Ukraine Found A New Deep Strike Platform And Is Putting It To Use
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- The last few weeks have seen an uptick in deep strikes both by Russia and Ukraine. Earlier today there was even a reported drone strike on the Kremlin in Moscow. This new platform that Ukraine is working with, or what they've modified, will likely play a big role in the coming weeks.

If i was low on ammo i would not tell the enemy with public statements. If i had a lot of ammo i would tell my enemy i am out of bullets in hopes they make rash decisions
That's some sun tzu chapter ones shit
Edit : ok fine chapter 6 shit !
Military intel doesn’t get much of its info from press conferences
They have more sophisticated ways of determine force concentrations and ammunition supply in different areas
Same, keep your enemies guessing

top notch content on a daily basis ! Thanks Preston ;sending love from Sweden !
Thanks a lot sir!
@@Omni_ShamblesWhat exactly ruffled your feathers?
@@PrestonStewart about your question on behalf of a large group of bombers:
-Maybe to fire as many missiles as possible in a shortest time frame, missiles are launched from the revolver type thing;
-To train the mass attack in a short window of time?
@D J anything to back your claim up ? Can't just go around claiming propaganda without evidence
This is really good material. I'm an analyst (not a military analyst) and I really appreciate just how methodical, balanced and clear you are. Big fan.
Thanks man, means a lot!
Preston and Perun are my go to chanel's . The content is always a 10 .
A small correction, the Mugin drone costs 10 grand, but you also need to buy the propulsion which is another 10 grand, still cheap but twice as expensive. Nonetheless, great video!
Some of the Russian bombers launched decoys, which Ukraine intercepted 15 of 18, wasting precious AD missiles. They missed the real missiles aimed at missile storage depot and repair facilities.
@@kenrik2105 just keep telling yourself that.

Top UA-cam editorialists such as yourself are testament to the value of free speech. Network talking heads just read what’s in front of them. You clearly deliver educated well researched information. You make it clear when you are speculating and don’t come off like a know it all in any way. There are others I watch every day. All with slightly different approaches. Your videos give a fantastic 20,000 ft analysis that sometimes swoops to treetop level.
Always level-headed, even, and fair. I appreciate the work

@@LoveHammerMan yeah I guess nobody told you about Fallujah or for that matter gaza, and the Balkans
Wow. That is bound to have a psychological affect at a minimum,
2 train derailments and 2 oil storage facilities Vs what 50 shaheeds, 18 cruise missiles and dozens of FABs doing the same thing to Ukraine? Yet all the media coverage focusses on a couple of Ukrainian PR attacks and dismisses that they are being hit ten times worse. Makes no sense.
In Ukrainian Kropyvnytskyi (Kirovohrad), Russian drones hit an oil depot last night. In the morning, the head of the Kirovograd region Andrey Raikovich announced this:
"About three in the morning, 3 shaheeds "Geran-2" immediately attacked an oil depot in the regional center. There were no casualties. All services worked quickly. Elimination of the consequences of the arrival began immediately. Information about the damage is being specified."
Another kamikaze UAV hit the building of the military registration and enlistment office in Konstantinovka, Donetsk region.
Air defense systems, communication centers and deployment points of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kyiv, Sumy, Kirovohrad regions and near Kherson were hit. Under the cover of darkness, Russian troops carried out a series of attacks with kamikaze drones and glide bombs. Explosions thundered in Sumy, Kyiv, Kirovograd, Dnepropetrovsk regions.
On the territory of the Sumy region, the points of deployment of the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were hit.
It is reported that Geran-2 kamikaze drones were able to destroy several enemy anti-aircraft missile systems near Kiev.
Communication centers and accommodation facilities for the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the right bank of the Kherson region were also destroyed.
From my experience, living in eastern country: whenever there's a state action that confuses you, be sure (and it plays out so in a few years) that a tone of stupidity is behind.
Some of your best work.
Appreciate the professional analysis.
Brilliant as always Preston 👌
Thanks a lot!

