Situation at the front
In the Kharkov direction , Russian troops are trying to advance in Volchansk and in the outskirts of the city .
“Voenkor” Yuri Kotenok claims that the Russian Armed Forces are advancing in Volchansk and adjacent forests, where, as a result of fierce oncoming battles, the Russians advanced 500 and 300 m, respectively.
In the Liman direction , the Russian Armed Forces are advancing near Shandrigolov to the north-west of Liman (until 2016 - Krasny Liman) .
DeepStateshared a video of the 66th Mechanized Infantry Brigade with “skids” on the Russian military in occupied Novy on the right bank of the Zherebets River. It is noted that the Russian fighter was noticed when he went to a local resident for food, but they did not immediately drop the ammunition, but tracked him to a shelter. In addition, the project reported on the advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the Shandrigolov area.

In the Bakhmut direction, the use of APU wheeled and tracked vehicles becomes impossible due to Russian drones .
A Russian military man, the author of the Telegram channel “Temny” , says that Russian drone operators managed to reduce the presence of wheeled and tracked vehicles in the southern part of Konstantinovka. Now the Ukrainian military moves there on foot, and uses drones, including ground-based ones, for logistics. Nevertheless, as Temny says, the SOU continue to send small infantry groups to the front line, which they regularly hit with the help of UAVs , identifying their shelters at the points where supplies are dropped from Ukrainian drones.
In the southern Donetsk direction , the Russian Armed Forces are trying to cut off the logistics routes of the SOU to cover Gulyai-Polye .
DeepState reported ( 1 , 2 ) about the occupation of Olgovskoye, Berezovoye and Kalinovskoye, as well as the advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the area of Novoivanovka, Voronoye and Verbovoye. Analysts also share footage of “skids” and FPV drone strikes in Zelenyi Gai in the Donetsk region performed by the 214th separate assault battalion of OPFOR and say that Russian infantry is constantly trying to gain a foothold in the populated area for further advance to Ivanovka in the Dnepropetrovsk region, but SOU fighters regularly clear it.
The 110th Mechanized Infantry Brigade denied information from the Voin DV Z-channel, which is close to the Russian Vostok group of troops, which previously announced the loss of Verbovoy and published a video of a “flag attack” in a populated area. In the channel, the brigade published footage of “skids” on the enemy and a Ukrainian “flag shooter” in a populated area, and also accused DeepState, where they also announced the occupation of Verbovoy, of working for the Russian IPSO . The “Warrior DV” channel, in turn, stated that the group of SOU fighters who carried out the “flag attack” was destroyed, and published another video as proof (it is worth noting that it does not have any distinctive features of the terrain that could allow it to be geolocated).

Yuri Kotenok reports on the advance of the Russian Armed Forces to Gulyai-Polye. In particular, according to his information, the Russian military started fighting for Novogrigorovka and took the only logistics route to the village under “fire control” , and also gained a foothold in the eastern part of Pavlovka. Counterattacks by the SOU in the direction, according to the military correspondent, are not successful.
The Ukrainian resource “Eye of Horus ✙ News and Analytics” calculated, based on reports from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, that the Russian Aerospace Forces launched 3989 FABs with UMPC in September 2025, which is 9% less than in August. The author of the channel notes that in recent months, about 4,150 aerial bombs have been used per month and believes that this is a comfortable indicator at which the wear and tear of the carriers, the Su-34 fighter-bombers, is compensated by new production.
DeepState drew attention to Vladimir Putin’s statement about the control of the Russian Armed Forces over 99.87% of the Lugansk region. In fact, analysts say, Russian troops control 99.64% of the region, and three years ago, on October 1, 2022, they controlled 99.02%.
Mutual shelling and sabotage
The Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported a raid on the night of October 3 of 416 air attack weapons, of which 381 drones of the Shahed type and other unspecified types (303 were shot down or suppressed), seven Iskander-M / KN-23 ballistic missiles (no interception was reported), 21 Iskander-K cruise missiles (12 shot down) and seven aircraft guided missiles Kh-59/69 (five shot down). 18 missile hits and 78 UAVs were recorded in 15 locations, as well as falling debris in six locations.

The drones attacked the Azot plant, a branch of JSC UCC Uralchem, in Berezniki in the Perm Territory on the night of October 3 ( geolocation ). Governor Dmitry Makhonin reported that there was a “short-term stop in the technological cycle” at the enterprise. According to him, by morning Azot had restored its operation to “normal mode”; There are no threats to the environmental situation and the safety of residents. As a result of the UAV raid, a residential building was also damaged, but there were no casualties. It is noteworthy that the enterprise announced an explosion of a refrigerator, but the Russian Ministry of Defense did not report a drone raid on the Perm Territory.

Localized Russian versions are called “Geran-1”, “Geran-2” and “Geran-3” (reactive modification) and are produced at the site of the Alabuga SEZ in Tatarstan. The flight range of a Geranium-type drone is up to 2.5 thousand km, the mass of the warhead is up to 90 kg (according to some sources, the increased warhead reaches 300 kg).

The word is borrowed from the jargon of space exploration enthusiasts and originally meant a limited interplanetary manned mission with no serious scientific objectives.
FPV drones are drones that are controlled by an operator in the first person ( First Person View ). The advantage of such systems is that the operator clearly sees where the drone is flying (most often a kamikaze), which allows, for example, to fly into shelters and hit individual unprotected elements of military equipment.
