Ukraine War Video: Ukraine War Video collects unc - The Chronicles

Operators of the 1st Separate Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces carried out mid-range strikes against enemy targets on temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. In Donetsk Oblast, a command post and a deployment site of special forces from Russia’s 14th GRU Brigade, as well as warehouses and a military vehicle repair base, were hit. Additionally, a Nebo radar station and a deployment area of high-speed landing craft of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet were struck in temporarily occupied Crimea.

This is archived footage from a special operation conducted in late October 2025 on the Pokrovsk axis by fighters of the Black Winter Group, part of Tymur’s Special Unit of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR). During the mission, several special forces groups were airlifted by Black Hawk helicopters and landed on the western outskirts of Pokrovsk, dispersing across the industrial zone. “We managed to gain precious time so that the main units of the Armed Forces could approach the city with reinforcements. After that, everyone stopped saying the city had been taken,” said HUR Chief Kyrylo Budanov, commenting on the operation.

Ukraine’s SBU revealed that before striking a Russian Kilo-class submarine in Novorossiysk, it disabled the Il-38N “Sea Dragon” maritime reconnaissance aircraft at Yeysk air base. This $24M aircraft was Russia’s only asset in the Black Sea capable of detecting the underwater drone Sub Sea Baby. After losing aerial surveillance, Russian forces failed to spot the drone, which entered the harbor undetected and successfully destroyed the submarine.

During a nighttime operation in Lipetsk, Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR), together with the resistance movement, destroyed two Russian fighter jets — a Su-30 and a Su-27. The aircraft were set ablaze inside a hangar, inflicting estimated losses of around $100 million on Russian forces. The operation was carried out without casualties on the Ukrainian side.

For the first time, Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) carried out an attack on a Russian “shadow fleet” tanker in neutral waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The Alpha special unit hit the empty tanker QENDIL using drones. The vessel was reportedly used to bypass international sanctions and finance Russia’s war efforts. As a result of the strike, the tanker sustained critical damage and is no longer operational.

The explosion caused critical damage, effectively putting the submarine out of action. A Varshavyanka-class submarine is valued at approximately $400 million. The submarine carried four launchers for Kalibr cruise missiles, which Russia uses to strike targets across Ukraine. The strike was a joint operation by the SBU’s 13th Main Directorate of Military Counterintelligence and the Ukrainian Navy. Due to international sanctions, building a similar submarine today could cost up to $500 million. This class is also known as the “Black Hole” because its hull absorbs sound and remains difficult to detect by sonar. The damaged submarine had been forced to stay in the port of Novorossiysk following successful operations by Sea Baby surface naval drones, which pushed Russian ships and submarines out of Sevastopol Bay in occupied Crimea.

A Ukrainian serviceman engaged in a small-arms firefight and eliminated two Russian assault troops on the Lyman axis in the Donetsk region.

According to our sources, SBU Sea Baby naval drones struck the Russian “shadow fleet” tanker Dashan in the Black Sea. The joint operation by the SBU’s 13th Directorate and the Ukrainian Navy caused critical damage: powerful explosions hit the stern, and the vessel was reportedly left disabled. The tanker, valued at about $30 million, typically transported up to $60 million worth of oil products per voyage. Due to carrying Russian crude with its identification systems turned off, Dashan had previously been sanctioned by the EU, UK, Canada, Australia, and Switzerland.

Operators of “Shershni Dovbusha” 🐻 from the 68th Jaeger Brigade targeted and struck a Russian mechanized column in the northwestern part of Pokrovsk. Footage shows that Russian forces are now fully deploying heavy armored vehicles inside the city, but Ukrainian drone units continue to disrupt and destroy their movements.

In Rodynske, the “Chervona Kalyna” tank struck a five-story building used by Russian troops as a hideout. The “Wolf Pack” tank crew methodically dismantled the structure, knowing a dozen occupiers were inside. As expected, the 72nd brigade’s crew left them no chance of survival.
