Ukrainian Navy unmanned attack boats have gained a significant upgrade, and are now able to serve as drone motherships.

Last night, Ukrainian USVs carrying FPV drones attacked Russian-controlled gas platforms in the Black Sea, heavily damaging several.

impressive innovation in a conflict that cries out for de-escalation, but i suppose the next best thing to peace is making the opponent feel the heat. it's a stark reminder that while technology evolves, the human cost remains painfully real.

Drone tech advancement feels so much like tanks and planes in WWI. I wonder if there are any advancements in medical tech too that wouldn't have happened otherwise. (As was the case in that war)

Serious tx.

You added the missing piece to the Putin the Great puzzle: oil.

So, his only fight for Russian sovereignty against the evil nato forces and nazi Ukraine is in drilling and pumping.

No Russian spring exists. Money does. Lust hor gold. And fear of death, too. This is the only reality.

Attacking ships will be a lot easier if drones can shoot down choppers and attack defensive positions

KYIV — Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, Ukraine has lost 43,000 soldiers killed in action and 370,000 more were wounded, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday, in Kyiv's first disclosure of total casualty figures in the the nearly three-year conflict.

Zelenskyy announced the figures in a Telegram post on Sunday after United States President-elect Donald Trump said early Sunday that Ukraine had "ridiculously lost 400,000 soldiers" in the war started by Russian President Vladimir Putin almost three years ago.

In February, Zelenskyy said Kyiv had seen 31,000 troops killed in action in the conflict, but refused to give the number of wounded, saying he didn't want to give the Kremlin too much information. Since then, he has routinely described estimates published by various media outlets as overblown.
“Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Ukraine has lost 43,000 soldiers who died on the battlefield," plus 370,000 who have been wounded, Zelenskyy said in his post. "And this is taking into account that in our army approximately 50 percent of the wounded return to service, and all injuries are recorded, including minor and repeated ones,” he said.

“And let’s not forget we managed to return 3,767 warriors from Russian captivity,” Zelenskyy added.

The Ukrainian figures compare with 600,000 dead and wounded reported for the Russian side. Zelenskyy insists that Moscow's losses are larger than that.

“Updated data on Russian losses exceed 750,000 of their people. This is 198,000 Russians killed and more than 550,000 wounded,” the Ukrainian president said. Since September Russia has been losingfive or six troops for every Ukrainian soldier lost in battle, he added.

Zelenskyy reiterated his push for a "just peace" that includes guarantees for Ukraine against a renewal of Russian aggression in the future.

"A cease-fire without guarantees [means conflict] can be reignited at any moment, as Putin has already done so," Zelenskyy said. "To guarantee that there will be no more Ukrainian casualties, we must guarantee the reliability of peace and not turn a blind eye to the occupation," he added.
