US military said, transfer was made on April 4, the latest military assistance that US President Joe Biden’s administration has provided to Kyiv.

Democrat Biden has been blocked from providing further US weaponry to Kyiv by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson’s refusal to call a vote on $60bn in new security aid. With Ukrainian forces running low on munitions, especially heavy artillery rounds, Washington & allies have been searching for new ways to arm Kyiv.

As Zelenskyy warns Russia has penetrated US local politics. He
then invites Trump to Ukraine In an exclusive interview, the president of Ukraine talks about his outreach to Trump, he (Trump) stalled by not going to Ukraine and Russia’s happily growing his influence in local U.S. Politics.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine warned in an interview that Russian influence had pierced the American political system and rejected the idea, backed by allies of Donald Trump, that Ukraine could swiftly end the war just by making massive territorial concessions.

But Zelenskyy said Tuesday that he had privately urged Trump through intermediaries to travel to Ukraine and that Trump had expressed interest but had not yet committed to making a trip. Zelenskyy said he was open to hearing Trump’s proposals for the war, while making clear he was highly skeptical.

If the deal is dead. We just have to give up our territories, that’s the idea behind then it’s a very primitive idea,” Zelenskyy said in an interview with Axel Springer media outlets. POLITICO.

Zelenskyy continued: “I (he) need very strong arguments, a fantastic idea, a real idea, b'cod people’s lives are at stake.”

Superfast drone fitted with new 'rotating detonation rocket engine' approaches the speed of sound. Engineers have successfully flown a drone at near-supersonic speeds thanks to a new type of engine that burns like a rocket could one day lead to hypersonic Mach 9 commercial flights.

The drone, which resembled a rocket, flew 10 miles (16 km) at Mach 0.9 — over 680 miles per hour — using 80% of the engine's available thrust. This image is purely illustrative. Venus Aerospace has completed the inaugural test flight of a drone fitted with its "rotating detonation rocket engine" (RDRE) — accelerating it to just under the speed of sound. Company wants to one day build superfast commercial jets using this new type of engine.

Test flight, conducted Feb. 24, the company flew the drone, which is 8 feet (2.4 meters) long and weighs 300 pounds (136 kilograms) to an altitude of 12,000 ft (3658 m) by an Aero L-29 Delfín plane, before it was deployed and the RDRE was activated, company representatives said in a statement.


The drone flew 10 miles (16 km) at Mach 0.9 — over 680 miles per hour — using 80% of the RDRE’s available thrust. The successful flight proved the viability of RDRE and the associated onboard flight systems. Three weeks earlier, Venus Aerospace demonstrated the viability of its RDRE technology with a long-duration test burn — during which engineers showed their engine worked for the duration of this test flight.

The RDRE technology is 15% more efficient than conventional rocket engines, Venus Aerospace representatives said in a statement. As a result, an RDRE-propelled craft could theoretically travel farther on the same amount of fuel as conventional engines that combust fuel at constant pressure. Some have also theorized it could be as much as  25% more efficient than current technologies.


The successful test flight raises odds of commercially viable supersonic flight. One of the long-term goals for Venus Aerospace is develop a commercial supersonic aircraft could travel at Mach 9 (over 6,800 mph) (11,000 km/h)

Inside Ukraine's wrecked power plants amid unprecedented Russian attacks: Reporter's notebook. CEO of energy provider DTEK says attacks should be "a wake-up call" to allies.

KYIV, Ukraine -- Ukraine's largest private energy provider said it fears that "ruthless" missile and drone assaults by the Russian military will continue on the country's power plants.

The country is now racing to repair some of the widespread damage to several facilities after Moscow carried out a series of unprecedented attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in recent weeks.

Russia destroyed 80% of Ukraine's thermal power plants in those attacks, according to Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, in an interview with Estonian broadcaster ERR.

Throughout the past year, the Russian military had largely given up its attacks on Ukrainian power plants, in favor of trying to target Ukraine's growing domestic arms production and other more valuable military sites. Now, Moscow has reverted to tactic to cripple Ukraine's energy grid, which is vital for the country's economy.

In wake of successful Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries in Russia this year, this is ready not enough to hurt Kremlin in their launched vicious campaign on Ukraine's critical infrastructure. 

Look like the Ukrainian drone will go follow Kremlin way again, going to follow their way to cripple Russia energy power grid, which is vital for the Russia's country's economy.

In a dynamically evolving techno-tactical contest, Russia and Ukraine introduced newer systems to beat each other’s advantages in attack/kamikaze drones and electronic warfare (EW).

While Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) now have drones with AI to beat Russia’s superior EW systems, Moscow has claimed to have developed an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is resistant to all types of EW jamming.

Drones have characterized the 26-month war, where cheap, mass-produced, commercial-use remotely piloted aircraft have been repurposed for military applications, ranging from simple aerial surveillance, reconnaissance, artillery fire correction, and attack roles by being strapped with explosives.

A new, cutting-edge Ukrainian attack drone was demonstrated to President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday, April 13, during a ceremony honoring an employee of the military-industrial complex.

This drone, specific name remains classified, is said to be capable of accurately striking targets located more than 100 kilometers away. Militarnyi media, said drone has already been deployed against Russian forces & proven its effectiveness by successfully neutralizing a 2K22 Tunguska tracked self-propelled surface-to-air gun and missile system and other targets.

DRONES AIR DEFENSES EXPLAINED: 
Ukraine Unveils New Cutting-Edge Attack Drone With 100 Kilometer+ Range. RAM X, has capability to strike targets with a 3-kilogram warhead more than 100 kilometers away with precision.

A new, cutting-edge Ukrainian attack drone was demonstrated to President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday, April 13, during a ceremony honoring an employee of the military-industrial complex.

According to Militarnyi features of the drone are summarized below:

This new Ukrainian drone is designed to mirror the capabilities of the Russian Lancet by delivering precise strikes on enemy targets. It engage both ground and aerial targets with its relative high speed powerful warhead, making it a valuable military asset. 

Design Maneuverability: Featuring X-shaped body and control surfaces, drone boasts exceptional maneuverability, allowing it to effectively target both static and moving objects from a variety of trajectories and angles.

Warhead Options: Depending on the mission requirements, drone can equipped with different types of warheads, including high explosive fragmentation, thermobaric, or armor-piercing variants. Armor-piercing warhead can penetrate up to 40 mm of armor, thereby inflicting significant damage to most existing enemy equipment.

WATCH: HUR Special Forces On Sunday, April 14, the day celebrated as Russian Air Defense Forces Day, HUR fighters struck one of Moscow’s “Strela-10” anti-aircraft missile system

Target Engagement: With a maximum speed of 180 kph, the drone is capable of engaging targets moving slower than 130 kph. This includes enemy drones such as the Russian Orlan-10, Zala, and Lancets, as well as approaching helicopters.

Repeater Drone Integration: A crucial component of the drone’s capability is the ability to partner it with a repeater drone, which assists in target acquisition, tracking, and post-strike assessment. The integration enables effective coordination and extends its operational range
