These heavy bombers are designed to destroy manpower and equipment, as well as for remote mining. The Vampire UAV, manufactured by Skyfall, has proven itself to be one of the most effective weapons in the Kupiansk direction. Skyfall is one of Ukraine’s largest defense tech companies, producing Vampire bomber drones, various modifications of Shrike FPV drones, P1-SUN, Shahed drone interceptors, communication systems, and components.

DESCRIPTION:
Putin’s Regime as a Criminal Business: Elite Cracks, Siloviki Power Struggles & May 9 Risks | Jason Jay Smart

Jonathan speaks with Jason Smart about why the war benefits Putin’s inner circle as an asset-stripping, profit-driven system, arguing the Putin regime functions as a literal criminal organization and that this distorted incentive structure can make escalation—including risking conflict with NATO—seem rational to insiders. They discuss rising billionaire wealth during the war, large-scale state seizures allegedly funneled to Putin allies, and growing signs of elite fragmentation: oligarch factions, nationalist “Z” voices, selective law enforcement, leaks and “hacks,” arrests and firings tied to loyalty concerns, and a tightening security apparatus. The conversation highlights Rosgvardiya and the FSO’s role in regime protection and monitoring, the possibility that intelligence leaks aim to destabilize the system, and speculation around May 9 targets amid Russian air-defense gaps. The episode also promotes a book release and a fundraiser for Ukrainian drones.
