good to know
a full scale war with Russia would cost Europe and the world $1.5 trillion.
that’s much cheaper than expected. EU with 27 countries has $20 trillion in Gdp.

High-quality footage of the use of the Russian combat vehicle TOS-1A "Solntsepek", possibly TOS-2 "Tosochka", in the Kharkov region of Ukraine. In order to avoid losses in personnel, combat vehicles were used during the assault. The video shows strikes on the Ukrainian Volchansk oil extraction plant in the city of Volchansk in the Kharkov region. There was a temporary deployment point of the Ukrainian army there. Thermobaric missiles were used to strike the plant; the temperature at the epicenter of the explosion of such ammunition reaches three thousand degrees.

Russia’s summer offensive stalls
Russia’s summer offensive in Ukraine is faltering just weeks after it began, despite a record number of attacks across multiple fronts.
Data analysis by The Telegraph shows Moscow is on track to break its own record, which was set last month, for offensive operations in June. Yet the sheer volume of assaults has not translated into meaningful breakthroughs on the battlefield.
The offensive – launched in May but planned over the winter – stretches from the northern border regions of Sumy and Kharkiv to the front lines in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk, into which Russian forces are attempting to break for the first time.
Moscow spent the winter months building up manpower, refining tactics and improving the co-ordination of missile and drone strikes. At first, there were signs it was paying off.
In May, Russian forces advanced at the fastest pace seen since last November, gaining an average of 5.5 square miles a day – double the rate of April, according to DeepState, a Ukrainian open-source intelligence project that tracks territorial changes.
Steady gains were made in the Donetsk region, especially between Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka, two of Moscow’s key targets. But several weeks into the campaign, momentum is slipping.
“The capacity to start something new and distinct really isn’t there for the Russians right now. The summer offensive is just going to be the continuation of what they’ve been doing in spring,” Angelica Evans, a Russia analyst at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), told The Telegraph.
In Sumy, Russian forces appear to have stalled entirely. Having re-entered the region in January and intensified their push this spring, Moscow’s troops have failed to make further gains. Instead, Ukraine has recaptured some territory.

Russian FPV drone operators from the 83rd Guards Airborne Assault Brigade showed the defeat of a Ukrainian Strv 122 tank in the Sumy region of Ukraine. The Strv 122 tank is a Swedish modification of the German Leopard 2A5 tank, the main change in it is additional armor. In Ukraine, the tank was also reinforced with "Mangal" type protection. The Strv 122 tank was attacked by several drones. The fate of the crew is unknown.

DRONE WARFARE
The war between Russia and Ukraine has led to the creation of a new way of conducting aerial warfare. David Axe details how Ukraine has transformed its fightback and produced the world’s first drone regiment
The UkrSpecSystems PD-1 and PD-2 are medium surveillance and strike drones with endurance of up to ten hours All images14th
UAS Regiment

Ukrainian drone teams operate from the country’s dozens of large military airfields but can also disperse to small airstrips and even roadways to avoid retaliatory Russian strikes
The Ukrainian Air Force was at a serious disadvantage when Russian forces invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
Ukrainian brigades operated just 125 aging, Soviet-vintage Mikoyan MiG-29s and Sukhoi Su-24s, Su-25s and Su-27s. Russian regiments operated ten times as many jets and held the edge in radar coverage, long-range munitions, and electronic warfare.
Against the odds, Ukrainian air power hasn’t just survived more than three years of grinding warfare against a much more powerful foe – it has evolved into a high-tech force capable of taking the fight to the Russians.
It’s not the air force that’s going on the offensive, however. It’s a new air arm: the Ukrainian defense ministry’s separate Unmanned Systems Forces (USF), the world’s first independent drone force, which stood up on February 6, 2024, and has, in a heady year-and-a half, mobilized the world’s largest and most capable arsenal of long-range strike drones.
Led by its 14th Unmanned Aircraft Systems Regiment, the USF strikes deep inside Russia on a near daily basis, damaging airfields, industrial sites and oil refineries, doing so at low risk to the USF’s roughly 5,000 personnel.
The USF wasn’t responsible for the June 1 complex attack that targeted several Russian Air Force bomber bases – and damaged or destroyed potentially dozens of hard-to-replace bombers. That operation was planned and executed by Ukraine’s State Security Service using short-range first-person-view drones smuggled near the bases by hijacked Russian trucks.
No, the USF conducts less spectacular but far more frequent attacks using long-range drones. The increasingly damaging raids, now extending as far as 1,000 miles into Russia, raise the cost of the war for Moscow by destroying munitions and fuel stocks and occasionally even aircraft – and by depressing Russian oil refining and compelling Russian firms to switch to exporting less valuable unprocessed petroleum.
How Ukraine has managed to build the world’s leading drone air force while at war is a question only future historians can fully answer. But it’s hard to deny that Ukraine’s expansive high-tech industry –hundreds of startups and small workshops spread across the country – has played a critical role.
Where the Kremlin has centralized drone development and production in a few corrupt industries, the defense ministry in Kyiv has spread it out, empowering tiny teams to try out their best ideas, rewarding the best with lucrative contracts that are often fattened by finance from Ukraine’s closest allies.

