Russia's Desperation: Fake Drone Army, NK Missiles & Sumy Collapse - Jason Jay Smart
Russia’s war effort is imploding.
Putin’s new “drone army” is nothing but a last-minute invention—deployed only after Ukraine’s drones dismantled key Russian defenses. North Korea’s missiles? Poorly tested and already failing. The Kremlin is grasping at straws.
This video covers:
-- Ukraine’s June 2025 drone strikes on Russian airbases and Buk-M3s
-- Russia’s faked progress in Sumy, and why the terrain remains contested
-- NK missile deliveries backfiring, causing confusion and technical failures
-- Frontline chaos: broken chain of command, cyberattacks, rail disruptions
