Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev says drones are taking over the modern military landscape amid Moscow’s “special military operation” in Ukraine, urging an increase in the production of drones.
In a meeting with the commanders of Chechen units on Monday, Medvedev, Security Council Deputy Chairman, said that drones are changing people’s mindset and the way they think about war.
“When the special military operation began, few people were talking about drones. There was an understanding that this war would also be fought using the classic rules of warfare from the past. However, it turned out that the world had changed and technology had changed, too,” he said.
According to Medvedev, to the surprise of almost all military strategists across the world, drones are taking over the modern military landscape and reshaping the battlefield.
“Until recently, it seemed that it’s something from a distant future, just like walking robots, apparently, it’s not: all these things are now used in combat,” he added.

He said Russia is facing “challenging tasks” which are deciding “the fate of our country.”
Medvedev stressed the need for ramping up Russia’s drone production to complement its arsenal of tanks and missiles.
In January, Russian President Vladimir Putin had said that domestically made drones were effectively performing combat missions in the special military operation zone, which used to involve attack and tactical aircraft.
Medvedev’s remarks come as Russia announces it has taken “full control” of the key Ukrainian town of Avdiivka, making it Moscow’s most significant territorial gain since they seized the eastern city of Bakhmut last May.
The Russian military said Monday its forces had completed their takeover of the city after Ukrainian forces fled the city,,eliminating the last pocket of resistance at the eastern Ukraine city’s huge coke plant.
Kiev’s forces was driven out over the weekend as a result of the sheer weight of Russia’s troop numbers and greater firepower.
The victory comes days ahead of the two-year anniversary of Russia’s military campaign against its neighbor on February 24, 2022.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is on a tour of Europe to secure desperately needed military aid as Kive has been heavily relied on the supply of Western weapons and ammunition.
Andrii Teren, a commander in the 110th Brigade, said on Monday that a lack of shells and manpower caused Avdiivka’s fall.
“We didn’t have enough people. We didn’t have enough shells. We didn’t have enough possibilities to throw them back. If we had had a large amount, or at least an ok amount of shells, we could have stopped the enemy. But unfortunately, we didn’t have them.”
Western countries have responded to the Russian military operation by backing Ukraine with cash and heavy weaponry.
Russia has repeatedly warned that flooding Ukraine with weapons and munitions will only prolong the war, not stopping the Russian troops from reaching their military objective in the region.
MIGRANT COSTS BANKRUPT BIRMINGHAM
Bankrupt Birmingham council to raise council tax by 21% and shed 600 jobs
Birmingham City Council will raise council tax by 21 per cent and cull up to 600 jobs in a bid to save £300m.
A spokesman said there are 40 UK councils bankrupt from constantly paying out on foreign migrants
Europe’s largest local authority issued a so-called section 114 notice last year, meaning it is essentially bankrupt, after it said it faced £760 million loss
In an urgent attempt to cut back spending, the council will dim street lights, waste collection intervals will increase to every two weeks and burial costs will rise as will council tax and hampering motorists
The local authority announced the provisional changes in a briefing on Monday where they set out how they will cut £150m from its budget in 2024-25 and the same again in 2025-26.Dimming streetlights will save up to £1m a year and cut-backs on highways maintenance such as pothole filling could save up to £12m, depending on the outcome of a Private Finance Initiative (PFI)- a partnership with the private sector.
Next to take a hit is adult social care which will be cut by £23.7m in the next financial year.The Children’s, Young People and Families department will have to find £51.5m savings.
Many Birmingham families are already very hard hit, with many parents skipping meals to feed children
The local authority asked ministers for permission to raise council tax by at least 10 per cent in each of the next two financial years.
The announcements come as council workers claim a backlog of historical equal pay claims have not yet been resolved.
“Birmingham City Council seem to have a plan for slashing local services, but they don’t yet have a plan for feeding its people
Speaking on Monday, Council Leader John Cotton told the BBC they were “really difficult decisions to take”.
Government people trafficks in migrants here and we have to find the money to look after them
“This is a big number we’re seeking to take out of the budget and clearly we know that these will have impacts on citizens in terms of services that they receive,” he said.
“What we’ve sought to do in framing this budget is we mitigate the impact on the most vulnerable, so we’ve ensured that adult social care and children’s services take a much lower percentage cut, but the bottom line is ” stop the migrants “
There are a number of possibilities which could come into play.
My own view, Russia will take Kharkiv and Odesa, and then see what the Nazis do.
They could enter Western UKraine, and I think this is a real possibility. At the same time, the fighting could just stop. Nothing official, no official ceasefire, just an uneasy pause.
Will the Russians allow the Nazis to regroup? If the fighting doesn’t stop, then Russia will crawl forwards by design, and keep hitting high value targets.
After the recent musical chairs in Kiev, I don’t believe Zelensky is going anywhere, unless there’s mass deserting.
I’ve a feeling that UKraine has a new army in waiting, maybe 200k. I reckon NATO has around 100k prancing around in UKrainian uniforms. Could be wrong, but we will see.
Just more weapons to be utilized to kill off more whites with, by the Jew Commie nutjobs ruling Russia. Welcome to Whiteocide.
NATO = ZWOG
Russia = ZWOG
Guess what– they’re both in on it to set up & waste whites.
In other related news. It’s that moment again. You cannot make this up.
British Trident missile test off the coast of Florida has failed.
The missile was ejected by compressed air from its launch tube while under water at launch depth, but it’s engine failed to fire, and the 56 ton missile fell back into the sea, next to the submarine. They claim it did not hit the sub.
Me, I don’t believe this point. The missile goes directly up from the launch tube. If it doesn’t fly away, it drops down into the sea, it’s going to hit the sub. It’s 44ft long, and weights 56 tons, and the sub isn’t that far under the surface, so I can’t see how it landed next to the sub. I’d have thought it would hit the deck, and then roll off. So some damage.
This is the second failed Trident launch, and this US made system has cost the UK Nazi state $200 billion, and we don’t even have the ability to launch without US approval.
Carriers with rusty shafts, fuel leaks, Sea Viper missiles which are useless, so the Nazi regime finds (debt) £408 million (this will double, if not triple), to upgrade the warheads, and keep 350 sheeple in work.
I think it’s reasonable to believe these considerable military failures are just the tip of the berg. Super glue to fix a nuclear submarine bolt?!
Returning to Trident. This is US made, from the systems in the subs, the software, the missiles and nukes, and two consecutive launch fails. How much of the NWO Satanic Nazi military kit will fail in a direct war with Russia?
I mean, all we hear in the Nazi press, is that Russian nukes won’t launch because they are in such bad condition. Is this the best the Nazis have? Everying used in UKraine by Russis has worked with a limited number of failures, so I don’t see why Russias nukes aren’t in tip top condition.

