Update from Ukraine | Outstanding! Vivaldi Opeartion Phase 2 | Russians Run Away in Panic
Denys Davydov
Ukrainske styrker fra det tredje armékorps fortsætter Vivaldi-modangrebsoperationens fase 2 i Leman-retningen, hvor flere landsbyer, herunder det vigtige knudepunkt Shadriel, er blevet befriet. Russerne blev skubbet tilbage bag Jeretsz-floden, og tabte store mængder territorium, som de besatte for ca. to år siden. Den 25. russiske armé er svækket efter at have mistet sin general, og koordinationen mellem de russiske hære er dårlig, hvilket har bidraget til det ukrainske modangrebs succes. Ukraine benytter avancerede droner, elektronisk krigsførelse og artilleri til at forstyrre russisk logistik og minimere egne tab, inden infanteriet rykker frem.

Big Drone Strike on Perm Oil Refinery! 1,500km from Ukraine!
Suchomimus
Ukraine har endnu engang ramt olieraffinaderiet i Perm med droner, hvilket har forårsaget en omfattende brand, særligt i EVT-5-rådestillationsenheden – den vigtigste del for raffinering af råolie. Raffinaderiet, der er et af Ruslands største og kan forarbejde over 13 millioner tons råolie årligt, ligger over 1.500 km fra den ukrainske grænse, hvilket gør angrebet til et bemærkelsesværdigt langtrækkende strejke. Et tidligere angreb i marts 2026 blev af eksperter vurderet til at have ødelagt omkring 80% af raffineringskapaciteten, og de aktuelle videoer tyder på, at skaderne denne gang også er betydelige.

Russia Has Lost 45% of Total Refining Capacity
Jake Broe
Ukrainske droner har ramt flere russiske olieraffinaderier, herunder anlæg i Moskva, Samara og Ufa, hvilket har sat 45% af Ruslands samlede olieraffinaderikapacitet ud af drift. Angrebet på Moskva-raffinaderiet ødelagde begge primære destillationsenheder, der tegner sig for 53% af anlæggets kapacitet, og Samara-anlægget blev ramt igen efter allerede at have været angrebet i juni. Ukrainske droner har desuden ramt 300 russiske skibe i Azov- og Sortehavet, hvilket har lammet Ruslands korneksport og tvunget landmænd til at lede efter alternative afsætningsmarkeder. Trump har via tweets opfordret til at stoppe angrebene på russiske olieanlæg, men videoen argumenterer for, at det er Trumps konflikt med Iran – ikke Ukraines angreb – der driver brændstofpriserne op globalt.

Ukraine Launched Deepest Strike on Russia Yet (3,000 km)
Jake Broe
Ukrainske droner satte den 9. september ny rekord ved at ramme to store gaskondensatbehandlingsanlæg – Novi Urangoy og Perovski – i Ruslands autonome region Yamalo-Nenets i det nordlige Sibirien, over 3.000 km fra Ukraine. Samme nat affyrede Ukraine 410 droner mod russiske mål, herunder en flådebase i Novasjisk, en olieterminal og det russiske missilskib Admiral Essen, som angiveligt blev ramt af et Neptun-missil. Ukraine angriber desuden systematisk havneinfrastruktur langs Sortehavskysten og nu også ved Det Kaspiske Hav i Dagestan, hvilket har sat over 90 % af Ruslands korneksportkapacitet i Sortehavsregionen ud af drift siden midten af august. Derudover har ukrainske droner i løbet af to måneder ødelagt 374 energiknudepunkter på Krim og i besatte områder, hvilket efterlader befolkningen uden strøm, vand og internet.

Why a Russian frigate fired warning shots at a British yacht
Anders Puck Nielsen
In this video, Anders Puck Nielsen explains the incident in the English Channel where a Russian frigate fired warning shots at a British sailing yacht, using it as a case study to illustrate how warships handle asymmetric threats. He outlines that warships follow rigid, distance-based standard procedures for self-defense — including radio hailing, horn signals, and escalating warning shots — because they are highly vulnerable and crews must act under extreme time pressure without improvisation. Nielsen argues that at 400-500 meters, the yacht was well within the danger threshold from the warship's perspective, especially since Russia is actively at war and the frigate may have been drifting and unable to maneuver away. He concludes that while the Russian frigate's presence in the Channel is clearly intimidating and not benign, the practical advice for civilians is simply to stay well clear of any Russian warship.

