Fifth Column Activity in Occupied Ukraine
Interesting article from Newsweek. Rear area security and anti-partisan activity saps combat power, or it can.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has deployed nearly 35,000 national guardsmen to curb Ukrainian resistance in occupied territories under Moscow's control, according to Kyiv's Nation Resistance Center (CNR).
The Kremlin currently occupies large swathes of south and eastern Ukraine, where Putin has established illegitimate Russian districts after holding sham elections in the fall of 2022. Ukraine launched the CNR in March 2022 following Russia's full-scale invasion a month prior. The CNR, under the direction of Kyiv's Special Operation Forces, helps coordinate and train Ukrainian partisans living under Russian occupation.
According to the CNR, Russia's National Guard—also known as the Rosguard—is the "second-most important component" of Putin's forces in occupied Ukraine. Those deployed to the territories are tasked with suppressing Ukrainian civil resistance by "filtering activities among the civilian population and identifying members of the underground movement," according to Ukrainian sources.
As of January, at least 35,000 Rosguard members have been sent to occupied territories. About half of Putin's guardsmen have been organized into "regular formations," Kyiv's military said, including a brigade, five battalion tactical groups, and 44 tactical groups. The other half of the Rosguard is made up of guardsmen who were transferred from Russia's Special Purpose Police Detachment and the Special Rapid Response Unit, read a release from the CNR on Sunday.
Those deployed from Russia come equipped with tanks, artillery systems and helicopters to "use this entire range of weapons to subdue those who disagree with the Russian occupation," said Kyiv's resistance center. Putin's guardsmen also reportedly played a role in protecting the polling stations used during Russia's illegitimate elections in occupied Ukraine in September 2022 and 2023.

Oops! Russians shot down a Ukrainian [sic] #drone and provided nice photos - but it is a Russian Ghoul repeater drone. I had planned to discuss a Ghoul drone previously: the Russian report makes this post much more detailed.…

Maybe an option for supporters? Is there a build a drone for the Ukraine campaign?
Tabs please !
The problem is that a rogue builder can fit a tracker and hey presto, Vlad knows where the drones are being stored.
Amateur drone builders can buy some of the nav hardware, extremly cheaply from Ali Express and others.

Putins nephews house has mysteriously burst into flames

The first downed 🇷🇺Russian kamikaze UAV Shahed-238 marked "MJ 0", given the "M" series, the drone is probably manufactured in Iran and it is not known whether the Russian Federation will localize its production.
