01:00Hello friends, the offensive involving Juran strategic attack drones and Lancet loitering munitions remains intense
01:06But the air defense units of the Omega Special Forces unit do their part, clearing threats from their sector of
01:13the front, one target at a time
01:16Unfortunately, the Russians have developed technology that allows them to see and assess the results of their strikes against targets
01:23in Kiev in real time
01:24Like in this case where the impact of a Juran 5 is observed against the business center building
01:29It's very concerning, not only the impact of the attack drone, but also that a Gerbera reconnaissance drone can be
01:37patrolling over Kyiv in broad daylight
01:41Four people lost their lives in the building as a result of the attack
01:44This attack is part of a campaign against Ukraine's digital and telecommunications infrastructure
01:49Since according to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the data group facilities were processing and transmitting intelligence data for the
01:56Ukrainian forces
02:03President Zelensky pointed out that the government decided to strengthen the protection of data centers following a meeting of the
02:09general staff held on September 25
02:14On September 27, a Russian drone damaged the headquarters of Kyivstar, Ukraine's largest mobile operator
02:21But the company reported no casualties or network disruptions, serving over 21 million subscribers
02:28Russia also claimed responsibility for an attack on a Vodafone Ukraine data center
02:32This campaign highlights a shift in strategy aimed at targeting the physical backbone of Ukrainian information networks
02:39which rely on data centers, hosting civilian internet services, television broadcasts, and, according to Moscow, military communications
02:49To date, Ukrainian operators have managed to maintain most services thanks to redundant systems relying on foreign providers
02:59While working on this video, it was reported that the invaders launched a second strike against the Dobrobot Medical Center
03:06building
03:06In downtown Kyiv, causing a fire on the upper floors of the building
03:12This is not a mistake, since in recent days the Russians have attacked multiple hospitals in various cities across the
03:18country
03:19It seems to be a campaign to terrorize the most vulnerable in Ukrainian society
03:29On the Kupiansk Front, Ukrainian reconnaissance drones from the National Guard
03:34recorded Russian forces escorting a group of civilians, including children, the elderly, and a person on crutches
03:40into an out-of-service gas pipeline on September 27
03:44The footage shows how the group was led from the urban area of Kupiansk
03:49through the town of Holubivka and forced into the Shebelinka-Ostrogorsk gas pipeline
03:53which is a route that Russian units have used to safely send reinforcements into the city
03:59The 2nd Corps noted that military-aged men in civilian clothes were walking alongside the civilians
04:05likely Russian soldiers who had stripped off their uniforms, took land in, and avoid being targeted
04:11during their retreat in the face of advancing Ukrainian forces in the area
04:15The defenders monitoring the movement held their fire because of the presence of children and the elderly
04:21The section of the pipeline accessed by the group of civilians is described as a large diameter
04:27stretched over 10 kilometers long
04:29which is frequently used by Russian sabotage and assault teams pushing toward Kupiansk
04:34which is why its exit is constantly monitored by the Ukrainian forces operating in the area
04:40The pipeline emerges in a wooded area behind Russian lines
04:44from where the civilians would presumably be moved into occupied territory
04:48The same statement noted that Russian personnel filmed the civilians throughout the entire journey
04:54Ukraine's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Andriy Sivija, stated that this episode demonstrated
04:59how civilians were used as instruments of war and were forced to head into occupied territory under threat
05:04He described these actions as serious violations of international humanitarian law
05:09which require documentation and investigation and which will demand that those responsible be held accountable
05:15The Zemil bloggers have come out saying their soldiers were evacuating civilians
05:19which is unlikely since an evacuation isn't carried out along military routes
05:24On the contrary, it's done openly and with white flags
05:27since the Russians know that the defenders would never shoot at their own compatriots
05:36On the strategic strike front, overnight from September 24th to the 25th
05:41The defenders' unmanned systems forces launched strikes against three targets
05:45which included the Lukoil oil refinery in the Ural city of Perm
05:48causing explosions and fires at the facilities that generated dense plumes of black smoke
05:55Sources in the Russian oil sector confirmed that the plant
05:58which is Russia's seventh-largest refinery
06:00had to completely halt its operations after sustaining damage to pipelines, storage tanks, and processing units
06:05The refinery, located more than 1,400 kilometers from the Ukrainian border
06:11processes approximately 12.6 million metric tons of crude oil per year
06:15and it's a key producer of diesel and gasoline for the invading army and the civilian market of the Z
06:20-Federation
06:22President Zelensky confirmed that it was part of a coordinated multi-strike operation
06:27responding to Russia's brutal attacks against the Ukrainian civilian population
06:32He stated that last night, thanks to our long-range capabilities, two oil refineries were hit
06:38Perm and Novoshaktinsk
06:43There were also impacts on the Iskra defense plant in Ulyanovsk
06:47This last attack holds great technical significance
06:50as the plant, located about 800 kilometers from the Ukrainian border
06:54belongs to the ALMAS Ante Aerospace Defense Consortium
06:58and manufacture specialized semiconductor components used in Russian precision munitions and air defense systems
07:05Eye witness videos showed a dense plume of smoke rising over the plant
07:09along with multiple successive impacts, which, according to some reports, numbered more than 10
07:14The attack on Iskra is of particular strategic importance
07:19Unlike more easily replaceable products, specialized semiconductor and microwave components intended for guidance systems, radars and communications
07:28cannot be quickly replaced through the grey market or simple parts smuggling
07:34Disrupting operations at a plant that covers virtually the entire design and production cycle for these components impacts Russia's ability
07:41to manufacture new cruise missiles and pancier air defense systems
07:51This incident marks at least the fifth documented attack on the Perm refinery in 2026
07:57Previous attacks, which occurred in July and August, had already forced a temporary shutdown of the main crew distillation units
08:04The Novosaktinsk refinery in the Rostov region also suspended its operations after being struck in the same wave of attacks
08:13Altogether, both plants account for a significant portion of Russia's diesel production
08:21To finish, a rare sight of a Ukrainian attack mosquito farm, where their operators keep them covered from the harsh
08:28weather
08:29They also keep them well-fed on a balanced diet of wheat grains and lithium batteries
08:33until they are ready to leave the aviary to hunt some illegal tourists
08:46This happened last night
08:48Hello, friends?
