Though, on other hand US military officials claimed in March about 89 % of hits by UKR Javelin operators (100 hits from 112 launches) New military aid package icludes 1000 TOW missiles (alas, not pointed what exactly)

Results of yesterday strike on Russian ammo dump in Belgorod oblast. This turned out not military base of 752nd MRR of 3rd MRD near Solotino village as was previously geolocated, but NW from nearby Timonovo village. Near it is located some facilities, which didn't mark on Wikimapia, but looks like new-built storages of ammo dump. Russians reportedly moved part of ammunition to the forest, but this didn't save it. "Cigarettes" hit exactly the forest. Video from thermal camera Ammo dump near Timonovo SAR image of burning place in the forest before and after

Add to this night strike on 17-18th Aug on Amvrossivka, Donetsk oblast - 72 km from nearest part of frontline and 44 km SE from Donetsk And Stakhanov (Kaddivka), Luhansk oblast

There is also version this local transport depot was set on fire. There wasn't military objects here, but maybe Russians used this civilan object for military purposes

Kerch

Hmm... two destroyed armor ahead.... Nevermind! We are Russians! God with us! Move forward! Zolotorivka outskirts, Luhansk oblast (Lysychansk area). Filming of 3rd BTG of 80th air-assault brigade.

Some others UKR SOF and HIMARS strikes: 1. Aug 15. Belgorod oblast, Russia. Kamikadze drone struck TV-transmitter tower near the border. The camera and maybe SIGINT equipment were set on the top, so Russians could track for UKR positions. The tower fell. 2. Governor of Russian Kursk oblast made a statement that railway section was damaged and two power transmission towers were knocked down as a result of diversions 3. Likely HIMARS hit today the former building of SBU in occupied Lysychansk. The building is destroyed completely. Number of losses unknown

As I wrote there no official info about this drones, only that they can fly 6 hours. So, if this is some sort of Harop-style drone with about 200 km range, our SOF operators can launch them out of Crimea, using either US intelligence info or info from local agents (or both)

Some clarifications about todays "cottons" in Crimea. 1. Ammunition depots were struck not in the center of Mayske village (16 km SE from Dzhankoy) but on the village outskirts, were ammo dump was established on the territory of abandoned cow sheds. Locals, which were evacuated from Mayske and Azovske told after detonations began, "soldiers ran away on tanks". So, part of vehicles near railroad had time to escape. But anyway, part of them were destroyed/damaged, because ralway was damaged. Here the first satellite photos of this place before and after attack Almost simultainously with this attack a transformator blew up in Dzhankoy town. Maybe diversion too, maybe accident. 2. Attack on Gvardeyskoye airfield 20 km NW from Simferopol (also you can meet the name Sarabuz - this is old Tatarian name of this settlement, when after deportation in 1944, all Tatarian names in Crimea were substituted on Russian names andSarabuz became Gvardeyskoye). 37th mixed avaition regiment of Black Sea Fleet deployed there with 12 Su-24M and 12 Su-25SM. Information is veru contraversal. Locals wrote they heard loud explosion at 6:35 and then several minor detonations. Some locals wrote the didn't hear anything. Some wrote airfield AD shot down kamikadze drone. Some wrote there were two drones - one was shot down, other hit target and set on fire something (a jet, a truck, a roof in barrack - different versions). After explosion helicopters took off from airfield. Here the single photo with smoke in direction of airfield. No fireballs and huge detonations. But looks like locals can't write what exactly happened. I more and more think this is work of SOF teams with Phoenix Ghost loitering munitions and probably dierct diversions

Wagner PMC HQ was HIMARSed in Popasna. Russian military corerspondent showed on his photos the area around this building as far as on 8h Aug. Number of losses unknown Also UKR HIMARSed yesterday the school building in the village Krynychne 6 km from Stakhanov (Kadiivka), which used for troops deployment. Locals write at least 11 dead (this is only the number, which was recovered from ruines by emergency service and some number was recovered by military) Today HIMARS has struck some object in Makiivka city, where DPR troops were deployed, locals write about 12 KIA and 13 WIA

Locals write this is not UKR strike or diversion, just some works in the port near the place of Saratov landing ship wreckage. Reportedly some sort of oil remains was accidentally set on fire.

