The Russians started employing a new type of mine to target transport and personnel in the Ukrainian city of Kherson.
The mine possesses an antenna-like trigger sensor that activates if the probe is deflected or displaced, and is filled with 100–120 grams of plastic explosive.
Upon detonation, the top cover of the device shatters instantly into shrapnel.
This new explosive device is yet another danger for Kherson's residents, who are under constant threat of attacks by Russian drone operators.

A chilling example of how one munition can disperse multiple explosive submunitions across a wide area.

Beyaz fosfor, fosfor elementinin oda sıcaklığında kendiliğinden oksijenle tepkimeye girip tutuşabilen, sarımsak kokulu ve mumsu yapıda bir allotropudur. Bu havan mühimmatından çıkacak beyaz fosfor ile yangın çıkarıcı Dron mühimmatı elde edilecek.

"Our military is shifting to a new service rifle but we still have like a zillion Kalashnikovs in storage. What is the best way to clear out the warehouses and get the most out of old guns?"
"I may have a solution, sir"

New Russian cruise missile: Filin
Available in two configurations:
- 50 kg warhead, 1,200 km range;
- 100 kg warhead, 700 km range.
Maximum flight speed is 800 km/h, with a maximum flight time of 90 minutes. Maximum flight altitude is 6 km. Accuracy is around +- 10 m.
The missile is produced by Molniya, the Russian UAV developer behind a cheap, mass-produced type of drone used for strike, reconnaissance, and logistics missions.
Russia is betting heavily on cheap cruise missiles launched from ground platforms, which broadens their possible uses and significantly saves the flight-hour resources of their combat aircraft.

Photos published by a Russian channel reportedly show a munition marked “K-3000,” which is believed to be the UAV-K-3000 manufactured by Ukrainian company Ukrainian Bomb Manufacture (UBM).
UBM lists the UAV-K-3000 as a cumulative munition designed for use with unmanned aerial vehicles. According to the manufacturer, it is intended to engage equipment, fortifications, concrete and earth-and-wood structures, as well as personnel.
The munition was already listed in the National Association of Ukrainian Defense Industries (NAUDI) catalogue for 2025 under inventory number 1325-61-017-9531. It therefore does not appear to be a newly developed system from 2026.

Another photo of the new crashed Russian "Geran-5 K5-K" jet kamikaze drone.
This time, the drone crashed in a field near the Boryspil district of Kyiv.

The Pantsir-S1 combines missiles and rapid-fire cannons into one mobile air defense platform. A fascinating piece of military engineering. 🚀

Yeni bir çağın başlangıcına tanıklık ediyoruz. Kullanılan mühimmat çeşidinden Dronların yapısı ve tasarımına kadar evrimleşmelerine tüm türleriyle ölüm kusarak Harp Sahasını domine etmelerini yaşıyoruz.

This is what the new Russian "Geran-5" looks like next to an older version of the "Shahed".
During maneuvers, Russian "Geran-5" drones already reach speeds of up to 1,000 km/h. Ukrainians have already recorded such cases.
Russia is focusing on speed and the mass production of cheap jet-powered drones and missiles ("Banderol", "Geran-5", "Dan-T", "Dan-M").
Ukraine urgently needs jet interceptors and its own budget cruise missile.
Russian UAVs with AI navigation are already being tested: in the future they will be able to find and attack targets fully autonomously.

A powerful example of Soviet-era engineering, this oversized rocket artillery system showcases the scale and ambition behind Cold War military technology. 🚀

Sudan: A Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) fighter was seen using motorcycles to move anti-tank guided missiles toward the front lines.
The weapons appear to be Russian-made 9M133-1 Kornet-E export variants.
