The shocking videos and images of abandoned soldiers and dead bodies are a sad reminder of the low value of life of ordinary soldiers for the military leaders.
This meaningless war has to end. It's time to push for peace negotiations and way to end this Maas slaughter of men on both sides for the sake of ego of rheie leaders.
One of the images from Ukraine war, showing a low tech DIY drone made out of some plywood and an RPG!
This simple and rather deadly device is said to have been used by the Ukrainians in their fight against Russian positions as well as APCs.
I am not sure how useful they are and how they can even reach their targets as the weight of the RPG is significantly heavier than what a small engine like the one in the image can carry, much less accurately reach the target, not to forget that standard RPGs require a high velocity impact in order to detonate.
But it seems to be working!

Ukraine is now asking us for ammunition and artillery. We, Denmark, have decided to transfer all our artillery to Ukraine. We're sorry, friends, there is military equipment in #Europe, it's not just a question of production. We have weapons, ammunition, air defense systems that we are not yet using. They must be handed over to Ukraine, "
🔹In #Kherson Direction, without changes, an AFU boats were sunk again during an attempt to land on the left bank.
🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, our forces are heavily fighting for #Rabotino, both sides are digging into the positions. So far it is known that ours in fierce fighting have reached the geographical outskirts of the village from the west, south and southeast. The AFU positions are already being attacked from three sides. Advancement is also recorded near #Verbovoye.
🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, our units are advancing west of #Staromayorskoye and in the area of #Prechistovka. Our Artillery thwarted AFU attempts to rotate their forward positions.
🔹In #Avdeyevka Direction, our sappers report that the mining in the city is dense, there are many traps. They are not surprised to meet a lot of #NATO weapons. Meanwhile, our forces are attacking #Lastochkino, where the enemy's presence remains. The AFU's aim is to gain time to consolidate on the main defensive line. At #Nevelskoye, our troops advanced about 1 more km.
🔹In the #Bakhmut Direction, our army is approaching the outskirts of #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye) with a broad front from #Khromovo to #Chernobylts. The half-encirclement of the AFU in the village looms. And our military has already gained a foothold in its northeastern outskirts. Our Aerospace Forces, artillery and drone pilots continue to very methodically hit any AFU targets in the direction of .Chasov Yar up to pickups.
🔹In #Svatovo Direction, on the #Seversk front, our forces pushed the AFU back about 1 km on the approaches to #Vasyukovka and gained a foothold in the landing. In the #Liman sector, the further advance on #Terny is not easy. In #Kupyansk sector, after the liberation of #Krakhmalnoye and #Tabayevka, there has been no progress for some time. Meanwhile, our artillery is active. The reason that Zelensky is near #Kupyansk today is the high risk of activation of attacks from our army. It is said that there is a high accumulation of our forces.
💥The AFU struck #Makeyevka with MLRS today, damaged an oil depot, there is a wounded man. Three children in #Panteleymonovka and a resident of #Donetsk were injured. Furthermore they tried to attack a civilian facility in #Mariupol by a British kamikaze drone with 7 kg of explosives. It was intercepted and landed. #Ukraine reports that they have shot down two more Russian aircraft. So far it is known that our plane was shot down near #Mariupol. Moreover, according to the first version, by our own air defence. The MoD refrains from commenting which is not a good trend.
🎯Our Forces hit In #Kramatorsk enterprises used by the AFU to create armored parts for military equipment. In one of the hangars, a Bradley IFV was covered. In #Lvov, an enterprise producing drones burned at night. They write that the underground put down their security and set the plant on fire.

Russia seems to be pushing hard on 2 fronts with over 300% artillery compared to those used by Ukraine and slowly advancing in northern and southern regions of the war front.

"I have something serious in mind, which is not about one person, but about the direction of the country's leadership," the Ukrainian president explained.
The history repeat itself, soon we see the same scenario as we saw in south Vietnam back in the 60s.
The Shahed-107 drone, about 2.5 meters long and with a wingspan of 3 meters, can be launched from a vehicle and is estimated to have a flight range of up to 1,500 km. It is assumed that Shahed-107 is equipped with a transmitter for broadcasting video.
The publication also reports that Iran may transfer ballistic missiles with a range of up to 700 km to the Russian Federation.

If it was a case of Ukrainian fire, then at a distance of around 180 km S-200, S-300 (with Russian missiles) or MIM-104 Patriot with PAC-2 would be possible. However, all of these systems would then have to be located very close to the front - which would be risky.
Russia only has up to 8 of these €300 million aircraft, which are used to coordinate air combat, missile attacks and the suppression of Ukrainian air defenses. A video is supposed to show the last flight of this machine.

Johnson said that after the meeting of representatives of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul in 2022, he held talks with Ukrainian President #Zelensky, during which he expressed his concern about the possibility of an agreement between #Moscow and #Kiev.
According to Johnson, he also stressed that the UK was "a thousand per cent" ready to help Ukraine.
Interestingly, in the same interview, the former Prime Minister said that he had nothing to do with the disruption of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in spring 2022.
Johnson said he thought the information about his involvement was "complete nonsense" and "Russian propaganda".
