Russia possesses strong ballistic missile and drone capabilities. Predictions in early 2022 suggested Russia would run out of missiles, but three years later, they are producing and deploying missiles that the United States cannot defend against. The recent strikes demonstrated Russia's ability to destroy Patriot missile batteries. Ukraine fired approximately 20 missiles within two minutes during the strikes, while Lockheed Martin only produces 550 of these missiles annually. Russia's ballistic missile and drone strategy is causing significant attrition of NATO weapons.

We were given a stand with two Max7 machine guns, caliber 7.62. They have performed well, targeting Shakhids and drones. We used them effectively to cover areas and provide square coverage. The effective range is about 1.5-2 km, with a bullet flight distance of around 3800 meters.

Ted Postal, professor emeritus at MIT and expert on nuclear weapons and their delivery systems, discusses the Arashnik/Oreshnik hypersonic system and what is known about its capabilities, limitations, and potential implications. Postal emphasizes that the weapon is a very powerful conventional system, not a nuclear one. He notes that it delivers munitions and, as of the evidence available, seems to inflict damage primarily through kinetic impact. While adding submunitions with high explosives could increase damage per submunition, this would not constitute a game changer unless nuclear weapons were mounted on top of the system. He also cautions that the fact the system can deliver nuclear weapons is not especially novel in the context of existing delivery options, and the main policy concern is the possibility of escalation to nuclear use in response to a conventional attack. Key characteristics he outlines: - The Oreshnik is a one-stage missile that appears to repurpose the first stage of an old SS-20 (Pioneer) intermediate-range missile. The SS-20 was a two-stage missile with three warheads; in the Oreshnik, six buses on the vehicle carry submunitions. - The payload consists of six buses, each carrying about six submunitions, for a total of around 36 submunitions. Each submunition weighs roughly 70–80 kilograms. - The submunitions are delivered from a high-velocity canister that is ejected and then uses a high-pressure gas propulsion system to push out six submunitions onto six separate targets. The vehicle remains oriented to maintain stability, preventing tumbling and ensuring precise deployment. - The submunitions travel at very high speeds (hypersonic) but do not reach hypersonic speed on impact with the ground due to atmospheric reentry dynamics. They hit the ground at approximately 150–200 kilometers per hour, not at Mach 10, because tumbling and aerodynamic drag reduce speed before impact. - Debris analysis suggests the submunitions are not penetrating deep underground; instead, their energy is converted into heat and a violent expansion near the surface, producing an explosion-like effect rather than deep penetration. - The trajectories are lofted, delivering the submunitions to the target area after a long flight time (Russia has claimed 15–17 minutes for submunitions to reach targets). This lofted path reduces the likelihood of interceptors successfully engaging the weapon. On the effects and targeting: - A single submunition’s energy disperses over a footprint rather than concentrating in a single crater. The weapon’s conventional damage is significant, especially when deployed as clusters against a structure or urban area, but it is not equivalent to a nuclear strike. - If six buses with six submunitions each were all directed at a single structure, the resulting destruction would be substantial, but the extent would depend on targeting accuracy and footprint, as well as how many submunitions actually strike the intended area. - Postal notes that a one-kiloton nucleus would create a clearly larger, more devastating area of destruction than the conventional cluster could achieve; meanwhile, a 150–200 kiloton nuclear warhead mounted on Oreshnik would be city-destroying, illustrating how dramatically different outcomes would be with a nuclear payload. Interception and defense: - Postal argues there is no reliable intercept option for this weapon. The high loft and deployment of multiple submunitions after release complicate interception: the submunitions depart the launcher and travel at several kilometers per second above the atmosphere; interceptors would have minutes to react at distances where they would struggle to reach the fast-moving submunitions. - He contrasts this with Iskander, noting that while intercepting Iskander is challenging, the Oreshnik presents a broader, more difficult defense problem due to its trajectory and submunition deployment. Strategic and political context: - The discussion touches on the broader strategic implications, including the psychological impact of a sky lit up by hypersonic activity and the potential for miscalculation leading to nuclear escalation. Postal warns against overestimating the weapon’s nuclear potential and cautions policymakers about proportional responses to conventional attacks. - He critiques public rhetoric and speculative defense concepts (e.g., extreme “golden dome” missile defense schemes) as impractical, arguing that current defenses are unlikely to deter or intercept hypersonic submunition deployments. - The dialogue also reflects on Western economic and political actions, such as sanctions, and suggests that some analyses of the effects on Russia’s economy and strategic posture may mischaracterize outcomes; Postal emphasizes that the weapon’s value lies in its conventional destructive capability and its ability to complicate defense planning, rather than in conventional deterrence or nuclear signaling. - The conversation closes with a stark warning: if thousands of these missiles were deployed, a significant strategic reshaping would follow, necessitating new considerations for air and missile defense, even as existing systems face fundamental limitations in countering hypersonic conventional weapons.

