War Time Facts is a collection of precedents that defy traditional military doctrine. This category documents events that have no parallel in the history of warfare — cases that are "firsts in history" and sound too fantastic to be true. Some of these events demonstrate enemy incompetence so profound that it borders on the unbelievable. Each post in this category could be the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster, but in the Russian‑Ukrainian war it’s just another category.
Let’s be honest — instead of “2 Su-57 destroyed simultaneously”, we really wanted to make the headline “2 fifth-generation aircraft destroyed simultaneously”. That would’ve been good clickbait and it would undoubtedly attract attention. But it would be a lie. Although russians stubbornly call their Su-57 a “fifth-generation aircraft”, technically it can’t be one because of […]
Very often our military announce certain events with significant time delays. They do this deliberately for various reasons — including to prevent the enemy from using the information in time. Most likely, that’s why only on April 13, 2026, information became public that drones captured an enemy group, though that assault happened almost a year […]
Unmanned Systems Forces Commander Robert “Magyar” Brovdi reported a fiber-optic drone destroyed helicopter Ka-52 “Alligator”. This is the first such case during the russian-Ukrainian war. Unlike regular FPV drones controlled via radio, a fiber-optic drone has lower speed, worse maneuverability and carries a reduced warhead. This is its payment for resistance to EW interference. The […]
Today the SBU made an official announcement that right at the basing site of Black Sea Fleet remnants in Novorossiysk port, an underwater drone hits submarine 636.3 Varshavyanka. This is the same submarine often mentioned as a carrier of Kalibr cruise missiles. It undoubtedly participated in shelling Ukrainian territory with these missiles. Considering that surface […]
We immediately inform you that we hesitated for some time about which category to assign this publication about the Druzhba pipeline strike. “News”? But it includes several events at once. “Analytics”? Yet there’s no analysis here, only well-known facts. For now, the article is placed in WTF (War Time Facts). The struck Druzhba pipeline remains […]
Fighters from the consolidated sniper unit “Pryvyd” (Ghost) updated the world record for effective sniper rifle range on August 14. The 4000m sniper record marks another milestone in marksmanship, 200 meters beyond the previous achievement. The previous record also belonged to a Ukrainian: SBU sniper Viacheslav Kovalskyi, who eliminated an enemy from 3,800 metres in […]
News about Operation Spiderweb has already flown around the world. All leading media reported the destruction of Russia’s strategic aviation, which they trained people to fear for decades. But as usual, the point here is not that relatively cheap drones managed to process extremely valuable aircraft worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars. The […]
December 2024. Lypci village, Kharkiv region, just north of Kharkiv. This is where humanity witnessed its first drone-only battle — a combat operation conducted entirely by unmanned and robotic systems, with no infantry on the ground. The engagement involved a large number of robotic and unmanned platforms operating simultaneously. In particular, unit deployed dozens of […]
Yesterday in Kursk Oblast, an Ukrainian FPV drone downs Mi-28 attack helicopter. A helicopter’s speed is actually comparable to certain drone types, which already makes an intercept feasible. During takeoff or landing — when the helicopter is slow and committed — the drone gains a clear maneuverability edge on top of that. And unlike a […]
A few hours ago, news broke that the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed A-50 over Krasnodar — another long-range radar detection aircraft. First came rumors, then confirmations appeared in enemy social networks. Our military held a pause, and a bit later it became clear what caused it. They waited for objective data on the fate of […]
