Transcript

00:00My friends, today I have compiled you in a chronological order everything that has happened

00:05to Russia, in Russia and in this war for the last few days or even a little bit back in

00:11time because

00:11something big came out. On the 12th of September, a Russian general was assassinated. He didn't die

00:18in battle. He was assassinated deliberately by Ukrainian secret services using a Firepoint 1

00:24drone. Two Firepoint 1 drones. This is what we will begin with. On 12th of September, the Russian

00:314th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade General Leader Commander was assassinated. He was Major

00:41General Anton Grunis and we have a video of the Ukrainians doing it. This is Ukrainian drone

00:47slamming into his house where he is at in Donetsk Oblast. I mean, this is not an attack against

00:56armored vehicles, against fuel silos. It's an attack against the civilian house where a general was

01:02perhaps living or sleeping. We don't know. He was in that house. The Ukrainians knew it. How did they

01:08know it? Will this ghost compliment the Ukrainian secret services? He was definitely given away by

01:14the Russian side. Either the Ukrainians bought that information or they had spies or they had some

01:19GPS trackers planted onto the general. You can have a million ideas how this could have happened,

01:25but one is certain. The secret services of Ukraine have once again proved that they are capable of

01:31doing such missions time and time again. It's not the first time they do this. Slamming into a house

01:36where the general is sleeping. The other second drone goes. The house is already on fire and it still

01:43goes into it. Double tap. Now, this is no small loss. This general was very highly valued in the

01:51Russian army. Everybody spoke highly of him. And by the way, two weeks ago, he got the Hero of Russia

01:57medal. And here you can see him receiving that medal. So he is, he was a hero of Russia that

02:04Ukraine just

02:05assassinated. What this goes to show is that no general is safe. Generals are supposed to be out of

02:13this combat. They are the highest of the high in the military near the front lines. They're supposed

02:18to be highly guarded. Their location secret obsec all over the place when they move, when they eat,

02:24when they s**t. Well, this general was taken out of that equation. Ukraine just broke those rules. So

02:29there are tens and tens, if not over a hundred generals taking part in this war being in the combat

02:35zone, Tonezhk being the combat zone, how do they feel? Do they know if somebody gives their location

02:41away? Do they know if their location is being tracked by a device connected to their cars or into

02:47their pocket of their jackets? The paranoia that starts in their heads. Now, that's something that

02:53is hard to put a price tag on. The fear that now begins in the highest echelons of the Russian

02:59army.

02:59Am I next? And if a general is thinking that, that fear and paranoia will spread down the command

03:05chain. They will find somebody to blame. It will just stir up so much bad stuff. By the way, these

03:11strikes on the command posts, we see texts about this all the time. Mostly we don't get videos on

03:17them. This is kind of rare. We got the drone footage. But this hits on command posts once a month.

03:23You

03:23read them, you forget about them. But I just want to read you this analysis that brings out that in

03:28every one of these strikes, high-ranking officers perish. The Russian command structure in occupied

03:33Donetsk keeps leaking obituaries. Each one confirms the August 26th strike. Hit exactly what Ukraine

03:41said it hit. August 26th there was another hit against the command post. No footage. So no military

03:47bloggers spend much time on it. You cannot show nothing. We don't know who got hit. We just know a

03:52cluster of high-ranking officers lost their lives. Well, now obituaries start to come out in Russia.

03:58We can connect them. So only after math you get that information. Not a shopping mall. Not a civilian

04:04gathering point. A layered command infrastructure. So these are the confirmed obituaries connected to

04:10this August 26th strike. Lieutenant Colonel Andrey Moisienko. Lieutenant Colonel Denis Pavlov.

