Two events occurred at Bryansk on what apparently is the Icon of the Joy of All Who Sorrow with Coins.
That indicates heavenly assistance from the many desert-dwellers who lived in the Bryansk forests in the early 1800s due to the repressive, anti-monastic policies of the Tsars at that time, who disliked the Church intensely.
These poor monks were forced to flee to an uncomfortable location, never knowing whether sheriffs would hunt them down at any moment.
In fact, from Elder Moses of Optina's memoirs, we know that at least one sheriff was out hunting the group of desert-dwellers which included the future Abbot of Optina.
But, Elder Moses, related, God confused the mind of that policeman so much that he rode his horse around in circles, thus never coming upon the monastics' hut.
So maybe on these modern occasions, St Moses and St Anthony of Optina, who were both patriotic during their lifetimes, along with any other holy elders who struggled in Bryansk 200 years ago have now stepped in from the other world to assist the Russian forces.

"The Russian Defense Ministry reported that air defense systems shot down 24 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 13 over Bryansk, seven over Rostov, and two over Kaluga and Smolensk."
"Russia’s FSB has detained a citizen who planned to assassinate the director of a defense plant in Belgorod.
The suspect had contacted a banned pro-Ukrainian terrorist group and retrieved weapons and explosives dropped by a drone in Bryansk — but was caught red-handed."
The clip showed a case with a revolver being recovered, along with other dangerous items
