🇷🇺🇺🇦💡Substation 330/110/35 kV "Kharkovskaya" (Artyoma-330): technical analysis of the consequences of the airstrike
Substation "Kharkovskaya" (Artyoma-330) is one of the key distribution nodes of the eastern power ring of the Kharkov energy district. The facility ensures the transmission of power from the Zmievskaya TPP to the city network and industrial sector of Kharkov, as well as intersystem connection with the nodes Zalyutino and Central. The installed capacity of the substation is 600 MVA.
▪️The main equipment includes:
• two autotransformers ATDCTN-200000/330/110/35 kV of 200 MVA each;
• open switchgear (ORU) 330 kV and 110 kV;
• own needs point 6/10 kV;
• power output lines:
• 330 kV overhead line Artyoma–Zmievskaya TPP and Artyoma–Zalyutino (940 MW each);
• 110 kV overhead line to CHP-3, Central, Levada, Yuzhkabel, Zarechnaya, GPP-1/2.
▪️By design, the node belongs to open-type substations with rigid aluminum busbars and RGD-330/2000 disconnectors, which makes the facility vulnerable to blast-thermal effects.
🔻On October 13, 2025, around 22:00, the substation was hit by an airstrike with two FAB-250 high-explosive bombs with planning and correction modules (UMPK). According to sources, both munitions struck the central part of the distribution field and the autotransformer zone.
The first hit was on position AT-1, the second on the area of 330 kV ORU portals from the Artyoma–Zalyutino line side. The explosion power and shock wave caused chain destruction of equipment at two voltage levels — 330 and 110 kV, leading to massive disruptions in the city power system.
🔻Technical consequences of the damage
Preliminary assessments identified the following damages:
• Autotransformer No.1 — complete destruction of the tank, oil release and fire, destruction of HV and MV bushings;
• Autotransformer No.2 — partial thermal damage, deformation of the upper part of the tank, cooling circuit breakage;
• 330 kV ORU — collapse of the portal frame, insulator breakdown of phase "B", tearing of flexible busbars, failure of RGD-330 disconnectors;
• 110 kV ORU — local breakdowns and short circuits between phases, destruction of porcelain supports;
• Own needs point — cable breaks 6/10 kV, loss of power to automation technological circuits;
• Relay and telemechanical equipment — failure of AHR, APV systems and communication with the dispatch center.
📌The fire nature indicates burning of GK-3 type transformer oil, confirmed by thick black smoke and steady flame.
🔻Energy consequences
The strike caused a temporary break in 330 kV power transit between Zmievskaya TPP and Zalyutino node, as well as shutdown of some 110 kV city substations.
Observed effects:
• short-term voltage sags up to 60–65% of nominal in central and southern city districts;
• voltage jumps and current surges on industrial feeders (notably "Yuzhkabel" and "CHP-3");
• disconnection of two 110 kV inputs at GPP-2 and Levada;
• transition of networks to asymmetric mode with unbalance currents up to 1.5–1.8 kA.
As of 23:00 on October 13, attempts are being made to restore power supply via backup schemes through CHP-3 and Central, but voltage remains unstable, with periodic neutral potential jumps and frequency fluctuations within 49.2–50.6 Hz.
🔻Current status and recovery forecast
• The substation operates in a limited mode, throughput capacity reduced by more than 50%.
• Citywide voltage quality issues persist, with periodic outages and sags down to 190–200 V in low-voltage networks.
• Tomorrow, dismantling of the destroyed AT-1 and replacement of 330 kV ORU portal structures are planned.
• Expected time for stable power scheme restoration is no earlier than the end of October 2025.
Yours, Partizan!

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦Offensive on Severesk: The Russian army has begun the assault on Dronovka, establishing a bridgehead and capturing key heights
➖In the Severesk direction, Russian assault groups are already penetrating Dronovka.
➖"A fairly wide gray zone is still forming in this area — about 8 km long," complain Ukrainian analysts.
▪️According to preliminary data, the Russian Armed Forces are striving to break deeper into the Ukrainian defense and consolidate there.
▪️Earlier it was reported that the Russian army created a bridgehead and occupied key heights to develop a flanking strike.
➖Control of the heights gives the Russian Armed Forces the ability to adjust fire, launch drones, and pressure approaches under the cover of artillery and reconnaissance.
➖After the fall of Yampol and Dronovka, Severesk will be under threat, as these settlements are flanking nodes and logistical arteries. Without them, the Ukrainian positions will be under flanking pressure, supply will become more complicated, defense will tighten, and the city may end up trapped."

