Whooo, hold the front pages.... A game changer?

The most important advantage of this drone is its artificial intelligence, which allows it to penetrate Russian EW defenses.

Long thread covering the recruitment method, reception and much much more…..https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1...307533482.html

Several Africans were injured in a Ukrainian drone attack on Tatarstan. Russia is now exploiting the attack to spark anti-Ukrainian feelings. If anything, however, this incident can elucidate a gendered and racialized reality behind Russia's charm offensive in Africa…..

Specifically, they are invited to join the Alabuga Polytech college in the Tatarstan town of Elabuga. "Alabuga Start" participants are required to work more than study. In a nearby facility, students are involved in the mass production of what the college calls "boats."

The "boats" is just an euphemism for Shakhed drones, which Russia previously used to buy from Iran, but which it now produces itself in large numbers. Dozens of them are sent to Ukraine nearly every day, murdering people all across the country….

Rare footage of Russian barrier troops. Very stalinist.

Lol

Soldiers of the 67th Mechanized Brigade are repelling one of the largest attacks by russian armored vehicles in recent times near the town of Chasiv Yar. 32 armored vehicles took part in this assault, as a result of the clear actions of all units of the 67th brigade, 19 units of enemy equipment will not return to the base - all were destroyed!

​​​​​​​
2:06the russian air force came to the aid of the Ukrainian titans during the battle, clearly and precisely working on their own column.

It looks like a Russian airfield may have been hit.



​​​​​​​Morozovsk is an air base of the Russian Aerospace Forces as part of the 4th Air and Air Defence Forces Army, Southern Military District.

The base is home to the 559th Bomber Aviation Regiment which has three squadrons of Sukhoi Su-34(NATO: Fullback) as part of the 1st Guards Composite Aviation Division.[1][2]

The regiment arrived from Finsterwalde in Germany in 1993, still as the 559th Fighter-Bomber Aviation Regiment.[3]

The 559th was deployed to Primorsko-Akhtarsk (air base)as part of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[4]

On April 4th, 2024, the base was absolutely impregnated by Ukrainian drones.

What happens to a Russian if he raises his hands and tries to surrender?

They normally get guided to a position to surrender. What a stunning choice of music to accompany it.


Full video. Yesterday, near Bakhmut, a unique event of historic proportions took place. First, one of the "liberators", wounded by drops from drones, committed suicide by putting a grenade under his head. The occupier, who was watching all this from his hole, mad with fear and hopelessness, seeing how all his comrades died in the trenches from UAV strikes in a few hours, decided to surrender to the drone. Seeing a drone ready to destroy him, he raised his hands and showed that he was ready to surrender. The fighters of the CODE 9.2 group, already recognized all over the world as virtuosos in destroying occupiers using drones, decided to save his life and, with the assistance of the crew of the ACHILES UAV company, transmitted instructions on how and where to go [for occupier] by dropping the package from the drone . The invader read the instructions and went to surrender. His commanders, seeing from their drone that their soldier was surrendering, tried to destroy him with an artillery strike, but did not hit. Drone operators escorted him and handed him over to the valiant warriors of the 3rd Battalion of the 92nd Brigade. Now the invader, originally from the Pskov region, is safe. He, unlike thousands of others, will not be left to rot on Ukrainian soil and got a chance to be useful - to be exchanged for one of Ukrainian Defenders.

You might not see the above link so this is the shortened version. Haunting music.