After a slow start, Ukrainian industry now produces dozens of long-range surveillance and strike drones every month
First tentative raids
On June 22, 2022, four months after a powerful Russian force rolled east across Ukraine, the Ukrainians went on the offensive in the air. A pair of explosives-laden drones motored at least 100 miles from free Ukraine and struck the oil refinery in Novoshakhtinsk, in Rostov Oblast in western Russia.
The blasts inflicted only minor damage, but they signaled what would, more than two years later, become a main effort in Ukraine’s war strategy.
Strikes on Russian airfields damaged or destroyed several Tupolev Tu-22 bombers and blew up hundreds or even thousands of aerial munitions, including KAB precision glide bombs and Kh-101 and Kh-555 cruise missiles.
Raids targeting critical defense industries – in particular, factories building Russia’s Iranian-designed Shahed attack drones as well as components for fiber-optic-guided short-range quadcopters – throttled the supply of critical offensive systems to Moscow’s regiments.
UkrSpecSystems designed the Shark drone to resist Russian jamming. When the drone loses its connection to navigation satellites, it switches to autonomous navigation
Perhaps most significantly, Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia’s 20 or so large oil refineries in late 2024 and early 2025 depressed the country’s production of petroleum products –gasoline, for example – by as much as 10%, with cascading effects on Russian military logistics and exports.
“These cascading effects, which erode Russia’s economic resilience, increase operational costs and expose vulnerabilities in its energy-dependent war economy,” explained Olena Lapenko, general manager on security and resilience at the DiXi Group think tank in Kyiv.
With a growing stable of bomb-dropping or self-exploding drones capable of reliably traveling up to 1,000 miles inside Russia, Ukraine can hold at risk the most important machinery of Russia’s wartime economy. The USF’s drones are doing, at low cost and risk, what the US and Russian Air Force’s cruisemissile-armed heavy bombers do, but at much higher cost and greater risk.
It’s not fair to compare, for example, one of Ukraine’s UAC FP-1 strike drones – ranging just 1,000 miles with a warhead weighing up to 250lb – with, say, a Northrop Grumman B-2 stealth bomber ranging 6,000 miles with 20 tons of precision bombs in its bays, but an FP-1 might cost just $100,000. Ukrainian industry builds dozens of similar drones every month. By contrast, each B-2 costs $2bn. There are just 19 in the US Air Force inventory.
The Ukrainian USF can’t control the air over Ukraine – to say nothing of controlling the air over Russia. Yet exploiting gaps in Russia’s fraying air-defense network, it can hit the Russians where it really hurts and inflict what Lapenko called “systemic stress”.
As more drones launched starting last fall, Russian leaders panicked. In March, they agreed to halt strikes on Ukrainian power plants if the Ukrainians would halt strikes on Russian refineries. That moratorium on energy raids continued at least through May although Ukrainian attacks on other Russian targets continued.
A billion dollars, up in flames
The Russian defense ministry’s Main Missile and Artillery Directorate (GRAU), maintains some two dozen munitions depots across Russia, together storing millions of tons of ammunition. On April 22, Ukraine’s long-range drones struck one of them: the 51st GRAU Arsenal just east of Moscow, 320 miles from the border with Ukraine.
The arsenal exploded in a towering fireball. Fragments rained on the surrounding community as rounds cooked off.
The strike on the 51st GRAU arsenal may have destroyed hundreds of thousands of tons of munitions. It was one of the most destructive in a series of Ukrainian strikes targeting Russian munitions dumps and weapons factories.
Not all the raids were carried out by the USF’s drones. On December 26, Ukrainian Air Force Sukhoi Su-24 bombers flung several British-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles at a Shahed drone factory in Oryol Oblast, in western Russia, 100 miles from the Ukrainian border. A follow-up attack on January 26 compounded the damage. In total, at least 200 Shaheds burned. The Ukrainian main intelligence directorate and the separate USF – in particular, the USF’s 14th UAS Regiment – carried out many of the most damaging attacks. On or just before March 13, long-range attack drones belonging to the Ukrainian intel agency hit a hidden drone manufacturing facility in Obukhovo, just outside Moscow.
Ukrainian drones are inexpensive, often costing just $100,000 or less. That makes them expendable – and deployable at large scale
