Ukraine’s Adaptable Warfare: Drones Dominate, Ambushes Sting, Resilience Endures 🇺🇦

The war in Ukraine is a dynamic, brutal, and evolving conflict. Forget the sanitized narratives. These raw, uncensored reports from the front lines reveal the innovative tactics driving Ukraine’s resilient defense. From game-changing drone strikes deep within Russian territory to meticulously planned ambushes decimating enemy armor, these videos expose the harsh realities of this war and offer critical insights into its trajectory. We’ll dissect the strategic shifts, the human cost, and the technological innovations that are reshaping modern warfare.

Key Takeaways: Adapting and Overcoming

  • Drone Warfare Asymmetry: Ukraine is leveraging relatively inexpensive drones – from small commercial quadcopters modified to drop grenades to purpose-built “kamikaze” drones and long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with a 2000km range – to inflict significant damage on high-value Russian targets like oil depots, ammunition dumps, and even factories producing critical military hardware. This “asymmetric warfare” tactic allows Ukraine to punch above its weight class, disrupting Russian logistics and long-term warfighting capability. Example: The attack on the Kaluga oil depot demonstrates the reach and impact of this drone offensive.
  • Brutal Ambush Tactics: Ukrainian forces are demonstrating a high degree of tactical proficiency in ambushing Russian mechanized units. By utilizing layered defenses, anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs like the Stugna-P), mines, and drones, they are inflicting heavy casualties and disrupting Russian advances. Example: The ambush north of Ivano-Darivka highlights the effectiveness of combined arms tactics, resulting in the reported loss of 120 Russian soldiers in a single minute.
  • Resilience Under Fire: Despite facing a numerically superior enemy and enduring brutal assaults, Ukrainian forces continue to demonstrate extraordinary resilience and adaptability. Their willingness to counterattack, conduct raids, and employ innovative tactics, like using Bradleys for rapid assaults, demonstrates their determination to hold the line. Example: The successful defense and counterattacks near Kurakhove demonstrate Ukrainian adaptability and aggressiveness in challenging Russian offensives.

  • Psychological Warfare: The effectiveness of Ukrainian drones is not just measured in physical destruction but also in the psychological impact on Russian troops. Reports suggest that even the sound of a Ukrainian drone overhead can induce panic and despair.
  • Western Support & Deep Strikes: Western powers lifting restrictions on targeting military objectives inside Russia with longer-range weapons has allowed Ukrainian forces to strike critical Russian military infrastructure and disrupt logistics, significantly impacting their ability to sustain combat operations. Example: The ATACMS strike on the Karachev ammunition depot in Bryansk demonstrates this shift and the increasing reach of Ukrainian firepower.

The Future of the Conflict: A Technological Tug-of-War?

The war in Ukraine showcases the growing importance of drones and technology in modern conflict. The proliferation of affordable, commercially available drones adapted for military use is changing the battlefield. We can anticipate continued innovation in drone technology, counter-drone systems, and electronic warfare. The effectiveness of long-range Ukrainian drones, coupled with the newly authorized use of Western-provided weapons to strike Russian soil, could further strain Russian resources and force them to re-evaluate their strategic priorities.

Today, there are a lot of interesting updates from the Russian Federation.

Recently, Ukrainians finally received Western approval to use Western-delivered weapons to strike Russian military bases on Russian soil. This, combined with recent Ukrainian drone innovations that extend Ukraine’s strike range to 2,000 kilometers, led to a devastating combination of long-range strikes that damaged Russia’s ability to sustain the war both in the short- and in the long term.

The first target of the massive Ukrainian strike became a large oil depot in the city of Kaluga. To destroy it, Ukrainian forces used two long-range drones, causing a massive inferno to erupt in the middle of the city. Interestingly, the Ukrainian military intelligence service revealed that they unleashed new drones with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers away. These drones also have a powerful 75-kilogram warhead, nearly two times bigger than the Russian-Iranian Shahed drones. After destroying the Kaluga oil depot, Ukrainians hit a Russian artillery arsenal near Kotovo in the Novgorod region, 680 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, resulting in a loud explosion audible from several miles away. Later, Ukrainians hit a Russian electromechanical factory in Izhevsk, over 1300 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, which produces Tor air0 defense systems, radars, and other technical components.

Ukrainian drone and missile strikes on ammunition warehouses and oil depots directly impact Russians’ ability to sustain combat operations in the short term. However, strikes on Russian production facilities such as refineries and electromechanical factories severely damage the Russian ability to maintain the war in the long term. The main reason for this is that Russians are unable to produce or adequately repair many different components and manufacturing equipment. This means that by damaging or destroying these facilities, there is a significant chance that Ukrainians have destroyed or otherwise permanently diminished the Russian production capabilities of said equipment.

