Ukrainian kamikaze drones are increasing casualties among Russian forces in a particularly brutal way. The soldiers turn to Putin pleadingly.
Donbass – They came on the orders of Kremlin autocrat Vladimir Putin. Many of them remain in Ukraine as other victims of Russia. As of early May 2024, more than 450,000 Russian Army soldiers have been killed or wounded in the Ukraine war. This was reported by the British Ministry of Defense in London, which is closely monitoring the situation. According to French estimates, at least 150,000 of these soldiers are no longer alive.
Russia’s losses: Drones wreak havoc on Putin’s army in Ukraine war
One of the reasons for the heavy losses suffered by the Russian Armed Forces in the Ukraine war: the treacherous drones used by the Ukrainians. Russian soldiers have now literally turned to the Kremlin regime and demanded an ancient weapon.
Casualties in the Ukraine war: Russian soldiers demand anti-drone rifles
A video is circulating on X (formerly Twitter) showing two Russian soldiers fighting a Ukrainian drone. Finally one of the soldiers destroys the drone with a rifle blast. Its model looks quite modern, but rifles are also available in older versions – from the 17th century.
“We need rifles, we need rifles!” “These drones are a real problem for us and we are struggling to find an effective way to control them to ward them off,” a Russian soldier recently declared in a video that went viral on social media. “We are tired of them, these damn drones! The gun saves the lives of ten people, „If not more. They’re just shooting at us.” The soldier’s photo looks like a cry for help in the Ukraine war, as if he were asking civil society to raise money to buy rifles because the Russian army is abandoning its soldiers again?
Vladimir Putin’s losses: Russian soldiers fear Ukrainian drones
Another Russian soldier appears in an American news magazine Newsweek “Drones are a constant nuisance and we have no ways to deal with them,” he was quoted as saying. Will rifles be a decisive factor for us on the ground to minimize casualties against Ukrainian forces? Ukrainian military bloggers frequently post videos on social networks about how Russian soldiers are directly attacked by suicide drones, or how drones drop grenades on them. In such cases there is often no escape for them.
Why guns? In the modern defense industry, the so-called air burst ammunition is based on this. In this case, the ammunition is exploded in the air by a detonation charge and releases many small fragments over a large radius. This creates a veritable cloud of shrapnel or submunitions. Shotguns work similarly, and also fire ammunition that disperses through the air over a large radius, greatly increasing the likelihood of hitting flying targets – such as drones.
Russia’s losses in the Ukraine war: Kamikaze drones have become dangerous for tanks
Since the T-72, T-80 and T-90 battle tanks on the Russian side, as well as Ukrainian Leopard 2 and M1 Abrams tanks, have proven vulnerable to suicide drones, the Western arms industry is at least pushing to develop protection systems. Remotely active such as Trophy. These also fire shrapnel at lightning speed in order to neutralize an approaching projectile with a sort of ammunition cloud. Which again resembles the traditional single soldier rifle.
As the Russian army advances towards Chasiv Yar in the Donbass region west of Bakhmut, a Ukrainian soldier, among others, called for more reactive armor for Abrams tanks due to the threat of drones – just to name a few. Both sides often link the old but powerful RPG-7 anti-tank grenade to drones for tank combat. Or, as harsh as it may sound, using it to hunt down individual soldiers. (evening)

France recycles missiles for Ukraine. A process that makes the use of old inventories possible. The state also benefits economically.
Paris – Transforming the old into the new: It is clear that France also discovered this strategy and thus turned its arms shipments to Ukraine into a profitable deal for both sides. The so-called Operation Chrysalis, named after the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly, allows support to be provided to Ukraine without emptying its strategic reserve.
According to, they will be used in Operation Chrysalis Radio France International (RFI) Scalp cruise missiles stored in “cocoons” in French arsenals. There are two types of them: The first: intact missiles that have reached the end of their lifespan. The second is the “disassembled” missiles, parts of which have been removed for use in other Scalp missiles.
