    This is, of course, great, but are the hoholdrones really just calmly observing the movements of the Russian Armed Forces? A drone war, no, a war of technology. hi

    Am I trying to hold on to Konstantinovka? Ha... like we're about to take it... We've been fighting for it for over a year, and if we've taken it, it's less than half... What a premature article...

      Amazing article.
      We don’t have heavy drones, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces don’t have people.
      So what happens, our men fight drones one on one?

        No, it's much worse. They fight with drones, and we fight with people, and the article practically says so. It's all deplorable—they're losing drones, and we're losing people. It's an unequal exchange; fighting like that is no way to fight. Will this idea ever reach the commanders?

          So, is this what's planned, in your opinion? Defense without infantry, only with drones?

          Drone operators say they are severely short of infantry and that drones alone are unable to hold positions.

          According to our sources, Russian drones are cutting off all Ukrainian Armed Forces logistics in Kostiantynivka, effectively depriving the enemy of ammunition and food supplies.

          It seems to me that something is written differently in the article and not your fantasies.
          They also fought with people, but they ran out of them. It’s not clear what upsets you so much about this fact.

        That's pretty much what a friend of mine who came home on vacation says. There are only eight of them left from the 2023 recruitment company...

        From memory, Steishin seemed to have recently said the words of a captured Ukrainian soldier
        You bring a truckload of people, we bring a truckload of drones.

      What are you talking about? Don't you trust the Chief of the General Staff? And the Southern Group of Forces commander? The general won't lie, because his superior ordered it— You can make mistakes, you can’t lie!
      On November 20th, the first reported to the Supreme Command that 35% of Konstantinovka was already occupied, while the second promised the Supreme Commander to occupy the entire city by mid-December. He didn't say what year, though. Then, on February 16th, Gerasimov announced that 60% of Konstantinovka was already occupied.
      And you suddenly say "less than half"! Whose mill are you playing into?
      Look at the map, take a look. 60% is exactly what the Chief of General Staff said...
      Not busy!

      This article is kind of premature...

      And quite surprising. Something's wrong with the article. Of course, I can see it better from the couch. laughing
      And yet, -
      [/quote]Today, there is no continuous line of defense; there are fortified positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which they are trying not to surrender to the attack aircraft of the Russian Armed Forces. [quote]

      Why would our attack aircraft take these fortified positions by force? And at night, since drones are blocking them during the day, they should outflank these positions, cut off supply routes, destroy the rear, and so on. Destroying the rear is much more important than taking a stronghold. But, again, this is only visible from my couch. The guys on the front lines know better. Good luck to them, and a speedy victory.

        They have drones with night vision/thermal imaging devices, and they also need equipment for mine clearance.

        At the same time, drone operators emphasize that holding the city is becoming increasingly difficult; Russian attack aircraft are operating in small groups and “infiltrating” the positions of Ukrainian troops, going from the rear.

        But drones are now primarily used to destroy rear areas, so the rear areas are significantly separated from the LBS. But strongholds still need to be taken, of course, after a thorough preparation with artillery and FABs.

    Translated into Russian: they fight with robots, and we put the foreheads of living soldiers in the crosshairs. A natural development of peacefulness and humanity towards the enemy. And also Nabiullina's greed. She's sitting on billions, but she doesn't finance the production of robots and drones.

      She shouldn't be doing this, placing contracts for drones is the responsibility of the Ministry of Defense.

        It is obliged to ensure financing and control capital flight, albeit through indirect methods. It is also stifling the economy and encouraging capital flight.
