On October 10th, drones targeted the Russian military airfield “Khanskaya” in Adygea. Local residents swiftly took to social media, reporting the buzzing sounds of drones and loud explosions, while regional authorities, unsurprisingly, stayed silent at first, offering no immediate details.
The airfield serves as the base for the 272nd Training Aviation Regiment, part of the Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School. The regiment, awarded the Orders of Suvorov and Kutuzov, plays a vital role in Russia’s pilot training operations.
NASA’s fire monitoring system detected a blaze breaking out near the airfield following the drone attack.
Although officials initially downplayed the situation, the Adygea governor eventually confirmed the drone strike, arguing there were no casualties or injuries. Firefighters rushed to contain the flames, and the nearby village of Rodnikovy saw its residents evacuated as a precaution.
It was later revealed that the fire had engulfed a fuel and lubricant storage facility near the airfield. Some reports suggest that these could be fuel reserves for aircraft or even a stockpile of aviation bombs, making the situation even more explosive.
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.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