04:17Then more. Colonel Vassil-Latyshev. These are the three highest ones right now and obituaries keep

04:23on coming. Just to illustrate that if you see a command post hit by the Ukrainians, you know that in

04:29one or two months you might find out which colonel or major lost their life. But now let's go back

04:35to

04:35Anton Grunis, the general that was just assassinated on 12th of September. And of course, I'm sure you want to

04:41know how this Russian man reacts to it. I don't know how to call him propagandist or blogger or a

04:49clown. Wannabe Brigosin. I don't know. But he's entertaining and he has some valuable opinions to

04:55us. And now he's talking about the assassination of the general. Let's see what he has to say.

05:00Hello everyone, my dears. Hello, hello. So generals are still being killed here. That question has always

05:06really annoyed me. How do you locate a command post so quickly? Because the Russian generals,

05:10it's a good question. They move around. They're not stupid. They know they're being hunted. So they

05:15move around, they follow OPSEC and still they're being assassinated by Ukrainians. How? After all,

05:21he's thoroughly decent chap. That's the general who was killed. His callsign was Grozny. Actually,

05:28I'm always trying to listen from the bottom up to get to know a person. He truly was a most

05:33admirable

05:33man. A man of great dignity. Both as a general and as a father and as simply as a soldier

05:39of Russia.

05:39Another rat must have got in. The bitch must have bugged their effing GPS tracker for sure.

05:46I'm sure of it. I think that's how the commander of the first brigade was lost. That's how the 8th

05:54army was lost. Two weeks later, they moved away and everything went to hell again. That's how Varyag

05:59died. Talking about the high-ranking officers who have perished in similar matters because Ukrainians

06:05have done this continuously for the last few years. They have assassinated Russian high-ranking

06:10officers. It was to this very workshop that the Khamers flew in. After all, those pastors work

06:16systematically. They track people down. Yes, I've always said that SBU and Hur work a little bit

06:23like the Israeli Mossad. If Bucha was commanded, if there were people responsible for it, Ukrainians

06:31have hunted them down year by year. Wherever they are, deep inside Russia, we've seen car bombs going

06:37off 1,500 kilometers into Russia. Still, they know the trajectory of that person moving back and home,

06:44back to work, back to home, which car, which is the route. And they set a bomb. A few years

06:49later,

06:50he explodes. No headlines, nothing. Just an obituary. Buy information. They're buying. Our

06:55effing traitors. And there is all that. It's a shame that we don't respond firmly. There's nothing

07:01Russians can really do, honestly. They're doing everything. They are killing children. They're

07:06killing women. Bombing their elderly houses, their nursing homes. I mean, what else can they do? They

07:11do all the terrorist stuff that there is. There's nothing else to do. I've seen all kinds of videos of

07:17mutilations and everything. There's nowhere to escalate. Oh, it's so bad we're not firm enough.

07:22But they are. They're as firm as they can be. There's nothing else the Russians can do. We sit

07:28in silence, munching away, listening to all sort of damn rubbish. I'm not gonna go on. He goes on to

07:34be

07:34a clown and yap on about it. But you get the idea the general was a well-loved and respected,

07:39took part

07:40of the battles of Bucha. So, he's an occupier. He's a war criminal. And the world is better off

07:47without him. My friends, I have had this wallet longer than my phone. It is older even than my

07:53marriage. And of course, a lot older than my baby daughter. This is my trusty workhorse of a wallet,

07:59Ekster. They first sponsored my channel years ago and I still use the very same wallet. Time for an

08:04upgrade. This is my new Ekster wallet pro, which holds seven cards on its main compartment, plus many,

08:12many cards in any of its other compartments, external or internal. I mean, this thing fits it

08:18all. Even cash. It is made out of handcrafted Italian vachetta leather and you can really feel

08:25it in your hand. What can I say? It's a high-end and extremely durable wallet that has served me

08:31for

08:31years and it will serve you the same. By the way, this beautiful slim thing is Ekster's tracker card.

08:38So slim, it fits in any wallet. It has a whopping 10 months of battery life on one charge only.

