Russian Colonel dies in car bombing and the Azov mother/daughter team is ruled out.

So perhaps his car was pushed out a window?

An interesting and ambitious project, known informally as Freyja in Ukraine. Critics point out the lack of domestic expertise in seekers and radars and the limited resources of Firepoint, which is already stretched (mid-strike drones, cruise missiles, ballistic program). They also say: "How can you achieve in months what others, such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and Soviet manufacturers have developed for years?" We will see.

I can understand peoples caution, but Europe has experience in these fields and there is nothing like being in a shooting war to concentrate the mind. If five years ago you had outlined half of what Ukraine has achieved, no one would have believed you.

I remain cautious, but believe that they may well achieve something.

It's well and good to hitting Russian-held territory and Russia proper with missiles and drones, but will this eventually lead to Ukrainian liberation of the likes of Crimea and Mariupol? That takes boots on the ground, and I'm not sure the missile and drone campaign will lead to that. It's definitely degrading Russia's offensive capability, reducing the risk of further territory loss.

Soldiers have a hard time to fight without sufficient food, water, ammo or battlefield oversight.

Interesting concept if it works

Very true, which leads me to posit that the missiles and drones may not lead to boots on the ground in Crimea anytime in 2026-27.

Moscow brands Canada as 'warmonger' amid drone production deal with Ukraine | CBC News

Moscow is calling Canada a "warmonger" for signing a drone-production deal with Ukraine and is vowing to publish the address of a Canadian company working with Kyiv.

Yeah, those dang Canadians - invading other countries, targeting hospitals, schools and shopping centers, executing civilians, PoWs and all.

Oh wait...

Very true, which leads me to posit that the missiles and drones may not lead to boots on the ground in Crimea anytime in 2026-27.

But it is close to being a siege and in a siege those surrounded often surrender.
