"Almost none of this technology was here in Ukraine a year ago" How drones are transforming the battlefield in Ukraine and no doubt all future wars, currently around half of the battles are drones. "Ukraine's army is fighting back with its own drones, and there are dozens across this stretch of front line. One Ukrainian soldier tells me every day they kill 100 Russians. The last images from drone cameras are usually of men panicking, their arms flailing, weapons firing before they are killed. The brigade’s 37-year-old drone commander, who goes by the call sign Aeneas, says that without shelter in a building there is little chance of survival - for Russians, and his men too. "It's the new way or a new path in modern war. In 2022 it was only infantry war and today one half is only a war of drone, a battle between Russian drones and ours," he says." https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cne4vl9gy2wo

How can you think they were my words when they are the text in the tweet that you also posted............. Only a Hamas apologist would want to debate how many people are in the video cheering, I've already replied to that. "A vile remark" Not playing those sick games -

Now re read my post and stop being dishonest, nothing was removed Who said this? A newly released video from shortly after Oct 7, shows Palestinians in Gaza cheering and celebrating as 24-year-old hostage Matan Zangauker, who was kidnapped from Israel to Gaza, is taken through Khan Younis. Remind me again about those Palestinian ‘civilians’ …" Stop the trolling, it was a quote from the lawyer. The fact you are ignoring the cheering crowds of Gazan civilians in the video I posted and the civilians that did there own kidnapping of hostages in the link supplied and instead focus on a released video from a hostage mother and comment from a lawyer is sick. -
Satellite Photos Show 'Near Total Destruction' of Ammo Depot Inside Russia New satellite imagery shows the aftermath of Ukrainian drone strikes on a Russian ammunition storage site in Russia's Voronezh region earlier this month, according to the British government. London's Defense Ministry said on Wednesday that satellite images from July 8 showed a "destroyed" storage area and buildings at an extensive weapons and ammunition depot near the Voronezh village of Sergeevka. Newsweek has reached out to the Russian Defense Ministry for comment via email. https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-drone-strike-russia-voronezh-fire-ammunition-depot-1929534

Russia still struggling to replace its killed soldiers. Russia is offering Moscow residents a record $22,000 to fight in Ukraine The financial sweetener comes as President Vladimir Putin struggles to recruit soldiers for his army as Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine grinds on in its third year. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin introduced the one-time signing bonus of 1.9 million rubles (about $22,000) for city residents who join the military, according to a statement on Tuesday. Anyone taking up the offer would earn as much as 5.2 million rubles ($59,600) in their first year of service, the statement added. While Russia’s casualty numbers remain shrouded in secrecy, estimates say the death toll among troops is high. More than 70,000 soldiers were likely killed or wounded in May and June alone, the UK defense ministry said in an update on July 12, as the Russian army faced high losses on a new front in the Kharkiv region. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/24/europe/russia-moscow-troops-signing-bonus-intl-hnk/index.html

Stands to reason. No need to shout about it. Our peace efforts have to engage Russia, but not on Putin's terms, EU's top diplomat says Future peace efforts have to involve Russia, but they cannot be based on terms laid out by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the EU's chief diplomat, Josep Borrell, said on July 22 in Brussels. Responding to a question about Kyiv's plans for a second peace summit, Borrell said he is certain that President Volodymyr Zelensky's "will to continue advancing on peace talks and to have another conference with Russia's attendance is real." Although Russia was not invited to the inaugural peace summit in Switzerland in mid-June, Ukrainian officials said they want to invite Moscow's representative for the follow-up conference. https://kyivindependent.com/borrell-peace-summit/

And? What you hear and what the lawyer who I was quoting hears are obviously two different things. Now back to this that you've ignored. How many Gazans are in the cheering crowds here? -

That guy was reporting on the Gazans cheering Hamas capturing hostages. The same Gazans that also kidnapped hostages and sold them for blood money to Hamas. The previous video was released by the Hostages mother and you are questioning how many were cheering............what a vile remark. "Former hostage Nili Margalit has said that it was Palestinian Arab civilians, not Hamas, who abducted her from her home in Nir Oz on October 7. “They negotiated with Hamas to sell me. When they were paid, I was taken straight into a tunnel,” the 42-year-old told France’s Le Point magazine." -

