The attached article is a bit too jingoistic for me, but the situation on the Sumy front is also looking better.
Crimea on fire.
Any day with a busted Buk is a good day.
x ⚡️Ukraine destroys $40 million Russian Buk air defense system, military intelligence says. Ukrainian special forces detected and destroyed a Russian Buk-M3 anti-aircraft missile system in the occupied part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast on Sept. 14, Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) reported.

Do you suppose it was a bad idea to ride in the back of the truck with all the ammunition?
This is an interesting intercepted conversation about a wounded Russian soldier who was in the hospital with a splinter in his neck. But the splinter was left in because removing it would require a long rehab and then they wouldn’t be able to send him back to the front.
He scored a fridge and a washing machine, but where’s the toilet?
x Left bank of Kherson. A Russian terrorist is bragging about refrigerators and a washing machine that were stolen from civilians. It’s unlikely he brought them all the way from Kazan or Chelyabinsk.

The evolution of drone warfare continues.
The Vyriy-10 drones are one of the most widely used by Ukraine. This new model costs just $448.
The upgraded Vyriy-10, already one of the most widely used drones on the frontlines, will now come standard with TFL’s TFL-1 terminal guidance module, enabling precision strikes even under heavy jamming and electronic warfare. “Over the past few months, we have been supplying TFL-1 modules to a number of combat brigades,” said Yaroslav Azhnyuk, CEO of The Fourth Law. “The use of our system has increased drone strike effectiveness by 2–4 times, while the cost rises by only 10%,” he added.
Russia has begun a campaign against Ukraine rail infrastructure.

The occupiers are massively attacking our main transport hubs. These include Lozova, Synelnykovo, and Kozyatyn. In fact, they are striking across the country, trying to disable not only the tracks, but also substations, depots, and train stations.
The depth of Trump’s ignorance about this war is astounding.
x "Trump asked me if Russia is winning. I said no. I told him to ask General Keane, and he also said no. If Putin were winning, he would be in Kyiv, west of the Dnipro, in Odesa, and he would have already changed the government. In fact, Russia is losing this war." -- WH Envoy Lt. Gen. Kellogg #OSINT

x Referring to Ukrainian and Russian troop casualties, Trump told reporters Sunday: “8,000 soldiers have died this week, from both countries. Some more from Russia, but when you’re the aggressor, you lose more.” Wondering if he understood something or just misspoke by accident 🤔

Kellogg is making too much sense. He’ll be fired soon.
x 🇺🇸 Kellogg: We had a discussion in the Oval; they were talking about the "primacy" of the Russian military. I said, "we would kick their ass." They are not as good as Putin says they are; for that, I give credit to the Ukrainian military.

How’s the Russian economy doing?
Could be several reasons for this:
A. Need the cash to pay for increasing costs.
B. Think their money is safer in a mattress than in a Russian bank.
x ‼️ Russia: “Russia's central bank reported accelerated growth in cash outside the banking system for the second month in a row” 🍿 People continue to take their cash out of banks www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/09/15/t...

What happens to anti-drone tunnels when someone comes up with scissors drones?
Russia has a political need to frame this war as Russia vs. NATO.
x Peskov: ❗️"NATO is at war with Russia; this is obvious and requires no further proof. NATO is de facto involved in this war. NATO provides both indirect and direct support to the Kyiv regime. Therefore, it can be said with absolute certainty that NATO is at war with Russia."

What a pompous ass.
Are people supposed to feel sorry for him because he can’t hang out in his Italian villa any more?
Fuck him.
x Russian propagandist Solovyev claims that he died on February 24, 2022.
It was after this date that he stopped traveling to Italy,the US, and the UK,as these countries imposed personal sanctions on him that same yr "The man who was a man of the world died. Cheerful, chubby, regularly losing weight,

"The man who was a man of the world died. Cheerful, chubby, regularly losing weight, who loved traveling to Italy, to America, to England, who thought everything would be wonderful and fine, who saw old age coming in a completely different way, who thought it would be something entirely different. That man died then. And a new man was born - a man of war," Solovyev said.
These are reported to be the first senior personnel changes since changing to a corps system.
x ⚡️Syrskyi dismisses 2 corps commanders over lost territory, media reports. Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi has dismissed Volodymyr Silenko, head of the 17th Corps, and Maksym Kituhin, commander of the 20th Corps.

The 17th Corps, led by Silenko, was responsible for the sector of the front line south of Zaporizhzhia, where Ukrainian forces recently lost control of the village of Kamianske and were partially driven out of Plavni, both located along the Dnipro River. Kituhin’s 20th Corps was deployed along the border between Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts, which Russian forces crossed in August, digging into the latter region for the first time.
From filmmaker to battalion commander.

Another 910 Russians, but sadly, no tanks.
A large number of the Russian casualties can be attributed to the Magyars Birds drone units
x More than 100 inflicted casualties per day just by the Magyars Birds and for the whole USF, results in September so far indicate a bit over 30% increase in caused Russian casualties compared to June. This is very impressive

Just what the world needs more of — right-wing nationalist bro culture.
x Russian rapper Misha Mavashi was once known for corny tracks about healthy living. Now his right-wing nationalist movement is gaining steam — and, quietly, official support.

The president of Finland says he doesn’t have much hope for the future of Russia due to a persistent imperialistic strain in Russia’s culture.
Disgraceful. Pathetic. Embarrassing.
x Reuters reports that U.S. military officers observed joint war games between Russia and Belarus on Monday. The U.S. granted sanctions relief to Belarus’ airline Belavia, enabling it to purchase Boeing parts. Trump also seeks to reopen the U.S. embassy, normalize ties, and revive trade relations

x 2/ I wouldn’t be surprised if another “genius strategist” in Pete Hegseth’s cabinet came up with a brilliant idea to “de-couple” Belarus from Russia. They might think that - no one’s ever tried that before, so it must be such an innovative, fresh approach — Tatarigami (@tatarigami.bsky.social) September 15, 2025 at 9:46 AM
Ditto for India.
x The joint military training between Belarus and Russia at the Polish border? Turns out India is there too. The Indian Armed Forces sent a 65-person contingent to participate in Russia and Belarus's Zapad 2025 military exercises, which takes place from September 10 to 16, 2025. — Olga Nesterova (@onestpress.onestnetwork.com) September 14, 2025 at 7:06 AM
Irony died a long time ago.
