00:28As
00:30Although sure, I'll show up
00:33No, I don't take shit, I got no love
00:35For the fakeness
00:38If you wanna play tough, and wanna hate this
00:41I'll always show up
01:00Hello friends, 500 kilometers from the front line
01:03At a base that Moscow considered an untouchable sanctuary
01:05Two of the most valuable aircraft in the Russian arsenal
01:08Have just landed
01:11However, before the sun came up
01:12There were only two piles of charred metal left
01:15Captured by satellites
01:19We begin with a Russian soldier
01:21Using a portable Igla anti-aircraft missile
01:24To shoot down a Ukrainian drone
01:25Just before it reached its target
01:27It's a shame to have traveled from so far away
01:30Only to miss its target
01:31But it gave the Muscovites something exciting
01:33To talk about when they get to work
01:35Thanks to this
01:36They started a new work week completely relaxed
01:43Another one that didn't reach its target
01:45Ruining the start of the week for its operator
01:47Was this Russian Lancer loitering munition
01:49Which got caught in the protective nets
01:51Of a highway behind Ukrainian lines
01:54And they fulfilled their mission
01:55Catching the vulture before it hit an armored vehicle
01:57That was moving along that road
02:00We'll have to see who will be brave enough
02:02To go and deactivate it
02:04The defenders have continued launching aerostats
02:07That carry different types of attack drones
02:09And on Sunday, October 4th
02:11Several dozen of them were sent behind Russian lines
02:13Like this one that carried a Starlink antenna
02:16Through which its operators could launch
02:18And control the attack drone it carried
02:19As its strike payload
02:23Unfortunately, before reaching its target
02:25It was identified by the invaders
02:27Who intercepted it using one of their ships
02:31This setup allows for transporting
02:33And controlling mosquitoes, FPVs
02:36And Hornet attack drones
02:37To areas deep in the invaders' rear
02:39Which saves battery power
02:40And extends the attack range
02:42By launching them from high altitude
02:44Instead of having to cover the entire distance autonomously
02:50However, those who did reach their target
02:53Were the mosquitoes
02:54From the Alpha Special Operations Center
02:56Of the Security Service of Ukraine
02:57Who attacked the Kansai military airfield
03:00In Ediyye
03:01During the night of October 3rd to 4th
03:04Destroying a Su-34 fighter bomber
03:06And a Su-35 multirole fighter
03:08As well as an ammunition depot
03:11This base is located about 500 kilometers
03:14From territory under Ukrainian control
03:17The satellite images taken on the morning of October 4th
03:21Show the two aircraft fuselages completely burned out
03:24With extensive burn marks and debris
03:26Consistent with destruction on the ground
03:29The aircraft were not at the base the previous day
03:32Which indicates that they arrived shortly before the attack
03:35And were probably being refueled and armed at that time
03:40NASA's FIRM system recorded high-temperature thermal anomalies
03:43Within the perimeter of the airfield
03:45During the early morning hours
03:47Coinciding with local reports of drone engine sounds
03:50Anti-aircraft defense activity
03:51And secondary explosions
03:53That began around 1 a.m. in local time
03:56And continued for several hours
03:58The Alpha Group stated that both aircraft
04:01Were actively participating in the launch of Giavglide bombs
04:05Against Ukrainian positions and cities near the front
04:09So many victories must be exhausting for the invaders
04:14In any case, Alpha's work is not limited to carrying out strategic attacks
04:19They also devote part of their attention to providing welcome services to horde infantry
04:24Who have lost their way and find themselves inside Ukraine
04:27To enhance their effectiveness
04:29They decided to work together with the 12th Special Purpose Brigade
04:33Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine
04:36Through joint mission planning
04:38Direct exchange of techniques between crews
04:40And leveraging complementary strengths
04:42Such as the frontline integration of drone companies within Azov's infantry battalions
04:47And Alpha's experience in launching massive attacks with unmanned systems
04:51Azov officers pointed out that during 2025
04:55Approximately 92% of the target aircraft in their sector
04:59Were deputanized using unmanned systems
05:02Which are organized into three levels
05:04First, drone companies integrated into infantry battalions
05:07For short-range tactical operations
05:09A battalion of unmanned systems dedicated to operational coverage behind the front
05:14And another battalion at the Army Corps level for long-range operations in Ivan's rear
05:21Alpha provides specialized teams for large-scale attacks
