This marks a tenfold increase over previous shipments. “These are unprecedented volumes,” Meier told FT. “We’ve already shipped thousands, now we’re scaling up to tens thousand." Skynode S is a compact onboard computer with passive cooling, designed to turn manually operated drones into fully autonomous platforms.

Equipped w/camera & radio module, it enables drones to detect, track, & follow moving targets at distances of up to one kilometer even in contested electromagnetic environments. 

Ukrainian forces have already employed earlier versions of Auterion’s software in combat. Meier emphasized that the company is not seeking to compete with Ukraine’s existing drone industry but to complement it with advanced software-driven warfare capabilities.


Auterion’s AI system provides object recognition & target tracking capabilities. Meier claims it transforms drones into “AI-based weapons systems” capable of operating in GPS- communications-denied environments. Primary role of Skynode modules will be to enhance defenses against long-range strike drones supplied to Russia by Iran.

Even at a conservative effectiveness rate of 70–80%, the deployment of 33,000 modules could result in the interception of approximately 23,000 to 26,000 enemy drones. At 90% effectiveness, that number could exceed 29,000. The modules will also enable communication & coordination among swarms of autonomous drones—an evolutionary step in Ukraine’s drone warfare capabilities, according to Meier. Earlier, at the LANDEURO 2025 conference in Wiesbaden, General Alexus G. Grynkewich, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe, acknowledged Ukraine is outpacing NATO in drone tech innovationHe urged alliance to learn from Ukraine’s rapid battlefield integration of new technologies, calling it a model for modern warfare.

Ukraine's special operators used to dodge artillery shells. Now they're trying to survive Russian drones. 

Now!. Small exploding drones have emerged as the main battlefield killer in Ukraine. Ukraine's special operators were once focused on artillery, but now they train to survive to be care of drones.
An American instructor said he teaches soldiers to hide, move smart, and use their guns if needed.

Ukraine's special operators used to focus their training on surviving intense Russian artillery fire. Now, their attention has shifted to drones — the main battlefield killer. "Things have changed drastically," an American instructor with the 4th Ranger Regiment of Ukraine's Special Operations Forces told Business Insider. He could only be identified by his call sign Scooter for security reasons.

"One of the main differences we see today is the prevalence of drones," he said. "In 2022, it was primarily artillery fire. There was a lot more of it." The Ukrainian Rangers are now learning better concealment tactics and how to shoot down drones with their service weapons as a last resort.

DIY exploding drones are changing the game in Ukraine war. DIY exploding drones are changing the game in Ukraine war. Artillery, long described as the "king of battle," has played a central role in Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, especially during the early years of the conflict, with both sides using the towed cannons and multiple launch rocket systems to attack the enemy.

The scale of the artillery duels could be seen in satellite imagery of the battlefield, where hundreds of craters peppered huge swaths of land and reduced buildings to rubble. However, amid strained ammunition stockpiles and as the war transitioned from a maneuver-oriented conflict to one of attrition, with relatively static front lines, drones have emerged as the dominant battlefield threat, with some recent estimates suggesting that they are causing around 70% of Russian and Ukrainian casualties.

Scooter attributed the rise of drones to what has been called "shell hunger," explaining that Russia exhausted its stocks of artillery ammunition and began to rely on small quadcopter drones — known as first-person view, or FPV, drones — to fill the gaps. Ukraine also experienced a shortage of artillery rounds, turning to drones as an alternative.

Business Insider tells the innovative stories you want to know "In 2022, we were trained to utilize terrain and structures to counter artillery fire," said Scooter, speaking to BI via video chat from an undisclosed location in central Ukraine.

"Now, we have to train people with the mentality that they are going to constantly be targeted by a loitering munition piloted by a human operator," he said. 'Move fastdon't move too fast'
FPV drones have emerged as a cheap way to deliver precision strikes against enemy trenches, personnel, and vehicles. Above Ukraine, these weapons are everywhere, with their tiny cameras giving human operators near-constant battlefield surveillance. Russia and Ukraine have made the FPV drones even more of an issue over the past year by using fiber-optic cables to connect them to their operators, making the small aircraft resistant to most electronic warfare tactics. "We have had to change our mentality with training completely," Scooter said. "How do I deal with FPVs? Not so much 'how do I deal with artillery fire?" He said the first thing that he teaches Ukraine's special operators is how to blend in with their surroundings and practice better camouflage techniques. This means that every shiny object needs to be painted, removed, or taped over, with paint covering the hands and face. A service member of the 429th Achilles Separate Unmanned Aerial Systems Regiment prepares an FPV drone for a fly at a position near the front line town of Kupiansk, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Kharkiv region, Ukraine June 23, 2025.

