UKRAINE UKRAINE'S DRONE DEPLOYMENT Professor Gerdes Explains: UKRAINE Just Launched Spider Web 2.0 - And Russia PANICS PLAY YOUTUBE VIDEO Original article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jn3AKCKLHw Peter Burgess COMMENTARY It has become increasingly difficult to access 'facts' using the Internet and the popular platforms. Using volume as a measure, the Internet has become a huge success ... but when factors like 'utility' or 'factual quality' are added in that success diminishes! I have the impression that Ukraine is now winning, and Putin's Russia has suffered meaningful losses ... but I have low confidence that this is a correct conclusion. It reminds me of something I remember from my quite early childhood ... that 'the truth is the first casualty of war'. Nazi Germany flooded the British Isles with radio propoganda and this aspect of war is ongoing at the present time! Peter Burgess

that they're calling it that i'm calling it that i've seen some uh some places in the media calling it spiderweb 2.0 it wasn't the same scale as the attack on the air bases but it was the same spirit and I'll explain that in just a moment breaking Ukrainian drones flew out of grain train car hatches destroyed 13 Russian tanks and more than a 100 armored vehicles and other equipment being transported by the Russian train in occupied southern Ukraine the hatches appear to have been opened remotely and so the drains the the drones popped out the drones attack first the locomotive and then after the locomotive is out and the train stops then all the other drones start targeting all the armor on the train it was pretty inspired i don't know how you stop that i mean I I'm I am pro- Ukraine i want Ukraine to win but I 1:02 I'm not just saying it for that reason i'm saying like if you're Russia how do you prevent a a tough and determined enemy from continuing to do this kind of thing to you i I just I don't know how okay so Ukraine's Defense Forces South command reports that they successfully struck a Russian military train likely newly built Daetska Zafaricia route destroying 13 enemy tanks over a 100 various types of vehicles and armored equipment i I think this is to give you a sense of what it looks like not the actual uh trains thems or tanks themselves but yeah here's the actual um uh translation of the actual thing another Now this is from uh the Russian perspective another unthinkable blank up by our special services there is no point in remaining silent anymore the enemy destroyed a locomotive with tanks and dozens of armored vehicles at some 2:00 point the hatches through which the grain is poured began to fly off from railway containers such as hoppers grain trucks while they're moving it was through them that the drones flew out and attacked the equipment that was located on the platform cars what genius came up with the idea of combining a train of equipment with grain trucks is a mystery as well as how the SPO managed to hide drones there it's also unknown but the result was this the first blow was delivered to the locomotive after which a train began to lose speed and was stopped the enemy destroyed most of the equipment without hindrance operation Spiderweb 2.0 someone must answer for this okay that's the Russians talking about what just happened all right so now in the last week we saw some pretty phenomenal things this what you see here is a Kinsel missile and this goes back to the 3:00 attack on a children's hospital so the Kinsel missile the KH101 cruise missile flies at 900 kilometers per hour it's accurate within 5 to 10 m july 8th 2024 Russia intentionally sent this missile into a children's cancer hospital on June 1st 2025 Ukraine undertook an operation to destroy the very bombers that launched the attack that was spiderweb well 1.0 now they undertook an operation to destroy the bombers that Russians use every night to solely focus their weapons onto civilians to men women children babies that's right that's what they wiped out was not just these missiles but the carrier uh the the bombers that carry these kinds of missiles okay in the past 48 hours according to Zalinsky past 48 hours Ukrainian forces destroyed three Iscander installations that's the Iscander missile launchers 4:00 right and ASU or yeah Su Su35 fighter jet damaged military helicopters defeated military logistics and airfields this is in addition to the attacks in Moscow and against a train carrying on carrying tanks and arms like it's been a banner week for Ukraine like no doubt about that for those conveniently with short-term selective memory let me let me remind you since February 2022 Russia has launched over 10,000 missiles at Ukraine think about that 10,000 missiles of nearly every type it possesses cruise ballistic aerobistic anti-ship tactical strategic on top of that over 50,000 kamicazi drones mostly Iranian Shahed 136s 10,000 missiles 50,000 drones launched at Ukraine since the war began in response