Russian forces are increasingly repairing and reusing captured Ukrainian Baba Yaga drones to support combat operations and fill a major battlefield need.
Drones dominate losses on the Russia-Ukraine battlefield, but they have not replaced artillery. Instead, they have forced both sides to adapt how artillery is employed.
The Yolka interceptor offers some protection to Russian soldiers. However, its kinetic-kill design and low production quantities limits its operational value.
Russian forces developed an improvised pontoon from modified military trucks to cross the Vovcha River. Ukrainian drones recorded and destroyed the crossing attempt.