Военно-морской флот способен молниеносно ответить всем, кто решит посягнуть на суверенитет России, и успешно выполняет стратегические задачи в любом районе Мирового океана. Флот обладает высокой готовностью к активным действиям береговых, надводных, воздушных, подводных сил и средств, которые постоянно совершенствуются. В Вооруженные силы России в ближайшие месяцы начнутся поставки новейших, не имеющих аналогов в мире, гиперзвуковых ракетных комплексов Циркон, для которых нет никаких преград. **English Translation:** The Navy is capable of instantly responding to anyone who decides to encroach on Russia's sovereignty and successfully carries out strategic tasks in any area of the World Ocean. The fleet has a high readiness for active operations of coastal, surface, air, and underwater forces and assets, which are constantly being improved. In the coming months, the supply of the latest hypersonic missile systems, Zircon, which have no analogues in the world and for which there are no obstacles, will begin to the Russian Armed Forces.

Entering Red Square are the Russian aerospace force troops. Joining the parade are the S 400 Triumph anti aircraft missile systems of the 584 Guards Air Defense Missile Regiment of the Russian Aerospace Force commanded by Major Alexey Kryvorotko. The S 400 system enables Russia to maintain efficient air defense against all types of air and space threats, which has been confirmed during the special military operation.

Speaker 0: The discussion reports that Russia has covertly tested three new weapon systems over the past twenty-eight days, with two of them described as complete game changers. These tests are said to be causing nerves inside NATO, and none of these three have been made public by President Putin, who typically announces such developments. One system, however, is not being kept secret. Speaker 0: According to the report, Russian President Putin just rolled out their most advanced hypersonic missiles to date. These missiles are described as "no one can shoot down"—at least in the view of the speaker—unless future assessments prove otherwise. The specific system named is the Orenshik Oreshnik hypersonic missiles. They are set for combat duty by the end of the year, and they are characterized as capable of extremely high speeds and long-range strikes. The deployment of these missiles is framed as something NATO will be watching very closely. The report suggests that European leaders are exhibiting a willingness to engage in war-related actions, with two particularly troubling points highlighted: the idea that they want to be part of the conflict and the accompanying casualties. It is claimed that they want to participate in the death and destruction in the European Union and in The UK. Speaker 0: The report specifically notes German Chancellor Mertz saying that they are ready to draft young men to war if they cannot reach their volunteer numbers, effectively suggesting compulsory service to fight Russia. Speaker 0: It is also stated that the UK is telling its populace to prepare to sacrifice their sons and daughters, and the speaker emphasizes that "Sons and daughters, colleagues, veterans will all have a part to play, to build, to serve, and if necessary, to fight." The speaker adds that more families will know what sacrifice for our nation means. Speaker 1: The accompanying commentary underscores the need to explain the changing threat and the necessity of staying ahead of it, reinforcing the idea that sacrifice and readiness are central to national defense in the current context.

