Map of Russia's special operations in Ukraine, the advance of Russian troops, militar

Unique footage of simultaneous combat operations of the Ukrainian Patriot air defense system of American manufacture and the Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system of Russia has been published. The Patriot air defense system division was deployed in the area of the settlement of Pashena Balka in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine. It is worth noting that the Patriot air defense system was deployed with violations; the system should have been covered by other air defense systems to operate against small targets. Due to the lack of cover, the Russian Orlan-M UAV conducted unimpeded reconnaissance and guided missiles to the target. The Patriot air defense system crew detected the Iskander missiles and launched two interceptor missiles. The Patriot missiles went to the target, but due to the fact that the angle of approach of the Iskander-M missiles to the target exceeded 80 degrees, the guidance radar lost the target, and the guidance of the interceptor missiles ceased. As a result of the battle, Iskander missiles, using the air burst method, hit the AN/MRO-65 radar, the AN/MS0-104 combat control station and one Patriot SAM launcher. The extent of the damage is unclear, since the filming was done from a great distance.

 
Russian servicemen shared their experience of using homemade robotic platforms in battles. Robotic platforms were used in battles in Ukraine and in Ugledar, robot models are not reported, transport models are shown.

 
An episode of the battle of the Russian assault group from Samara, in the Pokrovsky direction. The assault group, consisting of a BTR-82A and a buggy, was tasked with landing troops. The video shows the assault group breaking through to a populated area and landing troops. During the retreat of the BTR-82A, it was attacked by five Ukrainian FPV drones. It is unknown how, but the Russian BTR-82A withstood all five attacks. The BTR-82A is equipped with a homemade protection system called "Mangal", but due to the low quality of the video, the elements of the protection cannot be seen. The video is shortened, only the key moments of the battle are shown.

 
Footage of the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky", controlled via fiber optic cable. In the video, the FPV drone "Vandal" attacks the rear of a Ukrainian T-72AMT tank. The T-72AMT tank is an updated version of the Soviet T-72 tank, produced in 2017 at the Kiev Armored Plant. Many upgrades have been made to the tank. In terms of protection, the tank is close to the Russian T-72B3 tanks. Please note that when the drone attacks, a Ukrainian pickup truck with electronic warfare systems can be seen on the road, but since the drone is controlled via fiber optic cable, the electronic warfare does not affect it. As a result of the drone strike, the T-72AMT tank was destroyed, it is unknown whether the crew managed to leave the tank. The video was filmed in the border area of the Kursk region of Russia.

 
An episode of a battle in the Kursk region of Russia, which is currently unexplained. In the video, an unknown armored personnel carrier, similar to the BTR-82A, drove out to meet two tanks. After which, the tank fired point-blank at the armored personnel carrier, as a result of which the APC's turret was torn off. In the video, you can see that the APC crew left the combat vehicle, one of the soldiers calmly walked past the tank, the rest went in the other direction, but the second tank tried to hit them. The video does not show any insignia on the equipment, and it is also impossible to determine who the soldiers are. Perhaps one of the sides fired at their own equipment.

 
Continuation of the battle with an unknown APC and two tanks in the Kursk region of Russia. The situation has become clearer, in short, the APC was indeed Russian, and the tanks were Ukrainian. A shot from the second Ukrainian tank finally destroyed the APC. The APC crew left the combat vehicle, as was shown earlier. The Ukrainian tank was subsequently destroyed, how is not reported, most likely by drones, the fate of the tank crew is also unknown. The second tank left the scene of the battle, there is no further information about it.

 
A video has started to spread online in Ukrainian media, allegedly showing the first North Korean soldiers appearing in Russia at one of the bases. Earlier, the Head of the Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, reported that North Korean soldiers are being trained in the Saratov region of Russia, who will then provide support to Russian units. According to the statement of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, the first 11 thousand DPRK soldiers will be ready to enter the battle on November 1. It is impossible to understand from the video where it was filmed and who is depicted there, perhaps the video even uses superimposed sound. At the end of the video, several phrases are recorded with increased sound, but it is not yet known what language is being spoken there.

 
Footage of the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" in use in the Kursk region of Russia. Despite the fact that the Vandal drone is controlled via fiber optic cable, judging by the video, it is also used carefully in the forest. The video shows the drone attacking a Ukrainian armored vehicle "Kozak-7" and an American-made M113 armored personnel carrier, possibly an FV432. The moment of the drone's defeat is not shown, since the surveillance drone was not used in the forest.

