Funny enough first records of Malian recruits with Russian MoD in Ukraine were published by Sahel-related news, probably captured from the KIA Africa Corps or Malian Junta.

An unknown Ukrainian SSO unit managed to sneak up and raid a Russian position, the attack resulted in 4 Russian KIAs, the soldier can be seen taking passports and trophies from the small pocket of unit who were sent as DRG and to intensify the grey zone and wait for more additional units.

First recorded Unmanned Naval Vessel warfare:

In the Black Sea, the Ukrainian unmanned surface vessel Sargan 3000 destroyed a Russian unmanned boat.

The target was detected by Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR). The Sargan, armed with an RWS Protector 12.7 mm remote weapon station, then engaged and destroyed the Russian vessel.

The Russian "Gerbera" drone, shot down by Mi-8 helicopter bounced off the ground and then hit it again before exploding.

Russians have used all sorts of Geran drones to hit gas stations in Ukraine, over 300 have been hit around the frontlines especially during the rush hours to make life more miserable for the people and even making it harder for military units to operate near the frontlines. A sad thing but this is Russia's response to its oil refinery getting hit everyday.

Ukraine's Budanov:

Twenty years ago, Gazprom was worth around $270 billion. Today, according to various estimates, that number has fallen to around $30 billion.

Therefore, the impact is quite serious.

A footage of abandoned vehicles from Russian army during the initial stage of the war, apparently running out of fuel after extending their advance from south of Ukraine (either Kherson or Zaporizhzhia).

This footage is from an Israeli military raid in the town of Meithalun, located south of Jenin. During the operation, Israeli special forces and undercover Border Police units surrounded a residential building.

The individual shot and killed by the forces was identified as Hassan Rabaya (also reported as Hassan Rabia'a), a 40-year-old officer in the Palestinian security forces.

According to local community sources and the Palestinian Red Crescent, Rabaya was shot after stepping out of the surrounded house, and emergency medical teams were initially blocked from reaching him.

The footage was circulating gore channels again, it belongs to 2024 not 2025.

Over 30 Russian soldiers emerged one after another from a pipe in Mala Kurchakivka, Yunakivska community.

"The attack lasted for over 10 hours. However, the soldiers of the 71st separate rifle brigade, together with allied units, once again stopped the senseless Russian offensive. 29 occupiers were killed, and three were wounded."

According to the source.

A "Stuhna-P" ATGM was used against a Russian drone and it managed to hit the drone.

In the night of September 13th, operators from the 1st Separate Special Operations Center, along with other units of the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine, struck the oil refining complex "TANECO" in Nizhnekamsk, Republic of Tatarstan, Russia.

"TANECO" is one of the largest oil refining complexes in Russia. The plant's design capacity is over 16 million tons of oil per year. The refinery produces diesel and aviation fuel, as well as other petroleum products.

Distance to the target ~1200 km.

Ukrainian soldier during a cleaning operation of a Russian dug-out position faces a lot of issues when SPG-9s and mortars start to rain down on the vicinity of their location and soon FPV and drone-drop munition comes to effect as well, the footage was captured by a helmet camera of Ukrainian Army soldier, the time is estimated to be either winter of 2025 or the September of 2026, the snow has already hit several frontline positions.

Archival footage that has been shared recently by @texico511. international legion somewhere around Donestk in 2024-2025 raiding a small compound and corner few Russians who will not give up, nor surrender. The unit advances with cover-to-cover and suppressive fire, as soon as they get to the settlement they start a mopping operation, shooting angles, grenade into basements. The unit can be heard speaking English, most of the soldiers here were previously trained before joining Ukrainian International legion in 2022 or 2023.

Notably Texico uses an RKG-3 series (RKG-3E or RKG-3EM) anti-tank grenade. It houses a spring-loaded stabilizing parachute that deploys upon throwing to ensure the shaped-charge warhead hits the target at a precise 90-degree angle to maximize armor penetration. He constantly utilizes RGD-5 and F-1 grenades that designed for fragmentation spread in confined places.

He also uses an AK-pattern (presumably AK-7) gun equipped with KPYK (Crook) aluminum M-LOK handguard and a suppressor.

Ukrainian soldier with an interesting patch.

The date of the photo is unknown, based on the uniform and the yellow armband I guess it must belong to 2023 to 2024.

Giants Brigades released footage showing them targeting a Houthi armored vehicle on Kahbub Mountain with an ATGM.