Huge Explosion as Ukraine Hits Fuel/Ammo Storage in Zaporizhzhia
Suchomimus
En ukrainsk spotter-drone opdagede en gruppe russiske køretøjer, der kørte ind i garager ved et brændstof-, smøremiddel- og ammunitionslager nordvest for Melitopol i Zaporizjzja-regionen. Ukraine udførte derefter et droneangreb mod garagerne, hvilket udløste en voldsom kædeeksplosion, der fuldstændig jævnede stedet med jorden. Lageret menes at have skulle forsyne russiske styrker på Zaporizjzja-fronten, hvor Rusland ifølge videoen har gjort få fremskridt det seneste år.

Two More Russian Generals Liquidated by Ukraine
Jake Broe
Ukrainske styrker har angiveligt angrebet det russiske olieraffinaderi Cizron i Samara-oblastet samt flere andre mål, herunder kemiske anlæg og brændstofdepoter på russisk territorium. To russiske generaler er angiveligt blevet likvideret: generalløjtnant Sergej Milchov, kommandør for den 51. armé, som blev dræbt i et missilangreb på sit hovedkvarter, samt generalmajor Anton Grunis, hvis død endnu ikke er officielt bekræftet. Ukraines 3. armékorps har desuden lanceret en offensiv operation kaldet "Vivaldi" nær Leman-fremspringet i Daesque-regionen, hvor russiske styrker angiveligt lider alvorlige tab og er tvunget til at omdirigere forsyninger.

Is Russia preparing to mobilize more soldiers?
Anders Puck Nielsen
Der er i øjeblikket konkrete tegn på, at Rusland forbereder en ny mobiliseringsbølge, herunder øvelser af mobiliseringsprocedurer, mere aggressive rekrutteringstaktikker og en aktiv debat i den russiske elite. Anders Puck Nielsen vurderer, at det mest sandsynlige omfang ville være 200.000-400.000 soldater, og at det sandsynligvis vil ske som en skjult mobilisering efter det russiske Dumavalg i september. Han peger på tre mulige anvendelser af de nye soldater: intensivering af den nuværende frontlinjestrategi i Ukraine, forberedelse til manøvrebaseret krigsførelse (som han anser for usandsynligt), eller en militær udfordring af NATO med henblik på at underminere vestlig støtte til Ukraine. Putin har hidtil undgået mobilisering af frygt for indenlandsk modstand, men den forværrede militære situation gør det stadig sværere at finde alternativer.

Ukraine's drone war is isolating Crimea
Anders Puck Nielsen
Ukraine's drone campaign is increasingly isolating Crimea and Russian forces along the southern front through three distinct layers of drone warfare: a frontline "drone wall" of FPV drones, mid-range tactical strikes targeting logistics 20–150 km behind the front, and deep strategic strikes on Russian war industry up to 2,000 km away. The mid-range strikes have proven particularly effective in the south, where Ukraine has damaged the Kerch Bridge (rendering it impassable for heavy vehicles and trains), knocked out ferry services, targeted ships in the ports of Mariupol and Berdyansk, and turned the M14 highway into what Russian commentators call a "highway of death" littered with destroyed supply trucks. The cumulative effect is a growing fuel and supply shortage in Crimea, which has gone from being a logistics hub to itself needing to be resupplied via the vulnerable land corridor. While a Ukrainian offensive on Crimea remains speculative, the ongoing logistics lockdown is shifting the strategic balance along the southern front.

Update from Ukraine | Big War | Why Russia Stuck in Ukraine but May harm NATO?
Denys Davydov
Russia remains bogged down in Ukraine due to significant military losses, logistical challenges, and strong Ukrainian resistance, preventing a swift victory. However, despite being unable to defeat Ukraine outright, Russia still poses a potential threat to NATO through hybrid warfare tactics, sabotage operations, and escalatory actions along NATO's eastern flank. The video likely analyzes the paradox of Russian military weakness in Ukraine coexisting with its capacity to destabilize or provoke NATO member states. Davydov examines the strategic implications of this dynamic for European security.

Russia’s Election Was Even More Rigged Than You Think
Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
Russia's 2024 presidential election was significantly manipulated to ensure Vladimir Putin's continued grip on power, going beyond typical electoral fraud. The video likely examines statistical anomalies, suppression of opposition candidates, and systemic rigging mechanisms that made the outcome a foregone conclusion. Without genuine competition or independent oversight, the election served more as a political performance than a democratic process.

