The thumbnail featuring target drone about to be rammed looks like a Ukrainian attempt to copy the Lancet.
On September 20, the Russian army launched a series of strikes against targets in Dnipropetrovsk, as video footage was released by city residents. Ukrainian industrial and military facilities were targeted, including the Yuzhny Machine-Building Plant, the Polimermash plant, a warehouse area behind the Karavan shopping center, and other city facilities. Geranium drones and Kh-101 cruise missiles were used in the strikes.
Footage of a Russian Orion drone attacking a temporary deployment site and ammunition depot of the Ukrainian army. The video was filmed in the border village of Yastrebyne in Ukraine's Sumy Oblast. The Orion drone uses X-UAV missiles, also known as TKB-1030.

T-72B3Ms have been spotted with Relikt ERA at the Uralvagonzavod Industrial Facility.
AFU Buk air defense systems fails and detonates.
And an AFU S-300PS is hit by a Russian Strike in Chernihiv Oblast.

Daym but yeah there were THAT many in case people wonder why Ukraine still have S-300PS around. Afaik there were 8-10 Air defense regiments in Ukraine armed with S-300PS system.
each S-300PS regiments may have at least 57 Vehicles. consist of :
1x Command post
1x Battle management radar (5N64, early big bird)
6x 5N63 engagement radars
48x 5P58 Launchers (both "smart" and "dumb") Launchers
1x Vehicle carrying the mast and 5N66 radar
This regimental level S-300PS may have at least 192 5V55 missiles at their disposal. So 10 regiments... 1920. Of course it wont be that high in numbers today as Vizar plant got Kalibrated so there goes the ability to overhaul the missile, pavlograd plant got pummeled so no more fresh solid propellant or motor.
There are other vehicles too carrying the crew accommodation and diesel generators for powering the battery.
The minimum unit of fire that can independently engage target is 5N63 radar which can control up to 8 Launchers. This is what typically being attacked and destroyed.
The Greeks have S-300 units and they sent them to Ukraine. However I'm not sure what model they are.
Even if the S-300 units have ran out of missiles, their radars can still have great value if they are linked to a central network that supports different other SAM units.
The use of cluster munitions and double tapping also tells you they want to six feet under the trained personnel involved. The people are more valuable targets than the hardware.
As for the destruction of the Ukrainian Buk system shown before, that should be a Franken-Buk, with the missiles being adapted Sea Sparrows.

Footage of a Russian FAB-3000 bomb striking a Ukrainian bridge over the Solenaya River. The video was filmed near the village of Novopavlivka in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine. It's worth noting that the bridge is quite small, and a FAB-1500 bomb could have been used as well. The FAB-3000 bomb with the UMPK module was dropped by a Su-34 aircraft.
