Think tank the Royal United Services Institute said Russia is adapting to what is happening on the battlefield.

Fighting throughout Ukraine is grueling, even for hardened veterans. Ihor, a former lawyer, recalls that day at the start of August when the Russians attacked the cratered ruins of Novoselivka in Kharkiv Oblast, which his 1st company was defending. The Russian troops scouted out the position with their seemingly limitless drones.

Further evidence has emerged indicating Russia has begun making Iranian kamikaze drones or at least prototypes thereof.

Ukraine has begun using American cluster munitions in the field and is doing so effectively, according to the White House. The use of weapons that cover an area with bomblets is controversial around the world because of the lingering danger they pose to civilians. A total of 111 countries have ratified the Convention on Cluster Munitions, outright banning the use of such weapons.

The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine has stated that is had put into service or operation 28 models of Ukraine-made unmanned aerial vehicles and has received two offers from Ukrainian Defence Industry state company (Ukroboronprom), but cannot buy the models that are not being mass-produced so far.
