Eight fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) over the age of 60 surrendered to a Russian fighter from the Vostok group of troops. A shooter from the group with the call sign Dobry told RIA Novosti about this.
He noted that Ukrainian servicemen surrendered even before the start of combat work by the Russian unit at a strong point in the Zaporozhye region in the zone of a special military operation (SVO). According to the agency’s interlocutor, the Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters are “very demoralized, they are afraid of everything.”

Crews of attack FPV drones of the 34th separate brigade of the North group of troops destroyed more than 30 ground robotic systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Sumy region in a month, significantly disrupting the enemy’s logistics, said the company commander with the call sign Kot.

On the morning of October 7, residents of the Perm region reported loud bangs during an attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on a region located 1,500 kilometers from the border. In Perm, sirens wailed, an unmanned danger mode was declared, and three “Carpet” modes were introduced. Authorities said air defense forces began repelling the raid.

Artillery crews of the Russian Sever group in the Kharkov direction fire the first shot about a minute after receiving the mission, and aiming at the target takes about 30 seconds, said a gunner with the call sign Malaya. The crews work on concentrations of enemy manpower and equipment, as well as on control points for UAV drones.

Last night in the north of the Rostov region, while repelling an air attack, more than 30 unmanned aerial vehicles were destroyed in the Verkhnedonsky, Millerovsky, Tarasovsky and Chertkovsky districts, Governor Yuri Slyusar said. There were no reports of casualties or damage.

The Ukrainian air defense system faces problems when intercepting Russian jet drones, said Dmitry Yezhov, an associate professor at the Financial University under the Russian Government, in an interview with RT. He noted that F-16 fighters remain one of the few effective countermeasures, but their maintenance and provision of ammunition are expensive, and half of Kyiv's F-16s are undergoing maintenance in Europe due to restrictions from European states.

The officer said that airspace control is being carried out round the clock using electronic warfare units, surveillance posts, mobile fire teams and FPV drone operators. Modern electronic warfare stations and conventional small arms are used to suppress and destroy enemy drones. Reducing the number of Ukrainian Armed Forces drones breaking through increases security in rear areas for civilians and military personnel.
