Footage of the strike by the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal of Novgorod" on a Ukrainian protected electrical transformer at the 330 kV Sumy-Severnaya substation. Note that the operator guided the drone and attacked the transformer, which was located in a concrete shelter. Reinforced concrete shelters are being built in Ukraine to protect electrical substations from Geran-2 drone strikes.

We can cancel the H-20 now.
30mm based AA system using AI tracking, or to put it more simply, motion tracking software with sophisticated algorithms. It's looks like a 2A42 is used but a 2A72 can also be used. These systems are being called ZAKs and are being widely deployed. From the way it looks, it can also be fitted on a BMP or BTR.

Seems like even they don't believe anymore that Russia could conquer Europe by conventional means.
As for nuke warfare…. China won’t allow it.
Oreshnik just used on Kiev. This one seemed to have more warheads?
SBU building hit by Geran-2 drone.
Ukrainian FP-1/2 shot down by a new Russian AA turret. We will probably see more of these defensive systems used by mobile fire teams.
Ukrainian mobile fire group gets hit by a Geran drone. Although in cases like this, a Gerbera might also be used. Mobile fire teams are currently among the better options for anti drone defense although it does come with its own risks.
Ukraine trying to erect defensive structures around electrical substations and transformers as more of the grid goes dark from drone strikes. Globally, transformers are in a crisis shortage with wait times measured in years. A Lancet successfully strikes a transformer despite the protection.

Ukraine must recognize Russia's foreign policy and national security interests as primary above all else. So even if Russia doesn't conquer Ukraine, at minimum, Ukraine must respect Russian interests as foremost and subordinate itself to Russian geopolitical interests, including separating from EU/NATO memberships and end acute hostility towards Russia. Anything else is a strategic loss for Russia. Russia doesn't need more land, it needs less NATO-aligned neighbors. Russia must impose an unequal treaty that subordinates Ukraine to Russia and recognize Russia as their suzerain overlord.
No, in the first video (6x MIRV in each grouping 6x in total) are so far away they look like one missile when viewed from a distance.
In the 2nd video we see it from someone nearly right under it and the first time we see a Oreshnik strike with a clear skies. But its still just 6x groupings of 6x MIRV. As it was with the first use.
