RT @olya_rudenko: I’m often asked “what it’s like” in Kyiv.

It’s 2 a.m. now. The Russian attack started around four hours ago.

It started with some drones, most of them intercepted far from the city center.

The missiles came about an hour ago. Only a few, but extremely loud. Intercepted.

Almost immediately, drones come again. These ones get close. They circle above the city center, making the notorious buzzing sound, followed by the sound of the fire shot by the air defense squads trying to take them down.

And where are the people? The most careful ones take shelter: a metro station, a basement, an underground parking a lot. Many stay in their apartment but move to a safer room: the bathroom or the corridor, putting as many walls as possible between themselves and the sounds outside. Many do nothing, staying in bed, hoping for the air defense to do the job.

News comes in that the falling debris hit the top floor of an apartment building in western Kyiv, setting it on fire. In a different part of the city, a report of two injured.

The attack continues. We listen on.

RT @OSINTua: Korean SPGs and MRLSs becoming more popular at the frontline.

That photo of a Russian M1991 MRLS was shared with two months ago from Kreminna area.

RUAF received a huge amount of artillery from Korea. And including the fact that they are long-range — quite hard to destroy them.

RT @AndrewPerpetua: Ukraine does not have an adequate air force, but it can create the effects of an air force using other methods and tools. For example, long-range drones can be deployed in a series of nested concentric circles to mine and harass supply roads, effectively cutting them off.

One layer of drones could strike targets 100 km out, the next at 80 km, then 60 km, 40 km, and finally, the remaining drones could dominate the last 20–30 km leading to the front.

With sufficient drone coverage density, the impact on enemy logistics can closely mirror that of a conventional air force—cutting off supplies and limiting troop movements.

Furthermore, the development of heavier strike drones, with payloads between 100 and 500 kg, can replicate the effects of traditional airstrikes. In conjunction with attack drones, this combination becomes a deadly one-two punch: attack drones locate and relay target positions, and heavier strike drones follow up with rapid and destructive precision.

Once the enemy's rear positions are degraded to this extent, the front becomes unsustainable. The opposing force will be forced to withdraw, regardless of intent.

Ukraine does not need large offensive pushes to defeat Russia. It needs extremely high-density drone coverage to deny Russian sustainment. Land can be taken back piece by piece, without committing to large and costly ground assaults.

@Bob_FitzGerald @LucasFoxNews: 2028ish probably, if the Javelin ramp up to 4000/y is reached next year as per schedule.