05:24With FPV mosquitoes and fiber-optic guided ones
05:27They are highly effective against infantry concentrations
05:30Light vehicles and electronic warfare systems
05:33The coordination model is therefore based on joint planning
05:37And direct collaboration between operators
05:39Allowing tactical reconnaissance and attack drones from both organizations
05:43To operate in the same sectors against small groups and Russian logistics
05:47Without duplicating their efforts
05:50Thanks to the two units working together
05:52They've been able to give some personal attention
05:54To 5,393 invading orcs
05:578,930 reconnaissance
05:59And attack drones
06:00896 electronic warfare systems and antennas
06:04562 vehicles and motorcycles
06:0655 artillery systems
06:07And 21 armored vehicles
06:13On the technological front
06:15The company Firepoint released a descriptive video of its long-range attack system
06:20FP5 Flamingo
06:21Which has become one of Ukraine's main force projection tools in the Russian rear
06:28Although its enormous size makes it vulnerable to the invaders' air defenses
06:31Its long-range forces Ivan to disperse his remaining missile batteries
06:35To protect his critical industrial facilities deep within his country
06:38And cover the likely approach routes
06:40Which also have to be patrolled by his A-50 early warning aircraft and Sukhoi-30 fighter bombers
06:48In this way, they use up their flight hours and cannot operate near the front lines
06:54The defenders have been adapting the combat tactics of the Flamingos
06:58Which are now launched in groups of four to six missiles
07:01Achieving between two and three hits per incursion
07:04Which is usually enough to destroy or at least disable the target
07:08Which is hardly a surprise
07:10Considering that the Ukrainian birds carry a warhead of more than a ton
07:15The production committed by Firepoint itself is 100 units per minute month
07:19With the possibility of manufacturing several thousand per year
07:23However, that promise has clashed with the low availability of suitable jet engines
07:27Delays in contracts and financing
07:29In addition to constant Russian attacks on Ukrainian production infrastructure
07:33Which has limited the pace of production
07:36Its use complements the work of the FP1 and FP2 strategic attack drone swarms
07:42Since by drawing the attention of Ivan's air defenses
07:44It lets the mosquitoes slip through to their targets more easily
07:54On the eastern bank of the Dipipro
07:56A humanitarian emergency is unfolding about which we had very little information
08:01This is about the isolation of the civilian population in the city of Valeski
08:05A town located right across from the city of Kherson
08:08Whose inhabitants have not been receiving supplies since May of this year
08:11And who have also been unable to leave the town due to their age, health problems
08:16Or because they lost their documents during the floods caused by the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka Dam in 2023
08:23So they cannot prove their identity to the occupiers
08:25Which is why they are not allowed to move to the rear areas
08:30Footage recorded by a reconnaissance drone released on October 3 shows groups of civilians moving on motorcycles, bicycles and on
08:37foot along rural roads
08:39In the vicinity of Valeski, people move in single file trying to cross the minefields that cover several areas of
08:45that community
08:47Before the war, Valeski had about 24,000 inhabitants and currently around 2,000 people remain in the urban center
08:54among them about 50 children
08:58On September 30, Ukrainian authorities reported one dead and four injured due to mine explosions on the escape routes
09:05When a group was trying to leave the town since the inhabitants preferred to risk stepping on a mine rather
09:10than die slowly of hunger and thirst
09:13Ukraine has carried out at least two air deliveries of aid, transporting 400 packages of food, medicine and supplies for
09:20children using drones
09:22Although part of the shipments were confiscated by Russian forces
09:25Russia has refused to open a humanitarian evacuation corridor despite the willingness of the International Committee of the Red Cross
09:32To supervise the movement and the willingness of Ukrainians to cooperate
09:36The situation is so extreme that even the defenders organized the evacuation of several puppies from a house
09:42To prevent them from dying of starvation or being eaten by desperate neighbors
09:50To carry out the operation, the Peru unit designed a transport cage which was hung from a vampire bomber drone
09:56that went to a rescue point
09:57Where it picked up the puppies to transport them to the safe side of the river
10:10Hello friends
10:11Can you imagine 100,000 tons of oil burning in front of the exclusive beaches of Xochitl?
