Everyone doubted Ukraine’s Flamingo missile. It just blew a hole in a major Russian missile factory
The Flamingo cruise missile was supposed to intensify Ukraine's deep strikes on Russian industry. Months late, it may finally be happening.
Russia wants 428 tanks a year by 2028. Its “second factory” is taking them apart instead.
There are reasons to believe Russia doesn't have two factories producing new tanks. It has just one.
A Ukrainian gun ‘bot saw a Russian soldier in the dark. He couldn’t see it back.
In a nighttime clash with a lonely Russian trooper, a gun-armed Ukrainian ground robot had the upper hand
US, Dutch veterans reportedly join international F-16 squadron defending Kyiv, Ukrainian air force denies this
Foreign pilots are pros at using high-tech sensors used to detect and target Russian missiles
Ukraine used to beg for matching missiles. Shershen fires whatever’s in the warehouse.
Shershen matches a lot of different radars, launchers and missiles. It's just what Ukraine needs.
Russia’s snowmobile troops did everything by the book—the book was written before drones
Snowmobiles aren't necessarily bad assault vehicles. But to avoid detection by thermal drones, they need heat-trapping camouflage.
FPV drones get all the attention. Ukraine’s reusable heavy bombers are doing the real killing
Heavy bomber drones, each dropping several grenades on Russian infantry, are one of Ukraine's enduring technological advantages.
Ukraine’s Flamingo missiles strike Russia twice in one week; rocket arsenal hit
The Flamingo is mired in controversy — can successful strikes redeem its reputation?
Ukraine is rewriting the world’s only playbook for stopping 800 drones a night
Focus likely to be on mobile fire groups, interceptors, and training

Ukrainian brigades detail Starlink crackdown: Russian terminals “became just bricks,” assaults disrupted
Russians forced to look for imperfect backup plans, which should slow down operations
How Starlink made Russia’s drones deadlier—and harder to jam
Improved reliability and resistance to jamming make Starlink-equipped drones deadlier and a priority for Kyiv to shut down
Can Starlink block Russian drones? Yes — but the devil’s in the details
4G modems and stolen SIMs are the gap nobody's closing
Ukraine keeps droning Russia’s “penguins”—same unit, same mistake, six days straight
Heat-trapping thermal ponchos can help soldiers hide from heat-sensing thermal drones. But only in the right conditions.
Russia just blew up a fake F-16. The drone flew 200km to do it.
A Rubicon drone flew 200km for this. Ukraine's decoy fleet is just getting started.
France may give Ukraine all 26 Mirage 2000s—none have bombed Russians yet
Ukraine is getting more Mirage 2000s. Will it use the fighters offensively instead of defensively?
Ukraine wrecked Russian bombers with $2,000 drones. US F-35s have the same blind spot
Drone defense absent at key US bases, including where 75% of world's F-35 pilots train
A Russian soldier dressed as a penguin was doing a pretty good job avoiding thermal drones
Desperate to hide from heat-sensing drones, Russian troops are wearing some pretty silly thermal camouflage. But silly isn't the same as ineffective.
