"#Trump: Russian drone incursion into #Poland ‘could have been a mistake’"
Popular conception: Trump is being played by #Russia
Reality: "SIM cards from Poland and #Lithuania found in downed #drones"
Meaning: #Putin specifically prepared to fly drones into Poland
Verdict: Trump is a fucking moron. The #USA is being run by morons

Good morning to readers, Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
#Drones have leveled the playing field between a Goliath #Russia and a David-like #Ukraine.
But drone development is evolving so quickly that Ukrainian engineers must innovate — or people die.
There’s no place in the world where #drone innovation is happening faster than in Ukraine.
With fewer funds and fewer soldiers, Ukraine has needed to out-think and out-innovate the Russian military.
#Ukraine pierces #Russia border triggering
major battles
Ukraine strikes border area w/ #drones & #rockets.
Russia said on Wednesday that it was fighting intense battles against Ukrainian forces which had penetrated Russia's #Kursk region in one of the largest incursions into Russia since the Ukraine #war began in Feb 2022.

Good morning to our readers; #Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
Ukrainian #forces have achieved another world first: a successful #offensive using only #drones, without the use of human #troops.
The Counteroffensive is the first to publish a detailed play-by-play of this milestone.
Comment I saw yesterday about #Ukraine's #drones-popping-out-of-trucks brilliant attack on the bombers that have been mass murdering Ukrainian civilians for years (paraphrasing):
"#Russia is going to check every truck, and it will shut down their commerce. They don't even have the personnel for it, they will have to pull from other services, it will be destabilizing"
Video I just saw today:
Good call commenter
A rather poignant commentary on #war and the #environment
Because of radio frequency jamming, fiber optic #drones are being used by #Russia and #Ukraine on the frontlines
They just spool the fiber out as they fly
Apparently some areas look like giant spider webs everywhere from the endless #drone flights
And #birds are now using the waste of war to make their nests