There was another deal the same as that in 2018 until Hamas broke it: "Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah visited Gaza in March 2018, he was the target of an assassination attempt when a bomb detonated near his convoy. Hamdallah’s Fatah party immediately blamed Hamas for the attack." There's a topic on your post anyway. -
Off topic Whataboutery. I also choose my words carefully. The terror label was there for a reason: Following the atrocities carried out by Vladimir Putin's regime against Ukrainian civilians, MEPs have recognised Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. On Wednesday, Parliament adopted a resolution on the latest developments in Russia's brutal war of aggression against Ukraine. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20221118IPR55707/european-parliament-declares-russia-to-be-a-state-sponsor-of-terrorism

Russia's double tap terror tactics at work again Russia launches 'double-tap' attack on rescue workers in Sumy Oblast Russian forces launched a "double-tap" attack on first responders as they were curbing the aftermath of the previous attack in Sumy Oblast on July 21, the State Emergency Service said. Overnight, Russian forces launched a large-scale attack with 39 drones and five missiles across Ukraine. At least one missile successfully hit critical infrastructure in Sumy Oblast, and two drones were downed over the region, according to local authorities. Russian troops also shelled Sumy Oblast 20 times overnight with mortars, and deployed mines and FPV (first-person view) drones, causing 44 explosions, the Sumy Oblast Military Administration reported. No casualties had been reported at the time of publication. https://kyivindependent.com/russia-launches-double-tap-attack-on-rescue-workers-in-sumy-oblast/

A newly released video from shortly after Oct 7, shows Palestinians in Gaza cheering and celebrating as 24-year-old hostage Matan Zangauker, who was kidnapped from Israel to Gaza, is taken through Khan Younis. Remind me again about those Palestinian ‘civilians’ … Hostage Matan Zangauker’s mom publishes clip showing him in Gaza after Oct. 7 attack The mother of a hostage held by Hamas published on Tuesday a short video filmed in the Gaza Strip after the October 7 attack, in which her son Matan Zangauker is seen squeezed between two terrorists on a motorcycle. In the clip, which Hebrew media outlets reported was discovered by Israeli forces in Gaza and recently shown to the family, Zangauker is briefly seen being taken down a street as onlookers gleefully ululate. According to assessments, the video is from Zangauker’s first few days in the Strip and was filmed on the outskirts of the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis. https://www.timesofisrael.com/hostage-matan-zangaukers-mom-publishes-clip-showing-him-in-gaza-after-oct-7-attack/ -
That's without the adult civilians left perishing in Russia too. 7,000 Ukrainian civilians currently held in Russian-controlled prisons. These people are held in dire conditions, often abused and tortured, without any means of communication. They are also trapped in a legal limbo, as international law prohibits the capture and exchange of civilians for prisoners of war. https://kyivindependent.com/stuck-in-legal-limbo-ukrainian-civilians-endure-torture-in-russian-prisons/

Map of the humanitarian zone, look at the red markers where Hamas terrorists have themselves embedded and firing rockets from. Typical example of the use of human shields by them. Al Jazeera will be along next saying Palestinians killed in humanitarian zone not mentioning they were terrorists that were targeted amongst the civilians https://x.com/SpencerGuard/status/1815376965056233965 -
There's nothing old about still being held hostage by the terrorists. Its still happening now. the rest of your post is nonsense and nothing to do with it. But its ok, I understand your view point very well: “If you’re tearing down the posters of hostages, you’re not “pro-Palestinian.” You’re pro-Hamas. You’re not just Anti-Israel. You’re Antisemitic.”

Still not sorted out the ball bearing problem in Russia A quarter of Moscow's Il-76 planes failed due to low-quality parts, Russian media reports Russia has lost five of its 18 Il-76 MD-90A aircraft due to poor-quality wheel bearings, the state-run media outlet Kommersant and the independent publication Important Stories reported on July 19. Il-76 planes are military aircraft designed for the transportation of troops and cargo. Russia's Investigative Committee has opened a criminal investigation against the Balashikhinsky Foundry and Mechanical Plant (BLMZ), the company that supplied the failed parts. https://kyivindependent.com/a-quarter-of-moscows-il-76-planes-failed-due-to-low-quality-parts-russian-media-reports/
