Map of Russia's special operations in Ukraine, the advance of Russian troops, militar

The use of drones and robotic platforms in Ukraine has become so widespread that the war in Ukraine has been called the first drone war. Footage has been published of Russian FPV drone strikes on tracked and wheeled robotic platforms of the Ukrainian army. Russian FPV drones, including VT-40 "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" drones, and other models, including those controlled via fiber optic cable, are being used in the fighting in Ukraine. The exact location of the footage is unknown.
Currently, robots in Ukraine are used primarily for transport. With the advent of artificial intelligence, robot warfare will look something like this. It's worth noting that in the future, even a small country could become quite powerful with a robot army. Afghanistan, which no one has ever conquered, could be controlled by robots and drones.

Footage of Russian Italmas drone strikes on various types of Ukrainian Soviet-made radars. The video shows drone strikes on the 35D6 radar, the P-18MA radar, the 79K6 Pelican radar, the 36D6 radar, and the P-18 radar. A strike on a PRV-16ML radar manufactured in Lithuania is also shown; this is not the first strike on them. For these strikes, the Italmas drones were presumably equipped with Starlink terminals. In Ukraine, the Italmas drones are designated BM-35.

Russia’s 1.2 million casualties in Ukraine dwarf all its conflicts since World War II, report says​

About 1.2 million Russian troops have been killed, wounded or are missing since its invasion of Ukraine almost four years ago, a rate of casualties for a major military power not seen since World War II, a new report from a prominent international think tank says.

And the enormous human toll has secured relatively small territorial gains on the battlefield, with Russia increasing the amount of Ukrainian land under its control by just 12% since 2022, the report from Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) says.

The US was in Vietnam for over 10 years and lost 56K men. So Russia is losing over 30 times as many men in two and a half less time. Russia is a paper tiger.

Footage of Russian Forpost-RU drones in action in Ukraine. The video shows a Forpost-RU drone using KAB-20 guided aerial bombs to attack two temporary deployment points for Ukrainian soldiers located in abandoned buildings. KAB-20 bombs weigh 21 kilograms, and their high-explosive fragmentation warheads weigh 7 kilograms. After the Forpost-RU drone strikes the building, the surviving Ukrainian soldiers retreat to the second building, but are also struck by a KAB-20 bomb as they enter.

Footage of Russian Italmas drone strikes on two Ukrainian Su-27 fighter jets and an F-16 fighter jet at the Myrhorod airfield. Previously, another Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet was attacked by Italmas drones at the Kirovohrad airfield.
Worth noting, Ukrainian F-16 fighter jets are presumably decommissioned and are being used to train engineering technicians and perform aircraft maintenance. For long-range operation, the Italmas drones have been equipped with Starlink terminals. Russia's Izdeliye-54 drone, also known as the Italmas, is designated the BM-35 in Ukraine.

Footage of a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile striking a Ukrainian HIMARS MLRS near the village of Volodarovka in the Kharkiv region. A second strike by a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile struck Ukrainian S-300 air defense positions near the village of Volnyansk. It's worth noting that the S-300 air defense system is virtually incapable of intercepting Iskander-M missiles. They are a difficult target even for the S-400 air defense system. Judging by the video, the S-300 air defense systems were hit; even the scattering of the missiles is visible. Assessing the damage to the HIMARS MLRS is difficult.
