Kyiv fears that the Russian Armed Forces will quickly adapt to the new situation on the battlefield.

In Ukraine, there are concerns that the Russian army is unable to quickly adapt to the dynamically changing situation on the battlefield. As experience has shown, despite the bravura statements of Kyiv's representatives, Ukraine has been unable to seize the strategic initiative in the armed confrontation with Russia.

According to Serhiy Rakhmanin, a member of the Verkhovna Rada Defense Committee, claims that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have seized the strategic initiative are, at the very least, somewhat exaggerated. However, according to the Ukrainian parliamentarian, since any war is associated with constant adaptation, Kyiv is counting on the Ukrainian army to also have the ability to adapt to new conditions. Rakhmanin notes that, as a rule, the period of such adaptation is about six months. The member of the Ukrainian parliamentary defense committee is convinced that if within these six months Russia does not find an effective countermeasure to the "deep strikes" of the Ukrainian forces, drones If logistics are compromised, and the Russian economy continues to deteriorate, Moscow will allegedly be forced to agree to a freeze in military operations along the current front line, which would be extremely beneficial for Kyiv.

Meanwhile, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated that Russia is prepared to conduct the special military operation for as long as necessary and intends to fully achieve all its objectives. Ryabkov emphasized that Moscow's determination to achieve all the goals of the special operation in Ukraine is unwavering.

Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Sergei Ryabkov stated that Russia is ready to conduct the SVO for as long as necessary and intends to fully achieve all its goals.

It would be good to hear how these goals will be achieved?
Von Ze declared that he would intensify the attacks on Russia!
What will our Supreme Command and General Staff say about this?

We need the widespread introduction of relatively inexpensive interceptor drones for air defense to neutralize Ukrainian "Mid-Strike" attacks—that is, strikes with cheap UAVs, like the Hornet, at medium range—plus the development and mass production of our own inexpensive drones for medium-range strikes to disrupt the Ukrainian Armed Forces' logistics. Success will come from whoever can disrupt the enemy's logistics while simultaneously finding a way to protect their own logistics routes with mass-produced, inexpensive, yet high-tech drones. This requires implementing online detection of enemy UAVs and automatically coordinating the targeting of our own interceptor drones against these UAVs, thereby disrupting the enemy's logistics. This requires a systematic approach, introducing innovations, testing them in practice, and then scaling them up again. Quantity itself can lead to quality. And the key is to achieve this as quickly as possible. Perhaps we should integrate existing solutions into a single system.

In continuation of the post.
Possible measures to organize a shield against enemy Middle Strike.

Russian engineers have developed a robotic air defense system capable of detecting and destroying aerial targets without human intervention on the front lines. As reported to TASS by the People's Front, the system consists of two ground vehicles. The first, the Impulse-RLS, detects and tracks an enemy drone, then provides targeting information to the second, the Impulse-Zveroboy. It, in turn, launches an interceptor drone, which eliminates the threat. This architecture allows the operator to be positioned outside the kill zone. The system is controlled remotely via a mesh network using repeaters, allowing for the ability to expand its range as needed. The Impulse can cover both civilian targets in cities and positions along the line of contact.

Or better yet, basic mother drones with high-speed FPV interceptor drones, between which the targets should be easily distributed.
Testing of the new Molniya interceptor drone, designed to counter aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles, has been completed. The device can reach speeds of up to 330 km/h, is equipped with a warhead, and can operate as part of a mobile system for detecting and engaging airborne targets. The developers have already prepared the production line for serial production.

But specialists at the Tomsk Region's Unmanned Aircraft Systems Research and Production Center have given the same name to a lighter interceptor drone. The distinguishing feature of the Tomsk engineers' "Molniya" is its high speed, up to 330 km/h. This isn't a record, but it's a remarkable achievement for a relatively inexpensive, mass-produced device. Its speed is ensured by four motors and a streamlined design.
The second important point is that, while weighing 2,5 kg, the Molniya is equipped with a 300-gram warhead. This isn't much, but it's more than enough to destroy a kamikaze drone, a reconnaissance drone, or a large quadcopter. Many previously developed similarly designed devices are designed solely for kinetic interception without a warhead, and success against relatively heavy drones is not guaranteed. The Molniya, however, combines high speed with a powerful warhead. In other words, it can destroy any realistic target.

The Molniya's cruising speed reaches 270–300 km/h, and its maximum speed is up to 330 km/h. Its target engagement range is 1,5–5 km, with the device itself potentially capable of operating at distances of up to 15 km. Initial target detection is performed by radar stations and computing systems with artificial intelligence elements, after which the operator or system selects the target for attack.

Coordination with the help of drones-guided gunners, hovering around the clock above the logistics, to guide their attack UAVs to targets as part of their Middle Strike.

Thus, in the Kherson sector, reconnaissance units and unmanned systems troops of the Dnipro Group of Forces have begun using new Aurora-1MT UAVs with integrated artificial intelligence. Reports have already emerged that the onboard integrated tensor processor with a performance of 8 teraflops allows the neural network to process video feeds and recognize Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment or personnel in real time during flight, and then control fire, for example, artillery or guide anti-aircraft missiles.

