Interesting view from Ukrainian drone in Crimea - he meets face to face Russian Su-30SM as it takes off. I wish we had more tools to delete this jet on the take-off.

A russian Su-30SM gunning down a Ukrainian FP-1 over the Black Sea. First time I have seen the footage like this from Russian Su jet. 100% we have to be ahead and carry air-to-air missiles on our deep-strikes patroling the Black Sea.

North Korean Type 75 rocket launcher, destroyed in Ukraine by our friends 40th Artillery Brigade we helped so much since 2022. Eight kilometres of range used to be a useful tactical system. Now it is a death sentence for the crew.

Ukrainian T-84 of the 425th Assault Regiment "Skelya", wearing a cope cage. A tank built for tank battles, now dressed entirely for drones, and actually not present on the battlefield, along with Abrams, Leopard, Challenger... We hope for return of tanks.

Ukrainian-American Bumble Bee quadcopter acts as an interceptor with automatic target lock, destroying russian somewhat static quadcopters. Notice the same target lock as in other systems of Perennial Autonomy.

Ukrainian made VHF radar Burshtyn-1800, on a KrAZ chassis, spotted in 3rd Army Corps footage from their latest offensive. Radar, trucks, crews, all domestic. Very positive to have it, even if it's super rare. I hope to see more Ukrainian SIGINT equipment.

I just came back from the UK. I spent a week at Warwick Business School on the Ukrainian Veterans Leadership Programme, and honestly, it was incredible. Some of us still on active duty like me, some honorably discharged, many already civic leaders back home. 🇺🇦🇬🇧

New Ukrainian drone we will be seeing at the battlefield - Slavic, from Vyriy Industries. It's basically Ukrainian Mavic. Super good and hope we scale it.

JUST NOW: russia hit a business centre in central Dnipro with a jet powered drone. The building is on fire, people were inside, there are multiple injured.

3rd Army Corps used unmanned VBIEDs to breach russian defences in Donbas. Old Soviet BTR-60s, no crew inside, packed with explosives and driven by remote control into the strongest fortifications. Nove, Ridkodub and Katerynivka liberated, over 250 russians taken prisoner.

Super great piece of literature I just finished. "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl You must have something going on in your head. You gotta find your meaning. This is how we can go through immense challenges.

A new read I just finished - The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli. Super short and super strong book, on the cruelty and "using all the means" to achieve your goals.

Aftermath from FPV drone hitting civilian evacuation van in Donetsk oblast. Because it is armored, it has kept the personnel alive.

Quite interesting development of Molniya drone - they added more motors - so at least 3 motors total. I have seen modifications with 5 motors already.

Quite new to see russian forces using net throwers to take down Ukrainian ISR drones. Previously, we have seen a lot of that against static airborne quadcopters.

It's stunning to see the amount of Russian Molniya type of drones at the battlefield. They are basically endless, just a deadly spam of them.

Super interesting use of tin foil on russian Lancet UAV. I suppose this is to bait and fool Ukrainian air defense radars - so it thinks it's a bigger UAV. Military deception move.

Russian factory-made camouflage of their strike UAVs. In all UAVs I used, we did the camouflage ourselves by painting them over depending on the season and terrain.

Super interesting & rare footage of russian mobile fire team doing air defense patrol on highway. They are there to defend against Ukrainian mid-strike drones such as Hornet in this video.

First clear look at russia's Astra-PVO, their anti-air FPV interceptor. Would be interesting to know what type of interceptors russian Rubicon uses.

Ukrainian soldiers getting rotated by armored vehicle which is quite rare in Ukraine's battelfield. Most rotations now happen by foot, 20-30km at a time. There are cases where soldiers spent over 700 days in a trench position, day by day.

This is russian General Nikolai Varpakhovich. He commanded the russian strategic bombers that launched missiles at children's hospital in Kyiv. He was just shot outside his house this morning. Dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed, Nikolai 😉

Ukrainian drone strike aftermath on Russian shadow fleet vessel. The crew was not able to steer the vessel anywhere, and evacuated.

Very interesting highlight of Ukraine-Russia deep-strike exchange. Russian people feel themselves 100% safe near Ukrainan drones - walking, chatting, filming - because they know 100% Ukrainian drone will not EVER go for them - only military target. It's different in Ukraine...

Super certain Russia will run mobilization. Together with DPRK soldiers influx, this will enable them to keep the same tempo of operations in Ukraine, but also to run much deadlier operations on Baltic states. This is a real danger.

A russian ISR drone shoots a net at the Ukrainian interceptor chasing it. Super interesting development of the modern drone warfare.

Beautiful sight. A destroyed russian Pantsir-S1 in Ukrainian Crimea. They are used to protect precious sites in Crimea. But they are illegal aliens, therefore they get at least 70kg explosive drone railing them. :)

Quite depressing view of the warfare - russian soldier, all alone open in the field - decides to zap himself. It's still hard for me to understand why they need to come to Ukraine to unalive themselves. Why can't they do that in fucking russia?!

“Russian airspace will effectively be closing – the war started by Russia is closing its skies.” - says President Zelenskyy, and I completely support this. We have the capabilities to achieve it with asymmetrical unmanned operations.

russian losses in August 2026: 42,020 men. Territories captured in August: 5 square kilometres, at about 0.2 per day. It's insane that someone still says russia is winning. Super delusional.

By teaching Western Armies how to fight a modern warfare, Ukraine proves itself not as a consumer of security anymore, but as security provider to NATO and the Allies. Thoughts on that - and NATO joint excercises with Ukrainians. youtu.be/-Nz2pMGCcFQ

Was just on Frontline show with Philip Ingram @PhilipIngMBE - discussing what would be Russia's breaking point, and how technology of the war is going to change. Starlink is the double-edged sword for Ukraine, unfortunately. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmi...

In an exercise, a destroyed vehicle gets respawned and drives straight back into the fight. On our front there is no respawn button. Every lesson NATO is getting for free in Hohenfels, we paid for in blood. Take the free version. Please. youtu.be/-Nz2pMGCcFQ

Ukrainian drone operators took apart an entire US armored brigade in a NATO exercise in Germany. So fast the Americans had to respawn the vehicles to keep the war game running. Third time in two years. Why this is good news, from a Ukrainian soldier: youtu.be/-Nz2pMGCcFQ

Super interesting shot of Ukrainian deep-strike drone An-196 Lyutiy. Seemingly, it has air-to-air missiles mounted and ready to go - to counter-act Russian jets hunting our deep strikes. Super cool, we need AIM-120 there to delete russian SU jets.

Russian idiot tried to infiltrate a Ukrainian position disguised as a bush. It's great that he got deleted and will go back to his country, at some point.

russia's Rubicon centre published a compilation of Ukrainian long range drones it intercepted recently. FP-2 after FP-2 after FP-2. 1. Ukrainain window of opportunity getting narrower. Russians have a significant interceptor capability. 2. FP-2 is the main tool for deep strikes.

A russian strike drone over a petrol station in Kharkiv, seconds before impact. Purely civilian infrastructure, hit again by Russian forces. There are retreating civilians in sight too.