to Ukraine destroying 5:00 strategic bombers uh Russia destroyed a strategic secondhand shops in Kev that's just commentary but it's humorous but at the same time it it's telling like this wait you're going after civilian businesses and civilians in their home sleeping while they're attacking your trains and planes and tanks as of 8:00 p.m over 40 people have been injured and one killed in Hark as a a result of the second attack so yesterday I talked about the attack on Harkke it was pretty brutal overnight and then during the day and I didn't talk about this because well I didn't get the news before I could report this during the day they attacked Harkke during the like broad daylight during the second attack in Harkefe in 24 hours the deceased is ahead of the children's railway who was appointed to this position two weeks ago so I guess in retaliation for the attack on the train but I mean I'm sure they weren't 6:00 thinking like that but this is what was 6:01 hit the The the place the Russians just bombed in Hark is the children's railway where kids learn about railroads that was just targeted and the head of that was just killed yesterday in Hark today in Herzan the Russians attacked with a drone an ambulance that was on its way to respond to a call the driver saved his life miraculously just luckily uh now Ukrainian drone operators in Hzan have been hunting civilians using FPV drones now Ukrainian forces located one of their bases and used two AASM hammer glide bombs to wipe out the Russian drone base this is the aftermath of that strike okay and other news the Crystal Oil Depot in Engles has been burning for the third day now following reported drone strikes uh you remember that just a couple days ago and NASA firms data confirms more hardship for fuel depots at Russian air bases creinsk air base in 7:01 Krnodar territory it you can see it from NASA firms on the map the fire there now this is overnight last night at least five explosions occurred in Novosis Visk Tula region in Russia residents heard between five to eight explosions local Telegram channels write that one of the drones hit the Azot chemical plant okay what's the Azot chemical plant well the Swiss Eurochem Azad chemical plant is currently burning after Ukrainian drone attacks swiss plant is in Russia yeah they they didn't pull out supplied they supplied nitric acid to the seal love explosives factory which produces oxygen and hexogen which in turn are used in artillery shells and warheads so the Euroam Azot factory produced and sent 500 tons of nitric acid to in over 2 and 1/2 years since 8:01 February of 2022 enough to produce 3,000 tons of RDX explosives to fill 500,000 large caliber artillery shells so was that a good hit yeah that that was a good hit the gyro mash or hydro mash machining factory is on fire in Russian occupied Malitapole here's a video of it or some images of it and the Russian Malito hydro mash plant is on fire locals say that the plant was used by the Russian army as a base so that's why that was hit the Bumin production facility is on fire in Sovo near Lug Oil ref oil refinery in Nitsi Novagarad um the Batuman production facility blew up uh it's 250 mi east of Moscow and uh what else do we know about it it the cause of the fire wasn't reported but it's weird because like bumin what is bumin i had to look it up 9:00 it's a black viscous mixture of hydrocarbons obtained naturally or as a residue from petroleum distillation it's used for road resurfacing and roofing so I I'm not sure what the value is and you know this could have been a case of a careless cigarette i mean accidents happen all the time but yeah I just I don't know what the value is if if you understand that put that in the comments below fuel and lubricants warehouse is on fire after an explosion in a Moscow suburb 19 miles from the Kremlin okay so fuel and lubricants that one I understand polymer products warehouse burned down in Azov Rasttov region so lots of things were happening overnight and again the Ukrainians keep coming i don't I mean at a certain point I think the Russians are going to be like suing for peace like please stop the Ukrainians nato help us okay I'm only being slightly facitious here 1120 Russians off the battlefield day over 10:00 day 11 armored fighting vehicles 42 artillery systems so the tanks and and armored fighting vehicles are not factored in yet um 146 vehicles and fuel tanks and Igor Shushko points out that um Russia's 4 days away from 1 million casualties yesterday they just clipped by 1,200 days of this war 1,200 days and in four days they'll be to a million casualties just it's just amazing overnight on Ukraine uh overnight on June 8th Ukraine's air defense neutralized 40 drones out of 49 launched by Russia 52 objects in total including a couple of missiles but this is a little frightening to me when I see low numbers like this I go 'Uh-oh they're saving up for a rainy day.' The day before was 215 objects