Four saboteurs were eliminated in an attempted breach of Russia’s state border in the Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine, the Federal Security Service (FSB) reported on Monday.

"On October 27, officers from the FSB Border Service in the Bryansk region, together with units of the Russian Armed Forces and the Russian National Guard, thwarted an attempted state border breach by a sabotage-reconnaissance group in the Klimovsky district," the security agency stated.

According to the FSB, "four saboteurs were eliminated in the clash, while the remnants of the retreating group were hit by missile and artillery strikes, resulting in further losses."

The FSB added that "the eliminated saboteurs were found with foreign weapons, equipment, communication devices, and personal items indicating ties to third countries (a Canadian flag, a prayer card in Polish, and a notebook with tactical training notes in English). A tattoo of the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, US Army Airborne Reconnaissance Regiment, was found on the body of one of the eliminated individuals."

According to open sources, the 75th Ranger Regiment is an elite US Special Operations unit comprised of specially trained and highly skilled soldiers. Essentially, it functions as a US Army airborne reconnaissance regiment for special operations. This is a specialized light infantry force with limited heavy weaponry and armored vehicles. Regiment members are trained for deployment by any means available—parachute, helicopter, or sea. One of the regiment’s airborne battalions is always on high alert, ready for deployment anywhere in the world within 18 hours.

In addition to reconnaissance, sabotage, and operations behind enemy lines, the regiment can conduct direct combat actions: securing and holding airfields, capturing or destroying strategically important enemy sites, and targeting high-ranking members of the enemy’s military-political leadership.

Units of the 75th Ranger Regiment participated in combat during the Vietnam War in the late 1960s.

Russian hackers hacked access to digital billboards in Times Square and launched a broadcast of the State Duma session 😂

The broadcast of the session lasted about an hour. Earlier, Google blocked the Russian State Duma channel on YouTube.
The central billboard displayed the message:
“Google blocked the State Duma on YouTube, but we found a better place for streaming. Censorship sucks.”

US’ TOP GOAL IN UKRAINE IS TO PROLONG THE CONFLICT TO MAINTAIN SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA - ANALYST

"The fact that the US is directly involved in the [Ukraine] conflict is practically official now. Mercenaries have been fighting on the Ukrainian side since the very beginning of the conflict. Kiev has a severe issue with manpower and cannon fodder," Xavier Moreau, founder and director of the political-strategic analysis center Stratpol, tells Sputnik.

"The world understands, and the Pentagon understands, that Ukraine has lost the war. Therefore, the goal is to find a way to prolong the conflict."

"This has been the strategy advocated since February 2023. American media and political circles talk about it to try to freeze the conflict, maintain sanctions against Russia, and prevent Europe from restoring its energy ties with Russia. This is Washington's number one objective," he adds.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Aleksandro-Kalinovskoye direction: fighting in Dzerzhinsk and breaking the Ukrainian Armed Forces' line of defense west of Novgorodskoye

Situation as of 18:00 October 28, 2024

In the Aleksandro-Kalinovsky direction, the Russian Armed Forces are conducting heavy fighting in the central part of Dzerzhinsk. At the same time, Russian troops have pushed through the defense of Ukrainian formations in the Novgorodskoye area.

▪️In the north of Dzerzhinsk, Russian units drove the Ukrainian Armed Forces from their positions between Dzerzhinsky and Pushkarenko streets. The enemy in this area operated with the support of a complex of capital buildings on Shchorsa Street.

To eliminate this stronghold, the Russian Armed Forces carried out a series of attacks, creating a semi-encirclement around the Ukrainian Armed Forces units in this area. At the moment, fighting continues in the area of ​​the complex, Ukrainian formations are using a large number of UAVs to strike at the assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️Further south, Ukrainian formations still hold the territory of the Dzerzhinsky mine . This allows them to maintain a presence in the forest to the southeast, while being semi-encircled.

▪️The tense situation also remains in the Zabalka microdistrict. Ukrainian formations launched a series of counterattacks in the north of Sverdlov Avenue , during one of which Russian UAV operators destroyed an M113 armored personnel carrier.

There is no information that the Russian Armed Forces are holding or have recaptured the avenue. Sources from the area note the high intensity of mortar fire from the enemy, which is preventing the advance of assault groups.

❗️In urban combat, both sides widely use remote mining and anti-tank mines to destroy shelters and positions. Such tactics have become a characteristic feature of urban battles in both Dzerzhinsk and Chasovy Yar . In many ways, it is caused by the impossibility of the widespread use of armored vehicles due to the massive use of UAVs, while the infantry needs means of effectively defeating and clearing enemy positions.

▪️In the Shcherbinovka area, Russian troops, according to some reports, advanced along the railway track. It is impossible to determine with certainty from the footage published by the enemy whose positions were shelled in the video. It is also not possible to clarify the configuration of the front from the ground at the moment.

▪️To the west of Novgorodskoye, where the local population is being evacuated, assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces have established control over three strongholds that were part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' line of defense on the Leonidovka-Sukhaya Balka line. Given the time delay required to publish objective control footage, we can expect information about larger-scale successes of the Russian Armed Forces in this area.

A further offensive will open the way for the Russian Armed Forces to Sukhaya Balka and will allow the formation of a semi-envelopment of the enemy group on the Valentinovka-Kalinovo line.

Putin hopes West heard his warnings on attacks deep into Russia

The Ukrainian army cannot use high-precision weapons independently, Putin noted

MOSCOW, October 27. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed hope that the West heard his warnings on consequences of the permission to attack deep into the country.

"They have not reported anything to me, but I hope that they heard, since we will surely have to take some decisions for ourselves as well," he said when asked a respective question by VGTRK journalist Pavel Zarubin.

The Ukrainian army cannot use high-precision weapons independently, Putin noted, adding that NATO countries’ specialists only can do it.

The Russian president said in September that if a decision on strikes deep into Russia was taken it would mean nothing else than a direct participation of NATO states, the US and Europe in the military conflict in Ukraine, adding that in this case Moscow would make respective decisions depending on the threats it faced.