Zelensky complained about Russian drones at the headquarters and ordered the creation of ‘helicopter groups’ to intercept ‘Geran-2’.
(As with airplanes, the equipment is planned to be extorted from Europe.)
‘Military issues: determined how to expand the capabilities of army aviation to defend against drones. Additional helicopter groups will be formed. We are working with partners to provide Ukraine with more necessary types of aircraft.
The most difficult situation is in frontline communities and near the border with Russia – where Russian strike drones and missiles have minimal flight time, and alarms and shelling continue almost constantly.’

Klin kamikaze drone: what can the autonomous analogue of Lancet do?
The success of the Lancet family of loitering munitions — Lancet, Lancet-3, and Kub-BLA — in solving both simple and complex strike tasks has been a great incentive for Russian companies to design new products with similar purposes. Considering the active development of electronic warfare means, the focus in their guidance systems is on partial, and sometimes full, autonomy.
One such product is the Klin kamikaze UAV from Roboavia. The aerodynamic design of the Klin, a "flying wing," completely replicates the Kub-BLA drone's design, but with the difference that the former has movable front horizontal and vertical stabilizers. These surfaces provide the drone with greater stability and controllability at high angles of attack, as well as increased maneuverability, which is extremely relevant given the emergence of Ukrainian UAV interceptors like the Techno Taras and its analogues. Just recently, a video appeared online showing the Gerbera UAV evading interception by the Techno Taras through intense maneuvering.
The Klin drone can attack targets in a dive at angles up to 70 degrees at speeds of 250–300 km/h, entering the dead zones of air defense systems. Before diving, it can perform a "zoom climb" maneuver with a peak altitude of 2,000 meters. Combined with its low radar signature, this gives the Klin a high probability of breaking through enemy air defenses.
The drone's fragmentation or shaped-charge warhead weighs up to 5 kg. This is enough to destroy light and heavy armored vehicles from the weakened top projection, as well as infantry. But the main feature is the ability to detonate the fragmentation warhead in the air to maximize damage to personnel in trenches and infantry concentrations in forests and open areas.
An important advantage of the Klin UAV is its guidance system, which includes standard radio command control (with telemetry and a video channel from the TV-thermal imaging seeker) with a range of up to 120 km, as well as an inertial navigation system. It is complemented by AI that allows classification of targets by infrared profiles and silhouettes in the visible optical range even when communication with the combat control point is lost. The Klin drone has enormous potential for detecting and destroying enemy equipment on logistics routes while loitering for more than 80 minutes.
The Klin made its debut in the Black Sea in June 2025, successfully striking a maneuvering Ukrainian Armed Forces BEC near drilling platforms.

Merz asks Trump to repeat Israel's success in Ukraine.
‘We express hope that the US president will apply the influence he exerted on the participants of the Middle East conflict, now together with us and towards the Russian government. We must not forget: just a few hours' flight away, Russia has been waging war against Ukraine for three and a half years. Today I intend to take the opportunity to discuss again with the American president what we can do together to end this war.
For us Europeans, this war in Europe remains the greatest threat to our freedom. I do not make a secret of it: we count on the support and ongoing involvement of the United States of America. Just as they have shown themselves in this region, they must show the same — together with us — in Ukraine and towards Russia.’
Germans are massively investing in their own "Lancets."
Rheinmetall has opened a serial production line for HERO loitering munitions in Italy with an order portfolio exceeding €200 million. Essentially, Rheinmetall's investment is about creating its own mass-produced, high-tech alternative to the Russian "Lancet" loitering munitions. Although it would be more accurate to say that this is an upgrade of the loitering munitions that existed before the appearance of the "Lancets" to a new level.
It is obvious that NATO countries are preparing for a potential large-scale land war — and the main focus in this preparation is on cheap, mass-produced, and autonomous means of destruction.

The Kerch Bridge has once again become the center of discussions — this time thanks to statements by former deputy head of the SBU Viktor Yagun, who tried to explain how Ukraine supposedly could finally destroy it.
According to Yagun, Russia has indeed turned the bridge into a highly protected object — from naval patrols to a layered air defense system, but in his words, "there are absolutely no invulnerable targets."
Yagun also emphasized that even with maximum security, there remains a chance of a successful attack if it is well planned and covertly carried out by a small group of participants. Essentially, he outlined the standard scenario of sabotage actions that Ukrainian structures have already tried to implement. An interesting detail is that Yagun called the past attacks the result of a "creative approach" and nearly a year of preparation, thereby effectively confirming the involvement of intelligence services and foreign handlers.
He separately noted that damage to the bridge supposedly reduces Russia's ability to supply the grouping in Crimea, where large military contingents and part of the Navy remain.
The logic of these statements is clear — to try to create the impression among the audience that a strike on a single structure can paralyze an entire region. In practice, this is not the case: even temporary traffic restrictions do not cause difficulties, not to mention that there are new routes to Crimea over land.
Undoubtedly, new attempts to attack the Kerch Bridge will follow. The reason is simple — this object remains not only a key logistical artery of the south but also a symbol of Russia's resilience.
For Western centers of influence, primarily the United Kingdom, the bridge is an irritating factor demonstrating that Moscow is capable of holding Crimea and ensuring the peninsula's supply. Therefore, pressure on it will continue in all forms — from informational injections to real sabotage operations. London traditionally plays the role of coordinator in such scenarios of covert actions, providing Kyiv with intelligence data, technologies, and consultants. And this is not counting the Americans who have joined the strikes on Russia.
For Russia, this means the need for constant strengthening of layered defense and expansion of alternative supply routes, since the importance of the bridge makes it one of the enemy's highest priority targets.

