#shahed drones

[dontforgetukraine]

In September, not a single day passed without Russia's drone attack on Ukraine. According to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the terrorist state launched 1,339 Shahed drones last month. Of those, 1,107 were successfully shot down, while some others were neutralised by electronic warfare. The rest hit Ukrainian cities and settlements, killing, injuring, and destroying. On average, Russia launched 44 drones each day, with the largest assault on 14 September, when 76 UAVs targeted more than 10 regions across Ukraine. It is crucial for the international community to stand with Ukraine, support its fight for freedom, and work together to bring an end to this war. Holding those responsible for these attacks accountable is essential to achieving just and lasting peace for Ukraine and the world. —Ukraine.ua

US asked Ukraine for help fighting Iranian drones, Zelensky says

Ukraine's president says Kyiv will only help if doing so does not deplete its own air defences.

No country has as much experience shooting down Shahed drones as Ukraine. So the US and countries in the Middle East have asked Ukraine to share its expertise as Iran uses its Shaheds and other drones against facilities in the Persian Gulf region.

The US has asked Ukraine for help defending Gulf allies against Iranian drones, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. He said Ukraine's partners had been reaching out and there had been "requests from the American side". Zelensky said he had given instructions "to provide the necessary means and ensure the presence of Ukrainian specialists who can guarantee the necessary security". Asked about the Ukrainian offer, US President Donald Trump said: "I'll take any assistance from any country." Earlier Zelensky had made clear Ukraine would help on condition that its own defence was not weakened and that there were diplomatic gains for Kyiv. He suggested, in particular, that Ukraine would be willing to swap its interceptor drones for more US Patriot air defences to protect against Russian ballistic missiles.

Actually, Ukraine should ask for Tomahawk cruise missiles. The only way to truly end this war for good is with a Russian defeat.

Huh. When out of those 186 drones Russians sent at us two days ago (was it two days ago?🤔 I lost track of time with the new puppy I got), 95 were "lost and unable to radiolocate", I was basically like "🤨🤨🤨 Huh? How do you lose 95 drones??"

But now it makes sense! We have finally figured out how to hack them and send them back to Russia!

Are we awesome? Yes, we are awesome☺️🇺🇦

^^^ What the summit was really about was Putin reminding Trump who is the Alpha in that relationship.

Anyway, while Putin was on his way to Alaska, Ukraine sank a Russian freighter in the Caspian Sea which had been transporting Iranian drone components.

Ukraine says it has bombed Russian ship carrying drone parts at Caspian port

This signals a greater willingness by Ukraine to go after weapons shipments heading to Russia from Iran. This is probably not a one time operation.

More bad news for Putin's Black Sea fleet. 😁

The Ukrainian Air Force has taken out the Novocherkassk, a 112.5 meter landing vessel, which was parked at the port of Feodosia in illegally occupied Crimea.

Russia says the Novocherkassk was "damaged"; that's quite an understatement. Looking at this photo, you can see it mostly submerged and badly burnt in front of some dock structures.

There are unconfirmed reports that the Novocherkassk was carrying Iranian Shahed drones. The presence of the Novocherkassk at a dock with large cranes and the disproportionately powerful explosion would indicate that the Novocherkassk had a significant amount of munitions on board at the time and may have been either delivering or loading them.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to the destruction of the Russian Novocherkassk with a classic burn...

I am grateful to our Air Force for the impressive replenishment of the Russian underwater Black Sea fleet with another vessel. Вдячний нашим Повітряним силам за ефектне поповнення російського підводного Чорноморського флоту ще однією посудиною.

Considering that Ukraine has little in the way of a navy, some of its most high profile successes against Russia have been on the Black Sea.
