In total, 822 Ukrainian UAVs were shot down or intercepted between 20:00 PM Saturday and 08:00 AM Sunday.

Tin-plate If the Supreme Command doesn't "start" and come out of hibernation, I'm afraid both quantity and quality will only increase! Our citizens, children and the elderly, are dying. Enough of this snot-mouthing—it's time to take action, including a sabotage war in the EU against weapons and ammunition manufacturers for the Ukrainians, plus disrupting their logistics—they deserve it! Publishing addresses won't cut it—these factories need to be shut down!

if the Supreme Command does not "start" and does not come out of hibernation

I'm afraid he won't come out of hibernation and won't be able to fit into the chain mail anymore; he's already in the "clawing while lying on his side" state...

[Yuri L]

So he's safe, and his money is safe. Why wake up? And we ourselves need to scatter somehow. Every single one of my acquaintances wants Kyiv and other such monstrous hordes to look just like the photos. Only then will they stop killing us every day. But they'll repeat it again. Their money, their castles, their children are there in the West. So they'll keep killing us.

Come on, what do you even know about saboteurs? I have a very good understanding of the work of naval special forces, including their sabotage units, and I'm involved with them. What information do you have, or is this just a rough idea?
Our problem is not a lack of specialists, and for sabotage work we can attract third-party contractors, including criminals - for money, the problem is the lack of adequate command and planning of operations.

[Ivan F]

"I can imagine it perfectly well, I have a connection to them." - well, then why are you sitting on the couch and not organizing "sabotage in the EU"?

[WILL]

I've been defending your ass there for a year and a half, so now it's definitely your turn. It's people like you who are truly irritating – trying to send others to war for lack of merit. So stop being clever and provoking others – prove to yourself you're not a chump and get to the front.

[Ivan F]

Saboteurs don't shout who they are from every corner. Saboteurs have a strong psyche, not a hysterical one like yours. They know how to control themselves. So you're not a saboteur, but an ordinary couch potato.

[WILL]

Coward, why aren't you at the military registration and enlistment office yet?

[Ivan F]

So, the "saboteur's" intelligence came to the surface.
By the way, do more of your "sabotage" activities—give them some minuses. That's exactly your level of "combat effectiveness."

[WILL]

You think you're a "brilliant" manipulator. They started sending others to the front, a homegrown comedian, and they got a response - they were offended like a girl.
Remember, when sending others somewhere: don't be a chatterbox, show by example. And if that's not the case, it's better to remain silent than to throw a tantrum and try to insult others out of stupidity. Onward to the military registration and enlistment office.
I'm not interested in further communication; there's nothing smart anyway.

[Ivan F]

"There's nothing smart about it anyway." - I agree, you have nothing smart about it. Therefore, I'm saying goodbye to you. Good luck in your battles on the couch.

It seems that until the "guarantor's" close friends suffer, everything will be as it is, "neither slow nor slow." They took the village and immediately proudly reported, forgetting how, during the liberation of Ukraine in 1943-1944, Soviet troops advanced at an average pace of 5-7 to 25-30 kilometers per day.

Rates of advance by periods

Left-bank Ukraine and Donbass (autumn 1943)Rifle units advanced an average of 7–8 km per day. Tank and mechanized units traveled 10–15 km per day, overcoming resistance at intermediate lines.

Right-bank Ukraine (winter–spring 1944)During the large-scale Dnieper-Carpathian Operation, the pace increased. The average troop advance was 20-30 km per day, and in certain areas of rapid breakthrough, mobile groups advanced faster, breaking through the retreating enemy's barriers.

Crimean Operation (spring 1944)The planned pace of the combined arms armies was 12-15 km per day, while the advanced tank corps developed a speed of up to 30-35 km per day to cut off the enemy's escape routes to Sevastopol.

It looks good, but back then there was no satellite reconnaissance or attack drones. The massive use of armored vehicles now would only lead to massive losses. Furthermore, air cover and the use of bombers over enemy territory are ruled out, even if the enemy has modern air defense systems. This is a completely unfair comparison of combat operations taking place in completely different conditions.

[alexbor]

The conversation is not about armored vehicles or UAVs, etc., but about the indecisiveness of the Supreme Command

"Russia is acting surgically and carefully in Ukraine. This is not a war in the literal, modern sense of the word," he said.

Why be careful when our civilians are dying?
Why are the Ukrainians being destroyed surgically, carefully, and not with all their might, like "brothers"?

[Hiller]

Recalling the results of military operations in 1943 and measuring them against today's circumstances is pointless. Perhaps you also recall the war with Napoleon or the Battle of Kulikovo? Remember how many countries were part of the Hitler coalition back then, and estimate how many countries are fighting Russia today! Perhaps you're familiar with the term "balance of forces and resources"?