10:17Well, Ukraine has just made it a reality
10:19I'll give you the details next
10:24Let's start with this sequence
10:26Where we see a Ukrainian MiG-29 intercepting a Horde Garen IV jet drone almost point blank
10:32Using its internal 30mm cannon after which it flies through the explosion
10:38This footage shows us how dangerous these missions are for the Ukrainian Air Force fighter bombers
10:43Since they have no room to avoid the debris cloud caused by the downed aircraft
10:50Even with the obvious danger to their aircraft
10:52The pilots continue to carry out these missions to eliminate as many Horde intruders as possible
10:57Whom they send off with a sincere salute to their leader
11:02For their part, the invaders' truck drivers are experiencing a busy season of mosquito attacks on the southern front
11:08Where activity has increased significantly on the roads that connect the cities of Donetsk and Mariupol with the Crimean Peninsula
11:15But you know everything is going according to the plan of the old man in the Kremlin
11:20On the technological front
11:22The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine announced on October 7th
11:26That a network of 12 turrets controlled by artificial intelligence are already intercepting Russian jet-attack drones over Kyiv
11:33Several of which were installed near the bridges that have recently begun to be attacked by IVAN
11:38And 8 additional units are planned to be deployed
11:41The system is capable of autonomously attacking Kheran-type drones
11:46It can intercept those jet-powered drones thanks to its faster reaction times and greater accuracy than human operators achieved
11:52In addition to being able to operate continuously, without fatigue and at a very low cost
11:57The system also has the ability to scale quickly since it is produced locally
12:02And uses a 12.7mm heavy machine gun as its effector
12:06Of which there is a large supply in Ukrainian arsenals
12:09The automated autonomous turrets use vision and artificial intelligence to track and attack their targets
12:16And they have successfully intercepted high-speed drones like the dangerous Geran-V
12:22Initially, the system was met with skepticism
12:25Since the commanders were not convinced that a system based on machine guns would be able to deal with such
12:30fast targets
12:31However, the results in combat showed that the technology reduced human error
12:36Offering great accuracy in its shots
12:39These systems are integrated as another layer within Ukraine's air defense network
12:44And so far, they account for only 10% of the shoot-downs of Ivan's vultures
12:48While drones, interceptors, air force aircraft and electronic warfare units contribute the majority of the victories
12:57The effective combat range is limited by the main weapon
13:00Which is a .50 caliber machine gun
13:02But it is estimated to be at least 1,400 meters
13:07The development of these systems was largely funded by the Sky Sentinel program
13:11The United 24 which has raised several million dollars to promote this type of technology
13:16According to the managers
13:18Between 10 and 30 turrets are needed to protect the city
13:22Depending on its size
13:23So there is still much to be done
13:27The computer vision technology inside air defense turrets
13:31Has also started to be installed in the weapon stations of the Ukrainian Navy's drones
13:36Although these are remotely controlled by a human operator
13:39When they engage with surface units
13:41They switch to an autonomous mode to defend themselves against attack drones
13:45Djeran, for which the invaders have started to use to attack Ukrainian vessels
13:49Thanks to its networked radio control system
13:51Which is capable of providing connection offshore
13:54In this battle, we see the first case of a Russian jet-powered drone being shot down by these systems
13:59An unmanned naval vessel Sargan 3000
14:02Which fires several shots from its main weapon
14:04Successfully shooting down Ivan, the pirate's intruder
