You missed the point. The video and the reference was more about wingtip tipping of drones all V-1s

I know, but I still hope to see, in a not so distant future, propeller airplanes armed with abundant light machine-guns chasing down drones.
Instead of the 12 machine guns of the hurricane, that probably are no longer available, I guess a couple of XM556 will do.

Do we think Ukraine will ever regain Crimea?

I believe they will but not soon and not necessarily by physical re-invasion. Rather I believe they will eventually be able to force the Russians out by way of a siege combined with Russia's inability to re-supply adequately. Under such a scenario, I can see those in Crimea begging for the Ukrainians to come in ...or at least for the Russians to let them go. It might happen gradually too.
 
This is an interesting report, although I fear it may suffer from the insertion of optimistic propaganda:

Mass Desertion in russian Army: 25,000 Fled the Front in the Past Nine Months, Dozens Executed for Refusing "Meat Assaults" | Defense Express

The Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (DIU) has reported large-scale desertion within the russian army
en.defence-ua.com

However, the numbers cited equate to a company deserting from the Russian forces every single day. Even if the numbers are exaggerated by 100% or even 200%, that's still a LOT of Russians removing themselves from the front line every week.
 
There is a lot of posting of articles and videos in this thread, but I'm really wondering how useful they really are overall. It seems incredibly difficult to find reliable neutral sources about what's really going on in the Ukraine.
This seems to be a Ukrainian source. I don't believe they have anything to gain by being neutral.
 

There's no such thing as a neutral source. EVERY published article, whether it's from a news agency, media company, or just a blogger, will contain biases.

I merely posted the link to the article so others could see the source. The more interesting discussion point is whether Russia truly is losing front-line strength to a sizable quantity of soldiers going AWOL.

As I opined, even if the numbers are inflated by several hundred percent, it is interesting that they could be losing a company per day/week just to desertion.
 
Had you heard about the RUTA missile? I hadn't until a few days ago.

Somehow seems to be a Ukranian missile.

With a strong connection with Spanish defense companies.
