Grey zone at front significantly expands due to massive FPV drone use
Modern warfare is becoming less and less like traditional infantry battles and is turning into a confrontation between drones and long-range strike systems. Source: Yurii, with the alias Lys (Fox), chief sergeant of the unmanned systems battalion of the 24th Separate Mechanised Brigade in the national joint 24/7 newscast, as reported by ArmyInform Quote: "If a year ago the grey zone was about 500 metres to 2 kilometres, now it has expanded to 5-6 kilometres, and in some areas even up to 7 kilometres." Details: The chief sergeant said that there are approximately 50 different UAVs in the air every minute, both reconnaissance and attack. This applies to both Ukrainian and Russian drones. Yurii noted that the Russians are also actively building up their own unmanned capabilities and partially copying the tactics of the Ukrainian military in shooting down UAVs and mining. "Now the war is no longer a battle of infantry or armoured vehicles, but a long-range remote fight. Distances have grown, kill zones have increased," the chief sergeant stressed. He also said that the Russians are increasingly using motorcycles, ATVs and light vehicles to break through the areas controlled by Ukrainian drones. "Indeed, the Russians are trying to disperse their forces as much as possible, resorting to infantry assaults or assaults with motorcycles, ATVs, and light vehicles. The terrain near Chasiv Yar is not very favourable for the use of heavy equipment," explained Yuriy "Lys". He added that this poses a significant challenge for Ukrainian unmanned systems units, as these mobile groups require constant monitoring and the deployment of a large number of attack drones. Nevertheless, Ukrainian reconnaissance, firepower, and roadblock tactics are proving effective. Despite the new Russian tactics, the situation remains under the control of the Ukrainian military. "We are creating many unpleasant surprises for the enemy with the help of drones. Meanwhile, we are striving to build up our strike forces to more effectively deter the enemy's offensive, especially now that the weather is favourable for the enemy's rapid movement," the chief sergeant summed up.

Ukrainian forces on North Korean troops' tactics in Kursk Oblast: They keep coming like cockroaches
Russian and North Korean forces are relentlessly trying to storm the Ukrainian position on the Kursk front, disregarding enormous losses. Source: Army Inform, a Ukrainian military news outlet, citing Stanislav Krasnov, a platoon commander of the 95th Air Assault Brigade, on the national joint 24/7 newscast Details: Krasnov reported that Russian forces had made significant efforts to prevent Ukrainian defence forces from advancing a few days ago but were ultimately unsuccessful. This came despite the redeployment of North Korean troops to the battlefield. Quote: "They've changed their tactics a tad. They're moving in smaller groups now. Instead of up to 50 people, they're now coming in 15-20 strong. But the approach is the same. They keep coming at our positions like cockroaches. They gather somewhere in the forested areas and try to break through. Nothing's really changed, and they're still taking huge losses." Support UP or become our patron!

NATO: Continued military support for Ukraine will impact Russia's capabilities
Russia has lost over 700,000 soldiers, either killed or wounded, since the beginning of the large-scale Russian-Ukrainian war. NATO believes that ongoing military support for Ukraine will strengthen its position in future negotiations. Source: Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, the new Chair of the NATO Military Committee, in an interview with ArmyInform, a Ukrainian military news outlet Details: Cavo Dragone said that Russia has lost over 700,000 soldiers either killed or wounded since February 2022. Additionally, thousands of tanks, armoured vehicles and aircraft have been destroyed, and the Russian fleet has been pushed out of much of the Black Sea. He went on to say that despite these losses, Russia was continuing its aggression with support from North Korea, Iran and China, but in the long run, it would be difficult for Russia to ignore such high casualties. The admiral believes that continued military support for Ukraine will further weaken Russia's military capacity and strengthen Ukraine's position in future negotiations. He said that the focus must be on supporting the end of the war to ensure Ukraine can enter any negotiations from a position of strength. Cavi Dragone also highlighted that Ukraine's strikes on Russian military targets are disrupting logistics, weakening Russia's ability to carry out further attacks, and forcing Moscow to divert more resources to defence. He added that although these strikes alone cannot end the war, they are causing significant damage to Russia, as their targets include fuel depots, air bases, and ammunition supplies. Background: Recently, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the main focus would be on discussing security guarantees during his meeting with US President Donald Trump. On 5 February, Trump said that Russia could have lost "800,000, or possibly more" soldiers as a result of its aggression. Support UP or become our patron!

Russia-North Korea military ties can be curbed by intercepting arms shipments, NATO says
NATO believes that Russia's cooperation with North Korea can be stopped, among other things, by intercepting arms supplies. Source: Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, the new Chair of the NATO Military Committee, in an interview with ArmyInform, a Ukrainian military news outlet Details: Cavo Dragone stated that Pyongyang is supplying Moscow with ammunition, missiles and even personnel, which poses a significant threat, enabling Russia to replenish its stockpile amid heavy losses. Cavo Dragone stated that NATO had called on Russia and North Korea to cease their actions immediately, adding that ending North Korea's involvement would require stronger sanctions, increased diplomatic pressure on China and the interception of arms shipments through intelligence and naval cooperation. He stressed that strengthening deterrence measures against North Korea was necessary to prevent further military cooperation with Russia. Background: In late January, Colonel Ants Kiviselg, head of the Estonian Defence Forces Intelligence Centre, noted that there were signs indicating North Korea might send more troops to assist Russia before the summer. The Japanese public broadcaster NHK recently reported that North Korea is likely to begin producing drones in 2025, developed in collaboration with Russia. Support UP or become our patron!