08:49Russia attacks with new jet-powered drones at 600 kilometers per hour-hour, reducing air defense reaction times to just
08:56seconds
08:56The solution?
08:57Ukraine will deploy Airbus's Bird of Prey, a robotic interceptor that hunts in mid-air autonomously
09:03Stick around and I'll break it down for you
09:08We start with a Ukrainian attack mosquito that takes up a position behind the Z-Tord's lines
09:13But instead of landing on the ground, its operator hangs it from a high-voltage power line
09:17This tactic aims to give the drone a wider field of view, allowing it to spot the enemy's presence from
09:23further away
09:23I'm sure Ivan will love this little surprise
09:29On the tech front, just three days after its public presentation at the IT Arena conference in Lviv
09:35The Army of Robotics Initiative, spearheaded by Mikhailo Fedorov, Ukraine's former Minister of Defense, is shaping up to be the
09:43next industrial mobilization in a war that has already been transformed by unmanned systems
09:49The project isn't limited to a single manufacturer or a government program
09:52It is conceived as an ecosystem that encompasses investment in Ukrainian defense companies, research and development
09:59coupled with rapid battlefield testing alongside the military, and agile scaling of solutions that prove effective under enemy fire
10:07Under the operational concept, sensors and reconnaissance systems detect threats and coordinate a response in which unmanned robotic platforms are
10:15the first to engage the invader
10:19The robots, ranging from wheeled or tracked unmanned ground vehicles to quadrupedal models and even humanoid systems
10:26will take on tasks such as casualty evacuation, ammunition resupply, mine laying and clearance, reconnaissance, defending positions, and carrying out
10:34direct assault action
10:39Ukrainian media covering the presentation in Lviv reported that the project aims for the first confirmed deployment of a humanoid
10:46robot within six months
10:47as well as a full robotic force assault without infantry presence within 12 months
10:54Fedorov stated that the next phase of the war will be decided by robotics, autonomous systems, and superior sensors
11:02The project is actively recruiting defense tech companies, robotics, and artificial intelligence engineers through the Army of Robots website
11:13Funding for the program is being organized by Palantir CEO Alex Karp
11:17who is also the initial lead investor, which certainly lends weight to the initiative
11:24I don't know if they're taking suggestions, but I've got a few ideas for the design of Ukrainian combat spiders
11:32Along the same lines, German companies Arx Robotics and Deutz AG have completed and begun delivering to Ukraine the first
11:39units of the Geryon unmanned ground vehicles
11:42manufactured at the Deutz plant in Ulm, just 12 weeks after announcing the start of their serial production
11:50These track platforms work with Arx's Maitra OS software, which is an operating environment with AI capabilities
11:58that can network multiple vehicles for coordinated operations, rapid threat response, and efficient mission management
12:06Each Geryon has a range of 40 kilometers and an operational capacity of up to 72 hours carrying up to
12:13500 kilograms of payload
12:14which can be logistical supplies, stretchers for casualty evacuation, sensors, or a low-key remotely operated combat module from Valhalla
12:22turrets
12:24The German company already delivered hundreds of Geryon vehicles in 2025
12:29In May of this year, it signed a contract with the Ukrainian government to, in their words, quintuple the fleet
12:35of these vehicles in service
12:36With the defenders publicly stating that their goal is to acquire 25,000 ground drones in the first half of
12:432026 alone
12:48Now, as we await the deployment of Fedorov's robot army, the defenders are saturating the front line with literally hundreds
12:55of attack mosquitoes
12:58The density of the swarm protecting Ukraine can be seen in this video, where a Russian reconnaissance drone records dozens
13:04Perhaps I'd even say over 100 attack drones all perched on a small stretch of road near the front, waiting
13:09for orders to head to their target
13:14Ukrainian operators position their systems in areas near the front, to avoid draining their battery, and they only take off
