## Resource

In this episode of Frontline Updates, Colonel A.C. Oguntoye returns to walk through Combat Briefing Number 1509, dated 15 September 2026. The conversation opens with the overall operational picture before moving sector by sector through the North, West, South, Center, East, and Dnepr group areas. A dedicated segment examines operational-tactical aviation and the deep-strike campaign as a campaign-shaping domain rather than a supporting element. The episode closes with an assessment of logistics, electronic warfare, Western-supplied equipment attrition, tempo, and the strategic implications of the current phase.
