Ukrainian War Developments

I'm kinda suspect they succeeded in dispersing the drone and make use of Local road for operation. The initial strike might be succeed in wiping some in airbase but. Those got dispersed are now taking off. Thus the reason why we start seeing the footage.

Regarding operator tho.. Operating from Poland seems unlikely as the Line of Sight for the GCS isnt there. This is example when operated from Polish Border.

The GCS must be still within the Ukraine.. or airborne in an aircraft. Aircraft one would be challenging as it has practically no LOS limitation, and can actually within NATO country border. I'm curious tho if VKS have ELINT like TU-214R deployed as this might actually pinpoint the location of the GCS for further action.

The day is starting over in the US.

I have noticed particularly at this time of the day the information war turns against Russia, however during day light hours in Ukraine it's the other way around because facts on the ground don't lie.

Rockets and bullet don't care about twitter. The victor will (re)write the history. But people in the west will probably build temples for the ghost of kiev.

No, twitter/reddit and Western media is on your side. There's a difference.

And no, it wasn't the case on "Day 1".

You apparently haven't been following the changes on the actual battle map.

Why does Ukraine still has drones and is then allowed to fly them?

ELINT would be so much more useful had Russia shut down civilian comm network in the area. Even if the command system is airborne someone still has to coordinate the ground team with long range communication, right now they could literally be just using cell phones...

This applies to so many things in general: recon, artillery spotter, command...etc

Are the Russians getting "smashed"?

Is that why Ukraine's Eastern army + Kiev is surrounded, and it's Southern flank collapsing?

Or having enough number crunching capability to sort out the proper signal. ELINT aircraft flying at high altitude is expected to deal with traffic of millions of pulses from over hundreds of emitters and sort them out.

US are flying JSTARS and other recce platform near the Ukraine which may provide considerable amount of intel. Also there is UAV GCS that needs to be sorted.

Like I said at least a battalion worth of equipment a day lost. Visually confirmed:
