The biting wind of a late autumn evening in Iraq still chills me when I think about it. Back then, we relied on expensive, sophisticated surveillance and attack systems. Today, watching the unfolding War in Ukraine, I’m struck by how dramatically the battlefield has changed. Videos circulating online showcase the devastating effectiveness of relatively inexpensive, commercially available FPV drones in the hands of Ukrainian forces. One video depicts a near-catastrophic Russian armored assault near Siversk, thwarted by skilled drone operators, leading to the arrest of several high-ranking Russian generals. Another highlights the impact of Germany’s supply of advanced HX-2 Karma drones, promising to further disrupt Russian armored advances. These aren’t just isolated incidents; they represent a fundamental shift in modern warfare, driven by the proliferation of readily accessible technology. The low cost and high impact of these systems are forcing a re-evaluation of military tactics and strategies on a global scale. Even the use of long-range precision-guided munitions like ATACMS is changing the dynamics of the conflict, causing disruptions deep within Russian territory.
A disastrous Russian offensive near Siversk was decisively repelled by Ukrainian forces using FPV drones, leading to the arrest of multiple high-ranking Russian generals. This highlights the effectiveness of even relatively inexpensive drone technology in countering superior numbers of armored vehicles.
Ukraine has demonstrated its ability to carry out long-range strikes deep within Russian territory using ATACMS missiles, targeting ammunition depots and other military infrastructure. This capability is impacting Russia’s ability to sustain its war effort.

The trends emerging from these videos and broader conflict analysis point towards an increasingly asymmetrical and drone-centric battlefield. The low cost and ease of use of FPV drones will likely continue to be a game-changer, forcing armies to adapt their tactics to counter swarm attacks and the precision of small, easily deployable drones. We can expect to see continued innovation in drone technology and counter-drone measures, as both sides in the conflict and other global militaries seek to exploit or mitigate their strategic impact. I anticipate a surge in investment in drone defense systems, along with the further development and deployment of autonomous and AI-powered drones, leading to a more complex and potentially unpredictable future of warfare. The reliance on readily accessible, inexpensive technology will reshape military doctrines globally, making the procurement of effective countermeasures an imperative.
In conclusion, the War in Ukraine is showcasing a profound transformation in modern warfare, driven by the widespread availability of affordable and highly effective drone technology. This is not just a regional conflict; it is a proving ground for new strategies and technologies that will have global implications for military forces across the world. The implications for conventional warfare are immense, demanding a reassessment of traditional military doctrines and resource allocation.

A little-known fact: The Bayraktar TB2, a Turkish-made drone, gained early notoriety in the War in Ukraine for its successful strikes against Russian armor. Its relatively low cost and ease of use made it a highly effective weapon for the Ukrainians in the early days of the conflict.

Today, there is a lot of news from the Siversk direction.
Here, under mounting pressure to achieve promised results, Russian commanders launched a desperate final wave of armored vehicles to breach the Ukrainian stronghold around Ivano-Darivka. However, this move ended in such a disaster, that the Russian generals were arrested and the whole Russian Siversk offensive was completely canceled.
After initial Russian attempts to storm the Ukrainian defensive positions on the hill ridge above Ivano-Darivka from the south led to heavy losses, Russian forces changed the vector of their attack to the north-east of the village, using the Lysychansk Oil Refinery as an operational base to gather forces but again with no success. This renewed failure caused a backlash in Russian media with prominent military analysts putting local commanders under heavy criticism and requesting their dismissal.
With everything on the line, the responsible Russian command staff in the region launched another wave of assaults in a desperate attempt to achieve some results, save their public image, and rescue their military careers. The new assault wave consisted of a turtle tank, multiple tanks equipped with smaller cages against FPV drones, and multiple infantry fighting vehicles. These vehicles used again the dirt road from the oil refinery to reach Ukrainian positions quickly, shortening reaction time for the defenders.
Drone operators from the 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade Rubizh of the National Guard of Ukraine have released a video showcasing the strength and preparedness of their regional defenses. The footage emphasizes the critical role of early detection in successfully repelling enemy assaults. Typically, drone reconnaissance units conduct continuous day and night surveillance across every sector of the frontline. This persistent monitoring prevents surprise attacks and ensures swift, decisive reactions, an essential factor in maintaining effective defense.
Leading the Russian column was a heavily fortified “turtle tank,” outfitted with solid metal plating, additional protective cages, and electronic warfare systems, all designed to ensure its progress to breach Ukrainian defenses. Images reveal the moment a Ukrainian FPV drone struck the tank; despite being shrouded in smoke from the explosion, it pressed onward. The footage then shifts to the perspective of a kamikaze drone, bypassing the next tank in the column to focus on targeting the third vehicle. This tactic aimed to maximize disruption and chaos within the Russian assault group, effectively hindering their advance.
The turtle tank and the second tank pressed forward alone, leaving the rest of the convoy behind. Ukrainian drone operators quickly deployed additional FPV drones, inflicting further damage on the turtle tank and eventually bringing it to a halt. This forced the crew of the second tank to change direction, turning it sideways—a risky maneuver that soon proved disastrous as Ukrainian forces enhanced the dense minefields in the area. As a result, the second tank struck a mine and erupted in a spectacular explosion. Moments later, another tank advancing from the rear met a similar fate, exploding after being hit by a drone strike.
The Ukrainians then focused on the rear of the column, launching simultaneous drone strikes that highlighted their operators’ skill and the Russian convoy’s unpreparedness. In the video’s final moments, they showcased the destruction of the remaining enemy vehicles, including the abandoned turtle tank.
Following this third major setback, outcries from Russian military bloggers grew so intense that the Russian Ministry of Defense was compelled to arrest and remove several high-ranking officers within the 3rd Combined Arms Army overseeing this sector of the frontline. Among those dismissed were the army’s commander, the chief of staff, and the commander of the 7th Motorized Rifle Brigade. They were charged with submitting false reports to their superiors and orchestrating poorly conceived assaults near Siversk. This series of failures resulted in hundreds of Russian casualties, with many wounded soldiers dying on the battlefield without evacuation, while Ukrainian strongholds remained intact and their defenders with no losses.
Sources within the Russian military revealed that authorities also removed the commanders of several unnamed battalions and are investigating the…

Germany Had Enough of Russia – GET OUT OF UKRAINE!Oracle Eyes587,212 views | 7,589 | November 19 2024 22:48:00 (944 comments)[ Read more … ]
In 2024, it is possible to destroy a tank worth millions of dollars with a $500 FPV drone.
For this reason, the Russian army is using tanks more like mobile artillery to protect their tanks and provide fire support from safer distances.
The Russians thought they were protecting their tanks with this and some camouflage tactics.
However, the latest move from Germany has shattered this idea of the Russians.
Germany has been the second largest arms supporter of Ukraine throughout the Russian occupation, dealing a heavy blow to Putin’s invasion campaign.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that the drones to be delivered on November 18, 2024 are the HX-2 Karma, manufactured by the European defense technology company Helsing.
This was an important step in strengthening Kiev’s defense and offensive capabilities.
These powerful tank-busting drones are capable of stopping the Russian advance and giving Russian armored vehicles hell.