Drones or tanks? How to spend rising defense budgets
Anders Puck Nielsen
Videoen diskuterer, hvordan vestlige lande bør prioritere deres voksende forsvarsbudgetter i lyset af drone-revolutionen og truslen fra Rusland. Analytikeren argumenterer for, at droner udgør en revolution på linje med opfindelsen af kampvognen, og at de har gjort slagmarken transparent og sænket prisen på ildkraft markant, hvilket favoriserer udmattelseskrig frem for manøvrekrig. Samtidig advares der mod at kassere traditionelle platforme fuldstændigt, da pansrede køretøjer, kampvogne og krigsskibe stadig er nødvendige – både i en potentiel krig med Rusland og til ekspeditionsoperationer verden over. Konklusionen er, at Vesten skal omfavne den nye teknologi og opbygge evnen til hurtigt at skalere produktionen under krig, men samtidig finde den rette balance mellem gammelt og nyt udstyr.

What does the US get out of NATO? — And why Rubio is talking to Trump through the TV
Anders Puck Nielsen
Marco Rubio recently argued that a key U.S. benefit from NATO is the ability to project military power globally through European bases and infrastructure — a benefit he suggested was undermined when countries like Spain denied the U.S. use of those bases during the war with Iran. Anders Puck Nielsen argues that Rubio is not actually addressing Europeans with these statements, but rather making an internal American case for why dismantling the post-WWII alliance system would harm U.S. interests — pushing back against figures like Trump and Vance who frame allies as freeloaders. Nielsen also notes a striking parallel to Russian political communication: just as Kremlin insiders transmit messages to Putin through media appearances rather than direct meetings, Rubio appears to be using TV interviews to reach Trump with policy arguments, suggesting Trump's advisors find it easier — or safer — to influence him through his TV consumption than through face-to-face briefings.

Did a group of Ukrainians blow up Nord Stream?
Anders Puck Nielsen
A Ukrainian citizen has been charged in Germany over the 2022 Nord Stream explosions, and a new book claims a group of Ukrainians carried out the sabotage — but analyst Anders Puck Nielsen argues the case is far from solved. He points to several unexplained operational choices: the attackers chose an unnecessarily deep and difficult dive site that guaranteed maximum publicity and multi-country involvement, used an unsuitable sailing yacht, behaved conspicuously by flying a Ukrainian flag and leaving explosive residue on the boat, yet also executed technically demanding dives. Nielsen also questions the strategic logic — why Zelensky would risk alienating Germany over a pipeline already shut down by Russia, why the Ukrainian government hasn't silenced those allegedly bragging about it, and why Germany itself never seriously confronted Ukraine over the incident. He concludes that Western governments find the "Ukrainian group" narrative convenient, warns that exculpatory evidence pointing elsewhere would likely be suppressed, and urges journalists to demand answers to these gaps before treating the case as closed.

Ukraine Destroys 26 Air Defence Systems in One Week: Buk-M3, Radars, Osa, Tunguska etc
Suchomimus
Ukraine ramte det russiske luftforsvar hårdt i september, idet 26 luftforsvarssystemer blev ødelagt på blot én uge mellem den 10. og 18. september som en del af operation "luftforsvarsfald". Blandt de ramte systemer var Buk-M3 og Buk-M1 missillanchere, Tor-M2, Osa-AKM, en Tunguska selvkørende luftvåbenkanon samt en lang række radarsystemer, herunder tre Nebo-M-radarer og fire Kasta-2E2-radarer. Videoen gennemgår detaljeret ét drone-angreb på en Buk-M3 i Zaporizjzja-regionen, hvor køretøjet blev ramt bagfra og efterfølgende fundet ødelagt i en skyttegrav. Samlet set er 300 russiske luftforsvarssystemer nu bekræftet ramt på 231 dage, hvilket ifølge kanalen har tvunget Rusland til at sætte S-300-systemer ind i en mellemdistancerolle for at kompensere for Buk-tabene.

Why Saudi Arabia Can't Defeat the Houthis
Ryan McBeth
Videoen analyserer, hvorfor Saudi-Arabien ikke har kunnet besejre houthierne i Yemen, og identificerer de grundlæggende svagheder i det saudiske militær. Ifølge Ryan McBeth er Saudi-Arabiens hær en "paladsvagthær", der primært eksisterer for at beskytte monarkiet, hvilket betyder at loyalitet prioriteres over kompetence, og at de mange parallelle styrker (hær, nationalgarde, kongegarde m.fl.) mangler evnen til at koordinere fælles operationer. Derudover peges der på kulturelle udfordringer, herunder at arabiske militærer generelt ikke opfordrer yngre officerer og underofficerer til at tage initiativ, samt på problemer som udstillingsindkøb af avanceret udstyr uden tilstrækkelig logistisk støtte og afhængighed af udenlandske entreprenører. Som løsning foreslår McBeth bl.a., at Saudi-Arabien opretter et nationalt træningscenter inspireret af det amerikanske Fort Irwin og opbygger et professionelt underofficerskorps.
