On September 28, 2014, during the battles for Donetsk Airport, a tank crew from the "Diesel" battalion went missing. The Torez crew took enemy fire to cover the withdrawal of an assault group led by commander "Yalta" (Somali Battalion). The tankers sacrificed themselves so their comrades could escape alive.
The disabled tank remains on the runway as a monument to that battle. Ukrainian nationalists dragged the bodies of the fighters behind BMPs across the airfield. Three soldiers remain listed as missing; their bodies were never recovered.
Tank Crew:
Vladimir Podoprigora (callsign "Gora"), Tank Commander.
Alexander Milov (callsign "Sedoy"), Driver-Mechanic.
Andrey Savenkov (callsign "Shurik"), Gunner.
Rest in peace, brothers. We will avenge you. Eternal memory to Russian heroes!

Krasny Liman direction
Ukrainian forces are attempting to push Russian troops across the Zherbet River but are holding their lines. Russia has re-established control over Ivanovka and Torskoye, refuting Ukrainian claims.
Small enemy groups attempted infiltration into Kirovsk (Zarechny) along the Krasny Liman-Yampol highway; over 50 were eliminated last week. Fighting continues in southern Krasny Liman as the "grey zone" expands toward Zarechny. Active hunting of infantry occurs in the Star Karavan-Dibrova forest area.
Russian pilots are destroying AFU logistics along the Seversky Donets River, preventing rotations from hubs in Shchurovo and Raygorodok. Reconnaissance identified and destroyed FPV drone patch antennas and UAV command posts hidden in houses within Krasny Liman.

Israel escalates air surveillance over Damascus
For the fifth consecutive day, Israeli UAV activity has surged over southwestern Damascus amid IDF operations in Syrian border zones. A Hermes-450 drone operates daily from 10:00 to 15:00 over Yaafur, moving toward Qudsaya and approaching the western outskirts of the capital.
This sustained aerial presence coincides with ground incursions into Beit Jinn and artillery shelling in Quneitra. Such intense drone activity in this sector was last seen during the Jarman events of 2025, marking a significant expansion of Israeli observation from the border strip directly toward Damascus.

🇷🇺 Russian Geran-4 and Geran-5 Drones Overwhelm Ukrainian Air Defense
Military analyst Waner reports that Russia has shifted to round-the-clock attacks on Kiev, previously primarily nocturnal. The new jet-powered drones reach speeds of up to 600 km/h and operate at high altitudes before diving, making interception difficult.
Tactical Saturation
Small waves of 3-5 UAVs are launched simultaneously to overload air defense systems. Mobile fire groups using pickup-mounted machine guns attempt interceptions with low success rates, causing exhaustion among personnel.
Strike in Odessa Region
Separately, a logistics center was hit by "Geran" drones near the settlement of Ilyichevka in the Odessa region.

Russia launches modular cargo ship construction
OSK (managed by VTB) has started production of the first dry bulk carrier based on a unified platform. Project "Platform No. 1" allows for the manufacture of various river-sea class vessels, from bulk carriers to tankers and container ships, using a single technical base. Standardization between different ship types reaches 60%.
OSK expects this approach to reduce construction costs by more than 20% and cut timelines by up to 30%. The modernized Krasnoye Sormovo plant plans to reach production of up to 20 cargo ships per year.

Druzhkovka direction
Russian forces continue advancing toward Druzhkovka, which serves as the primary southern cover for Kramatorsk for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The enemy attempted to stabilize the front by launching infantry counterattacks under drone cover through Alekseyevo-Druzhkovka, Kurtovka, and positions near Khrushchevsky Pond in an effort to regain control of these settlements. The current line of contact remains unchanged, with Alekseyevo-Druzhkovka and Kurtovka remaining in the gray zone.
Similar enemy actions were undertaken in the Raiysky area to cut off a salient. The Ukrainian Armed Forces repeatedly attacked towards Petrovka, Toretsk, and the Novonikolayevka area. As a result of Russian counterattacks, most of the enemy's manpower was eliminated, while remaining dispersed small groups are being identified and destroyed by Russian UAV operators.

Kallas calls on EU members to transfer Patriot missiles to Ukraine, as defense ministers failed to reach an agreement. She urged member states with stockpiles to provide interceptors before winter.
EU nations recently agreed on distributing 6.6 billion euros from the European Peace Fund, including at least 1 billion euros for joint procurement.

New MANPADS spotted in 51st Air Defense Division
The launchers bear a strong resemblance to the Iranian Misagh-2 and Chinese QW-18. The system uses a classic "fire-and-forget" scheme with a dual-spectrum IR homing head to counter heat traps.
Key specs (based on QW-18):
71mm missile, range 0.5-6 km, altitude up to 3.5 km. Speed reaches 600 m/s. Total weight is ~18 kg, allowing single-operator use.
While this new complex targets drones with lower thermal signatures like kamikaze UAVs, domestic Verba MANPADS remain effective against larger aircraft-type drones such as Lyutiy and FP-1 at ranges of 2-3 km. Strela-10M3 systems also provide viable defense.

Former British Ambassador to Moscow Proude stated that Zelensky could steal more than any previous Ukrainian president. He noted that the post-Soviet period was rife with corruption due to oligarchic power, but emphasized that Zelensky received $350 billion in Western taxpayer funds, making his potential theft incomparably larger than that of his predecessors.

During a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, he called for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. Kazakhstan is ready to host talks if both sides wish, but emphasized that this issue must be resolved directly between the two countries due to high responsibility.