08:45Connect it to your Find My app on your phone and you will never lose your wallet again. But since

08:50me

08:50and my wife are going on our first travel trip with our baby daughter, luggage packing space will become

08:56an issue. Baby clothes, baby wipes. I mean, my baby has more things packed than I do. My wife looks

09:03to

09:03that. I have to make sure there's enough room for it all. For this, I am using Ekster's Travel Pack

09:09Vacuum Kit Pro. After filling it with baby clothes, I connect the pump and it sucks out the air, reducing

09:16its size three times. I wish it would reduce my body fat the same, but it performs miracles on the

09:22baby clothes.

10:01Now, my friends, let's go to the front lines. The Lehman counter-offensive. Ukraine has liberated 420

10:08square kilometers in four months. That's the Lehman salient when the Russians penetrated over the

10:14Serebretz river and it was one of their major offensive operations in the last two years. Now,

10:21Ukrainians have pushed it back in four months. People go crazy about this and I'm again here to plant

10:26everyone's feet to the earth again. This is a very successful Ukrainian counter-offensive,

10:32but it is localized. 420 square kilometers is a very tiny area compared to the whole of the front line.

10:38It is a great success, but we must take it as it is. It is pushing one of Russian offensive

10:43operations

10:44back and that's all it is. That always has been and they have done it really successfully, the Ukrainians.

10:50And it is a great loss for the Russians because they did lose a lot of men. I'm talking tens

10:55and

10:55tens of thousands of men taking this small salient right here over the Serebretz river. Even Russian

11:01military blogger, the biggest one, Rebar has come out and admitted the loss of this 420 square kilometers.

11:08You can see the river right here running north to south, this blue area, and Ukrainians in one or two

11:14areas

11:14have already crossed the river. Nobody knows how far Ukrainians are gonna push now, but if something's true,

11:21it's this. Whoever side, whichever side is conducting offensive operations in this war, is losing a lot of men.

11:29That is the truth that nobody wants to hear. Ukraine is mostly on the defense in the last three years.

11:35Now that they are conducting this specific offensive operation in Lima, they've done it successfully,

11:41but the uncomfortable truth is that they are losing a lot of men because this is how these

11:45rules of this war are going right now. So if Ukraine continues with the offense and

11:50crosses the Serebretz river, which they have done on one occasion, then they still have reserves.

11:56And I'm glad to see this, but everybody who draws arrows on a map should know that the offensive

12:02side loses two times more men, perhaps three times more men even. What the Russians don't understand

12:09and what's really admirable about this specific Ukrainian operation is the OPSEC, operational

12:14security that the Ukrainians down to the very last soldier actually followed. Russians don't really follow

12:19it because they try to push out more propaganda. They send men out with flags, who plant it in some

12:26gray area, they film it from a drone, the men die immediately, but they get the drone footage at

12:31least, they claim the city is liberated, they show it to Putin, yada yada. This is all propaganda. What

12:36Ukrainians did with this specific operation is that they didn't do anything with the media. No pictures,

12:42no photos, something small leaked here and there, but nothing too big for anybody to raise eyebrows. So

12:49it was really the OPSEC was followed. I didn't cover it, nobody covered it. And now the Russians wonder

12:54why Ukrainians did it, because up until this point both sides have done these flag planting operations,

13:00heavy shouting when something is attacked or defended. Here is Oleg Tsarev, one of the Russian bloggers.

13:06It is interesting that Ukraine is conducting its offensive near Krasny Liman in complete silence.

13:11There are no victory reports, no demonstrative flag striking. And now when Ukraine is asking West for

13:17additional funding, it's crucial to demonstrate that it's effective, that it's on the offensive.

13:22But Kiev is silent. The entire offensive is taking place in information silence. This is a new tactic.