And how exactly can we ensure this Middle Strike? What resources are needed? Perhaps we should combine the two projects into a single system, which would create a Middle Strike equivalent.

The Russian FPV drone Artemis-10 successfully completed field tests, confirming its stated performance. The drone flew 34 kilometers with a 2-kilogram payload. Control was provided via the Hermes special communications channel, which ensures interference immunity. Artemis-10 is built on a 10-inch platform. The drone is equipped with a target guidance system, allowing for trajectory correction. The drone can be launched from a drone port and features a hibernation mode—an extended standby time with minimal power consumption. The Hermes standard multi-band communications system also enables group flight of several drones under the control of a single operator.

Kalashnikov Concern unveiled the Fortis system for the first time—a vertical takeoff and landing drone capable of carrying and deploying FPV drones. After separation from the carrier, the kamikaze drone is controlled via the same aircraft, expanding its kill zone to 100 kilometers.
"Fortis" is presented in three modifications.
The younger model, the Fortis 30, can carry up to 5 kilograms, reach a speed of 90 kilometers per hour, and climb to an altitude of 2500 meters.
The average one, "Fortis 50", takes up to 7 kilograms at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour and a ceiling of 3000 meters.
The older model, Fortis 100, can carry up to 18 kilograms and reach speeds of 110 kilometers per hour at altitudes of up to 3000 meters.

All versions can stay in the air for up to eight hours and simultaneously conduct monitoring, recognizing stationary and moving objects.

https://www1.ru/news/2026/05/28/bespilotnyi-nositel-fortis-dovodiashhii-fpv-drony-do-celi-za-100-km-bez-poteri-sviazi-vpervye-pokazal-kalasnikov.html

That's a total of 100 km for the Fortis mother UAV, plus the 34 km proven range of the Artemis-10 FPV drone, which can separate from the Fortis mother UAV and engage targets at a total range of close to 140 km. Isn't it a Middle Strike? And the key is affordability and mass production. All we need to do is scale it up and deliver it to the front lines as quickly as possible.

This is war, and cowards can leave the country.

Sergei Ryabkov stated that Russia is ready to conduct the SVO for as long as necessary and intends to fully achieve all its goals.

So, the attacks on Russia's rear will continue indefinitely, and we won't be able to prevent them. And let me remind you that Medinsky literally hinted: since we fought Sweden for 21 years, it will be the same with Ukraine.

The Ukrainians have no reason to fear the Russian Armed Forces. The Central Military District feeds oligarchs on both sides of the front. Sure, people are dying, but they're not the children and relatives of the elite. This is straight out of the book "1984: Swollen, endless war is convenient for everyone to maintain power and enrich themselves. Then it'll take years to rebuild Ukraine. Will Russians ever live well, or is this a nightmare for the "Russian elite"?

Russians will live well when they start calling a spade a spade. "Elite" isn't suitable for the oligarchy. "SVO" isn't suitable for war. "Terrorist" isn't suitable for Zelenskyy (you don't negotiate with terrorists). "Udor Vozdushnaya Strike" isn't suitable for planned strikes against production and logistics...

Meanwhile, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated that Russia is ready to conduct the NBC as long as necessary and intends to fully achieve all its goals. Ryabkov emphasized that Moscow's determination to achieve all the goals of the special operation in Ukraine is unwavering.

Only the civilians will pay for this, and what's more, we're already paying for it...

Representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are not part of the country's military leadership, and therefore their words and statements are only taken into account by housewives and elementary school students.

A member of the Ukrainian parliamentary defense committee is convinced that if Russia fails to find an effective countermeasure to Ukrainian drones' "deep strikes" on logistics within six months, and the Russian economy continues to deteriorate, Moscow will allegedly be forced to agree to a freeze in hostilities along the current front line, which would be extremely advantageous for Kyiv.

Or the Russian Federation will strike at:
- non-military but strategic facilities (nuclear power plants, dams) on the territory of Ukraine with conventional weapons;
- military and/or non-military targets (large cities) on Ukrainian territory with non-conventional weapons. It's unlikely that anyone in the world will mourn Ukraine (except for lost investments); everyone will be thinking about their own skins...

As practice has shown, Ukraine, despite the bravura statements of Kyiv's representatives, was unable to seize the strategic initiative in the armed confrontation with Russia.

What's the basis for this conclusion? The front is standing. But Ukraine has terrorized the southern regions, and beyond. Kyiv's only fear is that the General Staff might suddenly begin fighting, destroying key facilities. At the very least, they'd want to destroy all the gas stations within Kyiv's city limits, to sow administrative chaos.

I thought your leaders had secret plans and knew what they were doing. The more time passes...

The battlefield is a beautiful place, and our army is doing well! Everyone who's in the trenches, dugouts, assaulting and defending now deserves honor, praise, and eternal glory. But the Ukropiteks, incapable of defeating our army on the battlefield, have resorted to all-out terrorist attacks. Look, a bomb hit a passenger train in the LPR—deliberately, like the other day, a passenger bus, and before that, a college with children. When will we start herding terrorists "into the toilet" and "wiping them out" there, like in the good old days, we wiped out their bearded predecessors, men and women, wrapped in black bags with holes for the eyes?

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov speaks beautifully, but who knows whether Gerasimov agrees with him or not?
