Ukrainian Capital Struck by Ukrainian Air Defences
An inhabitant of the Ukrainian capital published on Twitter the shrapnel of the obsolete 9H314 warhead from the 9M38 anti-aircraft guided missile for the AFU Buk 9K37, found near the Samsung Corporation office in Kiev, next to which the missile exploded on October 10. The warheads in the 9H314 missile have the characteristic shape of a parallelepiped and a similar size.
Thus, it is safe to say that it was a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile from the Buk SAM system that hit near the building of the Samsung office in Kiev, due to operator error or malfunction.
This is not the first time Ukrainian Buks have fired on civilian infrastructure. On February 26, a Buk 9M38 missile also hit a high-rise building in Zhulyany, and then Klitschko himself "boasted" about its warhead strike elements.
On August 29, a similar Buk missile struck the Ingul bridge in Nikolaev, which was confirmed by the publication of its targets by the Ukrainian military.

Thoughts on the SMO, the Ukrainian counteroffensive, and the events after Crimea (by Visionaire)—PART I (1/2)
After six months of steady Russian advances on Ukraine, in September, Ukraine managed to pull off its expected counter-offensive operation. Its goal was to push the allied forces out of occupied areas all along the front. Now, a month later, let us review the situation on the ground from a combined political, economic, and military perspective, in order to assess the situation as we are moving towards the winter season.
By the end of August, the allied forces had captured approximately 20% of Ukrainian territory, including major cities such as Kherson (290k), Melitopol (150k), Berdyansk (110k), Mariupol (450k), Severdonetsk (100k), Lysychansk (100k), Izium (50k). Huge parts of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, Zaporizhia, and Kharkiv oblasts came under Russian control. These areas comprise a significant part of Ukraine’s economy, since we are talking about human resources, major industrial sites, ports, logistic hubs, mineral deposits, and so on. Those rapid gains brought euphoria to the Allies as the special military operation was moving forward without much hindrance. But with the rapid territorial expansion new problems would soon arise. The frontline would eventually span a more than a thousand-kilometer line, which the limited Russian military grouping would not be able to defend.
From the beginning of the conflict it became obvious that Russian hopes of a quick victory over Ukraine were impossible, partly due to a lack of commitment and tactical/strategic blunders and miscalculations, but mostly due to the West’s position on the Ukrainian crisis. We first witnessed this after the failed diplomatic efforts in Constantinople, where some basic agreement was made but never implemented by Ukraine since the backers of the Kiev regime found it unacceptable. Zelensky was told to prepare for total war and was promised virtually unlimited support, financially and militarily. By the time Mariupol fell in May, it was obvious that if Ukraine wasn’t immediately assisted, it would fall and a decisive victory for Russia would be possible. At this point, we notice a huge increase in military equipment supplied to Ukraine, inflows of mercenaries and specialists from NATO countries as well as multiple waves of mobilization.
Moscow’s response to the growing aggressiveness of the West has been non-existent until recently. The lack of strategic foresight was not obvious until it was too late. The Allied forces continued the offensive during summer, making slow and steady gains. Meanwhile, Ukraine was able to hold the line while preparing reserves, and ammunition stockpiles, training new units and reinforcing decimated ones, getting accustomed to western weapons, and studying the fronts in preparation for their assault. The lack of targeting logistics and energy infrastructure allowed Ukraine to get ready without any serious issues, despite widespread corruption, economic decline, and low morale brought by defeat after defeat on the battlefield. Kiev’s lifeline had been established and Moscow did nothing to hinder it, for reasons we will delve into deeper at another time.

Thoughts on the SMO, the Ukrainian counteroffensive, and the events after Crimea (by Visionaire)—PART I (2/2)
Long story short, after a relatively quiet August, Ukraine attacked on the Kharkiv front with forces numerically superior both in terms of manpower and equipment. Despite their obsolete and costly tactics, the impossibility for Russia to hold the frontline against the opponent was evident.
Allied forces withdrew in an orderly manner, suffering minimal casualties and equipment losses. The truth of this statement can be found on the Ukrainian and western propaganda channels, where there were just few posts with visual confirmation of destroyed/captured personnel and equipment. It has become a habit for the information warriors on Kiev’s side to post every dead Russian, every prisoner, every vehicle, and even small arms captured, and trust me, they are but a minuscule portion of the relevant footage we have seen from the Russian side.
Still, with the backing of West’s media giants, the field of information warfare is definitely dominated by pro-Ukraine elements. It was rather easy to portray minor tactical victories of minimal strategic importance (with the exception of Izium maybe) as grand victories. But in reality, PR victories are just helping people to cope, create consent or gain more external support, things that rarely shape the conditions on the battlefield.
A good example would be Lyman, a town of around 20 thousand people which was under siege for three weeks. The way I read the facts, three weeks of demilitarization and denazification was a good price for it. Territories can and usually tend to change hands a lot of times during conflicts, but dead men can’t fight, blown ammunition can’t kill, and destroyed armor can’t be replaced on a whim.
Remember, all this stuff required to wage war is finite, and with the growing strain on Ukraine’s and the West’s industries, things are only bound to get worse. At some point we should make an estimate of how much money and lethal aid has been poured into the Ukrainian black hole, and if the payback was proportional. But we already know the answer to this last question, don’t we?
In the next parts, we are going to look into the way Moscow handled the situation, the critical events that shaped and forced the special military operation to evolve, and its prospects.