13:20once a target has been positively identified for them
13:24That way, if there aren't enough invaders in the area, the unused mosquitoes can return to their launch zone to
13:29receive fresh batteries that will allow them to carry out another mission
13:33This way, drones aren't lost simply because their batteries run out
13:40On the strategic strike front, the invaders have begun sending Geron-5 jet-powered attack drones against the border crossings
13:46between Ukraine and Poland
13:48In this case, we see one of those attacks carried out on September 28th against the Yahudin crossing
13:55The invaders' objective appears to be disrupting the transit of passengers and cargo from Europe
14:01These incursions are possible because Russia has installed signal repeater antennas in Belarus and in the occupied region of Transnistria
14:08in Moldova
14:08Allowing them to guide their drones deep into Ukrainian territory
14:19Although this one seems to have lost the control signal from its operator, it went into an uncontrolled spin that
14:24caused it to crash to the ground in a Ukrainian city
14:27Whose residents could only take cover, hoping the Vulture wouldn't crash near them as its warhead detonated on impact
14:38To counter this rising tide of jet-powered drone attacks, Airbus Defence and Space has developed a reusable unmanned interceptor,
14:46Bird of Prey, which is catapult-launched
14:50And it has caught the interest of the UK Ministry of Defence, which has already scheduled live air-to-air
14:55combat trials in Ukraine before the end of 2026
14:59Built on a modified Doody T-25 target drone airframe, the aircraft measures 3.1 meters in length and 2
15:07.5 meters in height, weighs 160 kilograms at takeoff and is designed to be recovered by parachute, re-armed and
15:14launched again on another mission
15:17The demonstration conducted in March 2026 in Northern Germany showed how the system can autonomously search for, detect and classify
15:25a medium-sized enemy kamikaze drone before launching a Frankenberg Technologies Mark I missile
15:32The prototype carried four of these fire-and-forget interceptors weighing just 2 kilograms, but the operational configuration envisions up
15:39to 8 units, each with a combat range of 1.5 kilometers and a fragmentation warhead with a proximity fuse
15:48Frankenberg is an Estonian startup that expects to produce 100 missiles per Dalton 9 by the end of this year
15:53with its two plants located in Latvia
15:55The cost-per-minute missile would be $20,000 per unit, while a Russian jet-powered drone costs between $60
16:02,000 and $80,000
16:04The development speed of this bird-of-prey and its missile has been incredible, as the program went from the
16:09conceptual phase to an actual interception test in 9 months
16:12An unprecedented timeframe in the European Defence Aerospace sector
16:18Furthermore, the system exclusively uses European technology, making the solution completely free from U.S. ITAR regulations
16:27Let's hope that we can soon see these predators protecting the skies of Ukraine
16:37In any case, Ukrainian engineers are also working on domestic solutions
16:41And on September 28, the 1020, Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile and artillery regiment managed to destroy a Russian Grand 5
16:49jet attack drone which was intercepted over northern Ukraine
16:52While flying at 425 kilometers per hour and at an altitude of over 3 kilometers, this is the sixth documented
17:01shoot-down of a Grand 5 by a Ukrainian interceptor
17:04which might be the fourth different type of interceptor tested in recent weeks
17:09The Grand 5, deployed by Russia since early 2026, is considered more of a small cruise missile than a conventional
17:17strategic attack drone
17:19It measures about 6 meters, with a wingspan of 5.5 meters, carrying a warhead of around 90 kilograms
17:25It has a range of nearly 1,000 kilometers and a top speed of 600 kilometers per hour
17:31That speed reduces the reaction time of mobile air defense units from about a minute to just a few seconds
17:40That just cause the interception rate against propeller-driven Kieran's to drop from 90 to just 55%
17:47The race for Ukraine's skies is still underway and neither side is letting up
18:01Hello friends! What happens when your own commanders lie to you with fake AI-generated videos?
