The Ukrainian new production directional mine PVP-50, based on the Russian MON-50.

The Chinese-Russian collaboration PGI Technology claims it is now producing 55 km and 60 km fiber optic coils for FPVs. Such very large coils are unwound from the inside.

Watching this Russian detonate a landmine at very close range, one wonders what kind of culture produces this reckless behavior with such poor regard for his own life.

Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Russian defense and industrial conglomerate Rostec, is not impressed with Western armored vehicles including the Bradley IFV. “We study all the trophies that come our way. If we come across something useful, of course, we add it to our ‘piggy bank’. 1/

Russian correspondent Sergei Shilov believes that Ukraine will massively cover frontline roads with net tunnels, and that Russia must as well. “Roads of Death, Corridors of Life 1/

An experienced Russian sniper explains the dramatic changes for snipers brought about by drones. “Complete destruction of ‘invisibility.’ Previously, a sniper could lie under camouflage for hours, blending into the terrain and being virtually invisible to ground infantry 1/

Ukraine's operation was not just brilliantly executed but perfectly timed. Russian blogger “Russian Arms” said the following just yesterday! “❗️⚡️Over the past two weeks, the Russian Armed Forces have redeployed about 40 Tu-22M3 long-range bombers to the Olenya airfield, … 1/

Russian blogger “Mad Dogs” describes the deadly tactics of Ukrainian FPV teams. “Enemy Methods: How They Lure Us into an FPV The enemy has become craftier—they no longer fire indiscriminately but operate with pauses, like experienced hunters. They fire, then lie low. 1/

The Russians report that the Ukrainian ZAL-14 (ЗАЛ-14) bomb contains 10 kg of explosive and forms an EFP (Explosively Formed Projectile) that penetrates a meter of concrete. Seen being loaded under a “Vampire” heavy bomber drone, it is designed to destroy bunkers and buildings.

Russians destroy a PFM-1 “Petal” anti-personnel landmine with a shotgun. Keep in mind that CAT-UXO says that when this blast landmine explodes hearing damage can occur up to 5m, and secondary fragmentation can be propelled to a radius of 25 to 100m.

A Russian blogger explains that thermal cameras are now the primary sensor on the Ukrainian battlefield. “Modern warfare has completely shifted from the visual plane to the thermal one. 1/

The Russians are responding to relentless Ukrainian “Hornet” UAV attacks on their logistics vehicles by deploying mobile machine-gun teams. As this video shows, some Hornets will inevitably be shot down, but the solution is to relentlessly increase their numbers.

Russian blogger “Philologist in Ambush” (Svyatoslav Golikov) warns Ukraine is no longer just flooding the front with drones. It is building an adaptive, networked strike system that is increasingly outpacing Russian EW and logistics defenses. 1/ [Ukrainian “Hornet” UAV strike]

“A motorcycle is a chance, not armor…race or die.” A Russian describes tactics for escaping an FPV. “‘Race or die.’ 🛩 An FPV drone is a flying kamikaze. Your motorcycle is speed, but not armor. A mistake is death. 1/

A Russian fiber optic FPV deployed as a “waiter” on a road is equipped with a second, rear-facing camera. Ukrainian ground units that have eliminated these ambush FPVs by approaching from the rear aspect to shoot the FPV or cut the fiber cable must be wary of this development.

An interesting characteristic of the Russian “Yolka” interceptor drone is the lack of a warhead, reportedly due to regulatory barriers during its development. It relies solely on kinetic energy to knock down a UAV, which, as seen here, does not always suffice.

The Russians are dismantling a North Korean rocket to remove shaped-charge submunitions similar to the US M42. The submunitions are contained in a cassette that will be expelled at some height by an ejection charge, releasing the “bells.”

When one TM-62M anti-tank mine just isn’t enough. A double mine bomb is dropped by a Ukrainian Baba Yaga drone. Then, a TM-62M gets two buddies, in the form of an 82mm mortar shell and an RKG-3 grenade warhead.

The Chinese launch thousands of drones from special containers carried by a “transformer” truck. Currently used by a civilian drone light show company, the concept extrapolates to rapid launches of massive military drone swarms.

