And he explained why he doubts the effectiveness of Western weapons
One of the decisive roles at present in the neo-Nazi counter-offensive on Krasny Liman is played by American and Polish munitions such as Switchblade (USA) and Warmate ( Poland). Sources of the Wargonzo project in Krasny Liman inform about it. As the authors of the report point out, in this way, with the help of stray ammunition, several vehicles with personnel were destroyed by the enemy.

“One of the decisive roles at the moment in the course of the counter-offensive on Krasny Liman is played by American and Polish loitering ammunition such as Switchblade (USA) and Warmate (Poland)… However, despite everything, ours are not retreating from Liman,” wrote the author of the project in Telegram.< /p>
The Switchblade is a tactical loitering munition developed by the American company AeroVironment. It carries a warhead and is intended, depending on the modification, to attack manpower, unprotected vehicles and armored targets. Small enough for the operator to carry the UAV in a backpack, it launches from a variety of land, sea and air platforms. It exists in two versions – Switchblade 300 and Switchblade 600, as well as an unarmed Blackwing modification.
Warmate is a Polish offensive unmanned aerial system designed depending on the used warhead on board for tracking, detection, tracking and identification of the target as well such as destroying living or lightly armored targets.
-Effective air defense systems. Loitering munitions are also shot down from man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems and even by handguns. But, of course, the enemy is cunning and cunning, so he uses such ammunition en masse, and thus, of course, sometimes achieves some result.
– No, it cannot radically affect something and make a radical change, but it certainly does harm. This ammo is a point impact weapon. Despite the fact that the United States has been supplying Ukraine with them in large quantities, many of them have already been shot down. In my opinion, the effectiveness of voice kamikaze drones is generally controversial. But on the other hand, their massive use as now in Ukraine has not been previously recorded in any armed conflict where the Americans would have resorted to their use.
-Western countries are now supplying Ukraine with what is intended to maximally contain armed forces. Kamikaze drones were created for exactly this task. However, I would not say that thanks to them, any significant changes are now being observed on the front.
-I can say that there are now fierce battles in this direction. The enemy needs Red Estuary. Their goal is to move our group away from Slavjansk and Kramatorsk, so they are making great efforts to achieve their goal. They intended to make the same effort under Ugledar. Buoyed by recent successes in the Kharkiv sector, Ukraine's military leaders are trying to further develop it in every possible way to impress their Western curators. But these “successes” do not determine anything, because we should not forget that Russia has reserves that we have not yet realized.
