00:02I knew I was meant for something, yet I've called a purpose
00:05Everything I've got in life, I had to go and earn it
00:07I dreamed of kids, a loving wife, that I could be of service
00:10There's something bigger than my life, I felt the fire burning
00:12I gotta push through the pain, it tries to hold me back
00:15The blood and sweat leaves my stains tattooed on the mat
00:18I'm not tired, I'll keep going, got no time for breaks
00:20I'll keep moving, cause I know that's what it fucking takes
00:24I keep moving anyway, I keep running through the way
00:27Every stumble, every struggle
00:30Here comes a new road in my name
00:36There's a way to find me, I'm still fighting right away
00:40It's hard, but I'm still here, and I keep moving anyway
00:45I'm not...
00:56Hello friends
00:57A mosquito drone from the Artan Unmanned Systems Unit
01:02Is resting by the side of the road
01:04When an invader passes by on the street
01:06He seems completely unaware of the presence of his main predator
01:10On the Ukrainian steps
01:12But when it takes flight, Ivan breaks every federation speed record in the 100 meter dash
01:17Even so, it wasn't enough to outrun his pursuer
01:24But sometimes, kinetic action isn't even necessary
01:27As in this case, where two invaders decide to neutralize each other
01:31Meanwhile, the Ukrainian B-2 class long-range strike drone keeps looking for a better target
01:36Passing over an air defense unit with lousy aim
01:39To finally deputinize a military truck
01:41In short, a solid raid on this highway
01:45Throughout the entire sequence
01:47You can see the mosquito drone's shadow on the asphalt of the highway
01:57A Ukrainian mosquito drone is lying in ambush in the dead of night
02:00When three invaders stop to pick up a colleague
02:03Once they are on their way, the mosquito drone takes off
02:06And proceeds to deliver a lethal dose of hospitality
02:09I find it very convenient that the orcs gather in tight groups
02:13It helps save the valuable warrior mosquito drones of the steps
02:23Please friends, don't even think of showing him this video of a Ukrainian drone
02:28Visiting an invader's fuel reserve, which it first assesses before switching into ignition mode
02:35Surely, if Trump sees this, he's going to blame Ukraine for breaking his truce
02:42In this footage, we can see how a few weeks ago, Ivan's anti-aircraft defenses on the outskirts of Moscow
02:48Shot down a Ukrainian FB-1 strategic attack drone
02:52I know you'd rather see them visit a refinery
02:54But I only included this because it seemed like a clear example of how proximity fuses work on anti-aircraft
03:00missiles for both sides
03:01At least the drone paid an unexpected visit to some Russian's house
03:07On the Kharkiv front, Ukraine's 475th Separate Assault Regiment
03:12Known by the unusual name, Code 9.2 released footage
03:16Captured by their reconnaissance drones of a recent combined arms operation carried out by the unit
03:22In it, a tank and a Bradley Infantry fighting vehicle
03:26Fitted with extensive, dense hedgehog-style cage armor for drone protection
03:31Crossed toward the front line and engaged Russian forward positions with direct fire
03:36The armored vehicles moved fearlessly across open ground under continuous air support
03:42Reconnaissance drones watched the route and kept the targets under constant surveillance
03:47While strike drones and heavy vampire-type bomber drones provided multiple layers of cover and surveillance
03:54During the armored advance, an interceptor drone from the unit destroyed a Russian strike drone
04:00Heading toward the tank
04:01After executing the planned strikes against the invaders' positions
04:05Both vehicles returned to their base without incident
04:09Regiment command reported that all objectives set by the commander were accomplished
04:13Oleksandr Nastenko, callsign Flint, who holds the title of Hero of Ukraine
04:18And was a businessman before the war
04:20He has applied his background in organizational management and innovation
04:24To develop many of his unit's new tactics and technologies
04:27The operation is consistent with the type of raids recently attributed to the unit in the northeastern Kharkiv region
04:34And it illustrates the evolution of the regiment's doctrine toward a close integration of manned and unmanned systems
04:42Code 9.2 initially emerged as a specialized drone company within the 92nd Assault Brigade
04:48Before expanding into a full assault regiment
04:51Combining a small but very well-equipped infantry and armored force
04:56With a disproportionately large organic drone component for its size
04:59Which includes organic reconnaissance, strike, and interception platforms
05:03The unit had already documented similar incursions by tanks with hedgehog-type armor
05:09And escorted by various types of drones since late September near Vilkubatka
05:14These tactics allow armored vehicles to operate in high drone threat environments
05:18Through a combination of passive protection, active interception of enemy drones, and real-time reconnaissance
05:25By pairing passive protective structures with interceptor drones and continuous real-time reconnaissance
05:31Units like Code 9.2 have restored limited direct-fire capabilities for tanks and infantry fighting vehicles
05:38Allowing them to approach enemy positions, execute offensive operations, and fall back with reduced risk
