Fire Point CEO Yryna Terekh showed how the FP-1 deep-strike drone launches. A small booster containing 4.5 kg of fuel lifts the drone to roughly 20-25 meters before separating, with a mechanism directing it away from the propeller as it falls. #Ukraine

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

Ukraine's Ombudsman confirms this video as genuine, protesteing to the UN + ICRC. It's said to show Russian military, having removed their uniforms, using the elderly, infirm & kids, as human shields as they retreat in Kupiansk. Ukraine's troops filmed this but withheld fire.

112 drones were fired by Russia during the day today. Ukraine stopped 77 of 83 regular Shaheds (min 92.8%), and 18 of 29 jet drones (min 62.1%) At least 2 drones were still flying. So, the maths says a maximum of 15 hits but that information was not disclosed.
