Kharkiv residents have published footage of strikes by Russian Geran-2 drones. The drones targeted the city's Industrial District and the 330 kV Losevo electrical substation. The drones also disabled the Ukrainian Thermal Power Plant No. 3 in Kharkiv's Nemyshlyansky District. In total, approximately 25 drones were used, and strikes were also carried out on other targets in the city.
Footage of the results of an unusual attack by a Ukrainian "Baba Yaga" drone on a Russian Buk-M2 air defense system. For an unknown reason, the drone's warhead failed to deploy, and it simply landed on the Buk-M2 air defense launcher. In this state, the Ukrainian drone traveled 15 kilometers and was delivered to the rear of the Russian army. The video has been shortened.
Footage has been released of a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile striking a Ukrainian drone assembly plant. It was not possible to determine what drones the facility was assembling. The drone assembly plant was located on the premises of an industrial facility in the Korabelnyi district of Kherson. It's worth noting that the strike occurred during daylight hours, suggesting the plan was to also target the personnel.
Part 16 of my blog series on the Ukraine war. I take a deep dive into Russia's order of battle and deployment.
Some interesting video's and an account of the reality of the new drone dominated battlefield.

Ukraine war - part 16
A Russian soldier fights five Ukrainian soldiers. This is a scene from a fight between a Russian soldier with the call sign "Mio," from the 60th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, 5th Army, and five Ukrainian soldiers. The name of the Ukrainian unit has not been released.
The video was filmed during the battle for Novohryhorivka in the Zaporizhzhia region. A Russian soldier, spotting Ukrainian soldiers in a building, throws a grenade into the building and opens fire with small arms. After two soldiers are killed, the Ukrainian soldiers decide to retreat, but are ambushed by a Russian soldier. Three Ukrainian soldiers, wounded, are killed in a field by Russian drone strikes. The video has been edited, and the drone attack and the soldiers' deaths have been removed.

Guerre en Ukraine : avec deux millions d'obus produits par an, l'Europe touche au but
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)War in Ukraine: with two million shells produced per year, Europe is reaching its goal
The European ammunition industry is experiencing a renaissance. With massive financial support, annual shell production will increase from 500,000 to two million by the end of 2025. Rheinmetall and Eurenco are among the main beneficiaries.
Is the ammunition shortage in Europe, which was so widely criticised two years ago when Ukraine appealed to Europeans for more shells, finally coming to an end? With the support of the European Defence Fund, the European Commission adopted the Ammunition Support and Production Regulation (ASAP) in March 2023. Under the impetus of former European Commissioner Thierry Breton, European countries agreed to pool just over €500 million to subsidise the revival of a munitions industry in Europe.
The situation was becoming critical, with a ratio of one Ukrainian shell fired for every eight Russian shells, while the stocks of European armies were running low. The ramp-up aid decided in Brussels was allocated in the form of grants to more than 30 projects in the production of explosives, powder, shells and missiles. The European Commission's stated goal at the time was to reach an annual production capacity of 2 million shells by the end of 2025, whereas the ammunition industry in the Member States was not expected to exceed 500,000 rounds per year in 2023.
Russian aircraft struck an underground temporary Ukrainian army base with a FAB-3000 aerial bomb. The FAB-3000 bomb, equipped with a UMPK module, was dropped by a Su-34 fighter-bomber. The video was filmed in an industrial zone near Kupyansk.
Footage of a Russian VT-40 FPV drone striking a Ukrainian UAV control center containing an ammunition depot. The Ukrainian ammunition depot was located in an abandoned building near the village of Monachynivka in the Kupyansk district of the Kharkiv region.
Footage of a Ukrainian convoy of armored vehicles destroyed by Russian drones. The video was filmed in the Pokrovsk area, on a section of the road leading to Dimitrov. In Ukraine, the town is known as Myrnohrad. The video shows approximately 25 destroyed armored vehicles. It's worth noting that some of the vehicles had been destroyed earlier.
Footage of four Russian FAB-500 M62 bombs equipped with UMPK modules striking positions of the 43rd Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army. The footage was taken in the village of Kurilovka, south of Kupyansk. The bombs were dropped by a Su-34 frontline bombers
The first footage of a Russian Lancet-51 kamikaze drone attacking what is presumably a Ukrainian APKWS air defense system. The APKWS air defense system was developed in the US using unguided 70mm Hydra rockets. The missiles are guided by an optoelectronic station. This version of the air defense system is mounted on a DAF truck chassis. The air defense system is designed to engage drones at a range of approximately 5,000 meters when used on a ground-based version. As a result of the Lancet-51 drone strike, the Ukrainian APKWS air defense system launched its missiles unintentionally. The video was presumably filmed in the Sumy region of Ukraine.
A Russian special forces unit storms a Ukrainian army stronghold. The video was also filmed by a drone. In the video, the 16th Separate Special Forces Brigade of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Ministry of Defense storms the positions of the 63rd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army. The video was filmed on the approaches to Krasny Liman. Since 2014, the Ukrainian army has built a multi-layered system of strongholds and fortifications around Krasny Liman. During the assault, special forces use small arms and grenades.
Vladimir Putin mentioned territorial gains of 5,000 km² in Ukraine.
On the 1,250 km front line, that is an advance of 4 km in one year.
4 km/year = 10 m/day = 45 cm/hour = 0.00045 km/hour
This is the famous Russian snail that Russian propagandists keep telling us about.
Except that the speed of a snail is normally 50 m/h.
We are talking about a normal snail. Not an Olympic snail or one doped with EPO.
So a normal, healthy snail is 100 times faster than the Russian army.
We can deduce that the Russian snail is particularly sluggish, anaemic, exhausted, decrepit, depressed, malnourished, senile, and so on.
THE SECOND STRONGEST ARMY IN THE WORLD IS 100 TIMES SLOWER THAN A SNAIL.
That's not exactly the hypersonic speed they boast about.

An episode of a battle between Russian reconnaissance troops from the "West" group of forces. During a mission, a camouflaged Ukrainian army observation post was discovered, which led to a firefight. The video was filmed in the Kupyansk district of the Kharkiv region. As a result of the battle, according to the video, one Ukrainian serviceman from an unknown unit was killed. The video has been condensed.
A combat sequence involving two Russian T-72B3M tanks in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region. The video was filmed in the Krasnoarmiisk sector. In the video, two T-72B3M tanks fire at Ukrainian army strongholds located in a forest belt. It's worth noting that tank battles no longer exist in Ukraine. Modernized T-72B3M tanks began to be produced in 2022.
Ukrainian military personnel filmed a Russian FPV drone attacking a Mitsubishi pickup truck used by the Ukrainian army for military purposes. The location of the footage was not disclosed. It's worth noting that the pickup truck is equipped with electronic warfare systems. Despite Ukrainian soldiers' attempts to shoot down the FPV drone, the drone ultimately destroyed the truck.
Russian Geranium drones struck a Ukrainian brewery and a Nova Poshta warehouse in the city of Nizhyn in Ukraine's Chernihiv region, Ukrainian media reported.
