I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the six-hundred-fifty-fourth day of the war.
Day 654: Dec 09
Today, there are a lot of new developments in the Avdiivka direction.
Here, Russian forces changed their plan of attack in the northern part of the region. Up until this point, the main target of the Russian forces was Berdychi because by reaching this settlement, Russians would be able to establish tight fire control over the supply roads and put Ukrainian forces in Avdiivka into an operational encirclement. Even though some Russian sources continue claiming that Russian forces breached the Ukrainian defense in Stepove and are about to finish the job, the reality is quite different. The abundant footage released by the Ukrainian side shows that Ukrainians are firmly controlling the ground and are destroying Russian assault units the moment they cross the rails. Sometimes combat footage confirms that Russians managed to reach the first houses, but hiding in the basements in hopes of being evacuated can hardly be considered a stable foothold.
After seeing minimal to no gains in the Berdychi direction, the Russian commanders were forced to change their operational goals. Based on the fact that Russians recently shifted their focus a bit to the south, it became clear that Russians decided to decrease the scale of the encirclement operation because their new target became the Khimik train station. This station is located just south of the main Ukrainian fortification – the chemical plant. The goal here is to move along the residential area towards the center of Avdiivka and cut off Ukrainian forces in the southern part of the settlement. A successful Russian advance in this region would indeed be catastrophic for Ukrainians because all Ukrainian supply roads are moving exactly through this region. The new Russian plan of downsizing their offensive operation to match the amount of resources available is actually quite clever, however, it doesn’t mean that the execution will be smooth or easy.
The biggest weakness of the Russian forces in this case is their logistics. By choosing this vector of attack, the Russian commanders basically forced their soldiers to use some of the riskiest and most exposed routes. The roads have already become notorious among Russian soldiers because they are under Ukrainian ATGM fire control from the chemical plant and also drones. Even if Russian soldiers travel by foot, which is mostly how they travel in this region, there is virtually no possibility for them to accumulate forces in front of Ukrainian positions for an easier and quicker attack. So, they cannot copy the tactic that they used along the railways. Ukrainians, in turn, have a dense residential area and a small forest at their disposal, and they are also within a hundred meters from their main base.
Since the area is split into two parts by the water reservoir, Russian forces opened two directions of attack: towards the residential area and the water pumping station. When it comes to the station, the results were devasting to the Russians. Ukrainian fighters from the famous 110th mechanized brigade released one of the most brutal and graphic combat footage of the aftermath. Since Russian soldiers had to assault in the open, many of them did not even reach the pumping station. The drones quickly detected them and started hunting them down together with mortar teams. As a result, there was no intact corpse on the ground. The fire was precise, and virtually no one survived the explosions. Those that survived were doomed anyway.
Because the supporting attack failed, Russian forces in the residential area could not develop their operation due to crossfire, even though they achieved initial success and got a foothold in the first four lines of houses. After the attack was stopped by the defenders on the ground, Ukrainian fighters from the Khorne Group were redeployed from Stepove to this region to clear it. Ukrainians conducted intense aerial reconnaissance, identified all houses where Russians established their presence, and sent a tank to demolish them. The tank got to the position within several minutes, and in coordination with drone pilots who were helping to navigate and correct the fire, they unleashed fire on Russian positions. The video shows how some Russian soldiers are fleeing the area to escape the fire, possibly completely leaving the settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make money off of drone photography?
A lack of products to solve the problems inherent in flying drones is the biggest obstacle for photographers looking to make money from them. You can enjoy the experience by using quality equipment and software.
There are also insurance and liability concerns, so many photographers prefer to take pictures from the ground. You could get paid for your efforts if you use a totally new method of photographing images.
Drones can capture light very much in the same way as video cameras. You can create incredible photos with the same technology.
Companies are already making significant progress in the creation of high-quality aerial photos. We have already discussed DJI & GoPro. However, more companies are entering the space.
Although these cameras were designed for aerial photography they can also be used on the ground. The major manufacturers have invested heavily in the development of their imaging technologies.
This means that you'll eventually be able to buy a drone that shoots 4K videos and takes incredible photographs. This is possible. DJI is one of the companies that has started to release higher-resolution Phantom series drones.
DJI's Inspire 2 recently came out with a 12-megapixel sensor, capable of shooting at 5120x3456 Pixels. You can also record RAW files at 30 frames per minute, 8-bit format.
You can certainly make money from drone photos.
How do you fly your drone?
You need to practice flying a drone. Even though drones are very stable compared to regular aircraft, it takes time for pilots to gain experience. We recommend that you practice indoors, or close to your house, for beginners.
To fly a drone you will need to have three fundamental skills. These are hovering, takingoff, and landing.
Take Off
You simply lift the drone up into the air by taking off. Once the drone is moving upward, hold down the button on the controller. Once the drone is at a certain height stop pressing the button.
Hovering
Hovering is a way to keep the drone still in midair. To hover, hold down the right or left trigger while pressing on the throttle. By holding down both triggers, you can tilt the drone to move it.
