[map.view lat=47.8 lon=38.3 zoom=8] [map.highlight entity="region:donbas" color="#ef4444"] Ukraine sent 11 drones armed with 100-kilogram warheads to a Russian drone training school in occupied Donetsk — and killed 65 cadets and their commander in a single strike. [chat.say source="drone_school_pravda_2026"] Operation Snow for Akhmat targeted a 2,400 square meter facility where Russia was training its next generation of UAV pilots. The commander, a lieutenant colonel with a PhD from Russia's Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences, died in the strike.

Ukraine is not just destroying hardware — it is eroding Russia's capacity to operate the hardware it builds. This is the OODA loop as strategic doctrine: don't just destroy the drone. Destroy the person who was going to fly it. [scene.title kind=outro title="Killing the Drone School." subtitle="Follow Clio for more geopolitical intelligence."]
