EXCLUSIVE: From Russia: fmr Russian soldier & journalist George Mamsurov

The segment features an interview with George Mamsurov, a former Russian soldier turned journalist, who offers a Russian perspective on the Ukraine‑Russia war and the evolution of drone warfare. Mamsurov explains that the war in 2022 and today are “two different wars,” highlighting the rise of optical‑fiber‑controlled drones as a decisive factor. He notes that 80 % of modern combat now involves FPV, kamikaze, and surveillance drones, and that Russia, initially behind, has since mass‑produced drones to outnumber Ukraine, which had an early advantage from lessons learned in the 2020 Armenia‑Azerbaijan conflict. The interview underscores how drones have made every movement on the front line potentially lethal, enabling cheap, high‑value target destruction and supply‑line harassment without risking troops. By presenting this Russian viewpoint alongside upcoming Ukrainian interviews, the channel aims to provide a balanced, multi‑perspective understanding of the complex, shifting conflict.
