Ukraine’s Shift in Military Strategy Prompts Intensified Russian Response

Globalists pocketing billions while poor Ukrainians are dying. Ukraine must wake up and realize they are being used as pawns. The hand that is giving a few million dollars is the same hand burning you, wake up!

33 nations against one and still losing, that tells you the whole story.

More patriots will not help,more money will only be stolen. Ukraine is a bottomless pit, always asking for more. There will never be enough. Please end this war and save lives. Save your country as well.

But Russia had run out of weapons 2 years ago…

But Russia had run out of weapons 2 years ago…

This cursed clown will detroy entire world..he is the curse

Targeting logistical infrastructure is part of the logic of war, but hitting residential areas crosses a red line. The distinction between military targets and civilians must be rigorously upheld.

Russia is set for HISTORIC FAILURE and it's fate is sealed in catastrophe

One can see how Europe has duped the comedian Zelensky and Ukraine; Zelensky is fighting this war solely to cling to power—even with the backing of all of Europe, he cannot win.

The headline of this piece makes me wonder if your editors only started looking at this war in the past week. It's as if there is no memory or knowledge at the DW about the previous 4.5 years. Come on, DW, you're better than that. You used to be, at any rate. Stuff like this has been happening too often this year. Think I'll tell the algorithm to stop recommending you.

one killed. How it can Be major attack. Lie

More bombs to follow ….Russia got thousands

WoW the young are asking for success ????? TO WHAT !!! …….

so basically same old as what russia has been doing then. just bombing civilians

Russians must just remove their evil leader. Give Ukraine it’s freedom🙏

yesterday 9 russians died , why doesn't germany help russia with air defense to protect civialians , biased media

Is zelenskey winning???😂😂😂

NATO must give more weapons to Ukraine, more destructive, more lethal ✌🇺🇦

Stop funding Ukraine, and the war will end

Comedian zelensky is dead ☠️💀☠️☠️😜😜😜😜

🇺🇦Ukraine lost everything 😂😂😂

Go Russia 🇷🇺🇷🇺💪💪

NATO is loosing against 🇷🇺🇷🇺Russia 😂😂😂😂

Do Drones Really Narrow the Military Gap Between Big and Small Countries?

A lot of people have this misconception these days that drones have handed a cheap advantage to smaller nations, letting them punch above their weight against major powers—just look at Ukraine, or Yemen, where the Houthis are practically relying on these things to fight their wars. It seems to fit the current geopolitical narrative, but it’s completely backwards. Drones were never a gift to small nations; they are fundamentally high-tech spillover from the industrial behemoths. When you see smaller countries happily blowing things up with drones on the news, it boils down to two simple reasons: First, the manufacturing giant in the East hasn't completely choked off the outflow of critical drone components. Second, the high-tech powerhouse in the West hasn't entirely sealed the tap on the chips that go inside them. If those two heavyweights actually got serious and pulled the plug at the same time, drone warfare would instantly revert to the Stone Age.

Let’s bust the most common myth first. People see drones selling for a few thousand bucks online and assume they’re cheap junk. That is dead wrong. Drones are precision instruments cobbled together from the crown jewels of modern industry—a true marvel of high-tech engineering. The only reason you can buy a DJI or a similar drone for pennies isn't because it’s cheap to make, but because an Eastern powerhouse’s industrial miracle, technological explosion, and terrifying economies of scale have driven the unit cost down. It’s like buying a bottle of water for two bucks: sure, it’s cheap, but try having a country with zero industrial base manufacture the plastic bottle and purify the water from scratch—the price would multiply tenfold. Take those fiber-optic drones making waves on the Russia-Ukraine frontlines. Why can they fly? Because they drag a fiber-optic cable several kilometers long behind them. That cable looks thin, but the barrier to making it is sky-high. The only reason it can be consumed on such a massive scale in war is that the Eastern powerhouse has the largest fiber-optic production capacity on the planet. Why? Because they’ve mastered the entire supply chain from raw materials to finished products, backed by the massive domestic demand of over a billion people, creating a behemoth of an industry. It’s only because they have surplus capacity that it spills over to the battlefield in Ukraine. If Ukraine or Russia had to build fiber-optic production from scratch, it would be pure fantasy. The absolute choke point of fiber optics is the preform. How do you make that? It requires extreme chemical purification tech and precision machining. A country the size of Ukraine couldn’t digest it even if you handed them the blueprints. Even if a benevolent superpower handed over the whole tech package for free, just building a proper fiber-optic plant and maintaining it would burn through tens of billions of dollars. With a small country's entire GDP, that one plant would bankrupt them, not to mention the daily cash burn to keep it running. Is that realistic? And that’s just for one single cable.