Ukrainian engineers designed drone launching systems disguised as wooden cabins on cargo trucks. These mobile containers concealed launch platforms, charging stations, and remote-controlled roofs. The design allowed vertical or angled launches, with signal shielding to avoid detection. Operatives moved the trucks into Russia, parking near airbases. Drones were preloaded and launched remotely, guided by live video feeds to targets within a few kilometers. Some drones carried high-explosive warheads. The operation hit at least five major airbases, damaging strategic bombers, including aircraft Russia no longer manufactures. Ukraine struck 34% of Russia's strategic bomber fleet. Targets included strategic nuclear bombers at Belaya Airbase in Siberia, Ivanovo Airbase near Moscow, Dyajalevo Airbase, and naval bases. Over 40 aircraft were reportedly hit. Some drones used fiber optic control systems, immune to jamming, but with limited range. A signal-enhancing drone can counter Russian electronic warfare. The drones are equipped with RPG warheads with piezoelectric triggers. The Tu-160 can release nuclear cruise missiles.

We will continue testing these systems, including in combat conditions, based on the security threats to Russia. We have a supply of these systems ready for deployment.

Ukraine could complicate Russia's plans to deliver weapons if they could install up to 17 batteries without issue. However, it is not confirmed if there will be 17 batteries. The delivery timetable is unknown, as is whether nations will release them now. It's also uncertain if Ukraine has enough trained personnel to operate 17 batteries, despite having trained people for the batteries already provided.

The Orishnik missile is described as a state-of-the-art weapon system launched from a massive 12 by 12 truck platform. It is engineered with multiple stages that enable it to reach orbit in a few minutes. A defining capability highlighted is its ability to hit hypersonic speed; once it attains altitude, it transitions into a steep dive, accelerating to hypersonic velocities. During its descent, the missile’s fairing opens to reveal six highly sophisticated warheads. Each warhead is equipped with miniature thrusters at its base, allowing the warheads to maneuver dynamically even as they fall under gravity. This maneuverability enables changes in direction, which is asserted to make it almost impossible for a Patriot missile to hit its target. The description notes that these capabilities are demonstrated in the video ahead.

The Iranian Shaheed 136 drone, rebranded as the Russian Juran-2, has slight upgrades. The Iranian version uses an inertial navigation system, while the Russian version uses GLONASS, a Russian alternative to GPS, which allows it to loiter but is vulnerable to jamming. Drones are transported by Tupolev Tu-22M bombers or Sukhoi Su-37 fighter jets, increasing their range from 1,000 km to 3,000 km, potentially reaching most of Europe. The Shaheed 136 is a low-budget cruise missile, costing $10,000-$40,000, and is launched from a truck container using rocket-assisted takeoff. The drone is 3.56 meters long, weighs 220 kg, and is powered by a 50-horsepower engine, sounding like a moped. It flies at low altitudes in swarms of five to ten to overwhelm air defenses. Limitations include GLONASS jamming. Countermeasures include weather balloons, Gepard anti-aircraft guns, and Soviet Zu-23 guns. Despite limitations, swarm tactics increase the chance of a successful strike.