Russia can always pull out of Ukraine and go back to Mordor...
Or they can declare war and end up receiving an unconditional surrender.

Good commentary, thanks!
Prigozhyn plays his own game. russians use 4 more times artillery than Ukraine. So seems like the problem is different and maybe they are just looking for excuses for their people to explain why Backhmut is not captured yet.
Excellent analysis. Thank you!
One of the two Canadians killed in Bakhmut was from my hometown. I just learned today. 21yo. Slava Ukraini.
Yoooo, when you intro'd Igor Girkin, you forgot mention his involvement in the shooting down of flight MH17!
One of the bombers missles went right down into the sea.
Glad I finally subscribed to your channel Preston! Always concise but comprehensive as well presented and thought out. Now one of the channels I regularly look forward to updates from. Keep it up!👍👍👍
Hey man you’ve become my main man in regards to the Russo Ukrainian war. Do you think you could upload a video about where you obtain and follow the information? Kind of a “here’s how I do my due diligence” video.

Stay cool brother 😊
Prigozhin didn’t looked panicked to me at all durning the interview. I think they’re fine and they want to draw attention away from the failures of the main force.
What better way than drum up some fake drama. Shortly after the interview Prigozhin took photos holding the RUS flag and smiling with main Russian forces.
Yeah mate, you’re right, he’s just a really ugly _ _ nt
Good video, very informative. Thank you!
The duration and rate of usage of ammunition in this war is unprecedented
I'd say WWI should at least come close.
We forgot past wars
Went cheap
Just wanna say top notch work on having looked at the bigger picture with logistics in ukraine and in other conflicts. Thanks again, wish the best to you and your kin.

Loving the coverage. Do you think you could talk a bit about analyzing these shaping operations and what vulnerabilities they cause in Russian capabilities?