14:08It is likely that the Sargan could carry out limited air defense missions
14:12Intercepting low-flying vultures over the sea as they approach the shores of Odessa
14:19But that's not the only way to bring down Ivan's vultures
14:22As shown in this video of the self-protection system test for ground drones
14:26Karakurt, which is a module that launches a 3x3 meter net lightweight
14:31Designed to entangle the propellers of Ivan's FTV attack drones
14:35The cost of the launcher system is $90
14:38And each replaceable cartridge costs $26
14:41Making it an extremely economical countermeasure
14:44To implement to protect the fleet of Ukrainian ground drones
14:47And logistics transport vehicles by mechanical means
14:50Which are often more effective than expensive electronic warfare units
14:54That are ineffective against Russian drones controlled by fiber optics
14:58This solution was urgent
15:00Given the increase in robotic systems operating on the front lines
15:04Which are a priority target for Ivan's drones
15:09The Black Sea front has been very active
15:11We'll start with the fire that lit up the coast of the resort city of Sochi
15:16During the night of October 6
15:18Which was caused by an incident involving the Afromax Rio oil tanker
15:22Flying the Liberian flag
15:24Which was hit by Ukrainian naval surface drones
15:27About 11 kilometers off the city's coast
15:29The ship was built in 2004
15:32Has a dead weight of about 107,000 tons
15:35A crew of 23 people
15:37And was transporting to Asia
15:39A cargo of between 95,000 and 100,000 tons of crude oil
15:44Which had been loaded at the port of Novorossi
15:46The Ukrainian authorities had included the vessel
15:49In the list of sanctioned ships in February of this year
15:52Identifying it as part of the network of tankers used by the invaders
15:56To illegally transport their crude oil for profit and for the state
16:00The Russian emergency authorities declared that no contamination
16:04Of the surrounding waters from the oil cargo had been recorded
16:07Although the beaches and promenades of Sochi
16:10And the adjacent federal territory of Sirius remained closed
16:13While the air and water quality were being assessed
16:17By Wednesday morning, the fire had already been extinguished
16:20But rescue vessels remained in the area
16:23While the oil tanker drifted along the coast, carried by sea currents
16:28President Zelensky referred to the incursion as a response in the Black Sea
16:32Against assets supporting Russia's war effort
16:34And it represents the first time the defenders have deliberately attacked a loaded oil tanker
16:47On the opposite shore of the Black Sea
16:49A Turkish-owned general cargo ship carrying Ukrainian corn sank into the sea on October 5th
16:55After a fire broke out within Romania's exclusive economic zone
16:58But outside its territorial waters
17:02Romanian authorities recovered the bodies of two crew members and rescued the other eleven
17:07The Royad Mamadov was a 139-meter-long vessel built in 2006
17:13And registered under the flag of St. Kitts and Nevis
17:16It had loaded corn at the Ukrainian port of Ismail on the Danube
17:19And was headed to Ravenna, Italy
17:23The Romanian Maritime Rescue Coordination Center, based in Constanta, received a distress call around 10.37 am
17:31So several Coast Guard vessels and a helicopter were dispatched to evacuate the survivors
17:36The vessel ended up sinking near the Romanian offshore platform Pescaris
17:42During the past week, there have been multiple attacks against commercial maritime traffic in this area of the Black Sea
17:48Turkish sources have reported more than 200 incidents involving civilian and commercial vessels since the beginning of the conflict
17:55The vast majority of them occurring during this year
17:58The Russians are now sinking ships from NATO countries within the territory of another NATO country
18:04Which apparently only leads to statements of deep concern from the affected countries
18:12The finish I wanted to show you this
18:14What happens every night in Kifti?
