BREAKING MILITARY NEWS - October 17th 2025

In today’s explosive update from The Military Show, we break down FOUR of the biggest military developments shaking the global stage:

00:00 Russia’s Far East is FALLING Into Xi & Kim's Hands... Putin Can’t Stop It

When Russia invaded Ukraine, Putin believed victory was inevitable. Years later, isolation and war have forced him to depend on China and North Korea for survival. Now, according to Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service, Russia’s Far East is slipping away as Beijing and Pyongyang gain control through investment, labor, and influence. What began as Putin’s “pivot to the East” may end with Russia losing nearly half its territory. The question is—can Putin stop it?

16:20 Ukraine’s PERFECT Trap... Russian BATTALION Walked Straight Into Hell

Russia’s latest mechanized assault on the Dobropillia region ended in disaster. Attempting to seize the settlement of Shakhove, Russian forces sent 22 armored vehicles into what became a deadly trap. Ukraine’s Azov National Guard and 82nd Air Assault Brigade used drones, artillery, and mines to annihilate the attack, destroying nine vehicles and halting Russia’s advance. With rising casualties and dwindling armor reserves, Russia’s campaign toward Pokrovsk is collapsing fast. But this failure may only be the beginning…

33:03 You Won’t Believe What UKRAINE Just Did for the US Military

Ukraine and the U.S. have unveiled Artemis — a new AI-powered long-range strike drone set for mass production after successful testing announced on October 16, 2025. Developed by Ukraine in partnership with U.S. defense tech firm Auterion, the drone boasts a 1,000-mile range and an 88-pound payload, matching the best in Ukraine’s arsenal.

What sets Artemis apart is its advanced software — the Auterion Visual Navigation system and Skynode N mission computer — allowing pinpoint targeting even in GPS-denied environments. With manufacturing lines being established in Ukraine, the U.S., and Germany, the Artemis marks a pivotal shift in drone warfare and signals renewed military collaboration between Kyiv and Washington.

51:27 Putin’s Control of Russia is SLIPPING... Kremlin Can’t Hide It Anymore

After 25 years in power, Vladimir Putin faces unprecedented pressure as Russia’s war in Ukraine continues into 2025. With more than 1.1 million Russian casualties and 332,000 dead and wounded this year alone, even the Kremlin can’t disguise the scale of failure. Polls show 66% of Russians favor peace talks, signaling rising discontent.

Economic sanctions, a fuel crisis, and repeated battlefield losses have left Putin isolated. Analysts warn the next two months in Donbas could define the war’s future, with failure potentially forcing a ceasefire before year’s end. Russia’s elites and citizens alike are questioning the regime’s direction — and Putin’s ability to lead through collapse.
