The newfound targeting of Russian supply lines by Ukrainian forces owes largely to the proliferation of midrange strike drones, including the US-supplied ‘ Hornet’ system, which have substantially disrupted logistical routes toward the frontline.
Be on the lookout for @DylanBurns1776’s upcoming coverage of Ukrainian forces using these drones on the front.
Today, the US government announced it is expending multiple high-value standoff munitions in response to yesterday’s downing of its $40 million Apache airframe with a low-cost Iranian drone.
This is the asymmetric future of modern warfare.

Due to security risks associated with embedding on the front (and in particular response to emerging drone threats), photography/videography is often heavily limited. In his downtime, instead of B-reel, Dylan Burns took various cat videos which are provided here free of charge.
"I want to send a message to the people that like to sit at home and say that the Russians are ‘idiots, orcs, pigs, pig dogs’, and whatever else they call them. It’s not like that at all. They’re also people, and they’re also learning. They just need to make a few more mistakes."

New: @DylanBurns1776 interviews 'Flint', an infantry platoon commander with the 100th Separate Mechanized Brigade, as they hold the front against Russian forces on the Kostyantynivka axis. offbeatresearch.com/2026/05/the-10…
@marcnelsonart “Why was the world able to drop humanitarian supplies into Gaza, but not into El Fasher?”, Abbas asked before he disappeared. “Why is nobody saving us?”

This week, Ukraine recalled Israel’s ambassador to discuss multiple grain shipments which were stolen by Russian forces and ported in Haifa — but this alliance is far from new.

Mohamed Khamis Duda, the official spokesman of Zamzam camp who was also disappeared after the RSF's takeover of El Fasher, explained the difficulty of living life amid constant siege.
“At night we’re afraid to turn on our phones or even light a cigarette, because we fear the drones might spot the light. People try to leave their homes as little as they can. Some have even buried their loved ones inside their homes, as the risk of being hit by shelling or drones when going outside is just too great.”
"This is what a genocide looks like."
@ThomasVLinge (with art by @Marcnelsonart) profiled residents of Sudan's El Fasher amid the city's fall. They told of life under relentless siege while living through famine and brutal atrocity; now they're missing, captured, or dead.

Pictures from my many interviews with Ukranian armored crews out in the field. Including what Ukraine could roll out of storage, western supplied gear, and even captured Russian tanks. Will be publishing a series of these interviews with @OffbeatResearch eventually.
I've embedded with and interviewed quite a few Ukrainian armored crews. T-64s, T-72s, captured Russian T-80s, German Leppard 2s, BMPs, German Marder Infantry Fighting Vehicles, and western MWRAPs. 🧵 1/7
As the Iran war exposes gaps in the defensibility of military infrastructure, a $16 million Russian helicopter’s downing by a small Ukrainian FPV drone showcases the sheer cost disparity of modern warfighting.
@PatrickHilsman and @CommanderNizar report: offbeatresearch.com/2026/03/a-ukra…
The strike, comprising a ~$1,000 asset versus a ~$16,000,000 asset, showcases the future of modern warfare as traditional ordnance and infrastructure comes under increasingly challenging threat.
