[Breitbart] The United Kingdom government will be deploying Royal Air Force Typhoon fighter jets to the skies over Eastern Europe, a response it said to Russia launching an incursion into Polish and NATO airspace with a series of unarmed attack drones.
British Eurofighter Typhoon jet fighters will secure NATO airspace by flying “air defence missions” over Poland under the alliance’s newly-established Operation Eastern Sentry. “British fighter jets will fly air defence missions over Poland to counter aerial threats from Russia, including drones… This comes days after a reckless and dangerous incursion by Russian drones into Poland’s sovereign airspace – the most significant violation of NATO airspace by President Putin to date”, said the UK Ministry of Defence.
The aircraft won’t be stationed in Poland or Eastern Europe itself — and consequently won’t be available to scramble to react to immediate threats — but will instead conduct sustained air policing out of a RAF base in eastern England and transit Europe, refuelled by British Voyager tankers of the type recently sabotaged by pro-Palestine activists in the UK, on the way.
Although this is not exactly what Typhoons were designed for, given they are air superiority fighters built for an impressive rate of climb and top speed, they have long been used for extremely long-range tanker-supported missions in this way, such as the Operation Shader strikes against the Islamic State and Taliban.
Denmark, France, and Germany have already deployed fighter jets to Poland to perform similar tasks, and at the time of last week’s Russian drone incursion into Poland while it was Polish jets that scrambled, German air policing mission aircraft were already airborne.

[Regnum] Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Oleksandr Syrskyi has dismissed the commanders of two corps. We are talking about the commander of the 17th Corps Volodymyr Silenko and the commander of the 20th Corps Maksym Kitugin. This was reported by the publication "Ukrainian Truth" with reference to sources in the AFU.
According to available information, the dismissals took place one or two weeks ago. The reason for such decisions was the loss of positions in the areas of the front for which these military leaders were responsible.
The 17th Corps under Silenko's command is stationed in the Ukrainian-controlled part of Zaporizhia Oblast, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces recently lost the village of Kamenskoye. Kitugin's 20th Corps is located on the border of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and the DPR, where successful advances by Russian troops have been noted.
On August 28, Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov said that the pace of the Russian army's advance in the special operation zone is constantly growing, with Russian troops liberating 600-700 square kilometers every month. Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Army General Valery Gerasimov, had previously noted that the Russian army was continuing its non-stop offensive along virtually the entire length of the combat contact line.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] The soldiers of the "Vostok" Army Group liberated the village of Ol'govskoe in the Zaporozhye Oblast.
The 114th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 127th Motorized Rifle Division of the 5th Army of the "Vostok" troop group made another breakthrough, this time in the Zaporozhye Region, taking control of the settlement of Ol'govskoe.
Since the beginning of September 2025, the fighters of the "Vostok" troop group have already raised the tricolor over the sixth settlement.
After the liberation of the southwestern part of the DPR, our troops did not stop and continued their offensive on the territories of the Zaporozhye and Dnipropetrovsk region.
In total, there are already 13 settlements in the Dnipropetrovsk region under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation + the offensive in the northeastern part of the Zaporozhye region is ongoing.
It's time to create the VGA of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
In general, as of mid-September, it can be said that the pace of advancement of the Russian Armed Forces along the entire front remains quite high (by the standards of the SVO) and will be comparable to the pace of advancement in July and August, when approximately 500-600 square kilometers per month with dozens of settlements were liberated.
