Kharkiv residents have published footage of strikes by Russian Geran-2 drones. The drones targeted the city's Industrial District and the 330 kV Losevo electrical substation. The drones also disabled the Ukrainian Thermal Power Plant No. 3 in Kharkiv's Nemyshlyansky District. In total, approximately 25 drones were used, and strikes were also carried out on other targets in the city.

Footage of the results of an unusual attack by a Ukrainian "Baba Yaga" drone on a Russian Buk-M2 air defense system. For an unknown reason, the drone's warhead failed to deploy, and it simply landed on the Buk-M2 air defense launcher. In this state, the Ukrainian drone traveled 15 kilometers and was delivered to the rear of the Russian army. The video has been shortened.

Footage has been released of a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile striking a Ukrainian drone assembly plant. It was not possible to determine what drones the facility was assembling. The drone assembly plant was located on the premises of an industrial facility in the Korabelnyi district of Kherson. It's worth noting that the strike occurred during daylight hours, suggesting the plan was to also target the personnel.

It look funny but If they have GPS feedback from the drone, they could follow the buk systems to their hiding place and use the coordinates to destroy them with Atacms/Himars.

A Russian soldier fights five Ukrainian soldiers. This is a scene from a fight between a Russian soldier with the call sign "Mio," from the 60th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, 5th Army, and five Ukrainian soldiers. The name of the Ukrainian unit has not been released.
The video was filmed during the battle for Novohryhorivka in the Zaporizhzhia region. A Russian soldier, spotting Ukrainian soldiers in a building, throws a grenade into the building and opens fire with small arms. After two soldiers are killed, the Ukrainian soldiers decide to retreat, but are ambushed by a Russian soldier. Three Ukrainian soldiers, wounded, are killed in a field by Russian drone strikes. The video has been edited, and the drone attack and the soldiers' deaths have been removed.

Destroying military production potential should be a basic strategy. But unfortunately, Russia still wastes missiles on Ukraine's energy grid.
Isn't all production potential (military or civilian) based on energy? Nothing can run without energy grid. It is always best to go for the root instead of end outcome. If you blow up a missile assembly plant, missile production will be slowed but not the production of components made elsewhere. If you blow up their powerplant, everything will be slowed. Winning a war isn't about two knights in shinning armours smashing each other with maces, killing their horses, poisoning their food and burning their crops would be more easy to do and less costly.

Yes shortened a bit, the extra length were showing Russians with smartphones taking pictures of the drone, then scurrying when an FPV drone approaches.

It is the biggest blunder for Russia that Ukraine can even dare to produce anything in their own country. Russia should be identifying all the factories and destroying them using their missile and drone arsenal. Destroying military production potential should be a basic strategy. But unfortunately, Russia still wastes missiles on Ukraine's energy grid.

Not only does it deny factories a power grid, it also denies drones charging areas for their batteries. This means you have to travel longer to another area where you can charge batteries unless that grid is also knocked out. Then you have to travel even longer.

Residents in the black out areas nearer the front are forced to move out, making it easier for the Russians to shell these areas and identify militarized vehicles from civilian ones.

Attacks against factories making drones and drones components, as well as hangers and warehouses storing drones are attacked almost daily by Gerans and Iskanders.

Cold winter without power will inevitably force civilians to migrate, reducing further your draftable population and increasing the refugee burden and costs on neighboring EU countries which are already grasping with economic crisis of their own.
