The American D&M Holding Company constructed an ammunition factory in Ukraine.

The U.S. Department of Defense reported on this.

The company has now completed the construction of a new factory in Ukraine and is ramping up and expanding production.

D&M is not a company that will control the production of ammunition, but is only a builder of the facility.

The enormous Chechen military reserve Ramzan Kadyrov always brags about simply does not exist

During Vladimir Putin’s brief visit to Chechnya on 20 August, Ramzan Kadyrov publicly bragged that he had sent over 40,000 troops to bolster Russian forces fighting in Ukraine, including over 19,000 soldiers who had voluntarily enlisted, before alluding to an enormous military reserve he had on standby that was ready to join the war at a moment’s notice.

Shortly after Putin’s four-hour visit to the North Caucasus republic had drawn to a close, according to sources who spoke to Novaya Gazeta Europe, Chechen Interior Ministry district heads were issued with orders requiring each police station in the republic to deliver a quota of 25 “volunteers” to enlist in Kadyrov’s militia. The move suggests that rather than significant military reserves, all that Kadyrov has permanently ready to deploy is an ability to tell dazzling, barefaced lies to his benefactor, and that he will do everything in his power to avoid mobilisation in Chechnya.

How has Kadyrov managed to maintain the illusion of a mass army of “Chechen foot soldiers” ready to fight for Putin?

U.S. F-35 Fighter Jets Land on NATO Highway in Historic First

This is the first time U.S. F-35s have landed on a highway in Europe.
This week, two fifth-generation F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jets made headlines by successfully landing on a highway in Finland.

First Time Accomplished in Europe
This significant event marks the first time U.S. F-35s have landed on a highway in Europe, part of the larger BAANA 2024 exercise, an annual military training conducted by Finland, according to Ziare.

General James Hecker, commander of U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Africa (USAFE-AFAFRICA), praised the achievement, stating:

"The successful landing of the fifth-generation F-35 on a highway in Europe demonstrates the growing relationship and close interoperability we have with our Finnish allies."

He emphasized that learning from Finnish counterparts enhances the U.S. military's ability to deploy airpower rapidly from unconventional locations, reflecting collective readiness and agility.

Russia’s Uralvagonzavod has shipped a new batch of T-90M Proryv tanks to the Russian army.

The machine-building corporation said that the tanks were equipped with electronic warfare equipment against drones.

The tanks are also equipped with Nakidka radar-absorbent material (RAM) camouflage.

The Nakidka camouflage system is a set of covers made of radio-absorbing material and sections to cover the combat vehicle.

The corporation classifies the number of transferred vehicles.

Russian Drones Breach Belarusian Airspace Again, Amid Night Strike on Ukraine
On the night of September 7, 2024, Belarus experienced an incursion of at least eight Russian drones, according to the monitoring project “Belaruski Hayun.” These drones were launched from Russian territory and included seven Shahed drones and, for the first time, a reconnaissance drone, the Supercam.

The first Shahed drone crossed into Belarus from Ukraine’s Chernihiv region around 11:00 PM, and approximately 40 minutes later, it returned to Ukraine. Several more Shahed drones entered Belarus at different times throughout the night. Meanwhile, at 08:13, data from YeRadar indicated the arrival of the Supercam reconnaissance drone in Belarus.

One of the Shahed drones reached the Grodno region, flying over Korelichi and Novogrudok towards the Lithuanian border. This was the first instance of such an intrusion being monitored. The drone may have traveled approximately 200 km north over Belarus. Its further trajectory remains unknown.

In response to the drone incursions, Belarusian fighters and helicopters were activated throughout the night. Fighters took off from Baranovichi Airport four times, while helicopters from Machulishchi were airborne twice. Aviation activity was noted not only in southern Belarus but also in the northern regions, such as Ostrovets and Vileika, suggesting the presence of multiple drones in the northern part of the country.

Earlier that night, Russia also conducted a drone attack on Ukraine. Reports indicate that 67 drones were detected and tracked, some of which veered off course and headed towards Russia, Belarus, and the temporarily occupied Luhansk region.

The Ukrainian Air Force reported numerous attacks, but most drones were intercepted by air defense systems. In Kyiv and surrounding areas, debris from downed drones caused minor damage to three private houses and fires in grassy areas.

Explosions were also heard in Mykolaiv, Khmelnytskyi, and Vinnytsia regions. Despite the numerous attacks, significant damage or casualties were not reported. In Kyiv, air defenses effectively neutralized all incoming drones, preventing them from reaching their targets.

Ukrainian companies of the IRON Lviv cluster demonstrated their new drones of various types.

Militarnyi’s correspondents visited the demo day of companies that are members of the IRON Lviv Tech Cluster.

“These are not only teams from Lviv, but everyone is working to create solutions for the Ukrainian military,” the correspondents said.

At the event, cluster members demonstrated UAVs and ground drones for various tasks.

The cluster helps to attract investment in the development and procurement of defense products from these companies.

Ukraine has developed a fixed-wing UAV interceptor

^{Interceptor drone by the Ukrainian company Besomar. September 2024. Ukraine. Frame from the Militarnyi’s video}

The Ukrainian company Besomar has developed an interceptor drone to shoot down Russian drones.

Roman Shemechko, a representative of the company, told Militarnyi that the interceptor drone was manufactured at low cost and was already being used in the combat zone.

A “kamikaze interceptor” intercepts Russian drones as they approach.

However, this drone is also capable of conducting reconnaissance missions. It can fly for two and a half hours.

“It’s like a big FPV, like a plane that can stay in the air longer and carry more weight,” Roman Shemechko said.
