Russia Pounds Ukraine With Over 300 Drones, Killing 1 in Odesa
Newsmax ^ | July 19, 2025 | AP

Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine overnight into Saturday with hundreds of drones, killing at least one person, part of a stepped-up bombing campaign that has dashed hopes for a breakthrough in efforts to end the more than 3-year-old war.

Russia has been intensifying its long-range attacks on Ukrainian cities. It now often batters Ukraine with more drones in a single night than it did during some entire months in 2024, and analysts say the barrages are likely to escalate. On July 8, Russia unleashed more than 700 drones — a record.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said it shot down 71 Ukrainian drones overnight into Saturday. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that 13 drones were shot down as they approached the Russian capital.

And the beating goes on
just like my love everlasting
and the beating goes on
and still moving strong, on and on

Do you ever wonder
That to win, somebodys got to lose
Just like fishing in the ocean
They'll always be someone new

And the beating goes on

Seems ineffective.

———-
They nailed Ukie weapons depots and port facilities. All have little activity at 2 AM. The bigger question is how they obtain intelligence, Odessa has been Russian since Katherine the Great established it.

Vlad has little interest in killing fellow Slavs, and Odessa is full of loyal Russians.
When you have time, pull up Russian resistance in Odessa, search non western MSM.

We gave the Ukes 31 Abrams tanks. Because of their ineptitude, only four remain. Some are displayed in Red Square.

300 drones to kill one person. Are those really the super weapons they are touted as being?

Hitting military targets and only causing one death could be an indication of pinpoint efficiency...
