1. This is an update to an earlier thread on a curious Ukrainian #drone. Not much was known then about this drone but there is now a shaky video to analyse…..

​​​​​​​I would say the main fuselage section is a bog standard section of waterpipe machined down, or they have got the manufacturers to produced a thin walled section for them.

More on the amount of refineries hit by Ukraine, it is almost forming a supply barrier for Russia, meaning fuel has to be shipped in from further afield to support their war efforts.

One of the ships hit in the Sevastopol raid appears to be leaking fuel and is being towed to a dry dock.

Russia's latest attempts at anti drone protection, well either that, or they have a serious pigeon problem. It does appear to make sense but then surely you would tailor your attack to suit the conditions, I.e. vertically or on the lower extremities, unless they have horizontal spikes as well.

​​​​​​​Polish authorities plan to build surveillance towers on the border with Belarus

This was announced by the chief commandant of the border guard service of the Republic, Brigadier General Robert Bagan.

"It is about towers 70 meters high, which will be equipped with modern optical and electronic devices," Dziennik Gazety Prawnej newspaper quoted him as saying.

The towers will provide an accurate view of what is happening on both sides of the Polish-Belarusian border within a radius of 10 kilometers, the newspaper said.
