On October 8, several videos documenting some of the Russian military’s recent operations against Kiev forces surfaced online.
14 of the videos show dozens of attacks with FPV suicide drones, Lancet loitering munitions, and interceptors that targeted Ukrainian troops, posts and equipment, across several directions within the special military operation zone over the last few days.
Notably, one of the Lancet strikes targeted a FrankenSAM air defense system, which is a Soviet-made Buk-M1 modified to fire American-made anti-aircraft missiles, in the Sumy direction. Another strike hit a locomotive used to transfer supplies for Kiev forces in the Chernihiv direction.
One more video shows a strike with an Iskander-M tactical ballistic missile on a drone assembly workshop in the Kherson direction.
Another video shows simultaneous airstrikes with four UMPK-equipped guided glide bombs, most likely FAB-500s, on positions of Kiev forces close to the settlement of Svyato-Pokrovske in the direction of Donetsk.
In addition, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced in its daily briefing that missile, drone and artillery strikes hit “the traction substation and a rolling stock involved in the AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine) units transportation, the infrastructure of the military airfield, assembly workshops and storage areas of unmanned aerial vehicles, a fuel depot, as well as temporary deployment areas of Ukrainian armed formations and foreign mercenaries in 141 areas” over the past 24 hours.
The ministry added that Russian air defenses shot down during the same period two guided aerial bombs, four American-made HIMARS projectiles, and 218 fixed-wing drones.
According to the ministry, Kiev forces have lost 667 aircraft, 283 helicopters, 89,163 drones, 631 air defense systems, 25,410 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 1,593 multiple rocket launchers, 30,280 artillery pieces, and 43,469 support vehicles since the start of the special military operation.

its always nice to be infront the losers from ‘hato’.
don’t like bombing of ukraine military. i do want the power structures obliterated though. imo those should always be the first targets, start at thr political centers and expand from there. my guess, one would get peace with about 99+% less casualties and everyone can go back to swimming naked with their girlfriend. i hate pleb war, only support war against governments and their controllers.
