“Ukraine is holding off on additional orders for strike drones from Helsing, Europe’s most valuable defense tech startup, after the company’s weapon systems faced problems in front line tests in battle, according to a German military presentation and people familiar with the matter.
The German company’s flagship strike drone, the HX-2, had trouble taking off in tests by Ukraine’s 14th Regiment, an unmanned aerial systems unit, according to the Nov. 20 internal presentation that was prepared by a group within the German Defense Ministry. The model, which was supposed to include artificial intelligence components designed to help it steer without a pilot, lacked some of those tools, the presentation said.”

Australia-supplied M1A1 Abrams AIM main battle tank in service of the Ukrainian 425th Separate Assault Regiment "Skala."
The tank has been equipped with Kontakt ERA and received a folded anti-drone net (only its skeleton is seen in the photo).

At this stage, the best way to get real impact with limited funding is to directly support Ukrainian manufacturers who work inside the operational environment.
For example, as a developer of the Ukrainian loitering munition Bulava recently explained, foreign producers simply can’t get the same fast, detailed battlefield feedback. Ukrainian teams are in constant contact with frontline units, so drones built just weeks apart can already be very different, shaped by real combat experience. Different units may even receive samples with different technical solutions at the same time.
Foreign companies, on the other hand, are tied to international bureaucracy, strict contracts, and compliance, which slows everything down. A domestic producer will almost always be faster and more flexible when adapting to the specific conditions of their own country. https://twitter.com/Jeff21461/status/2013220845443776586#m

RT @7corpsDSHV: The defense of the Pokrovsk agglomeration continues ⚔️
Russia has committed its operational reserve — units of the 76th Pskov Air Assault Division — but they have already suffered significant losses and are being reinforced in an attempt to sustain offensive momentum.
Over the past week, Ukraine’s Defense Forces have:
🪖 eliminated and wounded 370 russian troops
🚗 destroyed and damaged 86 vehicles
💥 hit 20 artillery systems and SPGs
🛩 destroyed or forced down nearly 1,400 attack UAVs
In Pokrovsk, active Ukrainian counter-actions prevent russian forces from massing in the industrial zone in the city’s northwest. As a result, the enemy is unable to conduct open, direct assaults on Hryshyne — one of its priority objectives in the Pokrovsk area.
In Myrnohrad, Ukrainian forces continue to contain the enemy, while concentrations of russian equipment have been detected nearby. Ukrainian units ar...