 
Rare footage of a swarm of Russian kamikaze drones "Geran-2" has been published, the video was published by a resident of the Poltava region of Ukraine. Earlier, something similar was recorded in the Odessa region of Ukraine. Mass production of drones "Geran-2" has now been established in Russia. It also became known that the Russian army began to equip drones with Luneberg lenses, they are installed on the drones "Gerbera" and other models. Luneberg lenses are made in the form of a plastic ball and wrapped in foil, their use allows to increase the EPR of the drone. A drone with a Luneberg lens becomes the most contrasting target and air defense missiles are primarily aimed at them. This method allows to distract air defense forces from the "Geran-2" drones and deplete the ammunition of the missiles of the air defense systems of Ukraine.

 
Russian kamikaze drones "Geran-2" now pose a serious threat to military and industrial facilities in Ukraine. Many means are used to combat them, but even this is not enough. Ukrainian media published footage of the interception of a Russian drone "Geran-2" by a Mi-24 helicopter of the Ukrainian Air Force.

 
The Ukrainian army has deployed American-made M1A1 SA Abrams tanks in the Kursk region of Russia for the first time. The video shows an M1A1 Abrams and an M2A2 Bradley IFV from the 47th separate mechanized brigade "Magura" in the village of Novoivanovka in the Sudzhansky district of the Kursk region. It is not clear from the video who is being fought. Meanwhile, the squad commander of the 21st separate mechanized brigade of Ukraine, Alexander Tymoshchuk, reported on the situation in the Kursk region. According to him, 350 Ukrainian soldiers entered the Kursk region, 40 people left the Kursk region alive, and now there are 15 soldiers left alive. Interview in Telegram in Ukrainian.

 
Footage of the attack of a Russian Ka-29 helicopter of the Black Sea Fleet on the Ukrainian naval drone MAGURA has been published. The video was filmed near Crimea, as reported, there were only 4 naval drones. The MAGURA drone is modified and armed with an R-73 aircraft missile, technical information about the drone is on the channel. Despite the fact that the drone has an R-73 missile, it cannot use it, since the missile has a dead zone of about 300 meters. If the helicopter moves away at a distance of more than 300 meters, it can be hit by a missile. The helicopter fires from all types of weapons installed on board. A 7.62 machine gun, a GShG-7.62 automatic cannon and a 23-mm GSh-23L aircraft cannon are used. The authors did not show the full video, perhaps the second part will be released later.

 
Footage of real combat work of Russian interceptor drones armed with the Taiga net launcher. The military chronicle was filmed near the village of Kleshcheyevka in the Donetsk region, now this is the largest archive of interceptor drones that has been published online. The interceptor drones are used by the anti-aircraft missile battery, the 1442nd motorized rifle regiment, the 6th motorized rifle division, and the 3rd army corps. It is reported that thanks to the use of drones with the Taiga device, it was possible to gain a tactical advantage in this area and the activity of Ukrainian drones decreased to almost zero.

It is worth noting that the Taiga device was already copied in September and is also being produced in Ukraine, it intercepted 5 drones of the Russian army. There are also American analogues, they were shown earlier. In the drone war, and this can already be called that, with the help of the Taiga net thrower, 470 Ukrainian drones worth 130 million rubles were intercepted, mainly drones manufactured by DJI, and 9 agrodrones of the Baba Yaga type were also intercepted. Currently, drones armed with nets are the most effective means of combating drones, since effective electronic warfare systems that cover all frequencies have not yet been created. Judging by the information from the network, the Taiga net thrower is manufactured by the Russian company INMATTEN, surprisingly, against the background of current prices for military products, it is quite cheap, its price is 25,000 rubles or $ 258. The weight of the Taiga device is 270/350 g, depending on the type of net.

The drone with the Taiga net turned out to be successful, thanks to the interaction of Russian developers with military personnel. Which does not happen often. The Taiga net launcher is simple, essentially it is a pyrotechnic cartridge and a net that is attached to a drone, so far only to DJI drones. The drone hovers over another drone and the pyrotechnic cartridge shoots a net with weights, the net has a diameter of 3.6 meters, thus intercepting the drone. Intercepted drones are then picked up and repaired, it is worth noting that DJI drones are quite expensive. In the video, an overview of the Taiga device and its combat use in Ukraine.

