earlier, my colleague nick clark spoke with edges here as defense analyst alix could topple us about the key of attack and the type of weapons used. kamikaze drones are a very exciting name for what is i loitering in issue. so logic, munitions, so range of munitions at one end or they can loiter literally, hover above the battlefield, identify an enemy tank or an enemy position, a nose dive into it, destroying it. now the other end, they are virtually cruise missiles, so they can travel a long distance and strike their target. hundreds of kilometers inland, very much like we've seen here in keep to day in other irregular parts of russia's austell. no, they're not russia hers being behind in developing a low end tactical drones, especially on once. it's a cruise missiles and missiles have been used up significantly in the battle for ukraine and it's running low. and now these were high end, high value, extremely accurate, but also very expensive, and their inventories have been depleted. now these imported drones are not only accurate do the job, but they're cheap as well. higher forc

clark, a former nato supreme allied commander. i want to ask more about what we're just learning from nick repo -- nic robertson, and what it coulduiten, what do you think putin is trying to do here? >> a couple thoughts. as far as kerrhershon goes -- >> go ahead, suesening. >> -- if the russians were actually to lose hershon, it would be one of the most significant victories of the war for ukraine and the sign that the counter-offensive launched at the end of the summer is continue to go reap successions in particular with new weaponry coming in, flowing in from the west at a particular rate. i think that's one of the reasons you see putin starting to take aggressive counter-measures, which includes attacking ukrainian cities with a terror drone campaign. this new announcement on martial law, it specifically applies to the four territories illegally annexed by russia, but there's a provision that suggests further crackdowns could be coming inside russia itself. given putin's two-decade playbook of using military setbacks in order to further introduce repression at home, i think this is something to watch very carefully. he may b

nick peyton walsh, thank you for your reporting. perspective from matthew chance who reported inside ukraine and moscow and cnn retired analyst wesley clarkart with you, the loss of this key rail hub, how much of a setback is this for russia? >> it is a significant setback because that was the railway that connected the russians in belaruse where they could get logistics and reinforcements into the area. so it is a set back. there is no doubt about it. the big thing is that it is pushing more disorganized russian troops back on russian positions. and demoralized, disorganized mass of troops is really hard to handle. so this is a real defeat for russia. it is very heartening for ukraine. and we just have to hope that the momentum continues for ukraine. >> so matthew, what didoes this embarrassment mean for putin and how might he respond? >> it puts him in a very difficult position. particularly because he's coming under a lot of pressure domestically. and we're seeing this sort of upsurge in an extraordinary amount of criticism which is really what you don't hear very much of in russia traditionally when it comes to putin. but it's coming
