that type of cringe editing is a thing for this group, for reasons unknown

that assault is definitely something, but i also remember similar situation that ended up with something closer to 15 dead russians after they were unloaded right in front of trench from two ifvs. in that case one of these vehicles were also hit with antitank weapon

you would have to ask the Touareg militia, but it seems to be Soviet song "Священная война" (Sacred War) basically a second Soviet anthem during WW2. maybe they wanted to put there an Ukrainian war song of some sort as Ukrainians aided them, and there's a photo of some of these militia members and foreign operatives (blurred, but white) with Ukrainian flag. oopsie

isn't that a bit too vertical for it to be a JDAM-ER?

they had only 6 of these, 3 are visible in video. so that means at least 3 worked, or more realistically 3 worked. now 2

i understand that these are mass manufactured 7" drones made from standard components. commercial cloverleaf antenna, motors + blades, frames are sometimes bought and sometimes 3d-printed. battery pack, electronics, and of course payload are custom. there are also drones that use completely nonstandard bands for control and video, this is useful against jammers and if you're printing your own boards, changing bands to something weird takes zero effort

with what looks like bulgarian variant of OG-7V warhead

so it seems, that drone probably isn't even using frequencies that that jammer emits (probably it's against small fpv drones, so we're talking about 2.4ghz, 5ghz wifi bands + 1.6 ghz gps and maybe some others) but also it's fixed wing so it'll just glide to the target on its own

russians regularly launch cruise missiles over caspian sea during combined strikes on targets in ukraine. there's enough range in them and over there, large bombers are safe

this is closest to dogfight that can happen in Ukraine
