A scene from the BARS-Crimea mobile air defense group. The Bars-Crimea mobile group has been defending Crimea from Ukrainian drone attacks for two years. The unit uses foreign-made pickup trucks armed with machine guns, including one captured Ukrainian armored vehicle. With such weapons, the mobile air defense group can engage drones at a distance of up to 200 meters. Thermal imaging cameras are used to detect drones at night. Ukrainian drones are typically launched from Odesa and Mykolaiv, with dozens to hundreds flying daily. It's worth noting that it's physically impossible to repel all attacks, but their number can be reduced. Thanks to foreign satellite reconnaissance and Starlink systems, Ukrainian drones bypass air defense zones and attack Crimean infrastructure and military facilities from various directions.

YesWas there even a truce to begin with?
"The Kremlin said U.S. President Donald Trump had made a personal request to Russian President Vladimir Putin to refrain from striking Kyiv until February 1. Zelenskiy said the truce was supposed to last for a week, starting January 30."
Trump and Kremlin agreed to Feb 1. Zelensky was the only one saying it starts Jan 30.
Rare footage of the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal of Novgorod" and the kamikaze drone "Lancet-51" striking a camouflaged Ukrainian artillery piece of an unknown model. The location of the footage is unknown. Judging by the video, the operator of the "Lancet-51" drone appears to be more efficient.
A combat sequence of the Russian T-90M "Proryv" tank in the Konstantinovka sector. In the video, the T-90M "Proryv" tank fires ballistic trajectories with high-explosive fragmentation rounds at Ukrainian army positions and a dugout at a range of 8 kilometers. It's worth noting that tank battles in Ukraine and the Donbas no longer exist.
Footage of a Russian 300mm Tornado-S MLRS strike on a temporary deployment site for Ukrainian units located in an abandoned building. The video shows the arrival of another group of Ukrainian troops. The video was filmed in the village of Krasnopolye in Ukraine's Sumy Oblast.
Footage of a massive strike by Russian bombs, presumably FAB-500s equipped with UMPK modules, on temporary deployment sites of Ukrainian units located in abandoned buildings. The videos were filmed in the villages of Nesterne, Novooleksandrivka, and Vesyole. The strikes targeted the 152nd Separate Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the 414th Separate Airborne Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The bombs were dropped by a Su-34 frontline bomber.
High-quality footage of a Russian Geran-2 kamikaze drone strike on a Ukrainian Army drone launch site located in an abandoned building. The video shows rotations of Ukrainian service members from the 57th Separate Mechanized Brigade stationed in the building in the village of Shevchenkove Pershe, Kharkiv Oblast. The Russian army used Geran-2 direct-controlled drones to strike the Ukrainian drone launch site.
Footage of the first kill by Russian FPV drones of a Ukrainian M1A1 Abrams tank with the "Mangal and Hedgehog" combined armor system. The video was filmed near the village of Zaliznychne in the Zaporizhia region. The drone models used were not disclosed. The Ukrainian Abrams tank crew was presumably killed after being evacuated due to drone attacks. Dead soldiers were found near the tank; the footage has been removed from the video.
Footage of a Ukrainian F-16AM fighter jet intercepting a Russian Geran-2 kamikaze UAV, possibly a Harpia-A1. It's worth noting that a similar attack has already caused the crash of a Ukrainian F-16. The drone was allegedly hit by a 20mm M61A1 Vulcan automatic cannon.
