The War in the Ukraine

Russians have captured Ostrovske.


Ukrainian counterattack at Tabaivka falls under heavy and fatal fire.


FABs hit multistory buildings in Kazatskoye on the right bank of Kherson.


Russians using a captured Browning M2 machinegun as they defend from a Ukrainian counterattack. We have seen the Russians lift a Browning machinegun from a knocked out Ukrainian APC before.


Forpost UAV strikes a Ukrainian tank with a air to ground ATGM, namely the X-UAV, at the Kursk region. UAV strikes of this type has become a daily occurrence on this front.


After having a number of SAM systems destroyed, the Ukrainians do not bring SAM systems close to the front, allowing Russian heavy UAVs of the type like the Forpost and Orion to operate freely and causing havoc.


Tor-M2 takes out a winged UAV in the Kupyansk direction.


ODAB-1500 hits Konstantinovka.


Ukrainian artillery units being hunted down and hit with long range fire and Lancets in the Kursk front.


The 56th VDV Regiment, now with the 137th and 119th VDV Regiments have launched counterattacks along the Glushkovo sector.


Multiple ODAB-1500 bomb attacks on a Ukrainian camp in the Kharkhiv region, probably the Kupyansk sector. Note we are seeing more and more of this type of bomb being used.

Mass kidnappings taking place across Ukraine. A concert got raided in Kyiv. At this rate, Ukraine will become a female only state.

The Ukrainian situation in Kursk is deteriorating:
Following the start of the second phase of the Russian counteroffensive in the oblast the Russian army has managed to drive Ukrainian forces out of many of their positions taken in August on different axes, retreating towards the border again.
The replacement of the experienced brigades by defense forces and reservists has made it impossible to contain the Russian pressure exerted since September. Of course, the figure of 50,000 troops on this front is nonsensical and illogical considering the difficulty the Ukrainian army is already having to maintain its positions on the other fronts.
New Ukrainian reinforcements leave for Sumy in response to contain the Russian advance, reinforcements that on the other hand, are needed elsewhere, which indicates that the Ukrainian non-withdrawal from Kursk is due only to political reasons after its certified military failure. Ukraine currently controls less than 600 square kilometers.

Interesting video demonstrating Russian optic fibre guided FPV. A pickup filled with EW tried to get in its way but the FPV just flew around it to hit the tank in front instead.

Another Ukrainian bridge is hit by an airborne missile which is an X-38ML for this type of application. This is at the Kurakhovo direction. Taking out bridges cuts of both logistics, unit rotation and route of retreat. Guidance work by an Orlan drone of the 238th Brigade.

Lost the Su-34 bomber. The crew died.
The loss is not related to enemy actions.

Peace to the ashes of the dead.

Additional unrelated update.

Some new anti UAV system developed by Leonardo and using the Stryker chassis, got taken out by a Vandal fiberoptic FPV drone. Ironic.


"Special forces hit the latest air defense system with a drone on the Prince Vandal of Novgorod
This device is equipped with various means of destroying protection against and destroying UAVs; it is armed with: 26 kW Locust HEL Laser, APKWS, 30 mm 30x113 cannon and 7.62 MT EOS Slinger turret, Leonardo AESA nMHR radar.
As it turned out, — is one of the latest developments from Leonardo DRS, which recently announced successful testing and live firing of its new prototype."

Vandals took out an APC and a Ukrainian repeater station. These stations are used to extend the range of bomber and FPV drones.

Russian servicemen shared their experience of using homemade robotic platforms in battles. Robotic platforms were used in battles in Ukraine and in Ugledar, robot models are not reported, transport models are shown.

The basic rule is always: wait for visual confirmation. If there is none, then you can forget about it.
