Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has long conjured images of war that Europe thought had been consigned to the history books. Several Ukrainian military units have shared videos of these drones in action in recent days. Ukraine’s 108th separate mountain assault battalion shared another video over the weekend, saying that its drone pilots had flown the “dragon drones” over Russian positions. Video purportedly shows a Ukrainian "dragon drone" shared on Telegram by Zelenskyy's chief adviser Andriy Yermak on Monday. They also include at least one instance of the fiery drones being used in Russia’s border Kursk region, which Ukrainian troops invaded last month, he said.

The video, released Wednesday by the Kremlin, showed the Russian president was not happy with news from the southern region of Kursk. The head of the city of Rylsk – some distance from the most advanced Ukrainian units – said Friday more than half the population of 15,000 had left. An expeditionary forceUkrainian troops, even if reinforced, cannot expect to occupy several hundred square kilometers of Russian territory. But holding a large chunk Russian territory is beyond their capacity and probably beyond their goal. “The unfolding events demonstrate the extent to which Moscow has deeply depended on sanctuary in Russian territory to wage its war against Ukraine,” Barros told CNN.

☆ Peculiar fossil reveals oldest toothless bird from 120 million years ago
  + stars: | 2024-03-08 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
CNN —A peculiar fossil has helped scientists discover an unusual bird that lived among the dinosaurs 120 million years ago, and the find is changing the way researchers think about avian evolution. Enantiornithines are known as “opposite birds” because they had a shoulder joint feature that greatly differs from the ones modern birds have. “Before Imparavis, toothlessness in this group of birds was known to occur around 70 million years ago,” Clark said. When Jingmai O’Connor, the Field Museum’s associate curator of fossil reptiles, visited the Shandong museum’s collections a few years ago, the fossil caught her attention. While modern birds have fused forelimb digits, enantiornithines still had independent movement in the “little fingers” on their wings.

☆ Surprisingly Weak Ukrainian Defenses Help Russian Advance

But there’s another reason the Kremlin’s troops are advancing in the area: poor Ukrainian defenses.

☆ Russia's defensive line is 'bending but not breaking' after Ukraine breached it, analyst says
  + stars: | 2023-09-25 | by ( Tom Porter | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
But a Finnish military analyst said that so far Russia's defenses had not been broken. The push from Ukraine is part of a gruelling attempt to defeat Russia's formidable "Surovikin line" of defences and disrupt its access to occupied Crimea. That was the case in late 2022 when Ukraine was able to recapture vast amounts of northeastern Ukraine after routing Russian forces around Kharkiv. AdvertisementAdvertisementThere is debate among military analysts about whether Russia would be able to mount a fightback if Ukraine does achieve a decisive breakthrough. However, he said that "incompetence is a big factor which can have significant effects, at least locally" referring to the missteps and miscalculations that have been a recurrent problem for Russia's military during the invasion.

☆ Russia Bombards Ukraine, Killing at Least 1: Live Updates

Destruction near the village of Robotyne, in the Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine, late last month. For their part, Ukrainian military officials refrained from making any sweeping claims. Ukrainians forces enjoyed surprising successes earlier in the war by holding Kyiv, the capital, and repelling Russian forces at the end of March last year. The Ukrainian military aims to reclaim land in the south and east of the country. To reach that city, Ukrainian forces would have to fully break through the defenses around Verbove and then breach additional layers.

☆ Ukraine’s Forces Try to Punch 2nd Hole in Russian Lines

Ukrainian forces, churning slowly forward after breaching Russia’s initial defensive lines in the occupied south, are turning their attention to breaking through in another heavily defended patch of territory. In recent days, military analysts say, the Ukrainian Army has been battling to break through Russian positions near a village called Verbove, about six miles east of the village of Robotyne, which its fighters retook last week. The Black Bird Group, a volunteer organization that analyzes satellite imagery and social media content from the battlefield, said Monday that Ukrainian soldiers had cleared obstacles to reach Russian infantry fighting positions on the outskirts of Verbove. But analysts said that does not necessarily mean they have secured the territory, in an offensive that has met fierce resistance and made progress in small steps and at a high cost in casualties and equipment.

☆ Jack Dorsey criticizes Elon Musk's decision to rebrand the Birdwatch feature to Community Notes, saying it's the 'most boring Facebook name ever'

Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey failed to see eye-to-eye on the name of a Twitter feature that flags misleading posts. Musk renamed Birdwatch to Community Notes but Dorsey said it was "the most boring Facebook name." It was first piloted in 2021, but Musk said on Saturday he wanted to rename Birdwatch to "Community Notes." Musk replied: "As judged by the people of Twitter via Community Notes (formerly Birdwatch)." "Community notes is the most boring Facebook name ever," Dorsey said in response to Musk.
☆ Twitter suspended comedian Kathy Griffin's account after she changed her name to Elon Musk to make fun of him

Comedian Kathy Griffin's Twitter account was suspended after she impersonated Elon Musk. Griffin now joins a range of several celebrities and figures who had their Twitter handles suspended for parodying Musk. Any name change at all from a verified account would lead to "temporary loss of verified checkmark," he added. In a similar case, former NFL punter Chris Kluwe had his verified account suspended when he changed its details to match Musk's profile. Too many bird groups fighting each other internally other at Twitter," Musk wrote.