now I'm I'm not advocating for more like I I want more but I think there's something more at work here uh Russia's preparing a 11:00 massive new strike on Ukraine in the coming days kremlin's full response to spider operation is still ahead reports Reuters okay moscow is planning a massive brutal and unrelenting attack so I reported yesterday was it yesterday or the day before it's all running together that Ukraine really kind of blunted what was supposed to be this massive attack by preemptively hitting with a spiderweb attack and then continuing to hit and hit and hit um Moscow still wants revenge and like it's weird even to say that the mugger wants revenge on the muggy who hit him back like but that's that's where we are notably officials say Russia is preparing an as asymmetrical strike not against military targets but against symbolic and vulnerable targets so we'll see what that's going to be probably something civilian or government buildings or something like that on the battlefield in the Pacross direction Russians uh 12:00 attacked 55 times i I show because it's the high watermark of where the attacks are so okay uh I generally show uh drones just to mix it up here are some CB90 combat boats provided by Swedish partners in service with the Ukrainian Navy so that's kind of interesting to see the the Ukrainians pretty much had no navy of their own or only limited to only these very very small boats um yeah okay germany plans rapid expansion of bunkers amid fears of Russian attack within the next four years reports the Guardian so they're realizing they don't have as many as they need in in case there's some kind of major conflict throughout Europe including missiles coming in from Russia so everybody in Europe is preparing for potential war with one particular country but that one particular country doesn't think it's the problem it's like your crazy uncle 13:00 at Thanksgiving dinner that you know everybody knows like he's the crazy one but he thinks everybody else is okay back to drones when you think about drones in Ukraine please this is Andrew Perpeta talking about this please stop focusing on FPV drones there are so many other types of drones many of which are more powerful and more useful than FPV drones fpvs are these little tiny ones right but think about this in my opinion he says FPV drones peaked in importance pretty long time ago and other types are nowhere near peaked yet and so what are what are we talking about vampire drones vampires are no joke like vampire drones all day long and twice on Sunday kazan heavy shot are the three most important drones right now in my opinion not only do they critically do critically important things like laying minefields dropping deadly bombs but they deliver supplies and food and ammo and they carry construction equipment and communications and electronic warfare and yeah they they do some pretty 14:00 amazing things plus the range of heavy bombers is so absurd like one killed a S300 like you have a drone killing an S300 air defense system that's it's it's just amazing okay russia panics after spider strike russia uh rushes to build aircraft shelters so it struck me when the when I was reading like okay so a hanger I I get the idea of having a plane in a hanger and that doesn't really but to the to the degree that you really fortify this shelter it's like if you live in a part of the metaphor that I would use if you live in a part of the country where there's both hurricanes and earthquakes you have to build your house to a a standard structure that's going to either help you withstand the hurricane or withstand the earthquake but not both like one undoes the other like you can't make it earthquake and hurricane proof simultaneously it just And same kind of thing here the more that they try to protect these planes 15:01 the slower those planes will be in getting away so when they're there the more that they're likely to be under attacked more easily from regular means rather than like the drones so it's a really interesting thing to see how this works according to OSINT Osent analyst Def Moon Defmon uh satellite images show construction of these shelters so Darth Putin quipped 'Ukrainian attacks on Russian infrastructure have caused several million dollars worth of improvements.' All right my friends I'll leave you with this a dream come true azov veteran dances with his wife for the first time after amputations 36-year-old Alexander Zavniko a soldier of the 12th Isov Special Brigade who lost both legs at the front has danced again this time alongside his wife Marina okay after months of pain surgeries and rehabilitation Alexander returned to the dance floor and uh 16:00 fulfilled his dream to dance once more with the woman that he loves yeah okay my friends that's all that I have for you today thank you for your time thank you for the likes the shares and the subscribes and thank you for being the kind of person that cares about Ukraine