18:16The subway workers move quietly through the station
18:19Trying not to disturb the sleep of the people who are resting on the platform while taking shelter from the
18:25indiscriminate Russian attacks
18:27For some, it's a workplace
18:29For others, it's the safest place to spend the night
18:44Hello friends
18:45We'll start with a video of a big heist
18:48When a Ukrainian drone operator uses a rope with a hook to take for a ride Ivan's vulture that was
18:54lurking on top of a column of a destroyed building
18:56After lifting it up, he turns it upside down and sends it into a final dive from which it was
19:03impossible to recover
19:11In fact, operators love challenges
19:14So in this case, we see how they send their drones to hunt the very same air defense groups that
19:20Ivan has set up to protect his logistics lines
19:23Several of the vehicles were also equipped with electronic warfare systems, which were obviously not operating on the correct frequency
19:35But the operators of the 57th Infantry Brigade of Ukraine don't just go after pickup trucks with machine guns
19:42In this case, they destroyed a Russian TOS-3 Dragon Heavy thermobaric rocket launcher system while it was driving on
19:48a road west of Shavekino
19:51This is the first confirmed loss of this platform
19:55The footage released on October 6th shows the tracked vehicle moving along Route 14K-3 inside Russian territory
20:02About 10 kilometers from the border with the Ukrainian region of Kharkiv
20:07Before a precise hit lit it up
20:09According to Ukrainian reports, the system was hit before it could be deployed in a firing position
20:16The TOS-3 is the latest version of the Russian heavy flamethrowers and combines a T-72 or T-90
20:24tank chassis with a 15 tube launcher for 220 millimeter rockets
20:28Which is fewer than the 24 tubes of the TOS-1A or the 18 of the TOS-2
20:32This reduction is due to the incorporation of longer-range thermobaric ammunition
20:37With reported attack distances of up to 24 kilometers
20:40Which allows the vehicle to fire from more protected positions
20:45The vehicle also features Contact-5 type active protection
20:49Mesh grills against drones and an electronic warfare system called Volnores
20:55All very nice
20:57But it didn't affect the mosquito that de-putinized it at all
21:05The war crimes of the invaders continued
21:07This time, they decided to launch a guided aerial bomb that flattens everything against two passenger buses on a street
21:14in Kramatorsk on the morning of October 8th
21:16Causing the death of 33 civilians and injuring another 18, according to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and the
21:23Regional Authorities of Donetsk
21:27The attack took place around 10 a.m. in the morning on Jubilena Street near a dental clinic
21:32While the two buses were on their regular route
21:35The Regional Prosecutor's Office identified the projectile as a UMPB D-30SN guided glide bomb
21:42Which set fire to buses and nearby buildings
21:47The head of the Donetsk Regional Administration stated that buses seem to be a preferred target for Ivan
21:53Since with a single strike, he can cause maximum damage and loss of life
21:57So he accused Russian forces of deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure
22:02President Zelensky stated that the attack would not go unanswered
22:06And that Russia was trying to destroy all life in Donbas
22:09So he called on the international community to respond firmly
22:13The authorities decided to suspend all public transportation in the cities of Kramatorsk and neighboring Slavyansk
22:20Citing the serious risk to passengers
22:23The city is located about 15 kilometers behind the current front lines
22:27And is part of the area of the Donetsk region controlled by Ukraine
22:31Which Russian forces have been trying to capture for the past five years
22:36Kramatorsk has suffered repeated attacks with glide bombs in recent months
22:40Which have started to become indiscriminate against all types of civilian infrastructure
22:45Emergency teams extinguished the fires and provided assistance to the wounded
22:49While documenting the incident as a possible war crime
22:56After seeing that, I think you'll see this new summary of the weekly activities in a different light of the
23:03414th Bagheera Bird's Unmanned Systems Brigade
23:08Who we haven't had on the channel for a while
23:10This unit has its origins in a group of infantry volunteers formed in 2022