05:45Footage from October 11 highlights both the utility of armored vehicles when properly supported
05:51And ongoing Ukrainian operations featuring close coordination between manned and unmanned systems
06:09For its part, the Alpha Special Operations Center of the Security Service of Ukraine, or SBU
06:15Has once again taken the top spot among all units of Ukraine's defense forces
06:19For the seventh consecutive month based on the verified volume of enemy targets hit
06:24This sustained leadership underscores Alpha's role as a fearsome force in the campaign of attrition against the invaders
06:31Using intensive operations with unmanned systems and precision special operations tactics
06:37In September 2021 alone, Alpha operators neutralized more than 7,600 enemy infantry
06:446,938 unmanned aerial vehicles and ground robotic systems of various types
06:502,971 vehicles
06:55178 ammunition and equipment depots
06:5739 armored vehicles
06:5933 artillery systems
07:0026 air defense systems
07:0216 multiple rocket launch systems
07:0413 radar and electronic warfare systems
07:079 vessels
07:08And 5 command posts
07:10These figures show a trend of excellent results
07:13Consistently maintained for several months
07:17Previous reports indicated that Alpha had neutralized nearly 6,000 troops from the Horde in August and over 8,000
07:23in May along with thousands of drones, vehicles and other infrastructure targets
07:28This consistent performance reflects Alpha's specialization in drone-centric warfare, allowing it to carry out highly effective strikes both along
07:36the contact line and behind Ivan's lines
07:38The cumulative effects over the months are systematically degrading Russian military potential, especially in the areas of air defense, communications,
07:49logistics and infantry
07:51The Ukrainian command has highlighted Alpha's contribution and even President Zelensky has stated that this unit is responsible for at
07:57least 20% of the strikes against Russian forces on the front lines
08:01Alpha's prominence
08:03Is nothing new
08:04As the unit played a fundamental role in the operation
08:07Spiderweb
08:08On June 1, 2025
08:10Where its operators controlled the attacked Mosquitoes
08:13That struck the strategic aviation bombers of the invading Horde at several airfields
08:18Founded on June 23, 1994
08:21As an elite counter-terrorism unit within the SBU
08:25Alpha Group has expanded considerably during the full-scale war
08:29And it currently carries out a wide range of high-risk missions that combine intelligence, direct action and advanced capabilities
08:36with unmanned systems
08:38Make it through selection for SBU Alpha and become one of us
08:42Call 4444
08:44The strategic front?
08:46Hours after President Trump, or as they call him in Russia, Agent Krasnov declared an energy ceasefire between Russia and
08:55Ukraine with immediate effect
08:58Russian forces struck Kharkiv combined heat and power plant No.5, which is a critical facility supplying heat and electricity
09:05to Ukraine's second-largest city
09:09President Zelensky confirmed the attack, stating that it is part of the invaders' campaign against civilian energy infrastructure, which has
09:16so far caused the deaths of more than 150 people and injured more than 700 in the past week alone
09:23The governor of Kharkiv also reported a Russian missile strike on a supermarket on the outskirts of the city
09:30It killed three civilians, including two children, and injured nine other people
09:35Krasnov's announcement
09:36I mean Trump's, was posted on his Truth Social profile and says, effective immediately
09:43There is an energy ceasefire in the war between Russia and Ukraine
09:46Both sides have agreed
09:48Do not violate it
09:50The statement came after Zelensky's appearance on the American network ABC's show this week
09:56Where the Ukrainian leader stated that Kiev was willing to stop attacks on Russian oil refineries
10:02If Moscow reciprocated by ceasing attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities
10:07However, Ukrainian officials indicated that they learned of the alleged ceasefire agreement through Trump's social media post
10:14And that they had not participated in any kind of negotiation to establish the terms
10:19Later, Zelensky told Axios that if Trump had negotiated the agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin
10:26Ukraine was willing to accept it
10:28And was awaiting the operational details from the United States
10:32For its part, Mordor has not publicly confirmed its participation in the ceasefire
10:37State media reported on Trump's statement
10:40Without adding commentary from the Kremlin
10:54Hello, friends
10:55We begin with the updates on the orange crowd's deal with Putin regarding diesel fuel supplies
11:01Mosquito operators have arrived in the United States
11:04Expressing their opinion on President Trump's dubious masculinity
11:07On a sign ready to be handed to the first Russian they come across
11:13Next up, the Ukrainian bomber drone ran out of battery during a mission
11:17So its operators decided to land it and wait for another unit to retrieve it
11:22However, the drone's noise drew the attention of some orcs
11:26Who casually approached what they thought
11:28Was easy prey that had literally fallen from the sky
11:32Unfortunately for them, they were being watched by the Ukrainians
11:36Who simply hit the self-destruct button as soon as the Russians got close enough
11:43Want to hear something funny?
