Vid-rel: three Russian FPV drones (each worth less than $1k) destroy well-hidden, mobile Ukrainian Bohdana howitzer (price tag: $3M)Russian FPV drones (especially fiber-optic variants) repeatedly and pretty much daily destroy Ukrainian/NATO howitzers like Bohdana and M777 or self-propelled ones like Krab/PzH 2000/CAESAR because these systems are high-value, relatively large and hard to fully conceal once they fire or move (simple xD). Fiber-optic FPVs are immune to electronic warfare, operate at 50+ km ranges, and are used en masse (thousands daily in key sectors). Russia achieved this edge through dense reconnaissance drone networks for superior real-time situational awareness and rapid target handoff; scaled fiber-optic FPV production and tactics that bypass Ukrainian EW; improved and layered EW that degrades Ukrainian radio-controlled Starlink/GPS drones; massive glide-bomb campaigns (250 daily launches) that suppress positions, logistics, and air defenses at extended ranges (now often 200 km); sustained artillery volume with improving accuracy/range plus counter-battery integration. Finally the adaptive tactics: persistent ISR, combined drone-artillery-bomb strikes, logistics interdiction, and forcing Ukrainian guns into riskier "shoot-and-scoot" cycles that still get detected.BTW, Bohdana howitzers are currently being assembled in banderist and russophobic Bolanda because Russian comrades fucked up the production potential in the Ukraine xD
>>540527189damn that was some good flying with the drone.so artillery is pretty much fucked now?
>>540527296>so artillery is pretty much fucked now?Russian one - not really xD
>>540527321why xD
>>540527321why not?doesnt Ukraine also have access to fiber optic guided drones?
>>540527349>>540527352Russia fields denser recon and fiber-optic FPV coverage, stronger EW in key sectors, and mass glide-bomb suppression that forces Ukrainian guns farther back or into riskier positions.
>>540527411>russia is out of canons xD
>>540527189Year 5 and still not in kiev. Russia is a paper tiger.
>>540527478Geolocated visually confirmed losses have been released for the month of July.https://x.com/hudsonwarmap/status/2086053888185287029In terms of self propelled artillery, which is a good indicator of attritional capacity, Russia lost 6 pieces whilst Ukraine lost 38. A ratio of 1:6.3.Russias 2025 artillery/mortar/rocket output reached 7 million rounds, a 17-fold rise since pre-war, plus millions imported from North Korea/Iran. Entire NATO capacity is projected at 4 million shells annually by 2027 and still ramping (with worse and worse effects). Russia also draws on vast stockpiles of thousands of tubes, enabling higher fielded numbers and sustained rates that currently far exceed combined NATO+Ukraine production and delivery.
you're forgetting ukraine doesn't pay for any of its gear so it doesn't financially hurt when it's destroyed. russia does.

>>540527743>you're forgetting ukraine doesn't pay for any of its gear so it doesn't financially hurt when it's destroyed. russia does. UPAdline currently loses $100-250M from closed ports daily. Agriculture remains a cornerstone of Ukraines economy, generating about 17% of GDP and roughly 60% of total export revenues (and nearly half of foreign-currency earnings) in recent data. Over 90% of these agricultural exports previously moved through the three Greater Odesa Black Sea ports. Since late July 2026 those ports have effectively halted commercial shipping after intensified Russian strikes on vessels and infrastructure, forcing reliance on limited alternative routes. Russia has simultaneously used Geran-4 Seeker and related precision drones to systematically destroy or disable hundreds Ukrainian locomotives, degrading rail capacity needed to shift cargo westward through Romania and Poland.
>>540527411>farther back or into riskier positions.Anon... how is being further back from the 0 line a riskier position? Besides that, both sides get their tube artillery rekt all the time. SPGs get shrekt too, but less often for obvious reasons
>>540527690>Lostarmour xD
>>540527758frogfag iq xD
>>540528111Give me better geolocalized and visually confirmed data for July
>>540527189pilot here but sheer technological curiosity>less than $1k1. the $100 bucks drones are more cost effective so why are these neessary? radar cannot detect either the 1000 or the 100 bucks ones, so why does it matter? 100 bucks ones can lift up to 1kg2. why are they all suicidal? even hobby drones have clip-ons that can release a payload (500g to 1kg), wouldn't it be more cost-efficient to not burn the 1000 bucks and just design a minimal payload release to reuse the drone? clearly they're used in environments where the enemy cannot really track their return back to the controllerwhat's the deal? low imagination? no economic thought?
>>540528177Probably battery/range for question 2. You want maximum distance so you don't get killed while piloting.Those videos probably don't get shown (I don't know I nignore all the videos from this war other than missiles.)
>russia is winning on AI

