On October 4, several videos documenting some of the Russian military’s recent operations against Kiev forces surfaced online.
Ten of the videos show dozens of attacks with FPV suicide drones, grenade-dropping drones, and interceptor drones that targeted Ukrainian troops, posts and equipment, across several directions within the special military operation zone over the last few days.
An additional video shows a rocket attack that targeted Ukrainian fortifications near the settlement of Volchansk in the Kharkiv direction.
Two more videos show three recent airstrikes that targeted command posts of Kiev forces near the city of Seversk and the settlement of Konstantinovka in the Donetsk direction, as well as on a temporary deployment point of Ukrainian troops somewhere between the directions of Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia.
The airstrikes were carried out using UMPK-equipped FAB-250 and FAB-3000 guided glide bombs, in addition to a LMUR guided missile.
Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced in its daily briefing that missile, drone and artillery strikes hit “power objects ensuring operation of Ukrainian defence industry enterprises, long-range UAV preparation sites as well as temporary deployment areas of Ukrainian armed formations, nationalists, and foreign mercenaries in 143 areas” over the past 24 hours.
The ministry also said that Russian air defenses shot down during the same period five guided aerial bombs, one American-made HIMARS projectile, and 314 fixed-wing drones over the special military operation zone.
According to the ministry, Kiev forces have lost 667 aircraft, 283 helicopters, 88,028 drones, 631 air defense systems, 25,351 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 1,592 multiple rocket launchers, 30,176 artillery pieces, and 43,185 support vehicles since the start of the special military operation.