11:45It's possible that the diesel fuel Russia plans to export to the United States
11:49At Trump's request, actually comes from Iran
11:52Since Russian oil refineries largely lack the capacity to produce diesel due to Ukrainian strikes
11:57Because of that, Russia has been importing a large share of the diesel it needs from Iran
12:03In fact, back in September, thousands of Iranian tanker trucks carrying Iranian diesel were spotted
12:08In various regions across Russia, including Rehazan
12:11So, isn't it possible that Russia is buying Iranian diesel to resell it to the United States?
12:17If that's the case, would Trump's attempt to lower US energy prices and deceive American voters
12:24End up lining the pockets of both Moscow and Iran's Islamic regime?
12:29Wouldn't it be wonderful if not just the Russians, but even the Iranians themselves made a sucker out of Donny?
12:36This is concerning because among the volunteers who have enlisted in Ukraine's international units
12:41The presence of Mexican cartel operatives has been identified
12:44The Jalisco new generation
12:46Who in this video say some characteristic phrases of that criminal organization
12:50While praising their allies from the Los Chapitos cartel
12:54For some time now, reports have been circulating that these criminal organizations
12:58Are sending men to Ukraine to gain combat experience
13:01And that the survivors then return to fight their rivals in their home country
13:06Foreign volunteers must serve at least six months on the front lines
13:09A period during which these dangerous individuals can learn a wide variety of skills
13:15This is something that Ukrainian and Mexican authorities should take note of
13:20On the northern front, soldiers of the 15th Black Forest Separate Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade
13:27Located and destroyed the transport and loading vehicle of a Russian S-300 anti-aircraft missile battery
13:33Which was fully loaded with guided missiles that can also be used to attack ground targets
13:39The brigade's aerial reconnaissance Mosquitoes identified the logistical vehicle
13:44Which was hidden in a small forest and confirmed that it belonged to an enemy S-300 battery
13:49So they called in a precision strike with long-range rockets from a high-Mars battery
13:54Which hit the target while it was resupplying a launcher vehicle
13:57In the released video, the unit is seen engulfed in flames
14:01And how the vehicle continued burning until it was completely destroyed
14:05The attack took place near the town of Krivivalki in the Belgorod Oblast
14:09More than 90 kilometers from the Ukrainian border
14:12The operation showed new results
14:14Once again, demonstrating the brigade's ability to locate and strike high-value targets
14:19Like this Zaire defense unit deep inside Russian territory
14:22The destroyed vehicle is a critical logistical component of the S-300 system
14:27Unlike the launch platform
14:29The transporter-loader vehicle carries spare missiles
14:32And is used to reload the launchers in the field
14:36Eliminating one of these units, even more so when it was fully loaded
14:40Will hinder the battery's ability to sustain operations
14:45On the strategic strike front
14:47A coordinated series of Ukrainian drone raids
14:50Has disabled or severely damaged
14:52Three of Yandex's largest data centers in central Russia
14:56Over a span of just four days
14:58Forcing the tech company to completely suspend operations at two facilities
15:02And partially take the third offline
15:05The strikes began the night of October 7 to 8 at the Sasobo facility in the Reyazan region
15:11And continued with an impact on the Kaluga data center on October 9 and another
15:15During the early morning of October 11 in the central Vladimir region
15:19The culmination of these attacks has triggered widespread disruptions in consumer apps, cloud services
15:27And artificial intelligence tools used by millions of users across the Russian Federation
15:33Yandex, which is the dominant tech company in Russia
15:36And is often described as the Russian equivalent of Google
15:39Confirmed the situation through successive statements
15:44The Sasobo data center, one of the company's largest and home to two of its three supercomputers
15:49For training its artificial intelligence model
15:51Suffered severe damage from the fire caused by the initial attack
15:54Leading to a total shutdown of its operations
15:58At the Kaluga facility, several modules were completely disabled
16:03And on October 11, Yandex reported
16:05That the infrastructure of its data center in Vladimir
16:08A facility of approximately 50 megawatts
16:11Designed to house up to 2,880 server racks
16:14And home to the company's third supercomputer
16:16Was damaged in an attack
16:18Leading to a complete shutdown of operations at that center
16:22The ripple effects have been substantial
16:25Over 80 services in Yandex cloud availability zones
16:29Experienced disruptions
16:31Including compute resources
16:32Storage
16:33Databases
16:34And their Yandex GPT artificial intelligence tools
16:39Consumer-facing platforms like Yandex Go
16:42Which is basically their Uber
16:44Yandex Pay for Payments
16:45Yandex Music
16:46Yandex Food
16:47The Ali's Voice Assistant
16:49And Smart Home Systems
16:50Experienced outages or severe disruptions
16:54The disruptions went beyond Russia's borders
16:57Affecting users in Kazakhstan
16:58Belarus
16:59Armenia
17:00Serbia
17:01And other countries
17:03Likewise, some Russian government systems had to switch to their backup platforms
17:09Yandex has pointed out that it is difficult to predict the recovery timeframe
17:13So, it has advised its clients to implement alternative disaster recovery plans
17:18While its teams assess the damage and work to restore minimal functionality
17:24Ukrainian authorities have described these attacks as responses to the Russian offensive against Ukraine's data centers and internet infrastructure
17:31Following the initial attack in Zasovu, President Zelensky stated that Ukraine will always respond symmetrically to Ivan's strikes, reminding that
17:41Russian forces have recently been targeting Ukrainian digital facilities
17:46So, you can keep track of these attacks
17:48So, you can keep track of these attacks
17:48Here's the new Russian data center bingo card
17:51I hope Ukraine can call bingo very soon
17:57Interestingly, after the attacks on Ivan's data centers
18:00Pro-Russian boat activity in the United States and Europe dropped by 49%
18:05Just in time for the midterm elections in the United States and Germany
18:19Hello Friends!
