While the summer heatwave is still ongoing, russians are already panicking about the coming winter. If you remember last winter, their district heating systems are out of service because they were last maintained when Stalin was still alive, and since then they're lost a lot of power substations and oil refineries. And nothing has been repaired, because tsar poo-tin declared that money should only be spent on breaking Ukraine, not on fixing russia.
The Russian army has started using new ammunition for FPV drones in Ukraine. They can be called new conditionally, since they are homemade and created from sections of a hose with a powder charge used in the UR-77 "Meteorite" mine clearing units, also known as the "Snake Gorynych". Details in the video.

Just another example of why russia wants to confiscate all of its troops' phones. The financial incentive of hundreds of thousands of rubles shrinks a lot when soldiers keep telling they're not actually getting paid. Also that they're not treated for their wounds and are thrown into pits for no clear reasons.
This shouldn't be a surprise. real inflation in russia is huge, and the government is increasing its income by raising fees and duties everywhere. So...
Medical personnel in russia get paid very poorly, their studies were very expensive, and in addition they get sent to the frontline as an "internship"... Yeah, russian healthcare is going to be great.
Well, that didn't last long. The "massive" naval exercises that russia claimed to be doing are already over. Pretty sure that when "the collective West" does massive naval exercises, they last longer than a couple of days.
