00:01Hello friends, the day has finally arrived because President Zelenskyy announced that
00:06during the early morning hours of October 1st, Ukraine carried out the first combat
00:10launch of its domestically produced FP-7 tactical ballistic missile.
00:14No further information was provided regarding the target or the results of the strike,
00:19but it was confirmed that the next step is serial production,
00:22so we can assume that the missile accomplished its mission.
00:24The missile carries a payload of up to 200 kilograms over distances of up to 250 kilometers
00:29with a stated circular error probable of 14 meters, a top speed of 1,500 meters per second e-cont,
00:37an apogee of up to 60 kilometers and a maximum flight time of about 30 seconds.
00:42It is launched from the ground using a mobile platform.
00:46Firepoint describes it as a lower-cost alternative to the American system ATAC-AS.
00:56On the Lyman front, Operation Vivaldi continues to bear fruit as can be seen in this video
01:01published by the 3rd Army Corps documenting the capture of more than 250 Russian soldiers
01:06during the third phase of Operation Vivaldi.
01:09The report describes how entire units of the invading army laid down their arms confessing
01:15to their captors that they were suffering from severe food shortages, a collapse of the chain of
01:19command and overall isolation. Brigadier General Andrey Vilecki, commander of the 3rd Corps Vivaldi,
01:27called the outcome a turning point, which left Russian forces with no reconnaissance capability,
01:33armor, or cohesive units in key areas along the approaches to the Northern Donetsk Fortress Belt.
01:39Russian forces on the Lyman axis have experienced a steady deterioration in their cohesion and logistics
01:45since the start of the Ukrainian operation. According to reports from the Russian military
01:49millblogger ecosystem, captured soldiers confirmed that they went extended periods without receiving
01:55supplies. So they had to resort to eating nettles and tree bark, hunting small animals, and in extreme
02:01cases, drinking rainwater and urine just to survive until Ukrainian forces reached their positions.
02:09Apparently, the wounded personnel also lacked an organized evacuation system and had to try to
02:15reach the rear aid stations on their own, literally crawling to the rescue points.
02:21In the video, a Horde officer can be seen confirming to Vilecki that his troops were dying of exhaustion
02:26and hunger while the commanders prevented their retreat. According to the Institute for the Study of War,
02:32this situation is because Ukrainian Mosquitos launched a furious attack campaign before the
02:37offensive against the ATVs and motorcycles that Ivan was sending to reinforce and resupply
02:43the infiltration groups that had been cut off, which allowed them to decimate those units,
02:48facilitating their surrender. Russian mailbloggers report that the fighting is moving toward the
02:53Zerubitz River and that much of the salient west of it has been lost to the Ukrainians.
02:58On the Zaporyzhya front, operators of the 3rd Battalion wings of the 411th Hawks Unmanned Systems
03:04Brigade are replicating this tactic with a slight change. Instead of immediately attacking the
03:10invading horde's resupply, ATVs, they usually follow them to try to find the depots from which
03:16they transport food, water and ammunition to the frontline positions, as in this case, where their
03:21patience to demilitarize Ivan paid off and allowed them to immediately neutralize ammunition depots by
03:28early October 2026. The Zaporyzhya front remains active as Russian forces carry out hundreds of
03:34daily attacks using drones, artillery, and air assets against settlements throughout the region.
03:39Meanwhile, Ukrainian units report continuous strikes against the invaders' logistics and
03:43infiltration groups. According to official assessments by the Southern Group of Forces,
03:49the contact line is about 30 kilometers from the city of Zaporyzhya,
03:53with no large-scale ground advance in that direction. On the technological front, Ukrainian forces have
04:02begun using unmanned ground vehicles equipped with active protection systems capable of launching nets
04:07to intercept Russian attack drones that get too close. These systems detect incoming aerial threats and
04:15launch expandable nets designed to entangle the propellers and take down the drones at close range.
