Here’s another glimpse into what combat is like on the front lines in Ukraine. To my mind, the main takeaway seems to be that combat already seemed atomized and drone-heavy has become even more atomized and drone-heavy.
“What you’re watching right now is the most lethal weapon on the battlefield of Ukraine. 75% of casualties are produced by this. But because it’s not GoPro footage of the zero line, people don’t want to watch it or learn about it. Well, this is a Mavic 3T.” The Mavic 3T is a commercial-grade Chinese drone with thermal imaging that looks to run in the $6,000—7,000 range, depending on options. And the 75% figure is for both drone attacks and drone-enabled artillery fire.
“We’re watching Ivanivske…That’s right outside of Bakhmut and there’s one road that connects Ivanivske with Bakhmut.”
“So the enemy comes from Bakhmut, and they flood the area with infantry, but it’s slowly by two man teams, and then when they finally amount enough forces over a couple months with enough artillery preparation on a target, they move in to gain the ground.”
“Most of the time though they’re killed on routes and that is our main job as a Mavic pilot, to support the infantry holding the line by attritting the Russian reinforcements making the long trek to the zero line.”
“This is the background behind keeping the front line stable against a much larger adversary.”
“Usually right when they kick it off coming from Bakhmut to Ivanivske along that road, we catch them with flashlights on. We catch them carrying diesel to go and power the jammers, and that’s when we start eliminating them.”
“Most of the time they are killed on route and even run away. But other times they succeed despite tremendous casualties. We’re talking about 50%. Now they like to move during nighttime, mostly, but usually dawn and dusk. That’s when us drone operators switch to a different type of drone or we’re done with our 12-hour shift. So they like to move during that time. And at night time, of course, the drones, like us, can still find them with thermal imaging.”
“One of the problems is that they don’t have night vision equipped the normal infantry, so they struggle to conduct large-scale assaults. And the infantry in Ukraine on both sides are mostly just placekeepers, as a scared man in the way of any assault that might happen. Most of the killing is done by artillery and drones.”
“And if the infantry survives that back and forth bombardment until there’s a squad level at least to make an assault, they can finally move up and take what’s left of the position ahead of them. Oftentimes, those infantry men are there for a month or two, too far forward to safely move back, injured, starving, eating rats, and drinking their own piss, or a large enough force comes in and pushes with you.” Just sounds like a swell life in the Russian army, doesn’t it?
Sometimes the Ukrainian drone operator’s job is basic recon. “It begins with us setting up the drone with a new battery about two km dead reckoning to the area just outside of their jammer zone, which is in the middle of Ivanivske. And then we’ll hold a place to survey one sector of the battlefield as the commander gives us his intent. But other times we’ll have us rozvidka, which means reconnaissance, and we’ll be zooming in on different MSRs [probably Mission Support Request], different buildings that we know that are occupied. We’ll zoom in through roofs. We’ll try and find the enemy actively. But it all depends on the tasking.”
“Most of the night the movement by the Russians is limited to the very front line, the very zero line, or the very rear entering rozvidka. So if the AO [Area of Operations] is clear, we’ll be told to rozvidka, like I said, which will scan for targets rather than have a perfect view of the battlefield with overlapping surveillance, showing the commanders in the talk, the layout of the front line.”
“Once we’re given that rozvidka command, we’ll start testing the waters. We scan from MSR to MSR. We’ll scan areas with that we know that they’re hiding in the buildings and the basements underneath.”
“And we’ll even push up further into the village to see if their jammers are working. And often times, most of the time, they’re not, because they ran out of batteries and gasoline long ago. But other times, the Russians will surprise us by turning on the jammer randomly right when we’re over, even possibly for a movement, or just random, and we’ll get caught in the middle of that jamming bubble, and we’ll lose connections for minutes.”
“Sometimes we’ll lose the drone, it’ll crash into the field to the right of us. Or other times we’ll regain connection two minutes later and we’ll have to find our way back because our battery’s almost dead.”