This is not just a nuclear carrier or nuclear weapons carrier. This is a nuclear missile or nuclear submarine drone. Because it's in the water, it can carry a much larger payload than something flying through the air. So you've got two systems now operating with nuclear reactors in them. This is a whole new level of technology. The US created a nuclear missile once. It was nuclear powered. It was contamination in flight. Everything around was contaminated. They had to back off. They couldn't master the technology. But it was traceable too because of the radiation. It was leaking everywhere. These systems don't leak radiation. They're very effective. And what they are, first of all, just to understand, is they're second strike systems. So if The US, in this case, starts getting feisty and psychotic and tries to because The US, by the way, does have a policy of first strike, whether it's from space or whether it's missile bound or whether it's submarines out of coast. If The US thinks that they can decapitate the Russian leadership and somehow take out all the Russian missiles that are on tracked carriers, on rail carriers, on ships all over the place. But let's assume somehow they decide they can do this. You've got two issues here. One, you've got the Poseidon, which may already be in place or can be launched from a carrier and travel over three, four, five days to get in place and then explode and create a wave. I mean, if they could actually put a 100 megaton explosion, I mean, a city buster missile is one megaton. 10 megatons is something that you wipe out the entirety of something like the size of New York. If they could put a 100 megaton warhead as has been proposed, you'd be facing a 200 meter wave, a 150, 200 meter wave that would destroy most anything in its path. And that considering 80%, almost 80% of the American population lives on either of the East or the West Coast, the majority being on the East Coast, that's one of those vengeance weapons that would just destroy The US effectively as a country. Then you've got the Borovayashnik, which can fly for weeks, months maybe. Who knows nobody knows exactly how long it can actually fly. If tensions are growing very high, you put a five, six, 10 of those up in the air, and they're just doing circles and waiting for command. So the enemy knows that if they do a decapitating strike, they're gonna get wet. They're gonna get a surprise.

Speaker 0: The transcript portrays Putin issuing a chilling World War III threat with a flying Chernobyl-style nuclear weapon. The classified missile is rumored to reach Mach 15, change direction midair, and the Russians believe no one can shoot it down. They’ve already tested earlier versions on Ukraine. Even with high-tech missile defense systems, it cannot be stopped. Russia reportedly has hypersonic missiles that fly hundreds of feet above the ground, alongside ballistic missiles. The speaker asserts the Russians have it all, and that the US says Russia is ahead of us in hypersonic missiles. The Pentagon is described as keeping most powerful capabilities secret, with about two generations of weapons tucked away. The speaker claims Russia has almost a two-to-one nuclear superiority over the US, and that once war starts, nobody wins: even if 95% of missiles are shot down, they would still flatten every city and military base. A classified unnamed ballistic missile is shown dropping many dummy warheads as a demonstration. The narrative references alleged testing in Ukraine and notes a claim that a demonstration MIRV (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle) was presented: a demonstration that Russia can penetrate defenses and deliver nuclear payloads, though no warheads were involved in that particular display. The speaker recalls Biden announcing long-range cruise missiles, and Putin responding by attacking a missile factory, with subsequent release of photos showing holes in the centers of buildings within the factory. Western media allegedly dismissed these as not powerful missiles, but the speaker counters that it was a MIRV demonstration, and Russia later confirmed the demonstration of capability to field nuclear payloads. The speaker also claims Trump is frustrated with NATO and the EU, accusing them of starting the war with Russia and not wanting it to end. It is stated that Trump decided, over a week prior, not to provide Tomahawks to Zelenskyy. In response, EU and NATO are said to be supplying comparable or more advanced weapons to Ukraine, which would escalate the conflict on the escalatory ladder. Putin is said to be amassing nuclear weapons and attack submarines, with references to maps in the Daily Mail illustrating Russia’s buildup in the Arctic Circle as preparations for war with NATO are described. A segment mentions footage of the Skyfall ballistic missile factory. Speaker 1: Closing outro promoting Infowars, urging followers to connect on X (Twitter) at real Alex Jones and at AJN Live, and to download the Alex Jones app, urging support against the “democrat deep state party” and declaring that they will never be silenced.

Участники считают уверенность в бою ключевым: 'В бою всегда нужно быть уверенным, а уверенность это оружие.' Обсуждают роль гладкоствольного оружия: 'в эпоху дрона? Последняя линия ПВО' и 'Оружие это единственное гладкоствольное оружие, это фактически единственный, последний оплот.' Дистанция: 'не советовал дальше 50 метров вообще стрелять.' Необходимость навыков: 'они должны четко определять объект в пространстве.' Тренировка и охват: 'с конца 24 года провели 13 сейчас уже 14 выездная командировка' и 'обучили уже около 300 человек,' при этом 'у нас 36 волонтеров, вот с начала из него подписали контракт.'

