Breaking: Ukrainian drone operators are targeting Russian military logistics routes deep behind front lines

Today, two key innovations determine the course of war more than anything else. Ukrainian Starlink satellite terminals relay video feeds from drones, allowing them to engage moving targets at extremely long ranges, The Times reports.
The publication reported that access to satellite communications also provides Ukrainian troops with secure internet communications and reconnaissance imagery in near real time. "This is truly a fundamental change in the situation, allowing us to begin cutting off Russian logistics routes deep in the rear. And this directly impacts the course of the fighting, as the Russians are facing problems supplying am******on, personnel, am******on, and fuel to the front lines," a Ukrainian soldier with the call sign "Curly Mustache" told the publication.
However, the publication notes, Russia has inexpensive drones with Chinese-made turbojet engines, allowing it to bomb Ukraine's major cities in waves around the clock. Currently, only expensive Western interceptor missiles, which are in short supply, are capable of shooting them down.
The article notes that both sides are trying to turn the enemy's advantage to their advantage.
On the one hand, Ukraine is forcing Russian troops to retreat along the front lines. At the same time, the Kremlin is striking Ukrainian cities with an intensity not seen since the first year of the war.
The publication suggests that Russia is thus trying to leave Ukrainians facing winter, when temperatures drop below freezing, without electricity, heating, or basic sanitation. The article describes how Ukrainian drone operators are attacking Russian military logistics routes deep behind the front lines, with the ultimate goal of cutting Crimea off from Russia entirely.
"This is the road leading to the city of Donetsk. I hope there's something interesting here, like a large truck. It used to be very busy here, but since we started working, the road has been almost empty," said a Ukrainian soldier piloting a drone he'd just launched toward the enemy.
The publication reported that the highways are so deserted that some pilots are being redirected to strike Russian command posts discovered during preliminary reconnaissance and identified using external antennas.
One of the drones loses signal while still over Ukrainian territory. The article suggests it may have been shot down by "friendly" forces.
Another suffers engine failure and crashes shortly after takeoff. However, subsequent Ukrainian drones hit their targets one after another. "Russian trucks, fortifications, and troop deployment points are being hit one after another," the article notes.
The publication noted that the pace of operations is frantic. Fueled by energy drinks and a deep hatred for the enemy, Ukrainian drone operators have completed 200 missions in the past 20 days. For Kaijo, one of a growing number of women volunteering to become pilots, the struggle is personal.
"I have three nieces and nephews, as well as three godchildren. I decided that I wanted them to live in a country where they could choose their own path and opportunities, as well as the language they spoke," the servicewoman said.

Breaking: Drones attack Moscow and the surrounding region: the region's largest oil depot is on fire

Hundreds of drones flew over Moscow and the surrounding region overnight, with footage of drone flights and air defense activity being published online.
"Between 8:30 PM on October 5 and 5 AM on October 6, 650 UAVs were flying toward the Moscow region. Most of them were destroyed by air defense forces at distant borders. 105 drones were destroyed as they approached Moscow," said Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.
Following the attack, footage of the fire began appearing online. Initially, it was reported that the Moscow Oil Refinery was on fire. However, as reported by the Telegram channel ASTRA, an analysis of the published footage revealed that one of the fires occurred in the village of Konstantinovo in the Ramensky urban district of the Moscow region, and that the source of the fire was located on the territory of the Volodarskaya Linear Production and Dispatch Station.
According to local residents, two reservoirs are on fire.
The Volodarskaya Oil Depot is the largest oil depot in the Moscow region. It can separately store and transport gasoline, aviation fuel, and diesel fuel via pipeline. Its annual turnover amounts to 3 million tons of petroleum products.
Raw materials are supplied from the Moscow and Ryazan oil refineries; the station is directly connected to the key airports of the Moscow hub
- Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo.

Breaking: Russian attack injures five and damages residential building in Ukraine's
Zaporizhzhia

Five people were injured in a Russian strike on Ukraine's southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia on Tuesday, local authorities said. According to Associated Press the State Emergency Service reported that a Russian drone struck a high-rise residential building, damaging apartments.
Rescuers evacuated residents, including children and elderly people, from the burning building. A Russian attack also targeted one of the bridges over the Dnipro River in Zaporizhzhia, according to regional head Mykhailo Semikin. Traffic across the bridge was temporarily suspended following the attack, he added.

