I haven't seen anything reliable yet as to how it was lost, just speculation. Some say it was around Sumy.

Footage of three Ukrainian M109 self-propelled guns being destroyed by Russian FPV drones. The 155mm M109 self-propelled howitzers have been produced in the United States since 1962. The howitzer has a firing range of up to 30 km and a crew of up to 6 people. Ukraine received 90 self-propelled guns of the following versions: M109A3GN, M109A4BE, M109A5O and M109A6/L. The video shows a Russian FPV drone striking a Ukrainian M109 self-propelled gun near the village of Sergeyevka, west of Pokrovsk. Drone footage of a burning Ukrainian M109 self-propelled gun near the village of Liptsy, in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine. And footage of a Ukrainian serviceman from the ground, destroyed by a Ukrainian M109 self-propelled gun, as a result of an attack by a Russian FPV drone in the Sumy region of Ukraine.
Warehouses in Kiev near an airfield were struck by Gerans.
Ukrainian F-16 lost. Pilot was 26 years old not 21. In other bad news, Ukraine also lost its first 18 year old in the front just days in arriving from the front line.
Many Geran strikes across Ukraine hitting logistical and drone manufacturing infrastructure.
Missile strikes on force concentrations of the AFU 82nd and 129th Airborne in Gornal, Sumy region. Likely Tornado-S strikes from the Russian 79th Rocket Artillery Brigade.
Russian offensive happening in South Donetsk closing in on the Dnipropetrovsk border.
Chinese Nationals fighting for Russia in the Frontline are mercenaries, have nothing to do with the Chinese government. There are official Chinese officers in Russia well behind the lines acting as observers, obtaining lessons from the conflict.
Flak over Kyiv.

An episode of the Russian evacuation group in Ukraine. In the video, a Russian Desertcross-1000 buggy, made in China, is used to evacuate two wounded soldiers. Technical information about the Desertcross-1000 buggy is on the channel. During the evacuation, Ukrainian FPV drones try to attack the...

Anyone knows a good assessment on how frequent F-16 sorties are now and information on what munitions they use?
I am guessing this is the same one that was previously reported by the Russians but unconfirmed by the Ukrainians. An F-16 flew low over the Sumy region, footage of it was captured. I assume it was on a glide bomb mission, or escorting MiG-29 or Su-27 on a glide bomb mission. A Su-35 lit the F-16 then sent target information to an S-400 system.
It could also be a newer and separate shoot down.
M777 site got taken out by a drone strike in Turya, Sumy region.

Banned Idiot
Russia has dropped over 10,000 glide bombs in the first 3 months of 2025
and when it comes to drones they are also relentless

That Austrian General Staff colonel who makes videos on Youtube about the developments in the war in Ukraine said in a video a few months ago that Russia could manufacture about 70,000 UMPK bombs this year, he claims that the monthly/annual deployment of the bombs in Ukraine would already be less than the bomb production, which seems to be the case at the present time, because at the current rate of 10,000 UMPK bombs dropped in Ukraine in three months, that suggests a total of 40,000 UMPK bombs dropped annually, which is less than the production that would be according to the colonel at 70,000 UMPK, a difference of 30,000 UMPK.
Another interesting development is that I saw a claim that the Russians are seriously considering developing the UMPK kit for the FAB-5000 and FAB-9000 bombs, they want to somehow deploy these bombs for military purposes.
The military chief Syrskyi gave an interview a few days ago. Plus the usual propaganda.
According to Syrskyi, the Russians were using +40,000 shells daily in reference to the previous year. Seems to imply an +14.6 million shells usage by the Russians in 2024. While in 2025, it is +23,000 shells daily or about +2.3 million shells to date.
Russian mobilization resources is 5 million with military experience and 20 million from the general public.
