Experimental All Robot Ground Attack without human infantry

Ukraine has revealed how it destroyed a Russian frontline position without a single soldier being on the ground, thanks to an all-robot offensive. 

The attack on a Russian position north of the embattled Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, eastern Ukraine, saw the nation's 13th National Guard Brigade Khartiya launch around 50 unmanned aerial vehicles. 

The five-hour attack, believed to be the first of its kind, left several Russian corpses in its wake, and has now led to other Ukrainian units planning similar missions. 

Lt. Andriy Kopach, who specialises in land drones, told the Wall Street Journal that as the early morning assault began, Ukrainian troops knelt in deep snow to release five unmanned ground vehicles at different spots several miles from the front-line to prevent crossing signals and confusing the robots. 

These five ground vehicles were mounted with massive machine guns and ammunition belts. 

Video footage showed the ground vehicles traipsing across snow-covered land near Kharkiv. They were assisted by a swarm of first-person-view (FPV) drones, including one mounted with an assault rifle and many that dropped explosives, as they approached enemy lines. 

All of this was coordinated from a command post near the frontline. 

Video footage showed several Ukrainian soldiers sitting in a command post in front of dozens of screens, on which real-time battle information was relayed to them from the swarm of land and air drones at their disposal. 

One clip showed a mobile land drone driving towards a Russian bunker during the battle and detonating itself.

The Khartiya brigade also revealed it was working on several more specialist land drones, including a mine-planter and what appears to be a mounted and modified claymore-carrier.

On the front of the apparent claymore-carrying drone reads 'к противнику' - Russian for 'to the enemy', a close translation of the famous phrase on the mines: 'FRONT TOWARD ENEMY.' 

Kopach told the newspaper that the attack was an experiment for a potential path to future wars where no human beings have to be on the ground. 

'It gave us understanding on how we needed to modify the drones,' he said, adding that they needed to improve the suspension systems.  

He added that international companies and governments have also reached out to discuss the December attack, which he said highlighted its significance. 

'Then I was thinking, yes, it was really massive, really special,' he said. 'It was the first step of the new war.'

British ISIS Fighter "Hungry Hamza" Moans about missing fast food

A British ISIS fighter in Syria admitted that he is now 'bearing the brunt' of his mistakes as he languishes in a tuberculosis-ridden jail under the Syrian Democratic Front (SDF).

Hamza Parvez, from London, was the first Briton to publicly admit his allegiance to the Islamic State in 2014, and was dubbed 'Hungry Hamza' when he posted on social media about missing fast food.

From a cell of some two dozen prisoners in al Hasekah, northeastern Syria, he told Sky News that 'a lot of mistakes were made' and that he was 'bearing the brunt of those mistakes'.

Parvez, who has been held since U.S.-backed coalition forces ousted ISIS from its strongholds in 2019, gave a chilling response when asked about his involvement in the group's atrocities.

Asked whether he took part, he 'grinned' coyly: 'I can't say. Just take my smile.'

Parvez acknowledged that the group 'did stuff to terrorize the world' and said he does not 'defend' its actions: 'We had one chance, and we didn't do exactly as it should be done.'

The Londoner left his home in 2014 and became one of the first Britons to join the terror group as it took over parts of Syria and Iraq. He surrendered to Kurdish forces after ISIS were crushed in 2019, and was transferred to a prison in Syria.

Parvez is today held in the Panorama Prison, still under the control of the SDF following the lightning offensive by HTS and other opposition groups in December to tackle the Assadist regime.

Sky News reported from Syria that the prison remains guarded by armed checkpoints and thick bomb blast walls topped with razor wire. 

A senior Kurdish soldier from the SDF told the outlet that attacks by the last vestiges of ISIS have 'doubled' since the fall, with swathes of the country still contested.

Hamza Parvez is among around 10,000 alleged ISIS fighters still locked up in northern Syria, as of February 2025.

Many were captured on the battlefield as ISIS fell apart in 2019, later moved to 28 jails in the SDF-controlled regions.

Parvez, then 26, was stripped of his British citizenship and left in prison after surrendering to Kurdish forces.

His family urged the government to reconsider.

'If he needs to be punished for his crime then so be it,' a relative told MailOnline at the time.

'But we want him to be prosecuted here so he gets a fair trial. Also if he goes to prison in Britain, at least we can visit him.'

Muhammad Aleen, 33, from Canada, told Sky News during the visit to Panorama Prison that he was forced to fight with ISIS, claiming 'we have zero rights' detained in Syria.

'This is not justice,' he said. 'We've just been left here... None of us are a threat to our country.' 

