Ukrainian intelligence has demonstrated the effectiveness of the "Sych" drone. This drone successfully detects and destroys enemy targets.

Points of attention

  • Sych drones are highly effective in detecting and destroying enemy targets, which allows the Ukrainian military to act quickly against the occupiers.
  • Thanks to the strike and reconnaissance capabilities of the Sych drone, Ukrainian soldiers successfully attack ammunition depots, command posts, and other important enemy targets.
  • Ukraine inflicted significant losses on Russian troops thanks to high-precision drone strikes, confirming its technological superiority and readiness to defend its independence.
  • The main units that successfully use kamikaze drones and ensure the impact of many targets are the 46th Airmobile Brigade, the 57th Motorized Infantry Brigade, and others.
  • Ukrainian drones mercilessly attack enemy targets, including oil depots and factories, demonstrating their willingness to defend their borders and fight for freedom from the occupiers.

How the "Sich" drone works

The released footage captures the work of fighters from the Partisan Group 9 of the GUR Department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Thanks to the strike and reconnaissance capabilities of the Sych drone, Ukrainian soldiers quickly detect enemy targets and destroy them.

Objects that destroy "Sychi":

  • ammunition and fuel depots;

  • command posts;

  • places of gathering and residence of the occupiers;

  • communication and surveillance equipment;

  • automotive equipment;

  • electrical substations.

These precision strikes inflict significant losses on Russian troops, confirming the effectiveness of Ukrainian technology in the fight for independence.

Ukrainian Defense Forces Attacked Over 54,000 Russian Targets with Drones in December

According to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, the performance and survivability of Ukrainian drones have increased significantly. The leaders are the UAV regiment under the command of Major Robert Brovdy.

  • More than 54 thousand enemy targets were hit.

  • 49% of targets were destroyed by kamikaze drones.

  • The best results were shown by the unmanned systems units of the 46th Airmobile, 57th Motorized Infantry, 28th Mechanized, 35th Marine Brigade, and 3rd Assault.

By the way, the Ukrainian Defense Forces also bombed ammunition factories using kamikaze drones, fired missiles, and sabotaged Russian railways transporting fuel.

On December 22, dozens of Ukrainian drones attacked an oil depot in Russia's Oryol region, the second major strike on the facility this month. While Russia claimed to have shot down 20 drones, footage on social media showed the Steel Horse storage facility on fire.

Last year, Ukraine damaged factories in Tatarstan, which is located more than 750 miles from the border, and St. Petersburg.

Time will work for Ukraine. Putin may incur Trump's wrath

Putin can outdo himself

The Wall Street Journal points out that US President Donald Trump's plans to end Russia's war against Ukraine as quickly as possible have proven unrealistic. Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky's team is now waiting for the White House leader to lose patience with dictator Vladimir Putin's antics.

Points of attention

  • Former US Ambassador Daniel Fried highlights that time will work in Ukraine's favor if Trump persists in seeking a quick deal while Putin remains an obstacle.
  • The outcome of the conflict hinges on Trump's response if he feels deceived by Putin's maneuvers, potentially escalating tensions between the US and Russia.

Putin can outdo himself

As the editorial board notes, Ukraine's main goal at the moment is to exit the war without capitulating to Russia and at the same time without giving up its economic independence to the United States by signing an agreement on subsoil resources.

As for Putin, he has not given up on his plans: the Kremlin wants to dominate Ukraine at all costs and prevent its integration with the West.

Against this background, official Moscow is doing everything possible to drag out negotiations with the US. Recently, Russia has even begun to claim that it will not accept the US proposal for a ceasefire, since, they say, the "root causes" of the war are not being addressed.

The current situation was commented on by former US Ambassador to Poland and Atlantic Council fellow Daniel Fried.

According to the latter, Zelensky's team is currently in a more advantageous position, as it is not dictating conditions to Trump and is simply waiting for the US president to lose patience with Putin's antics.

"Time will work in Ukraine's favor if Trump continues to push for a quick deal, and Putin (Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, — ed.) will be an obstacle. If Trump decides he has been fooled, he may react badly," the diplomat stressed.