>>540528257The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation delivered a combined strike on the enemys energy infrastructure in the Odesa region yesterdayAmong the struck targets:- Odesa TPP- PS "Usatovo" 330 kV,- PS "Tsentropolyt" 330 kV,- PS "Artsyz" 330 kV,- PS "Novoodeska" 330 kV,- PS "Mayaky" 330 kV,- PS "Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi" 110 kV,- PS "Karolino-Buhaz" 110 kV.Hohols need weeks of spaming Crimeas transformers and power nods with these wimpy drones to cause temporary blackouts. Russians in the other hand are capable to generate similar results in one strike.Zelensky just announced that 300,000 households (pretty much entire Odesa city) doesnt have electricity now after this strike.https://x.com/camille_moscow/status/2086544867711135842Thats a sheer power xD
>>540527189Sick production value im glad "isis" is back in business.
>>540528245>>540528328the payload release can be created using a remote over 500 to 800 MHz with an increddible range of maximum 8km in plain sight using hobbyist hardware>price range ~30 to 80 bucks for 12km ranges>I don't know I nignore all the videos from this war other than missiles.Im a hobbyist so just wondering why the innovation gapthe "drone war" meme was a surprise early on from the Ukraniansbut why hasn't anyone innovated on it as the video shows in terms of reducing cost?it feels as if they're pushing out more and more costly drones when atrition wars should be fought with the reverse attitude, namely to reduce the costs
>>540528024Further back OR riskier position, shitfinn

>>540527690idk but that is not much if you look at the estimates of ww1france is estimated to have produced 160-200million shells alone germany and austia+hungary are estimated to have produced 500-700 million shellsgranted these are estimates and the manufacturing industry was still present in europe at the time but those single digit million numbers seem very low in comparrisonsure sure there are more things around than artillery shells these days but still if the current shell production is like that, at least the rest should be somewhat comparable to the rest of the 100 year old industrial capabilitiesand thousands of drones per day doesnt even match that on a year so question is if this war will be expanded further or stay and eventually be solved somehow that image with the cycles of happenings doesnt get out of my mind
>>540529192WWI shells were crude, mass-produced iron/steel casings filled with explosives, simple high-volume industry. Todays warfare prioritizes precision-guided munitions, electronics etc. Low peacetime stockpiles in the West after the Cold War were a "peace dividend." Decades of deindustrialization, high labor/regulatory costs and just-in-time manufacturing gutted heavy munitions capacity. China and Russia retain large state-backed heavy industry, lower costs, and wartime mobilization mindsets geared for quantity+quality. Besides The West lacks even such basic things like active blast furnaces, explosives chemical plants, and forging presses for steel casings. Specialized tooling and skilled labor are gone. Environmental/safety laws make restarting prohibitively slow and costly. Raw material supply chains are offshore. Reactivating this industrial base would take decades far exceeding any plausible wartime timeline. We are currently in the middle of the WW3 xD
Guardsmen from the 38th separate motorized rifle brigade of the 35th army of the "East" group of forces discovered and burned a Ukrainian artillery shelter along with an M109A6 Paladin self-propelled gun today. 47.631151° 35.851449°Around 10 tiny FPVs were needed to weaken the armour enough to burn/destroy the machine irreversibly. Cost of drones around $10k. Cost of the howitzer - $19M
>>540529447maybe we weill see some effort of team blue to get up and push back ( i assume the wiIdberry offensive thing was that ) and when the winter comes and the ground hardens team red will push them back and we will eventually see the actor getting recalled, exile in flow rider, some big conference, a territorial split, licking wounds and basically team red victory on that front followed by decades of picking up broken pieces of glass and porcellain, team blue will likely never recover from this loss of face it seems we're living in tiresome times
>>540527189ok pidor.
>>540528492Honestly, I assume people on both sides tried it and then determined it not worthwhile for whatever reason. My speculation is that protecting the pilots is paramount, but maybe there were other considerations.
>>540527189Whenever Ukrainian drone kills a Zigger that's actually a loss for Ukraine because Ziggers are worthless.

>>540527189Clearly Russia is winning, has already won in fact; this is why they send 30k Russian men to die in Ukraine every month for minimal gains, because they are truly victorious.
Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Yurii Ihnat says Ukrainian media should stop running headlines like "not a single missile was shot down," warning they play directly into Russian propaganda. He acknowledged the underlying problem is real. Ukraine faces a shortage of Patriot interceptors - the main system able to counter Russian ballistics - and deliveries from partners are pending but it is not a reason to tell the inconvenient truth. It is better to give fake interception numbers to rise morale in Ukraine and reduce them in Russia https://x.com/clashreport/status/2086789825273733362Hohols and Pollocks have a certainly one thing in common - lack of brains xD
>>540531854You realize you fags will be the first to get rolled up when Putin mobilizes ? They know where you are, will just send a van around with a couple of guys, and off you go ! You prolly won't even get paid for your final shift, will just get driven straight to the front. I'd be looking for a new line of work if I were you...

Russi struck a Kromberg & Schubert factory recently and production is “halted indefinitely.”The company produced on-board cable systems and harnesses for Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Skoda, and Porsche vehicles. Basically all German cars need these cables as spare parts for assembly, so striking this factory complicated maintenance of German-produced vehicles in UkraineThis was a German-financed facility, advertised a while ago as one of biggest investments into Ukraine.Now it basically doesnt exist anymore.It is a part of newly implemented tactics of destroying Western companies in retaliation to Ukrainian drone strikes vs Russian retailers/refineries. So far the campaign embraces only territory of Ukraine
