DRAGON DRONES AT LIPTSY
The introduction of the Dragon Drone at Liptsy now has its backstory.
Liptsy on the western section of the Kharkiv front lies in lowland with the Russians controlling the hills that extend right up to the residential area.
The Ukrainians spotted the Russians preparing for another offensive against the town in the heavily wooded areas of the hills and decided to stop them before they could launch.
The 13th Border Guards planned a first light attack and their armoured vehicles attacked the forest as the first rays of the sun came up. The initial assault went brilliantly and the Russians were quickly sent fleeing, targeted by drone guided precision artillery fire.
The harder part of the operation was getting the Russians out of their trenches in the forest.
For this the Ukrainians deployed an especially nasty weapon, the new ‘Dragon Drone’. Spewing a rain of thermite along the lengths of the trenches, the fire from the drones quickly ignited the Russian trenches causing the enemy to flee - before long the whole section of high ground targeted and more besides was Russian free and a significant part of the high ground recaptured.
It’s not a nice weapon and not one I’m delighted to see introduced. But Ukraine is fighting Russia, a Russia that uses chlorine gas attacks and thermobarics, and kills civilians like it doesn’t matter, so my moral objections I’ll happily swallow for now. In war, ultimately, there are no rules.
The effects can be seen in the photos.

Sadly Russians will have their own thermite drones in 3-5 months.

Hopefully Ukraine will have rolled out their
mass done attack and anti-drone drone defence programmes by then.
Russians are losing more and more drones every day.
Even 3km up in the sky recon drones are being picked off regularly now.

Blinken’s just equivocated on Sky News. I think it’s time.

Stuff 10/09 - Drone swarm hits Moscow...
Russian stuff blowing up: Drone swarm targets Moscow
Ukraine sent a swarm of drones north to Moscow, striking one of the city’s airports. This Russian thinks the drone attack is funny. He should join the army. He won’t think it’s so funny when his commander sends him on a kamikaze meat assault....
