Ukrainian drone manufacturers Vyriy and "Fourth Law" announced the launch of mass production for drones equipped with a new guidance system between 10:31 AM and 10:45 AM UTC on September 15th, 2025. The companies made the announcement via their social media channels, with the development aiming to enhance drone capabilities. This production launch coincides with China's firm rejection of U.S. calls for G7 and NATO nations to impose secondary tariffs on purchases of Russian oil. Beijing's commerce ministry urged Washington to act "prudently" and resolve disputes through dialogue, vowing to defend China's rights and interests if pressured. Earlier today, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski urged NATO to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine, a proposal met with warnings from Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia's Security Council, that such a move would constitute a war between NATO and Russia. President Donald Trump reiterated his call for increased NATO and European support for Ukraine and criticized their continued purchase of Russian oil. In the conflict zone, Ukrainian forces are advancing west of Volodymyrivka, potentially threatening Russian units with encirclement, while a residential building in Druzhkivka, Donetsk Oblast, was damaged by a Russian drone. Belarus hosted representatives from 23 states, including the USA, Turkey, and Hungary, to observe the "West-2025" military exercises near Borisov. Ministry of Defense of Belarus shared photos and videos of military-diplomatic missions observing troop actions. Concurrently, a Ukrainian partisan group, "Atesh," reported conducting reconnaissance of the Black Sea Fleet's 758th Center for Material and Technical Support in Sevastopol, noting an "almost complete absence of equipment."