Russian blogger “Reporter Filatov” on how Russian Generals and the military-industrial complex cannot understand FPVs and the small drone warfare revolution. “About FPV and that the world will never be the same. 1/

The interior of a Ukrainian “Heavenly Punishment” improvised anti-personnel drone-dropped landmine is examined by a Russian. One side of the 3D-printed casing is thin and flexes easily, allowing electrical contacts to close and detonate the C4 main charge.

This Russian is either a Terminator, or is so high on methamphetamines and alcohol that he just ignored a fragmentation drone bomb explosion right at his feet.

A Russians disassembles a Ukrainian PVP-50 (ПВП-50) anti-personnel directional landmine. It logically copies the successful design of the Russian MON-50, which in turn was copied from the legendary American M-18A1 Claymore. 1/

The Chinese are trying a different approach by using a big net with their version of the Russian warhead-lacking, kinetic-energy “Yolka” interceptor drone.

A Ukrainian device intended to ensare and break the fiber optic cable of a passing Russian fiber FPV. Apparently a stretched-out concertina wire spins automatically 1 minute, one minute off. Ideas for combating the scourge of huge numbers of fiber drones are urgently needed.

The Russians claim to have successfully tested a massive 65 km fiber optic FPV coil. What longer distances will be seen in 2026?

An armed Ukrainian UGV loses a contest against two Russian FPVs. The loss rate of UGVs in any frontline role will inevitably be high, and of course such losses are much preferred to losing Ukrainian lives.

A Ukrainian airstrike pancaked a 9-story building containing up to 15 FPV operators of the elite Rubicon unit. Intelligence units had previously noted constant activity, drone launches, EM emissions, and the presence of multiple antennas.

Russian nationalist and Z-blogger Vitaly Voronov is disgusted that Ukrainian drones have reached Omsk, well to the east of the Urals in Siberia. “Well, after Ukrainian drones started reaching Siberia and striking the Omsk oil refinery, I believe in Vladimir Putin even more. 1/

A Ukrainian “waiter” FPV has patiently kept watch for its prey. The Russian invader flees from the flying killer robot through a shattered post-apocalyptic town — but there is never any escape.

The Russians are extracting white phosphorus from a 120mm D-5 mortar shell for use with incendiary drone munitions. After cutting the casing with a grinder, it is split open in a water bath because the phosphorus spontaneously ignites on contact with the oxygen in air. 1/

A Ukrainian heavy bomber drone drops a charge consisting of two TM-62 anti-tank landmines into a chimney stack. The 18–20 kg of TNT is an effective demolition device.

A Russian tethers the arming ripcords of PMN-4 anti-personnel landmines to the FPV that will dispense them. A 1–40 minute (temperature dependent) hydromechanical arming delay in which a spring-loaded plunger moves through a viscous fluid will be initiated when the cord is pulled.

Russian attacks on shipping using jet-powered Geran-4 “Seeker” variants equipped with terminal targeting autonomy have been extended to the Nika-Tera port in Mykolaiv. However, these cargo ships have been stranded there since 2022, when the Russians occupied the Kinburn Spit.

Ukrainian “Hornet” strike UAVs continue to hammer Russian logistical and military vehicles in the rear areas of occupied Zaporizhzhia. This autonomous terminal targeting capability is visible on the on screen display.

Ukrainian soldiers use a variety of shredders and grinders to prepare TNT, sometimes with some plastic explosive, for drone munitions. With a shortage of high explosive, the TNT is retrieved by breaking up TM-62 landmines.

Blogger “Mad Dogs” describes modifications of Russian frontline trenches against Ukrainian FPVs and bomber drones. “How to survive in the drone era: tricks of modern fortification Frontline architecture is no longer about ‘trench-machine gun-grenade.’ 1/

This 15 inch FPV by the Ukrainian company Ptashka is a beast. Here it lifts 25 kg of payload including a 4 kg battery.

A Ukrainian Ratel-H nicknamed “Grandpa” (Дід) has lasted a year in service with 47 missions completed . It has survived three FPV hits, endured many anti-personnel landmines that required a dozen replacement wheels, and delivered 19 tons of cargo to frontline positions.

The latest Russian “hedgehog” tanks are shown here covered with unraveled heavy metal cable attached to a steel mesh. This thick and heavy system is not impregnable of course but it does significantly increase the number of Ukrainian FPVs required to destroy the tank.
