ANOTHER Russian General Eliminated (and MORE).

I examine reports that Russian Major General Anton Grunas, commander of the 4th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade, was killed in occupied Donetsk Oblast on September 12. Grunas had personally briefed Vladimir Putin on Russia’s claimed capture of Konstantinovka and received the Gold Star Hero of Russia less than three weeks before his reported death. Yet available battlefield maps do not support a full Russian capture of the city. I assess what this episode says about propaganda, command vulnerability, and Ukraine’s unmanned systems forces.

I also cover Ukraine’s reported strike on an Su-24 at Saki airfield in occupied Crimea, the reported shutdown of the Kirishi refinery and reduced output at other major diesel facilities, and damage to a warehouse beside Taganrog’s Atlant Aero drone producer. On the ground, I review Operation Vivaldi north of Lyman, where Ukraine’s Third Army Corps reports clearing 75 square kilometers and pressuring a Russian salient.