18:21On September 28, the operators of the Pribulsi or Aliens anti-aircraft unit of the 115th Mechanized Brigade intercepted an
18:29Ivanmi 28 Nighthunter helicopter flying 9 km from the border inside the Belgorod Oblast
18:36The target was a Mi-28 NM, which is the most advanced variant of this Russian attack helicopter family
18:42As it incorporates improved avionics, sensors and weaponry, including the Aizdele 305 long-range guided missile
18:50Capable of engaging targets at ranges of up to 25 km and electronic warfare equipment designed to counter drones, which
18:57clearly failed to throw off the mosquito that brought it down
19:01The drone used was a VB-140 Blitzkafka interceptor developed by the Ukrainian company Vinitsya Bees
19:09It's a system capable of reaching speeds of up to 300 km per hour, hour and altitudes of up to
19:153.6 km
19:16The release of the shoot-down footage was delayed for operational security reasons
19:22This is the second confirmed strike by a Mosquito against a Mi-28 series helicopter in the Belgorod region this
19:29year
19:29Back on July 15, operators from the 427th Rerog Unmanned Systems Brigade hit another Nighthunter, which was reportedly brought down,
19:38as confirmed by Robert Madhyar Brovidi himself, commander of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces
19:50Defense Minister Mikhailo Fedorov announced on October 12 that the technical team of the Lazar Group has developed an interceptor
19:57drone that achieved its first confirmed combat successes by shooting down two Russian jet-powered Grand V attack drones heading
20:04for Kyiv
20:04The project went from the conceptual phase to carrying out its first missions in about a month, which is extraordinary,
20:12but it's based on the unit's extensive combat experience and applied engineering
20:16The Lazar Group teams carried out the tests, neutralizing both Grand V drones in a matter of days
20:23The new interceptor speed allows it to catch up to its jet-powered targets before they can reach urban areas
20:29This is crucial, because the Russian Grand V, which is a hybrid between a long-range attack drone and a
20:35low-cost cruise missile, typically flies faster and at a higher altitude than previous models, with operational speeds between 500
20:42and 600 km per aparat auricum
20:45These characteristics have affected the performance of Ukrainian air defenses, which have recorded significantly lower interception rates, driving the race
20:53for new vectors, capable of catching up to and shooting down the new generation of Shahed drones
20:58The new interceptor is currently piloted by human operators, however, Fedorov noted that the project's goal is for them to
21:05be completely autonomous, thanks to an onboard artificial intelligence system capable of detecting and attacking Russian drones without external intervention
21:14Once that milestone is reached, the next step will be to expand their combat use to protect other Ukrainian cities
21:20This is already the fourth development team that has managed to shoot down Garen-5s, hopefully, they can be deployed
21:28on a large scale before winter
21:30This is potentially very serious, during the early morning of October 14th, many users reported that SpaceX had unilaterally applied
21:38new operational limits to its Starshield terminals, used by the military in Ukraine, causing satellite connectivity to cut out whenever
21:46platforms exceed 160 km per hour-hour
21:50Ukrainian officials and frontline units reported that the change was implemented without prior notice to the Ukrainian defense forces
21:57And it forced the suspension of multiple critical unmanned aerial vehicle missions, including drones, interceptors and medium-range strike platforms,
22:06in addition to undermining logistics, reconnaissance and frontline communications relay capabilities
22:13Now, Sarshield is the military version of Starlink and has served as the communications backbone for Ukrainian forces since the
22:21start of the invasion
22:22On a large scale, enabling real-time control of drones, which have become one of Kyiv's most effective tools
22:28To conduct interdiction missions, deep strikes against the invaders' logistics and defense against Russian strategic strike drones
22:37The sudden imposition of movement-based speed limits reduces the operational range of these systems, precisely as Russia continues its
22:44high-intensity strikes against civilian energy infrastructure
22:47At this point, I want to clarify that the Starshield service used by Ukraine is not under the control of
22:55Elon Musk's company, but of the U.S. military
22:58Because of this, the degradation of the service could have been ordered by Trump to prevent the Ukrainians from continuing
23:03to attack Russian refineries