Great video and analyzation Mr Stewart and I thank you for serving this country.
No idea why a V1 copy hasnt been made yet....
Modern guidance etc.
The guidance for the V1 wasn't bad for that era. Many of its failed sorties were the result of sabatoge from the slave labor used to produce them.
Great breakdown
Love these longer videos
Beautiful analysis, as always!
The 4th strike imo was a false flag op done by the FSB.
FYI
“On 17 July 2014 Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17) was shot down by Russian-controlled forces on 17 July 2014, while flying over eastern Ukraine. All 283 passengers and 15 crew were killed.”
If a professional saboteur, terrorist and FSB officer had a CV, the quote above would be the very first line in it. It will be followed by the responsibility for the forced disappearance and murder of residents of Chechnya's mountain village of Khatuni and nearby settlements, fighting for Russia-backed Transdnistria and Republika Srpska separatists in Moldova and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the key role in annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, and later the war in Donbas as an organizer of militant groups.
The problem with Strelkov-Girkin is that after numerous crimes and issued life sentence, now he streams on the internet, blaming Russian military authorities and government for underperformance (more of a complete disaster) in the war in Ukraine.
If you haven’t seen the problem yet: everyone who criticises Russian government and Putin himself - gets eliminated. F.e. Boris Nemtsov a former deputy prime minister of Russia (shot 4 times the back in Moscow), Natalia Estemirova journalist specialized in uncovering human-rights abuses (gunshot wound to her head), Alexander Litvinenko former KGB/FSB agent (poisoned in London hotel with deadly polonium-210) etc.
So, if Russia “keeps it clean” and eliminates all informational danger, how can a person directly linked to FSB, war criminal and wanted terrorist go out in public and openly criticize everyone in Russian top leadership?
The answer is easy: it’s just another operation, informational this time. His job is to make average people think that Russian military and political administration is stupid, dumb, and can’t do anything. They can, they want us to think otherwise. They are cruel, carnivorous and cunning. Don’t get caught and don’t give them a chance to tweak your mind - they will if you do.
The thing about the Moscow drone attack is that the Ukrainian MoD denied involvement, which they never did before. They simply did not comment, like with the Kerch Straight Bridge. Additionally, there's a growing Russian separatist movement, that have been derailing trains and firebombing recruitment offices and the like since very early in the war (Popular Front did an interesting piece on them). I believe it is likely that both train derailments and the Kremlin attack was carried out by these separatists, though coordination with the Ukrainian MoD is a possibility.
Very objective solid analysis and presentation. Thank you.
Good analysis.
China isn’t selling the drones directly to 🇺🇦. The are sold to other nations/private citizens who then transfer them to Ukrainian forces. Heard about this a while ago. Searching for the source.
Your the first person i have seen give any credit to the idea that the kremlin drones could have come from ukraine controlled territory. Good info. I hope it was the ukrainians.
@@Nobody-U-Want-2-Know yep, one city for a flagpole sounds about right to me!🤡
just FYI the Drone model is named Mugin-5, Mugin and Hugin was the name of the two Crows Odin used to watch from the skies after Sacrificing one of his Eyes.
5:54 forgot to mention that he has blood on his hands from MH17
Prigozhin is like those game characters in Red Alert. Same kind of career.
Zero concussion from that blast. Flag didnt even move as a result of the explosion. Just a big flash bang.
Please do more videos like this where you talk and show video. Thanks man
Hey if that whole military or bee keeping thing doesn't work out for you, military journalism is going to be a great path. 👍
Military Beekeeping....the ultimate in miniature drone warfare!😉
@@anthonywatson7735 Weaponized bee's... lmfao!
Ukraine is playing a dangerous game.
First time here and I’m impressed.
Appreciate it!
What I don't understand is why is Russia still hitting civilian targets with missile strikes vs hitting targets on the front line(s)? I get they were trying to impact Ukrainian civilian moral, but it's not working. They keep throwing troops at the lines, but not targeted and strategic missiles strikes? Truly bizarre.
Well like Preston says, it forces Ukraine to keep air defenses far behind the front lines... But like, hitting power stations and rail hubs would do the same thing and have an actual effect on the war, so... Idk. Maybe they're actually just monsters?
@@AHDBification Agreed on the Monsters part. They did the same in Syria, leveling entire cities and killing so many civilians. And Putin certainly does not care about losing his own soldiers, but with Wagner pulling out things are getting very ugly for Putin. I predict he won't last the year in power.
Zelensky said in a conference that Ukraine had nothing to do with the attack on the Kremlin, siting that such a small attack would be a deficit to their supply chain. A small attack would have been negligible to the priority of the Ukrainian army
look at its nose, that j never lies... 😹
Well it might be true, that Russia is Not telling the truth
But we should also consider Ukraine not wanting anyone to be able to look into their cards. Meaning, that it is possible for Ukraine to have conducted all those strikes.
@@kittytrail so you russki are saying nazi stuff....but you also say, that ukraine is the nazi? Which way is it?
@@lukasb2790 What nazi stuff are they saying?
Zelensky denyd mostly every strikes inside Russia. Even raids.
Quick question. If Russia is not doing anything resembling an offensive at the moment, is Ukraine performing a counter offensive, or an offensive?
Good question and it's largely semantics. Sort of depends on the timeframe in how all of this is considered. I imagine big picture, when we look back on this war in 10+ years what comes next here will be considered a counteroffensive in the view that it's in response to the overall Russian offensive over the last year.
I think this is sending a message related to the upcoming May 9 parade in Moscow. If Putin does not conduct a grand parade it will be noticed despite any propaganda the Kremlin issues. Tactically, a parade would be a big target for asymmetric forces. Particularly, a slow fly over of precious aircraft if stingers are present on the ground in the hands of pro Ukrainian forces.
I wonder if Ukraine will use their distance strike capabilities against the Kalingrad enclave, to force Russia to dilute their strength.
I don’t think they’d fly over nato territory