18:08You end up surrounded! The Ukrainians have just crushed the Lyman front, leaving 2,000 casualties and 250 prisoners
18:15Next, I'll tell you how they did it
18:19We start with this unusual video from the cockpit perspective of a Ukrainian Air Force Su-25 Frogfoot on a
18:25strike mission over the Eastern Front
18:27The aircraft flies at high speed and very low altitude before pitching its nose up to gain altitude
18:33And launch a French hammer-guided bomb against a target belonging to the invading forces
18:38The hammer uses a nose-mounted modular guidance kit, combined with a range extension kit located in the tail section
18:46The navigation system is based on a hybrid inertial and GPS architecture, providing the weapon with all-weather operational capability
18:53It has fire and forget capability, along with high resistance to jamming or spoofing of satellite positioning signals
19:01In fact, the inertial unit is capable of continuing to guide the bomb to the program coordinates even if the
19:07satellite signal is lost, achieving an accuracy of approximately 10 meters circular error probable
19:13With all this, we can safely say the consequences are about to hit Russian positions, hard, without lube, and with
19:19pinpoint accuracy
19:24We remain on the aerial front, because a Tuesday-95 MS Bear, strategic bomber of the Russian Aerospace Forces, crashed
19:31in flames shortly after taking off from the Ukrainka Air Base
19:36In the far east of the Z Federation, during a routine training mission on Tuesday, September 29th
19:42The crash caused the deaths of six of the seven crew members, and resulted in the complete destruction of the
19:47aircraft
19:49A video recorded at the crash site by witnesses captured the distinctive roar of the Tuesday-95's four Kuznetsov NK
19:56-12 turboprop engines, followed by a flash and an intense fire, when the fuselage hit the ground
20:03Early reports circulating on Russian telegram channels indicated that the engines caught fire, and mentioned a possible fuel explosion on
20:10board
20:14The Tuesday-95 MS is a Cold War era design that first flew in the 1950s, and remains a key
20:20pillar of Russia's long-range aviation and nuclear triad
20:26Its unique turboprop configuration allows it to remain airborne for extended periods while carrying KK-101 and KH-555 cruise
20:34missile weapons that Russia has used extensively against Ukrainian cities from bases located within its own airspace
20:44Ukrainka, located in the Russian Far East, near the border with China, has gained importance as a rear-area operational
20:50hub after Ukrainian strikes hit more Western facilities such as Ingalls Air Base
20:56The loss of a single aircraft is significant given the age of the platform, the limited number of remaining units,
21:02and the impact of sanctions on maintenance and the supply of spare parts
21:08Independent estimates of the operational Tuesday-95 fleet size have varied in recent months, as this aircraft model is under
21:15heavy strain due to both combat operations and previous accidents
21:22On the Lyman front, the 3rd Army Corps announced on September 29 that its pre-planned multi-layered communications architecture
21:30allowed reconnaissance units and unmanned aerial systems to continue striking Russian positions
21:35Even when startling terminals experienced disruptions from Ivan's electronic warfare during the third phase of Operation Vivaldi
21:43The Corps reported that its system operated with 100% availability throughout the offensive and was able to restore its
21:50signals after suffering damage five times faster than the average of the rest of the armed forces of Ukraine
21:56Alternative channels had been established in advance by order of General Pilecki
22:01This redundancy kept command posts, connected with aerial and ground reconnaissance, operating on the front lines, allowing strikes with mosquitoes
22:09and ground drones to keep going even when the satellite link was cut
22:14The announcement comes as the Corps marks the conclusion of Vivaldi's third phase, with the liberation of Nove, Ritkodov and
22:21Katerinivka, as well as the reestablishment of control over Karpivka, Novomikailivka and Novomikailivka
22:27This phase added 51 square kilometers of liberated Ukrainian territory, bringing the total recovered since the start of the operation
22:34to 176 square kilometers
22:38Russian casualties in this phase were estimated at 2,000 dead and more than 250 prisoners, including entire subunits with
22:45officers, drone operators and artillerymen
22:49Subsequent statements from the Corps placed total Russian personnel casualties across all three phases at approximately 5,000 troops
22:579. It was described as the key enemy node in that sector's bridgehead
23:02Control of the height surrounding the settlement determines which side holds the initiative across the entire sector
23:08Russian forces were led to believe that the main Ukrainian effort was aimed at the Shandryholov-Zelena-Dolina axis
23:15So they committed and depleted their reserves in counter-attacks in that area
23:21The Ukrainians' real main effort was against Novav, where old Soviet armored personnel carriers were used to breach the strongest
23:28fortifications
23:30Repurposed BTR-60s packed with explosives and operated as unmanned kamikaze ground vehicles
23:37The explosion's impact was compared to that of a cab glide bomb and wiped out a Russian command and communications
23:42hub
23:4412. The hardening of the 3rd Corps communications network took place prior to the intensification of Russian strikes against Ukrainian
23:50telecommunications infrastructure in late September
23:5313. The 3rd Army Corps' decision to establish redundant systems well in advance prevented its units from being disrupted
24:00Allowing them to maintain the operational tempo required for both the deception maneuver and the subsequent exploitation of the breach
24:06opened on the IVAN front
24:08In an environment where satellite links are both vital and vulnerable, the Corps presented its network as a practical demonstration
24:15that operational continuity can be achieved through technical design rather than simply being taken for granted
24:2315. But so our local Russophiles don't get depressed, we have some remarkable information for them
24:31Well, at least I can't stop laughing since the Russian mill bloggers have reported a growing trend around the Lyman
24:38bridgeheads
24:40This practice, documented in dozens of videos, has been vital in demonstrating to the High Command in Moscow that it
24:46is out of touch with reality on the Lyman front
24:49that the continuation of Russian soldiers
24:59Among them, technical design in artillery can be achieved
25:06From July videos, you can see a soldier holding a Russian flag, changing size as the camera zooms out and
