TOOLS TO SPOT AN UNSEEN ENEMY
The invasion of Ukraine is the first time that both sides in a conflict have had reconnaissance drones—and the ability to shoot down the enemy’s drones. Throughout the war, Ukraine’s hordes of locally produced drones, which are cheap enough to lose during a mission without causing much hardship, have been a better option to Russia’s small number of very expensive drones, which Moscow doesn’t want to lose. As a result, the Ukrainian military has had much better knowledge of Russian positions and movements than the Russian military has enjoyed.

When the devil’s schemes come on the day of evil, Christians can stand firm in the power of the Lord.

The enemy may be spiritual and invisible, but Jesus does not leave His children without powerful defenses.