13:28It truly is. Unfortunately, many people don't like to listen to it, but Ukraine also has conducted these

13:34flag planting operations just for the drone footage. Men have died. That's how it is. So I'm very

13:41glad to see this, by the book, NATO OPSEC being followed on this offensive operation. It's one of

13:48the first times. It must be said that this is an effective tactic. If loud statements were made,

13:54the Russian Federation leadership would hear them, but now apparently the information is not getting

13:59through. War correspondents with rare expectations are silent. No one wants the trouble. Ukraine is also

14:05silent. Everything is quiet. This is how it should be in war. This is how a NATO doctrine of warfare

14:11happens. This is on paper, at least how it's supposed to happen. And Ukraine has now demonstrated that they

14:16can follow it, of course, with one of their most elite units, with the 1st Army Corps. But still,

14:22I'm very glad to see it. Let's continue with the dates. I have 13th, 15th, 16th and 17th of September.

14:30Each date has a surprise for us. Let's go 13th of September. Nijnakom's refinery. I covered it in

14:36the previous video. We all watched this video of the drone slamming into it. It's quite far deep into

14:42Russia, far away. There are a lot of migrant workers here. These are migrant barracks. We all know this.

14:47In this previous video, we covered it. What's new about it is we now have footage of the Russians who,

14:54you know, they tried to shoot down these drones, of course. And I always say what goes up comes back

14:59down. You see tens of thousands of rounds going up in the air. These Star Wars lasers, tracer rounds,

15:05five invisible bullets in between of these tracer rounds. We're talking tens and tens and tens of

15:10thousands that go up and come back down. We never usually get to see the footage of what it does

15:15to

15:16cars and apartment buildings. Look at that. These cars have gotten bullets. The roofs have bullets

15:26hole in them. All these cars that have blankets over them, they have bullet holes in them because Russian

15:33AD fire, the bullets came back down. Look at that. Destroyed windshields, destroyed windows.

15:39A person could get hit. So this Russian chaotic anti-air fire with small arms. Look at that

15:49windshield. It's destroyed. Roof destroyed. This literally destroys cars, apartment windows, shops,

16:03everything. Even when the bullets hit the asphalt, they do ricochets still and cars. You look at two

16:08bullet holes in the front, one in the hood. The bullets don't lose majority of their velocity,

16:18they lose a little bit of their velocity and they go back down in the ballistic trajectory and they hit

16:23the car with almost the same strength they went up with. Not quite, but almost. And that will destroy your

16:28engine block your windows and it can kill. So yeah, it's good to see a video of that. We never

16:34do see

16:34like the aftermath of when these bullets come back down. 15th of September. Sizran oil refinery went kaboom.

16:44And by the way, this refinery is Ukrainians favorite target. This refinery has been struck. I kid you not.

16:51Let's count. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 times. That's the 12th time. March 16,

17:012024 was the first time and that's when the oil refinery strikes pretty much started. And now for

17:06two and a half years, this refinery has gotten 12 strikes and it's still going. So I gotta give it

17:13to them. I mean, they repaired their damage and they still go on with it. But I mean, what are

17:18they fighting?

17:18Wind mills. Ukrainian drones will destroy that refinery 100%. And it took fire quite beautifully.

17:25As you can see, the footage is wonderful. Always like to see something burning in Russia. For the 12th

17:31time, this refinery provides wonderful footage. It just keeps on giving. So now we go to September 16th

17:38and we go to Taganrog where the Russian Beriev Aerospace Manufacturing Complex. That's what it is.

17:46And this is no small or let's repair a few civilian aircraft. No, this one was building and repairing

17:53A-50s. These are the Russian AWACS. A-100s, the new AWACS. Tu-95s, these are the nuclear bombers,

18:00strategic bomber fleet. Tu-142s and Beriev 200 amphibious aircrafts in production. I mean,

18:07this facility is the alpha and omega of Russian aerospace production and Ukrainians just struck it.

