A $50 computer just flew Russia’s newest jet drone into a Ukrainian grain ship—and jamming couldn’t stop it
Russia's fast, highly autonomous Geran-4 one-way attack drone is the weapon of choice for strikes on Ukrainian grain ships.
Ukraine’s $500 Vyriy FPV drone just flew 110 km to hit Russian logistics. That used to cost $5,000.
With a denser battery, a lighter warhead and a wing, a cheap first-person-view drone can now range 110 km.
A $50k Ukrainian drone just hit a refinery 2,500 km inside Russia. The expensive missiles couldn’t
With bigger wings and more fuel, Ukrainian drones can range deeper inside Russia to hit once unreachable targets.
Russia is running out of its best eyes in the sky
Russia's giant radar early warning planes can spot incoming Ukrainian missiles. What happens when there aren't enough planes?
Ukraine’s ballistic missile may have reached Moscow. The damage wasn’t the point.
Ukrainian developers rush new weapons into combat to gather data, not to inflict damage—the way Fire Point spent a year missing before the Flamingo started landing. The first ballistic shot was doing that job.
For two years, Ukraine’s strikes barely scratched Russia’s war factories. Something just changed.
The warheads finally got heavy enough to leave damage that lasts—and Ukraine's drones cleared the air defenses that used to stop the missiles short.
Ukraine lost three fighters in one day—one outranged in the air, two caught on the ground. The Gripen fixes both
A Russian missile downed one MiG from beyond the range it could shoot back; drones caught the other two parked. The Swedish jet that arrives next year is built against exactly these losses.
This Ukrainian UGV, beloved by Ukrainian intel, is now winning over NATO countries and global defense giants
Heavy warhorse of Ukrainian battlefields
In the world’s most jammed battlefield, a Kyiv company keeps the signal alive
Light, enduring mesh network enables complex operations in difficult environments
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.
As Russian air defense dwindles, Ukrainian glide bombs join the fray. But juicy targets are receding.
Ukraine's air interdiction campaign has a new toy for busting reinforced targets without relying on the West
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.
Ukrainian drones adopt focused antennas to slip by Russian detection
Reinforces connection and makes drones harder to clock
Russians deploy massive $1.5M Starlink jammers, Ukrainians are blowing them up
Bulky, powerful, flammable
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.
