Super happy to see the Raid fundraiser hitting the last mile - let's get it over the edge today! Just $700 left!!! Thank you for that, thank you for supporting Ukraine and its defenders - including our FPV team!

$9,000 of $10,000 raised for my regiment, RAID. Almost done. Starlinks, EcoFlows and generators for my guys before winter. Thank you to everyone who chipped in, it means a lot 🫡 Last $1,000 via @dzygaspaw 👇

Extremely interesting NEW development: for the first time in history, a wounded soldier was evacuated from the front line by a drone. russian drones and mines blocked any ground robot. So a heavy hexacopter flew in and carried him out. He survived. Footage: 92nd Brigade

Remember this video from January? A guy from Kenya with an anti-tank mine strapped to his chest, pushed out toward Ukrainian positions. His name is Francis, he's 35. He came to russia for a construction job. russian soldiers called him "can opener".

Last push for October. Around 700 subscribers left to 5,000 on my YouTube channel. If you've been reading me here for a while, this is the easiest way to support what I do. Costs nothing, takes one click 🫡

Independent russian outlet Verstka built a database of 100+ officers accused of killing their own soldiers. russians call it "zeroing out". The military prosecutor got 12,000+ abuse complaints. Field commanders are unofficially off-limits. Nobody is coming to save them.

Why they still walk into our drones, in my new video: youtu.be/D4cy1M7t2Bo

Zelensky: in Ukraine Starlink now cuts out above 161 km/h, and we lose the drone. Ukraine drove Starlink terminals at 180+ km/h in the EU and they kept working. In the Vivaldi counteroffensive, Starlink controlled our drones, bombers and ground robots.

Every russian soldier at the front has seen the drone videos. They still walk forward. I went through hours of footage russian soldiers filmed of their own commanders. It's not ideology or money. It's fear. Behind them, torture is certain. In front, our drones are only likely.

russia pays a new contract soldier about $5,000 from the federal budget. Regions add more, over $50,000 in some. For a guy earning $200 a month, that's decades of salary in one payment. And 50+ regions pay recruiters $1,000+ per head. Somebody gets paid for the body.

Russian FPV drone found by Ukrainian soldiers next to a frontline road. Painted yellow, covered in autumn leaves, even the fiber-optic spool. It lands, kills the motors and waits for a car. No radio signal, so EW can't see it. From 2 meters you can spot it. From 5 meters you can't.

Most people see this war in 10-second clips. On my YouTube I explain what's behind them: how 3 strikes took 78% of Yandex Cloud offline, why russian soldiers keep walking into our drones, how we launch drones from balloons. Almost at 5K. Come along 🫡

The only way to achieve peace in Ukraine is to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We have almost closed this fundraiser for my FPV guys in the regiment - so that they have generators, power stations and Starlinks before the winter. Thank you for all the support!

Unexpected side effect of Ukraine hitting Yandex data centers. A lot of the world's bot traffic ran on russian servers. Yandex's own bot and crawler traffic dropped almost to zero. My replies have way fewer russian bots this week. Have you noticed it too?

My YouTube channel is 825 subscribers away from 5,000. +529 in the last 28 days. There I go deeper than 280 characters allows: how this war actually works, explained by a Ukrainian drone pilot from inside it. Help me hit 5K this month 🫡

This is what 3 strikes did to russia's biggest cloud. IODA pings networks and counts who answers. 78% of Yandex Cloud went silent. The routes are still up, but nobody is home. Russian Railways, MegaFon, online banking and users as far as Kazakhstan went down with it.

Ukrainian drones hit 3 of Yandex's 5 big data centers in 4 days. Sasovo, Kaluga, Vladimir. Yandex is basically russia's Google. Taxis, banking, supermarkets, government services all run on its cloud. russia called its strikes on us a "digital detox". Now it's their turn 🫠

Step by step, we have already raised $6,054 for FPV teams in my regiment! This is an outstanding result, and I am super grateful for the support. This is much needed before the winter - generators, power stations and Starlinks.