Landing
Landing is the act of returning the drone safely to earth. To land, release your throttle and tilt the controller down toward the ground. The drone will slow down and eventually land.
Flying your drone is a matter of comfort. Be careful not to crash into any object.
Is it OK to fly a drone at night?
Drones are growing in popularity every day. As well as providing us with amazing aerial shots of our homes and businesses, drones are also useful for surveying large areas, delivering goods, and capturing video footage of events such as sporting matches. However, drones are still subject to very few regulations. Some states have banned drones entirely, while others have placed restrictions on where they can be used.
Drone flying in daylight hours is quite safe. But, at night there are risks. You and other pilots could be in danger if you fly a drone at night. This is because it is difficult to spot obstacles and hazards, so errors made by the pilot could lead to an accident.
Drones become more popular. This means that it is essential to learn how drones can be safely operated. There are two main types currently: fixed-wing or rotary-wing drones. Fixed-wing drones tend to be smaller and easier than rotary-wing models. A fixed-wing model typically has four propellers whereas a model with a rotary wing has only one.
To avoid accidents, you should familiarize yourself with the local laws concerning drone usage. It is also important that you ensure that your drone is within your direct line of sight at all time. Make sure that your drone comes with lights. This will make it easier to identify potential dangers. Protect your camera lens from damage if you intend to take photos. Also, it is advisable to wear protective goggles whenever you are flying your drone.
Night flying drones poses many dangers. These include collisions with power lines or trees and even buildings. Drones also have the potential to become lost, or even fall out of sight. Avoid obstacles and stay close to your drone. Drones also are susceptible to sudden weather changes or wind gusts. These factors can disrupt your drone's flight and cause it to crash land.
Although drones are becoming increasingly popular, they come with potential health risks. The drone's noise can damage the hearing and cause headaches. Drone vibrations can cause serious damage to the human body. You could also face legal action and fines for flying drones without an operator licence.
You can prevent accidents by following these guidelines. It is important to keep your drone in your direct view when you fly it. If you are flying near airports, make sure that you obey any restrictions imposed by airport authorities. It is important to be cautious when flying drones over water. This increases the chance of a collision.

Which drone is best for beginners?
It is easy to fly a drone, and the best drones for beginners. These include drones equipped with an FPV (first-person view) camera, allowing users to control the drone via a smartphone app remotely.
Some quadcopters are designed specifically for aerial photography. A multirotor model might be a better choice if you want to explore advanced features, such as obstacle avoidance or autonomous flight mode.
There are two types in price of drones: cheap drones under $100, and more expensive drones over $300.
The cheapest models often have limited range and battery life. But the best models are more reliable and can fly longer distances.
The majority of beginners prefer to start with the cheaper options, as they are more easy to use and manage. You might want to spend hours flying your drone, so you might look into purchasing a more expensive model.
Statistics
Compared to the old days of the Phantom, this drone is super small, but it will likely require you to check a bag, the way a Mini 3 Pro could easily stow away in an oversized pocket. (thedronegirl.com)
A grey card is just a piece of thick paper that is a specific shade of grey (18%), which will be the foundation on which we choose our color temperature. (dronegenuity.com)

Here's proof: according to an analysis of FAA drone registration numbers by drone market research and data group Drone Industry Insights, DJI had a 76.8% market share in the U.S. (thedronegirl.com)
Again, no stabilization is applied, and the 50% throttle stick position cuts the power to the motors. (photographypro.com)
It is possible to keep a drone at a safe distance if it becomes part of your self. The drone becomes an extension of you and you lose sight its physical boundaries.
You can immerse yourself in your surroundings without worrying about the drone's next move.
There is also a psychological benefit to flying close to the ground. Flying close to the ground gives you a greater sense of control and makes it easier to feel connected to nature.
There are downsides, however. Flying near the ground means we are exposed to wind and weather conditions that could damage the drone. How far can you fly from the ground?
It depends on the drone type you have. If you are trying to film a landscape or capture aerial footage, a good rule of thumb is to stay at least 500 feet above the ground.
You might keep your cityscape at 1,000 feet if you're filming it. You can avoid trees and buildings that could block your view.
Drones are more sensitive to low-light conditions. You can decrease the time spent hovering if you fly in darkness by lowering your altitude.
Also, ensure your area is clear from any obstructions, such as power lines or traffic signs.
It may be a good idea to fly during the day, rather than at night. This will help you avoid reflections from street lights and shadows.
A second thing to consider is the drone's actual size. The farther away the drone must be from ground, the larger the drone. A large quadcopter, for example, requires a minimum height requirement of 300 feet.
The golden hour is the best time to capture drone footage.
This is the time period between 3pm and 6pm. This time you will have the most visibility from direct overhead sunshine.
It's also known as the "magic hour,' and it's ideal for capturing beautiful images.
It is best to avoid flying your drone after sunset or sunrise. These times can result in poor quality footage.
These tips have been given to you. Now it's time for you to create amazing drone videos.