“But it’s almost always worth the risk to look straight down on the buildings to find movement through the holes in the ceilings. This is a very typical frontline village in Ukraine…Nothing but the steel structures and a couple bricks cemented to them standing.”
“The Russians don’t move out from the basement until a plan is set. A maximum two minute run into some shelter ahead of them is what they’ll do. They’re not going to be doing large assaults two hours in the open. You’re going to die.”
You can’t just bomb every structure due to the cost and logistics. “Large drone teams like the Baba Yagas come over and bomb targets, but it’s mostly done at the very zero line where there’s a lot of action. And whenever that zero line Russian position is eliminated, a couple more from the second line, which we are watching as Mavic pilots, usually come in and replace them to keep the pressure on. It’s all about pressure and momentum. The only way to finish the war is to push. So both sides still need infantry.”
“And also the jammers do work. They they’ll work usually and they can take out very expensive large drones, which are not handed out like candy like a lot of people think.”
“You have to remember: This is one section of the front line out of thousands. And this is one night out of thousands of nights that the Ukrainian war has been going on. We have to have enough equipment and logistics to keep us going the next day. So we can’t be sacrificing everything for a couple kills.”
“So use cheap FVs, sure, but FPV teams are one of the most cumbersome units that you can have on the front line. They need like 10 bags, at least, full of batteries and drones and munitions and their own personal kit and water and food. And most of that stuff is only used once. And if you’re not careful, you can go through half of your supplies of FPVs in a single night when you’re supposed to be out there for five.”
Getting closer to the front lines for higher hit percentage is too dangerous for the drone teams. “We’re we’re 2 km away from the Russians and we survey and bomb them. Now it is separated by 10 km. The Mavic teams are pushed back 6-7 km. FPV teams similar or even 10 km. If you get closer, you’re going to be stuck there for a month or two without drones. So although it might be more effective for your hits, it’s only for a couple days and then you can lose a couple FPV operators along the way.”
“The most lethal weapon on the battlefield [is] a Chinese Mavic drone. Still today, that is the most lethal. FPV teams cannot operate without this Mavic. Artillery cannot operate without a Mavic. We do not use binoculars anymore. We have TRPs [Target Reference Point?] and the surveillance drones seen by the commanders will tell them where the enemy is at the specific moment so they can lob a couple more rounds that way.”
“Or sometimes those Mavic teams are dropping VOGs [probably VOG-17 or VOG-30 grenades] and they’ll they’ll drop one or two at a time and get multiple kills a night, and that adds up very quickly in one single deployment.”
“One of our guys had over 80 confirmed killed or wounded in just that section of the front line alone during one single deployment. And that is one team, one dude who’s the pilot. It’s insane.”
So Russia is sending two man teams in dribbles and dabs to hold positions in the front line, in the process of which getting most of them killed by drones and artillery, so they can gather enough men in one spot to take another building two minutes distance deeper into Ukraine. It seems like a slow motion strategy designed to produce maximum casualties for the most minimal territorial gains possible.

It’s a nice narrative, but do you seriously think Ukrainian casualties are fewer than Russian? At the last body exchange, the Ukrainians gave back a few dozen dead Russians. The Russian gave back a thousand dead Ukrainians. At the exchange several months ago, the Russians were complaining that they had to keep their refrigerator trucks there forever while the Ukrainians procrastinated, likely because they didn’t want to have to acknowledge their dead and pay the pensions. Some day the real numbers on Ukrainian KIA will come out. I’ll take the over on the 7 figure over/under. The rah-rah Ukrainian stories remind me of an old priest I heard talking in high school. He had been a Japanese prisoner of war in WW II. Someone asked him if he had any understanding while a POW that Japan was losing the war. He replied that he and his fellow POW’s did notice that the smashing Japanese victories were getting closer and closer to the home island.
