Work of the strike copters near Donetsk

Soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion "Sparta" are engaged in bloody battles in the area of the village of Vodiane, north-west of Donetsk.

The footage shows a drone strike with a bomb carrying system. The operator detected the movement of a group of infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and began to drop ammunition from the copter on them.

Several grenades hit the target exactly. At least one Ukrainian fighter was killed, several were seriously injured. A huge role in the successful attack was played by a thermal imager installed on the drone.

Lavrov – about the timing of the end of the conflict in Ukraine: "We are not in a hurry. Our President said this.
Of course, we want to end this war as soon as possible, which the West was preparing so many years and as the result, unleashed against us through Ukraine. But the priority for us is the lives our soldiers, the lives of civilians who remain in the combat zone. We are patient people, and we will defend our compatriots our citizens and lands that have been Russian for centuries, based on these priorities."

"Musicians" ordered "Grad"(gale) and downpour,
This is Wagner - the sky is covered with smoke.
We perform to the symphony of the Valkyries,
Covered the enemy with a blanket of lead.

In Nizhny Novgorod, local residents encircled the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral with the St. George band.

According to them, this is an action in defense of traditional values and to express their support of the Russian armed forces.

An interesting trajectory of an Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile.

Expect blaming Russians for the strikes on the residential areas...

"When a person does not know
to which port he is heading,
for him not a single wind will be fair, ” – Lucius Annaeus Seneca.

Apparently, this is the reason for the vague/non-specific goals of the Special Military Operation. If there are many goals of travel, then any wind will be fair. Wherever the journey ends, this will be its goal and victory. Of all the stated goals of the Operation, I like the last one, voiced by our President, the reunification of the Russian people.

"We try, we try hard, but the damage is such that it cannot be done in an hour or two. There will be enough work here for more than one year... To restore a transformer – it takes more than a month."

That's how Ukrainian power engineers are trying to restore substations damaged by the Russian strike.
