"📌From my observations, with each passing day, the low-altitude sky is increasingly falling under the enemy's control. And it's not just about FPVs and fiber-optic drones—you're not even that afraid of them anymore.

It's about "Martian" and the like. Drones equipped with excellent artificial intelligence, completely immune to electronic warfare, nearly impossible to hear, and sometimes even to see. Due to their extremely high attack speed—one second, and you're already burning inside a vehicle. And plenty of vehicles are burning. Both on the front line and in places that weren't so dangerous before. We move purely on military luck and with God's help.

I haven't seen or heard anything like this on our side yet. There were "Boomerangs" for a while, but that was something else entirely and nowhere near as lethal. And somehow they've disappeared from my field of vision—and not just mine.

A thought occurred to me: the current situation in the low-altitude sky is unfolding just like it did during the Kursk battle, when we got our God-protected fiber-optic KVN drones. Back then, we instantly became head and shoulders above our opponents—even two heads. Now the situation is the same, but completely reversed. And the advantage is on the side of the khokhols.

I hope things will change and our engineering minds will provide a worthy response, especially in terms of countering these birds.

For now, we work as we have been working—and we will continue to work. Just going gray a little faster."

Pokrovsk Direction: The picture around Rodynske is gradually coming out of the shadows—what previously appeared in fragments is now falling into a clear mosaic. Based on video documentation of strikes, it is evident that the enemy is not just sporadically present but is established in various parts of the settlement. This is not about isolated sabotage groups—it is already an extended infiltration with elements of consolidation.

In effect, the enemy is trying to dissolve into the urban built-up area, dispersing their infantry in small groups to avoid rapid elimination and to create constant pressure from multiple directions. Such a tactic allows them to accumulate in depth and gradually take control of individual neighborhoods without launching a frontal assault.

The situation is transitioning into a phase where the main threat is not a rapid breakthrough, but a creeping takeover through dispersal and consolidation. What was obvious has become fact: the enemy is already operating inside Rodynske. From here on, everything will depend on how quickly they are cleared out and prevented from growing this foothold into a full-fledged control node.

Kostyantynivka Sector: The enemy is systematically pressing along the northern sector of Illinivka, using artillery aimed at knocking out our positions and destabilizing the defense ahead of possible assault actions. Additionally, they are actively using FPVs and Molniya-2 UAVs against high-rise buildings in the area west of the greenhouses (southern part of the Berestovyi microdistrict).

Our units are responding—north of Berestok, strikes have been carried out on tree lines where the enemy was attempting to consolidate; fire contact is precise, with personnel casualties. Strikes on enemy infantry north of the Reservoir Control Building have also been recorded—the bastards are being caught in movement and prevented from accumulating.

East of the Shanghai microdistrict, near the lake area, the situation is tense—the enemy is crawling in small groups, trying to infiltrate the urban built-up area. Our drones are engaging them—strikes are measured but regular, aimed at slowing their tempo and preventing consolidation.

In response, the enemy is actively using fiber-optic FPVs against Novodmytrivka, trying to breach our tactical depth and complicate maneuvering. Simultaneously, aviation continues to strike the industrial zone—pressure is being applied to infrastructure to destabilize the defense and create conditions for further advancement.

Overall, the situation is difficult. The enemy is pushing and trying to stretch the defense, attempting to enter the city from multiple flanks. However, our fighters are holding the line, responding to every advance attempt, and preventing the enemy from developing success inside Kostyantynivka.

"The Bear continues to run wild in the border area.

Coordinates have come in indicating that our forces crossed the Vovcha River and are now fighting for Okhrymivka (Northern Wind hinted at this some time ago).

For the Ukrainian forces, the situation on the stretch from Pokalyane to Okhrymivka is now critical.

Apparently, Drappaty will soon be preemptively transferred to another new position again, so that the defeats can be assigned to someone else."

In the Pokrovsk direction, the situation remains difficult.

The enemy is most concentrated on finally capturing Hryshyne.

The occupier is also attempting a maneuver to bypass Novooleksandrivka, using the terrain's natural features.

The goal here is obvious—advancing toward the village of Dobropillia (2.5 km from the city of the same name).

Fierce attacks also continue in Rodynske. There is little control there—one could say practically none. But the enemy is in the same situation. It is a large kill zone through which the occupiers keep pushing.

Attacks toward Bilytske also continue without pause.

Once the enemy finishes off Hryshyne, their next targets will be Rodynske and Dobropillia.

The occupier is also accumulating forces in the Sofiivka-Shakhove area to attack Dobropillia from two sides at once.

From that area, the enemy will also try to advance toward Druzhkivka.

As you can see, the overall picture is complex. It is clear that after completing their preparations, the enemy will launch a broad-front attack.

And the directions of Dobropillia, Druzhkivka, Kostyantynivka, and Lyman will become key in the enemy's spring-summer campaign.

Hulyaipole Sector: The situation around Ternuvate is entering a difficult phase. The northern approach is effectively cut off—the enemy has tightly locked down the area with fiber-optic FPVs, working with surgical precision. Any equipment or supplies are intercepted on approach and destroyed with no chance to maneuver. This severely restricts logistics and complicates rotations; entry from the north is now almost dead.

At the same time, the enemy is pressing on Kopani and Dolynka with heavy artillery. The strikes are targeted—they are knocking out our UAV control points to blind the sector and reduce the density of our aerial control. A systematic attempt is underway to blind us before further movements.

In response, our units struck an enemy pilot base in Zaliznychne, specifically in the industrial zone. That means there can no longer be any gray zone there—if enemy pilots are concentrated there, essentially already operating against Hulyaipilske, Charivne, and Novoselivka.

Oleksandrivka Sector: The situation in this sector is shaping in our favor, as we are eliminating the enemy before they can develop into anything serious. The key factor is aviation—strikes on the Krasnohirske area and west of Novomykolaivka have disrupted their entire operational logic. The enemy was trying to set up shelters there for future consolidation and force buildup. In effect, those points have been rendered unsuitable for defense or launching offensives.

Further, our fighters' work around Ternove: the southern part of the settlement was a staging area for the enemy, where personnel concentrated and a UAV control point was set up to provide reconnaissance and fire adjustment. Our units struck those nodes precisely. Without proper drone operations, their assaults turn into chaotic, uncoordinated rushes.

On the southwestern flank, near Verbove, paratroopers from the 82nd Separate Air Assault Brigade sealed the situation. The Wild Division unit eliminated infantry along with motorcycle groups—the orcs actively use light mobility to quickly cross open areas and latch onto treelines or ravines. But here, that tool failed them; the groups were detected and destroyed.

In summary, the enemy has no stable foothold. They are being hit on three key elements simultaneously: shelters, assembly points, and mobile assault groups. This means they are forced to constantly start from scratch, without the ability to build momentum. Our side holds the initiative through preemptive strikes and control over tactical nodes, preventing the enemy from even entering a phase of full-scale offensive.

Pokrovsk Direction: Around Rodynske, the situation is entering a phase of burning out enemy positions. Our aviation is conducting targeted strikes on high-rise buildings—structures the enemy uses as improvised fortifications and dispersal points. The objective is to leave no usable shelter, turning the city into an open, exposed zone where any concentration immediately becomes a target.

Effectively, a dead zone is being created where the enemy cannot properly bring up reserves or hide infantry before a push. This is battlefield preparation for further containment and disruption of their offensive intentions in this sector.

At the same time, the enemy's plan is clearly readable. Their main vector is to reach and consolidate in the area of the Zaporizka Mine. If they succeed, they will effectively close the pocket, straighten the line, and gain a convenient strongpoint for further pressure.

Their secondary task is to latch onto the area of Mine No. 2 Vodyanska. This would create a bridgehead from which they could launch an offensive toward Shevchenko–Svitle, gradually expanding the wedge and trying to destabilize our defense on the flanks.

Our current actions are disrupting this logic at the preparation stage—by destroying shelters and making accumulation impossible. This is a battle not just for territory, but for the very ability to launch an offensive in this area.

Kostyantynivka Sector: The enemy is shifting to combined pressure—not only with fire, but also psychological. In the Dovha Balka area, leaflets with calls to surrender have been scattered. This is a typical marker of preparation for increased activity; the enemy is trying to undermine morale before pushing harder. However, there is no foundation for this—our units are holding positions, and there is no talk of any "demoralization."

The same picture is occurring in Kostyantynivka itself—central areas are being littered with the same propaganda materials. The enemy clearly overestimates the effect of this pressure; their calculation that the city is tired is not working. Their current scenario is to push not by force, but by cunning—but on the ground, this is not translating into results.

Regarding the tactical situation: main activity is now shifting south of the Promyslovyi microdistrict, where the enemy is trying to probe for weak points and destabilize the defense with local actions. Simultaneously, the gray zone is expanding around the Hora microdistrict. It is through this sector that the enemy likely plans to form a further vector of advance toward the city center—in other words, preparation of a corridor for deeper entry!

On other flanks, the situation is under control: attacks are being repelled, the enemy has no rapid advance, and is forced to constantly search for new pressure options.

Sloviansk-Lyman Direction: The situation is difficult, but control is still holding. Around Nykyforivka, our units continue to be present—this in itself is an indicator that the line has not collapsed, despite systematic pressure. The enemy is actively targeting the western flank with heavy artillery, trying to destabilize the defense and push us out through attrition rather than a rapid breakthrough.

In the Mykolaivka sector, enemy aviation has been active—again, airstrikes in conjunction with fire adjustment. The involvement of Rubicon is also observed—they are providing reconnaissance data and marking our positions for precision strikes. This is coordinated work, making it difficult to hold even covered points.

Ozerne and the Yampil area remain under constant pressure! Our forces are still present there, but the situation is gradually worsening—the enemy is increasing fire density and trying to push us out with series of strikes, preventing consolidation or regrouping. This is effectively an attempt to push through by gradually grinding down positions.

Lyman itself is being targeted with drones and artillery, working on the eastern flank. The orcs are trying to weaken the edge, find a gap, and latch onto at least a minimal bridgehead. For now, without success—no rapid entry or consolidation, but pressure does not let up.

The key problem in both sectors is the high concentration of enemy UAVs and a well-organized control system. This means the enemy holds the initiative in the air at the tactical level. Without eliminating their control points and operators, this carousel will only keep spinning.

We keep working!

Russia seemingly, has very few answers, just some big juicy targets. Granted, Ukraine is also being bombed, but let me tell you, huge numbers of Russian drones are being shot down. Anyway, let the Generals sort it out and come up with answers.

My contacts in Kiev are reporting mass TCC raids in the city today, entering apartment blocks, visiting universities, and men being loaded into trucks. There also seems to be some sort of separation going on, younger men are loaded into trucks with Azov signs on the side.
I'm doing some guess work here, maybe these things are not connected but younger men are definitely put into Azov trucks, maybe they weren't grabbed today, but anyway, large numbers of men are being rounded up.

On the current situation

Yes, we're not coping. We're all in this together. Me, and you, who are reading this text. For four years, we've been living in a state of limbo. The army is fighting, but the rest of us could just sit this out. The redeployment on the Kharkiv front gave an impetus to changes, but it fizzled out. After repelling the 2023 counteroffensive, we convinced ourselves that victory would just fall into our laps. We just had to wait.

No, it didn't fall. The enemy mobilized his modest resources. He switched to drone technology and is pushing hard for a robot war. That's when we'll have to trade a living human for an aerial creature.

Ukrainians have another strong trait. They've switched to total war. In recent months, they've intensified mobilization exponentially. Now they're even inserting religious narratives into their propaganda. You can laugh all you want, but the Ukrainian leadership is preparing to win this confrontation. They've discarded all other options and staked everything on a military solution.

I can't say the same about us. We're still concerned about the price of lattes. This is a dangerous trend. In war, pragmatism and fanaticism will triumph in the end.

We're being lured into negotiations while the West constantly increases the costs of our country's military operations. But what will we do if we fail to reach an agreement this year?

For now, it seems the Ukrainians won't withdraw from Donbass. They can only be defeated on the battlefield. You can throw stones at me, but under current circumstances, we won't be able to break their back.

I'll say it again: we're being led down the path of controlled escalation. This is a sure way to the gallows. It's time to turn the tables. Mobilization and waging total war with all our strength and resources is a very logical decision. Yes, our lives will get worse, but we'll live. Don't kid yourself - no one will leave us in peace.

So drink your latte with banana flavor while politicians discuss peace. If the negotiations fail, we'll start packing our bags and studying drones at full speed. There's no other option.

P.S. In my understanding, total war isn't about blocking the internet. Total war is about mobilizing all available resources and using them as efficiently as possible. Without internet and communication, we won't be able to transition to a robot war.

‼️ Ukrainian media predict a semi-encirclement in the Sumy region

The Russian Armed Forces have begun active assaults in the Sumy region. The worst possible scenario: Sumy could find itself in a semi-encirclement, — stated the journalist of a major Ukrainian publication, Kirienko

I'm sure that right now, when those who are supposed to defend Tuapse or Ust-Luga are asked: "What the fuck are those drone wreckage doing, setting oil refineries on fire?", the responsible persons reply: "Just look at the Persian Gulf, there too Iranian drone wreckage are setting oil refineries on fire".

There's a simple military sequence in defending objects, and if there's not enough intelligence for something new, then you need to act in accordance with the regulations and instructions, which basically cover everything. Of course, the regulations don't say: "When an attack by a drone like the 'Lutiy' occurs, move the trigger lever to the rearmost position with your right hand and release it, loading the cartridge into the chamber", but in general, it's quite intelligently explained how to defend objects against air attacks.

I'll say something controversial, but I can't draw any other conclusion. We have everything to repel not yet so massive drone attacks. There's something in warehouses, arsenals, BHVT, at commercial manufacturers. Some regions are excellent at repelling air attacks, while for others, the arrival of a couple of drones turns into a tragedy, so I draw the logical conclusion that it's a matter of a lack of intelligence, not technology. After all, intelligence is needed not only to organize an air defense perimeter at a particular object, but above all to form a general perimeter, to properly distribute tasks, to build logistics, to interact with the civilian sector, etc. As the old man Clausewitz said: "Military affairs are easy and understandable for any average mind, but fighting is difficult".
