HX-2 has a range of 100-120km and packs a shaped anti-armor charge, making it ideal for mid range strikes vs Russian artillery and armored vehicles. It's Germany's answer to Russia's Lancet drone and has significantly more range.
hmmm on the range part

Line of sight communication from the UAV operators with distance and height because an issue with signals with such ranges. However, that is not an issue if you use satellites to control the UAVs at greater distances.

Another day, more complete savaging of Russian logistics by Ukrainian mid strike drone units. The Ukrainians are absolutely determined to starve the Russian's of supplies along the front lines, with the goal of making this upcoming winter absolute hell for Russians short of water, food, ammunition and fuel.

Meanwhile, Ukraine dropped another video, this one from the SBU, absolutely ahnihilating Russian infantry with drones. Russians bloggers are sending reports of Russian infantry facing 20-70 drones per assaulting infanteer, giving them absolutely not chance of survival as they attempt to advance.

Dozens more Russians die in this video.

how many do you think are even loyal or prideful (whats needed to fight for a country) about the UK other than their history books bashing them for their colonial past?

You might want to update to the current year which is 2026 then 2022.

I don't want to look at images of people being wounded or killed. Please keep warning of such content.

Putin will not allow his troops to withdraw from Crimea, will he? I read that the 2 roads allowing supply to Crimea from the east are now in range of Ukrainian drones and the Kerch bridge has reduced capacity, Are there ferries still operating at the Kerch crossing?

Continuing to occupy Crimea long term is starting to look impractical for Russia, isn't it? A video by Konstantin purports to show many fuel stations closed and long queues at the ones that are open.

To me the metric that counts is how many males of military service age there are in Ukraine. The size of the population as a whole is not of great importance. I know women who left Ukraine after the invasion. Many women and children left Ukraine, reducing the population.

IIRC males over age 18 were prevented from leaving soon after the invasion. Each year those males get closer to age 25 or reach age 25 and qualify for military service.

I can tell you that British are unwilling even to be security guard in Sainsbury's.
Recently I was in Sarajevo and on my way back to London I sat next to " retired" Para colonel. He informed me that those few British reserves are only fit for desk job or garrison duties.
The rest of the forces are almost all specialised teams . In order words , classic infantry is almost none existent.
It of note , to check availability and battle readiness of of RN crews and ships.
Many blame the government and in a sense they are right but what they don't understand is obvious weaknesses in doctrinal thinking of Armed Forces staff.
I am afraid, apart from Air Force, Britain is in very precarious situation.

I'm posting videos of people dying, not people that are already dead. Because that's what war is. Using the latest technology to mechanically and systenmatically kill the opposition. It's not just a bunch of cool / interesting announcements about new tech and military aid packages valued in the hundreds of millions and billions of dollars in support of a cause.

Ukraine has three primary war goals right now.

1). Use an influx of European funding to saturate western Russia and occupied Crimea with long range attack drones, destroying the energy infrastructure that feeds the Russian economy and any industry that supports the war effort.

2). Take advantage of the fact that Russia is substantially behind in fortifying supply and logistics routes by using mid range attack drones to slowly starve Russians at the front of food, water, ammunition and fuel by ensuring that their re-supply convoys never arrive.

3). Most gruesome, but most important. Through financial incentive, Russia has been able to attract 27,000-30,000 new soldiers per month. They need that rate of influx in order to keep up offensive advancement and hold along multiple fronts. Ukraine's drone pilots have been given hundreds of thousands of drones per month and tasked with killing and maiming more Russians each month than Russia can recruit. If they can hunt 1200-1500 invaders per day, Russia loses 36,000-45,000 soldiers per month. That level of attrition deeply diminishes Russia's military experience and ability to embark on and sustain multiple offensives, allowing Ukraine to more easily concentrate it's defensive efforts and not get spread so thin across the vast front.