25:13then disappearing
25:15In another video, a flag fades into thin air, while the landscape remains static
25:2118. The Institute for the Study of War recorded at least 35 videos of this type between June and August
25:262026-19
25:28The Z-Mill blogger, Art Jockey, noted that the prisoners captured by the Ukrainians during their offensive were specialists such
25:36as operators
25:37Drone operators and artillerymen, who are usually in the rear, which suggest that their units were exposed due to false
25:43situation reports
25:44leaving Russian troops unaware of where their own front line actually was
25:5121. Lying is part of the invaders' military culture, but now it's even more convincing, because it's powered by artificial
25:56intelligence
26:09The day has finally arrived, because President Zelenskyy announced that in the early hours of October 1st, Ukraine conducted the
26:16first combat launch of its domestically produced FB-7 tactical ballistic missile
26:2023. No further information was provided regarding the target or the results of the strike, but it was confirmed that
26:26the next step is mass production, so we can assume the missile accomplished its mission
26:3124. The missile carries a payload of up to 200 kg at ranges of up to 250 km
26:38With a reported circular error probable of 14 m, a maximum speed of 1,500 m per second, an apogee
26:45of up to 60 km, and a maximum flight time of about 30 seconds, it is ground launched from a
26:51mobile platform
26:5326. Firepoint describes it as a lower cost alternative to the American ATTMS system
27:03The Aiman front, Operation Vivaldi continues to yield results, as seen in this video released by the 3rd Army Corps,
27:10documenting the capture of over 250 Russian soldiers during the third phase of Operation Vivaldi
27:1628. The report describes how entire units of the invading army laid down their weapons, confessing to their captors that
27:24they were starving, a collapse of the chain of command, and overall isolation
27:29Brigadier General Andrey Biletsky, commander of the Ukrainian 3rd Corps, called the outcome a turning point, which left Russian forces
27:37without reconnaissance capabilities, armor, or cohesive units in key areas along the approaches to the northern Donetsk fortress belt
27:4530. Russian forces on the Lyman axis have experienced a steady deterioration in cohesion and logistics since the start of
27:53the Ukrainian operation, according to reports from the Russian military mill blogger Ecosystem
27:58Captured soldiers confirmed they went long periods without receiving supplies, so they had to resort to eating nettles and tree
28:04bark, hunting small animals, and, in extreme cases, drinking rainwater and urine just to survive, until Ukrainian forces reached their
28:13positions
28:1332. Apparently, the wounded personnel didn't have an organized evacuation system either and had to try to reach the rear
28:22medical stations on their own, literally crawling to the rescue points
28:28In the video, a Horde officer can be seen confirming to Biletsky that his troops were dying of exhaustion and
28:32hunger while commanders prevented any retreat
28:3534. According to the Institute for the Study of War, this situation is due to Ukrainian drones launching a fierce
28:43attack campaign prior to the offensive against the ATVs
28:46and motorcycles that Ivan sent to reinforce and supply the infiltration groups that had been cut off which allowed them
28:52to decimate those units facilitating their surrender
28:56Russian meal bloggers report that fighting is shifting toward the Zerebets river and that much of the salient to the
29:01west of it has been lost to the Ukrainians
29:0536. On the Zaporizhia Front, operators of the 3rd Wings Battalion of the 411th Hawks Unmanned Systems Brigade are replicating
29:13this tactic with a slight change
29:1437. Instead of immediately attacking the invading Horde's resupply ATVs, they usually tracked them to try to find the depots
29:22from which they transport food, water, and ammunition
29:2439. In this case, that to immediately attack the invading Horde, depots, ammunition, 39, in early October 2026
29:35The Zaporizhia Front remains active as Russian forces carry out hundreds of attacks daily using drones, artillery, and air assets
29:43against settlements throughout the region
29:45Meanwhile, Ukrainian units report continuous strikes against the invaders' logistical and infiltration groups
29:5140. According to official assessments from the city task force
30:04The Ukrainian strike units report
30:08Detect incoming aerial threats en route
30:10And fire expandable nets designed to entangle the propellers
30:14And against logistics personnel
30:19Russian source
30:20And shows a
30:32Ground drone operating on a rural road
30:36Attacking the logistics right away to successfully bring down the intruder
30:43Ukraine has deployed several similar systems developed by companies like Rutel Robotics, SmartBirds, and the Tarantool Active Protection
30:50System from Robert Tech
30:51The invaders' logistical and infiltration groups
30:55And targeting algorithms with a range of up to 50 meters, striking them when they are within 15 meters
31:10The prototypes feature multiple launch modules capable of firing in different directions
31:15They track, the groups, and infiltration of the double-barreled
31:19Offering 360-degree coverage
31:22And reported interception ranges of up to 45 meters
31:27Similarly, Robert Tech's Tarantool system combines sensors and artificial intelligence for the automatic or semi-automatic firing of nets against
31:34approaching FPV threats
31:35Attack drones
31:38Attack drones remain highly effective against immediate logistical vehicles
31:43And they usually follow logistics and annihilation infiltration
31:47The invaders
31:57Of those
31:58That is why physical nets offer a last line of defense that is relatively cheap, reusable, and flexible
32:04Which can be integrated into existing platforms without requiring major vehicle modifications
32:14This recording shows the testimony of Roberto Yamil Ibrahim, the first Argentine captured
32:19fighting for the Russian army.
32:39He messages me on WhatsApp and tells me he found an offer to come to Russia to work in logistics
32:45and infiltration for the Russian Ministry of Defense.
32:50I agree to that instead of immediately targeting the logistics from Italy, infiltration, infiltration
32:57of the invaders, dollars which never came.
33:03I suffered a lot of hardship in Russia because they practically send you to die.
33:08It's not what it seems.
33:10You see a promise online, they tell you that you're going to be fine attacking immediately.
33:18Logistics usually follow them and on the internet a promise appears.
33:23They tell you that you're going to be fine, that you can send the money.