Four times cheaper than new cruise missiles: reprocessed scalp missiles for Ukraine
The missiles are scheduled to be used in… Ukraine war It was returned to French production sites to be commissioned and tested within approximately three months. Tests were simplified due to their timely use against Russia. “It is a very economical approach, as the scalps pulled from the cocoons become ‘scrap’ anyway. [Vernichtung] It has been identified,” he said Radio frequency source.
In January, the President of France. Emmanuel MacronHe announced the delivery of „forty Scalp missiles” to Kiev. Process Chrysalis is said to have begun around this time. Sources revealed to Radio frequency This procedure indicates that the costs of one missile can be divided into a quarter compared to newly produced missiles. Chrysalis aims to be loud Radio frequency It will be completed this year, so the stocks will likely be used.
Scalp and Storm Shadow missiles are valuable for Ukraine – France wants to maintain strategy with export versions
French authorities are also searching for other ammunition, such as artillery shells or surface-to-air weapons. Another approach is to purchase Scalp missiles in the „export version” and then reprogram them so that the mission preparation can also be done via French computers.
According to the Polish news site Bolon Scalp missiles of the export version have been imported from India, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Greece, for example. A source said the best scenario was “a direct sale to Ukraine with a new missile buyback behind it.” Radio frequency. „This is amazing!”
Scalp cruise missiles, also known as Storm Shadows, are the British-French equivalent of the Taurus missiles. However, these missiles have a range of only 250 kilometers, about half the range of the Taurus missiles. However, the Kremlin has seen a surge in Scalp missile supplies. For example, Ukraine used missiles to strike the Russian Black Sea Fleet near Crimea or the Russian vehicle fleet in Crimea. (word)

China is angry: The US destroyer USS Halsey entered Chinese territorial waters „without permission.” The US Navy waves it off.
BEIJING – Against the backdrop of increasing tensions in the South China Sea China On Friday, the United States responded with sharp words to the passage of a US Navy ship near a group of disputed islands. Military spokesman Tian Junli said on Friday that “the US actions seriously violate China’s sovereignty and security.” Thus, the United States creates “security risks in the South China Sea” and is “the greatest destroyer of peace and stability in the region.”
According to military spokesman Tian, the missile destroyer USS Halsey entered Chinese territorial waters near the Xisha Islands “illegally and without permission from the Chinese authorities.” „Xisha Islands” is the Chinese term for the Paracel Islands. China sent naval and air forces to „track and monitor” the ship „in accordance with laws and regulations” and „issued an alert to redirect it away.”
Tensions in the South China Sea: US confirms passage of USS Halsey
The US Navy confirmed the ship’s passage, saying it „asserted navigational rights and freedoms in the South China Sea near the Paracel Islands.” “Unlawful and extensive maritime claims in the South China Sea pose a serious threat to freedom of the seas,” she said.
China has established a number of military bases on the Paracel Islands, although Vietnam and Taiwan also claim sovereignty over the island chain. The United States and its allies frequently send warships to the region to bolster their claim to freedom of passage.
Meanwhile, Taiwan’s air force conducted a military exercise in the Penghu Islands, which are located a few kilometers from the Chinese coast and are administered by Taiwan. Several fighter jets fired live ammunition, including missiles and US-made laser-guided bombs, according to video footage distributed by Taiwan’s military news agency. These were „routine training” for fighter pilots in which they practiced their „skills in precision strikes in air combat.”
The exercises come ten days before the inauguration of Taiwan’s new president, Lai Ching-te, who won the elections last January and whom Beijing describes as a „dangerous separatist.”
China increases its pressure on Taiwan
China views Taiwan as a breakaway province that should be reunited with the mainland – by military force if necessary. In recent years, China has increased its pressure on Taiwan, regularly sending fighter jets and warships near the island.
Meanwhile, the Philippines and the United States concluded joint military exercises in areas near disputed maritime areas. Exercises Balikatan („Shoulder to Shoulder” in the language widely spoken in the Philippines, Tagalog) began on 22 April and also involved one hundred Australian soldiers. (AFP)
