An assault operation by the Third Corps took place in the forests of Kharkiv. An Azerbaijani volunteer was captured; he said he was "lost." The Russians discovered his capture via radio and began returning fire towards the Ukrainian soldiers of the Third Corps.

3 out of 4 layers of Moscow’s air defense completely bypassed.According to OSINT analysts, Ukrainian long-range drones successfully penetrated the most heavily defended airspace in Russia. Despite Moscow pulling air defense systems from all over the country, Ukrainian tactics left them powerless.Confirmed strike zones (red diamonds on the map):🔻 Zelenograd — 3rd and 4th lines of air defense bypassed. Hits confirmed at the “Elma” technopark and “Angstrem” microelectronics plant.🔻 Kapotnya & Solnechnogorsk — 2nd and 3rd lines bypassed. Hits confirmed at the Gazpromneft refinery and Transneft oil pumping station.No matter how dense the defense is, Ukrainian engineering and swarm tactics always find a way. ⚡️

Everyone on Instagram is using Chemical Brothers' track "Go" from Netflix's APEX movie, but the 🇺🇦 82nd Bukovynska Air Assault Brigade @82_brigade_82 is out there hosting the real hunt.
No script, no stunt doubles, just a frantic cardio session in the mud for life and death 💀 🏃♂️

🇺🇸🇮🇷 MQ-9 REAPER LOSSES ARE RAISING SERIOUS QUESTIONS!!
Recent operations linked to the conflict around Iran have once again shown how vulnerable large UAVs can become in contested airspace protected by increasingly advanced air defense systems.
🎯According to recent reports and OSINT analysis:
🔹multiple MQ-9 Reapers were reportedly shot down over the Middle East and the Red Sea
🔹many losses were linked to increasingly capable air defense systems operated by Iranian-backed forces
🔹the operational USAF MQ-9 fleet may have dropped to around 135 aircraft, well below previously expected operational requirements.
The MQ-9 Reaper remains one of the world’s most capable ISR/strike drones:
🔹20+ hour endurance
🔹precision strike capability
🔹advanced ISR missions.
💰Estimated unit cost, approximately $16–30 million per aircraft.
However, the platform was primarily designed for permissive environments and counterinsurgency warfare, not heavily defended airspace.
🚨Many of these losses are likely the result of the combination of persistent MQ-9 operations, predictable flight profiles and increasingly capable layered air defense systems in the region, because even partially degraded air defense networks can still be very dangerous for large non-stealth UAVs.

By @ukraine_defence 🇺🇦 President Volodymyr Zelenskyy:»Our responses to Russia’s prolonged war and strikes on our cities and communities are completely justified. This time, Ukrainian long-range sanctions have reached the Moscow region. The distance from the state border of Ukraine is over 500 km. The concentration of Russian air defense in the Moscow region is the highest. But we are overcoming it. Glory to Ukraine!» 🇺🇦 Президент Володимир Зеленський:«Цілком справедливі наші відповіді на російське затягування війни та удари по наших містах і громадах. Цього разу українські далекобійні санкції досягли Московського регіону. Дистанція від державного кордону України – більше 500 км. Концентрація російської ППО в Московському регіоні – найбільша. Але долаємо. Слава Україні!»
here some footage of the Russian AA🇷🇺 engaging the incoming Ukrainian🇺🇦 drones still above their territory since the start of last night's attack(in this case with a Pantsir system).
In this case the interception💥 was successful. But nowadays, the number of drones used by Ukraine in each attack is so large📈 that enough always survive to damage ⚡yet another Russian strategic target.