Overall, Pokrovsk is been attack by 
Russian 100,000 soldiers manage to identify a weak spot on Pokrovsk’s southwestern perimeter, briefly infiltrating, as initial assault by enemy swiftly repelled, battle for Pokrovsk has decisively begun & will likely intensify significantly. Recognizing massive Russian buildup, over 100,000 troops Ukrainian commander said. Ukrainian defenses are on outskirts of Pokrovsk, taking control of buildings launching ambushes too  on run-down town, Ukrainian rapid reaction responded immediately, clearing enemy infiltrators be4 continue to stop exploit breach. To south of Pokrovsk, reconnaissance enemy managed to infiltrate outskirts of the town through Zvirove, exploiting a momentary of Ukrainian infantry shortage created a large gap on the frontline. Leveraging local terrain such as terrain area, enemy infiltrators try staged ambushes, targeting passing Ukrainian patrol vehicles, themselves dug into several houses throughout Pokrovsk. Ukrainian responded swiftly by deploying rapid reaction units & bomb enemy & initiating clearance ops to neutralize infiltrators and swiftly deal with sudden threat.

Nevertheless, small enemy groups continued their attempts at infiltration, primarily at night, to secure positions within town perimter til reinforcements arrived. To counteract persistent threats, Ukrainian forces have intensified drone surveillance over infiltration routes, 47th Separate Assault Brigade show footage drone strikes successfully neutralizing enemy infantry near Zvirove. Following this infiltration, enemy appeared poised for direct assault on Pokrovsk, yet their reaction was curiously delayed. Enemy were not ready to exploit sudden break in battle, causing a miss brief window of Ukrainian vulnerability. By then enemy  assembled for a push is deny. Ukrainian had reorganized their defense,& had to start from scratch w/preliminary probing attacks. Enemy attempt involved infantry assault team mounted on motorcycles departing from Shevchenko, a Ukrainian FPV drone operators team detected & eliminated them be4 they could even leave their staging area. But Undeterred, enemy commanders try a mechanized assault, a 1st in mths in this area, again originating near Shevchenko, employing 3 armored vehicles, as artillery & drone teams swiftly responded, obliterating the advancing armor open terrain, exploited their vulnerability without cover, enemy
also desperate enough, move a TOS-1 thermobaric artillery piece toward front line, a powerful enemy artillery system, it suffering from short range of under 4 km, allowing Ukrainians to destroy this powerful Russian asset.

A significant enemy contribute to these disorganized & ineffective attempts lies in Ukraine’s strategic ops targeting, has disrupted enemy logistics & command structures. Ukrainian HIMARS missile strikes systematically target troop concentrations in and around Donetsk city, effectively thinning out Russian frontline manpower long before troops even deploy forward. Such attacks drastically reduce ops readiness & create logistical nightmares, leaving commanders scrambling to find soldiers for assaults. Further deepening Russian disarray, Ukrainian forces soon executed a devastating follow-up precision strike on the headquarters of Russia's 8th Guards Combined Arms Army in Donetsk. As you remember from a previous report, a 1st successful strike took-out only Russia commander,
Now HIMARS missile 2nd strike decapitated another Russian local command killed, a newly appointed commander, along w/more than 10 other high-ranking officers, including his potential successor. Confirmed strikes to cripple Russian command-&-control capabilities, w/new Russian commander
at head of Russia’s important offensive, hasn’t planned any plan, can't not be qualified to lead 100,000 soldiers in a multidirectional offensive spanning from Velyka Novosilka to Pokrovsk. Ukrainian attack targeted command post of enemy of Russia’s 20th Motorized Rifle Division, causing more damage to Russian command structures.

