EXPOSED: Ukraine’s drones halts Russian ‘advance’ with Putin facing recruitment crisis |Battle Plans
Vladimir Putin’s popularity is tanking as Russia’s military faces fresh disasters from Eastern Europe to West Africa. In this episode of Battle Plans Exposed, Philip Ingram MBE analyses why the Kremlin’s mobilisation is failing to replace staggering frontline losses.
We look at the major strategic shift in Moldova, where Russian military commanders have been branded “undesirable” and trapped in the breakaway region of Transnistria. On the front lines, Ukraine is using ‘robot rescuers’ and 1,800km deep-strike drones to bypass Russian defences and hammer Putin’s industrial heartland. Plus, we go inside the rebel offensive in Mali that has left Russia’s Africa Corps in retreat.
Finally, we go hands-on with the latest drone tech—from the British-made Windracer ULTRA to the “Queen Hornet” tank hunters—that are now responsible for three-quarters of all battlefield casualties.