23:05CDI Flash, Beskresnov, Presidential Advisor on Defense Technologies, confirmed that the restriction specifically applies to the Starshield military package
23:14And seems to have been implemented as a measure stemming from the political situation between Ukraine and the United States
23:21Reports from the Front, coming from the 7th Air Assault Corps and other units, describe temporary interruptions of between 10
23:28and 20 seconds in the system's control signal
23:30Operating at speeds over 110 km per hour, hour, and in some cases, down to speeds between 60 and 70
23:38km per hour
23:39However, standard civilian use Starlink terminals did not see their access speeds affected
23:46The disruption occurred the same night that Russia launched a large-scale combined attack on Ukraine's energy and critical infrastructure
23:53Mainly affecting the Kyiv and Kharkiv regions
23:57Ukrainian officials reported the launch of 39 ballistic missiles and more than 120 drones and loitering munitions
24:04Attacks that damaged dozens of energy and oil and gas facilities, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without electricity
24:12President Zelensky stated that the first wave of ballistic missiles struck without the usual advanced launch warning from Western partners
24:20Which would mark the second consecutive night this has happened, although alerts were indeed issued for the subsequent waves
24:27The attacks targeted infrastructure covered by the alleged energy truce, announced days earlier by Trump
24:34Who denied that the United States had halted intelligence sharing with Ukraine
24:38President Musk posted days earlier that Zelensky has gone too far, referring to the strikes against Russian refineries
24:47Ukrainian officials have suggested that the restrictions may have been imposed at the request of the Trump administration
24:54Although there is no evidence to support this
24:56The one who did speak out was Poland's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Redoslaw Sikorsky
25:01Who publicly asked Musk on X if he was once again using his products to play politics
25:07Reminding him that Ukraine's European allies are paying for Starlink services for Ukraine
25:12So he can't just up and cut the service whenever he pleases
25:17On the same lines, Bulgarian authorities are investigating an arson attack that destroyed 11 of the 17 antennas
25:24Used for SpaceX's Starlink satellite communication system at a facility 20 kilometers from the capital
25:30The incident, which occurred on the night of October 9, was carried out by two masked individuals
25:36Who set fire to the antennas inside a protected facility
25:40The damaged equipment provided a key ground link to the Starlink satellites that was used by Ukraine's defense forces
25:48The incident seemed to go unnoticed for days
25:51Even though the head of Bulgaria's State Agency for National Security
25:54Had confirmed just a few days earlier the implementation of active measures to counter-sabotage linked to Russia
26:03The incident in Bulgaria follows a similar fire on September 23rd at another Starlink ground station in Wola Krabowska
26:10South of Warsaw, Poland
26:13Polish authorities have classified that incident as sabotage stating they have no doubt that Russian intelligence services were behind it
26:22Subsequently, two Turkish nationals were arrested in Germany in connection with the case
26:27And are facing charges for acting on behalf of a foreign intelligence service
26:31Clearly, the Russians aren't willing to wait for Elon Musk to cut service to Ukraine
26:36And they're taking active steps to do it themselves
26:48Hello friends, NATO F-16 fighter jets in the air, drones violating allied airspace, and a commercial ship on fire
26:55in Romanian territorial waters
26:57In a few minutes, we will analyze the consequences of this provocation in the Black Sea
27:01And the multi-million dollar blow to the IT heart of Sberbank on the Volga
27:05But let's start by revving up our engines on the front line
27:09It's been a while since we've seen in such high quality the transformation of a camouflaged invader's BTR into a
27:15pile of smoking rubble
27:16The crew thought they had hidden it really well under some tin sheets
27:20However, the mosquitoes are experienced now
27:23And they weren't fooled
27:24So they immediately realized that beneath all that scrap metal was one of their favorite preys
27:29Which didn't disappoint when it went into party mode
27:33Too bad it wasn't carrying ammunition at the time
27:37It's been a while since we've seen a 2023-style turret toss
27:44An invader is taking a nice nap by a campfire
27:47Completely unaware that a mosquito is approaching to welcome him to Ukraine and say goodbye to him
27:53But today is his lucky day because the mosquito's payload didn't go off
