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

Ukrainian media published a video allegedly showing North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region of Russia. It is unknown who is actually shown in the video, perhaps this is trolling Russian soldiers. It is reported that DPRK soldiers in Russia are taught mine-explosive work and the basics of the Russian language.

 
Four Ukrainian kamikaze drones attacked the Russian city of Kaspiysk in Dagestan today, the video was published by local eyewitnesses. Some of the ships of the Russian Caspian Flotilla are stationed in Kaspiysk. Presumably, Ukrainian kamikaze drones of the A-22 "Flying Fox" aircraft type were used, the drones are based on the Aeroprakt A-22 aircraft. Some of the drones were shot down with small arms. Judging by the video, one of the drones presumably exploded near the decommissioned Russian missile boat "Stupinets" of Project 12411T, another drone exploded near a small missile ship of Project 21631. Presumably, Russian electronic warfare was operating in the port area, distorting the GPS signal, which is why the drones missed. At the moment, it is unknown whether the ships were damaged or not.

 
An episode of the assault on a stronghold of the Ukrainian army in the border part of the Kursk region of Russia. A group of Russian soldiers in a BMP-2 advanced to the stronghold and landed troops. The assault on the stronghold was carried out from the flanks, the BMP-2s provided fire support and suppressed the work of the stronghold's firing points. Artillery also worked. The dead soldiers are hidden in the video.

 
An episode of work and evacuation of a T-64 tank, a Danish mine-clearing vehicle HYDREMA 910 MCV, by the Ukrainian army. The minesweeper was developed by the Croatian company DOK-ING and the Danish Hydrema and has been produced since 1996. The HYDREMA 910 MCV mine-clearing vehicle was used by the United States to clear air bases in Afghanistan, it was well received and 41 units were purchased. The Russian Emergencies Ministry also purchased one vehicle and used it in Chechnya in 2001. It is also used by India, Singapore and other countries. The vehicle can be controlled manually using a joystick or automatically on autopilot. The 18-ton vehicle is designed to defuse anti-tank and anti-personnel mines containing up to 10 kg of explosives. The vehicle's mine-clearing system is equipped with a block with 72 chains and an armored deflector screen to protect against explosions and shrapnel.

 
Video of the use of the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" in Ukraine, controlled via fiber optic cable. In the video, the FPV drone "Vandal" pursues and attacks a Ukrainian BMP-2 of Soviet manufacture, they are also used by the Russian army. Note that the driver-mechanic noticed the drone and is trying to take the combat vehicle away. The BMP-2 has a net as protection from drones on top, but the drone attacks the BMP in the stern. As a result of the drone attack, the BMP was destroyed, the fate of the crew is unknown. The video was filmed in the Pokrovsky direction.

 
The Russian army has begun using captured Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA IFVs of American manufacture in combat. Some of the M2A2 Bradley IFVs have been restored and equipped with additional protection against drones in the form of so-called "barbecues". Currently, only one Russian M2A2 Bradley IFV is known, and there is no data yet on how many there really are. The Russian army uses the M2A2 Bradley IFVs primarily for transport purposes, since there are enough spare parts for them, from captured Ukrainian Bradley IFVs, and ammunition is limited. It is worth noting that the M2A2 IFV demonstrated good survivability during combat in Ukraine, but only when using the BRAT add-on protection. BRAT protection makes the combat vehicle heavier, but provides good protection. In the video, you can see the M2A2 Bradley IFV being hit by two Russian, presumably ATGMs, of an unknown type, despite the damage, the combat vehicle was removed from under fire. It is unknown how much the crew suffered. Below are details on the use of the M2A2 Bradley IFV in the Russian army and impressions of the combat vehicle.

 
An episode of combat use of the Russian 152-mm self-propelled gun 2S43 "Malva" in the Kursk region of Russia. The self-propelled gun "Malva" is mounted on the chassis BAZ-6910-027 "Voshchina". Judging by the video, the artillery gun used is still 2A64, it is planned to replace it with a longer-range one.