23:14Where Robert Magyar Brovdi fought as a member of the National Guard
23:18Where he financed the purchase of the first reconnaissance drone out of his own pocket
23:23Later on, after successive organizational changes
23:27The unit expanded until it became an independent brigade
23:32Specialized in operating attack drones
23:34And it remains one of the key formations of the Unmanned Systems Forces
23:40Even after Brovdi was appointed as the commander-in-chief of those forces in 2025
23:46According to the unit's public scoreboard, as of October 5, 2026
23:51The unit is credited with striking more than 234,000 enemy targets
23:56And inflicting approximately 66,000 enemy casualties
24:00Only since the start of its combat rotation on the Pokrovsk axis on July 21, 2024
24:07In recent weeks
24:09The number of attacks against Russian personnel claimed by the combined unmanned systems forces increased by 43
24:18Compared to September, partly due to the arrival of autumn
24:21Which has reduced the vegetation cover, decreasing the chances for the assault orcs to hide
24:30Most of the unit's activity takes place at short tactical distances
24:35Since an August report indicated that 95% of the attacks occurred at an average distance of 3.7 km
24:42from the line of contact
24:46The Pokrovsk sector remains one of the most active stretches of the front
24:51As Russian forces are pushing to make gradual advances around the city and the nearby Bropelia
24:58While Ukrainian units, including the 414th, are focusing on a strategy of attrition using unmanned systems
25:16On the medical front, Ivan seems to have avoided a bigger problem
25:21Triggered by the death of Darya Shvilova
25:23A 28-year-old laboratory technician
25:26Who worked at a research institute specializing in fighting the plague
25:30In the Siberian city of Irkutsk
25:33Which drew international attention this week
25:35Even though Russian health authorities have reported that precautionary measures are being lifted
25:41And that thorough testing among the population
25:44Has found no evidence of plague or other high-risk pathogens
25:47Among the people who were in contact with the supposed patient zero
25:53Shvilova was hospitalized on September 29th
25:56In the nearby town of Shelikov
25:58With severe pneumonia
25:59And died in the early hours of October 2nd
26:01Raising widespread concern about the disease that caused her death
26:06On October 7th
26:07The agency declared that the nearly 5,000 laboratory tests performed on people who had been in contact with her
26:13Did not detect any dangerous pathogenic microorganisms
26:16So 90% of the people under medical observation had already been discharged
26:21Meaning there was no epidemic risk for the population
26:25The WHO under the international health regulations requested verification and additional details
26:32Since the organization still does not have a complete picture of the situation
26:39Among the outstanding issues are the exact cause of the deadly pneumonia
26:44The pathogen that prompted the public health measures taken
26:47And media reports about a second employee of the institute
26:51Who developed pneumonia of unknown cause
26:55It worries me that the Irkutskati Plague Institute
26:58Is officially responsible for monitoring areas where plague occurs naturally
27:03Diagnosing dangerous infections and working on biosecurity and civil protection against bioterrorism
27:08However, during the Cold War
27:11The Soviet Union carried out a major offensive biological weapons program
27:15That included plague, anthrax, and other pathogens
27:18The personnel of the program rotated between different facilities
27:22And some Russians abroad have indicated that the Irkutsk Institute was part of that program
27:28I hope we are not dealing with a bacterium weaponized by the invaders
27:32Although it would be quite ironic if they ended up being the first victims of their own creation
27:38I doubt that Grandma Masha's chicken soup will help Ivan recover from this cold
27:45Russia's silence is alarming and leaves a fundamental question unanswered
27:50Are we dealing with dangerous bacteria or with a weaponized strain?
27:55At least the Chinese seem to be alarmed since the authorities in Harbin
27:59Have recommended that their population buy food and store bottled water
28:04The concern is understandable
28:05Since in 1910 the plague that came from Russia killed 60,000 people in the Chinese city
28:11So let's just say they prefer to be safe than sorry
28:24Hello friends!