[Glagol1]

I agree with ZVEROBOY, the situation is dire. They've planned 60 UAVs for September, plus the first ballistic missile with a range of 800 km is likely to fly. Considering that their production facilities are scattered throughout Europe and Ukraine, it seems they need to target logistics. They need to bomb everything—all bridges, ports, and also cut off fuel supplies. To do this, they need to buy out all the missile production in North Korea and ramp up strikes with bombs and modules.

[rocket757]

Objectively discussing the drone issue is practically receiving negativity from all sides... because you can assign blame, but then who is to be considered right, the one who is doing everything right, right?
There was talk that by autumn, in the fall, everything would change, it would get better... To believe or not to believe is a personal choice, for everyone...

[GRIGORIY76]

I don’t understand why gasoline has disappeared almost everywhere in Moscow.

Probably because a couple of weeks ago, 98 drones were shot down during an enemy attack over Yaroslavl, but some of the debris fell on an industrial facility producing petroleum products. Gasoline is tight in the north, and here in Yaroslavl, a new crisis is looming.

[bubalik]

We in Yaroslavl are also facing a new crisis

“In Samara, it’s been getting worse every day all week (after the failure of the Syzran and Orsk oil refineries), half of the gas stations are closed.

[Irek]

This means we will increase our attacks on the Bandar-logs.

[Graz]

The main beneficiaries of these attacks are not in Kyiv.

[Waifu]

The "grinding" tactic is bearing tangible fruit. United Russia is having an interesting election campaign.

Some users here warned about this two or three years ago. In response, various individuals attacked them and labeled them "tsipso."

[alexbor]

they labeled me "tsipso"

This is what they said, contrary to the idiot box, where they tell the truth and only the truth

[alexbor]

How many fighters for the top, odorbryams of power have bred in VO?

[Graz]

When will Putin decide to strike NATO military factories supplying these drones and components? They clearly won't stop themselves, and the attacks on us and our losses will only increase.

[sergey4791]

A significant portion of components comes from China. Will we target China too?

[Alexey G]

It will mature when the streets of Moscow are riddled with holes from bomb and missile strikes...
In about 5 years!
He doesn't understand that it is better to use more force than is necessary than to slowly raise the stakes, gradually weakening Russia!
His approach will ultimately lead to nuclear war. He will lead to it without realizing it.

[BAI]

So where's the so-called nuclear doctrine? Is this a massive attack or not? There have already been attacks over 1000 years ago.

[navigator777]

This is the beginning of the end for the leadership, which has been slobbering for five years. Ultimately, everyone has to pay for everything. How are those who order these terrorist attacks safe? Most likely, another unspoken deal, that's all.

[scary]

I don't remember, perhaps there were even statistics here. The Ministry of Defense reported that last year, about 7500 drones were shot down per month. For the same period in 2026, the Ministry of Defense is already reporting the downing of around 24,000 drones per month. In other words, UAV production has more than tripled in one year. And, apparently, the trend of increasing production volumes continues. From this, one can understand that Ukraine would not be able to increase production so rapidly. And this raises the question: is there any point in creating an air defense system to mitigate this threat if 50,000 UAVs could be produced by next year? I would say the situation hasn't stabilized since late April, when mass attacks on Russian territory began, but has worsened. And only asymmetric countermeasures are possible. There is a risk that we may not be able to keep up with this rate of UAV production in terms of air defense. Ukraine doesn't yet use a thousand drones every day, but if such attacks become more frequent, it will be a harbinger of trouble.

[TOR2]

And here the question arises: Is there any point in creating an air defense system to counter this threat?

It makes sense. Modern challenges require modern responses. A microwave on rails doesn't care how many drones there are with a 2- or 32-area engagement. Our engineers envisioned a similar ground-based system back in 2002. Besides, we simply don't have any facility-based SAM systems. What effectively covers forces on the move is less effective at protecting facilities, and SAM systems with a raised radio horizon would be too vulnerable on the front lines. There's still work to be done here, and it should have been done the day before yesterday. Incidentally, the downside isn't mine.

[Alexey G]

In the Moscow region, 187 drones were shot down – in Domodedovo, Podolsk, Stupino, Odintsovo, Naro-Fominsk, Ramenskoye, Chekhov, Kolomna, Kashira, and Yegoryevsk. One person was killed and three others were injured. A Wildberries warehouse caught fire in Koledino, and a pharmaceutical warehouse in Domodedovo. A police building was damaged in Kashira, and an industrial facility in Voskresensk.

And today we hit Kyiv with 10 ballistic missiles...
About Kyiv, which has no air defense against ballistics?
What do we mean by this? We have nothing to hit with? What game is the General Staff playing? Not 10 missiles, but 110 were supposed to hit Kyiv. If there are no military targets, they should have hit grocery stores, the notorious bank, the sewers, and maybe even residential buildings in retaliation against the terrorists.
In a punching match, the one who hits harder and harder wins. What are we waiting for? Pack 3 deliveries?
Sometimes it is better to use more force than necessary once and end the war than to drag it out and condemn the country to an endless war in which the enemy destroys peaceful Russians!