04:21This footage was shared by a Russian source and shows a ground drone operating on a rural road just as
04:27it detects an approaching Russian drone. Once the distance is right, the system triggers the net,
04:33which successfully takes down the intruder. Ukraine has deployed several similar systems from Rattel
04:40Robotics and SmartBirds along with Robert Tech's Tarantul Active Protection System. Retail Robotics began field
04:48testing its net launchers in late April 2026 with deliveries to the armed forces scheduled to
04:54start in September. The system uses cameras and artificial intelligence algorithms to detect targets
05:00at distances of up to 50 meters, engaging them when they come within 15 meters. The prototypes feature
05:07multiple launch modules capable of firing in different directions, with reload times of barely a minute,
05:13using pre-prepared cartridges. The Boron from SmartBird LS can carry up to 8 lightweight double-barreled
05:21powerbook modules providing 360-degree coverage and reported interception ranges of up to 45 meters.
05:28Similarly, Robert Edge's Tarantul system combines sensors and artificial intelligence for the automatic or
05:34semi-automatic launching of nets against approaching FPV threats.
05:39attack drones remain highly effective against unmanned ground vehicles, and they typically strike them
05:45within minutes of detection in the frontline kill zone.
05:50That is why physical nets offer a last line of defense that is relatively inexpensive, reusable,
05:57and flexible, which can be integrated into existing platforms without requiring major vehicle modifications.
06:07In this footage, you can see the testimony of Roberto Yamil Ibrahim,
06:11the first Argentine captured fighting for the Russian army.
06:16Hello, my name is Roberto Yamil Ibrahim. I am 37 years old. I am from Buenos Aires.
06:22They promised me some money over the internet. I agreed because of the money. I accepted the offer they gave
06:30me.
06:32A friend of mine contacts me on WhatsApp and tells me he got an offer to come to Russia to
06:37do logistics work
06:39and join the Russian Ministry of Defense. I agreed to it. They paid for my ticket from
06:47Buenos Aires to Italy, from Italy to Turkey, and from Turkey to Moscow. The truth is,
06:55I wouldn't recommend anyone do it because they promised something that isn't true. They promised me $20,000,
07:02which never arrived. I suffered a lot of hardships in Russia because they practically send you to die.
07:10It's not what it looks like on the internet. They make you a promise. They tell you that you're going
07:16to be fine, that you will, that you can send the money. A lot of people went Colombians, Peruvians,
07:26from Mexico, from Burundi, from Africa, from Cameroon, from all countries, from Zimbabwe. I lost them all,
07:36most of them died. Roar is very sad. I don't recommend anyone, if they tell you to go fight in
07:44Russia, don't go.
07:46It's a completely different reality. It's not what it seems. They mistreat you. They don't give you food.
07:53They don't give you water. They pretty much send you to the front to die. They send you to the
07:58front to die.
07:59What Vladimir Putin is doing is genocide. It's genocide. A lot of people are dying. Approximately 4
08:06million people have already died. I went to the hospital. I ended up wounded and during an evacuation,
08:13I was doing, I went to rescue a Peruvian guy and I suffered. I went to the hospital and it's
08:20horrible
08:20amputees, people who lost their hand. It's very sad. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend anyone to go to war.
08:29Don't go. Don't go to Russia. Don't go. It's a false promise. They promise you the money.
08:37The verbal abuse is very harsh. They make you sleep on the floor. They don't give you water.
08:41They don't give you food. They send you to die. That's the end of many, many soldiers I've seen there
08:48from all countries. They disappeared. Most of them disappeared. They all disappeared. The numbers
08:55happened. It was approximately a loss in my battalion. We were 60 people and 43, 44 people died.
09:07Despite his statements on his social media, it's clearly seen that he knew perfectly well that
09:13he wouldn't be working on logistics missions. Just to make it clear to the local Russophiles,
09:18these kinds of ads are a scam. An Amnesty International report published in September,
09:232026, describes deceptive practices offering jobs unrelated to combat, such as logistics,
09:29security, or support. After signing, the volunteers face movement restrictions and are quickly deployed
09:36to the front lines. Ukraine estimates that tens of thousands of foreigners from over 100 countries
09:43countries have joined Russian units through these offers. Damn, it's because of people like this that
09:49bleach bottles have a warning not to drink it. For those who want to see extra content,