28:25We begin with the reconnaissance drones of the 43rd Artillery Brigade of Ukraine
28:29Which identified a rare Russian IRV-type radar system operating in a rural area
28:35After the initial detection, the radar vehicle began maneuvering along different dirt roads
28:40changing position, obviously following standard tactics to avoid being detected
28:44and thus evade possible counter-battery fire
28:49The Ukrainian operators maintained continuous tracking
28:52transmitting the precise coordinates to a nearby artillery unit
28:55equipped with a multiple rocket launcher system
28:58HIMARS!
28:59Which fired a single GMLRS guided rocket
29:03When it reached the IRV's position, it not only ruined the paint job
29:07but also ruined the whole week for the team of Russian technicians operating it
29:12The IRV-IS is a relatively new Russian multifunctional radar that entered service in 2024
29:17and is mounted on the chassis of a high-mobility off-road truck
29:23It is primarily designed as a counter-battery asset
29:26to detect incoming artillery and rocket fire, calculate trajectories
29:30and determine the coordinates of enemy firing positions
29:34According to EVAN, it would also have a secondary air surveillance capability
29:39detecting aircraft and drones at distances of up to 150 km
29:44Their scarcity on the battlefield makes their destruction important
29:47since each destroyed system reduces the invaders' ability to quickly locate Ukrainian artillery
29:53and adjust their own return fire
29:56All very nice, too bad it didn't detect the HIMARS that was coming for it
30:02Another group of invaders who had a bad day
30:04were those who took shelter in the remains of a solid rural building
30:08where their movement was detected by a reconnaissance drone
30:11which proceeded to call in a heavy delivery service
30:14in the form of a demolition charge
30:16made up of two assorted TM-62 anti-tank mines
30:19dropped by a bomber hexacopter
30:21with the mines rolling gracefully inside the stronghold
30:25I wonder what the invaders' faces looked like
30:28when they saw the gifts sent by their friendly Ukrainian neighbors roll into their basement
30:34The excellent work of the hexacopters in all kinds of missions
30:38but especially as heavy precision bombers
30:40has led EVAN to instruct his drone operators
30:43to prioritize the destruction of these aircraft
30:45as soon as they spot them in flight
30:47The cost difference is substantial
30:50since an attack vulture from the Horde costs only a few hundred dollars
30:54while a hexacopter capable of carrying a payload of up to 32 kilos
30:58can cost several thousand
31:01The operators of a Ukrainian unmanned ground vehicle
31:05belonging to the 25th Airborne Brigade of the 7th Air Assault Corps
31:09destroyed a Russian attack drone by deliberately ramming it
31:12while returning from a combat mission
31:15The incident took place on the Pokrovsk Front
31:18when the NRK-type ground robotic system was moving along a ridge
31:22in a rural area, in open terrain
31:24when a vulture from the Horde approached from above
31:27with obvious bad intentions
31:28beginning a dive down to ground level
31:31to try to strike the vehicle
31:33The evasive maneuvers prevented the impact
31:36but they couldn't break the pursuit
31:39But when the drone got right next to it
31:41the operator made a sharp turn
31:43causing the side panel of the UGV
31:45to hit the approaching drone
31:47knocking it to the ground
31:48and disabling it
31:50Afterwards, the Ukrainian robot
31:52which had stopped
31:53continued its return to base
31:56Another ground drone that had a very productive day
31:59was this system from the NS-13 unit
32:01of the 3rd Army Corps of Ukraine
32:03which was moving through wooded terrain
32:05toward a Russian position
32:06as part of Operation Vivaldi
32:08The Russian troops at the position detected the vehicle
32:11and decided to approach it at point-blank range
32:14at which point they stopped to prepare a grenade
32:16to destroy the intruding robot
32:19Unfortunately for them
32:20the situation was being monitored by the drone operators
32:23who simply pressed the button
32:25that activated the explosive charge it was carrying
32:28which resulted in the immediate destruction of the position
32:31and of the invaders occupying it
32:34The NS-13 unit
32:36under the command of 2nd Lieutenant
32:38Nikola Sienkiewicz
32:39also known as Makar