Speaker 1: «Федеральной службы безопасности Российской Федерации во взаимодействии с Министерством обороны Российской Федерации в результате проведенной совместной операции нанесено огневое поражение объектам военно-промышленного комплекса Украины, задействованным в создании оперативно-тактического ракетного комплекса.» «Установлено, что при финансовой поддержке Германии и содействии иностранных специалистов на оборонных предприятиях Днепропетровской и Сумской областей Украины осуществлена разработка и производство оперативно-тактических ракетных комплексов среднего радиуса действия Сапсан, способных наносить удары вглубь территории Российской Федерации.» «Скоординированные действия российских силовых ведомств позволили предотвратить угрозу уничтожения целей в глубине территории Российской Федерации и ликвидировать техническую базу производства украинских дальнобойных баллистических ракет, в том числе на длительный срок блокировать реализацию украинской стороны программы Сапсан.» The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, in coordination with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, as a result of a joint operation, inflicted fire damage on facilities of Ukraine's defense-industrial complex involved in the creation of an operational-tactical missile system. It was established that with financial support from Germany and the assistance of foreign specialists at defense enterprises in Dnepropetrovsk and Sumy regions of Ukraine, the development and production of medium-range operational-tactical missile systems “Sapsan,” capable of striking deep into the Russian Federation, were carried out. Coordinated actions of Russian security agencies allowed to prevent the destruction of targets deep inside the Russian Federation and to liquidate the technical base for producing Ukrainian long-range ballistic missiles, including, for a long period, blocking the implementation of the Ukrainian side's Sapsan program.

**Ukrainian Summary:** Легко вдосконалити безпілотну систему, адаптувати її та зациклити всі напрямки БПЛА. Тоді з'явиться щось більше, ніж просто БПЛА. Це потрібно проти "тушок", запусків балістичних ракет, авіабомб типу FAB-3000. Загалом, однією ЛВС можна битися дронами, бо вони точніші та маневреніші. **English Translation:** It is easy to improve an unmanned system, adapt it, and cycle all UAV directions. Then something more than just UAVs will appear. This is needed against "corpses", ballistic missile launches, and FAB-3000-type aerial bombs. In general, one LVS can fight with drones because they are more accurate and maneuverable.

Drones: A year ago, Ukraine had more drones, but now drone numbers are roughly at parity. Both sides launch a similar number of drones. Russia uses fiber optic drones more actively, which are immune to Western electronic warfare systems. These drones render jamming antennas useless. The army is actively using unmanned systems, including remotely controlled carts that can carry ammo, food, evacuate wounded soldiers, or carry explosives. Russia considers its approach to warfare as complex, dangerous, and highly professional.

Spanish MAM 23 informa que sistemas de misiles Hawk están en camino a Ucrania para reforzar las defensas aéreas contra amenazas rusas. A pesar de haber sido desarrollado en los años cincuenta, los sistemas Hawk modernizados siguen siendo muy efectivos, demostrando éxito contra drones Shahed y misiles de crucero. Las fuerzas ucranianas han interceptado más de 40 drones y 14 misiles utilizando el sistema, probando su valor en la guerra moderna. Con un radar avanzado y componentes digitales mejorados, el Hawk ofrece precisión, adaptabilidad y fiabilidad. Su rica historia en conflictos a nivel mundial ahora se extiende a Ucrania, reforzando su papel crítico en estrategias de defensa aérea en capas, una reliquia de la Guerra Fría convertida en un activo moderno en el campo de batalla. --- Spanish MAM 23 reports that Hawk missile systems are en route to Ukraine to bolster air defenses against Russian threats. Despite being developed in the 1950s, modernized Hawk systems remain highly effective, demonstrating success against Shahed drones and cruise missiles. Ukrainian forces have intercepted over 40 drones and 14 missiles using the system, proving its value in modern warfare. With advanced radar and upgraded digital components, the Hawk offers precision, adaptability, and reliability. Its rich history in conflicts worldwide now extends to Ukraine, reinforcing its critical role in layered air defense strategies, a Cold War relic turned modern battlefield asset.

