Need some more money do we Vlad? I guess your plan to punish the west with fuel restrictions didn't work out. Mind you, there are plenty of willing accomplices around the world...

Exclusive: Russian fuel export ban to be lifted next week

Russian fuel producers have been told by the government to prepare for the scrapping of all remaining restrictions on the export of diesel and gasoline, three industry sources told Reuters on Thursday.

This was the one part that caught my eye as it wasn't long ago when Russia seemed to be getting the upper hand in the drone war with a number of weapons/equipment that would block the Ukraine drones. It looks as if Ukraine have taken a lead over Russia in this vital and relatively new aspect of modern combat


The Ukrainians "are constantly firing at us with artillery, using cluster munitions and, most importantly, they are using a whole horde of [first-person-view] drones and UAVs with [grenades] that work around the clock."

How the Ukrainians have sustained and expanded their Dnipro bridgehead is evident in photos, videos and social-media posts from the front line. We can see small boats and amphibious landing vehicles; the Ukrainians presumably also have deployed pontoon bridges.

Both Ukrainian and Russian sources have discussed Ukraine's advantage in aerial drones over this particular sector. First, Ukrainian forces jammed Russian drones. Then they deployed drones of their own—for reconnaissance, artillery-spotting, bombing and resupply.

The supply drones are a rarely-seen capability. "The guys have gone very deep to the left bank of Kherson and it is difficult to deliver gasoline to them by water and land—it is risky for life!" one Ukrainian drone-operator wrote. "The bombardier drone we bought can lift 15 kilograms on board and carry batteries for radios, power banks, food [and] water to the guys."

While some drones deliver vital supplies the Ukrainian garrison, others drop grenades on Russian vehicles counterattacking the Krynky bridgehead—most recently, a T-72 tank. The Russians largely have been powerless to stop Ukrainian drone flights, suppress Ukrainian artillery or out-plan Ukrainian commanders.
