So the Russians have finally started using dumb bombs and cluster munitions in the cities.
This is a big change. Nothing like we've seen in the conflict yet.

This will nicely answer the question whether the Ukrainian urban defense is as strong as they say or thin as paper.

I'm already suspecting the Donbass lines gave us a glimpse since it was the only place where the Russians didn't advance and just pummeled the Ukrainian lines for a few days with heavy artillery. Until the Ukrainians finally started retreating yesterday.

I don't think China is an opportunistic country. This is an attribute the collective western world wants to embed the Chinese mentality to the world. A Fu Manchu thing that depicts the Chinese is nothing more than savage animals.
If that is the case, Putin is not stupid enough to have his back covered by the Chinese.
It's a pity that many of us happily swallow western propaganda.
This kind of agitprop is also applicable to people of other color whenever deemed convenient.

Being opportunistic doesn't mean exploitative, don't let the implication of the word (as commonly used in the west) distract from what's beneficial to both China and Russia, buying rubles when it's cheap and under attack is supporting the Russian economy, helping to prop up its currency, and to be used to pay for Russian imports later.

No, Xi Yazhou today actually said he's connections over in Russia are saying the Russian army is indeed using a lot of DJI and other hand throw small recon drone in Ukraine. However the lack of MALE drone is a real thing. They have heaps of drone footages but none are allowed to be shown due to OPSEC.

Russia has lots of Forpost which are Searcher 2 which is MALE.

Yeah including a Pantsyr,

Which kinda makes me wonder on why it apparently goes alone. The system is inactive tho and apparently got bogged down.

and drone footage from Ukraine side appearing. Indicates that they managed to disperse some of their drones or getting replacement after initial attack.

The concerning part is the apparent of lack of air cover over logistical convoy. The Ukrainian apparently able to properly ambush the convoy.