And that’s just the cable. Look inside the drone’s belly. First, the brain: the chips. Without chips, a modern drone is just a paperweight. Where do chips come from? A whole ecosystem of semiconductor equipment like lithography and etching machines, plus ultra-high-purity specialty gases and photoresists. You can’t even dream of building a fab without dropping tens or hundreds of billions. A small country can’t even keep the lights on, let alone fab chips—forget about it. Then there’s the propulsion system. The motors need high-performance permanent magnets, which rely on rare earths. Separating, purifying, and smelting rare earths is another incredibly cash-burning supply chain. The airframe? High-strength engineering plastics, which are backed by a massive petrochemical industry. And the batteries? Whether lithium or other storage, it involves organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and electrochemistry. Which of these isn't a hundred-billion-dollar industrial investment? Asking a small country with a few million people and an industrial base barely thicker than a blank sheet of paper to master this entire process—from mining and smelting to chemicals and precision manufacturing—is like asking an elementary schooler to build a space shuttle.

Don't forget, for a drone to fly far and hit accurately, it’s heavily dependent on satellite navigation. How many truly global navigation systems are there in the world today? You can count them on one hand: just GPS and BeiDou. The others, like Galileo or GLONASS, are either half-dead or lack full coverage. Asking a small country to build its own global satellite navigation system means launching how many satellites and building how many ground stations? That’s a trillion-dollar investment and decades of tech accumulation. Small countries can’t even figure out how to launch a basic rocket, let alone build a nav system.

So the brutal truth is, drones haven't narrowed the military gap between big and small countries at all; they’ve actually dug the chasm deeper. In the old days of bayonet charges, the gap between a big and small country might have been 1 to 50. Now, in the information age of drones, if you cut the supply chain, that gap widens to 1 to 10,000 or even more. The only reason small countries are pulling off these drone miracles right now is because their opponents aren't true top-tier industrial powers. If they actually went up against an Eastern powerhouse that’s both an infrastructure juggernaut and an industrial behemoth, and a total embargo was triggered, they wouldn't even be able to repair their drones, let alone build them. The modern battlefield is just a mirage built on the sandy foundation of globalized supply chains. Once the tide goes out, you’ll see exactly who’s been swimming naked. The idea that drones level the playing field is nothing but an illusion, born from the fact that the major powers just haven't stepped into the ring and gone all out yet.

Foolish Ukraine president zelensky.finally Ukraine destroy

Set fire tu huge forests of Russia AFTER warning them tu stop immediately attacking innocent people. Of course start by setting wildfires near Moscow and St Petersburg

Poor Ukraine, it has become a proxy for the West

*This war is not a Ukrainian war*. It was imposed on them by blood thirsty leaders in NATO and Europe. NATO is the greatest security threat to global peace. Europe is run by dictators and election riggers, war mongers profiting from the Military Weapons Industry. That is why they don't want the NATO war against Russia in Ukraine to end. These autocrats like Macron Merz, Stermer, the Baltic Chihuahuas, blood sucking peace blocker, Boris Johnson and other dictators and care nothing about the hardship European citizens are going through due to their misguided sanctions against Russia It is time to rise up and tell them "enough is enough" Ukrainians should refuse to he deceived

As western European, I wish Ukraine to join EU already today!

While it may be true that Ukraine has many steps to go to become fully ready for joining the EU, the mere fact that Ukraine and the Ukrainian people are willing to give their everything to defend all of Europe, nough said!

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙌 👏 💪 😎 ♥️ 🇺🇦
May GOD safe and bless you 🙏 🙌 ✨️ ❤️ ♥️ 💖 🙏

Atleast now Russia is responding to Ukraine escalation… completely justified and obviously Russia will expand the retaliations

"UKraine's strategy to bring the war to Russia's doorstep". So they are not interested in making peace but are hellbent on destroying Russia. Good luck, folks, you'll make it!

Zelensky escalates… Russia retaliates.. Zelensky sheds crocodile tears …rakes in billions and repeats the cycle

God bless Russia,,,,,, Glory to Russia in jesus mighty names Amen, ,,,, salam Aleikum,,,, wa Aleikum salam;;;;!!

I like how DW is advocating for lethal drone attacks on retail warehouses in Russia, using Zelensky's claims there was some military stuff – as if the Russian army makes its orders online. Meanwhile, DW videos of wounded civilians in Kiev make us believe Russia has definitely done something bad. A one-sided report.

Western media will keep reporting that Ukraine is winning and politicians funding a war that is impossible for Ukraine to win . Where is common sense … 😮😮😮 . Zelensky must look for peace. NATO and EU cannot save him.
There is no pathway for a Russian defeat , rather Ukranian ruin and defeat.

Zelenski loves DW. Lifts his mood up.