The Biden administration says it is reviewing relations with Saudi Arabia because of Saudi's agreement with Russia to cut oil production under OPEC +, which was a very serious blow to both the United States and the Biden administration.
The US Congress is already discussing with might and main the possibility of depriving Saudi Arabia of the status of an ally of the United States, stopping the supply of new weapons and even withdrawing troops.
It is important to understand that Saudi Arabia has problems with the Democrats. In the event that the Republicans come to power, everything can change, since the royal house of Saud has always been closely associated with the Republican establishment.
But if you look at what we have now, it can be noted that the Russian Federation, by its actions, has achieved the fact that one of the most indestructible "alliances" in the Persian Gulf, which has existed for decades, has cracked.
This is to the question of how rapidly the recently familiar and unshakable world order is being transformed. Russia is certainly not an observer here, but one of the actors of the ongoing changes. The United States, trying to maintain the old world order, is increasingly watching how it flows like sand through clenched fingers.

SLG OSINT Unit (TJ) comments on the Russian strikes Against Ukrainian targets over the past several days:
I would like to emphasize and elaborate the point made about civilian casualties. The level of accuracy of the strikes proved Russia's level of sophisticated weaponry in that the missiles fired were in some cases from warships in the Black sea, which is 833km away from Kiev.
This is critical in the assessment, as one degree or even minutes of a degree out over that distance would result in the missile missing the target by kilometres, never mind metres off target.

@Rybar Comments on the Need for Escalation of Strikes
We saw the answer this afternoon from the announcements of new air defence equipment deliveries to Ukraine. The German IRIS-T has already arrived (https://t.iss.one/rybar/40064) and NASAMS is expected soon.
So, while the Ukrainian command has not had time to qualitatively reinforce the air defences, it is time to move on to priority targets, such as the 750kV substations which we discussed in detail with RT (https://t.iss.one/rybar/40035) earlier.

Commentary on the Middle-Eastern Dimension of the Global Crisis (by Tim Jeanes)
Middle East Eye: US lawmakers slam OPEC+ oil cuts, threaten to withdraw military support for Saudi Arabia. Democratic lawmakers say the OPEC+ decision is a 'slap in the face' to the US, introducing a bill to end Washington's support to Saudi Arabia and UAE.
Potentially if the US follows through with its statement made, that could either create an opportunity for Saudi's enemies to strike, or it could go the other way and push them together.
I doubt that Saudi Arabia's enemies would use that opportunity to attack them as in reality we have the Middle East split by two Islamic Religious groups, namely Shia and Sunni.
The main split of these group areas is as follows:
SUNNI Countries surrounding the Middle East: UAE (85% Sunni), Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tahikistan, Turkey, and Uzbekistan.
SHIA Countries: Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan, and Bahrain.
Yemen consists primarily of two principal Islamic religious groups: 65% of the Muslim population is Sunni Muslim and around 35% is Zaydi Shia; however, they still have bad blood with the Saudis in view of the recent attacks.
Taking these odds into account, I doubt if the latter will seize that opportunity, and, if so, that would give Israel the window of opportunity to strike Iran. (The question needs to be asked if this is part of the American plan?)
Furthermore, OPEC+ support for Russia creates a huge geopolitical advantage for Russia to offer Saudi Arabia and UAE. This would include Russian-made air defence systems to make up for what the US has threatened to withdraw; however, that would only happen if there is a complete split from the US with no US bases and such within those two countries, failing which the US would become privy to the operations of Russian air defence systems.
Bear in mind that we are going through a huge geopolitical shift and a change to the Unipolar Order that we currently have, where the US is the one state that enjoys a preponderance of power and faces no competitor states in the conditions of international anarchy.
The bottom line here is that this potential threat could either create a massive Middle Eastern conflict or could strengthen Russia and China’s goal of achieving a Multipolar World.

