Ukraine has lost quite a number of their krabs to russian suicide drones. Krabs are mobile but they cant defend themselves ukraine doesn't have enough anti air systems

Mostly hit by Lancets which stuff like the Gepard should be able to deal with - albeit that is a slightly simplistic view of the realities of the battlefield.

Mobilising the new 400k soldiers has begun

Russia ram through the previous 300k very quickly it seems

Slightly higher numbers than usual but this is the usual April draft of compulsory military service albeit with a bit of a sick twist this time as the life expectancy of those being drafted is probably pre-determinedly low.

Got to feel sorry for Ukrainian soldiers, Russia apparently send a small group of lads forward, watch them die just to try to find Ukrainian position.
That is basically being treated like your life is completely disposable and worth nothing.
 
Kind of bad optics on that - one thing to "accidentally" down another countries drone in international air space (albeit Russia claims it closed for purposes of the "special operation") another to do recovery operations at the site and/or put a military presence there.

That's assuming Russia care, which they don't. And assuming they have any reputation to protect, which they don't.

If you assume they are in a total war mindset, damaging opposition intelligence sources makes absolute sense. And, once they've done that, recovering that asset serves a few purposes.

Apparently Russian navy ships are at the crash site of the drone, if it will be recovered is enougher question.

Looking at the video the US will have been able to make the decision to self destruct. Doesn't seem like they lost contact, they just knew it wouldn't be able to make it back. Wonder if the plane was damaged...
