Dozens Of Towns Retaken From Russians Ukraine has fought into occupied territory, capturing equipment and personnel and raising the country’s blue-and-yellow flag along the way. Ukraine’s multipronged offensive that kicked off about a week ago has punched miles into Russian-occupied territory in multiple sectors, with dozens of towns recaptured, scores of prisoners taken, and many pieces of abandoned equipment seized. Brig. Gen. Oleksyi Hromov, Deputy Chief of the Main Operations Department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said Thursday that Ukrainian forces had pierced Russian lines around Kharkiv in the north and pressed more than 30 miles beyond. In a matter of a few days, they have liberated at least 20 settlements, Hromov told the Kyiv Independent news service. Anton Gerashcenko, an advisor to Ukraine’s minister of internal affairs, also confirmed the progress on Sept. 8. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/ukraine-situation-report-dozens-of-towns-retaken-from-russians

I did not notice mine had been shipped from overseas, it was a while back but delivery if I remember was quite quick and within their usual time frame. There is brand name on them, BAIGISH made in Russia but as you say probably OEM, I guess for someone to buy dozens of them and put their own brand on them. There was no case supplied with mine. Over the years when I was in UK I owned many binoculars branded either German or Russian but these are in my opinion way superior. I found 10x50 better for general use and bird and aviation spotting vs the weaker but wider 7x50.

I bought these 10x50 Binoculars from Lazada, earlier this year, they are well made, bright image and clear, can recommend them https://www.lazada.co.th/products/i2299710197-s7750004839.html?urlFlag=true&mp=1&spm=spm%3Da2o4m.order_details.item_title.1

The Drones Russia Is Reportedly Receiving From Iran For Its Ukraine War Reports state that the first tranche of Iranian drones intended for use in Ukraine has made it to Russia, confirming rumors that have been swirling for weeks, and some U.S. officials have assessed that the delivery is only just the beginning as ‘hundreds’ more are expected to be imported on an undisclosed timeline. Mohajer-6s and the Shahed-series of unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, reportedly make up at least some of the initial shipment, and different variations of the types are capable of various operations including conducting surveillance, strikes, and electronic warfare missions. In this piece, The War Zone will provide an explainer of these systems to try and better understand the role they may play in Ukraine. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/the-drones-russia-is-reportedly-receiving-from-iran-for-its-ukraine-war
