3:30Ben Meiselas:Wow, all hell is breaking loose as Ukraine just unleashed one of its massive drone swarms. Yet the skies over the Stavropol cry, Krasnodar cry, and these Wildberry logistical facilities engulfed by these black clouds right now. I want to show you this Ukrainian attack drone striking a distribution warehouse at the Wildberry Logistical Facility. This is one of the biggest Russian logistical facilities they are in Nevinomysk area. Take a look at what went down over here. Let's play it.

4:20Ben Meiselas:I'll show you another view of it right here.

4:31Ben Meiselas:Now, in addition to striking this wild berries, it's like their Amazon. It's their big e-commerce company that Ukraine says is used to mass produce logistical support for the Russian army. Let me share this with you as the Ukrainian attack drones strike another distribution, this one located in Krasnodar. Here, play this clip right here.

5:06Ben Meiselas:Now, this is the moment the Ukrainian drones slammed into that facility in Krasnodar. Let's play it.

5:17Ben Meiselas:Now, these drones are not just hitting logistical facilities in Krasnodar or in the Nevinomisk area. Remember that in the Moscow region, a Wildberries logistical facility was hit about two or three days ago. Remember the massive black clouds engulfing Moscow? But then you have these FP2 long-range drones striking these truck convoys. For example, this is in Konar's checkpoint in Crimea. And these Ukrainian drones, the one I showed you the directionally where they were heading at the beginning of this video, slamming into these trucks, which are used, again, for a variety of reasons. And Ukraine says also for logistical support for the Russian military.

6:08Ben Meiselas:Let's play this clip.

6:27Ben Meiselas:Here you have this Russian anti-drone mobile air defense group right here, scattering in all directions after encountering Ukrainian Hornet strike drones. Hat tip to special care, Sean Cat, one of the best in the game for aggregating. Here, play this clip.

7:18Ben Meiselas:Now, just to get you a sense of the degree, the frequency of these strikes, take a look at these kamikaze drone attacks on this convoy of Russian fuel strikes on the Crimean highway. Just continue to play for you some of the B-roll over here so you can just see for yourself the Ukrainian military specifically, their special unmanned special forces releasing this video right here. I'll show you another view of it. Keep playing the B-roll. This is the land corridor to Crimea with the destroyed Russian logistic vehicles on the side of the road right here. This right here from the Luhansk region. Again, you'll see these Ukrainian drones in action.

8:09Ben Meiselas:Let's play it right over here.

8:16Ben Meiselas:Now, in addition to the Krasnodar Russia Wildberry logistical hub on fire after the drones struck it hard, again, you see it right there. Also look at the Russian-occupied Maripol area right over here. You can see a major fire breaking out there as well. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian unmanned system forces struck eight separate Russian air defense assets overnight. Six were hit in Russia's Krasnodar Krai, two in the occupied Zeprishia region. You can see right over here, again, the Ukrainian unarmed special forces releasing this video over and over again. Keep on just playing the B-roll over here for a moment.

9:10Ben Meiselas:Also, we'll show you in the Pokrovsk direction, you'll see operators of the 59th separate Begrade, the step predators methodically identifying and eliminating enemy personnel. hat tip, Max26, also one of the best that there is open source grab in this incredible footage. Max does incredible work, support Max work. During July 1st to July 21st, you can see right over here, they say the average Russian service member's life on the front lines, once they're put on the front lines is like less than two minutes right there. I'll keep showing the B-roll over there. More border guards over at the Steel Border Brigade in the North Slabizansk and Kirk's directions, destroying two guns and mortars right here.

10:07Ben Meiselas:You can see what's going down over there. You can take a look right here. Maripool, some more logistical equipment being shot as well. Looking at what's going on in the Zevskolovsk-Lenegrad cry area, production of the polymer materials in the Ladago Industrial Park catching fire. Over there, you can play that as B-roll. Take a look at this footage right over here of more Russian logistics being hit by these hornets. Show you this B-roll over here as well.

11:54Ben Meiselas:Big news yesterday as well. You had the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Cain, confirming that a Ukrainian Air Force F-16 shot down a Russian Su-35 in aerial battle right here. And that's big as you're seeing the Ukrainians fly these jets and they've been engaging with the Russian Su-35s in air-to-air combat. Let's play it. They scale their own capabilities. It ranges from their surface-to-air capabilities to their air-to-air capabilities. I'll note that recently we had the first air-to-air kill where a Ukrainian F-16 shot down a Russian fighter. So I think their ability to scale their layered defense has come along a long way over the past couple years with the help and assistance of many.

12:49Ben Meiselas:You take a look right here, and I'll just show you B-roll of this Ukrainian attack drone striking Russia's Kirk's. Kalino Air Base earlier this morning hitting a MiG-29 and then the Russian Panseer that failed to protect the airfield. You can show the B-roll right here in Kharkiv. Oblast, you'll see here a Ukrainian MiG-29 Fulcrum dropping a pair of GBU-39 SDBs through the roof of a Russian drone base. Just look at this B-roll of this Russian drone base right here. Three, two, one. You see that Russian base just being absolutely obliterated right there. Also, big news in terms of a shakeup in the Ukrainian military.

13:42Ben Meiselas:General Tsaritsky has been discharged as the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He will be replaced by General Mikhailo Drapati. And this is big news, folks, because you may remember that Zelensky fired Mikhail Fedorov, 30-year-old, beloved figure Fedorov. He was the guy who basically pioneered the drone army, the unmanned special forces. And so Fedorov was a beloved figure. So you had General Tsariski, kind of part of the old guard in Kiev, commander in chief, basically was threatening that he was going to bring down the military, you know, that he was either him or it was going to be Fedorov.

14:33Ben Meiselas:And so Zelensky fired Fedorov, thinking that that was going to appease the old guard in the military, Tsaritsky. But then the people of Ukraine started protesting. Fedorov, many people said, this guy could become the next president of Ukraine. This guy could lead an anti-corruption party in the near future and potentially challenge Zelensky. And so Zelensky heard what was going on in these protests. And to his credit, he adapted to what was going on. And Zelensky fired the commander-in-chief who had him fire Fedorov. Zelensky is now going to give Fedorov a top job. But then the commander in chief job has now gone to another very popular figure, Mikhailo Drapipyati.

15:23Ben Meiselas:And Fedorov congratulated Mikhailo. And, you know, to Zelensky's credit, he heard the people of Ukraine protesting him. Four days in a row, he was being protested. And Zelensky made that move. Now, I just want to share this with you as well. Share this footage. I'll show you a B-roll of this. a Ukrainian fighter jet striking down in the air, a Russian Iranian Shahid drone. Take a look at this right here for yourself. Wow, wow, wow. Powerful stuff. You have that going on in Ukraine and Russia. You have the Middle East has been lit on fire right now as Trump has escalated there. The Iran has responded by striking targets in the Arab nation neighbors.
