Western allies are in no hurry to transfer or give permission to use weapons, but a new trend is emerging. The West agrees to provide technology and invest in the construction of factories in Ukraine itself for the production of various weapons, including missiles. 1/8
Forbes published an article with a link to a video. The article reports that Ukraine has invented its own precision glide bomb. it could become a key weapon for strikes on targets in Russia. A recent video shot by the crew of a Ukrainian air force Sukhoi Su-27 fighter 2/8
depicts an air force Sukhoi Su-24 bomber carrying a prototype gliding munition under its wing. With its wings and tail-mounted rocket booster, the presumably GPS-guided bomb looks a lot like a Hammer. It’s possible the Ukrainians actually copied the French weapon. 3/8
It was also stated at the Rammstein summit that the United States and Ukraine, with the assistance of several European companies, are currently developing a replacement for the S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems and R-27 missiles. The S-300 is a Russian-made system and 4/8
Ukraine is running out of missiles for it. Although Ukraine has the potential to repair and modernize some S-300 systems, full-scale production of these systems is not carried out in Ukraine, since key technologies and components for production belong to Russia and 5/8
are controlled by Russian enterprises, such as the Almaz-Antey concern. Organizing production in Ukraine, although not the fastest solution, is beneficial in the long term in many ways. 6/8
Ukraine will be able to produce weapons itself and use them without looking back at the United States. In addition, new jobs are created and may become an important export in the future. 7/8
The Ukrainian drone strikes on Moscow once again demonstrate the futility of weapons restrictions and the Kremlin's lack of red lines. This is the largest drone attack on Moscow from Ukraine. Drones hit Ramenskoye, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky. Several drones hit residential

buildings. This may be due to the work of Russian air defense. Ukraine is aiming at military targets because bombing civilians does not improve the situation at the front. Drones do not cause much destruction since their warhead is about 10 times smaller than that of Russian

FAB-500 bombs, but they have a psychological effect. Russia is not going to stop. The loss of part of the Kursk region, huge losses of personnel, a declining economy - Russia is not going to withdraw its troops from Ukrainian territory. In this case, the aggressor can only

On August 27, the American publication The Wall Street Journal published an article citing the words of a certain, as is usually the case with Western media, unnamed official. He noted that Ukraine does not receive approval for strikes on Russian territory with ATACMS

missiles, since the Russian Aerospace Forces have withdrawn 90% of their aircraft deep into the territory, beyond the reach of ballistic missiles. Alexander Kovalenko analyzed whether this is true. This is a lie, which was also voiced on September 5 by Deputy Spokesperson

for the US Department of Defense Sabrina Singh at a briefing in the Pentagon. All supplied missiles are limited by international rules for the export of missile weapons - 300 km. That is why, when talking about the possibility of using long-range missile weapons of Western

The Russian advance in the Pokrovsk direction has slowed. Ukraine was able to send reserves to this area and Russia is suffering huge losses trying to attack. Russia tried to expand the flanks in the direction of Pokrovsk. Heavy fighting is underway in the Selydove area, but 1/6
Russia is unable to advance. The advance has also slowed in the Toretsk direction. The arriving Azov was even able to push Russian troops back near Niu-York and unblock the encircled Ukrainian units. Azov writes that the Russians are conducting up to 15 assaults a day in 2/6
this direction, but Ukraine is managing to hold back the defense. Russia reported complete control over Niu-York, but as usual this turned out to be a lie. Fighting for the city continues. The Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region has also predictably slowed down, but 3/6
Residents of the Kursk region refuse to evacuate due to fears. They are afraid not of the advancing Ukrainian army, but of their home being robbed by Russian soldiers. In the Glushkovsky district of the Kursk region, cut off from the main forces after the destruction of all 1/7
three bridges across the Seim River, Russian soldiers are looting houses and shops. When local residents contact the police, they are told that this cannot be. The authorities say that this is being done by Ukrainian soldiers dressed as Russians. It turns out that those who 2/7
should, in theory, protect the citizens of their country are the main danger to them. In addition to looting, Russian soldiers, frightened by the approach of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and reports of sabotage and reconnaissance groups, are starting to shoot at everything 3/7
1/16 Kursk Day 31: After more than a month of operations in Kursk, what should we expect next? Insight by @joni_askola
2/16 It has been over a month since Ukraine launched its surprising operation in the Kursk region. The early stages of this operation were notably successful and took many by surprise, yet the complete goals are still not fully understood.
3/16 The speculated objectives of the operation vary from regaining the initiative and compelling the russian offensive in the east to culminate by diverting troops to Kursk, to establishing a buffer zone, gaining leverage for negotiations, and much more.
The death toll from the Russian strike on the Institute of Communications in Poltava has reached 53, and the number of wounded has reached 298. September 3rd Explosions thundered in Poltava at about 09:10 AM. An air raid siren was sounded in the region 2-3 minutes before 1/9
the explosions. In the afternoon, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry reported that the enemy had struck the educational institution with two ballistic missiles. Later, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that the enemy had hit the Institute of Communications in 2/9
Poltava and a nearby hospital. One of the buildings of the educational institution was destroyed, and people were trapped under the rubble. Classes were underway at the institute, and when the alarm sounded, the students had too little time to get to the bomb shelter. 3/9