Russia is quietly deploying a smart artillery shell that doesn't need GPS and is changing the game in Ukraine. The Krasnopal M2 is a 152 millimeter projectile also available in 155 millimeter variants with semi active laser guidance that locks on to laser marked targets typically spotted by drones. It boasts pinpoint accuracy within two meters, a 50 kilogram frame, and a high explosive fragmentation warhead designed to demolish armored vehicles, fortifications, and command hubs. Its effective range hits 26 kilometers, stretching to 30 kilometers with advanced long barrel howitzers like the two s 19 Mistah s, two a 65 Mistah b, or two s 43 Malva. A standout feature, it operates without reliance on GPS or GLONASS rendering it resilient against electronic jamming in today's high stakes electronic warfare environment. On the front lines in Eastern and Southern Ukraine, these munitions have proven lethal against top tier western armor with a drone integration cutting the time from target detection to impact dramatically. This development highlights Russia's doctrinal evolution focusing on swift selective firepower and self reliant tech amid ongoing sanctions. As Bekhan Ozdoyev, head of Rostec's weapons cluster notes, the ability to produce and deploy high precision selective fire systems is today one of the keys to ensuring tactical and strategic superiority on the battlefield. In a grueling war of attrition, the Krasnopold m two enhance Russia's edge, enabling more efficient evasive operations that challenge countermeasures.

The transcript reports that Russia has completed tests of the Burovesnik missile, with launches slated for 2027. It is described as a doomsday weapon that is rewriting global security, and the speaker asks why Russia built it and what makes it a game changer. The Burovesnik is propelled by a solid-fuel booster and a nuclear air-breathing jet, and during tests it covered a distance of 14,000 kilometers in fifteen hours. It is described as subsonic and capable of operating at high or low altitudes. The weapon is said to have the ability to loiter for months with unlimited range, and it carries a one megaton warhead, which the speaker equates to 70 Hiroshima bombs, ensuring devastating retaliation. Development of the missile reportedly began in 2001 after the United States abandoned the ABM treaty. The missile is described as being sized like the KH-one 101 cruise missile, and it is characterized as a vengeance weapon targeting critical infrastructure. According to the speaker, its endless flight time disrupts the strategic balance and is an alarm to the West. The Burovesnik is described as ground-launched with no carrier needed, delivering precision strikes with a payload range of 50 kilotons to one megaton, stated as the equivalent of 70 Hiroshima bombs. It is presented as a response to US Tomahawks in Europe or Ukraine, and as a key lever in new START talks. The transcript notes that Russia could ramp up production if the treaty ends. The speaker ends with a promo-style call to action, saying not to miss the next big reveal and to follow new rules, geopolitics on X, or cutting edge geopolitical updates, implying ongoing updates about this missile and related strategic developments.

The deputy leader in the conversation discusses the country's most powerful nuclear missile defense system, the Format missile complex, which will be in use for the next 50 years. The confidence in its longevity comes from its reliance on Russian-made components, ensuring high reliability. Additionally, the preparation and training of missile troops are underway, with a mass production of new missiles already started in 2019. The infrastructure and personnel are being prepared for the deployment of the Format missile complex this year.

Ukrainians are not superheroes and face casualties on a daily basis. Today, I will show you unique videos of Russians destroying Ukrainian equipment. "This is an American m triple seven howitzer." "The Russian UAV hits the exact target and destroys the howitzer." "The rare and valuable SAM has been destroyed." "The UAV dives and hits the target." "This is a Polish AHS Crab Self Propelled Artillery Unit. The hit causes fire and destroys the launcher." "A battery of Ukrainian S-three 100 SAMs." "A kamikaze drone strike on the installations leads to a powerful explosion and the destruction of an adjacent installation." "Everything that you saw earlier was the work of the Russian Zala Lancet UAV." "At least 250 different pieces of equipment were destroyed by Russians using it." "The range of such a warhead drone is about 70 kilometers." "Lancets are launched with a metal rail." "The Russians are increasingly using lancets."

