00:00Hello friends, we start with the reconnaissance Mosquitoes of Ukraine's 43rd Artillery Brigade,
00:05who identified a rare Russian Arbis-type radar system operating in a rural area.
00:10Following initial detection, the radar vehicle began maneuvering along various dirt roads,
00:16changing positions clearly following standard tactics to the letter to avoid detection
00:20and thus evade potential counter-battery fire.
00:25Ukrainian operators maintain continuous tracking, transmitting precise coordinates to a nearby
00:30artillery unit equipped with a multiple rocket launcher system, HIMARS, which launched just a
00:36single guided rocket of the GMLRS type, which, upon reaching the Arbis's position, not only ruined
00:42its paint job, but also ruined the entire week for the team of Russian technicians operating it.
00:47The Arbis is a relatively new Russian multifunctional radar that entered service in 2024
00:53and is mounted on the chassis of a high-mobility, cross-country truck.
00:59It is primarily designed for artillery as a counter-battery asset, to detect incoming artillery
01:04and rocket fire, calculate trajectories, and pinpoint the coordinates of enemy firing positions.
01:10According to Ivan, it also reportedly has a secondary air surveillance capability,
01:15detecting aircraft and drones at ranges of up to 150 kilometers.
01:19Its scarcity on the battlefield makes its destruction significant, since every system destroyed
01:25reduces the invaders' ability to quickly pinpoint Ukrainian artillery and adjust their own return fire.
01:32Oh, very nice!
01:33Too bad it didn't detect the HIMARS coming for it.
01:37Another group of invaders who had a bad day were those who took shelter in the remains of a solid
01:43rural building,
01:44where their movement was detected by a recon mosquito, which proceeded to call in a heavy delivery,
01:50in the form of a demolition charge consisting of two different TM-62 anti-tank mines dropped by a bomber
01:57hexacopter,
01:57which rolled gracefully right inside the redoubt.
02:01I wonder what the invaders' faces looked like when they saw the gifts sent by their kind Ukrainian neighbors rolling
02:07right into their basement.
02:10The excellent work of the hexacopters across all kinds of missions, but especially as heavy-precision bombers,
02:17has led Ivan to instruct his drone operators to prioritize the destruction of these aircraft
02:21as soon as they encounter them in flight.
02:24The difference in cost is substantial given that an attack vulture from the Horde costs a few hundred dollars,
02:30while a hexacopter capable of carrying a payload of up to 32 kilos can cost several thousand.
02:37The operators of a Ukrainian unmanned ground vehicle belonging to the 25th Airborne Brigade
02:43of the 7th Air Assault Corps destroyed a Russian attack drone by deliberately ramming it,
02:48while returning from a combat mission.
02:52The incident took place on the Pokrovsk's front, when the NRK-type ground robotic system was moving along
02:58a rural road in open terrain, when a Horde vulture approached from above with obvious malicious intent,
03:04diving down to ground level to attempt to strike the vehicle.
03:09Evasive maneuvers prevented the impact, but failed to break the pursuit.
03:14But when the drone pulled up right alongside it, the operator made a sharp turn, causing the UGV's
03:21side panel to hit the approaching drone, slamming it to the ground, and disabling it.
03:26Afterward, the Ukrainian robot continued its return to base.
03:32Another ground drone that had a very productive day, was this system from the NS-13 unit of
03:37Ukraine's 3rd Army Corps which was advancing through wooded terrain toward a Russian position
03:42in the context of Operation Vivaldi. The Russian troops at the position spotted the vehicle,
03:48and decided to close into point-blank range, at which point they stopped to prepare a grenade to destroy the
03:53intruding robot. Unfortunately for them, the situation was being monitored by the drone operators,
03:59who simply pressed the button that detonated the explosive charge it was carrying,
04:03which resulted in an immediate deputonization of the position and of the invaders occupying it.
04:10Unit NS-13 Under the command of 2nd Lieutenant Nikola Zinkovic, alias Makar, has specialized in using
04:19unmanned ground attack vehicles to carry out direct assaults, sabotage missions, and area denial
04:25operations, equipping their vehicles with disposable grenade launchers, which are driven into Ivan's
04:31shelters to carry out an express, redecorating process. They are also transported via bomber drones,
04:38more than 10 kilometers behind Russian lines, from where they continue advancing under their own power,
04:43against command or logistics positions of the Horth previously identified by reconnaissance.
04:57I've been wanting to share this story for days, because to mark the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's
05:02independence, the Lazare group of the National Guard of Ukraine took to the skies with their drones,
05:07heavy bombers in a coordinated formation, as part of the country's first military parade,
05:12composed exclusively of unmanned combat systems. The event, held on August 24 in Kyiv, showcased
05:20nearly 100 Ukrainian-made platforms for aerial ground and maritime operations. The interesting
05:26thing is that all of the Lazare group's aircraft were controlled individually by their respective pilots.
05:32In the footage, you can see how the formation with dozens of mosquitoes takes flight and moves in a
05:37perfectly coordinated manner to travel across the capital skies. The video makes it possible to
05:43identify systems such as Lazare-LS and the LF-400 fixed-wing reconnaissance and attack platform.
05:51The Lazare group has specialized in the operation of heavy bomber drones, which are developed and
05:57manufactured by the unit itself. According to reports from Ukraine's general staff, this unit is credited with
06:04destroying over 2,000 tanks and tens of thousands of other targets since 2022, with the cumulative value
06:10of the destroyed equipment estimated at between $12 and $15 billion.
06:17On the strategic strike front, long-range mosquitoes paid an inspection visit on the night of October 8,
06:24to a major data center operated by the company Yandex, Russia's leading provider of online services and
06:30artificial intelligence. The arrival of the mosquitoes forced a complete suspension of operations at the
06:38facility and caused disruptions in the availability of various digital services, which are equivalent to
06:43those provided by Google in the rest of the world. Yandex confirmed that the raiders caused a fire that damaged
06:50a
06:50large part of the infrastructure at its data center in Sassovo, which is one of the five largest facilities
06:55of this kind operated by the company. No casualties were reported, and emergency crews secured the site,
07:02but the company stated that the full extent of the damage is still being assessed, and it is not yet
07:07possible to determine if the equipment can be recovered. The Sassovo facilities are located within a joint
07:14complex alongside the Sassovo facilities, which is a precision machinery plant situated 550 kilometers
07:21from the Ukrainian border, and it doesn't just house dozens of people, thousands of servers. It also
07:27houses two of Yandex's supercomputers named Lyapunov and Chervonenkis, built with Nvidia A100 chips and used
07:35to train the company's artificial intelligence model, which is called, and I'm not kidding you, Yandex GPT.
07:43According to the company, core services for the average Russian consumer, such as the search engine,
07:48remained largely operational. However, users and monitoring platforms recorded widespread issues
07:54across Yandex Disk, Yandex Documents, Yandex Mail, and other dependent services. See, just like Google.
08:04Third-party services relying on this infrastructure also suffered outages, including real estate platforms,
08:10media outlets, Russian railways, telecom providers, and banking apps.
08:16This represents the first major confirmed attack against Russia's data center infrastructure since
08:22the beginning of the invasion. And it comes after weeks of Russian attacks against Ukrainian data centers,
08:27so it would be a response to the invaders' campaign.
08:32To wrap up, not everything is ultra-high tech. In this case, the defenders are using biological sensors to
08:40detect incoming artillery which rush to sound the alarm from inside the trench. Naturally. This is the 300th
08:48time a cat has been used at a combat position.
