Russia and Ukrainians use of Mavic drones (Chinese manufacturing). How Russia buys equipment through middlemen. First Person Drones (FPV) are cheap "striking" drones that have had a big impact on war. Cutting supplies of Russian logistics.

HIMARS and other types of precise weapons 59:30 - Question - What do you think of Russia's threat to use nuclear weapons and how does that impact Ukrainian morale?
