00:01Hello friends, 500 km from the front lines, at a base Moscow considered an untouchable sanctuary,
00:07two of the most valuable aircraft in the Russian arsenal have just touched down.
00:12However, before the sun rose, only two piles of charred metal captured by satellites remained.
00:21We start with a Russian soldier who used an Igla man-portable surface-to-air missile to shoot
00:26down a Ukrainian attack drone right before it hit its target. Too bad it traveled all that way just to
00:32miss its target, but gave Muscovites something exciting to talk about when they get to work.
00:37Those who, thanks to this, started a new work week completely relaxed.
00:45Another one that missed its target, ruining the start of the week for its operator, was this Russian
00:50Lancet loitering munition which got caught in the protective netting along a road in the Ukrainian
00:54rear, which fulfilled their mission, catching the vulture before it could hit an armored vehicle
00:59moving along that road. It remains to be seen who will be the brave soul to go and disarm it.
01:06The defenders have continued launching balloons, carrying different types of strike drones.
01:11And on Sunday, October 4th, several dozen of them were sent behind Russian lines, like this one
01:16carrying a Starlink antenna through which its operators could launch and control a strike drone
01:21carried as its payload. Unfortunately, before reaching its target, it was identified by the
01:29invaders who intercepted it using one of their drones. This setup allows transporting and controlling
01:35small drones, FPVs, and Hornet strike drones deep into the invaders' rear areas, which saves battery power
01:42and extends the strike range by launching them from high altitude instead of having to cover the entire
01:47distance on their own. However, those that did reach their target were the small drones of the Alpha
01:55Special Operations Center of the Security Service of Ukraine, which attacked the Kanskaya military
02:01airfield in the Republic of Aditya during the night of October 3rd into the 4th, destroying an Su-34
02:07fighter bomber and an Su-35 multirole fighter, as well as an ammunition depot. This base is located
02:14about 500 kilometers from territory under Ukrainian control. Satellite imagery captured on the morning
02:22of October 4th shows the two aircraft fuselages completely burned with extensive scorch marks and
02:27wreckage consistent with destruction on the ground. The aircraft were not at the base the day before,
02:34which indicates they arrived shortly before the attack and were likely being refueled and armed
02:39at that time. NASA's firm's system registered high-temperature thermal anomalies on the airfield's
02:46perimeter during the early morning, coinciding with local reports of the sound of drone engines,
02:52air defense activity, and secondary explosions that began around 1 o'clock a.m., local time,
02:57and continued for several hours. The Aelfia group stated that both aircraft were actively participating
03:05in launching Cavglide bombs against Ukrainian positions and cities near the front. So many victories
03:12must be exhausting for the invaders. In any case, Alpha's work isn't limited to carrying out strategic
03:21strikes. They also dedicate part of their focus to helping out Ukrainian infantry.
03:28To boost their effectiveness, they decided to work together with the 12th Special Purpose Brigade
03:35Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine through joint mission planning, direct exchange of techniques
03:40between crews, and leveraging complementary strengths such as the frontline integration of drone companies
03:46within Azov's infantry battalions and Alpha's expertise in sudden massive strikes with unmanned systems.
03:53Azov officers pointed out that during 2025, approximately 92% of the targets in their sector
04:00were destroyed using unmanned systems, which are organized on three levels. First, drone companies
04:07integrated into the infantry battalions for short-range tactical operations. An unmanned systems battalion
04:13dedicated to operational coverage behind the front lines, and another battalion at the Army Corps level
04:18for long-range operations behind Russian lines.
04:22Ula Voinvordesat Alpha provides teams specialized in massive attacks using FPV and fiber-optic guided
04:29attack drones, which have a huge impact targeting infantry concentrations like vehicles and electronic warfare
04:35systems. The coordination model is therefore based on joint planning and direct collaboration between
04:41operators allowing tactical reconnaissance and attack drones from both organizations to operate in the
04:46same sectors against small groups and Russian logistics without duplicating efforts.
04:51Thanks to the work between both units, personalized attention has been delivered to 5,393 invading
04:58orcs, 8,930 reconnaissance and attack drones, 896 electronic warfare systems and antennas, 562 vehicles and
05:07motorcycles, 55 artillery systems and 21 armored vehicles. On the technological front, the company Firepoint
05:17released a descriptive video of its FPV Flamingo long-range strike system, which has established itself
05:23as one of Ukraine's primary instruments of power projection deep in the Russian rear. Although due to
05:29its enormous size, it is susceptible to the invaders' air defenses. Its great range forces Ivan to disperse his
05:36remaining missile batteries to protect his critical industrial facilities deep within his country
05:41and cover the likely approach routes, which must also be patrolled by their A-50 early warning aircraft
05:47and Sukhoi-30 fighter bombers, which this way burn through their flight hours and cannot operate near the
05:53combat front. The defenders have been adapting the Flamingo's combat tactics, which are now launched in
06:00flocks of four to six missiles, achieving between two and three hits per raid, which are usually enough to
06:07destroy or at least disable the target, which is hardly a surprise, considering that the Ukrainian birds
06:14carry a warhead of over a ton. The production pledge by Firepoint itself is 100 units per minute on
06:21Thumavut, with the potential to manufacture several thousand a year. However, that promise has clashed with the
06:27low availability of suitable jet engines, contract delays and funding issues added to the constant
06:33Russian strikes on Ukraine's production infrastructure, which has limited the pace of production.
06:38Its deployment complements the work of the FP-1 and FP-2 strategic attack drone swarms, since by drawing
06:44the attention of Ivan's anti-aircraft defenses, it allows the Mosquitos to slip through more easily to their targets.
06:57On the eastern bank of the Nigbro, a humanitarian emergency is unfolding, about which we had very
07:01little information. It's about the isolation of the civilian population in the town of Oleski,
07:07a town located right across from the city of Kherson, whose residents have not received supply
07:11since May of this year, and who have also been unable to leave the town due to their age. Health
07:17problems,
07:17or because they lost their documents during the floods caused by the destruction of the Novakarkovka
07:22Dam in 2023, leaving them unable to prove their identity to the occupiers. So, they won't let them
07:29move to the rear. Footage recorded by a reconnaissance drone released on October 3rd shows groups of
07:36civilians traveling on motorcycles, bicycles, and on foot along rural roads near Oleski, moving in single
07:43file, trying to cross the minefields covering several sectors of that community. Before the war,
07:50Oleski had about 24,000 residents, and currently around 2,000 people remain in the urban center.
07:57Among them, they, on September 30, Ukrainian authorities reported one dead and four injured
08:04by mine explosions along the exit routes. When a group attempted to leave the town, since the residents
08:09would rather risk stepping on a mine than slowly starve and die of thirst. Ukraine has carried out
08:16at least two aerial aid drops, delivering 400 food packages, medicines, and supplies for children using
08:22drones, although some of the shipments were confiscated by Russian forces. Russia has refused to open a
08:29humanitarian evacuation corridor, despite the willingness of the International Committee of the
08:33Red Cross to oversee the movement and the willingness of Ukrainians to cooperate.
08:38The situation is so dire that the defenders even organized the evacuation of several puppies from
08:43a house to prevent them from starving to death or being eaten by desperate locals.
08:50To carry out the operation, the Perun unit designed a transport cage, which was suspended from a vampire
08:56bomber drone, which flew to a rescue point, where it picked up the puppies to transport them to the safe
09:02side of the river. For those who want to see additional content, we invite you to subscribe to our
