Russian companies have established a barter trade system with Pakistan to facilitate economic exchanges without the need for monetary transactions, as they seek to overcome challenges with payments related to Western sanctions on Moscow.

Under the terms of the agreement, Russia will export 20,000 tons of chickpeas, while Pakistan will supply an equivalent amount of rice. Another contract stipulates that Russia will send 15,000 tons of chickpeas and 10,000 tons of lentils in exchange for 15,000 tons of mandarins and 10,000 tons of potatoes.

While monetary transactions are under increasing scrutiny due to international sanctions against Russia in retaliation for its invasion of Ukraine, barter schemes offer companies a way to circumvent complications by exchanging goods directly rather than involving bank payments. Such deals help avoid attention from monitoring organizations tasked with ensuring compliance with sanctions.

This is not Russia's first exploration of barter trade as a solution to payment issues. In August, Reuters reported that Russia had been in discussions with China about resuming barter trade, particularly in metals and agricultural products. However, that project has been slow to gain momentum, as individual companies have struggled to meet the specific needs of both sides.

The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02.22 to 07.10.24 approximately amounted to:

personnel – about 660470 (+1160) people
Tanks – 8933 (+14) units
armored combat vehicles – 17710 (+31) units
Artillery systems – 19156 (+64) units
MLRS – 1223 (+7) units
air defense – 972 (+2) units
aircraft – 368 (+0) units
helicopters – 328 (+0) units
Operative-Tactical level UAV – 16643 (+65)
Cruise missiles – 2615 (+2)
Ships /boats – 28 (+0) units
submarines – 1 (+0) units
motor vehicles and tankers – 26102 (+96) units
special equipment – 3364 (+1)

The data is being clarified.

Fight the occupier! Together we will win!

Defense forces of Ukraine hit another important object of the Russian invaders

Tonight, a successful attack was made on the enemy's marine oil terminal located in the temporarily occupied Feodosia of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. A fire was recorded in the vicinity of the facility. The consequences of the damage are being clarified.

The Feodosia terminal is the largest in Crimea in terms of transshipment of petroleum products, which were used, in particular, to meet the needs of the occupation army of the Russian Federation.

The task was carried out by units of the missile forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in cooperation with other components of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

Measures to undermine the military and economic potential of the Russian Federation continue.

Next will be...

Glory to Ukraine!

I know that Ukraine relies a lot on DJI drones, particularly for reconnaissance, and I am curious if this is a security risk. DJI is headquartered in China, and China and Russia have good relations, so is it possible that Russia makes a request to China that they brick Ukraine's drones, or backdoor them?

So, a brief summary of the night bangs in Crimea

The Belbek and Saki airfields were attacked.

At 11:30 p.m. on October 6, the first explosions were heard, which were clearly audible in the Saksky district, and their echoes were heard in the Simferopol and Krasnogvardeisky districts. In total, subscribers counted up to 12-15 explosions. Bursts of large-caliber weapons were also heard. An hour later, a second series of explosions was heard. According to our source, there was at least one hit in the area of the airfield in Novofedorovka.

An alarm signal sounded in military units in Sevastopol. Around midnight, aircraft were scrambled from the Belbek airfield, subscribers reported. But we assume that they scrambled earlier to avoid being hit. At about one o'clock in the morning a strong fire broke out in the area of the Belbek airfield. Its source is unknown.

RosEmercom declared an air threat throughout the entire territory of occupied Crimea. Z-publics wrote about an attack by Ukrainian UAVs and that, allegedly, the valiant , clumsy RosPVO shot everything down.

Let's wait until the morning, when the smoke clears and the sun rises.

🐴 This is what an FPV drone interceptor for Russian reconnaissance UAVs looks like. It is able to rise to a height of up to 5 km stably, and in some cases - up to 8 km. The video shows how he reached a height of 4083 meters. The drone is equipped with a 6S6P battery with a capacity of 21000mAh, which provides it with a significant flight duration. Test flight.

Another enemy assault - another success of the 60 ombre fighters! FPV drone BBps "Vidarr" accurately aimed at the enemy tank and delivered a devastating blow. The explosion was so powerful that it was probably seen even on the ISS! Another enemy iron monster is destroyed thanks to the skill of our drone operators and the bravery of the defenders. We continue to stand in defense of our land!

The monitoring group said that the strikes were supported by planes believed to be Israeli and that Syrian air defenses and Russian forces were “confronting” the missiles for over 40 minutes. Rybar said that some of Israel’s cruise missiles were shot down by Russian antiaircraft fire from Russia’s nearby base but that others hit a warehouse used by Syrian and Iranian forces.

💥Chasiv Yar. The 24th brigade is demobilizing too brave Russians!

Soldiers of the battalion of unmanned aerial systems "RAROG" of the 24th OMBr named after King Danylo destroy the occupiers, who freeze in place as the drones approach or continue to walk slowly.

But it only helps to hit the enemy more accurately.

In this video, the liquidation of seven invaders was recorded, 15 more were wounded.

UAZ 452 Buhanka cars and a pickup truck were also destroyed.

All the passengers of Buhanka arrived at their last stop in life.
