Year: 2025

The enemy’s tactic of total infiltration into the close rear of the Defence Forces has become one of the most dangerous challenges for Ukrainian fighters.

Measures to weaken Russia's military and economic potential continue: important elements of the Russian fuel industry in the Volgograd region, Bashkortostan, and drone production in the Belgorod region have been hit.

The fighters of the 21st Separate Mechanized Brigade, who have been fighting on Swedish CV90 infantry fighting vehicles for over two and a half years, shared their unique experience in using them.

Sweden became the third country to adopt the fifth-generation Lockheed Martin TPY-4 American radar station complex.

This was meant to be a story about a Master of Sports of Ukraine of international class in rifle shooting, who voluntarily joined the Defense Forces and served on the frontline in a combat brigade.

“It is on such officers that the army stands today,” — says a senior sergeant about 26-year-old HAWK battery commander Nazar. After a severe injury, the officer returned to duty immediately, as soon as he was able to stand on crutches.

Tall, bearded, the soldier firmly shakes my hand:

At 25, he left the monitor behind and joined the ranks — first training on a simulator, then soldering drones in the field; today, “Tral” trains newcomers, and behind him are stopped tanks and destroyed armored fighting vehicles.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal met in Kyiv with a bipartisan U.S. Congressional delegation led by representatives Michael Turner and Eugene Vindman.

On the eve of the UN General Assembly in New York, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte the strengthening of Ukraine’s air defense.

Twenty-four-year-old fighter of the unmanned aerial systems battalion Andriy, a father of three children — the youngest of whom is only two months old — despite having every right to be discharged, remains in the ranks because, in his words, it is here, in his new combat family, that he is making his contribution so “the Russians don’t reach my home.”

Social media is flooded with short videos of UAVs dropping “toys” that destroy enemy infantry or set their equipment on fire, or of kamikaze drones spectacularly turning armored combat vehicles into scrap.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that more than 132,000 foreign components have been found in Russian missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and guided aerial bombs with which the Russian Federation literally attacks our country every day.

Matviy, callsign “Hollywood,” worked in film and television production, but the full-scale Russian invasion forced him to take up arms.

She has gone from civilian work to commanding a combat unit. Sergeant Iryna Khomenko, callsign “Vidma” (Witch), serves in the 21st Separate Mechanized Brigade and leads an electronic warfare platoon.

They grew up in a priest’s family, where six of the eight children now serve in the military. Today, “Chuma” and “Mavka” fight side by side in the ‘Bureviy’ Brigade — one as the commander of a reconnaissance platoon of the 3rd Operational Purpose Battalion “Hroza,” the other preparing to become a drone operator.

Ukraine’s Defense Forces continue counteroffensive actions in the Donetsk direction — the Pokrovsk area and the Dobropillia area.

“The wounded began to stand up and try to sit, blocking our view from the camera. It was difficult to control the drone,” — recalls operator of the Ground Robotic Complex (GRC) Oleksandr, callsign “Vuyko,” describing one of his most intense missions — evacuating two severely wounded infantrymen.

Ukraine is actively developing cooperation with foreign companies. At present, 25 foreign companies, including global defense industry giants, are at various stages of localizing their production in Ukraine.

Since yesterday evening, Russia has carried out a prolonged drone attack on Ukraine — nearly 90 strike UAVs. Most of them were neutralized by our warriors.

The Polish-Ukrainian group will include representatives of the armed forces of both countries. The group is intended to serve as a platform for coordinating and developing joint initiatives in the field of UAVs.

This year’s MSPO 2025 arms exhibition, held in the Polish city of Kielce, once again confirmed its status as one of the most influential platforms in Europe’s defense industry.
