The vast majority of Russians are complicit in the wars, war crimes, and genocide instigated by Putin’s regime. Even those who consider themselves part of the opposition—a mere drop in the ocean—sooner or later begin to espouse Russofascist narratives. The only true and decent Russians are fighting in the ranks of the ZSU.
Sometime in the distant future (perhaps in three years), a Museum of Major Drones will open in Ukraine. One of the halls will display all of Ukraine’s major military drones in the order in which they appeared and contributed to Ukraine’s victory:
“Bayraktar TB2” – 2022.
Russia attacked Ukraine, and bloody battles began. Lithuanians raised money for an unmanned drone for Ukraine in just two days, but the Turkish company Baykar announced it would not accept the money and donated a “Bayraktar TB2” to Ukraine. It was a true miracle! The “Bayraktar” instantly became a legend. Ukrainians even named their children after Bayraktar. A new perspective on war began to take shape in Ukraine.
FPV drones appeared in 2022, but they became the true “new war machine” in 2023.
“Baba Yaga” – 2022–2023.
A nightly nightmare for Russian trenches: drops of explosives, mines, and ammunition directly onto enemy positions.
“Liutyj”
Development began in 2022, and it became widely known as a symbol of long-range strikes on Russian territory in 2024.
FP-1
The “Fire Point” industrial long-range drone, one of the symbols of Ukraine’s serial long-range weaponry. It was developed in 2024 and has been used in combat operations from 2025 to the present.
Interceptor drones – 2025.
Ukraine was the first in the world to develop and begin mass production of low-cost drones designed to intercept other drones. One example is the orange P1-Sun from SkyFall.
“Hornet”
In service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces since March 2026. Developed in the U.S., but considered Ukrainian. It is an extremely effective hunter targeting enemy logistics: it destroys trucks, fuel tankers, and cargo transport.
“Morrigan”
You’ve probably never even heard of it. It’s the latest Ukrainian medium- and long-range drone. Its mission is to disrupt and attack the R-280 “Novorossiya” route, a key Russian logistics corridor in the south. Once the “Morrigan” systems are fully deployed, the logistics of Russia’s southern military units could face serious difficulties.
I will definitely fly to Ukraine. I’ll go to the museum with a bouquet of flowers and place a flower by each of our victorious drones. Then I’ll move to the next hall and place flowers by our naval drones. Each one of them is a legend. Then I’ll definitely stop by the hall with ground robots and drones… And after that, I’ll stay to live in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces already have strike capabilities capable of disrupting or halting traffic on the M-4 "Don" federal highway. It appears they may soon take action in this regard. In that case, the consequences for Putin’s regime and Russian military logistics could be severe.
President Zelenskyy’s sharply pointed remarks in his letter to Putin:
“We often hear that war suits you. Of course, not when it comes to the safety of your residence in the Valdai region or a parade in Moscow. Your own life is precious to you.”
After alluding to Putin’s fears for his own safety and growing Russian disloyalty, he drives home the point that Putin will not have “enough money and political power to continue buying Russian loyalty, as you have done for 26 years. We will do everything to ensure the world takes care of that.”
The letter goes on to rub salt into all of Putin’s wounds: “We have brought war to your territory,” “You are the first Russian leader to have to turn to Pyongyang for help,” “You are completely dependent on China—also for the first time in Russian history,” “Your own military units have rebelled against you,” "After 26 years, old age has begun to take its toll. The further you go, the more exhausted you will become."
He concludes the letter with a warning that, otherwise, Putin himself will have a much harder time fighting for his own survival. And he recalls 20th-century Russian history: “When Russia gets tired, changes happen.”
The Kremlin will, of course, reject these proposals. But the Ukrainian president has made it very clear what awaits the aggressor this year—drone and missile strikes deep into the country that will cut off communications and fuel supplies, increase economic losses, and fuel discontent within Russian society itself.
No, in fact if you model the Russians own air alerts issued to civilians, this is approximately the trajectory taken by UA drones to hit St. Petersburg and/or Ust-Luga.
Two days in the forest, constant pressure from the enemy, drones buzzing overhead, and decisions that must be made even when fatigue is already setting in. Training, training, and more training. Members of the Lithuanian Riflemen’s Union don’t rest, because when you have such “wonderful” neighbors as Russia and Belarus, readiness must be ensured 24/7.
The enemy of your mind is the untreated STD, eating your tiny brains out. As always, whenever Putin’s mouthpiece opens her mouth, there’s zero logic. Both wars were started by Putin and the Russians. Genocide and war crimes are being committed by Russians under Putin’s leadership. If the Ukrainian military and society considered the Zelenskys to be the real enemy, they would have arrested and convicted them long ago. Why is it different, huh? It’s hard to make sense of reality, representative of a nation that practically lost both world wars?
As the son of a prostitute, trained by your mother in this ancient trade, you clearly have an immunity to reality. No big deal—the time will come when an FPV drone will bring you and others like you back to reality as you try to pick up the body parts scattered all over the place.
AfD sluts simp for pedpputin but of course. Only Russian lackeys like you—raised by prostitutes and alcoholics—and your ilk imagine that Ukraine should refrain from striking back at Russians who have successfully adopted and adapted Nazism, simply because a handful of businessmen from third-world countries and a few Yanks and Krauts lured by blood-stained rubles have arrived? You’re a total moron. The Russians are committing war crimes and genocide in Ukraine 24/7; they deserve no mercy, and the war-supporting facilities in their cities will be smashed until the minds of the mentally retarded masses of slaves start to snap. It’s not for you, Putin’s lackey, to explain and moralize.
A Fatal Diagnosis
Sergei Medvedev, a journalist and historian at Radio Liberty: “Over the past month, Ukrainian drones have completely nullified Putin’s three most symbolic achievements—the Victory Day parade, which turned into a parade of cowards and the defeated; the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, which was Putin’s brainchild, and the land corridor to the annexed Crimea.”
An event has taken place that, in the view of some, represents a small step toward victory for Ukraine in this accursed war
The “Spalach” unmanned aerial vehicle battalion of the 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade announced that it had fully taken control of the firepower in Horlivka, a city in the occupied Donetsk region. Every vehicle entering Horlivka is monitored, tracked, and, if necessary, neutralized—this is what is meant by “complete fire control.”
What does this mean? Formal authority in Horlivka still belongs to the Russian occupation forces. However, according to proponents of this view, actual control has partially shifted into the hands of Ukrainian drone operators—they can monitor movement and influence what happens in the city, while the occupiers cannot completely eliminate this advantage held by Ukrainian drones. We saw how Ukrainian drones operated in the St. Petersburg region yesterday. Not to mention Horlivka…
There are currently about 35 cities similar to Horlivka in the occupied territories.
Do you think the Ukrainian Armed Forces have enough unmanned aerial vehicle battalions, similar to “Spalah,” to take control of the airspace in every occupied city, in addition to their primary combat missions?
In that case, one could argue that control over the occupied territories is gradually returning to Ukraine.
Note: The last statement (“authority in the occupied territory is passing to Ukraine”) is a political assessment, not an established fact. Even with fire control or the ability to strike targets, this does not necessarily imply a transfer of administrative or political authority.