Is that a 10 Bradley phalanx under yellow and blue?
We still are trying to understand why Bahkmut! Why, why, why? What is the point?
What is the point to any battle/war?
thx
Those Mugin-5 UAVs can carry a 25kg payload, so that's potentially five to ten times (depending on which one) the size of an RPG-7 warhead and so I imagine that a 25kg HEAT warhead with a fragmentation sleeve could cause considerable chaos where-ever it is targeted.
A simple explanation for why Russia used a large number of bombers: if you are trying to get the enemy to expend their remaining SAM’s, then launching a large number of planes as decoys seems a smart move. Which planes are carrying the actual missiles?
SAM's are targeting the missiles launched by the aircraft. Not the aircraft themselves. Having more aircraft than missiles would force more AA radars to be activated to determine if missiles have been launched. If the radar signals are collected by the aircraft they can geo-located the radar for future attacks
Dude. Every time I get a notification I drop what I am doing.
Btw did I mention I appreciate your work Preston? 😊 If not I do now and excuse the double-post (it’ll jog the algorithm)
Thanks a lot man!
You can see the drone flying into the Kremlin, and it’s way too small to have flown from Ukraine. Small Drone + Small explosion in a dramatic location below the flag + Russia’s response = false flag.
That's not a small drone, and it is possible to have the range but I highly doubt it flew all the way from within the Ukraine. It's Nord Stream explosion again, all parties have plausible deniability, yet, the end goal are the same, to escalate the war.
Ukriane lied aswell, because they know NATO won't supply them with weapons. And some of the territories they captured are literally on the border. Knowing how poorly trained the Russians are, they could have snuck in and launched it then fleed.
@@conchfritters01 Putin came to power after blowing up a Russian apartment building and blaming it on terrorists, I don’t think he cares about 2 guys dying.
Ukrainian offensive can't be far off now.
Ukraine tends to strike deep while they maneuver. For example, the Kherson offensive accelerated in late September 2022. The Kerch bridge was struck on October 8th. I don't think that's a coincidence. It introduces complicating factors in the Russian command. Ukraine has been using their limited capability fairly artfully. Meanwhile Russia just lobs deep strikes without any meaningful coordination with ground maneuver.
Russia's campaign of terror when it targeted Ukraines electrical grid and mercilessly bombarded civilian sectors were not by accident. There goal was to instill terror so violent that Ukraine would surrender. So far, it hasn't worked so well.
Anyone else notice at 8:17 there are two people on the roof (potentially drone operators or fire crews), the drone is a quad-copter flying at low speed, and it actually isn't touching anything when it explodes. You can see the drone is silhouetted by sky and is not falling in pieces but as one continuous vehicle. It really looks like someone strapped C4 to a commercial drone blew it up as propoganda.
Leningrad ? Wait which century are we in?
Great video as always …… such an important time for Ukraine !!!
Outstanding
Deepstrike ? That s a bit much for 2 little quadcopters going for the flag pole.
I told you guys ! I traded the missiles for half a bottle of watered down vodka ! bllyaayyt
They buy the drones from Poland or other border countries and then send them to Ukraine
You don’t put out a fuel depot fire it puts itself out.
I just saw articles on Ground News from THIS MORNING saying Wagner is pulling out because Shoigu won’t give them ammo.
Just a coment, not particularily related to this exact vid, but I wonder why there is a lot of talking about how difficult Crimea will be to assault, but no one talk about the fact that Crimea was captured by attackers every single time it got sieged. Just look at its history, every attack on Crimea - win for attacker.
Any city, if you siege it long enough, it will be captured..... 😂
Crimea is hard to get in and out of, and that’s a double edged sword.
I feel like they are firing off what they can replace through production. They also may have used this as a way to show that they can still put out alot of firepower but are making a good will gesture in the Russian mind by not using that firepower. All of those were nuclear capable so it could be a show to NATO it is willing to use nukes if Ukraines counter offensive is very effective.
Actually it would be quite simple to wire those chinese drones as kamikazes. Even if they don't have a triggerable output. The website says they have disc brakes. A kamikaze drone wouldn't have much need for those. All Ukraine has to do is wire the brakes to a trigger for the explosives, pair that with an impact fuse and voila.
Man, I could listen to you all day long..
I follow a few others, and to be honest, they come across as arrogant or do stupid childish shit that is just plain annoying. You call things as you see them without always painting a rosie picture for one side. I check I nightly... ) am extremely disappointed when you don't have a video out for that day (I get it... but I can still be disappointed ... anyway.. keep up the great content pal!
i agree with the 18 missiles can cause alot of death and destruction... and i'd like to use the same phrasing as "my counter would be.." ..not wanting to fear monger here but they have tactical and intercontinental nukes or slap a nuke on(according to them) any cruise missile used in the war including the hypersonic ones
Train derailments do not have to be sabotage. They are running more trains with more cargo... overlooking standard safety protocols. You are gonna have some accidents. Did they give a pass for not getting drafted to railyard workers with experience? Missing staff can also increase the rate of accidents.
Valid points, a lot of possible causes there. The location of the derailments, in Bryansk where there's been some border crossings over the last few months, makes me lean a little more towards sabotage but in fairness I don't believe I've seen confirmation in any direction.
"Train derailments do not have to be sabotage"
Locals authorities reported that 2 derailments were caused by explosives.
The third one was prevented when a rail worker discovered it.
Weren’t some of them literally blown up with explosives? I think I remember reading a story about that with Russian sources as well.
Multiple launch planes and missile trajectories could be used to triangulate the position of the remaining air defense systems.
Does anyone else get the impression that Igor Girkin likes to cosplay as a 19th century Tsarist officer when he's home alone? I can see him studying himself in front of a mirror clutching a plumed hat and a sabre.
That man proghozin is a BOSS
I swear i saw anti air equipment being put on the roof of the kremlin .
Hope you're feeling better.

