Announced on Truth Social that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to stop attacks on each other's energy sites, and later loosened sanctions on Russian diesel imports.

Says Ukrainian air defenses shoot down about 70% of regular drones but only about 57% of jet-powered ones, and that Russia plans to spend $12 billion next year on jet drone and strike drone production.

Says Russia bought a Chinese engine line and scaled it for mass production of cheap jet drones, prioritizing quantity over quality and making them cheaper than cruise missiles or aviation.

“Они выкупили линию китайских двигателей и масштабировали ее. Россия в свое время пиарилась 3D-печатью, но для этого нужны высокотехнологичные порошки. Им оказалось легче строить по китайскому принципу дешевые простые двигатели. Они идут за массовостью, а не качеством. Дорого производить крылатые ракеты или использовать авиацию — легче взять пикап Mitsubishi L-200 или катапульту для запуска” ru

Says intercepting jet drones requires different capabilities and funding because they fly at 10 kilometers altitude and 600 km/h, that Ukraine miscalculated the risk and lacked intelligence, and that no universal countermeasure exists so all resources must be used comprehensively.

“Чтобы сбивать средство, летящее на высоте 10 километров со скоростью 600 км/ч, нужно иметь совсем другие способности и финансирование.” ru

Says the issue is not only the interceptor drone but the target detection and tracking system, and that upgraded detection allows even propeller interceptors to shoot down jet drones at short range.

“Если объяснить это тем, кто не в теме, то это как сравнение со снайперской винтовкой. Пуля — это дрон, ракета или другое кинетическое средство в системе. Но датчики обнаружения и сопровождения — это снайперский прицел этой винтовки. Ты можешь иметь хорошие патроны, но то, насколько точно можешь попасть, очень зависит именно от прицела.” ru

Says Ukraine's Defense Forces already use a new interception technology in combat and Ukraine aims to scale production before the hardest part of winter.

Says destroying a reinforced concrete bridge with a 40-kilogram warhead is technically impossible, and that Russia aims to cause economic terrorism and traffic exhaustion rather than structural collapse; anti-drone nets are more psychological than protective.
