like someone is making a new toy.......


according to reports it has a 1000km range as well.......could make the battle field interesting at best
They can make anything they want, there are no sanctions and some parts might be given as aid, airframes are easy to make from foam, fiberglass or composites and parts can be bought globally. A small team of engineers can work wonders in a short period of time with off the shelf parts ordered on the internet. They just need money and Canada just gave them an oligarch's 100 and some million bucks. Countries will sell them parts much more readily than complete advanced weapons systems that can reach inside Russia. They already have their own suicide drones and I heard they were buying cheap $10,000 drones from China too. A cheap Chinese drone can be upgraded once they get it with better electronics etc.

They are concentrating a lot of troops and equipment in a small area with Ukrainian artillary and HIMARS in range, they might have gained the ground, but they paid a heavy price taking it and will pay more once they do! This place is just chewing up Russian manpower and equipment while the ground freezes. Sure Russian guns are firing, but M777s with longer range and great accuracy are firing at them using counter battery radars and drones. Most Russian infantry casualties are caused by artillery and mortar fire, dead before they see the Ukrainian trenches in most cases.

Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Admiral James Stavridis tells Andrea Mitchell “Putin is really scrambling” to gain more “manpower” for his fight against Ukraine. “He's going to the prisons. He's going into homeless shelters. He's taking people in their 50s and 60s,” Stavridis explains. “Putin will take anything. It’s a sign of how difficult this fight has become for him."

yeah i came across a couple of posts like that, as well as post that Wagner is as well....one of the post said wagner is looking for another 20 to 30 thousand fighters......me thinks the tolls are hitting them hard as the chew up people and equipment......the tide is changing even though it's slow, it's changing.....

I think the Ukrainians look at the place as a great location to kill large numbers of attacking Russians from defensive positions and have turned it into a killing ground, until the ground freezes, then they will strike somewhere completely different and drive hard when the ground is frozen with a blitzkrieg offensive operation, or even two.

The cold was so late in coming, they may have lost the timing. But hopefully they can cut russia off from their supply lines. That is how they made the huge gains before.
