Hey Ukrainians, how tasty are the products from this company?

Below is the auto-translation of the video's description on YouTube: Interesting, but not sure why it is relevant to the Israel thread.

Ukraine claims to have destroyed a substantial number of tanks and APCs yesterday. Perhaps from the attack on Avdiivka?

Interesting if true:

Israel released this video compilation of clips from the attacks by Hamas:

There was a video the other day on one such prototype drone, but perhaps not fully-autonomous, competing for the U.S. Air Force's Skyborg program: https://www.airforce.com/experience-the-air-force/airmen-stories/inside-air-force-innovation/project-skyborg https://afresearchlab.com/technology/skyborg

Here is a related post from Russian telegrammer Rybar: https://t.me/rybar/52984

Israel released this video montage of their striking of Hamas targets:

I'm guessing that when Ukraine says they successfully repelled X number of attacks by the Russians, they may have omitted Y number of attacks that they didn't repel? Notice how they describe the Bakhmut and Adviivka sectors differently from other sectors. https://t.me/operativnoZSU/118164

Russia knows how to milk the conflict in Israel for their own gain: https://t.me/AFUStratCom/20411

I think that's true, but to fair to them in characterizing their motives, they want the End Times not principally for the Apocalypse, which they see as inevitable, but for the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven that follows it. Very likely, this should be taken to the Israel thread and not debated here.

Don't forget there was a lot of dissent by certain members of the armed forces and intelligence agencies against the politics of Netanyahu's coalition. In that context, I can see a lot of turnover and desire by Netanyahu to replace those opposing him. Former leaders of Israel’s security services are speaking out against Netanyahu’s policies https://apnews.com/article/israel-netanyahu-mossad-military-protests-cb8742ba0b0f210953669824568eab1e Turmoil over Netanyahu's judicial overhaul reaches into Israel's cherished military https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/netanyahu-judicial-overhaul-military-reservists-protests-idf-rcna96197 Israel's Netanyahu cools censure of protesting reservists as judicial crisis simmers https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israels-netanyahu-cools-censure-protesting-reservists-judicial-crisis-simmers-2023-08-14/ I'm not going to venture into the the reasons for the political divisions in Israel. But I can see the effects of this "political civil war" not being good for the functioning of the country's intelligence gathering and military preparedness.

I haven't come across man overview maps of the fighting, but the Russian telegrammer Rybar offers these: https://rybar.ru/piwigo/upload/2023/10/07/20231007232801-43400a46.jpg https://rybar.ru/piwigo/upload/2023/10/08/20231008074318-ccdfc27d.jpg
