#video #toread showing #Ukraine #weaponry #drones flying over the city of Donetsk, very far from the front (50km? Much further than the usual 20km kill zone), where they’re starting to attack Russian military logistics on the roads. Not sure if these are so-called #Martians; those are supposed to be autonomous, and this looks like FPV.
on 02026-04-16pro-#Ukraine propaganda #video says that al Jazeera says that in March there were 35351 Russian casualties, 96% from #drones #weaponry, a record body count perhaps due to the new so-called #Martians powered by #AI. In 02026 Ukraine projects building 7 million drones.
on 02026-04-13#news from last week: Russia calls the new #weaponry #drones from #Ukraine "Martians" or "Bumblebees": “The enemy has begun using new drones called ‘Martians,’ which, unfortunately, have a cruising speed of up to 300 kilometers/hour [186 miles / hour], no longer fly under operator guidance but are controlled by [#AI],” [Horlivko Russian mayor] Prikhodko said. “They are undetectable by electronic warfare systems, and drone detectors don’t spot them.” And Apti Alauidnov: “It appears they are jointly produced, Ukraine-Germany, Ukraine-France. They are modernized. They fly farther than the old ones.” Plausibly, though, these are not full-fledged #slaughterbots but just using LPD radio links to a teleoperator.
