Russians keep raising “Potemkin flags” in Lyman. They’re no closer to capturing it.
Scattered reports of Russian flags flying over Lyman don't indicate new Russian positions in the front-line city. Lyman holds.
Russia is bolting World War II-style bridges onto armored tractors. They’re slow—and Ukraine’s drones are fast
Every bridge over the Vovcha is gone, so Russian crews drive improvised spans into the river and bail out—leaving the vehicles behind as makeshift bridges. The drones find them anyway.
After eight months, Kostiantynivka is falling. Why some Ukrainian commanders would rather fight the open fields behind it
Russia's first strategic win of the year is a ruined city—and Ukraine's drone-centric defense may not miss it the way it once would have.
For three years, Russia glide-bombed Ukraine in escorted pairs. Now Ukraine is glide-bombing Russia the same way.
High-flying escorts are protecting Ukraine's glide bombers from Russian jets. It's a familiar tactic.
Ukraine’s $50,000 drone just did what only $500,000 munitions could
Ukrainian drone-maker Fire Point has tweaked its iconic FP-1 drone to travel three times as far as before.
Russia sent quad bikes to clear a minefield. Ukraine’s drones did the rest.
Mines blast Russian assault groups from below. To clear a path, one Russian field army modified an all-terrain vehicle.
Ukraine’s newest drones don’t need Starlink. Russia spends $1.5 million to jam it anyway.
Onboard AI lets the newest drones find their own targets—nothing for a jammer to break.
Russia hides its cruise missiles inside drone swarms. A handful of bombers do the rest.
A Tu-22M3 crash in Irkutsk exposes a darker paradox: Russia's bomber fleet keeps shrinking, but Russia's bombing keeps getting smarter.
Ukraine’s newest Abrams brigade just built the “dumbest” tank cage of the war. In 2026, that barely matters.
The 160th Mechanized Brigade is an odd choice to operate some of Ukraine's approximately 50 surviving M-1 tanks.
Russia may soon have more tanks than pre-war. It just can’t use them.
To do it, Russia revived "previously unrecoverable" Soviet engines. The drones that destroyed the originals haven't gone anywhere.
Russia tried to surround Lyman. Now its own salient is getting squeezed.
Lyman blocks the northern route to Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. Ukrainian counterattacks are protecting the city.
Ukraine’s drones now have Russian convoys riding out with four gun trucks and a prayer
Until last month the trucks rolled out unarmed—now 71% of them have vanished from the M-14 entirely.
Ukraine is droning Russian ships. The goal: to create supply bottlenecks on land.
Ukraine's drones aren't just attacking Russia's supply trucks. They're now hitting Russia's supply ships, too.
Ukraine’s drones got bigger warheads. A Russian corvette in the Baltic just found out.
The Fire Point FP-1 that struck Boikiy at Kronstadt on 3 June crossed 1,100 km to get there — and arrived with a heavier warhead than the model that started Ukraine's deep-strike campaign.
