Ukraine appears to have used a DJI Mavic 3 drone and smaller DIY FPV drones in the Sudan attacks, mirroring drone tactics used in the fight against Russia. An example of how these tactics are inevitably going to be exported globally.

Unfortunately, the 33-year-old railway employee mentioned here in the excerpt died in hospital this morning from the severity of her wounds. Three railway employees have been killed by Russian attacks this week in Sumy Oblast alone.

I've been matching up Russian-posted drone videos of attacks on apparent civilian targets to incidents announced by Ukrainian sources in my database. Like in this case form April, where a Russian Telegram channel posted video of FPV drone attack on a man on a moped: t.me/osvedomitell...

On May 2nd, a Russian milblogger bragged about their constant drone attacks on Kherson minibuses, claiming "Collateral damage is minimal." According to official Ukrainian sources - which use the same photos - those May 2nd minibus attacks killed 2 civilians and wounded 11. t.me/osvedomitell...

Last November, Russian FPV drones killed two civilians - and their dog - in the Kharkiv area, who were explicitly carrying white flags to demonstrate their noncombatant status. Despicable. Warning: Telegram link is graphic. (Wonder who shot and uploaded the drone footage). t.me/prokuratura_...

NEWSFLASH: Russian drone injures two in NATO member Romania. The drone crashed into a residential building in Galați, marking the first confirmed civilian injuries from a Russian strike on NATO territory since the full-scale invasion.

This marks the first confirmed civilian injuries by a Russian drone directly on NATO territory since the start of the full-scale invasion.

Romanian civilian infrastructure has been hit by a Russian drone. If that happened four years ago, there'd be a public outcry. Instead both US & UK keep lifting sanctions off Russia, despite intensified civilian violence.

Russian FPV drones twice targeted a clearly-marked UN humanitarian aid convoy - and a Russian milblogger even approvingly posted the footage on Telegram while claiming (falsely) that the aid vehicles were a legitimate target, before later deleting it.

If you’re wondering about my methodology for creating this map of targeted attacks on civilians with small drones, here’s an explainer: little-flying-robots.ghost.io/targeted-dro...

Targeted attacks on civilians with small drones are growing rapidly around the world, with devastating consequences. I am mapping a selection of these attacks here, and will be regularly adding new entries. Have a look: map.faineg.com/public/index...

This is almost as alarming as learning that there were only 10 DOD employees involved in civilian harm reduction.

'The Congolese military said Sun that it shot down a drone belonging to the Rwandan army in the E DRC. …The statement said the drone was carrying out an “offensive” mission targeting both Congolese military positions and local civilian populations.' www.aa.com.tr/en/africa/dr...

Yes, there’s a lot of work we could be doing on the civilian side with this tech.

That was a pretty cool and interesting video. A 77 year old Ukrainian woman was seen hobbling along a road using two canes, moving slowly. She was observed by a Ukrainian drone. They then sent a ground drone to her location, because there were Russians in the area. She was transported to safety.
