So who is winning? It looks like a stalemate because the war is still raging. How long is this war will continue? When will it end?
I don’t kamikaze drone is fair to the Japanese, they are Iranian drones and should be referred to as such.

They are not bombing Ukraine for nothing can't you see they are knocking out communications and power so civilians cant help tip the government off. Belarus is going to attack with Russia before new shipment of weapons arrive. I'm here to let you guys know that Belarus will get attacked from Nato and here comes WW3. So say thanks to India and China buying oil from Russia to fuel this war. They will be affected heavily from the nuclear fall out.
Any reasonable person would rightfully fear even a limited nuclear exchange, but we need to keep in mind and account for in our plans to bring about a peaceful end to Russia's genocidal war with Ukraine – that it is a near certainty that Russia's nuclear missiles are almost entirely non-functional. But why??
Here's why: Russia's war with Ukraine has humiliatingly demonstrated to the world that Russia's conventional weapons are embarrassingly old, poorly maintained and mostly nonexistent. See old Vlad and his cronies weren't the only leaders to be embezzling funds from the military budget – so was virtually EVERYONE else in authority in the command chain.
While literally everyone was pocketing their share that they could themselves get their hands on, there was no budget left for years for not only the procurement of new weapons, ammunition and supplies – but for their maintenance as well. That is proven by multitude of reports of ammunition shortages, so much so that Russia has arranged to buy back ancient (post WWII) ammunition from North Korea that they had sold to them almost 50 years ago. Also is that their naval flagship, the pride of their Navy, was so easily lost in a short battle just a few months ago. And most recently, that they secured drones from IRAN to hit residential areas in Ukraine as punishment for the bridge attack. With this reality, it is a virtual certainty that their nuclear arsenal is overwhelmingly nonfunctional due to neglect by theft of maintenance funds.
Think about it, the theft of these funds by widespread corruption would make the most sense. The widespread neglect and theft would be (and has been) most noticable for their most basic supplies and munitions. Who would really notice that the funds for their nuclear missile systems have been misappropriated? It would only come to light if the order was given to mobilize and launch about the theft – and in that scenario, other things are far more serious than trying to figure out and arrest those responsible. Also they would be the literally the last weapons to be used in a war. Instead they are far, far more useful as scary props and decorations by Vlad. To which he has threatened to use over, and over, and over. He knows that all he has is the threat and fear – but that's all. He will certainly go down in history as being the biggest crybaby to have ever led a nation.

👍👍🇷🇺
Finish blowing up that bridge Ukraine!
if they can intervene the DRONES with RTH (Return to Home) function, the cheap DRONES will come back to the launching pad and blow it, BIG surprise for PUTIN. Tweak the DRONES' GPS or find the mobile REPEATER (should be very close to the targets)!!
iran should be held for their actions.iran is a terrorist country anyways
Why aren't we giving them C-RAM systems? A 3000 rounds per minute gatling gun would tear right through those things. They were made for this kind of attack.
“ a wave of drone attacks …kills 4 people”….im glad it wasnt more but i dont think those are meant to be effective if thats all the damage a wave if them does.
Yes I know drones are expensive however doesn't '75 the U.S. and it's allies have the technological capabilities to find Russian troops in real time live in all areas . Why then canf they send a swarm of drones over all Russain locations
How long will Putin live to sow pain and hunger for the Ukrainian people? Ukraine does not like communism Putin forces people to live with him? If Putin does not withdraw his troops to live properly, Putin will die without time to yawn
The band Jesus Jones, so many years ago, was way ahead of their time. Putin wants to reverse history. Rebuild a bigger, stronger Russian Empire. Seems no end is in sight. Good luck to draft dodgers!
Maybe they shouldn't have violated treaties
So, in other words, Iranian drones are much better.
Very scary. Pray for the civilians of Ukraine.
Gush, Ukrainians are extremely good at downing Russian kamikaze drones using their weapons depots and power plants.😂😂😂 Condolences to the big family of these kamikaze drones that lost their lives fighting Ukrainian Nazism.
air defenses aint gonna do it. cheerleaders brought on more deaths.

In civilian population, ladies and gentlemen the second best army in the world.
Thanks science!
Moscow is a viable military target for Ukraine
I saw one of these Iranians!! 😂”drones”
They don't carry much explosive power.
-News Guy
Meanwhile giant explosions being shown in the video. I am confusion.
Russia is acting like the terror group Hamas
A war cooked up by The Rich who already own Russia and Ukraine, tbh basically the world , most likely reason to validate the continous prices hikes
Looks like years Of sanction against Iran wasn’t effective if they can make these drones
Cowardly putin
Not viable to shoot down hordes of cheap drones with. multi-million dollar rockets. They need to hit the laubch sites and dry up the supply. Give them F-35s.
Ukraine is also using drones to fight the Russians, by the way.
Ukraine need to hit Russia in Russia
The only wars that end, end when civilian cities get hit. If your enemy doesn't see the war at home then they can always claim they are winning
If they are hit with bullets. They hit civilian places for sure.
The same thing the United States did in Pakistan
WHAT UKRAINE NEED IS THE PHALANX OR SENTINEL AAA SYSTEMS ON EVERY CITY THAT UKRAINE HAVE, WHY THE United States AND THEIR ALLIES ARE NOT SUPPLYING THEM IS A GOOD QUESTION, AS USUAL THEY ARE "REACTING" INSTEAD OF LEADING*. C'MON GUYS, YOU CAN DO IT.
