Hmmm....Land and money and support for the families back home. A better deal then most servicemen get anywhere else.

Domestic consumers have started to utilize their savings in order to both maintain consumption levels and keep up with inflation, which in Estonia has been running at well over 20 percent since May and is the highest rate in Europe, according to data from the Bank of Estonia.

The fall [in savings] has been in the region of €10 million to €30 million per month, he added.

Update:

The Shahed’s attacking Odessa today were being coordinated from another drone, a Qods Mohajer-6 UAV.

This drone was reportedly shot down along the coast, as it was returning to Russian territory.

Oleg Kolesnikov, a State Duma deputy from the United Russia party, submitted a request to be sent to the special operation zone in Ukraine.
His words are quoted by the press service of the party.
Kolesnikov said that he served in the Soviet army in Poland and was a commander of a self-propelled artillery gun. He has the rank of major in the reserve.
"And I have to do my duty," he said.

Earlier it was reported that four deputies of the State Duma expressed a desire to go to the zone of a special military operation. [link to russian.rt.com (secure)]

Video shows Ukraine tank convoy hit by Russia, another unsuccessful counteroffensive again?

WASHINGTON, 24 Sep - RIA Novosti. The U.S. Republican Party has filmed a campaign video about America's "exceptionalism," but it included footage from Russia, Ukraine, and Slovakia, the Huffpost writes.
The text about the "rich heritage of American history" was illustrated by an oil rig near Volgograd, and it also featured a boy running with a toy airplane to excerpts from the Declaration of Independence about "freedom and the pursuit of happiness."

The publication suggested that the authors of the video, timed for the midterm elections to Congress, instead of producing unique content, used publicly available selections of "stock" video.
The clip also shows footage of a Slovakian convenience store and a cornfield in Ukraine with the sun setting over it, accompanied by talk about the "dynamism of the American dream.
The video clip appeared on House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's YouTube channel. [link to ria.ru (secure)]

There is a mass movement of U.S. soldiers and equipment in Poland. The recording of American soldiers was published by the "Axe Live" tlgrph channel.

It is difficult to say exactly where these troops are moving and for whom the supplies of equipment are intended. It is possible that the military convoy is heading to the territory of Ukraine to help the AFU.

On the previous day, US President Joe Biden announced the allocation of additional military aid to Kiev worth a total of $775 million.

The military aid package included 16 howitzers, five ScanEagle reconnaissance UAVs, ammunition for Himars multiple rocket launchers, 1,000 Javelin anti-tank missiles, HARMs, and 40 armored vehicles with enhanced mine protection. [link to www.osnmedia.ru (secure)]

Unmanned boats discovered and destroyed in the Black Sea are capable of sinking a warship.

Unmanned drones detected a few days ago in the Black Sea and on the coast of Crimea pose a very serious threat because they are, in fact, floating bombs capable of destroying even large warships. That would make them especially dangerous at night, since they could be difficult to detect and at the same time they could be carrying a huge quantity of explosives that, if detonated below the waterline, not only would seriously damage the ship but lead to a rapid sinking of the ship as well.

Situation and news from Liman in September 24, 2022
The AFU is trying to develop an offensive against the positions of the RF Armed Forces on the eastern bank of the Oskol River. However, units of the 20th Army not only held back the enemy's attacks, but also drove it back to its original lines.

The enemy's motorized infantry made another attempt to attack the Russian positions near Redkodub and Karpovka from the direction of Lozovaya, but it was pushed back to its starting position.

In the fields west of Koroviy Yar and Karlovka, there are counterattacks by mobile groups of the Russian Armed Forces and the AFU.

The village of Drobyshevo and surrounding villages are held by reservists from BARS-13, who previously fought in the vicinity of Bogorodichnoye. For four days of active combat, the AFU failed to break through the frontline. Enemy units entrenched themselves in the outskirts of the village of Novoselovka. In Novoselovka and Drobyshevo, the AFU launched artillery and missile strikes, using phosphorus ammunition.

Russian artillery struck massively at units of the 66th AFU detachment, which were forming in combat formation near the village of Shchurovo for a subsequent attack on Liman from the south. The enemy suffered significant losses in manpower and equipment. Another attempted offensive on Liman was thwarted.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces threw all their reserves into combat in an attempt to further their success in the Kharkiv direction in order to capture Kupyansk and Liman and reach the operational space in the territory of the Lugansk People's Republic.

Heavy, bloody fighting is taking place all along the front. [link to mihail-onufrienko.ru (secure)]

Russians seem to have advantage with night vision gear. The US is providing so much stuff but none of this gear apparently

Yesterday the enemy continued its attempts to break the front line of the RF Armed Forces near Krasny Liman, but no significant results were achieved. Everywhere it encountered dense barrier fire, and attempts to break through in the area of Novoselovka-Drobyshevo resulted in significant losses.
Also, according to updated data, the enemy has not yet taken control of the village of Koroviy Yar. This is from the good news.
From the bad news... In the morning, huge columns of the AFU "troops" have been traveling from Kharkiv to Izyum, which will obviously be thrown into the "final assault" of Liman, tomorrow at most, in order to sweeten the pill of political defeat in connection with the referendums held by Russia. (Yuri Podolyaka)

Heavy fighting near Krasny Liman does not stop:
- The Ukrainian Armed Forces have created bridgeheads on our bank of the Seversky Donets, continuing to ferry equipment.
- The enemy is attacking from several directions, trying to take the city in a ring and cut off our Liman grouping.
- The enemy storms Novoselovka, the village is divided in half and turned into ruins.
- The enemy attacks and shells Drobyshevo, which is held by volunteers of the "Russian Legion" detachment ("Bars-13").
- The Kuban detachment ("Bars-16") fights on the outskirts of Krasny Liman and carries out sorties, destroying T-62s, BTR-80s and an 82mm pickup truck.
- Both sides are actively using artillery.
- The Ukrainian Armed Forces use HIMARS MLRS on our reconnaissance sites in Liman and Drobyshevo.
- The artillery of the "Dare" and the LNR military are pounding the advancing enemy forces.
- Group O Special Forces continue raids, destroying AFU forces in the rear.
- Both our and Ukrainian forces are pulling up reserves.