33:27A lot of people went, Colombians, Peruvians, from Mexico, from Burundi, from Africa, from
33:34Cameroon, from all countries to immediately attack the invaders, go fight and infiltrate.
33:40Usually logistics follow.
33:49To attack immediately the logistical infiltration of invaders.
33:54The infiltration logistical groups follow the invaders.
34:01They send you to the front to die.
34:03Practically, they send you to the front to die.
34:05What Vladimir Putin is doing is genocide.
34:08It's genocide.
34:10A lot of people are dying.
34:12Around 4 million people have already died.
34:15I went to the hospital.
34:16I ended up wounded in an evacuation that I did.
34:19I went to rescue a Peruvian guy and I suffered.
34:23I went to the hospital.
34:25And it's horrible.
34:27Amputees.
34:28People who lost a hand.
34:31It's really sad.
34:32Honestly.
34:33I wouldn't advise anyone to go to war.
34:36Don't go to Russia.
34:39It's a false promise.
34:42They promise you money.
34:43The abuse is verbal.
34:45It's very severe.
34:46They make you sleep on the floor.
34:47They don't give you water.
34:48They don't give you food.
34:49They send you to die.
34:51That's the fate of many, many soldiers that I've seen there from all countries.
34:57They disappeared.
34:59Most of them disappeared.
35:00All of them disappeared.
35:02The numbers.
35:03Approximately, I lost in my battalion.
35:06We were 60 people.
35:09And they died.
35:1143, 44 people.
35:14Despite his statements on his social media,
35:17it's clear that he knew perfectly well
35:19that he wouldn't be working on logistics missions.
35:22Just so local Russophiles understand,
35:25these kinds of ads are a scam.
35:27An Amnesty International report published in September 2026
35:31describes deceptive practices featuring job offers unrelated
35:35to combat such as logistics, security, or support.
35:38After signing, the volunteers face restrictions.
35:41Their movement is restricted,
35:43and they are quickly deployed to the front lines.
35:45Ukraine estimates that tens of thousands of foreigners
35:48from more than 100 countries have joined Russian units through these offers.
35:53Damn!
35:54It's because of people like this that bleach bottles carry a warning not to drink the contents.
36:08Hello, friends!
36:09The intensity of Ukrainian electronic warfare has increased so much
36:13that this team of Russian telecommunication specialists
36:16has been forced to lay telephone cables between command centers and frontline positions.
36:21Russian commanders had planned to replace Starlink with carrier pigeons,
36:25but they had to settle for the Soviet TA-57 field telephone.
36:30The reason?
36:31Field tests with pigeons failed when they discovered that the horde's recruits hailing from the steps
36:37preferred to stew the carrier pigeons instead of reading the messages they carried.
36:42They should also test this low-cost analog system.
36:47A pair of milmi-24 hind-attack helicopters from the army aviation
36:52return to a forward logistics support airstrip after a close air support mission
36:57using a payload of 70mm Hydra rockets sent by Allied nations.
37:03Once the crews have had a few minutes to rest,
37:05and the tanks have been reloaded with ammunition,
37:08they will head back out to the front to work the stop item never stops.
37:13On the technological front,
37:15the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine announced on September 29th
37:19that Ukrainian troops had successfully completed the first operational logistics mission
37:23using a domestically produced amphibious unmanned ground vehicle.
37:28Operators of the Alter Ego Unit,
37:31part of the 93rd Mechanized Brigade Kolodny Yar,
37:34piloted the robotic platform over more than 40km across both land and water
37:40to deliver ammunition and supplies to isolated frontline positions.
37:44This mission represents a practical solution to one of the most persistent limitations of robotic resupply missions.
37:53They're talking about rivers, canals, and swampy areas that frequently disrupt ground routes blocking conventional ground drones,
38:01forcing the use of aerial deliveries which are much riskier.
38:06The new amphibious system maintains great all-terrain mobility on dry land and switches to water navigation mode in a
38:13matter of seconds upon reaching the water,
38:15allowing a single platform to complete the entire route without having to switch vehicles.
38:21The Brave One Tech Innovation Cluster provided the funding to facilitate scaling up from the prototype phase to combat deployment.
38:29The technical specifications and the exact name of the model are being kept confidential for operational security reasons.
38:43Another example of developing new tactics,
38:46Ukrainian drone operators from the 44th Artillery Brigade,
38:49Hetman Danilo Apostol, have made a fundamental shift in how to conduct counter-battery operations.
38:56Working on the Juliapole and Orikiv axes in the Zaporizhia region,
39:00they have made pinpoint drone targeting a central element of their operations.
39:06Russian forces in that sector constantly try to conceal their 152mm heavy artillery systems in tree lines, forests,
39:14inside fortified positions, or between buildings.
39:17To counter this tactic, the Brigade's reconnaissance drones fly constantly, identifying these positions,
39:24and transmitting their coordinates to carry out rapid strikes with swarms of mosquito-attack drones against each howitzer
39:30to ensure their complete neutralization.
39:33In early September, the 44th Brigade destroyed four Mstiravi howitzers and a towed D-20 in a single drone strike.
