Ukraine - Russia Conflict


I am not 100% certain about the authenticity of the claim. However, if this is remotely true, then Putin has had enough!
I think Russia wants to distract NATO from Ukrain to Themselves. if the NATO thinks an attack on one of them is imminent they will need to keep the arms and ammunition to themselves not to send it to Ukrain.
Residents of Kharkiv published footage of a September 16 attack by a Russian Geranium-2 kamikaze drone on the building of the Ukrainian Institute for Advanced Training of Pharmaceutical Specialists at the National Pharmaceutical University of Ukraine (NUPh) in Kharkiv. According to Russian media, the National Pharmaceutical University of Ukraine (NUPh) trained tactical medics and medical teams for the front. Ukrainian media denies this.

This must be the most "Value for money" weapon out there.

Peter Zeihan is pretty non-credible. But the point he is raising at the end of this video is very alarming. Ukraine's capability to attack Russian Oil infra is increasing day by day. Earlier it was thought that these attacks will just disturb their refined oil business i.e. domestic disruption & will have minimal effect of their exports of unrefined crude i.e. no international disruption. But that might change as Russia might not be able to bring their unrefined crude oil to their coast for export. That means russian oil exports to India will be crippled & its beyond Russia's control to fix that.

In this context is it prudent to burn India's political capital to engage Russia & alienate other powers??? Russia is incapable of defending its own airspace & has resorted to attacking Ukrainian civilians to increase their pain in hopes of deterring Ukrainians from such attacks on russian infra, but Ukrainians are willing to take that pain.


Russians are proving themselves to be incompetent at everything vis-a-vis Ukraine. A dead weight/drag on our international relations with not much upside. The cost/benefit balance is collapsing.

Do you understand the term 'fog of war', and there are so many professional actors who are making these grey videos. Till one have concrete evidence, these are just grey videos to build narrative and confuse people.

Russian special forces storm two Ukrainian army strongholds. High-quality footage of Russian special forces storming two rear strongholds of the Ukrainian army. The location of the filming is not disclosed. During the assault, the soldiers actively use the LPO-97 light infantry flamethrower and the RPG-26 grenade launcher; their specifications are shown on the screen. The assault is partially shown, but return fire from one of the Ukrainian strongholds is clearly visible. Four Ukrainian soldiers were captured at the second stronghold, as shown at the end of the video.

 
Footage of Russian FPV interceptor drones in action in Ukraine and Donbas. The video shows all types of Ukrainian reconnaissance and conventional drones intercepted by Russian drones before September 2025. Russian FPV drones VT-40, Prince Vandal Novgorodsky, and other models are used for ground and air combat; technical information about them is available on the channel. The exact location of the filming is not disclosed. The video features drones manufactured in Ukraine and other countries.

 
On September 20, the Russian army launched a series of strikes against targets in Dnipropetrovsk, as video footage was released by city residents. Ukrainian industrial and military facilities were targeted, including the Yuzhny Machine-Building Plant, the Polimermash plant, a warehouse area behind the Karavan shopping center, and other city facilities. Geranium drones and Kh-101 cruise missiles were used in the strikes.

 
Footage of a Russian Orion drone attacking a temporary deployment site and ammunition depot of the Ukrainian army. The video was filmed in the border village of Yastrebyne in Ukraine's Sumy Oblast. The Orion drone uses X-UAV missiles, also known as TKB-1030.


Technical information about the Orion drone

 
Footage of a Russian FAB-3000 bomb striking a Ukrainian bridge over the Solenaya River. The video was filmed near the village of Novopavlivka in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine. It's worth noting that the bridge is quite small, and a FAB-1500 bomb could have been used as well. The FAB-3000 bomb with the UMPK module was dropped by a Su-34 aircraft.

 
A Ukrainian firefighter witnessed a Russian Geran-3 kamikaze drone strike an oil depot in Ukraine's Chernihiv region. The video was presumably filmed near the town of Bakhmach.

 
A combat episode of the Russian 220mm Uragan MLRS in the Donbas, in the Krasnoarmeysk sector. In the video, the Uragan MLRS fires 9M27F unguided rockets with 9N128F high-explosive warheads at a Ukrainian army position. The 9M27F projectile weighs 280 kg, the warhead weighs 100 kg, and the explosive mass is 51 kg. The exact location of the shooting is not disclosed.

 
On the night of September 24, Russian forces launched a massive strike using Geranium drones on Kharkiv. Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov reported that more than 15 explosions rocked the city in 30 minutes. The strikes targeted Ukrainian military and critical infrastructure in Kharkiv.

 
Footage of a Ukrainian naval drone, presumably a Magura V5, being shot down by a Russian Lancet-52 kamikaze drone. The exact location of the footage is not disclosed, but it is known to be in Crimean waters. The video shows the Lancet-52 drone's automatic targeting system. As a result of the attack by the Russian Lancet-52, the Ukrainian Magura naval drone was destroyed.

 
Footage of Ukrainian naval drone attacks on the Russian seaports of Novorossiysk and Tuapse on September 24. A UAV attack also occurred that day. The type of Ukrainian drones used is unknown. Small arms, anti-tank guided missiles, and FPV drones were used to destroy the naval drones. Judging by the video, the seaports' defenses were insufficient for the drones to get so close. All Ukrainian naval drones were reportedly destroyed in Novorossiysk. In Tuapse, a Ukrainian naval drone attacked an oil loading pier.

 
Footage of a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile with a cluster munition warhead striking a Ukrainian MIM-104 Patriot air defense system. The Patriot air defense system is manufactured in the United States. The video was filmed near the village of Svetlogorskoye in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine. The Iskander-M missile strike presumably destroyed a Ukrainian AN/MPQ-65 radar, part of the Patriot air defense system. The video shows a Ukrainian evacuation team arriving at the radar.

 

Ukraine received a US-made Patriot air defense system from Israel a month ago, with two more expected in the coming months, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday.

Kyiv is scrambling to beef up its air defenses to repel daily Russian barrages of drones and missiles, especially ahead of winter, with heating infrastructure a frequent target of the attacks.
 
Footage of a combined strike by Russian Gerani-2 drones and an Iskander-M ballistic missile on a workshop of a Ukrainian army repair and maintenance battalion. The video was filmed near the town of Zaporizhzhia. According to media reports, the workshops of the Ukrainian brewery were used as a base for repairing military equipment