Moreover, to amplify Ukrainian deep-strike capabilities, the United States, Britain, and France recently allowed Ukraine to strike military targets on Russian soil. Russian forces have over 240 confirmed military objects within Ukrainian striking distance in Russian territory that Ukrainians were previously not allowed to target. These bases include, but are not limited to, airfields, ammunition depots, command and control centers, training and repair facilities, and logistics centers. Russians have used all these objects to conduct their war on Ukraine in relative safety from Ukrainian missile strikes. Now, Ukraine has finally received permission to strike back at these targets and eliminate the imposed safe zone for Russian forces.

The first Ukrainian target for the ATACMS missiles was the Karachev ammunition depot in the Bryansk region. Russian sources also reported heightened Ukrainian drone activity in the region as well, indicating that Ukrainians used drones to exhaust Russian air defense systems prior to the ATACMS strike. The ATACMS strike itself was a complete success, achieving a direct hit on the Russian base with a cluster munition warhead, as locals report hearing over a dozen secondary detonations as more ammunition caught fire. Ukrainian intelligence services report that the facility contained both conventional and rocket-propelled artillery ammunition, including shells provided by North Korea, guided glide bombs, and air defense missiles. As footage shared by local residents shows smoke clouds of a massive explosion rising into the air.

Overall, Ukrainian strike capabilities have been severely enhanced by the range restrictions on Western missile use being lifted, as well as Ukraine revealing to be capable of striking targets 2000 kilometers away with their new long-range kamikaze drones. While Ukrainians do not have a large enough stockpile of ATACMS missiles to strike all 250 known Russian military objects within range, Russians also do not have enough air defense systems to defend all of these targets and their frontline positions simultaneously. Consequently, Ukrainians can pick and choose which undefended bases to hit, exploiting gaps in the Russian air defense network. Unfortunately for Russians, the United States Department of Defense recently announced that they will be sending Ukrainians an undisclosed amount of ATACMS missiles in their upcoming aid package as well. This means that Ukraine’s ability to dismantle Russian military infrastructure will gain even greater momentum, tightening the noose on Russian combat operations and bolstering Ukrainian hopes for a decisive edge in the war.

Today there are a lot of updates from the Siversk direction. Here, after the previous disastrous assault, the Russians decided to change their vector of attack and launched a new massive assault, this time from the northern flank of Ivano-Darivka. In spite of strong pressure from another large Russian mechanized assault, the Ukrainian fighters of the 54th Mechanized Brigade took lessons from the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade and organized a multilayered defense meant to repulse anticipated Russian assaults.

Last time I told you how Russian mechanized assault south of Ivano-Darivka resulted in heavy losses of personnel, tanks, and armored vehicles, leaving many wounded soldiers stranded in the grey zone. It seems like the Russian command figured that the main flaw in their assault was the elevated Ukrainian defensive positions above the village, rendering further attacks in this direction impractical. That is why Russian forces launched a second wave of assaults along the elevated platfrom north of Ivano-Darivka, advancing from the Lysychansk Oil Refinery, where they had amassed numerous armored vehicles for the attack. This route aimed to reduce losses by positioning Russian mechanized units on the same elevation as Ukrainian defenders, hoping to reach and capture their positions. To preserve an element of surprise, Russian forces avoided heavy artillery and aerial bombardment of the Ukrainian positions, which later proved problematic. The anticipated element of surprise failed, as Ukrainian commanders had already expected an assault along the elevated funnel. With only one dirt road leading from the main Russian positions at the Lysychansk Oil Refinery, Ukrainians were prepared to concentrate drone strikes and ATGM operators ont his narrow corridor to repel the assaults. Additionally, the narrowing down of the funnel to about one kilometer in width limited Russian maneuverability during the attack, making it easy for Ukrainian forces to detect and strike.

Combat footage shows that the Russians launched a substantial mechanized assault with eleven armored vehicles and over a hundred soldiers. However, they encountered issues before reaching Ukrainian positions, as Ukrainian forces identified and destroyed Russian tanks and BMPs with Stugna-P ATGMs. Most Russian armored losses were due to ATGM strikes—a rare occurrence, as FPV drones typically cause the majority of losses nowadays. This was likely due to the Russians’ failure to organize a coherent artillery and air support on Ukrainian positions, as alluded to by Russian sources. Standard Russian military protocols suggest that artillery should suppress most ATGM positions before an assault but due to the lack of coordination this did not happen. Russian vehicles that were out of ATGM range were targeted by FPV drones, effectively forcing the remaining troops to retreat to whatever trenches and dugouts they found nearby. Ukrainian forces then deployed Mavic drones armed with grenades to eliminate Russian infantry who continued the assault, sparing only those fleeing the area. This worsened the situation for Russian forces, as disorganized stormtroopers from the damaged BMPs—many wounded—were scattered across open fields, hiding in abandoned and scattered dugouts and trenches.

