New satellite imagery shows the aftermath of the Ukrainian drone strike on Russia’s Rostov-Central military airfield on the night of September 17. At least two Mi-8 helicopters, one An-12 and one An-26 appear to have been completely destroyed.

Russian footage captured the moment an air defense position fired a missile at a Ukrainian FP-2 deep-strike drone, exposing its location. Moments later, the drone struck that Russian air defense position.

Footage shows the operation of a previously unknown "STASH" air defense system used by a unit of Ukraine's Air Command West. The system appears to be mounted on an unidentified chassis and uses AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, likely paired with a RADA radar.

🔥🚢 Unmanned Systems Forces drones struck the Russian Project 11356R frigate (Admiral Makarov or Admiral Essen) frigate in the port of Novorossiysk overnight on April 6 with the FP-1/FP-2 guided strike drones! In a separate strike, the offshore drilling platform “Syvash” was hit by Ukrainian forces.

there's now detailed information on ru loss of Ka-52M on 27 Oct 2025 It happened 2km from village Durnevo, Kaluga oblast (the one near 54.656, 35.655) Two helicopters were chasing UAVs, one fired a missile, but it hit the other helicopter instead. So, friendly fire. Good riddance.

So russia has just murdered 7 people and injured 15 more in a missile strike on port infrastructure in the Odesa region. They’ve also been repeatedly targeting a key bridge, attempting to cut the region in half. War crimes every single day - nobody gives a shit.

Not 100% sure, but I've deduced that the submarine that was hit recently in Novorossyisk by SubSeaBaby was B-271 Kolpino. (based on a splotch of paint) Unless my info on the two outside Black sea is wrong, because they almost fit too.

I got back to ID-ing Tu-95's destroyed in Spiderweb (01 Jun). I'm finally very confident in the identification of the 4 on Olenya airbase. Some of these were previously identified incorrectly. RF-94128, 10rd Саратов RF-94117, 27rd Изборск RF-94132, 14rd Воронеж RF-94259, 17rd

I needed to look into tu-95's, so I had a closer look to ID the two that flew close to Japan a week ago. Turns out, Japan's JSO press release PDF had better images than their twitter. b/n 41, RF-94186 and b/n 60, RF-94202 Note an extra b/n in a blue circle on the tail. That wasn't there before.

One of the ru propagandist channel has posted a video, allegedly from this dead crew from summer 2024. Even though numbers were blurred, i could ID it as Ka-52M, b/n 44 Yellow, r/n RF-77634, c/n 35385001007 There's no guarantee it was the one destroyed in Oct 2025, though.

Honestly, if you have some doubts about Ukraine and russia, if you (for some reason) believe that it’s not clear as day, entirely black and white, good vs. evil type of conflict, here’s the thing. Why are all the goddamn pedo freaks pro-russian? Errol Musk is in moscow right now.

Since this is UA footage and Su-35 is in a direction of nose to the camera, either it was flipping wheb falling or it was caught while engaging and wasn't trying to evade the AA missile. Would love if more details of the engagement come up.

If the rumors that a heli (mi-26?) was involved in transporting some ammo with solid fuel rocket motors (iskander-m, tornado-s, s-300 interceptors, etc), I'll be glad to include it on the list, but maybe the ammo was transported by planes and just unloaded in that area.
