    intel and precision weaponry...not sure of the origin but appreciative of the results, especialy with the importance of drones

    good to see offensive use of air power continuing to be pushed forward. what losses are tolerable and what losses russian can inflict will be cat and mouse


    question, with the correct data uplink, why can't I fly drones for ukraine from here if ground crews can sustain flights there could be trusted volunteers around the globe flying 24/7 recon for them on routes programmed by Ukraine


    Ukraine’s Precision Strike Shatters Russia’s Elite $7M Drone Command Base in Kursk

    On April 19, the Ukrainian Air Force carried out a powerful and accurate strike on a major Russian drone operations facility located near the village of Tyotkino in Russia’s Kursk region. This facility was known to be a center for preparing and launching drones used against Ukraine.

    According to information from Ukraine’s General Staff, this facility was responsible for equipping and launching various types of drones — including reconnaissance drones, attack drones, and First Person View (FPV) drones. These drones had been used regularly to attack Ukrainian positions and observe movements inside Ukrainian territory.

    The Ukrainian Air Force conducted the strike with the goal of weakening Russia’s drone warfare capabilities. The facility was considered a vital part of Russia’s military operations and played a central role in drone-related activities. Up to 20 Russian drone operators were reported to have been eliminated in this strike, significantly disrupting drone operations along the border.

    hmmm...major logistical upset soon after major drone control abse taken out and failed offensive spent many russian resources...time for a coorrdinated counterpunch and go get some russain territory, blow up the bridge, and offer to trade it for Crimea

    oddly enough, Putin is offering truce to freeze lines while he can rebuild his logistics. only a fool or employee like djt would believe him

    Ukraine war latest: Explosions rock what could be one of Russia's largest weapons arsenals in Vladimir Oblast

    Explosions have erupted at a Russian weapons arsenal in Vladimir Oblast on April 22, causing a fire, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on Telegram.

    According to Ukrainian defense media outlet Militarnyi, the facility in question is Russia's 51st Arsenal of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate – one of Russia's largest weapons arsenals, located about 530 kilometers (330 miles) from the Ukrainian border.
    .............................
    Analysis of imagery from the facility suggests that the arsenal stored a wide range of weapons, including medium-caliber artillery shells and missiles for anti-aircraft systems, Militarnyi reported.NIn addition to specialized equipment, the 51st Arsenal and similar bases under the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate are believed to store large stockpiles of heavy artillery shells, munitions for multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), and small arms ammunition.

    The facility has a history of similar incidents. On June 22, 2022, a detonation of ammunition occurred during unloading operations, killing three servicemen and a civilian specialist and seriously injuring another.
