Stalin-era howitzers deployed to defend Kursk region
The Russian army has begun using 130-mm M-46 howitzers from the 1950s to defend the Kursk region; footage of the weapons was shown by the Russian Defense Ministry, and the Agency drew attention to the artillery.
"The footage shows the combat work of M-46 gun crews of the Sever troop group in the border area of the Kursk region. M-46 gun crews equipped firing positions in the border areas of the Kursk region to destroy mobile armored groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces," the press release of the Russian military department says. Previously, such howitzers were used in other areas of the front. The 130-mm M-46 cannon entered service in 1951. In the mid-1970s, the USSR replaced this howitzer with the 152-mm Giatsint-B cannon.
Russia has begun to de-mothball its howitzer stockpiles amid heavy artillery losses during the war with Ukraine. At the start of the full-scale invasion, 665 M-46 howitzers were stored in military warehouses. In the summer, the Russian army increased the speed of de-mothballing these guns, delivering half of all stockpiles to the front, the Highmarsed project noted. As Forbes specified, Russia can import shells for such guns from the DPRK or Iran, since it does not produce them itself.

💥🔥 An oil depot in the Kamensky district, located in the northeast of the Rostov region of russia
💥🔥The Rosrezerv Atlas plant in the Kamensky District of the Rostov Region, is burning after a UAV attack.
"This is Atlas burning again. The explosion was around 3 a.m., <…> It's scary to sleep,"
Since it began operations, the 'Atlas' facility has specialized in the storage of petroleum products, according to local media. The facility also supplies fuel to the Russian army, journalists claim. 'In August 2020, joint exercises were held at the "Atlas" facility between the Ministry of Defense and Rosrezerv as part of the "Caucasus-2020" drills. The exercises demonstrated three methods of fuel supply for the army—by road, rail, and pipeline,' according to a 2023 publication by the newspaper "Zemlya."
The facility was previously attacked in early August.

Risk of 'nuclear incident' at Kursk NPP, says IAEA chief
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, after visiting the Kursk NPP, said that cases of military activity near the Kursk NPP raise concerns about its safety. He reported that he saw traces of UAV attacks.
"The peculiarity of the Kursk NPP is that it operates RBMK reactors. The RBMK, by its design, does not have a protective shell, a containment, which many reactors of other types in the world are equipped with," he said.
The war of the bridges
Another Russian pontoon bridge installed on the Seym River has disappeared in the Kursk region of Russia between the villages of Zvanoe and Glushkovo.
This is evidenced by satellite images.
This crossing was built by the Russians 500 meters away from the previous one, which had been successfully destroyed by the AFU earlier.
Watch this one to see how a policeman cost his city $280,000 by arresting a man for not talking. I thought everyone knew we have a right to remain silent?
Didi says this one is good. The collapse of the Russian Army.
