Ukraine’s Defense & Military Developments (1/2)
> Ukrainian Defence Intelligence reported that its cyber unit disabled the JSC Energiya drone plant in Yelets, delaying Russian unmanned-aerial vehicle deliveries and exposing weaknesses in the Kremlin’s military supply chain.

> Local authorities in Voronezh confirmed a nighttime drone strike that ignited a large fire near Pioneer House, demonstrating Kyiv’s expanding deep-strike reach inside Russia.

> President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Germany will send additional Patriot air-defence batteries once Berlin receives U.S. replacements, enhancing Ukraine’s layered missile shield before winter.

> Zelensky also said Norway will provide a Patriot battery under a deal now joined by Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands, signalling wider Nordic-Benelux coordination on air-defence support.

> Latvia’s Prime Minister Evika Siliņa confirmed that Patria 6×6 armoured personnel carriers have arrived at the front, boosting troop mobility in contested sectors.

> The United Kingdom approved a five-year package of 6,000 Lightweight Multirole Missiles and RapidRanger launchers, strengthening Ukraine’s short-range air-defence against drones and helicopters.

> Ukraine’s Air Force struck a Russian drone command post, disrupting enemy reconnaissance cycles and buying defenders time to reinforce eastern lines.

> Video from the 3rd Assault Brigade shows a domestically built “Torch” loitering munition destroying a fortified Russian position, highlighting the growing lethality of Ukrainian drones.
