Kyiv residents have published footage of the flight of the Russian heavy drone Italmas. The Italmas drone was equipped with a Starlink terminal and conducted a reconnaissance flight over Kyiv for 4.5 hours. It is still unknown why Ukraine's air defense forces remained inactive for so long.
The use of drones and robotic platforms in Ukraine has become so widespread that the war in Ukraine has been called the first drone war. Footage has been published of Russian FPV drone strikes on tracked and wheeled robotic platforms of the Ukrainian army. Russian FPV drones, including VT-40 "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" drones, and other models, including those controlled via fiber optic cable, are being used in the fighting in Ukraine. The exact location of the footage is unknown.
Currently, robots in Ukraine are used primarily for transport. With the advent of artificial intelligence, robot warfare will look something like this. It's worth noting that in the future, even a small country could become quite powerful with a robot army. Afghanistan, which no one has ever conquered, could be controlled by robots and drones.

Zelensky is ready to meet Putin to discuss the two remaining issues of a peace agreement: territory and the Zaporizhzhia NPP.Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said this in an interview with Ukrainska Pravda.Asked about talks on ending the war held in Abu Dhabi with delegations from Russia, Ukraine, and the United States, Sybiha confirmed that two key issues remain unresolved: territorial questions and the future of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.Russia is demanding the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the entire Donbas, including areas not occupied by Russian troops. Kyiv considers this demands unacceptable. Ukraine is also insisting on the withdrawal of Russian forces from the plant, while the United States has proposed placing it under joint management with Russia.
Footage of Russian Italmas drone strikes on various types of Ukrainian Soviet-made radars. The video shows drone strikes on the 35D6 radar, the P-18MA radar, the 79K6 Pelican radar, the 36D6 radar, and the P-18 radar. A strike on a PRV-16ML radar manufactured in Lithuania is also shown; this is not the first strike on them. For these strikes, the Italmas drones were presumably equipped with Starlink terminals. In Ukraine, the Italmas drones are designated BM-35.
Footage of a Russian strike, presumably by an Iskander-M ballistic missile, on a Ukrainian army field camp. The video was filmed near the Lozovaya-Slovyansk railway, between the villages of Sadovoe and Burbulatovo in the Kharkiv region. It is not known which Ukrainian unit the field camp belonged to.
Footage of a Russian Su-30SM fighter jet patrolling the Black Sea and dropping bombs on a Ukrainian naval drone. It's worth noting that these attacks on drones are not always effective and are quite dangerous, as naval drones can be armed with R-73 missiles. Despite this, patrols are carried out regularly due to threats to Crimea from Ukrainian aircraft.
Footage of remotely planting mines in Ukraine using the Russian Zemledeliye mine-laying vehicle. The video was filmed in the Krasnoarmeysk sector. The mines were planted using 122-mm rocket-propelled grenades to block the retreat and supply routes of Ukrainian army units.
Russian and Ukrainian military casualties in war nearing 2m, study finds
Thinktank says about 1.2m Russians troops killed, wounded or missing to date and 600,000 Ukrainians
Footage of Russian Forpost-RU drones in action in Ukraine. The video shows a Forpost-RU drone using KAB-20 guided aerial bombs to attack two temporary deployment points for Ukrainian soldiers located in abandoned buildings. KAB-20 bombs weigh 21 kilograms, and their high-explosive fragmentation warheads weigh 7 kilograms. After the Forpost-RU drone strikes the building, the surviving Ukrainian soldiers retreat to the second building, but are also struck by a KAB-20 bomb as they enter.
Footage of a Russian M-28NM helicopter using an X-39 LMUR guided missile in combat in Ukraine. These missiles are also used by Ka-52 helicopters. The video was filmed in the village of Krasny Liman in the Donbas. The X-39 missile struck a Ukrainian drone control center located in an abandoned building.