27:58In the end, the Russian and the mosquito were left staring at each other
28:02Both equally confused by what had just happened
28:05Anyway, sometimes things go wrong in the funniest way possible
28:10Unfortunately, not everyone has Ivan's good luck
28:13Like this ground drone returning from its mission even after suffering serious damage to its wheels
28:18In any case, nothing that a few spare parts and a little maintenance can't fix
28:23On the Zaporizhia Front, the 412th Nemesis Unmanned Systems Brigade
28:28has reported that its operators have achieved a significant milestone by striking over 8,000 invader vehicles
28:34Of this total figure, more than half have been destroyed or damaged just since the beginning of the summer of
28:402026
28:40Which indicates an exponential increase in the unit's operations
28:44Especially against the logistics networks of the Zaporizhia Southern Army Group
28:49According to the brigade, their priority is to destroy or disable vehicles transporting ammunition, fuel, personnel and other supplies
28:57Destined for frontline units, those that receive the attention of the Nemesis operators
29:02Through a combination of attack mosquitoes for close engagements near the contact line and medium range strike systems
29:08Such as the Hornet and Morrigan types
29:11Those tasked with harassing Ivan along their rear routes
29:14Where they regularly carry out incursions at distances ranging from 50 to 200 kilometers
29:20The goal is to create a logistical blockade
29:22Cutting off the flow of supplies to the units on the Southern Offensive Front
29:27In July 2026, Nemesis reported striking 500 vehicles
29:32Along with approximately 400 motorcycles and buggy type light military vehicles
29:38In May, the brigade reported that it had tested secret attack drones against the so-called Novorossiayur 280 highway
29:45Which is a key logistical corridor running across southern Ukraine
29:48Connecting the areas of Mariupol, Melitopol and Crimea
29:52The unit's campaign was so successful that the occupiers had to restrict heavy vehicle traffic along that route
29:58And diverted to secondary roads where they continued to be hunted by the unit's medium-range attack drones
30:05Previously, during an operation named G-Day in the Juliapol area
30:08The brigade's Asgard detachment reported that it managed to destroy over 130 vehicles
30:13In a campaign focused on halting logistics in a limited sector of the front
30:19Nemesis emerged in 2023 as a battalion composed of civilians with tech backgrounds
30:25The unit expanded rapidly within the unmanned systems forces, first reaching regiment status
30:30And, in November 2025, that of a brigade
30:35Reports attribute a significant portion of confirmed strikes on Russian air defense assets in occupied territory to this unit
30:42As well as the destruction of equipment with a total value of approximately $3 billion
30:48The unit features specialized teams like the Asgard Group and a technology center called Dark Node
30:54Additionally, it's known for prioritizing data analysis-driven operations
30:59Rapid iteration with its drone manufacturers
31:02And the combat integration of aerial systems, navigators
31:05The plan
31:10On the strategic strike front
31:12In the early hours of Wednesday, October 14, residents of the Russian city of Balakovo
31:17Heard a series of explosions in the industrial district on the banks of the Volga
31:23The Mosquito's target was Burbank's gigantic data center
31:27A project started in 2021 that was destined to become one of Mordor's most important computing centers
31:35A bank representative confirmed that same day that the facilities had been attacked
31:39But stated that the bank's systems and services continued to operate without interruption
31:44And that no staff members were injured
31:48However, at the same time, Russian outage monitoring systems recorded a spike in complaints from users of the bank's app
31:55Its AI service, GigaChat, and other online platforms
31:59In other words, as always, if a Russian's lips are moving, he's lying
32:04Immunages of the attack showed evident physical damage to the structure
32:08Along with records from NASA's firm satellites that detected fires in the industrial area
32:14The Balakovo Center is worth over $1.45 billion
32:18And was slated to house up to 120,000 servers with a power capacity of 82 megawatts
32:27In addition, the center was supposed to host components of the Gostec State digital platform
32:32And, by 2027, one of the country's most powerful supercomputers intended for training artificial intelligence models
32:39Domestically developed, capable of replacing foreign artificial intelligence models
32:44Good thing the armed forces of Ukraine's customer service is still working
32:48Hello? Yes, what's your complaint Ivan?
