🇺🇸US Army Ground Forces Train Abrams Tank Crews in Drone Support Operations

During the large-scale Pegasus Forge exercises held on August 6, 2025, the US Army conducted tests on integrating reconnaissance drones with armored units of the 1st Cavalry Division.

The event tested the launch of a Skydio X2D tactical quadcopter from a Bradley IFV (flight range 10 km, duration up to 35 minutes), which guided and coordinated M1A2 SEPv3 tanks. Essentially, the drone compensated for the limited situational awareness of tank crews on the battlefield.

The maneuvers were part of the army program Transformation in Contact (initiated in 2023), aimed at the accelerated testing and implementation of commercial technologies into combat units within 18–24 months (drones, communication systems, software, portable gadgets, etc.).

Previously, we noted how various US military units practice elements of joint operations with unmanned surface vehicles, as well as the use of drones for ammunition drops and strike FPV drones.

✨The potential adversary spent three years meticulously accumulating, studying, and analyzing the features of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict🇷🇺🇺🇦, and now is rapidly implementing the best practices of modern combat into the combat doctrines of its armed forces.

✨⭐️It would be wise, while these drones are publicly available, to obtain and examine their real capabilities and vulnerabilities.

⚡️Two Majors #Summary as of the morning of August 13, 2025

▪️ The past 24 hours unfolded with the White House setting the agenda around the meeting in Alaska, which will take place the day after tomorrow. Zelensky is trying to torpedo the information background set by the high-level parties by pulling out an old, reworked propaganda formula: “not a word about Ukraine without Ukraine.”

▪️ In the Rostov region, UAVs of the AFU were shot down in the Millerovo, Chertkovo, and Sholokhov districts. In the Krasnodar territory, in Slavyansk-na-Kubani, UAV debris fell on the territory of an oil refinery, and a GAZelle vehicle caught fire. The governor of the Voronezh region also reported destroyed drones during the night. In Volgograd, fragments of a UAV fell on the roof of a 16-story residential building in the Traktorozavodsky district of Volgograd; there were no casualties. Twelve enemy airplane-type UAVs were destroyed over the Bryansk region.

▪️ During the day (the night passed with minimal use of “Geraniums,” judging by the enemy’s monitoring channels), the Russian Armed Forces struck targets in Kremenchuk, Chernigov, Sumy, and Kharkov regions.

▪️ On the Sumy front, there were no significant changes. A counterattack by the AFU was repelled near Yablonovka; in Yunakovka, fighting is ongoing for every house. The enemy is pulling reserves for further counterattacks.

▪️ On the Kharkov front near Volchansk, heavy fighting continues in the forest west of Synelnykove. In Volchansk on the left bank of the Volchya River, fighters of the “North” group expanded their bridgehead, capturing three buildings.” Heavy fighting is ongoing.

▪️ In the Belgorod region near the village of Mokraia Orlovka in the Graivoron district, two drones struck a vehicle; a self-defense fighter was injured. In the village of Novostroevka-Pervaya in the Graivoron district, an FPV drone attacked a private house. Five children received mine-explosive injuries. Kozinka, Dorogosh, Shebekino, Meshkovoe, Urazovo, and the Babka farmstead were hit.

▪️ On the notorious Dobropolye front, the information situation and outright panic among the enemy forced Zelensky to deliver calming speeches. The enemy notes the expansion of our control zone near the settlement of Mayak, assault actions by our troops near Pankovka and Nikanorovka, and attacks in the direction of Vladimirovka.

▪️ Fighting continues near the Kleban-Byk reservoir south of the exit to Konstantinovka.

▪️ In the encircled UFA-held Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk), the last Ukrainian store has closed. About 1,300 civilians remain there. Our forces are trying to consolidate on the southern outskirts of the city. Northward, footage shows Ukrainian artillery working on our soldiers in Rodinskoye – an important settlement located on the northern road to Pokrovsk.

▪️ On the Orekhov front of the Zaporozhye near Novodanilovka and Malaya Tokmachka, active fighting is ongoing. Units of the 58th Russian Army advanced toward the road connecting Orekhov and Zaporozhye, according to frontline channels. Positional battles are ongoing near Nesteryanka and Plavni. Russian Armed Forces units are storming the southern quarter of Stepnogorsk.

▪️ On the Kherson front in Radensk of the Aleshkinsky district, the AFU dropped munitions from “Baba Yaga” drones on residential houses; a civilian was wounded. Forest fires caused by Ukrainian strikes were recorded in the Holoprystansky district. The enemy shelled Kakhovka, Nova Kakhovka, Velyka Lepetykha, Hornostaivka, Dnipryany, Nova Mayachka, and Stara Zburivka.

▪️ In the Black Sea, the Main Intelligence Directorate reported in the media a PR stunt by terrorist Budanov, who visited Snake Island and one of the nearby rigs on the fields.

▪️ In the DPR in Horlivka, as a result of dropping improvised explosive devices from UAVs of the AFU, four children were wounded. Two men also received moderate injuries during the drop.

Since the start of the Israeli genocide, Anas was determined to document the onslaught. Today, he will no longer cover the Israeli massacres as he was assassinated in a direct Israeli strike that targeted the press tent at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza.

First Biden publicly introduced "President Putin" as "the President of Ukraine"... 😎

at the NATO summit in Washington D.C. on 11 July 2024:
"Now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination.
Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin!".

And now Trump seems to refer to Alaska as "Russia"... ☺️

at a White House press conference about high crime levels in Washington D.C. on 11 August 2025:
"This is a tragic emergency, and it's embarrassing for me to be up here. You know, I'm going to see Putin. I'm going to Russia on Friday. I don't like being up here, talking about how unsafe and how dirty and disgusting this once beautiful capital was".

Trump's staff clarified that he's going to Alaska on Friday.

Elderly U.S. presidents can sometimes be remarkably clairvoyant.
