Russo-Ukrainian war, day 1710: Azov says its small UAVs have hit more than 100 Russian trains in occupied Donbas
Ukraine has also unveiled Zakon, a national typeface meant to write Russian type out of state documents.
On day 1710 of the Russo-Ukrainian war, the Azov battalion claims its small UAVs have destroyed over 100 Russian trains operating in the occupied Donbas region. The Ukrainian military has been utilizing these drones, with donations aiding in their deployment. In the past year, Ukraine's 125th Brigade increased its manpower by 430% and successfully rescued 1,500 soldiers who had become stranded.
Earlier this year, the Defense Ministry reported that dozens of Russian drones were shot down by gun turrets in Kyiv, with 60+ targets credited to turrets in a private project that had been reported on October 14th. Meanwhile, Russia's Geran-5 drone reached a speed of 1,000 km/h in maneuvers, and Chinese engineers are assisting in developing technical solutions for Russia's drone technology.
Ukrainian firms claim they are now manufacturing more cruise missiles monthly than Europe did before 2022, although engines are a critical component Ukraine lacks in its strike programs. The Dutch defense firm Destinus anticipates meeting Europe's demand for 1.5-kilonewton-class cruise-missile engines, expected to begin production next year.
Ukrainian experts warn that shadows, rooftops, and job ads inadvertently reveal the locations of Ukrainian arms plants to Russian intelligence. A Ukrainian Defense Ministry report reveals that Russia launched over 100 ballistic missiles at Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast within two weeks, while Zelenskyy confirms Russia's ongoing ballistic missile strikes against the city.
