    Ukrainian soldiers use improvised battle drones near Donetsk to stop the Russian advance



    #Drone battles near #Donetsk in eastern #Ukraine continue.

    Officers of Ukraine’s 59th Motorized Brigade used improvised battle drones to stop the #Russian advance.

    An officer who goes by the nom de guerre “Sushist” said when Russians are not able to take a city, they just destroy it with artillery.

    The Russian war tactic, called “burned land,” was used in Bakhmut, Maryinka, and many other Ukrainian cities and villages, the officer said.

      Zelensky, this Zionist dog, destroyed the people of Ukraine. That means no one notices this betrayal. The war with Russia was not needed at all. This clown did the order of his Zionist masters.

      Holy s* – there’s SO MANY people commenting here that have ZERO clue about any of this. Trying to show off their “knowledge,” but only looking ignorant in the face of those who truly understand all this.

      1. The footage isn’t “cut” ; at least not with the intent to fake anything. They sometimes do have multiple drones up ; usually to defeat the jammers by using signal enhancers to ensure the “kill drone” can function.
      2. All of those pieces they showed match. That’s that exact drone’s controller as well as the “floodlight-trigger” 9g drop kit for the M3. Those aren’t from different drones.
      3. The M3 can easily carry the weight of anti-armor munitions ; DPICM submunitions are commonly used (that’s not what this is though) and only weighs 208g each. The M8 can carry over 800g.
      4. A tank CAN be killed in a single shot of DPICM subs or something comparable. That’s what they’re designed for.
      5. Ukraine doesn’t need to “fake” anything – because they are simply reshaping the entire battlefield through their (controversial) use of drones. And btw – the term ‘controversial’ here is simply a convenient term by those who’ve never had to fight for the freedom they enjoy of protect their own homes.
      6. David killed Goliath with a single well-placed stone, and changed his nation as a result. I bet that stone weighed even less than 208g.

      It should be noted that Ukraine DOES drop TM-62 anti-tank mines…but from a bigger drone. That’s because they weight 17kg – which is far too much for the M3.

      However – another tactic they also use is dropping trigger munitions into pre-placed stockpiles or other mines which were laid in advance. The blast here is far too small for a TM-62, even if it was triggered by a secondary. This is clearly an anti-armor shaped charge – and the video shows the swing arm of that drop kit (I have that kit on my room along with that exact drone). I know what it looks like when the servo releases the arm, and it swings into view.