And an overnight drone raid a week later, on March 20, struck a cruise missile depot at the Russian Air Force’s Engels bomber base in southern Russia, 300 miles from the front line. The impacts triggered a succession of explosions that blew the roofs off homes in the surrounding community and reportedly destroyed 96 Kh-101 cruise missiles worth a staggering $960m.
While it’s certainly better for the Ukrainians to blow up Russian ammo stocks than to not blow up Russian ammo stocks, it has been a challenge for Ukrainian planners to fold the strikes into a wider strategy.
According to Ukrainian analysis group Frontelligence Insight, more than half of the Ukrainian missile and drone strikes between September and February – many of them aimed at munitions stocks – “had limited impact” as workers rushed to fix the damaged facilities and Russian industry surged to compensate for lost production.
Attacking more often, and with heavier munitions than the current lightweight attack drones, might inflict lasting damage, Frontelligence Insight concluded. That helps to explain the most recent developments in Kyiv.
Better drones
Ukrainian industry is building bigger and better drones. The FP-1 with its 1,000-mile range and 250lb warhead is significantly more powerful than the older Ukrjet UJ22. The latter ranges maybe 500 miles with a 45lb warhead.
Ukrainian-Czech UAC tweaked a lot of small things to extend the propeller-driven FP-1’s range and payload compared to older drones. The biggest refinement is the most obvious: the FP-1 doesn’t have landing gear. Instead of taking off on its own wheels like, say, the older UkrSpecSystems PD-1, the FP-1 blasts off from an angled ramp, propelled by a fuselage-mounted rocket.
After more than three years of war, Ukraine is arguably the world’s leading drone power
The new drone made its official public debut at a May exhibition in Kyiv. Production began last year and the type has already seen combat.
Ukraine boasts an array of domestically produced strike drones and routinely strikes targets such as air bases and oil refineries hundreds of miles inside Russia. The deepest strikes are the most demanding, of course, and usually fall to the small number of Aeroprakt A-22 sport planes that the Ukrainians have converted into far-flying attack drones by replacing the human pilot with remote and autonomous control.
The A-22s, each costing $80,000 or more before the addition of drone controls and warheads, are an awkward solution to Ukraine’s long-range strike problem. They’re designed to be manned planes and have voluminous cockpits. In other words, they are overbuilt for what they do as drones, which might explain why an A-22 or similar sport-plane drone evidently ranges just 800 miles or so with a 220lb warhead.
The FP-1 might cost slightly more than a robotic A-22, but it should also travel much farther with a similar payload. It helps that UAC omitted the landing gear, which on most manned planes accounts for up to 5% of the overall weight. If the gear folds up into the fuselage for maximum aerodynamic efficiency, it also consumes a lot of internal volume.
It’s unclear how Ukraine’s long-range drones navigate. They may use terrain-matching, internal inertial systems or GPS – or some combination of these methods.
Bigger raids
The scale of Ukrainian drone raids is increasing and the drones grow more sophisticated, with Ukrainian industry churning out more copies. On May 28, Russian officials claimed their air defenses shot down 296 Ukrainian drones across multiple regions the previous night.
It may have been one of the biggest Ukrainian drone attacks of the wider war. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin claimed air-defenses in the city and surrounding region shot down more than 30 drones. At the same time, however, Russian officials suspended flights at Vnukovo, Zhukovsky, and Sheremetyevo airports owing to the intensive drone activity.
Ukrainian drones hit the Raduga factory in Moscow Oblast, which builds cruise missiles, the Security Service of Ukraine said.
Drones also struck the Kronstadt drone factory and a microelectronics plant in the same oblast as well as the Dmitrievsky Chemical Plant in Ivanovo Oblast, just east of Moscow, the Ukrainian general staff reported.
When Joe Biden was the US president and directed substantial quantities of military aid to Ukraine, Ukrainian leaders respected his’s main condition for the aid: that they didn’t strike too hard inside Russia and risk provoking the nuclear power. Now that Donald Trump is the president and largely withholding significant aid, there’s no one in Washington, DC, the Ukrainians really need to appease.
They can launch their drones at will. And they are, said Ben Hodges, a retired general who commanded US Army forces in Europe from 2014 to 2017. “I don’t think the Ukrainians are waiting on permission now.”
Ukraine may not have much of an air force, but it has the biggest and best drone force in the world – and it’s using it to full effect.
