Russian FPV drone strikes against Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment. New footage from January shows Russian FPV drones in action in Ukraine and the Donbas. The FPV drones used in combat include VT-40, Prince Vandal Novgorodsky, and other models, including those controlled via fiber optic cable.
Footage of the Russian Lancet kamikaze drone's combat use in Ukraine in 2025. A total of 100 episodes are shown, but this doesn't include all the drone's uses; we've previously covered some of them. The Lancet-51 kamikaze drone is used most frequently, while the Lancet-52 kamikaze drone is used much less frequently. The video shows Lancet kamikaze drone strikes against Ukrainian military equipment in the Donbas and Ukraine.
Footage shows the destruction of a Ukrainian M142 HIMARS MLRS by an unknown new Russian weapon. The video was filmed near the village of Khlopianiki in Ukraine's Chernihiv Oblast. The Ukrainian M142 HIMARS MLRS was located 75 km from the Russian border and fired in the direction of the Bryansk Oblast. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported the destruction of the Ukrainian HIMARS MLRS by a Geran drone. However, in the video, the shape of the munition does not match that of a Geran drone. Furthermore, the munition used is rocket-powered, possibly a new type of Geran drone. Some speculate that a new hybrid drone and S-71M Monokhrom missile were used. The HIMARS MLRS was hit by two strikes; the first strike set the HIMARS on fire, causing the crew to abandon it. The second strike destroyed the HIMARS MLRS.
