During the night, Russian troops again attacked Ukraine with Shahed unmanned aerial vehicles.
One of the drones hit an energy object in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro region, leaving 40 000 people without electricity supply.
The outage is also reported at two coalmines with 100 workers trapped underground due to the electricity disruption.
The emergency teams are working on the sites, part of the employees have already left the mines.
Later, the Ukrenergo energy company informed that they are doing everything possible to restore the electricity supply in the area. Due to the proper protection, the strike did not cause fire.
The Ukrainian air defense reported that they managed to intercept 11 out of 24 Russian drones.
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.
