I started seeing shotgun drones in Jan 2025.

Net launchers are becoming more common too.

Some drone interceptors just have a stick. https://sopuli.xyz/post/41069897

Russia’s annual Victory Day parade will be held on 9 May without military hardware for the first time in almost two decades because of fears of a long-range attack by Ukrainian drones.

They have an archive that contains a lot of background information on each video.

ASTRA has a bigger reputation, but doesn’t cover Russian social media as much. https://astra.press/en/home/

I heard Transnistria is really nice this time of year.

I made a custom program to add subtitles. If you run the video through Gemini or ChatGPT it should give you a nearly identical translation.

As for the video being AI, even though it looks like a simple clip, it would be very difficult and expensive to replicate this video for a few reasons, but mainly the background.

I use the mobile site or the Boost app on Android.

I updated the title.

Ukrainian drones hit the large Russian Black Sea oil facility terminals at Tuapse for the third time in 12 days, sparking another billowing fire and prompting evacuations.

The oil rain was much worse today.

Fantastic, Ukraine now has at least 100 in active service, not including units that are undergoing maintenance or repair.

Probably, here is a satellite image.

You probably wouldn’t like the other version.

This battalion operates near the border, so hopefully it’s not as common in other areas.

Summary:

Alexei Zemtsov, a Ka-52 pilot and prominent military blogger known as “Voyevoda,” committed suicide following sustained pressure and legal harassment from high-ranking military officials after he exposed poor equipment and leadership failures. Before his death, Zemtsov released compromising material on the Aerospace Forces leadership and appealed to federal investigators to address systemic corruption and coerced confessions. He ultimately chose to end his life rather than face trial for “discrediting” the army, requesting that his influential Telegram channel be transferred to fellow blogger Kirill Fedorov.

Magyar(Hungarian) is his call sign. It’s a funny coincidence since both of them are political targets of the Orban regime.