39:42Previous operations, carried out in July and August, also eliminated groups of five or more artillery pieces
39:48in addition to ammunition depots, which were confirmed thanks to multiple secondary explosions.
39:55This pattern illustrates how Ukrainian units have reversed the dynamics of traditional artillery duels.
40:01Instead of matching Russian artillery gun for gun,
40:04they now combine constant aerial reconnaissance with cheap and precise attack drones
40:08to neutralize Russian fire support at a lower cost and more quickly.
40:13The operational impact on the ground is tangible.
40:17The reduction in the invaders' artillery activity in these sectors limits the volume of fire received by Ukrainian positions,
40:24degrading the enemy's ability to concentrate their heavy fire, thus buying time and space for Ukrainian units to maneuver.
40:32On the sanctions front against the invading Russian Federation's oil industry,
40:37on October 1, Ukrainian defense forces attacked one of Mordor's largest gas processing and petrochemical plants
40:43located in the Samara region, about 900 kilometers from the front line.
40:48The targeted facility produces key chemical intermediates used in the manufacture of explosives and propellants.
40:54According to official Ukrainian statements, among the products manufactured are benzene, phenol, acetone and synthetic ethyl alcohol.
41:04These materials, along with other related compounds, serve as raw materials for filling artillery shells,
41:10aerial bombs, cluster munitions and missiles.
41:13The facility appears to be the Novoquibyshevsk Petrochemical Company,
41:17which is a plant that processes over 1 million tons of hydrocarbons a year
41:22to produce liquefied gases, benzene, phenol, acetone, alpha-methylstyrene, olefins and other intermediate products.
41:29Likewise, it has been identified as Russia's sole domestic producer of synthetic ethanol,
41:34so shutting down its operations is of great interest to keep Ivan from continuing to produce munitions.
41:40You know, as the saying goes, a refinery a day keeps the orcs at bay.
41:46We return to the air war, but this time with bad news,
41:50because the Ukrainian Air Force Command has confirmed that Captain Maratman Vitov,
41:55a 25-year-old flight commander belonging to the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade,
41:59Ghosts of Kiev was killed in combat on October 1st while conducting a mission at the controls of a MiG
42:05-29 fighter jet.
42:06He was conducting missile and bomb strikes against Russian forces in an unspecified sector of the front,
42:14when his aircraft was hit by an enemy missile.
42:17He managed to eject successfully but unfortunately did not survive the injuries he sustained.
42:23Born on July 17, 2001, in the Zapurizya region, Manvetov graduated from the Ivan Koshedub National Air Force University in
42:31Kharkiv.
42:32And he joined the 40th Brigade, a unit operating from the Vasilkiv Air Base,
42:37flying modernized MiG-29 aircraft adapted both for air defense and for ground attack missions.
42:44He had plans to get married and was improving his English in the hope of moving on to pilot Western
42:50aircraft,
42:51an opportunity that ultimately never materialized.
42:55The International Institute for Strategic Studies estimated that Ukraine still had about 14 Soviet-made MiG-29s by the end
43:02of 2025.
43:05The confirmed losses of four aircraft in 2026, including the aircraft destroyed on October 1st, would leave the force with
43:12only 10 units in service.
43:15Before the Soviet invasion, Ukraine operated approximately 50 MiG-29 jets.
43:21Poland and Slovakia transferred about 27 additional aircraft in 2023.
43:26Visually confirmed losses reached 35 planes by mid-2026.
43:32This model remains in frontline service, mainly thanks to its usefulness as a platform for launching Western munitions,
43:39such as AGM-88 anti-radiation missiles, HARMS, and smart glide bombs.
43:44Poland is considering the transfer of up to nine additional MiG-29s that it still keeps operational,
43:50but that deal has not yet materialized.
44:10Hello friends!
44:11The Invading Federation is carrying out a global recruitment campaign that, curiously enough,
44:16is attracting characters from the far left, like the Argentuin Kirchnerist we saw a couple of days ago,
44:21to North American traditionalists.
44:24However, those who make up the majority of the recruited contingent are African men
44:28who at least seem to be quite cheerful upon arriving in Mordor.
44:33My friend Abibi, you have no idea what crazy adventures await you.
44:39In any case, they aren't the only ones being recruited.
44:41The father of a Canadian family that emigrated on a visa for traditional values,
44:46which is the gimmick used to lure gullible people who still believe the fairy tale of a traditionalist Christian Russia,
44:51was surprised to find out he has no chance of getting permanent residency
44:55unless he signs a military service contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense.
44:59And we all know what that means.
45:02A couple of weeks of training only to be deployed to an assault unit,
45:05with little chance of surviving his first mission on the front lines.
45:11After investing his life savings to recreate an episode of the hit 1980s American television series,
45:16Little House on the Prairie,
45:18the family patriarch now faces the decision of ending up as mosquito bait in a Ukrainian trench
45:24or trying to return to Canada.
45:27I regret to inform the gentleman that his victim card has been declined.
45:32In this footage, we see a Ukrainian FP2 drone striking a Pantsir S2 anti-aircraft system during the night of
45:39October 2.
45:40These systems are among favorite targets for drone operators.
45:44It can be seen engulfed in a raging fire that triggers a secondary explosion,
45:48kind we don't see so often anymore, so it is appreciated.