Dmitry Sims junior hosts lieutenant general Abty Alaudinov, hero of Russia, hero of the Chechen Republic, hero of the Donetsk People’s Republic, commander of the Akhmet Special Forces, and deputy head of the main military political directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The conversation centers on the current phase of the conflict, Russia’s strategy, the role of Western support, and comparisons with Israeli actions in Gaza and other theaters. Key points and claims: - Russia’s combat capability and strategy - Alaudinov states that “overall, all troops of the Russian Federation’s Ministry of Defense are engaged in active offensive operations across all sectors where we’re positioned,” with the most intense fighting around Pokrovsk, seen as the key point to break through to operational space. He notes progress in sectors where the Ahmad (Akhmet) special forces operate and emphasizes a broader offensive plan while maintaining an “active defense” to engage the entire front line and stretch the enemy’s resources. - He asserts that “only Russia is advancing” along the 1,000-kilometer line of contact and attributes slower offensive tempo to preserving personnel and avoiding a sharp breakthrough that could trigger NATO involvement. He argues the primary damage comes from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on both sides, and contends a rapid thrust would yield enormous losses. - Perceived signs of enemy strain - The speaker describes Ukraine as gradually crumbling under pressure, with Pokrovsk, Kupiansk, and the surrounding agglomeration “gradually falling apart.” He claims Russia liberates one or two settlements daily and that NATO support—drones and equipment—has not changed the overall dynamics; Ukraine cannot hold the front despite the influx of foreign weapons. - Western/NATO support - Alaudinov asserts that NATO testing is ongoing on Ukraine with drones, weapons, electronic warfare, etc., and that Trump’s shifting rhetoric does not reduce the flow of weapons or support. He contends that American support persists even as political statements change, and he notes deep American-NATO involvement via think tanks, satellites, and arms supplies that reach the front. - Drones and the changing nature of war - He emphasizes drones as the central element of modern warfare, while not negating the continued relevance of artillery and tanks. He argues: “a tank worth millions of dollars can be destroyed by a drone that costs $500,” and stresses the need to compete economically in war, deploying cheaper, effective unmanned systems to exhaust the enemy’s resources. - He claims Russia has a layered drone system for deep reconnaissance and strike with various warhead levels, ranges, and maneuverability, enabling operations from closest to farthest sectors and allowing “all targets” to be hit today. He asserts Russia is ahead of NATO in unmanned aviation. - Mobilization and tactics - Refuting Western depictions of “meat assaults,” he notes Russia conducted only one mobilization (300,000) and has continued advancing, while Ukraine has mobilized for years and still struggles. He attributes Ukraine’s resilience to nationalist formations behind mobilized troops, and he suggests that without NATO support, Ukraine would not sustain the front for many days. - Mercenaries and comparisons to Israeli actions - He characterizes Western mercenaries as having arrived with false expectations and being killed off in large numbers; Ukrainians are described as having strong spirit, but NATO soldiers lack endurance in the same way. Israeli mercenaries are described as capable in some contexts but not decisive against Russia. - On Gaza and the Israeli army, Alaudinov accuses Israel of “a fascist state” with tactics that spare no one, arguing Russia fights only those who fight with weapons and does not target women, children, or elders. He contrasts this with alleged Israeli actions in Gaza, saying Israel has no tactics and destroys civilians. - Nuclear considerations and doctrine - He asserts Russia is a nuclear power with substantial combat experience and advances in missiles like Zircon that could sink carriers, arguing NATO did not account for Russia’s capabilities when initiating the conflict. He presents a broader critique of Western policy and the so-called “deep state,” alleging far-reaching political dynamics involving Israel, Epstein, and compromise among Western leadership. - Closing perspective - The discussion closes with the host thanking Alaudinov for the detailed analysis of the operation and broader geopolitical commentary, including views on Israel, Gaza, Iran, and U.S. roles.