To our biggest news comes from the Baltic region. Here, Nato surveillance flights over Kaliningrad & live-fire drills in Estonia suggest Europe is no longer treating Russian exclave as a passive threat. Instead, Kaliningrad is being studied tracked, its neighbors are quietly preparing for a worst-case scenario.
Recently, Germany’s military counter intelligence service has reported that Russian espionage cases nearly doubled over past year. Moscow’s operatives are using more aggressive cover strategies to enter Europe via 3rd countries like Serbia & Turkey to evade detection. At same time, cyberattacks & political interference campaigns surged across Baltic states. Just last month, Lithuania reported GPS spoofing on commercial aircraft, Estonia flagged co-ordinated hacks on state infrastructure, & Russian-linked groups funded several political rallies in Latvia. These are not isolated provocations; they mirror early warning signs that preceded Russia’s invasions of Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in both 2014 and 2022. Such pattern is familiar, and its central node is Kaliningrad. Nearly every signal-jamming incident, radar incursion, or drone probe in the region traces back to the Russian exclave, making it the catalyst for any new escalation.

Threat not new, its urgency is. Kaliningrad a heavily militarized Russian enclave wedged between Poland & Lithuania, long served as launchpad threats against nato. Home to Baltic Fleet warships, Iskander missile systems, & advanced air defense, it gives Moscow a constant forward presence inside EU territory. During previous standoffs, Russia used Kaliningrad to simulate nuclear strikes, stage snap exercises, and threaten shipping routes in the Baltic Sea. But in recent months also become a nerve center for hybrid ops, coordinating cyber-attacks, transmitting jamming signals, testing nato’s airspace readiness with frequent higher flyovers. In short, Kaliningrad is no longer just a base; it is a battlefield node already in use.

Now Europe is pushing back. Nato awacs surveillance aircraft have begun continuous flights over Poland and the Baltic Sea to monitor Kaliningrad’s military activity, while, Estonia just held its 1st live fire drills using US-supplied himars, part of a six-unit acquisition aimed at boosting long-range strike capabilities. Exercises focused on targeting simulated hardened positions, like fortified bunkers & missile launch pads, the exact type of assets concentrated in Kaliningrad. Poland, which has received dozens of himars systems from the US, is preparing similar capabilities for frontline nato members facing brunt Russian pressure. Drills serve a dual purpose: readiness for counter force missions & a visible deterrence against Kaliningrad’s offensive potential. No official has disclosed, drills interpreted by analysts as a dry run for serious interdiction missions aimed @Russia: detecting, targeting, & disabling missile launch platforms inside the enclave. In parallel, Poland expanded troop deployments near border, &  Lithuania is accelerating work on reinforced border barriers.

If nato actually confront Kaliningrad militarily, a opening move would likely be coordinated cyber & electronic warfare aimed  to blind Russian communications & radar coverage,followed by continuous aerial reconnaissance by awacs & high-altitude drones to confirm positions. Long-range precision strikes would then target key installations: like Iskander launchers, air defense nodes and Baltic Fleet command centers. U.S. Himars batteries in Estonia/Poland could disable fixed missile sites, while German & US aircraft execute follow-on suppression missions. Naval forces would blockade Kaliningrad’s key port at Baltiysk to prevent reinforcement. Meanwhile, Nato ground units, repositioned near Suwalki Gap, tasked w/containing any attempted Russian breakout into Poland or Lithuania. Such a hypothetical scenario, but it is now being actively rehearsed, with each exercise aligning more closely to an actual operational sequence. 
Overall, Kaliningrad threat that Russia spent two decades cultivating may be turning against it. As Europe is no longer threatening the enclave as a static deterrent, it a but, as a live vulnerability that can be tracked, targeted, and potentially neutralized... Tongue

Putin’s nuclear deterrent is collapsing from within: Ukraine has breached Russia’s most advanced submarine - the Knyaz Pozharsky - before it even deployed. Military intelligence now reportedly holds its nuclear launch protocols, sonar signatures, and firing chains. At the same time, Ukrainian drones struck Sochi’s Rosneft-Kuban oil terminal - burning key fuel reserves and grounding 52 flights in Putin's Russia. Hours later, additional drones arrived to Voronezh, Russia damaging fuel depots - & Kremlin has still not commented.

