1. The Sky Wars unit of the 47th OMBR Magura controls the sky in the Kursk and North Slobozhansky directions and effectively shoots down expensive enemy drones while they are still approaching.

In 10 days, 33 daytime and nighttime shootdowns of 13 Zala Lancet z51, 12 Zala-z16, 2 Supercams and 2 Gerber Uav's.

2. Many downed FPV drones remain on the ground. Leaving such “gifts” is extremely dangerous, since an unexploded ordnance can detonate at any moment.

The soldiers of the artillery division Thunder are destroying the enemy drones with small arms fire.

3. From the Sicario archive from last year precision strikes on enemy armor.

4/5/6. Apachi FPV Strike Group searching an ddestroying the enemy and their equipment around the clock.

7. Enemy fighter hiding around the corner inside a destroyed building surprised by drone and dies.

8. Invader uses a sidecar to move into foreign territory and dies.

9. Multiple enemy fighters surprised by drones and some don't even try to escape anymore.

10. Hit and burnt by drone.

11. Black Raven of the 93rd OMBR Kholodnyi Yar hit over 1,100 unique targets in October, (incl. 577 fighters).

12. Ukrainian marine forces used multiple kamikaze drones to destroy approx. 10 boats with enemy landing forces in the Kherson region.

I still don’t understand why Ukraine uses 2-3 drones just to kill 1 guy.

Imagine the thousands of soldiers going back to Russia with missing legs and arms, the public perception of the special military operation would change. But instead Ukraine wastes 2-3 drones to kill someone who will then be considered a hero instead Russia, instead of a homeless, maimed veteran.

Your comment completely ignores that fact that leaving a single soldier alive allows that soldier to regroup with others in the future for future attacks, murdering of civilians, murdering of Ukrainian Infantry. Remember, No Russian.

"We have two categories: hit and destroyed," Volodia told us. "So a different amount of e-points goes to the different categories."

It turns out that encouraging a Russian soldier to surrender is worth more points than killing one – a prisoner of war can always be used in future deals over prisoner exchanges.

"If for one… killed Russian you get one point," Volodia said, "if you capture him you multiply it by 10."

Volodia's team analyses thousands of hits every day.

"The hardest part is artillery," he said, showing us a video of a drone navigating expertly through the trees and into a trench where a gun is concealed.

"The Russians are very good at hiding and digging."

As Russia's tactics have evolved, so too has the e-points system.

Moscow's increased use of small, probing units, on foot or riding motorbikes, means that the value of an individual soldier has risen, relative to a tank or other armoured vehicle.

"Whereas previously the killing of an enemy soldier earned 2 points," the Brave 1 statement read, "now it earns 6."

And enemy drone operators are always more valuable than the drones themselves.

The system of rewards is being refined too.

Until now, units have been able to convert their points into cash, which many have used, along with crowd sourcing, to purchase badly needed extra equipment.

Now the e-points system is being directly integrated into something called the Brave 1 Market, which designers describe as "the Amazon for war".

Soldiers can browse more than 1,600 products, use their accumulated points, purchase items directly from manufacturers and leave reviews, with the Ministry of Defence picking up the tab afterwards.

Brave 1 Market is designed to sit alongside traditional, cumbersome military procurement, rather than replace it.

The hope is that units will have quicker access to preferred items, from drones to components and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) that can evacuate wounded soldiers from dangerous frontline positions.

1. Ukraine's Navy released video footage on November 3, 2025, depicting a successful drone strike against russian forces on the occupied Sivash drilling platform in the Black Sea.

The operation targeted special forces operating surveillance and reconnaissance assets from the rig, which russia seized during its 2014 annexation of Crimea.

A kamikaze drone eliminated a russian anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) crew and destroyed critical surveillance equipment, while the platform's structure sustained severe damage, impairing its role as a forward observation post for Russian naval operations.

At least the ATGM crew was neutralized, though exact casualties remain unconfirmed by Kyiv.

Moscow claimed to have downed a Ukrainian boat with a Lancet drone, but Ukrainian sources confirmed the strike used only unmanned aerial assets.

As part of the Chornomornaftogaz network, the Sivash rig supports russian monitoring of Ukrainian maritime movements.

2/3. Multiple Ukrainian drones struck the Lukoil-owned Kstovo oil refinery, sparking fires at the facility.

The Federal Air Transport Agency has closed the local airport. Airports in Volgograd, Tambov, Penza, Saratov, and Samara are also shuttered.

4/5/6/7. Thick black smoke billowed and multiple fires raged early on November 4, 2025, after Ukrainian drone strikes targeted the Sterlitamak Petrochemical Plant (JSC SNHZ) in Russia's Republic of Bashkortostan—roughly 930 miles east of Ukraine's border.

8. Ukraine’s latest wave of drone strikes has hit one of russia’s key Black Sea energy hubs, with two tankers and parts of the Rosneft-operated Tuapse oil terminal suffering damage over the weekend.

Regional authorities in Krasnodar Krai confirmed that two merchant ships — both foreign-flagged — were damaged in the attack, which set off large fires at berths 1A and 1B of the deepwater terminal.

Ambrey, a UK-based maritime security consultancy, said satellite imagery and footage showed at least two tankers on fire at the port.

The Tuapse facility, one of russia’s main crude export outlets on the Black Sea, has been a repeated target of Ukrainian drones this year. The refinery and terminal complex has a processing capacity of 240,000 barrels per day.

The Regional Operational Headquarters said there were no casualties and that all fires were extinguished by Sunday morning, though the terminal’s infrastructure had sustained significant damage.

Kyiv’s security service claimed responsibility for the strike, saying it had recorded five drone hits on the terminal, damaging loading facilities.

Bashkortostan head Radiy Khabirov confirmed the incident as a "terrorist attack" by two Ukrainian UAVs, both downed by russia's Defense Ministry and the plant's security team.

Debris landed in an industrial zone near an auxiliary workshop, causing no casualties; operations continue normally.

Security footage captured at least two blasts in Sterlitamak—at 6:22 a.m. and 7:09 a.m. local time—aligning with resident reports of explosions and an air raid alert.

Eyewitness videos showed bright flashes and heavy smoke from multiple sources.

9. Ukrainian forces struck an ammunition depot in russian-occupied Dovzhansk, Luhansk region, in Ukraine. A large fire including lots of secondary explosions occured.

10. The 4th Security Battalion of the 101st Separate Security Brigade of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kostyantynivka direction, Donetsk region tells that the situation in this direction has become extremely difficult.

The enemy does not abandon its intentions to occupy the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration. However, the Defense Forces of Ukraine bravely defend their native land.

Footage shows the precise work of the UAV operators of the 4th Security Battalion. Destruction of enemy infantry, armored vehicles and MLRS (an extremely rare Type-75 unit provided to the enemy by their North Korean allies).

11. The 92N6E radar from S-400 and the autonomous power supply system equipment of the S-400 command post were destroyed in Crimea.

Also hit were the aerodrome surveillance radar “AORL-1AS” and the P-18 “Terek” radar.
