Vladimir Putin orders a massive fireworks display in celebration of the imminent success of his special policing action to liberate Ukraine.

Excellent. No doubt with intel help. Well that is what you get when you are expansionist during a Democratic non Russian mole presidency. I wish we would help more. Fuck Putin. May there be intel on his location.

It is by will alone I set these drones in motion. It is by the fuel kerosene the weapons acquire speed, the russians acquire earthquakes, the earthquakes become a warning. It is by will alone I set these drones in motion.

Speaking of drones.
Australia, now apparently the IKEA of UAVs, is providing cheap but effective (and even reusable) cardboard drones to Ukraine. Flat packed, like pizza boxes, assembled with tape and rubber-bands, capable of carrying 2.5 kilo payloads (5.5 lbs) and largely invisible to radar, these dirt cheap UAVs are a huge headache for Russia.
They can run interference, collect intel, deliver supplies and ammunition to isolated units, and deliver warheads to both surface and airborne military targets.
Supply drones, equipped with Go-Pros, can do double duty and return fresh intel on SD cards, reducing the risk of identifying the location of front line command and control units.

I don't even like Dune but that was pretty funny.

Russia always seems to blame ukraine drone debris lately, when I saw the explosion above (well it's not new year yet but zelenskyy already wished happy new year in advance by giving big fireworks) I thought long range weapon restriction has been lifted or ukraine has some kind of bunker buster type missile.
I see a lot of comments to stop the war and hold an election on zelenskyy's twitter and instagram posts (I don't know if these are bots or real humans and it is very difficult to measure the signal to noise (SNR) ratio in social media comments), but I understand behind zelensky's persistence to deep strike : that both sides must be equally overwhelmed (not only on one side) and then a stalemate/peace discussion can occur.
It is very hard to recover from the war situation for both countries, hopefully peace can be achieved forthwith.

at this point I hope ukraine can ramp up missile production independently and improve their own weapons manufacturing / research infrastructure, but news of cash shortage continues to emerge.
@Nicker everytime i see 2.5kg payload it reminds me of particular version of Low Altitude Stalking and Strike Ordnance (LASSO) drone
*edit : I don't know if drones with laser communication systems(concentrated laser beam) have been used in the current war , it seems to have its own advantages. Russie has been using fiber optic based drone

All of these talking points about what missile is used in the war, i want to find out more about Rolled Homogenous Armor equivalent (RHAe) and reinforced concrete penetration depth...I've heard RHA but forgot which video game it was mentioned in and I'm no military expert

Not directly related to the main theme of this thread, i think Prisoners Of Geography contains an detailed explanation for the crux of the matter(especially on the russian side). Now i need more source for ukrainians side(the rabbit hole started from euromaiden way back to 2004 events). I need more perspective on this...
Reading daily updates of russo-ukrainian war from ISW(understandingwar.org) is distressing
*edit : I'm still inspired by how to understand issues without bias and the Non-Aligned Movement's conflict resolution

Perun had a video the other day on the topic of ammo depot strikes in Russia which has apparently led to acute (though likely temporary) shell starvation for the Russians:
