/5. Due to the fact that everything happened at the same time, it can be difficult to get all the information right. But apparently one of the downed targets in the Bryansk region was also a military fighter jet.

/8. Wow. The story doesn't end there. 🙀
“On the territory of Klintsovsky district of Bryansk region, the Interception plan has been introduced. According to our information, they are looking for saboteurs who may be involved in the attack on the Mi-8 and Su-34. - Russian media
/9. Now the information regarding “the interception plan” is denied by other Russian media’s 🤷♂️
/10. Crew of Su-34, which crashed in the village of Istrovka, died. Pilot and navigator were unable to eject. Their remains have already been found, the crash site cordoned off.
P.S: interestingly it’s not near the places where the crash sites were reported previously. (Post №4)
/11. If we enter the category of unconfirmed rumors, then we can talk about:
Two Mi-8s, one Su-35 and one Su-34 in total. But it is best to give a little time for this very vague event to finally clear up.
/12. Both Mi-8s fell over Klintsy. Su-34 and Su-35 crashed near the 🇺🇦 border near Starodub. Interception plan was deployed throughout the southwestern part of the Bryansk region. - Russian media.
PS: Why do you need an “interception plan”? Haven't you intercepted enough already?

/15. Russian media - "The aircrafts that crashed in the Bryansk region were shot down not from the territory of Russia - the Armed Forces of 🇺🇦 attacked it from the Chernihiv region, Ukraine".

Ukraine’s SOF has destroyed a railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal near Rozdolne in occupied Crimea.
Strike drones first destroyed the bridge itself before returning the following night to hit repair equipment and the remaining structure.
The bridge became the first Russian bridge in Crimea to be completely destroyed by strike drones since the start of Ukraine’s campaign against military logistics infrastructure on the peninsula.
/2. One thing that stands out compared to similar bridge strikes is the attack profile.
Instead of simply hitting the bridge deck from above, the drone operators flew their drones in from the side, targeting both the supports and the structure itself.
Honestly, this is something I've been wondering about since the beginning of this strike campaign against Crimean brigades. Judging by the results, the bridge appears far more vulnerable to side impacts than strikes on the roadway alone, making me wonder why this approach wasn't used earlier against bridges in Armyansk or Chongar, etc.
/3. Rozdolne bridge location. Without it Rusian railroad logistics is impossible further than Kerch peninsula.
🔥🛢️ Ukrainian drones struck the Moscow Oil Refinery today, with a fire currently burning at the facility following the attack.
It processing capacity is approximately 11.6 million tonnes of petroleum products per year. The facility is estimated to supply around 40% of the fuel consumed in Moscow and Moscow Oblast.
/2. Additional footages of today's strikes on the Moscow Oil Refinery and their aftermath.
⚡️❗️/1. UkrArmoTech launches factory trials of the new tracked APC “Skif,” Ukraine’s new domestically developed tracked armored vehicle shaped by frontline combat experience.
/2. Over the course of the full-scale war, Ukrainian forces have received a significant number of tracked APCs of the U.S.-designed M113 family, delivered in various versions.
Despite its age, the platform has proven effective, reliable, easy to maintain, spacious, and with adequate mobility.
Based on this experience, Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense сформulated requirements for domestic manufacturers to develop a vehicle that would surpass the M113 in protection and firepower, while maintaining comparable mobility.
The “Skif” APC was developed within this framework, incorporating proven components and systems from international manufacturers involved in producing armored vehicles derived from the M113 platform.
/3. The “Skif” APC is designed to transport troops and provide fire support, operating in all conditions.
It carries a crew of three and up to eight dismounts, with a rear ramp for access, and is built on a modular platform for multiple variants.
❗️Russian media report that contact has been lost with a military transport An-26 aircraft over Crimea.
/2. Russian sources linked to military aviation confirm the crash of an An-26 transport aircraft over Crimea. The crew was killed.
/3. According to the Russian aviation-linked channel Fighterbomber, the An-26 that crashed over Crimea was carrying around 30 personnel on board at the time of the incident.