Breaking: Destroyed Russian Military Vehicles Reportedly Litter Key Road Toward Occupied Crimea

Footage shared by Kanal13 on August 6, 2026, shows a roadway reportedly leading toward the occupied Crimean Peninsula covered with destroyed and damaged Russian military vehicles. The video appears to show the aftermath of attacks against Russian military transport and logistics moving along an important supply route toward Crimea. According to the description accompanying the footage, the destroyed equipment includes military trucks and other vehicles scattered along the road. The scene highlights the vulnerability of Russian logistical movements when equipment is concentrated along predictable routes. Crimea remains an important military hub for Russia, supporting operations in southern Ukraine. Roads connecting the peninsula with occupied territories are used to move fuel, am******on, personnel and military equipment toward frontline areas.
The reported destruction comes amid continued Ukrainian efforts to disrupt
Russian logistics. Similar footage published in August showed damaged Russian military vehicles and fuel convoys along routes supplying Crimea, indicating that logistical corridors remain under pressure. However, the exact date, location and number of vehicles destroyed in the footage cannot be independently established from the available description alone. The footage should therefore be treated as evidence of damaged Russian equipment on a reported Crimea supply route, rather than proof of a specific single attack.
The imagery also does not by itself establish which Ukrainian weapon or unit caused the destruction. Nevertheless, the concentration of destroyed vehicles along the roadway illustrates how attacks on military logistics can disrupt the movement of supplies toward occupied territory.

Breaking: Russia's newest TOS-3 'Dragon' flamethrower destroyed in first confirmed battlefield loss

For the first time, the destruction of Russia's latest TOS-3 "Dragon" heavy flamethrower system has been confirmed on the battlefield, according to Ukrainian military sources. A video shared on social media shows Ukrainian strikes targeting the Russian system, followed by explosions and the destruction of the TOS-3 vehicle. The footage reportedly captures the first confirmed battlefield loss of the newly developed system. Operators of Ukraine's 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade reportedly detected the Russian system moving along a road near the city of Shebekino in Russia's Belgorod region before launching the attack. The TOS-3
"Dragon" is Russia's newest heavy flamethrower system, mounted on a tracked tank chassis. It was developed using operational and combat experience from the earlier TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" and TOS-2 "Tosochka" systems.

Breaking: Crimean Bridge becomes a target for Ukrainian ballistic missiles; Russia strengthened the defense

The Crimean Bridge could become a target for Ukrainian ballistic missiles, but the Russian occupiers have a very sophisticated air defense system there. This was stated on Radio NV by Andriy Ryzhenko, retired Captain First Rank and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Ukrainian Naval Forces from 2004 to 2020.
Answering a question about the production of Ukrainian ballistic missiles and their initial targets, he noted that a cruise missile flies horizontally, while a ballistic missile falls from above, effectively entering near space. "The FP-7 missile, for example, reaches an altitude of 65 kilometers, while its current range is about 200 kilometers. This means the bridge could become a target. It all depends on the type of explosive charge this ballistic missile delivers and whether it can pe*****te air defense systems," Ryzhenko said. He added that the Crimean Bridge's air defense system is "very serious," as it includes S-400 missile systems capable of countering ballistic threats.
"The main thing is how many of these missiles we'll have and when they'll appear. Because this story has been going on for quite some time," the expert emphasized. Ryzhenko recalled that from the very beginning of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' creation, we had the Tochka operational-tactical missile system. This is a ballistic missile with a tactical range of 120 km.
"This missile is powerful. And the FP-7's characteristics more or less remind me of this missile. It may fly a little further. But its operational characteristics are unclear right now," the retired captain noted. He also recalled the Ukrainian Sapsan project, which launched in
2006. "The missile was quite powerful. It reminds me of the Iskander... Back then, the Sapsan's range was actually 500 kilometers, and it could carry 500 kilograms of explosives in its warhead," the expert said. "This is essentially a finished product. I'm a little confused as to why we didn't continue its development and bring it to completion.
Especially since it's now 500 kilometers, not 200.
This rocket could be very easily modified, and it would fly the way we plan for the FP-9-900 kilometers," Ryzhenko noted.
He emphasized that the missile boasts very high speed and sufficient accuracy, which means it could significantly change the situation on the battlefield.
"These strikes could have a very serious strategic effect: both military and political," the expert emphasized. Russia has strengthened the defense of the Crimean Bridge in occupied Crimea, creating a multi-layered defensive zone.
Footage of the new fortifications was published by the Telegram channel Exilenova+.
Russian occupiers are preparing for possible attacks and have therefore established a multilevel defensive zone.
It is indicated that several lines of defense must cover the bridge from possible attacks by surface and underwater unmanned boats of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. According to available information, the main purpose of such structures is to protect vulnerable elements of the illegal strategic facility from potential attacks.
Furthermore, Russian FSB ships patrol the waters.
Russian occupiers are trying to protect Crimea's main strategic asset from a potential attack as much as possible.

