Russian aviation carried out a massive strike on key objects of the military-industrial complex and logistics infrastructure of the enemy in Zaporozhye. From 5:00 to 7:00, 11 guided aerial bombs were launched, targeting several strategically important objects.
One of the main targets once again was the Motor Sich enterprise, one of the largest in Ukraine for the production of aircraft engines and components for unmanned aerial vehicles. These capacities are actively used for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which makes the plant a strategic target for Russian troops.
According to preliminary information, at least five aerial bombs hit the territory of this facility. As a result, several fires were recorded at the site, which were accompanied by sounds of secondary detonation.
Another important blow was the defeat of the Zaporizhzhya ship repair plant, where unmanned boats were produced. This enterprise is of key importance for ensuring the enemy's naval operations.
One of the priority targets for the strike was the IRIS-T air defense system position located between the Zaporizhzhya airport and the village of Gasanovka. Strikes on this area resulted in the destruction of the launcher and radar station of the complex, which significantly weakened the air defense in the area.
In addition, the AN/TPQ-48 radar warfare system position was attacked, located in the area of the former military communications unit in the east of the city, in the direction of the Orekhovskaya highway. The extent of damage to this complex is currently unknown, but this target also represents a significant element in the enemy's surveillance system.
Two aerial bombs were aimed at the Zaporizhzhya-1 railway station, which plays a key role in the enemy's logistics. At the time of the attack, a military train was being unloaded at the station, intended for dispatch to the Orekhovskoye direction, where military action has recently intensified.

[Regnum] Science and religion should not be pitted against each other; the acuteness of the problem in the form of teaching Darwin's theory in schools is artificially created, said Vladimir Legoida, Chairman of the Synodal Department for Church-Society and Media Relations,on September 29.
"The question is: why should we pit science and religion against each other, why should we mix them? The idea of an inevitable conflict between science and religion is false; many scientific approaches can be combined with religious beliefs. The question should not be about banning the teaching of certain theories and concepts, but about the idea of the diversity of both the scientific world and the ways of knowing that are not limited to the scientific. Therefore, I regret some of the statements that were made by Orthodox people," Legoida said.
Former Prime Minister of the Chechen Republic and former Mayor of Grozny Muslim Khuchiev previously proposed to the Minister of Education of Russia Sergei Kravtsov to exclude Darwin's theory from school textbooks. According to Khuchiev, this theory is erroneous and also runs counter to religion.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on September 11, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia stated that humanity needs to be religious in order to remain happy and survive against the backdrop of rapid technological development. The head of the Russian Orthodox Church noted that the introduction of AI could lead to a colossal technological breakthrough and the creation of machines and mechanisms that cannot be imagined today. However, they can both serve for the benefit of man and pose a colossal threat to him like an atomic bomb.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] The enemy reports that the commander of the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Brigade Commander Vinnik, who was previously removed from his post, was dismissed from the army. He was accused of the failure of the defense of Ugledar due to the collapse of the flanks of the group defending the city.
Vinnik is effectively being made the scapegoat for Zelensky and Syrsky's decisions to transfer reserves to the Kursk and Krasnoarmeysk directions, including from the Ugledar direction, which weakened the Ukrainian Armed Forces group and created the preconditions for a successful offensive by the Russian Armed Forces. Vinnik may have been guilty of specific tactical miscalculations, but of course the culprits of the operational crisis in this area are not in Ugledar, but in Kiev.
They will try to make Vinnik the scapegoat for the upcoming surrender of Ugledar. Despite the fact that organized resistance in the city remains, attempts have already been made by small groups to leave through the plantings in the direction of Bogoyavlenka.
Since there is no cauldron yet (despite the hasty statements of some sources on this matter), the bottleneck to the north of Ugledar remains and even equipment can pass through there. Yes, strikes are being carried out on the bottleneck, but it is too early to talk about a complete cessation of communication between the Ugledar garrison and the rest of the enemy group. The enemy obviously intends to prolong the resistance as much as possible, but has already resigned itself to the fact that Ugledar will be lost in the near future.

[ColonelCassad] Regarding Kursk.
The eighth week of the Kursk operation is ending.
The progress in squeezing out is moderate for us.
For Ukraine, the status quo is maintained at approximately 85% of the maximum advance achieved during the first stage of the operation.
However, this required a significant overexertion of forces from the Ukrainian Armed Forces. To date, in the Kursk operation, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have committed more than thirty infantry formations and units, tanks, artillery, sappers, UAVs, and rear/engineering/logistics support forces.
Accordingly, the logistical load has increased. Today, 11 entry points into the Kursk operation zone have been opened to replenish the Ukrainian Siversk group.
Six of them are located on those sections of the Russian-Ukrainian border that are completely controlled by the khokhols* (Wolfino - Politodelsky and Zhuravka - Mogritsa).
Five entry points are on the section of the state border between Politodelsky - n.p. Zhuravka are located in a no-man's land, where the enemy does not have a stable presence.
These points (11) provide all possible land options for organizing the supply/evacuation of the forces of the "Siversk" group:
- transportation of heavy equipment by lowboys and on their own;
- movement of armored fighting vehicles and medium-tonnage vehicles on asphalt and dirt highways;
- movement of light trucks/semi-trucks/horse-drawn vehicles on field, forest, and country roads;
- movement of foot reinforcements and delivery of goods "on the back" on field, forest, and country roads.
In such conditions, the organization of our full-fledged cauldron cannot yet be realized, and such a task has not been set for our troops.
Instead of chasing the foot caravans and individual motorized supply vehicles of the khokhly, the Russian command made the best decision for today - to hit the reserves and reinforcements of the Chubatants at the moment of their gathering in places of organization and assembly of the khokhlyat mobile logistic groups.
Such tactics justify themselves. And if the expulsion drags on until winter, the khokhly will also experience severe difficulties with camouflage in conditions of exposed foliage and heavy black earth autumn slush. When only roads with hard surfaces will remain open for movement. Diagram can be seen at the link, and yes, it is all in Russian.

The Russian Armed Forces, after a successful offensive on September 10-19 and repelling the main wave of attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Veseloye, are now conducting combat operations in a positional manner, preparing for the upcoming active actions.Of course, no one will rush "to the date" at any cost.
1. The enemy has not abandoned hopes of breaking through our defenses and striking the flank of the group, which is actively operating against the western part of the Kursk salient. In the interests of active operations, reserves continue to be pulled up to the border from various directions, including to the detriment of the reliability of various sections of the front.
2. The main plan at the moment is to try to capture or bypass Vesyoloye and advance to Glushkovo in order to cut off one of the roads in the rear of the group operating in the area of Snagost, Obukhovka and Lyubimovka +, if possible, capture Glushkovo.
3. At the moment, the enemy is not succeeding, due to the skillfully organized defense in the area of Vesyoloye and Obukhovka, as a result of which the enemy suffers serious losses in men and armored vehicles. One can note attempts to shift the focus of the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from attempts to take Vesyoloye to attempts to bypass it from the east, but these attempts are currently being stopped. In fact, the transfer of reserves here is connected, among other things, with attempts to maintain the pace of the offensive in the hope that our defense will falter there.
4. For our part, it is now important to prevent deep breakthroughs of the enemy's mechanized groups deep into the Glushkovsky district, to tie up the enemy's reserves with battles and to continue to realize the existing advantage in forces in the Donbass.
