Russian air defense sufficient on front lines, in Crimea but not on Russian soil

"Russian air defense is thinning out. They filled the front line and Crimea with it (air defense). But you see that the Russian territory is not so filled with air defense equipment," Ihnat told Focus's journalist.

"Moscow, Saint Petersburg, (Russian dictator Vladimir) Putin's bunkers will be more or less protected, but Ukrainian-made drones reach Moscow, St. Petersburg, and oil depots in other cities. This is a very good sign."

Reports of drone attacks against military targets on Russian soil have increased in recent months. Kyiv usually doesn't officially comment on such strikes.

Ukrainian drone attack on Russian oil depot causes massive blaze


A Ukrainian drone has struck an oil storage depot in western Russia, causing a massive blaze, officials said, as Kyiv’s forces apparently extended their attacks on Russian soil ahead of the war’s two-year anniversary.

Four oil reservoirs with a total capacity of 6,000 cubic metres were set on fire after the drone reached #Klintsy, a city of some 70,000 people located about 60 kilometres from the Ukrainian border, according to the local governor and state news agency Tass.

Ukraine uses #FrankenSAM hybrid system for first time, downs Russian kamikaze drone

Ukraine used the first hybrid air defense system under the FrankenSAM program, a joint project between the U.S. and Ukraine, to shoot down a #Shahed drone launched by Russia on Jan. 17

"One of these systems was successfully used for the first time last night. We shot down a kamikaze drone from a distance of nine kilometers," Kamyshin said.

As further military aid packages for Ukraine remain stalled in Congress, the joint project, which combines old Soviet-era surface-to-air missile systems with new U.S.-made missiles and radars, has been a way for Ukraine to continue its fight against Russia in the meantime.

The AP earlier reported that U.S. engineers have been able to work with Ukraine to modify its numerous Soviet-era Buk air defense launchers to fire RIM-7 missiles, of which the U.S. has large stockpiles.

According to Kamyshin, five projects have been developed under the FrankenSAM concept. All the systems have already been deployed on the battlefield.

Walmart-Google Linkup Adds Drone Delivery To 60,000 Households

Last month, a supermarket news report detailed a recent partnership between Walmart and Google-owned drone delivery firm Wing centered on the Dallas area, adding drone delivery capability to some 60,000 households. A Wing Supercenter in Frisco, Texas, could be followed up early this year with a second Supercenter in the region.

The comments on this article (generally written by pilots) are worth reading, like this one:

Basically they’re just saying that today, the general public, is just too lazy to do their own shopping. With door dash, Uber eats, and grub hub, American families will be getting ever more lazy.

And fatter and even less healthy. I could put in an order for Bourbon, have it flown to me, and claim that I am just protecting the general public by not driving drunk. But the reality would be completely different….

Russia has (for the first timel) shared videos of their new high-precision kamikaze drones “VT-40” that has armored piercing munition.

The new drone was built by volunteer engineers who combined the OTS drones with a new and modernized (RPG like) payload.

In one of the videos the Ukrainian T-72 was blew up in a massive explosion killing all onboarding and completely destroyed the tank.

I'm no expert but I don't think that the video I shared on telegram showing the same drone attacking the tanks and armored vehicles because the explosions seems to be very different.