32:54On the naval front, Romanian maritime and defense authorities are investigating a fire that broke out on the afternoon of
33:01October 14th aboard the oil and chemical tanker vessel
33:04Yara Yara Yota flying the flag of the Comoros Islands while it was anchored in Romanian territorial waters
33:11About 8 nautical miles southeast of the Sulina breakwater near the mouth of the Danube Delta and the border with
33:17Ukraine
33:18The crew, consisting of 17 sailors, contacted the Sulina Port Authority and the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center
33:26By radio at approximately 8.25 pm local time to report a fire following a possible impact or explosion on
33:34the upper part of the vessel
33:36The tanker was sailing without cargo and had been anchored for several days, waiting for favorable weather conditions to continue
33:43its journey to the Ukrainian port of Ismail
33:46The crew confirmed that all occupants are safe and that they managed to put out the fire using equipment on
33:51board, so they do not require additional assistance
33:56Subsequently, the vessel weighed anchor and headed under its own power toward the Romanian port of Constanta on the Black
34:02Sea to undergo a technical inspection
34:05Romania's defense minister stated that military radars did not detect any drone heading toward the vessel and that checks are
34:11being carried out to determine the exact cause of what occurred
34:15He described the incident as an extremely serious event because it took place in Romanian territorial waters, unlike other attacks
34:22against vessels in the Black Sea that occurred in the Exclusive Economic Zone
34:27That same day, Romanian radars detected aerial targets that briefly entered the national airspace east of Sulina, prompting the scramble
34:35of F-16 fighters from the 86th Borsia Air Base, which shot down at least one of these targets over
34:40Ukrainian territory
34:43The incident appears to have been intentional and constitutes an unprecedented attack against the commercial vessel in the territorial waters
34:50of a NATO member state
34:51If it is confirmed that the vessel was deliberately struck by a Russian attack drone in the territorial waters of
34:56a NATO country, it would be a serious escalation
34:59A provocation that ought to bring consequences, beyond the now-classic formal protest, which seems to be the only weapon
35:05Brussels has
35:15Hello friends!
35:16We begin with something quite curious
35:18Two Ukrainian interceptors recorded two strategic attack drones flying without their warheads
35:26Apparently, these horde vultures had been damaged in earlier interceptions
35:30And somehow, the onboard navigation system managed to keep them airborne
35:34But as you can see, that situation was finally resolved by two Ukrainian interceptors
35:41These are a pair of excellent clips of ambushes set by drones equipped with fiber-optic cables
35:46Positioned as observation posts to monitor movement along various roads behind the invaders' lines
35:52Once they've completed their mission and their battery is about to run out
35:56Or when they find a juicy enough target, they quickly take off to go greet the visitors who have wandered
36:01into their strike zone
36:04Of course, the vehicle crews don't appreciate all that attention
36:07But come on, Ivan always seems a bit annoyed by these encounters
36:12Maybe it's because of the hard fall he takes during the evacuation
36:15Maybe it's a tactic to get out of the Mosquito's flight path
36:18A few days ago, I told you about the new Sky Sentinel
36:22Remotely controlled air defense turrets
36:25Equipped with Browning M2 heavy machine guns
36:28That Ukraine is installing around its cities to destroy the invaders' war drones
36:33In this footage, unfortunately, we see how one of them
36:36Located on the outskirts of the city of Kharkiv
36:39Is damaged by a Russian attack quadcopter
36:41This city is located just a few kilometers from the front lines
36:45So its outer defenses are within range of Ivan's unmanned systems
36:50But to wash away that bad taste?
36:52Here are a couple of good news items
36:55In the context of President Zelensky's visit to London
36:57The UK government reported that it will send Ukraine a new batch of Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles
37:04And they will expedite the delivery of over 200 lightweight multi-role missiles or LMMs
37:10As part of an additional £45 million package to boost Ukrainian defenses before winter
37:15The announcement was made by Prime Minister Andy Burnham
37:20After their meeting at his residence on Downing Street
37:24The British government indicated that it considers Ukraine's use of long-range weapons
37:29Against Russian facilities involved in attacks on civilians and critical infrastructure to be a defensive measure
37:35So I have the impression that these systems will be used against stationary launch bases for Jiran missiles
37:42Additionally, it was confirmed that the delivery of LMM lightweight multipurpose missiles
37:47Which have proven very effective against jet-powered drones will be accelerated
37:51The United Kingdom committed to delivering a package of 6,000 missiles of this type over a 4-year period
37:57But this is an additional batch beyond the units already committed
38:01That are currently being produced at the Thales factory in Belfast
38:05Storm Shadow missiles are precision cruise missiles
38:08Launched from the air by Ukrainian Sukhoi-24 bombers
38:12Designed to penetrate layered air defense networks at low altitudes
38:16To strike fortified or high-value targets
38:20These missiles have proven their effectiveness on multiple occasions
38:24When neutralizing high-value targets within the Russian logistics chain, command centers and other critical infrastructure
38:35On September 30th, President Zelensky visited the command post of the 3rd Army Corps
38:40To meet with the commanders and fighters carrying out Operation Vivaldi in the Lyman sector
38:45In the northern Donetsk region
38:48This offensive thwarted Russian plans to break through into the rear of the Slovyansk and Kramatorsk urban agglomeration
