Towed artillery pieces are hard to destroy using FPVs, but the barrel itself is often targeted with a shaped-charge warhead.
A Ukrainian 2P22 “Bohdana-BG” 155-mm howitzer was seen with stand-off “hedgehog” protection made of unraveled steel cables attached to the barrel.

"Russia is turning to its Far East as one of the alternative ways to export its grain, as Ukrainian strikes disrupt flows from its key Black Sea ports, Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut said.

Since July, major wheat suppliers Russia and Ukraine have attacked each other’s ports, terminals and shipping infrastructure in the Black Sea, sharply reducing exports of key commodities ranging from oil to grain. The Black Sea basin accounts for more than 70% of Russia’s grain exports, and the disruption to the route came at the peak of the summer crop-export season."

For the first time since the beginning of the war, Ukrainian long-range strike drones reached the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug located in northern Russia, at the time breaking the distance record (+2,800 kilometers from the border with Ukraine).

The target of the Ukrainian OWA-UAV raid in Yamalia was the Condensate Preparation for Transportation Plant located in the city of Novy Urengoy. The plant is a critically important facility of the Russian gas industry, responsible for the extraction of unstable gas condensate from the deep, geologically complex Achimov and Valanginian deposits of the Urengoyskoye oil and gas condensate field so that it can be safely transported via pipelines.

As a result of the strikes, a fire broke out on the territory of the object.

The Governor of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Dmitry Artyukhov, confirmed the fact of the attack, although claimed that it was repelled, and that the fire was caused by the good old drone debris.

"Russia’s oil-processing is being degraded as sanctions prevent the refining industry from recovering from more intense and precise Ukrainian drone strikes, according to the International Energy Agency.

'It now appears likely that the persistent drone strikes and the patchwork nature of repairs are having a cumulative negative effect and degrading the refining system,' the Paris-based agency said in a monthly oil report published Friday.

Ukraine has been attacking Russia’s energy infrastructure to reduce the nation’s ability to process and export crude and curtail the Kremlin’s revenues used to finance the full-scale invasion. In August, the Russian oil refineries were hit at least 22 times, the highest monthly total since the start of the war, according to a Bloomberg tally based on public statements from both nations.

The IEA revised down its baseline outlook for Russian oil processing over the next 18 months to around 4 million barrels a day, down 30% from levels before the invasion of Ukraine, it said."

After lagging behind in a number of drone technologies, Russia 🇷🇺 is slowly catching up on Ukraine 🇺🇦

Despite persistent lag in certain key sectors, specifically drone connectivity, bombers, UGVs, and mid-range strikes, ground has been made up in a number of areas.

🔸Interceptor drones: Despite a critical lag that peaked in May and June, Russian drone operators have managed to increase interceptions of Ukrainian mid- and long-range drones and heavy bombers. There is still work to be done, particularly regarding Ukrainian ISR capabilities, but Russia started from a significant disadvantage. Substantial resources have been diverted to C-UAS (Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems) efforts.

🔸Long-range strikes: With the arrival of a series of jet-powered drones (and even missiles), including the Geran-4, Geran-5, S8000 Banderol, and others, Russia is improving strike precision and effectiveness while using fewer drones. The Geran-4 has been used extensively as a counterpart to the FP-2 for mid-range strikes, while also continuing to conduct long-range missions.

🔸Mid-range strikes: Russia's biggest issue is a lack of connectivity, which limits the range of many drones; the deployment of Rasvet satellites will take time. Nevertheless, the BM-35 mid-range drone, including a new jet-powered version, appears to be seeing renewed activity in the distance. Meanwhile, the Molniyah (low-cost and mass-produced) and the Gerbera (a Shahed decoy, sometimes carrying a warhead) are conducting strikes both at the front and further behind.

🔸FPV drones: Russian FPV drones, whether fiber-optic or standard models, continue to outnumber their Ukrainian counterparts, carrying out massive daily strikes along the front line. The Russian military was not particularly behind in this area to begin with, but it continues to make progress. Only problem ? Ukrainian jamming that can prevent entire directions from using classic drones for few hours...

🔸The organization of Russia's drone forces continues to strengthen. Unlike Ukraine, which employs a wide variety of drones, Russia concentrates production on a few specific models; this allows for mass production but carries potential risks in the event of Ukrainian strikes or the obsolescence of certain systems. The gradual reorganization of drone teams within Russian units (a topic frequently discussed by @kriegsforscherD ), the large-scale training taking place in schools, and continuous preparations for a long war are all concerning developments for the future, not only for Ukraine but for Europe as well.

At present, I believe Ukraine still holds an advantage in several areas, particularly those involving Starlink, electronic warfare, and FPV drones. This lead could widen if the right decisions are made, especially regarding the procurement of specific drones and technologies. However, Russia has managed to narrow the significant gap that existed up until the spring and continues to expand its long-range strike capabilities...

Russia is significantly increasing its strikes on Ukraine with new means – cheap cruise missiles, which they launch from ground and air platforms (including from UAVs). More details in the thread

S8000 “Banderol”. The range is 500 km. The weight of the warhead is 120 kg. As of August 2026, it can be launched from a Mi-28 helicopter and a heavy UAV “Orion”.

S-71K and S-71M. So far, these missiles are not used so often by the Russians, but active development of these new weapons is ongoing, which can strike at a depth of 500 and 800 km, respectively, while having a 250 and 65 kg warhead. As of August, launches are being carried out from the Su-57. In the near future, the Su-35S, Su-30SM and Su-34M will also have this capability.

“Dan-T”. A rather promising Russian cruise missile, which as of August has the ability to be launched from a ground platform and a large number of air platforms. The missile's flight range is 500 km with a 135 kg warhead. Launches can be carried out from the Su-25SM3, Su-30SM, Su-34, Su-57, and Mi-28.

Geran-5. Despite the rather good production volumes of these cruise missiles (in May 2026, the monthly figure was approximately 200 units; now it has been significantly increased), we do not see them often yet. This missile can be launched from both ground platforms and Su-25SM3.

"Filin". One of the promising developments from the manufacturers of the Russian "Molniya". The Russians claim that this is a strike UAV, not a cruise missile. But we can assume that this is a debatable issue. The flight range will be 1200 km with a 50 or 100 kg warhead.

In my opinion, in 2027 we should expect an extremely large number of problems from these cheap missiles, which are difficult to intercept. The Russians plan to produce about 10,000 missiles of the Dan-T alone in 2027. It should also be expected (in my humble opinion) that a large number of these weapons will be able to be launched from ground platforms, ships, airplanes, and aviation. We need significant help to combat new threats.

Presumably, ground-based launcher for the Russian cruise missile Dan-T.

Liutyi is too well built to be a suicide drone, so even shifting into a more TB-2 role is imo a wise decision. Spending 200k on a propeller attack drone is moronic.
