Overview
- Ibrahim Naber recounted being struck on October 13 by a Russian Lancet about 30 kilometers behind the line, where a Ukrainian soldier was killed and others were badly wounded as he sustained minor injuries.
- Ukraine’s president recently said Russia is now launching almost 1,200 combat drones and more than 50 missiles in a single week.
- Naber reported that Russia has taken roughly 2,500 square kilometers in the past five to six months and that a 15–20 kilometer “death zone” near the front is saturated with low‑cost kamikaze drones.
- He argued Germany lacks the defenses to repel large waves of long‑range drones and criticized a shortfall in modern drone capabilities, saying even a showcase brigade in Lithuania would struggle on today’s battlefield.
- He cited Russian gains in electronic warfare and tethered fiber‑guided drones, while journalist Florian Flade pointed to intensive undersea mapping efforts that could challenge Western defenses.