Overall, despite previous failure, the Russians once again restarted their mechanized assaults towards Ivano-Darivka, resulting in heavy losses with many disorganized and wounded survivors of the assault left in grey zone. The number of Russian troops scattered across the fields near Ivano-Darivka, including wounded, is estimated to be up to a hundred. This assault and the previous one in Siversk direction met severe media backlash in Russia by their military analysts, who criticized the commanders in the area and called for their dismissal for their inability to organize offensive operations. This led to heavy losses in tanks and BMPs by Ukrainian ATGM crews, which not only prevented the Russian mechanized units from making any territorial gains, but also reduced the chances of success of any subsequent attacks due to the deterioration of combat readiness of the broken units.

Today, there are a lot of updates from the Pokrovsk direction.

Here, Russian forces have kept up a consistent but slow advance while Ukrainians are managing a fighting withdrawal against overwhelming odds.

The goal of the Russian forces here is twofold. First of all, Russians are trying to cut off the Ukrainian Kostyantynivka-Pokrovsk highway, splitting Ukrainian forces in two. The second is to take control over the city of Pokrovsk itself. To accomplish this, Russians need to first fully secure their salient by pushing Ukrainians to the Vovcha River. This would remove the threat of Ukrainian counterattacks and secure their logistic routes against Ukrainian drone activity.

Russians have moved a considerable number of brigades to the region to give themselves an overwhelming manpower advantage. This has allowed Russians to keep up a creeping advance, as Ukrainian doctrine continues to value saving soldiers’ lives over holding on to lost positions. As Ukrainians cannot contend with the Russian manpower advantage straight on, Ukrainian forces in the region have adopted several tactics to slow the Russian process significantly.

Firstly, Ukrainians conduct regular counterattacks and raids on Russian positions with armored vehicles and deploy assault groups where Russians are vulnerable. Geolocated footage shows one Ukrainian Bradley driving up and firing on a Russian position to undermine the Russian advance toward the river. Another video shows how two Bradley infantry fighting vehicles fire into a Russian tree line to undermine Russian attacks on one of the settlements. The Footage also shows how, after the Bradleys laid into the Russian trenches with automatic cannons, two Ukrainian assault groups deployed to clear the trenches further and cut off the Russian advancement. The original uncensored footage of Ukrainian assaults with Bradleys can be found on our Telegram channel through the link in the description.

Secondly, Ukrainians mine the approaches to their positions with anti-infantry and anti-tank mines, as shown by this Russian mechanized attack being cut short when the lead vehicle drives over a mine and detonates. Thirdly, Ukrainians target Russian forces with FPV drones and heavy-duty Vampire drones, not only along the contact line but over the entire Russian salient. Ukrainian Vampire hexacopter drones destroy buildings Russians are sheltering in with heavy explosives or by carpet bombing them with individual mortar rounds.

Ukrainian FPV drones fly around and target Russian infantry and shelters, as well as supply trucks and vehicles deeper into the salient, heavily disrupting the Russian ability to launch attacks and sustain prolonged assault operations. The problem of Ukrainian FPVs is so extensive for Russian forces that one Ukrainian drone captured a Russian soldier, choosing to end his own life, as soon as he heard a Ukrainian drone fly over his head, without even attempting to run or otherwise putting up a fight. The original uncensored video of all Ukrainian drone strikes can be found on our Telegram channel as well.

The main defensive line that Ukrainians were making a fighting withdrawal to stood firmly behind the Vovcha River, with fortified positions on the hills overlooking any Russian crossing point. The only weak spot in this Ukrainian defense line was the small settlement of Prohres. One reason for this was the railway line running by the settlement. Defending this railway line is more difficult for Ukrainians, as Russians do not have to make a risky crossing through any open fields and can move through cover toward the Ukrainian positions. Secondly, if we look at the topographic map, we can see that Russians would also be moving over the hill ridges, denying Ukrainians the high-ground advantage.

Russians understood this and launched a massive two-pronged assault on Prohres along the railway line and from Novooleksandrivka from the north. While initially being able to hold the Russians at bay, Ukrainian defenses eventually relented under the intense pressure. Through this, Russians managed to encircle a number of soldiers of the 31st mechanized brigade in a strong fortification meant to provide fire control over the railway line. While senior commanders were slow to act, the junior officers of the battalions took quick action, as they knew that every second counted. With the help of coordinated…

Today, there is a lot of news from the Kurakhove direction.

