Ukraine is engaged in the bleak future of war, with both sides using remotely-operated drones to strike individual soldiers, army positions and other targets with deadly speed and precision.
With the frontline largely static and soldiers dug in, drones have become the new means of attack, with both Russian and Ukrainian forces seeking to gain an advantage using the new technology.
Russia has the advantage in numbers: six drones for every Ukrainian one, although Ukraine’s drone teams say they have the technological edge and are quicker at finding ways to counter-attack and jam Russian drones.
Jane Hill presents a BBC News at Ten special frontline report by Quentin Sommerville in Lyptsi in north-east Ukraine.

Britain is transferring weapons to Ukraine as if it were business as usual.
Imagine the situation, tomorrow Russia will transfer nuclear weapons to the Taliban and they will attack Britain and hit London with nuclear bombs.
Russia will say that it simply handed over the weapons, and what the Taliban do with them is none of its business. Is that what you say about Ukraine? Why can't Russia say the same about the Taliban?
Do I understand correctly? Is the invasion of another country by Ukraine being presented as a normal phenomenon? This is an invasion! Ukraine has invaded another country! What are you talking about?!
1:57 terrifiing explosion
The rapid refinement an innovative deployment of drones for so many specific tasks & purposes are making them the new "peacekeepers" in an odd sense. A minimal investment with maximum results. a $1k donor drone or fleet of such drones invested in for sacrifice in taking out specific targets such as multi million dollar helicopters & aircraft, tanks, personnel carriers ships & submarines or ground troops & whatever they're being thrown at, This is a troop/life saving revelation to behold. The Ukrainians have shown such incredible adaptivity using innovative strategies while embracing this technology with the will to use them in rendering extraordinary results against overwhelming numbers & odds, More than often replacing the need for, or having lack of boots on the ground to oppose in so many situations,all the while changing those entrenched battlefields of old, forever. That old cliche" No where to run & no where to hide" couldn't be more relevant than today. What was considered an RC Toy not so long ago has become the weapon of choice in the hands of these young and capable expert remote pilots with such keen skills being fully developed as children playing video games. Slava Ukraine, God bless your heroes, brave souls sacrificing it all for their country & showing the very best in the free world.
Wow, so intense. THANK YOU BBC 8:11 NEWS. BE SAFE. GLORY TO UKRAINE 🇺🇦 🇨🇦
Permanently destroying Russia and Vladimir Putin is not a realistic or desirable goal in the current international context. However, Ukraine can take steps to defend itself and weaken the influence of the Putin government, ensuring its own sovereignty and stability. Here are some strategies Ukraine might consider:
Strengthening National Defense:
Military Modernization: Continue modernization and professionalization of the Ukrainian armed forces with the support of international allies, including the acquisition of advanced military technology.
Training and Strategy: Improve troop training and develop asymmetric defense strategies that can effectively confront a larger and better equipped enemy.
International Support:
Strategic Alliances: Strengthen alliances with Western countries and organizations such as NATO and the EU, seeking military, economic, and diplomatic assistance.
Sanctions: Work with international allies to maintain and strengthen sanctions against Russia, weakening its economy and military capability.
Domestic Reforms:
Fighting Corruption: Implementing domestic reforms to combat corruption and strengthen democratic institutions, increasing domestic resilience and the legitimacy of the Ukrainian government.
Economic Development: Fostering economic growth through investment- and innovation-friendly policies, decreasing economic dependence on Russia, and increasing domestic stability.
Information Warfare:
Counter-Propaganda: Countering Russian propaganda with truthful and transparent information campaigns, using local and international media to tell the Ukrainian story and expose the actions of the Putin regime.
Cybersecurity: Strengthening cyber defenses to protect critical infrastructure and counter Russian cyber attacks.
Diplomacy and Human Rights:
Supporting Human Rights: Denouncing Russian human rights violations in international forums, increasing diplomatic pressure and isolating Russia in the international community.
Mediation and Dialogue: Participate in mediation and dialogue processes facilitated by international bodies to seek peaceful and sustainable solutions to the conflict.
Social and Political Resilience:
National Cohesion: Foster unity and social cohesion within Ukraine, strengthening the sense of national identity and resistance against external aggression.
Participatory Democracy: Promote citizen participation in decision-making and strengthen democratic institutions to ensure that the government reflects the aspirations of the Ukrainian people.
These strategies not only help defend Ukraine's sovereignty, but also contribute to weakening the influence of Putin's government in a sustainable and ethical manner. The main objective must be to ensure Ukraine's security, stability and prosperity, while promoting an international order based on respect for human rights and national sovereignty.

Ukraine are loosing ans still will loose its all propaganda news world wide
How can you imagine it, Russians, because I can't understand it (???) an attack by motorized (on motorcycles) Russian soldiers plus attacking trucks is an attempt to attack the Ukrainian position. This is certain death for Russian soldiers. What's the point, someone decided that this is how it has to be, and this is what's happening. This is another schizophrenia of this country, just like it was in the times of Lenin and Stalin, today it is slightly different, but the mistakes are equally schizophrenic. In 50, 100 years this sick country will still make mistakes… H002
people who fight in the ukraine are complete stupid. fighting and dying for what sense? we europeans want to live in peace also with russia. stop that war , the threat of ww3 is emense. nobody in the european union will fight for ukraine. people in the west are peaceful and want a diplomatic solution.

It seems that the ukraine fighter is saying they dont rely on the artillery? That the drones are their saviors? Well then hey lets send drones if our artillery is just going to sit around ? Hes on the front line so he knows ,put a stop on the artillery and just send drones ? Cheaper and so he says they are more affective.

Drone warfare sucks! It's a shame that modern combat has changed into this and only going to get worse. The days of old are no more.