Breaking: Ukrainian MiG-29 shot down Russian jet drone with a 1982 missile; it is guided by thermal radiation

Footage of a nighttime interception of a Russian jet drone by a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jet has been published online. The pilot of the upgraded MiG-29MU1 destroyed the target with an R-60M short-range missile. The fighter jet was on an air defense mission. The published footage shows the aircraft approaching the drone's tail, firing a missile that self-homed and, three seconds later, exploded in mid-air. Immediately after the explosion, the pilot steers the fighter to the side, dodging shrapnel. The R-60M is a Soviet compact air-to-air guided missile. It is equipped with an infrared homing head that detects the thermal radiation of a target, primarily the engine. Developed in the USSR in 1973, a modernized version of the R-60M was developed and accepted into service in 1982. The R-60M version is a later modification with a more sensitive thermal homing head and an enlarged warhead. This missile is part of the MiG-29's armament, along with the more modern R-73.
Ukrainian MiG-29s have already been used to destroy Russian jet-powered drones. In September, the Center Air Command published footage of such an interception, noting that the pilot had little time to detect, target, and engage the target.
Recall, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, announced promising news regarding defense against Russian shelling. He announced the development of a new interceptor drone to combat Shahed missiles. According to him, the latest development by Ukrainian engineers has already been used against Russian drones and has proven itself to be effective.
Zelenskyy announced this following a report from
SBU Director Oleksandr Poklad. The president noted that the Security Service's military counterintelligence had successfully shot down Russian UAVS.
Previously, Zelensky had already mentioned the good results of testing the new interceptors.
"There is another positive result of the interceptor tests against the Shaheds: they were shot down," the president said. He announced the scaling of next-generation interceptors.
"Step by step, we are finding answers to Russian threats and creating our own Ukrainian means of pressuring the enemy," Zelensky wrote. He also promised "new and long-range" strikes against the Russian rear.

Breaking: The largest battle of war is taking place in Donbas; Russian forces are massively destroyed?

Russia has concentrated four armies on a relatively narrow front line of just 50 kilometers to advance on the city of Dobropillia in the Donetsk region. Right now, the largest battle of the Russian-Ukrainian war is unfolding in Donbas, military analyst Clément Molin wrote about this on his blog on the social media site X.
According to him, the scale of the fighting for Dobropillia has recently escalated significantly.
Russian troops are sending hundreds of troops into the assault every day, and these hundreds are being killed day after day. Infantry attacks are accompanied by a large number of drones and guided bombs. "The scale of the battle for Dobropillia had rarely been seen before," Molen notes. The expert says Russia is seeking to use this route to further advance toward Kramatorsk, one of the key cities in Donbass that remains under Ukrainian control.
According to Molen's estimates, in recent weeks Russian units have been able to advance south of Dobropillia and gain a foothold there, north and west of the Ukrainian defensive line.
At the same time, in the northern sector, the Russian army was unable to make significant progress, despite numerous attempts to pe*****te Ukrainian positions.
Molen claims that Ukrainian forces carried out counterattacks there and were able to clear some areas that Russian troops had previously pe*****ted.
According to the analyst, while the situation in the Druzhkovka area has stabilized, it is the Dobropillya area that has become the main front line, where the Russians are exerting the greatest efforts. In another post, Molen also analyzes the strategic situation on the front, which is gradually turning against the aggressor. He noted that Russia has held the strategic offensive initiative since October 2023 and has been steadily advancing ever since, despite suffering enormous losses. However, this trend has now begun to reverse, the analyst writes.
"This doesn't mean they've been stopped: they continue to advance at a slower pace, especially in Donbas, but this advance is offset by territory lost to Ukraine," Molen writes, citing statistics on Russian territorial gains and losses over the past three years.
He emphasizes that Russia "is no longer advancing as it used to." As reported, the Defense Forces regained control near Kalynove, near Kupyansk, advancing in the "gray zone" closer to the Oskol River. At the same time, analysts are reporting a Russian offensive near Vasylivka and Shevchenko, located south of Dobropillia. There, the enemy is attempting to advance toward a key defensive center of the Ukrainian forces.
