‼️BREAKING: Right now the SBU is striking the Russian military airfield Belaya in the Irkutsk region by controlling drones in real time, receiving a video signal from the drones! (Video is from the Irkutsk region)

Belaya Air Base, located approximately 85 km northwest of Irkutsk in Russia's Irkutsk Oblast, serves as a strategic site for long-range bomber operations. Situated about 4,000 km from Ukraine, it hosts Tu-95MS, Tu-160, and Tu-22M3 bombers equipped with Kh-101, Kh-555, and Kh-55 cruise missiles, enabling long-range strikes against Ukrainian targets.

This is the furthest Ukrainian drone attack during the entire war!

🚨At the very same time second Russian airbase in Olenegorsk, Murmansk region, is also under drone attack!

Olenya Air Base near Olenegorsk, Murmansk region, is about 1,800 km from Ukraine. Russia uses it to launch Tu-95MS, Tu-160, and Tu-22M3 bombers armed with Kh-101 and Kh-555 cruise missiles in long-range strikes against Ukraine.

Strong detonations on the airfield territory. We can also see that locals recorded FPV drones flying over their heads. And this is happening 4400km from the frontline.

P.S: I also repeat that several airfields in different parts of Russia are under attack at the same time, don’t get confused!

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.

⚡️❗️/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.