In other news, Prince Wills has decided too many Palistinians have died, and it’s time to stop the genocide. Why it’s taken this muppet so long to work this out is anybodies guess.
Of course, this makes a massive stink. The Israeli Nazis would call anyone who said this, an antisemite, and Bibi would be calling them Nazis.
Maybe this was timed, because the Nazis need to respond to the ICJ (not the ICC) judgement, and I believe it’s Joo this Friday 23rd, but I could be wrong.
Will MI6 need to call Mossad and get them to take out Wills? If they did, they’d hit the entire family, Wills, & three lambs, and if that happened, Harry and Meghan would be King and Queen.
Seriously, Wills is so lazy, he would love a way out, but not in a box.
We have UK Nazi in chief, Lordy David Pecker Pigs Head Cameron, clearly saying the Gaza operation must stop, so why is Wills sticking his pecker in the pigs head, so to speak?
In line with royal tradition, it can’t be long before Kate is disappeared, be that dead, or just ewe no longer required.
The Nazis would love to have a king with an Amerikan wife. We Wills see.

Dam – That was Zelensky’s personal stash !
It’s becoming quite apparent that the blueprint for the post modernist gulag…and it’s incessantly chunnering imbeciles and designer ultraviolence and it’s sickened slave class…wasn’t the Biblical exegesis of the Sionist ‘Learned Protocols’..and it’s man on the ground Lev Bernshteen Trott alongski ..
No No…
It is in fact the cartoon show ‘Ren and Stimpy’…. specifically episode 5..’Space Madness’… (for all you internet occultists, eastern metaphysickalists and numerological germatrophied users)..
Trust me..
I still dont understand why no arab state bombed all
israeli military airport bases with drones + missiles .
those from those bases IDF jets anytime can start
with tactical nukes how they already did in Beirut
port, Syria + other places .
@ Carl..
Good G-d man..
…didn’t you know Bald Billy Sachs Cohen’s wife is a Goldsmith.. a slinky perma tanned yenta.. who I am reliably informed by those that have her acquaintance, is one of those types of perpetually ‘flushed’ ladies that looks like she’s always sat on a ‘fortune’…if you get my drift..nudge nudge..
surely you realize Hitler was a Stewart? with family in Liverpool… So there’s no chance they will get another ahem.. ‘crack’ at the throne… having proven they don’t have the head for it… so it will have to be another set of ahkenazis…
..the Hitlers Stewarts family moved to America after the war because they had immigrant frenemies in the the CiA and NaSa… and got into the gas business…
something in which they had a modicum of experience and did quite well out of…
NB: OF course it’s all irrelevant really with their Mother Artemis er ..Diana, being a full fledged four by two via mummy Fanny Shand kydd..
Which of course makes the gruesome twosome yids themselves….
