I believe, Ukraine has a new type of long range drone.
Several videos have emerged of Ukrainian drones flying towards the Engels 2 airbase at around 02:00, and they all have the same silhouette: A delta wing body with a small forward wing and a propeller in the back.
This matches none of the previously identified Ukrainian drones I have seen, and it is not the American Lucas drone either.
It seems Putin has a new problem to add to his infinitely long list of problems.
@randahl Is this the new one that hit the refineries in Siberia? Range is 2600 km. Brilliant inventors in Ukraine, I'd say.
@randahl Russian farmers on YouTube are complaining about no fuel for their tractors, presumably no agro-chemicals, so soon no food. Or AI is. Who knows?
First sighting was July 4th. Ukraine hasn't publicly named it yet.
@randahl Every war is an infinitely long list of problems for all participants.
The thing most people don't get: this is completely normal.
What ruins countries is: you run into a negative feedback loop. The problems themselves generate more followup problems than you can solve.
At that point you have to deal with cascading failures in your system.
Russia seems to be approaching the point.
Problem: Usually you only recognize it afterwards that this is the point where the situation reached this level.
We do not have a perfect view on the Russian economy. How much slack is still in the system? How tight is the coupling? How elastic are the subsystems?