Here, in the past several weeks, Ukrainian forces have consistently thwarted all Russian attempts to advance further west from Novomykhailivka by employing multi-level tactics designed to exhaust enemy forces and undermine their combat capability. This relentless defense has placed significant pressure on Russian commanders, pressuring them to seek alternative strategies to breach Ukrainian defense lines. Consequently, they decided to open a new vector of attack to the south of Novomykhailivka to find a breakthrough.

Firstly, to achieve this, they decided to use the small village of Solodke as a launchpad for a surprise attack west of Vodyane. The initial Russian assault group consisted of two tanks, as seen in this geolocated video. While attempting to cross the open fields between the two villages and reach a tree line that could serve as a position, they suddenly encountered a Ukrainian minefield. The second tank exploded first, and moments later, the leading armored vehicle also hit an antitank mine, bursting into flames. Although this attack ended in disaster for the Russians, they later managed to capture the tree line and began fortifying their position in anticipation of the Ukrainian response.

The Ukrainians understood that they could not allow the Russians to establish a foothold in the tree line, as it would pose a significant threat to their defense lines near Kostyantynivka and potentially expose their southern flank. Consequently, they responded almost immediately by deploying a Bradley armored fighting vehicle to spearhead a counterattack aimed at clearing the Russian presence from the tree line. The geolocated footage shows the Bradley advancing at high speed while delivering suppressing fire from its main gun. The intense and devastating effect of this firepower is evident, as the vehicle gets within several meters of the tree line, continuing to inflict damage on the Russians from very close range. Subsequently, the Ukrainian infantry assault group disembarks and begins clearing the trenches using various weapons, including grenades. Moments later, the task is accomplished, and another Bradley arrives, delivering additional troops and evacuating a wounded soldier. Russian military bloggers later acknowledged that the outcome of this counterattack was successful, with the Ukrainians successfully recapturing the positions in the tree line. The original, uncensored footage of all operations can be found on our Telegram channel.

The failure of this Russian effort pushed their commanders to again attempt a direct assault against Kostyantynivka. As you can remember, most of the previous attacks in this direction happened north of the small lake that divides the village from the small settlement of Paraskoviivka. This time, however, the Russians chose to strike from the south side of the lake. A geolocated video from the area shows one Russian armored fighting vehicle attempting to cross the field using a similar approach to the earlier Ukrainian attack. Although the vehicle manages to advance slightly, it soon hits a mine and explodes, prompting the surviving crew members to abandon the remnants and seek cover. Minutes later, a second vehicle is destroyed by Ukrainian defenders using an antitank guided missile, and it is subsequently finished off with a kamikaze drone. The next scene in the clip reveals the rapid escalation of the situation, as we see the smoking remains of six or seven Russian armored vehicles in flames, all struck and destroyed in the same area, effectively turning it into a death zone. Several other huge explosions can be seen in the video, showcasing how effective the Ukrainian defense is at rebuffing this new Russian endeavor.

Ukrainians then decided to maintain their proactive campaign to prevent the Russians from amassing large forces by targeting their positions, hideouts, personnel, and vehicles. Soldiers from the Ukrainian 79th Air Assault Brigade published several videos showcasing their engagements with various enemy targets in the area. The first video highlights the skillful work of their FPV drone operators, who are seen hunting Russian troops in open fields and among the ruins of Paraskoviivka. The small village, offering almost no cover due to the intense fighting, became a focal point for Ukrainian attacks. To eliminate any…

Israel’s invasion created Hezbollah & Hamas! ~ Mehdi Hasan vs Piers Morgan Uncensored Bunker Cat
151,277 views | 14,986 | October 1 2024 10:01:05 (875 comments)[ Read more … ] Mehdi Hasan, a veteran journalist and regular contributor to Piers Morgan Uncensored, is known throughout the global media landscape for his scathing takedowns of Piers “Moral Quandary” Morgan and rapid unrelenting debate style. While it’s easy to see why Piers respects the man, what’s surprising is that the two titans of talking have never met before in person. Until now, by two titans I meant Mehdi and Hasan.

Piers invites Mehdi onto Uncensored for a lengthy debate on the conflict in the Middle East and how Israel should respond to the attacks by Hezbollah. And by debate, I mean Mehdi absolutely annihilating everything that Piers Morgan stands for. They also lock horns on the dispute between Israel and Palestine, with Mehdi, again, coming out on top each time, no diddy. They then move onto the war between Ukraine and Russia, and the consequences of an election win for Donald Trump, or Kamala Harris. Viewers are advised to strap in, and try to keep up with how many times Mehdi destroyed Moral Quandary.