Russia’s skies are no longer secure. Its nuclear infrastructure is leaking secrets. Its military command is improvising flight routes over WhatsApp. Putin sits silently in Moscow as Kyiv Takes the initiative putting Ukraine ahead. This video breaks down what the Western press won’t show: Ukraine is no longer just defending territory - it’s dismantling the Kremlin’s ability to wage war from the inside out.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces’ attack drones have hit a space tracking radar near city of FeodosiaThis is evidenced by recording of abnormal temperatures by NASA Firms service in the area of the radar, which indicates fire damage to the object. The radar complex is used as one of the elements of Russia’s air defense and monitors the airspace, transmitting relevant information to the posts of anti-aircraft missile systems

The four radar antennas are located 300 meters above sea level and are covered with radio-transparent spherical domes to protect them from wind and snow.
Under the domes is the 57U6 ‘Periscope-VM’ radar system, which has been operating at this location since Soviet times. The Periscope-VM system operates in the decimeter wave range with a pulse power of up to 100 kW. The range of detection of a target with an effective reflective surface of 2.5 m² at an altitude of 2000 m above sea level without interference is 200 kilometers, with interference – 100 kilometers.

According to NASA, the fire on the territory of the radar complex started at 02:52. Earlier, Militarnyi reported that in June 2024, a series of explosions had occurred in the temporarily occupied Crimea during the night near several settlements. The long-range space communication center in the village of Vitino, which has the full name of the 40th Separate Command and Measurement Complex as part of the Main Test Space Center named after G.S. Titov of the Russian Aerospace Forces (military unit 81415), was hit. This facility was seized by the Russians during the annexation of Crimea. From the military unit near Yevpatoria, Russians control orbital grouping of their spacecraft. In particular, they provide the GLONASS navigation system and space monitoring.

The long-range space communication center in the village of Vitino, which has the full name of the 40th Separate Command and Measurement Complex as part of the Main Test Space Center named after G.S. Titov of the Russian Aerospace Forces (military unit 81415), was hit. Facility was seized by the Russians during the annexation of Crimea. From the military unit near Yevpatoria, Russians control orbital grouping of their spacecraft. In particular, they provide the GLONASS navigation system and space monitoring.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has released a video and detailed data on the amount of Russian weapons and military equipment destroyed by its Special Group Alpha over a two-week period. This includes tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, air defense systems, electronic warfare systems, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles.

Ukrainian troops are facing and described current realities of drone warfare that NATO armies will inevitably have to confront. 
He shared this during the international Land Euro meeting in Wiesbaden, Germany. According to Robert ‘Madyar’ Brovdi, he currently commands 12 unmanned systems units, which make up only 2% of the entire Ukrainian army. Despite this small number, new branch of military plays a critical role in destroying Russian forces.

Commander outlined 3 key threats from Russian either already pose or could soon pose serious challenges to the Ukrainian Defense Forces.


The 1st threat: Putin is sending more infantry to war we are able to eliminate each month. 2nd: Putin has found a very convenient, cheap effective weapon for terrorizing Ukraine’s civilian population & destroying our infrastructure – it’s called the Shahed. 3rd: everyone who wanted to fight in Ukraine is already fighting, so we’re not counting on manna. Be know what to do, and we’re doing it – based on our own experience, our own blood, with support of our partners,” said Robert Brovdi. When Putin was launching 100 Shahed drones a day, he promised 500, and we didn’t treat it as a serious threat. Today, it’s no laughing matter – we’ve already crossed the threshold of 500 drones per day. 

Our experience will be invaluable for entire rational world, any country could face a similar scenario. I don’t know of a single NATO country capable of defending its cities if faced with 200-300 Shaheds every day, seven days a week. Your national security urgently requires a strategic reassessment,” said Robert ‘Madyar’ Brovdi. He draw a conclusion about it by sharing his impressions from a visit last year to a NATO military base in one European country:

“Without coming closer than 10 km, four crews of Ukrainian drone pilots could have turned that place into another Pearl Harbor in just 15 minutes. I’m not saying this to scare anyone – only to point out that technologies are now so accessible cheap. If they fall into the hands of terrorists, they could destabilize an entire country. That’s why our common struggle is in all of our shared interests,” he concluded.