 
The CEO of the German military company Rheinmetall, Armin Papperger, announced the start of work in Ukraine, the first plant for the production of German IFV Lynx. It is worth noting that many experts doubt this, since in the current situation, opening a plant is quite risky. Perhaps the plants are located in neighboring countries. According to Papperger, the second military plant will also start working soon. The production of the first ten Lynx IFVs is planned to begin at the end of this year. Rheinmetall also plans to open a plant for the production of gunpowder, ammunition and air defense systems. Earlier, it was reported that a joint Ukrainian-German enterprise Rheinmetall was opening to repair IFV Marder 1A3 and Leopard 1A5 tanks.

 
Russian kamikaze drones "Geran-2" began to be used in Ukraine with direct control of operators. To communicate with the operator, a built-in 4G modem and a Ukrainian SIM card are used, and SIM cards from other countries can also be used. A drone in such equipment is capable of operating over the entire territory of Ukraine and any neighboring country where mobile communications work. The video shows the first footage of the attack of the Russian drone "Geran-2" on an electrical substation with transformers in the area of the city of Belopolye in the Sumy region of Ukraine.

 
Footage of a brief external inspection of a Ukrainian M1A1 SA Abrams tank of American manufacture, which was destroyed in the Pokrovsk direction. The tank was used by the 47th separate mechanized brigade "Magura" of the Ukrainian army. The M1A1 Abrams tank is equipped with protective grids, Soviet dynamic protection "Kontakt-1" and American BRAT protection. The tank was hit by an FPV drone, possibly an ATGM, after which the tank was abandoned by the crew. Reportedly, the tank was eventually evacuated by Russian units, but there is no footage of this. At the end, an insert is added showing the operation of the sighting system of the American M1A2 Abrams tank.

 
Rare footage of a Russian Ka-52 helicopter intercepting a Ukrainian PD-2 drone has been published. The video was filmed in Russia's Kaluga Region. The PD-2 kamikaze drone was developed by the Ukrainian company UkrSpecSystems in 2019. The Ka-52M helicopter launched an Igla-B air-to-air missile from the Strelets onboard complex. The Igla-B missile is capable of hitting targets at a range of up to 7,500 meters, depending on the missile's launch altitude.

 
An episode of the battle in Ukraine, the fifth brigade of the 51st army of Russia, with the participation of a Ukrainian T-64 tank, in the area of the village of Kurakhovo. In the video, Russian units approach Kurakhovo, the approaches are blocked by a Ukrainian defense line consisting of concrete tetrahedrons and steel wire. To overcome the anti-tank line, Russian units concentrate tank and artillery fire, destroying the defense line in one place. Noticing this, Ukrainian units make an unconventional decision and send a T-64 tank to close the passage in the defense line.
After that, Ukrainian soldiers abandon the tank and go into the forest belt, where they die under the blows of Russian drones, the episode was removed from the video.
Seeing that the passage in the defense line is blocked by a tank, Russian units send two of their soldiers to the tank, who free the passage. After which they steal the T-64 tank in the direction of Russian units. Further, it is officially reported that the T-64 tank is returning to the defense line. But the video already shows another tank. Russian units bring up another tank, after which the tank crew directs the tank towards the Ukrainian army position. After this, the Russian tank crew leaves the combat vehicle. The video shows how one of the Russian servicemen injured his leg on the barbed wire. Presumably, the other tank was used to create a passage in the minefield or to divert Ukrainian artillery fire.

 
The video shows attacks by a homemade Russian ground drone-kamikaze "Mole" in Ukraine. The kamikaze drone "Mole" is used by the 14th separate guards order of Kutuzov special forces brigade of the armed forces of Russia. It is worth noting that the Ukrainian army also uses ground drones. The robotic platform "Mole" is used as a ground drone kamikaze, it is usually sent to dugouts and strongholds of the Ukrainian army. Technical information on the platform "Mole" has not yet been found. It is known that the wheeled drones have electric traction, and as a warhead they use anti-tank mines TM-62M, up to six pieces. The ground drone is guided to the target using a drone, its communication channel is protected.
