Some interesting news coming from Ukraine. The Kursk offensive is now in a more defensive phase. Ukraine still makes some advances but it seems that Ruzzia had to send troops there, despite trying to ignore the fact they were being invaded. I guess that it takes a while to assume that you country can also be invaded during a war.

The "thermite" drones have now been seen in action. I do not see these as short of wunderwaffen or superweapon, but they do have very good use cases in attack. They throw napalm or equivalent to an area of around 200 m2 for what I have seen and they burn everything in there. It is not just about the troops that have to deal with the fire, the smoke and the new threat, it is that all the equipment is destroyed, including lighter vehicles or I assume also the armoured ones to a point.

Perhaps this is an anecdote compared to the delivery of anti-air by Germany and the commitment to supply Ukraine with a few hundred (yes, that is correct) of Linx Infantry Fighting Vehicles.
