Hudson War Mapping - Reporting on the Ukraine War

There are rumours that Russian/Chechen Akhmat commander Ramzan Kadyrov was killed today. Waiting for confirmation.

This is a great example of how Russian glide bombs have been the closest thing to a wunderwaffen in this war. Because they are dropped in such overwhelming number on Ukrainian strong points, they couple perfectly with Russian infiltrate-and-assault tactics. It simply becomes untenable for AFU to hold positions because they are absolutely bombarded. According to the own AFU’s general staff, Russia often uses in excess of 300+ glide bombs per day. This is an absolutely brutal instrument of attrition that cannot be understated.

Here's an example showing how insanely intense the Russian KAB glide-bomb strikes on the Dobropillya direction are right now. In one of these forests west of the village of Novohryshyne, half of the forest is now pure KAB crater, while the other one also has over a dozen craters. Any Ukrainian fortifications or positions here are now wiped out, which allows the infiltration of small groups of Russian soldiers to take place.

Apologies, it likely wasn’t a strike UAV. It could’ve even been a non-military drone. Sorry for assuming and thanks to AMK for pointing out my error.

All clear.

No major threat. This is one or two stray Russian Geran-2 UAVs at max.

Unconfirmed reports Russian strike UAVs to Vilnius, Lithuania.

The large scale strike UAV attack is STILL ongoing.

As reported by AMK Mapping, Russia launched a huge Geran-2 long range strike UAV attack overnight in Ukraine. It is likely that at least some of the motive for launching an 800-strong UAV attack was to offload Geran-2 strike UAVs which are now superseded in quality and production by Geran-3, Geran-4 and Geran-5 jet-powered strike UAVs. The primary targets involved petrol stations and railway stations across many oblasts of Ukraine. It must be kept in mind that these attacks, although less directly, contribute much like battlefield weapons to overall attrition that builds up on Ukraine and degrades its ability to fight over time.

An interesting fact: At its largest extent, the Russian controlled area of Northern Donetsk oblast spanned from Ridkodub to Svyatohirsk and Drobysheve, at over 700 square kilometres. Now, this same area contains only 358 square kilometres of definitive Russian control.

Updated map showing the approximate missile flight routes during tonight's large-scale missile attack on Ukraine. The following was launched: ~7 Kalibr cruise missiles ~10 Iskander-M ballistic missiles ~4 Kn-23 ballistic missiles ~2 Oniks supersonic cruise missiles ~23 missiles in total. 1-2 Kalibrs were shot down. All of the missiles of other types impacted.

Fire burning at the residential building struck by a wayward intercepted Kalibr.

Heartbreaking 💔

An intercepted Kalibr cruise missile fell on a residential building in Odesa City. There may be some bad news in the morning.

2 more Iskander-Ms on Zatoka. The bridge seems to be under attack.

Explosions

2 Iskander SRBMs to Zatoka, Odessa oblast

4 Kalibr cruise missiles to Mykolaiv. Heed all warnings!!