I would like to send a bulletproof vest to a buddy in ukraine. He is currently recovering from a wound in kyiv. Please let me know if any of you have info on how to get it to him. Apparently you need a special license to send body armor. There has to be a way around it.
He's been on the front lines since 2014 with no body armor. 3 times he's been wounded. Someone please help.
The worlds most dangerous job is to be 4th crew member in an ancient Soviet tank T54/55/62 nobody knows how to operate. You've had zero training. Your team has zero training. The platoon and its company have zero training. Here come the Ukrainians trained, rested and motivated to kill. It's very similar to Gulf War 1 kids. The NATO/US intel is overwelming.Ukraine knows the next Russian chess move before they do.
😊
It's my impression that Putin has a real problem Wagner. If that guy comes out of this smelling like a rose, he could easily become a problem for Putin. The leader of Wagner ( I don't remember how to spell his name) could begin to look to the people the RF as a good replacement for Putin, if he can live long enough. And at the other extreme if he gained a lot of support from the population and the lower ranks of the military. He could stage a coup. "Beware of living in interesting times!" Good discussion Preston! Are you sure you weren't "field grade"?
He needs to stay on the ground floor though.
I'm an old fart, so I'm used to using imperial units. But I understand that the metric system is a far superior system, and I'm willing to learn. It would really help me if you would give me both metric and imperial units when you're talking about distances, weights, and temperatures. That way, I can start to get used to the metric system and eventually make the switch.
And if Ukraine's C/O doesnt occur near Bahkmut, I'm sure we'll hear about how Wagner, alone, with only shovels and telnyashka, held back 60,000 US marines in Bahkmut and even achieved limited territorial gains in the sector.
There’s been an impending Ukrainian counteroffensive for a year now
Ukraine retook Kherson city on November 12 2022, also taking everything Russia had occupied on the western side of the Dniepro. In September, Ukraine retook 12,000 sq km east of Kharkiv, pushing Russia out of the Kharkiv oblast entirely. Yeah, Ukraine has promised counteroffensives for a year, and Ukraine has consistently delivered. Russia is too weak to stop them and too weak to advance more than a few kilometers here or there along the front. And that at disastrous cost in soldiers, ammo, and weapons. O7 from America. Slava Ukraini!