The Mavic 3 series drones have a maximum payload capacity of 130 grams, and carrying this maximum payload dramatically reduces their range and speed. The Mavic 3 series drones weigh 920 grams unladen and have a maximum takeoff weight of 1,050 grams.
Soviet VOG-17 grenades weigh 350 grams, without the AGS-17 cartridge case and propellant. The VOG-30 grenade is slightly heavier and exclusively Russian, having been adopted by the RF in 2013. The Ukrainians are dropping grenades from larger drones, but those larger Ukrainian drones are not equipped with thermal vision and are frequently defeated by Russians armed with Baikal MP-153 shotguns. Twelve gauge, 90mm (3.5 inch) chamber semiautomatic shotguns are now the most sought after personal protection weapons of Russian troops in the FEBA. Russian troops are now training in 5 stand clay target facilities across Russia.
Mavic 3 series drones simply cannot deliver VOG series grenades.
The author also fails to mention the Russians using about 200,000 dirt bikes to move troops and supplies in the FEBA. These motorcycles can be attacked by drones, but are far less vulnerable than larger, slower wheeled/tracked vehicles. The Russians have established several motorcycle training schools and expect to have all their FEBA troops run through motorcycle operation training by the end of the year. Motorcycles are now the primary Russian transport and logistics vehicles in the FEBA.
“It’s fairly clear from context that the Mavic isn’t the drone dropping the grenades.”
“Or sometimes those Mavic teams are dropping VOGs [probably VOG-17 or VOG-30 grenades] and they’ll they’ll drop one or two at a time and get multiple kills a night, and that adds up very quickly in one single deployment.”
The mobiks are “eating rats and drinking their own piss”.
This is a happy symbiotic relationship. The Russians eat rats and when they are killed by Ukranian drones/artillery fire, the rats eat them. It is beyond dispute that piss does not pair well with rat meat but if liberally fortified with cheap vodka, the results would please most Vatniks.
It is Good and Glorious to die for the Motherland with your stomach full of rat meat and piss cocktails.

This is typical of the lies you swallow whole.
The Ukrainians have suffered 300,000 desertions this year alone because they cannot supply their troops. 600,000 or more since the beginning of the conflict. AFU troops are tired, hungry, and thirsty. The Russian forces have a negligible desertion rate, less than 1,000 per year. The Russian command is keenly aware that an army marches on its stomach. Why they are using the dirt bikes and Ladas which you regularly ridicule.
Average Ukrainian citizens are posting the ever shifting, concealed locations of the TCR cannibal offices on Telegram with the fervent hope that Russian forces will drone them. They don’t want their kids fed into the meat grinder. Then the Russians drone cannibal offices and get accused of attacking residential buildings. TCR offices are now insinuated into residential apartment blocks to conceal them from Russian drone attacks.
The foremost use of drones by AFU today is resupplying their troops in the FEBA. Ammunition has the priority, leaving little remaining net weight available for food and water. Hence hunger and desertion haunt the AFU.
In recognition of his faithful service to KGB Colonel Vladimir Putin, Comrade Cartridge will be seated next to Grima Wormtounge at the next cannibal feast given to honor the sacred memory of those who have committed to most war crimes in Ukraine.
“In recognition of his faithful service to KGB Colonel Vladimir Putin, Comrade Cartridge will be seated next to Grima Wormtounge at the next cannibal feast given to honor the sacred memory of those who have committed to most war crimes in Ukraine.”
I live in the real world, not your delusional fantasy land.
“At the last body exchange, the Ukrainians gave back a few dozen dead Russians. The Russian gave back a thousand dead Ukrainians”
This is easily explained. Russians prefer to eat rat meat but when the rodent is in scarce supply they eat their own war dead. The bones are piled up after the cannibal feast to ensure the rats get their fair share and are able to reproduce enough offspring for a future Russian Army food souce.
“Cannibalism was a regular feature at the seige of Stalingrad. No sense in letting nourishing protein go to waste, is there?