32:41has specialized in the use of unmanned ground attack vehicles
32:44to carry out direct assaults
32:46sabotage missions
32:47and area denial operations
32:50They equip their vehicles with disposable grenade launchers
32:54which are driven into Ivan's shelters
32:56to give them a quick makeover
32:59They also transport them using bomber drones
33:02more than 10 kilometers behind Russian lines
33:05from where they continue advancing on their own
33:07against command or logistics positions of the horde
33:10previously identified by reconnaissance
33:21I've been wanting to share this story for days
33:23because on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's independence
33:27the Lazar Group of the National Guard of Ukraine
33:30flew their drones
33:31Heavy bombers in a coordinated formation
33:33as part of the country's first military parade
33:36made up exclusively of unmanned combat systems
33:40The event, held on August 24 in Kyiv
33:43showcased nearly 100 Ukrainian-made platforms
33:46for air, land and sea operations
33:49What's interesting
33:50is that all the aircraft in the Lazar Group
33:53were individually controlled by their respective pilots
33:56In the footage
33:57you can see how the formation with dozens of mosquitoes takes off
34:01and moves in a perfectly coordinated way
34:03to fly over the skies of the capital
34:06The video allows us to identify systems
34:08like the Laza-LS and the LF-400 fixed-wing reconnaissance
34:12and attack platform
34:16The Laza Group
34:17has specialized in operating heavy bomber drones
34:20which are developed and manufactured by the same unit
34:23According to reports from the Ukrainian General Staff
34:26this unit is credited with destroying more than 2,000 tanks
34:29and tens of thousands of other targets since 2022
34:32with the total value of destroyed equipment
34:35estimated between $12 and $15 billion
34:41On the strategic attack front
34:43the long-range mosquitoes carried out an inspection visit
34:47on the night of October 8th
34:48to a major data center operated by Yandex
34:51which is Russia's leading provider of online services
34:54and artificial intelligence
34:57The arrival of the mosquitoes
34:59forced a complete shutdown of operations at the facilities
35:02and caused disruptions in the availability of various digital services
35:06that are equivalent to those provided by Google in the rest of the world
35:11Yandex confirmed that the raiders caused a fire
35:14that damaged much of the infrastructure of its data center
35:17in Zasubo
35:18which is one of the five largest facilities of this kind
35:21in operation
35:22casualties were reported
35:23and emergency teams
35:25secured the site
35:27but the company indicated
35:28that the extent of the damage is still being assessed
35:31and that it is not yet possible
35:33to determine if the equipment can be recovered
35:36The Zasubo facilities
35:38are located in a complex together with the Zasta facilities
35:40which is a precision machinery factory
35:42located 550 kilometers from the Ukrainian border
35:47and it not only houses tens of thousands of servers
35:50it also hosts two of Yandex's three supercomputers
35:53called Lyapunov and Chervonenkis
35:56built with NVIDIA A100 chips
35:59and used to train the company's artificial intelligence model
36:02which is called
36:03and I'm not kidding
36:04Yandex GPT
36:07According to the company
36:08the main services for the regular Russian consumer
36:11like the search engine
36:12continue to function for the most part
36:14However, users and monitoring platforms reported widespread problems
36:19with Yandex Disk
36:20Yandex Documents
36:21Yandex Mail
36:22and other dependent services
36:24See?
36:26Just like Google
36:27Third-party services also suffered outages
36:30that depend on this infrastructure
36:32including real estate platforms
36:34media websites
36:35Russian Railways
36:37telecommunications providers
36:38and banking apps
36:41This represents the first major confirmed attack
36:45against Russia's data center infrastructure
36:47since the beginning of the invasion
36:49and it comes after weeks of Russian attacks
36:52against the invaders campaign
36:55Finally, it's not all about ultra technology
36:59In this case
37:01the defenders are using biological sensors
37:03to detect incoming artillery
37:05who quickly sound the alarm
37:07from inside the trench
37:09Of course
37:10this is the 300th use of a cat in a combat position
