The U.S. and NATO Helped Trigger the Ukraine War.

While many in Russia and Ukraine are developing interceptor drones and equipping them with nets or various weapons, Russian military personnel have demonstrated a fairly simple solution to combat drones in Ukraine. An ordinary stick was installed on an FPV drone, the FPV drone flies up to the enemy drone and rams it, or damages the propeller-motor part of the drone. This method is used mainly against large drones. The video was filmed in Ukraine, the location of the filming and the type of drone used are not reported.

Archival footage of a Russian aerial bomb, presumably FAB-500T, with a UMPK module, hitting the production facilities of the Ukrainian Motor Sich plant in Zaporozhye. The video was filmed on January 8. The FAB-500T bomb is heat-resistant, the warhead weighs 256 kg. Initially, the FAB-500T was designed to be dropped at high speeds, up to 2,500 km/h, by MiG-25RB aircraft. In this case, the bomb was dropped by a Russian Su-34NVO aircraft, from an altitude of about 10,000 meters and a flight speed of about 900 km/h. This allowed the FAB-500T bomb to fly more than 70 km to its target.

 
Footage of the strike of a Russian FAB-3000 bomb, with a UMPK module, on a temporary deployment point of Ukrainian units, on the outskirts of the village of Martynovka in the Kursk region of Russia.

The video was filmed 5 km northwest of the village of Slavyansk, according to some sources, this is in the area of the village of Glubokaya Makatikha.

With drones being used extensively in combat in Ukraine, it appears that the Russian army has an excess of drones in some areas of the front. Footage has been released of three Russian drones striking a Ukrainian M113A2 armored personnel carrier. The M113 armored personnel carriers were developed in the United States in 1957. Near the town of Dvurechnaya in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, a Ukrainian M113A2 armored personnel carrier was attacked by a Lancet drone, a Vandal FPV drone, and a third drone dropped ammunition on the armored personnel carrier. Judging by the video, the combat vehicle had been abandoned earlier by the crew.

 
Episodes of combat work in Ukraine, the Russian tank T-72 with protection type "Tsar-mangal" have been published. In addition to protection, the tank is also equipped with electronic warfare systems.

According to the crew of the T-72 tank, their version of the "Tsar-mangal" protection can withstand up to 20 attacks by Ukrainian FPV drones. Judging by the video, the tank's protection really copes with many attacks by Ukrainian drones.

An episode of a battle by Russian Special Operations Forces (SSO), presumably in one of the rear areas of Ukraine, has been published. The video shows the storming of a stronghold of the Ukrainian army. The Russian Special Operations Forces detachment used several subgroups. One "attack" subgroup made a passage in the barriers, snipers worked to protect the perimeter. The second "capture" subgroup carries out a direct assault on the stronghold. The third "support" subgroup cuts off possible routes of assistance from enemy reserves and ensures the withdrawal of the assault group to the assembly point after completing the task. As a result of the SSO operation, the stronghold was captured, an unknown Ukrainian unit was captured, the video has been shortened.

The video was filmed near the village of Petrovskoye on the Svatovo-Kremennaya front.

 
Russian servicemen have equipped a Soviet-made BMP-1 with a homemade "Tsar-mangal" protection. In this case, instead of bars, hedgehogs made of wire are welded to the sides of the BMP-1, and the front of the combat vehicle is protected by hanging steel cables. According to some, steel hedgehogs more effectively protect the combat vehicle from drones.
