Frontline situation
According to The New York Times, Russia's monthly losses exceed 30,000 personnel, with Russia suffering eight casualties for every Ukrainian casualty. After reaching combat positions, a new Russian army recruit may survive for only 20 to 35 minutes. The main reason is drones.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian defense technology company BlueBird Tech has unveiled an upgraded version of its Chuyka drone detector, adding the ability to display intercepted video feeds from enemy FPV drones on large external monitors.
