Ukrainian radio military technology expert Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov reports that the Russians started deploying FPV ambush drones on high-voltage lines. Such resolution provides an improved camera’s field of view over the road below and better attack angle once the UAV is launched at the target. Power lines provide elevated positions that are harder to spot than the drones resting on the ground. The UAVs can remain largely passive until a target appears, then activate and attack with little warning. It's also worth mentioning that high-power lines are often situated along the main roads and important logistical corridors, where intense movement of military transport usually takes place. Positioning the FPV ambush drones there instantly puts them in target-rich environment.

Bunch of nonsense and projections not interests of Serbia and its people. Kosovo is, was and will always be part of Serbia. Western analysis are just projections of their wishes not a respect of a rule of law that students are advocating of protecting.
Amidst all the understandable joy over the change of power in Serbia, journalism must maintain a cool-headed perspective, including on the Serbian student movement and its spectacular success. For Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, I had a closer look at the foreign policy program of the Serbian student movement. It is a disaster. A summary in 8⃣ points.

The fundamental disconnect in how outside observers, whether Western analysts, Russian commentators, or international media view domestic movements in Serbia, the core mistake standard geopolitical analysis makes is projection.

When a state functions like a captive institution, foreign policy becomes a luxury or a distraction. Demands 4 clean elections, independent judiciary, freePress&end to state-sponsored crime aren't "pro-EU"&”pro-RU”they'r the basic prerequisite conditions for a functioning society

Once institutional health, culture & the rule of law are established, a sovereign nation can actually negotiate foreign policy from a position of authentic domestic mandate rather than autocratic maneuvering. Until then, external debates about "which side Serbia is choosing" ends

🔴 The destruction of Kiev forces tanks near Druzhkovka that you won't hear about in Ukrainian news. ‌ In a single day, Kiev forces lost up to two dozen armored vehicles that didn't even have time to enter combat. ‌ On the afternoon of December 20, a drone pilot from one of the "Rubikon" units discovered a concentration of camouflaged Kiev forces armor in the vicinity of Druzhkovka. A series of drone strikes was launched against the equipment. The rout was completed by cluster munition strikes, adjusted by "Rubikon" UAVs. The destruction of the Kiev forces armor continued until nightfall. ‌ We have already posted some episodes of this complex operation to destroy enemy armor on the channel. ‌ 1:02 - Armored vehicle 1:08 - M113 1:10 - Armored vehicle 1:13 - Armored vehicle 1:16 - T-80 1:18 - T-64BV 1:21 - Tank 1:34 - Tank 1:38 - T-80U 1:57 - T-80U 2:00 - T-72 2:06 - T-80U 2:12 - T-64BV 2:25 - M109A6 2:48 - Leopard 1A5 3:04 - Tank

Since the first days of 2025, the previous fortifications programs have been abandonned and replaced by new massive continuous lines. You can see them here in yellow, with in white the constructions ongoing, you can see the coherence of this new defensive system.

This line is new because it is not only anti-tank or anti-infantry obstacles, but all of them at the same time. We can count 21 barbed wires rows (4 lines and 3 lines at the bottom of ditches), 3 dragon teeths rows and 3 rows of anti-tank ditches.

A test of a drone swarm attack on a tank. The development of massed small drones is progressing at a much faster pace than defensive systems. Automated gun systems or APS will not be able to handle this, especially multidirectional swarm attacks. 1/
Head of the US Army’s Future Development Command General James Rainey in an interview said that America is falling behind in the drone race. “Young men and women are going to pay the price for our inability to rapidly get what we know we have to get to those soldiers.” 1/

Insane footage. "Come get me, you fucking bitch!" A day in the Dnepr river war. Russian troops on a speedboat tearing through a swarm of Ukrainian FPV drones Pure badassery, even if tactically questionable