18:13But the story begins a little bit earlier. 13th of September, three days ago before 16th of this

18:19attack, Ukrainians actually destroyed the only remaining air defense system in this city. So

18:24three days later, they send in a carnage of cruise missiles and drones to the Beriev Aerospace

18:30Manufacturing Complex and dismantle it. This is no small complex. Also, it's a massive cluster of buildings

18:37and hallways and the production facilities. And NASA firm's maps places a fire on top of all of them. So

18:45this has had to be something big that Ukraine used. With drones, you can make a fire like that if

18:52it's a

18:52wild bears or ozone. But for a factory, not so easy. You need, I think, cruise missiles. And of course,

19:00this fire cast a nice little shadow of smoke all over Doganrog, the city. So everybody got to breathe

19:08in the Ukrainians and freedom. And now, finally, we get to 17th of September, which was yesterday.

19:14And we immediately go to Rostov military airfield. And I love this because this video shows us,

19:21first of all, the ANS aircraft fire. We just talked about it. Whatever goes up, comes down. So they're

19:26shooting up the cars in Rostov. They're shooting up the cars in every city where you see the

19:31Russian AD fire. It's quite deadly. Oh, it's right above us. Look at that. Something is already hit

19:40and burning and they're trying to shoot down more drones. Right above the house.

19:48You can hear the drone. And if you hear the drone, that means the drone is near you and you're

19:53in a

19:54painelka and they're shooting the drone, meaning they're going to shoot near you. And they don't

19:58give a damn that you're a civilian in a painelka. They will shoot you up. We saw a video of

20:03the bullets

20:04hitting the cars. They will hit the apartment buildings also. So this is where two of the videos

20:09were filmed on the Rostov airfield. We're going to watch that video. It's an amazing video of explosions.

20:14This is geolocations and we can get the area of where these explosions happened. By the way,

20:22we now know that three helicopters were blown up. So this was wonderful. One of them had a crew inside.

20:29Let's watch this whole video because this, you know, the manner of the fire, you know, the shade of it,

20:34the lightness of it. This gives you an idea of what is burning and if you know what was struck,

20:39you can get an idea specifically. Rostov airfield, military airfield, what it has, fuel and ammunition.

20:45Let's see which one is this. This explosion and the secondary explosions like this flashes,

20:52it's always ammunition cooking off. There are no new drones arriving right now and this explosion happens

20:59like fireworks. This is ammunition depot 100%. Seeing a hundred of them glowing up in flames,

21:06they always burn like that. And if I'm not mistaken, we got another explosion. So another ammunition dump going up

21:15in flames.

21:18Boom, here it is. That's a beautiful fireball. Always love it. I used to see that 22, 23 Russians piled

21:29up their

21:29ammunition literally naked on the sky in the front lines. I don't know what they were thinking. Ukraine kept

21:35blowing them up and back then Russians had a gazillion tons of ammunition, munitions, everything. Small arms,

21:42fire, artillery rounds, just explosives, anti-tank mines. They just piled them up on the front lines

21:48in literal piles. All Ukraine did was drop a drone, drop a grenade or drop a bomb in them from

21:55a drone.

21:56Saw countless videos from them. It was beautiful to watch. I do miss these videos. So this, even though filmed

22:02from a far away, still warms my heart. Very nice. Two ammunition stockpiles cooked off, but not only my

22:12friends. Antonov-12, Antonov-26 and three MI8s. One of them had a whole crew inside. Maybe I'll cover that

22:19on Monday when we get the names and obituaries. But September 17th, bad enough for Russia doesn't end

22:26yet. The Slavneft, Janos oil refinery in Jaroslavl was struck also September 17th. This refinery has

22:34been struck also for gazillion times. I don't complain. We need good footage. We need burning Russia.

22:43So if you can get a new refinery, strike an old one. Does the job. It's a massive refinery. It's

22:50a big

22:50one. So I'm guessing it takes many more hits to take this offline fully. Finally, we're at the end

22:56of this video, end of the week, and we have caught up of what is burning in Russia. It's a

23:00lot of a lot
