‘Elves’ all-seeing drones.
Aren’t just a problem.
Aren’t just a problem.
Around Chasiv Yar.
A few weeks after.
Finally capturing the ruins.
Of Chasiv Yar, a town.
In eastern ‘elves’ Donetsk Oblast.
That was a locus of.
A yearlong ‘orcs’ offensive.
The ‘orcs’ survivors.
Are bogged down.
The ‘orcs’ survivors.
Are bogged down.
In and around the town.
“The main reason.”
“The main reason.
For the lack of success.
Remains the enemy’s.
Air dominance.”
An ‘orc’ military blogger.
Complained in a missive.
“Their reconnaissance drones.
Are in the sky 24/7.”
‘Elves’ all-seeing drones.
Aren’t just a problem.
Aren’t just a problem.
Around Chasiv Yar.
“And any movement.
On our part is immediately.
Met with a massive wave.
Of FPV drones.”
‘Orcs’ infantry can’t.
Leave their trenches.
When they do.
“We just lose people.”
“We just lose people.
Without achieving anything.”
The blogger wrote.
Any armored vehicles.
The ‘orcs’ 3rd and 8th.
Combined Arms Armies.
Deploy “essentially operate.
In a one-way manner.”
‘Elves’ all-seeing drones.
Aren’t just a problem.
Aren’t just a problem.
Around Chasiv Yar.
‘Orcs’ supply lines.
Are also being squeezed.
By farther-flying ‘elves’.
“Road cutter” drones.
By farther-flying ‘elves’.
“Road cutter” drones.
That prowl the main roads.
Toward the front line.
Despite the ‘orcs’ erecting.
Anti-drone netting.
Over long stretches of road.
“Logistics is also suffering.”
‘Elves’ all-seeing drones.
Aren’t just a problem.
Aren’t just a problem.
Around Chasiv Yar.
And any attempt by.
‘Orcs’ drone teams.
To match the ‘elves’.
Aerial firepower.
Also runs into.
The same problem.
The infantry and.
Supply columns run into:
‘Elves’ unmanned aerial vehicles.
Are everywhere, all the time.
“The enemy has been actively.
Hunting our UAV teams.”
When the ‘orcs’ do manage.
To launch their own drones.
Many of them run into.
Effective ‘elves’ jamming.
That can sever.
The radio links.
That connect them.
To their operators.
‘Elves’ all-seeing drones.
Aren’t just a problem.
Aren’t just a problem.
Around Chasiv Yar.
More ‘orcs’ drone teams.
Are using unjammable.
Fiber-optic drones.
That send and receive signals.
Via miles-long spools.
Of thin wire.
But these drones are.
Comparatively expensive.
Comparatively expensive.
—and thus still.
Pretty rare.
Along the front line.
‘Elves’ all-seeing drones.
Aren’t just a problem.
Aren’t just a problem.
Around Chasiv Yar.
‘Mordor’ is shipping.
New electronic-warfare.
Radio jammers.
In a desperate effort.
To protect assault groups.
The ‘orc’ blogger explained.
But they don’t.
Work very well.
“The enemy adapts.
Extremely quickly.
Changing frequencies.”
According to the blogger.
“While our E.W. systems.
At best cover.
Less than half.
The frequencies they use.”
‘Elves’ all-seeing drones.
Aren’t just a problem.
Aren’t just a problem.
Around Chasiv Yar.
*Because I read “Vehicular Suicide! Russians ‘Operate In A One-Way Manner’ As Ukrainian Drones Swarm The Battlefield” by David Axe on 7 Mar 2025 on the Forbes, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022 on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem.