Alex Crawford reported for Sky News that 'disease is rife' inside the prison, and said there was an outbreak of tuberculosis in the prison when they visited.

ISIS also gave out few luxuries to its jihadi fighters.

Parvez said he had lost nearly five stone while fighting for ISIS, and criticized the group over how they distributed food. 

He appeared on an ISIS recruitment video after joining the jihadis in 2014, telling British Muslims to follow his example, but was mocked online for moaning about having to give up his favourite KFC and Nando's meals.

He told the BBC's Quentin Sommerville at the time: 'I didn't know there was something waiting for me like that. Most foreign fighters say 'We would never have come if we had know the realities of ISIS'.'

He added: 'Many kids passed away from malnutrition... I blame ISIS for it.'

Somerville said Parvez 'lied extensively' during their interview and the full extent of his crimes are unlikely to be uncovered.

He questioned Parvez on why he didn't just leave the group if he hated it so much.

Parvez said: 'There was many times where I thought time to pack up and leave and there's many times I did try to pack up and leave but the reality was that it wasn't as easy as it sounds.

'It's a small group of very big fish [in ISIS] which make all the decisions for all the people.'

Hamas Deliberately Attacked and Executed Peace Activists on October 7


Hamas Deliberately Targeted Pro-Gaza Peace Activists For Slaughter on October 7th

Hamas stole a list of women peace activists from Kibbutz Be’eri and targeted them for slaughter.

The same lefties on college campuses and pro-terror Democrat activists will all meet the same end if the jihadis prevail. And the left in Israel is even worse.

On 4.10 Shaked’s mother and aunt went to a peace conference with other women from Beeri. On 7.10, Hamas invaded the kibbutz with a list of the conference participants. They went house to house murdering or kidnapping each one. Hamas wanted to murder anyone who supports peace.

You will never understand this conflict without understanding that on October 4, 2023, women from Kibbutz Be’eri attended a peace conference for Israeli and Palestinian women. And on October 7, Hamas used an attendee list to hunt down these women and murder them.

Shaked Haran explained this in an interview, how Hamas deliberately targeted peace activists on Kibbutz Be’eri during their attack.

Vivian Silver was a Canadian-Israeli peace activist and women’s rights activist. She was murdered in the Be’eri massacre.

Silver immigrated to Israel in 1974 and became a member of kibbutz Gezer as part of the Habonim Dror movement. At Gezer, she became the kibbutz’s secretary, one of the few women to do so; later, she became chairperson of the community.At times, she received pushback from within the kibbutz for her refusal to adhere to gender norms and her choice to take on traditionally male work, such as overseeing construction,. Silver’s early activism focused on women’s rights and gender disparities in Israeli society. To this end, she founded the United Kibbutz Movement’s Department to Advance Gender Equality in 1981. She also worked within the Knesset on the sub-committee for the Advancement of Women in Work and the Economy, for the New Israel Fund, and on the Steering Committee of Shatil.

She moved to Be’eri, a kibbutz near the Gaza border, in 1990, along with her husband and two sons. During this time, she became better acquainted with the local Bedouin community and Gazans. She served as executive director for the Negev Institute for Strategies of Peace and Development (NISPED) beginning in 1998. Silver worked within the kibbutz to organize programs to help Gazans, such as job trainings, and ensured that Gazan construction workers at the kibbutz were paid fairly. 

In 1999, Silver and Amal Elsana Alh’jooj co-founded the Arab-Jewish Center for Equality, Empowerment and Cooperation, an off-shoot of NISPED. Silver served as the center’s director prior to the second intifada. The center organized projects in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. In 2010, Silver and Alh’jooj received the Victor J. Goldberg Prize for Peace in the Middle East, an annual prize given by the Institute of International Education to pairs of Arab and Israeli activists working towards peace.

Before the closure of the Gaza border in 2007, Silver worked with Gazan residents in cross-cultural projects. One group she founded, Creating Peace, focused on fostering business connections between Palestinian and Israeli artisans.

Silver was a former board member of B’Tselem, a Jerusalem-based human rights organization. She was also involved with Alliance for Middle East Peace, as well as a number of their member organizations. As part of this work, she helped organize and lead tours of the Israeli side of the Israeli–Gaza border, as a way to raise awareness about the struggles of Gaza residents.

Silver officially retired in 2014. Following her retirement, and the 2014 Gaza War, Silver co-founded Women Wage Peace, an interfaith grassroots organization Silver also began volunteering with Road to Recovery and Project Rozana to transport Gazan patients who were traveling to Jerusalem for treatment.

On October 4, 2023, Silver helped to organize a peace rally in Jerusalem, which attracted 1,500 Israeli and Palestinian women.