38:56Stabilizing the front line in this critical sector
39:00President Zelensky analyzed the unit's specific needs with the commanders
39:04Particularly regarding artillery and financial compensation
39:08And he highlighted the growing role of ground robotic systems
39:12Which during Operation Vivaldi allowed Ukrainian forces to execute high-risk tasks
39:17Minimizing direct personnel exposure
39:21The President gave instructions to further expand this capability
39:25So that drones and robotic platforms increasingly take on the most dangerous front-line missions
39:32The operation showed that limited asymmetric advances supported by unmanned systems, electronic warfare and precise coordination
39:39Can reverse previous Russian territorial gains
39:42And inflict a high cost on the invaders
39:44Even in the face of numerically superior forces
39:48During his visit, Zelensky also presented awards to distinguished fighters from the 3rd Assault Brigade
39:54The 60th and 125th Mechanized Brigades, the 21st Kraken Unmanned Systems Regiment and other attached formations
40:02The President thanked the defenders for their service and the results achieved
40:07Which have reinforced Ukraine's defensive position in the Donbas
40:12Vivaldi's four seasons have concluded, but the music continues, declared the 3rd Army Corps
40:17The achievements of this operation demonstrate Ukraine's ability to conduct successful offensive operations
40:23While simultaneously maintaining a solid defense at other points
40:27All of this contributes to the overall goal of preventing further Russian advances
40:31And protecting Ukrainian territory and population centers
40:35In another notable action of the 3rd season of Operation Vivaldi
40:39The fighters of the 3rd Detachment of the Pomster Brigade
40:43Or Revenge of the Bordegar
40:45Operating jointly with the 3rd Army Corps
40:47Shifted from their primary sniper mission of providing cover to allied units
40:51To carrying out an infantry assault against the Russian command post
40:55From which Russian commanders were coordinating the battle in that sector
40:59The commander of the detachment's forward post explained that his unit entered Pipka
41:04With the mission of acting as snipers tasked with intercepting the movements of Russian assault groups
41:10Toward nearby Ukrainian infantry positions
41:13But the mission changed when they located a building
41:16From which enemy commanders were coordinating the horde's actions in the area
41:20Which was under continuous artillery fire and fiber optic guided drone attacks
41:25Making any movement extremely dangerous
41:28However, maintaining a purely observational posture would have left the command node intact
41:33So they decided to assault the position
41:36To do this, the small team approached the building undetected and proceeded to clear it
41:40Thereby avoiding the need to call in an assault infantry squad that would have had to risk taking casualties
41:46While crossing the gray zone under enemy observation and fire
41:51The neutralization of this coordination point directly diminished the invaders ability to direct and coordinate the actions of their local
41:58infantry units
41:59Their artillery and drone teams against the advancing Ukrainian infantry
42:03Thus contributing toward the overall objectives of the third phase of Operation Vivaldi
42:10But the fourth season has arrived and on October 14th
42:14The 3rd Army Corps announced the end of the fourth and final phase of Operation Vivaldi in the northern Donetskou
42:20region
42:21Under the command of Brigadier General Andrey Vilecki
42:25Ukrainian forces liberated the settlements of Selina, Dolina, Lipove and Kolodyazy
42:30Reclaiming an additional 101 square kilometers of territory
42:34And inflicting, in this stage alone, approximately 3,000 casualties among the horde's invaders
42:41Throughout the four phases of the operation, which began under strict operational silence and was only publicly confirmed in mid
42:48-September 2026
42:50Ukrainian forces managed to restore full control over 16 settlements, liberating a total of 277 square kilometers
42:58The 3rd Corps estimates that cumulative Russian casualties across all stages amount to 8,000 invaders
43:05The operation began with the systematic elimination of Russian infiltration groups in the rear and the gray zone of the
43:13front
43:13And turned into a swift, coordinated counter-offensive that pushed back elements of Mordor's 20th and 25th combined arms armies
43:21General Vilecki stated
43:23We prevented the enemy from flanking and encircling the urban agglomeration made up of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk
43:30While securing the highway between Kharkiv and Slovyansk, the enemy failed to cut off this logistical artery
43:36Which is key to supplying our forces operating in the Donbass
43:41Furthermore, we disrupted the offensive of the Zapad Army Group
43:45And forced them to deploy part of the 1st Guards Tank Army to our sector, which relieved pressure on the
43:50Kupiansk Front
43:53The defenders channeled the Russian troops into pre-prepared kill zones where the fighters of the Troika, as the 3rd
43:59Army Corps is known among the soldiers
44:01Eliminated more than 250 occupiers in an area of just 100 by 100 meters
44:08Faced with the exhaustion of its infantry reserves in the sector, Moscow resorted to sending tank crews into combat
44:14Electronic warfare specialists, technical support personnel, wounded soldiers, and quite a few foreign mercenaries
44:21The defenders attribute the operation's success to strict operational security control during the initial phases
44:27Which were critical to the use of combined arms, tank, and asymmetric combat approaches
44:32To the extensive use of unmanned systems, including air-deployed ground robots sent behind Ivan's lines
44:38To flanking maneuvers across difficult terrain and systematic strikes against Russian logistics
44:45Operation Vivaldi has reversed approximately 18 months of Russian advances toward the main Ukrainian-held stronghold in the Donetsk region
