Summary

On the morning of 2025-11-25, Moldova's Defense Ministry reported six drones entered Moldovan airspace; one was tracked near Vinogradovca moving toward Romania, and five crossed multiple regions. One drone crashed on the roof of a home in Cuhureștii de Jos village. Concurrently, several kamikaze drones were observed over southwestern Moscow outskirts, resulting in some crashing, being shot down, or striking high-rise apartments. At least two UAV types were used, including a model previously documented crashing in Russia (first noted in Tula Oblast in March 2025), known to have been used in attacks such as the Ilsky oil refinery near Krasnodar. Additionally, near Kyiv on May 4th, 2025 at 02:40 UTC, a Russian Kh-47M2 Khinzal ballistic missile was reportedly shot down by Ukrainian air defenses, an event noted as the first successful interception of such a missile. Imagery is pending to confirm the missile type; both Khinzal and Iskander missiles are highly difficult to intercept except with modern Western air defense systems recently deployed in Ukraine. A Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 drone was downed by Ukrainian surface-to-air fire over Kyiv, confirmed not to be the Russian Korsar drone. In Bakhmut, Donetsk Oblast, the captured Russian T-80BVM tank named 'Bunny' was destroyed after being damaged by 240mm mortar fire, with crew igniting it to prevent Russian recapture. This tank had previously destroyed at least six Russian tanks. Ukrainian troops were filmed preparing tank ammo identified as Iranian 125mm OF19 HE-FRAG projectiles, marking the fourth Iranian ammunition type documented in Ukrainian use, following Iranian-made 122mm/152mm artillery shells and 122mm Grad rockets recorded in 2022. This overview was provided by a military intelligence account marking its one-year anniversary of reliable reporting on Ukrainian battlefield developments and materiel tracking.

Classification

Confidence: High

Multiple hostile UAV incursions into Moldovan and Russian airspace and missile attacks against Ukrainian targets indicate ongoing aggressive military operations. The use of kamikaze drones and ballistic missile threats reflects hybrid warfare tactics by hostile forces.