The column of UKR M1224

Antonivskyi bridge in Kherson under HIMARS attack. Russian AD tries to intercept missiles, but several missiles hit the bridge

22nd mot.inf. battalion of 92nd mech.brigade destroyed Russian MTLB with 2B9 automatic mortar. Kharkiv axis.

As well as +4 Slovakian Zuzana 2 155/45 SP-howitzers ..and US MRAPs M1224. According to hints of Taras Chmut, chief of Back-and-Alive volunteer fund, Ukraine will receive about two hundreds M1224 ...And +50 Turkish Kirpi MRAPs. 150 more will be delivered soon. Reportedly marines of 35th and 36th brigades alredy use Kirpi.

In previous day UKR artillery have struck DPR base on Stirol plant in Horlivka, today the other base in this city was hit on territory of "Uglesnab" enterprise (on the photo). On other hand, DPR troops from this city (3rd MRB) yestreday could almost completely to seize Zaytseve settlement - northern outskirt of Horlivka. Before a war DPR controlled about 60 % of it.

Nova Kakhovka strike. Ammo dump in Industrial zone was hit

One more version, what could be used for Novofedorivka strike and for todays deep strikes - is loitering minition Phoenix Ghost, which USA Aevex Aerospace company produces specially for Ukraine and as if according to Ukrainian "whishlist". There is still no info about this project, but one civil volunteer, who supply SOF, hinted exactly this drone is causing "uncertainity" (C) The_CAPT among Russians. As if this LM can fly up to 6 hours and probably more than 200 km, and as if it close to Israely HAROP. Of, course it is just RUMINT, but at least todays multiple deep strikes are not because of using of hypothetical Hrim-2, which if it exists, should be used only for realy startegic strikes like on Novofedorivka First mentions about Phoenix Ghost appeared in April-May, but about appering this LM in Ukriaine our media wrote after 20th of July. Looks like exactly about this time Phoenix Ghosts and their crews became combat ready Initially was known about 121 drone, now media write about 580 This is just illustrative photo, because under Phoenix Ghost different articles give different designs of drones

Reportedly UKR forces have struck throughout the hour several targets on occupied territory of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. Melitopol' (80 km from closest point of frontline) - explosion in the building of enlistment office (reportesdly diversion) Ivanivka (100 km) - hit of troops deployment and ammo dump Nyzhni Sirohozy (90 km), Velyka Blahovishchenka (65 km), Chkalove (125 km), Chaplynka (110 km), Novotroyitske (140 km) There is no information what exacly was hit it theese villages and settlements and what weapon was used. Also Nova Kakhovka was twice for today uder the strikes. Reportedly in Mariuol was heard loud explosion, allegedly because of partisan diversion.

There are no jets here. Lukashenko handed over this base to Russia and reportedly only AD, EW and likely missile units are deployed here with some ground forces for security

@sburke Lt.colonel Anatoliy Vasin, 16th Guard Spetsnaz brigade, Western Military District. Got lost Jul 5

Ziabrovka airfield in Belarus after probable UKR strike. T-72 is seen on runway, being destroyed because of ammo detonation. Burned grass aside runway. No other signs of destroyed vehicles. Though is a question - what the tank did on runway? Maybe it try to get out something burning from runway?

@sburke Lt.colonel Vyacheslav Proskuryakov, chief of EW service. Pointed, he served in Karachayevo-Cherkesiya Republic on Caucaus. The single ground forces unit, deployed in this republic is 34th motor-rifle brigade (mountain). So, more likely he was brigade's chief of EW service and got killed in Kherson oblast - Snihurivka, Inhulets bridgehead or Vysokopollia areas - locations were 34th brigade was involved in different times.
