On the morning of March 8, about a hundred Russian servicemen passed through the gas pipeline and entered the rear of the Ukrainian army. The breakthrough was made through the underground pipes of the Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas pipeline, through which Russia supplied gas to Europe through Ukrainian territory until January 1, 2025. The diameter of the gas pipe is 1.4 meters. This has already been done by the Russian army in Avdiivka, when two companies of Russian soldiers passed through an underground pipe 3.7 km to the rear of the Ukrainian army positions.

Technical details of the Russian operation to pass units through an underground gas pipeline into the rear of the Ukrainian army, into the Sudzha industrial zone in the Kursk region of Russia, have become known. This video was shown earlier. It is worth noting that gas industry specialists considered the operation to pass through the gas pipeline impossible. Despite this, the operation was successfully carried out.

The goal of the Russian operation "Potok" is to enter the rear of the Ukrainian army and destabilize its forces, which ultimately happened in Sudzha and in the area after it was carried out. The Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas pipeline was used. The operation is large-scale, it was prepared for about 3 weeks, 800 people passed through the gas pipe in small groups. Ukrainian intelligence noticed the operation only at the final stage. The units that participated in the operation to pass through the gas pipe in Sudzhi, the Vostok DRShB, the Veterans ODShB, Akhmat, the 16th Brigade of the 106th Airborne Division, and the 30th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the Russian Ground Forces.

Despite the fact that the gas pipe was destroyed in places, gas was pumped out of it for several months and oxygen was pumped in. In order for the soldiers to exit the gas pipe to the surface, technological holes were made in it. When passing through the gas pipe, several people lost consciousness, convulsions, burning in the lungs, and headaches were noted. 800 people passed through the pipe for 4 days. Food and water were carried through the pipe, and toilets were even installed.

At the last stage of the operation, Ukrainian artillery noticed Russian groups and began shelling them. The video was published by Ukrainian media, reporting that all the soldiers were destroyed. But this is not true, and the video of hundreds of Russian soldiers being killed has never been published.

The American publication Forbes reported that units of the Ukrainian army are leaving the Kursk region of Russia. At first, many took the information skeptically, but in the center of Sudzha, on the square, Russian units appeared, judging by how calmly they stand, no one is firing at them.

According to Forbes, an important role in this was also played by the spat between Vladimir Zelensky and Donald Trump, which resulted in a temporary restriction of military aid to Ukraine. A successful operation of the Russian army in the gas pipeline in Sudzha and an offensive of Russian troops in all directions in the Kursk region. As a result, there was destabilization at the front, which could lead to a full encirclement of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region.

The commander of the operational command "North" of the Ukrainian army, whose area of responsibility includes the Kursk direction, Major General Dmitry Krasilnikov was removed from his post.

Footage of a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile striking a Ukrainian Buk-M1 air defense system. The video was filmed near the village of Tokari, Sumy region of Ukraine. The Buk-M1 air defense system, together with a pickup truck, was moving to a camouflaged position in a forest belt.

The Buk-M1 air defense system was adopted by the USSR in 1983. As of 2024, Ukraine had about 50 Buk-M1 air defense systems, and there may have been supplies from other countries.

A Russian drone tracked the entire route of the Buk-M1 air defense system. After that, the air defense was hit by an Iskander-M missile with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead. The Iskander missile exploded nearby, presumably damaging the Buk-M1 air defense system.

The Ukrainian army has started using a new UAS SETH attack drone. The drones were given to the servicemen by the charity foundation "Turn Alive". Visually, the drone is a smaller copy of the Russian Geran drones. The UAS SETH drone is reportedly easy to operate and has automatic targeting, but judging by the video, the drone's targeting is adjusted. The UAS SETH drone has a short flight range and is designed to hit targets in the frontline zone. Technical details are unknown.
