📈🇷🇺 Russia is approaching a new record of losses at the front, this year could be the most "expensive" for the occupiers, - British intelligence
The department notes that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has lost about 950 thousand soldiers killed and wounded, and in the first 4 months of 2025, it probably lost about 160 thousand soldiers.
If this rate of losses continues until the end of the year, it could become the most expensive year in terms of personnel losses. At the same time, intelligence officials emphasized that Russia has not yet been able to turn constant heavy losses into significant successes.

Video of the day from the drone operators of the "Sharp Cartuzes" group, 2nd Special Unit of the CSO "Omega" of the National Guard.
"It wasn't a very good idea to carry a large canister of gasoline in a backpack to their positions. Especially along the roads of death. But these fools thought that burnout at work only happens in offices. They decided to test this idea, and it turned out very cinematic, with special effects," our pilots comment on the footage of their work.

One more minus: Lukashenko will be “late” (rather, he will not arrive) for the “Victory” parade in moscow
Betting is ongoing on who will also refuse this "grand" event tomorrow.
Nobody wants to get blown up 🤔😂🤣

Europe looks to reduce reliance on US F-35s with plans for own sixth-gen fighter jets.
There are plans to develop a domestic sixth-generation fighter jet in Europe, which could eventually replace the American F-35. Which could gradually enter service with countries starting in the mid-2030s
The joint British, Italian, and Japanese sixth-generation program aims for each participating country to make military decisions independently, without external interference.

News From The Frontline: The green grass was growing, the ground was drying up, it was getting warmer and the weather conditions were generally better, which dramatically contributed to the intensification of assault operations, especially in the Pokrovsky and Kostyantyniv directions.
And if in the latter the enemy is trying to sneak through the villages to the city, then in the Pokrovsky direction there are practically only fields and plantations, through which the invaders are trying to sneak through to the administrative border of the region.
It is difficult both there and there.
Literally, wooden FPV drones of the Pidars😳 are starting to fly to our positions in the Kherson region.
The entire frame is made entirely of wood.
The Pidars are trying to break through to the administrative border with the Dnipropetrovsk region day and night, and for the last week they have been conducting non-stop motorized assaults, and it is very clear that they want to crawl there by May 9.
There is particular activity in the Uspenivka area. The enemy is successful and has managed to seize several important positions, and fighting is already underway behind Novooleksandrivka, from which it is less than 4 kilometers to the Dnipropetrovsk region.
By the way, behind this village there are only fields, so the Pidars are betting that they will “pop” into them after the capture of Novooleksandrivka.

The occupier, frightened twice: by a drone and by a conversation with Ukrainian soldiers
A Russian soldier surrendered to a drone of the "Spartan" brigade in the Pokrovske direction. Upon seeing our UAV, he begged for mercy and signaled that he was ready to approach Ukrainian positions (albeit no longer as a "liberator").
During a conversation with our soldiers, the 24-year-old resident of the Samara region claimed that he was forced to go to war against Ukraine and spoke of his "innocent" past. However, after verification and additional interrogation, it became clear that he was just a coward who invented a story to "save his life."

WHY! The Armed Forces of Ukraine FIRED on Novorossiysk!
Pavlo Lakiychuk (captain of the first rank, head of Global Studies Strategy about the combined strike on Novorossiysk today.
He clarified that this was a good chance to try attacking those 15 ships as well as the empty Naval Base because the occupants had departed Novorossiysk Naval Base two days previously in the direction of the Black Sea.
This Ukrainian combined attack destroyed: 2 war planes and 1 helicopter.

"Because of one f*cked-up old man, we are all falling here like flies. Our commanders are irresponsible, they send us out, we wander through the forest trying to find that position, which, essentially, almost doesn't even exist."
Zakharutkin Leonard Alexandrovich, from the 152nd motorized rifle regiment of the Russian Armed Forces, a native of Bashkortostan. He was first taken in 2022 from the Ufa zone. Served for 6 months and returned home, fully pardoned. No one would hire him, so he went back to stealing to feed himself and his family. He was imprisoned again and sent to the "Special Military Operation."
Captured near the Pokrovske direction: "A little bird came by, it had a speaker with instructions. It told me what to do. I followed all its requirements, after which I was taken. I was the only one left alive out of six, thanks to the bird, who surrendered."
