The Ukrainian military were behind the attack that caused a massive fire at the “Atlas” oil depot in Russia’s Rostov region on August 28, according to Ukraine’s General Staff.
The oil depot was set ablaze by a drone strike making Russian offiicials deploy firefighting trains to containg the flames.
The strike was executed by units of the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, in collaboration with other Defense Forces personnel.
In two separate attacks, Ukrainian troops also targeted the “Zenit” oil depot in the Kirov region and an ammunition depot of to Russia’s “Zapad” Military Group in the Voronezh region. The results of these operations are still being assessed.
The General Staff said that Ukrainian troops continue to cause havoc to the “military-economic capabilities” of the Russian army to bring an end to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
