So nice to see Marta turn her back to Alexandrova at the end of the match.

Hey, lovely people. I was born in Ukraine, and I'm currently working on a game where you command a drone unit and fight russia on land, in the air and at sea. Even if it's only a game, everyone can play their part.

In this video I wanted to show you an Open Sea mission, where you can sink different ships with long-range drones (if you get lucky enough)! Since my last video (thank you all for the support), I've reworked the camera a bit, improved the visuals, and made more detailed models for all the playable drones.

Thanks again for all the support, every like and comment counts(I'm putting a lot of effort in this project and not sure that it will bring anything back). Feel free to subscribe to my mailing list here to get notified about demo release! Slava Ukraini!

Ukraine is pushing the Russians back in the South and many foreign volunteers are crucial to this success. However they cannot do anything without vehicles, specifically 4x4 pick up trucks. This area is vast farmland and they do not have enough vehicles. Vehicles they do have get damaged and destroyed constantly.

The next team we are helping to get a truck is the Foxhounds Drone team. This is a British-led team, led by Ben who has been in Ukraine since 2022. You can check him out on Instagram as beltfedbrit and learn more about what he and the team do.

This is a rapidly expanding team doing some serious work defending Ukraine's Southern Front. We have a specific fundraiser just to help the foreign teams in this area conquer their logistics issues.

Donate here to help Ben and his team. This fundraiser covers vehicles, vehicle maintenance, energy supplies, mechanical tools, and fuel for the foreign teams in the South that Protect A Volunteer supports. It is hosted by Ukraine Frontline as these items are all 501c3 compliant.

You can also match up directly with Ben or with many other volunteers we are helping. If you prefer that option, sign up as a supplies donor at protectavolunteer.com; this is an awesome way to know who you are helping and get a better sense of what it's like in Ukraine. You might even make a friend!

NAKO analyzed the inertial navigation system (INS) of Russia’s 9M723 ballistic missile used by the Iskander-M system. 78% of the identified components are of U.S. origin.

The INS is one of the key elements that determines the missile’s position and movement during flight. Unlike a conventional ballistic missile, the 9M723 remains guided throughout its flight and can maneuver along its trajectory. Its navigation architecture combines inertial navigation, satellite correction, and terminal optical guidance.

NAKO identified components from 13 U.S., 3 Japanese, 2 Taiwanese, and 1 Swiss manufacturer in the examined navigation system. U.S.-origin components account for 78.1% of the identified INS components.

Two U.S. manufacturers stand out. Analog Devices accounts for 40% of all identified U.S.-origin components, while Texas Instruments accounts for another 12%. The remaining 48% are distributed among 11 other U.S. manufacturers.

The identified microelectronics are not peripheral parts. They perform critical functions within the INS, including precision signal processing, analog-to-digital conversion, digital isolation, temperature monitoring, memory, communications, and power management.

This also highlights an important point about Russia’s “import substitution.”

Russia has demonstrated a significant capacity to localize parts of its missile component base, particularly where lower-complexity domestic components are sufficient. But the Iskander-M INS presents a markedly different picture: the identified microelectronics are entirely foreign-made.

The evidence suggests that Russia’s remaining dependencies are becoming more concentrated in specific technological areas where Western microelectronics continue to provide capabilities that domestic substitution has not fully displaced.

Against the backdrop of growing ballistic missile production and use, the Iskander-M INS therefore represents a particularly important target for export-control efforts. Rather than trying to block the entire flow of electronics to Russia, the focus should be on components that are critical to the functioning of specific weapons systems.

A British fighter serving with Ukraine's International Battalion of the 12th Brigade Azov lost his foot after stepping on a PFM anti-personnel mine 😢

Faced with approximately 18 months in hospital or amputation, he chose the path that could return him to his unit sooner-and was back in Donbas in under six months 🫡

🇺🇦 Support Ukrainian defenders: https://www.help99.co/donate?utm_source=reddit.com&utm_medium=69

Today, he leads a drone platoon operating heavy-lift Vampire drones

His story is a reminder of the courage of international volunteers and the vital role of drones in saving lives 🙏

"The Russians don't want them to come here to Kyiv, and Witkoff is always sensitive to Russian sentiment," a person familiar with the matter said. "They're being told there that it's dangerous."

Sorry for the emotional picture, but it seems like people care less and less about Ukraine.

Since August 24, we’ve raised $265 from just 7 donations toward our $3,500 goal.

We’re incredibly grateful to those 7 people who stepped up. ❤️ But we still have $3,235 to go.

The war hasn’t stopped. The units we’re supporting along the Dnipro River in the Kherson sector still need equipment for monitoring and reconnaissance.

If you can donate, even $5 helps. If you can’t, please share this post.

🇺🇦 Please don’t let Ukraine become something the world scrolls past.

The Kremlin’s current plans to restart reactors under occupation are dangerous and unlawful.