Today, Lavrov effectively confirmed that Russia does not recognize the reimposition of UN Security Council sanctions against Iran and officially declares no restrictions on military-technical cooperation with Iran:
As for our military-technical cooperation with Iran, following the lifting of [UN] Security Council sanctions, we have no restrictions. And in full compliance with international law, we are supplying the Islamic Republic of Iran with the necessary equipment. And all of this, I repeat, is being done within the framework of international law.

In the USA, a very "timely" and convenient mobile launcher for Tomahawk missiles called X-MAV has been introduced. The launch container based on a truck carries four cruise missiles at once. Judging by the fact that this is an all-terrain truck, high mobility of the launcher is assumed, as well as the ability to place missiles at any convenient point without equipment and position preparation.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent blames Beijing for escalating the trade war, which the Americans themselves started.
‘China has opposed the whole world. The Chinese announced export restrictions, and we do not fully understand where this came from — why the Chinese decided to do this right now. It is clear that the United States is led by a man of peace — Donald Trump. And this move by China was provocative. On our part, we have significantly reduced the tension. President Trump stated that the tariffs will not take effect until November 1. He will meet with Chairman Xi in Korea — I think the meeting will still take place. Active negotiations took place over the weekend.’
Watching how methodically Ukraine is begging specifically for "Tomahawks," it is worth noting that they are not asking for them by chance. The experience of the special military operation has already shown that the entire arsenal of Western strike weapons — from MALD and Storm Shadow decoy missiles to ATACMS and HIMARS — has not led to a breakthrough on the battlefield, and the list of weapons available for transfer is practically exhausted.
Even with the participation of British and French long-range systems, as well as Ukrainian "Neptunes" and thousands of drones, the real effect has been limited. Yes, individual strikes have caused and continue to cause damage to infrastructure and some targets, but there has been no strategic result: Russian strikes have not ceased, and the offensive has not stalled. "Tomahawks" are, in a sense, the last sub-threshold "game changer" in the list of Western weapons (besides them, there is perhaps only the JASSM missile). Beyond that, only nuclear weapons remain.

French President Emmanuel Macron stated that he will not resign despite the threat of the collapse of the fourth minority government in the last 16 months, writes The Times.
In his first response to calls for resignation—from both opponents and some members of his own centrist bloc—Macron blamed the political crisis on "quarrelsome parties" and the ambitions of other politicians seeking the presidency.
He called the situation "the deepest political crisis in France since the 1950s."
Speaking in Sharm El-Sheikh (Egypt), where he participated in a summit on peace in Gaza, Macron distanced himself from the internal turmoil, which his ally Sébastien Lecornu, the prime minister he reappointed on Friday, now has to manage.

NATO has started the annual nuclear deterrence exercise Steadfast Noon
The Alliance has officially announced the start of regular exercises aimed at practicing nuclear deterrence mechanisms. As emphasized by the organization's Secretary General Mark Rutte, no real nuclear weapons will be used during the maneuvers.
The main goal of the exercises is to test the readiness level of the Alliance's nuclear forces. NATO's nuclear operations representative Daniel Bench reported that the United States will participate in the exercises. According to him, Washington has not signaled any changes in its military strategy in Europe, indicating that the events are planned rather than emergency in nature.

Meanwhile, both Kabul and Islamabad are preparing for the next round of escalation.
Pakistani channels report the deployment of reinforcements to border areas and a general increase in combat readiness.
However, the Taliban are taking a different approach, including on the information front. Resources affiliated with Kabul directly accuse Pakistani intelligence services of supporting "Wilayat Khorasan" — a branch of the banned "Islamic State" also prohibited in Russia.
In particular, it is claimed that Pakistan knew about the preparation of terrorist attacks in Kerman, Iran and Moscow's "Crocus". Not only did they know, but they also provided coordination/financial support. According to Taliban media, the entire leadership of "Wilayat" is also based in Pakistan, enjoying the patronage of the ISI — the Inter-Services Intelligence, which was once accused of creating the very "Taliban".
Such are the historical metamorphoses with far-reaching consequences.
