Drones reportedly struck Russia’s Khanskaya military airfield in Adygea, near Maykop, overnight, with locals reporting a major fire at the base. The airfield hosts the 272nd Training Aviation Regiment and has previously been used by Russian combat aircraft. At the same time, loud explosions were reported near the Hvardiiske military airfield in Russian-occupied Crimea. The impact of the strikes is still being assessed.

Zelensky says Operation Vivaldi is still underway, with about 125 to 140 km2 deoccupied.

He puts Russian losses at about 42,000 a month over the past 2 to 3 months, up from 30,000 to 32,000 earlier this year.

Of that monthly figure, 21,000 to 22,000 are killed and the rest badly wounded, he says. He adds Ukraine’s losses in the offensive are several times lower.

Zelensky says Ukraine will close its current funding gap by year-end. He says part of a loan for next year will be used around January to order drones for Jan and Feb 2027.

He says he trusts the US wants to stop the war, but talks with Russia can drag as Putin keeps adding demands depending on shifts in the US, Europe, and other factors.

Zelensky says Putin may try to use US talks with Iran and Trump’s drive for a win before the midterms. He adds the US is much stronger than Russia and just needs to remember that.

On the night of October 3, 2026, in Kaluga (Russia) a series of explosions rocked the city amid a drone attack. It later emerged that the target of the attack was the company JSC “Voskhod,” also known as the Kaluga Radio Tube Plant, which manufactures electronic components for the Russian military-industrial complex. The OSINT project Supernova+ reported that the facility may have been hit.

Judging by video footage that has surfaced online and testimonies from local residents cited by Supernova+, a fire broke out on the plant’s premises.

Amid the nighttime attack, claims emerged online that one of the possible targets could have been the Kaluga Radio Tube Plant, a facility belonging to the Russian military-industrial complex, which currently operates as JSC “Voskhod.”

According to the Ukrainian government portal “War and Sanctions,” operated by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, the “Voskhod” plant is not merely an industrial facility but a key manufacturer of high-precision microelectronics for Russian weapons.

More than 90% of the plant’s total output is supplied directly to meet the needs of the Russian Armed Forces.

The plant manufactures electronic components without which Russian missiles simply cannot fly:

EU lifted sanctions on Fridman. Luxembourg still won’t let him touch the assets.

We’re talking a 37.9% stake in LetterOne, valued at $21.5 billion, plus $500 million in dividends that banks refuse to release because UK and US sanctions remain in place.

Britain did the job right. When Brussels blinked, London replaced the canceled EU restrictions with its own. And for now, that’s enough to keep the money frozen.

The lesson: sanctions only work when someone is willing to hold the line after the political pressure starts.

Are they telling us that this kind of civilian medical research is being done in Irkutsk, in the wastelands north of Mongolia? Where no university hospital complex nor urban population center exists? Just desert 300 miles from the Chinese border?