#YURI Russians counterattack near Liman, pushing back the enemy away from Kremennaya to Terny-Torskoye line. If they manage to hold these strategic settlements, the third battle for Liman, with roles reversed, may happen. Wagner men enter south-eastern parts of Bakhmut. Attacks near Donetsk towards Pervomayskoye continue to reach the third line of defence of Avdeyevka and threaten its supply routes. No active actions of the enemy in Zaporozhye or Kherson, but a large-scale enemy offensive is possible in the comming days.
Missile stike on Ukraines power grid continue with the same intensity as yesterday. The countdown to a complete energetic collapse is estimated by the Ukrainian side as 7-10 days (if the strikes continue). Yuri considers that it may happen in much faster, subject to the same condition.

The Virtues of Digesting Strategic SMO Updates With Grains of Salt
Russian troops are reported to have rushed to take up positions at the Zherebets River line west of Kremennaya. Preliminary information suggests that Novosadovoye, Terny and Torskoye have been liberated, and fighting continues near Yampolovka and Kreminna Forest.
To understand the processes in the Svatovo-Kremennaya direction, let's recall the prehistory of the current fighting - namely the Kharkov region tragedy of September 6-10. Let's run through my notes:
On September 7, everyone writes about the prospect of the Izyum cauldron because of the cutting off of the road to Izyum from the north. However, they are wrong: "In the most catastrophic scenario Izyum grouping will not be surrounded, they have an opportunity to manoeuvre to the left bank of Oskol (that's where Sviatogorsk is located)." The regrouping is still a few days away, but it happened exactly as I said.
Also on September 7, a member of the OPSB gives information that all is not well on the left bank of Oskol. In particular, the 35th Army had taken with them the pontoon across the Seversky Donets during the regrouping and the adjoining forces didn't have theirs. Bad suspicions began to creep in.
On September 8, the situation worsens. Rybar gives information about the concentration of the AFU in the Izyum direction. "It also appears that an attack on the Krasny Liman district of the DPR is being prepared. The enemy has moved DRGs [Diversionary-Reconnaissance Groups] south of Krasny Liman and Yampol, as well as pontoon-engineering units to Raigorodok."
September 9: "A deeper breakthrough on the left bank of the Oskol, is impossible without a supporting strike from Slavyansk and Seversk to Izyum and Krasny Liman respectively." While Bezsonov will be claiming that the strike force that attempted to break into Liman from Seversk was defeated on September 7, the Khokhols will be finalising preparations to traverse the Seversky Donets river near Krasny Liman and Sviatogorsk. This will take place on the 10th.
The night of September 10: "A new problem has emerged in the form of an attempt to force the Seversky Donets in the direction of the DPR's Krasnolimansky district. As the evening haggle said, they can do this only tonight." That is exactly what will happen.
At that time, all sorts of military co-rat-spondents will be feeding you information about the reserves arriving and entering the battle.
The evening of 10 September: "The mobilised units holding Red Liman as of 16.30 this afternoon are literal heroes." This is due in part to the fact that our media had managed to surrender Krasny Liman. The media was wrong.
So, let us summarize: starting from September 7, i.e. the second day of the Ukrainian offensive, the strategic importance of Oskol for the Izyum grouping was obvious. And, consequently, the threat to the Krasny Liman district.
This was written about repeatedly until the moment when the 16th BARS battalion engaged in unequal combat with the superior enemy forces, giving time for our army to prepare the lines for defence.
The end of the first part, in the second we will see when Svatovo was first mentioned and how the fighting in the Krasnolimansk district was treated.

Night exclusive.
The work of military personnel of the Armed Forces in the Kherson direction on the equipment and infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which attempted to conduct reconnaissance in force.
The shots were fired, including from anti-tank systems and RPGs. After getting into the M113, in which there were 14 people, part of the Ukrainian military retreats to the forest belt, while the rest are trying to help their 300th, followed by a second arrival by transport.

Today, there are fewer photos and videos of the consequences of the strikes than yesterday due to regular threats from the SBU, which threatens with criminal prosecution those citizens of Ukraine who will publish footage of Russian strikes and their consequences.
Thus, in Ukraine they are trying to extinguish the growing panic and construct cheap tales about the "high efficiency of Ukrainian air defense", which for some reason turned out to be unable to cover the key energy facilities of Ukraine.

Сегодня фото и видео последствий ударов меньше чем вчера по причине очередных угроз от СБУ, которая угрожает уголовным преследованием тем гражданам Украины, которые будут публиковать кадры российских ударов и их последствия.
Таким образом на Украине пытаются…

Samsung's building in Kyiv was hit by a Kyiv Army Buk anti-aircraft missile that missed a Russian cruise missile. This happens regularly, both in Ukraine, Syria, Israel and elsewhere: using SAMs over cities exposes you to these problems.
