The video was filmed in a forest belt near the village of Maryivka, in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine. The RBK-500 bomb struck positions of the 42nd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Note the continuous destruction zone; the RBK-500 bomb detonates, creating a cloud of 154,000 steel balls.

Russian designers, in response to requests from military personnel, have developed the "Prizrak" interceptor drone. The interceptor drone was created as part of the "Prizrak" project. A unique feature of the interceptor drone is that it can be launched not only from a catapult but also by hand. The performance characteristics of the "Prizrak" interceptor drone have not yet been disclosed; however, it is known that the drone is modular. This architecture makes the drone extremely versatile. Operators can flexibly modify the drone's configuration to suit specific missions, installing the necessary warheads and swapping out batteries and cameras. The interceptor drone pursues its target automatically and is ready for operation at any time of day. Equipped with thermal imagers and night vision devices, the "Prizrak" interceptor drone is capable of effectively performing missions even in poor weather. When technical details become available, they will be added to the video description.

Looks like things may be changing in the ground war.

Ukraine has devastated Russia’s oil export capacity over the past week as its ground forces have stopped Russian advances in their tracks and reclaimed occupied territory.

According to one estimate, Ukraine has halved the Russian rate of advance in the past three months.

Ukraine slows enemy advances, liberates land, drains Russia’s war chest

Ukraine achieves significant victories on the battlefield thanks to burgeoning drone production.

I believe Russia was storing 100 million or more barrels of unsold crude on tankers when the Iran war started, which should be easily sold now for a high price. Once that crude is delivered, tankers will take time to get back to Russia. When they do, Russia may have a significantly lower capacity to load crude from its terminals, so revenue from exports may fall greatly after a bumper month or two.
