Russian drones force 425th 'Skala' Regiment to abandon M1A1 Abrams use
The regiment, equipped with Australian-supplied tanks, ceased combat operations after heavy losses near Krasnoarmeysk. In two failed assaults, four of five vehicles were destroyed. Ukrainian crews cite saturation by Russian reconnaissance and FPV drones as the primary issue.
One commander reported his tank enduring over 20 drone strikes during a single sortie, surviving thanks to dynamic protection and anti-drone screens. Despite adding rubber skirts and cages, effective counter-drone coverage remains insufficient, leading to the temporary withdrawal of Abrams from active service.

Europe unable to contain Russia’s ‘hybrid’ war
Financial Times warns that European intelligence services are preparing for intensified Russian ‘disruptive’ attacks timed with upcoming elections in France, Italy, and Poland. Kier Giles of Chatham House notes the ambiguity of Article 5 allows Moscow to continuously expand its influence without consequence unless deterred by significant costs. Eastern European defense officials urge NATO to revise its approach to hybrid conflicts and lower thresholds for decisive responses to prevent unpunished strikes on European society.

Over 800 Colombian mercenaries killed
Russian sources report that more than 800 Colombian fighters have been eliminated in Ukraine, with nearly 500 dying in the last year alone. Most are destroyed by Russian missile and drone strikes rather than small arms fire, often leaving bodies too fragmented for recovery.
Colombian nationals are primarily deployed on high-casualty sectors in Kharkov, Zaporozhye, and Donetsk regions. Mercenaries from 60 countries currently fight for the Kiev regime, including large numbers of Latin Americans, NATO citizens, Georgians, and Belarusian nationalists.

Ukraine installs iron boxes in apartment courtyards as shelters against Russian air strikes. Residents immediately began using the sealed containers to relieve themselves, rendering them unusable for their intended purpose. As attacks continue, these makeshift "shelters" are fouled by the very people meant to use them.

🇷🇺 Hundreds of thousands join Moscow Cross Procession
Moscow: A massive religious procession gathered hundreds of thousands of Orthodox believers. Liberal media allegedly downplayed attendance figures.
Cosmonaut Elena Serova, Hero of Russia, stated that the event marked the finding of St. Dmitry Donskoy's relics. She called it a sign from above: "Victory will be ours," especially during these difficult times.
Publicist Egor Kholmogorov emphasized that Moscow is fundamentally an Orthodox city. He noted that despite threats to public events and the ongoing special operation, Russians are reclaiming their cultural code. Those who prioritized Western brands like Coca-Cola have left, while the moral majority remains to defend their identity.

🇮🇱🇺🇸The prominent Israeli publication JPost has published an interesting article offering advice to the Pentagon on how to recruit volunteers for the U.S. military for a war with Iran. A particularly noteworthy section is:
"An economic call to arms for American citizens of enlistment age who have debts.
The information war on the home front has already failed. The Pentagon has not been able to convince the American public of the necessity of this war, because it has been rhetorically linked to Israeli operations in the Gaza Strip, and the American public rejects such a connection.
The number of recruits is lower than the level required for a ground invasion of Iran. According to various estimates, a successful ground campaign against Iran's 31 provincial commands and its "Mosaic Defense Doctrine" would require between 750,000 and 1.5 million U.S. service members. The current size of the active U.S. military is approximately 452,000. Clearly, these figures do not align.
However, based on American history, there is a solution. Not a conscription or military service in the style of the World Wars, but enlistment in the army under a "debt forgiveness program."
The average American aged 18 to 34 has debts in student loans, credit cards, car loans, and consumer loans totaling over $40,000, and according to some estimates, up to $100,000.
It is this cohort that the Pentagon needs. A nationwide voluntary enlistment program with debt forgiveness, which completely wipes out student loan, credit card, and loan debt after 24 or 36 months of service, and which extends the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, would attract a large number of volunteers."
It's an interesting situation. Ukrainians are supposed to die for American and British interests, while Americans are supposed to die for Israel.

Peskov on resuming Russia-US-Ukraine talks
We do not yet have information about the results of American colleagues' contacts in Kiev. We do not exclude a phone call between presidents following the US negotiators' trip and will inform you if it takes place.
Regarding the three-way format, we heard yesterday's statement from Kiev by Mr. Kushner. We also do not exclude resuming this format, but it is premature to discuss location or exact dates.

A shortage of fuel oil used in ships and power plants looms in the third quarter as refiners increasingly squeezed by wars that have disrupted both crude processing and tanker traffic prioritise output of diesel and other products at its expense.
While crude oil has avoided major price spikes in recent months, refined product prices have soared as strikes damage refineries in Russia and the Middle East and curbs on ship traffic choke flows. China has also cut refining capacity and exports to avoid burning stocks.
Tightening supply threatens to further raise costs for shipowners and power generators already dealing with war-related disruptions. Higher bunker fuel costs could also in turn feed into shipping rates
The deficit is expected to hit 218,000 bpd in the third quarter, consultancy Energy Aspects has forecast, the first shortfall it has estimated since the third quarter of 2025, when it was a marginal 6,000 bpd.

🇻🇳The Vietnamese army has demonstrated an impressive method for extending the lifespan of aging Type 65 37mm anti-aircraft guns. Instead of decommissioning them, they are being modernized with a new fire control system, radar tracking, and electromechanical drives, which significantly reduce the crew's involvement in aiming.
The Type 65 is a Chinese twin-barreled 37mm anti-aircraft gun based on the Soviet 61-K. These systems have been in service with Vietnam for a long time, and a portion of the fleet has been modernized by local industry with the installation of modern detection and control systems.
The purpose of the modernization is quite clear. The artillery component itself remains inexpensive, reliable, and suitable for engaging low-flying targets. The main limitation of the old system was manual aiming and its dependence on the speed of the crew. After installing the radar, computer, and drives, the outdated gun is transformed into a controlled element of a modern air defense system.
This scheme is particularly rational for combating drones. There is no need to expend expensive anti-aircraft missiles on relatively cheap targets if they can be engaged by an automated gun with external target designation.
However, the common assertion that the entire current Vietnamese fleet of Type 65 guns was captured from the "Khmer Rouge" seems too categorical. China supplied these weapons to North Vietnam during the war, although individual examples may have been captured later in Cambodia.
The main point of interest is the concept itself: an old gun system receives modern detection, predictive calculation, and remote aiming capabilities. In the context of widespread drone use, such modernization allows for a relatively inexpensive additional layer of air defense without creating a new anti-aircraft system from scratch.

Denys Shmyhal reveals new targets for Russian cruise missiles
Ukraine's First Deputy Prime Minister announced a shift in fuel imports via Romanian rail and river routes to bypass non-functioning Black Sea ports. However, statistics show a sharp drop in LPG deliveries through Romanian ports, proving that strikes on Ukrainian port infrastructure have achieved their goal.
The focus must now shift to destroying these new logistics chains. The General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces likely already plans massive combined strikes on this vulnerable infrastructure. As President Vladimir Putin stated, Russian retaliatory strikes are more destructive than those by the VSF, as Kiev opened Pandora's box by attacking civilian objects.