Eating rats is preferable, given the alternative.”
канібал [cannibal] is the term Ukrainians use for the evil Territorial Center of Recruitment and Social Support (TCR & SS or just TCR) officers who are body snatching on the streets to deliver the soon to be dead to AFU.
18- to 25-year-olds are currently exempt from mobilization into the Ukrainian army. If the manpower need was so great as to merit their abduction, it would not be before this manpower pool had been tapped.
Russia, by contrast, hoovers up 18-to-30 year-olds. To improve the fitness levels of Russian soldiers, Moscow cops have been snatching fitness buffs during their exercise routines at the local gym and forcibly impressing them into service.
As a man of refined and discriminating taste, would Comrade Cartridge please report back from his next invite to Putin’s table and enlighten us as to which of these two proteins offers the beat flavor and texture?
“DJI Mavic 3 and VOG – a serviceman told and showed how they destroy Russian occupants from the air using consumer quadcopters”
Once again: the Mavic 3 series drones weigh 915 to 920 grams empty. Their maximum takeoff weight is 1,050 grams. The 30x29mm VOG-17 series grenades without cartridge cases or propellant weigh 275 grams (VOG-17M) to 348 grams (VOG-17).
“Russia, by contrast, hoovers up 18-to-30 year-olds. To improve the fitness levels of Russian soldiers, Moscow cops have been snatching fitness buffs during their exercise routines at the local gym and forcibly impressing them into service.”
Russian law prohibits conscripts from serving in the Ukraine theater. Most Russian conscripts are backfilling for volunteers from units within Russia. A substantial minority are being assigned to the huge military factories in the Perm Krai in lieu of actual military service.
According to the U.S. Department of War, 80% of Americans between the ages of 17 to 24 are physically or mentally unfit for military service. The Russian unfit percentage is less than 10%.
Strange that I don’t see a lot of online videos of Russian press gangs kidnapping Uber Eats deliverymen or ordinary schmucks walking their dogs. I guess Russians don’t have cell phones.
‘Ukraine struggles to identify thousands of soldiers’ remains as relatives ache for news’
By Olena Harmash – September 16, 2025
Top bullet points:
“* Body swaps with Russia overwhelm Ukrainian labs”
“* Grim task of identifying the dead can take many months”
“* Thousands of families submit DNA as they search for missing”
“* Piles of body bags a reminder of war’s devastating toll”
Ukraine’s problems extend far beyond the FEBA. From BNE Intellinews, today:
‘COMMENT: Ukraine’s coming financial storm’
By Ben Aris in Berlin – September 16, 2025
“A crisis is drawing ever closer. It will break in Ukraine, but it won’t begin on the frontlines, where the country’s battle-weary brigades continue to impose a brutal cost on the Russian invader. The coming crisis is brewing in the West, where the US pullback and European hesitation now threaten a financial disaster,” Timothy Ash, the senior sovereign strategist at BlueBay Asset Management in London wrote in a note for Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) on September 16.
As bne IntelliNews reported, Ukraine faces the risk of falling off a financial cliff this year. The problem is that the government is short $8bn-$19bn to cover the projected deficit this year. The Finance Ministry has been warning for over a year that it needs more help from its Western allies to pay for the war. It is running a deficit of about $50bn a year and the projected unfunded short fall for 2026 is $37.5bn, but the International Monetary Fund (IMF) team in Kyiv this week for funding talks, said that it thinks Kyiv needs an additional $10bn-$20bn next year: Ukraine spent $97bn in 2025, but is on track to spend $120bn in 2026…..”
I would guess that the Ukrainian government is in no hurry to identify remains. Every dollar paid in pensions for dead soldiers is potentially a dollar diverted from the junta’s foreign bank accounts.
[…] “I believe the claim is that DJI are making a drone a second and they are being used by both sides in Ukraine. The leader being the Mavic 3.” For more information on that, see here. […]
