Valerii Riabykh, Development Director at Defense Express, stated that the situation on the battlefield is entering a very interesting phase. According to him, Ukraine’s Defense Forces have significantly enhanced their capabilities to defeat Russian occupying forces.

He noted that, particularly at the beginning of May, the number of destroyed Russian command posts increased, indicating Ukraine’s growing technological capacity. One notable example was a successful operation that destroyed three units of the Iskander missile complex division.

Riabykh emphasized that Ukraine has acquired all the necessary components to carry out such strikes and has integrated them using the Link system implemented in F-16 fighter jets.

He added that Ukraine’s Armed Forces have likely been using ballistic missiles against enemy targets for about a year. Many experts and analysts have been unable to identify the means used in certain strikes that hit enemy targets, suggesting that Ukraine may have been secretly testing its own ballistic weapons.

According to Riabykh, there are strong indications that Ukraine has already begun testing its domestic ballistic missile system under real combat conditions and may be entering serial production. He also recalled that President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly hinted at this development. Various signs pointed to it — particularly the fact that over the past year, military analysts were often unable to determine what exactly had struck targets deep inside enemy territory, which strongly suggests that these were live combat tests of a Ukrainian ballistic system.

One has to wonder whether one (or more) of the US tech billionaires is behind these recent developments. I think I would if I was one of them. Hopefully they haven’t all had the capacity for good entirely sucked out of them.

That’s called making a difference btw.

Not my words.....

Pokrovsk direction update:

Things are falling apart for the Russians near Udachne-Kotlyne. When the pigs sit too long on marked coordinates, their own drones drop death on them. Then they crawl out, dazed — like one today, who surrendered to our guys without a fight, filthy and broken.

Combat continues to hunt down enemy positions. The grey zone is expanding north of Zvyrove, with Russians trying to dig in.

They’re also trying to set up north of Shevchenko. Our drones hit them, but they’re still crawling forward. Same story by the railway toward Chunyshyne — still desperate to retake Dacherske.

We see fresh meat arriving — rotation underway, new battalions moving in. Their formation suggests a flanking attempt on Pokrovske.
They’ll try to squeeze from both sides — probably soon.

Let’s see what new suicidal trick they come up with.
But one thing’s clear — they’re gearing up to break through from the west, and they’ll bleed trying.

Slava Ukraini.

Russian stuff blowing up: New prisoner exchange brings more Ukrainians home

Was Ukraine’s strike on the Kerch Bridge just a test for a different operation? This article suggests Ukraine might target a Russian nuclear submarine stationed on the Pacific coast. In light of the massively successful operation Spiderweb, showing...

Of particular note, the TACO junta has not even responded to Zelenskys request to BUY additional air defence.

Krasnov is punishing Ukraine again.

Also of note it was actually Israel who supplied the recent additional Patriot missiles and batteries.

Here'a a new one, according to Newsweek, Russia won't end Ukraine war until NATO "pulls out" of Baltics.

Also, attacking a Russian Nuclear sub is not, repeat not a good idea. I think Russia would go Nuclear if this happened.
I am a strong supporter of Ukraine but this is liable to escalate things.

Attacking aircraft or ships that are being used to launch cruise missiles is one thing. A nuclear submarine or nuclear silos is another
I'd like to know where those Black Sea ships ruSSia is using for its cruise missile launches are based

Astonishing video...

LOL, given half of Nato is excersising in Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia, right now, I'd consider the chances of that happening are slightly less than City signing wirtz.

Don't need to hit one of those, just go after normal vessels, they have enough of them.

Numerous ports on their Black Sea coasts from Georgia NW, they rarely come out to play very far from port before launching for fear of drones, then scuttle back to port quickly.

They can't get out of the Black Sea, Turkey won't let them through.

It was widely discussed a year or more back that the war in Ukraine is a huge leap forward in military thinking and weapons development. Cheap crude drones going up against multi million dollar weapon systems and hardware and coming out on top.

All of the Western military thinkers and arms manufacturers will be watching closely. And many doing more than watching. If you are an arms manufacturer you have to be there and why would you not get involved with UKA weapons development. In business terms it's a huge opportunity to develop and live test new capabilities. And all in a good cause.

Abrams tanks are a victim of this.
Weak armour on the top and turret.
This is why we hear very little about them.
Dogshit v Drones.

Exactly. So if you design tanks for a living you are going to be there and you are going to want access to the intelligence and details coming back from the battlefield. Often real time video footage.