45:51The next day, a Muscovite goes to assess the damage,
45:55but realizes the report will be short since he only needs to write the words,
45:58total loss.
46:01This Pantsir in particular had drawn a lot of attention
46:04because it had been deployed to block passage in one of the corridors
46:07used by Ukrainian strategic strike drones heading toward the invaders' rear,
46:12so it was decided to send an FP2 to ruin the night for the Russian crew of this system,
46:17an objective that I believe we can consider fully accomplished.
46:22The Pantsir S2 is an upgraded version of the Pantsir S1,
46:26which incorporates an improved S-band search radar,
46:29which extends the detection range beyond 40 kilometers,
46:32and optimizes multi-target tracking in addition to using missiles with greater range than those of the base model,
46:38which have also given us some pleasant moments of laughter and fun,
46:41like this one, which almost demilitarized a platoon of fellow infantrymen who were filming it.
46:48On October 2, a long-range Ukrainian reconnaissance and strike drone
46:52demonstrated how unmanned forces patrolled the skies over occupied cities
46:56looking for targets behind Russian lines.
47:00In this case, the raider reached the center of the occupied city of Donetsk,
47:05flying over the empty stands of the… the corner,
47:08to finally hit railcars near the city's train station.
47:12The recording shows the aircraft seamlessly crossing the city's airspace,
47:17which is supposedly protected by an air defense dome that was apparently on vacation that day.
47:23The operators reported that they crossed several zones with active electronic warfare
47:27and had to evade an interception attempt by a Russian vulture,
47:30which failed in its mission thanks to a last-minute maneuver by the Ukrainian operators.
47:35From a stadium, the Ukrainian Mosquito headed toward the train station
47:39where it locked onto a target, successfully striking it
47:42despite the video feed being cut off by Ivan's interference.
47:48On the naval front, in this video we can see the cargo ship Volga 4007,
47:53anchored off the coast of the Turkish city of Trabzon,
47:56showing severe fire damage to its superstructure.
48:00Which is no surprise, considering it was hit by four drones
48:03while leaving the Russian port of Novorossiškan August 20th.
48:09At the time of the attack, the ship had a crew of 13 sailors, of whom five were injured.
48:15In the footage, the anti-drone protection nets are still visible,
48:19but they clearly provided limited protection against the successive strikes from the Ukrainian Mosquitoes.
48:26Other damaged vessels, including dry cargo freighters and fuel tankers,
48:30have sought shelter or inspection in Turkish waters in recent months.
48:36Russian mill bloggers point out that the passive cage-type defenses
48:39installed with increasing frequency on the horde's ships operating in the region
48:43have repeatedly failed to prevent fires or structural damage
48:46when multiple drones hit the target consecutively.
48:52On the aerial front,
48:54Seribis Kresnov, Presidential Technology Advisor, known by the callsign Flash,
48:59reported a case in which a Russian Garamfor one-way attack drone
49:02appears to have shut off its turbojet engine
49:04and continued its flight toward its intended target gliding.
49:10It is not clear whether this was due to a technical failure or a deliberate maneuver
49:14to allow a slower and more accurate final approach
49:16or if it is a strategy to reduce the drone's infrared signature
49:19in order to evade the man-portable missiles protecting Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
49:25The video shows the drone in flight,
49:27and on the tail surfaces, two mesh antennas are visible,
49:30one pointing upward and the other downward,
49:32to connect to the mesh communication system
49:34used by the seeker variants for real-time video transmission and telemetry.
49:41This is not good news, since on Friday afternoon,
49:44the invading Horth further intensified its attack campaign against Kyiv's civilian infrastructure.
49:50When Russian jet drones struck the south bridge over the Dnipro River for the fourth time in two days,
49:56which connects the two parts of the city,
49:58forcing a complete shutdown of car and subway traffic
50:01and imposing severe restrictions on the remaining routes connecting both halves of the capital.
50:08The attacks began Thursday morning,
50:11against the pier of the Pivdini bridge,
50:13while a green-lined subway train was still crossing it.
50:18Although engineers initially found no critical structural damage,
50:21and traffic was able to resume subsequent strikes that same night
50:24and before dawn on Friday damaged the roadway,
50:27a safety barrier, and the concrete shielding over the subway tracks,
50:32by midday the bridge was closed in both directions.
50:35A new attack, occurring around 5.40pm,
50:39sent up a column of smoke on the section that was already closed.
50:44The bridges over the Dnipro had not been direct targets since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022,
50:50despite Russian strikes hitting power plants, warehouses, and residential areas.
50:56Over a third of the capital's approximately 3 million residents live on the left bank,
51:01while most offices, government buildings, and jobs are concentrated on the right bank.
51:08Closing or restricting these crossings turns the daily commute into a bottleneck
51:12that stretches Kyiv residents' travel times by hours, forcing most to cross the river on foot.
51:19On Friday evening, the city faces a rush hour traffic nightmare,
51:23with thousands of people stranded and unable to get back home.
51:27Now, considering that Moscow also relies on multiple bridges to connect the city,
51:32I think these attacks will bring consequences very soon for Muscovites.
