  1. It's claimed video from inside of M113, when it was hit by ATGM, but more likely this was a mine. No killed, but cameramen got a wound of the leg
  2. President Zelenskiy made a statement today, that new UKR misisile succesfully hit target on 700 km range. Oleksiy Danilov, Secrter of National Security Council has issued a video with, as claimed, the launch of this missile Maybe the strike on Pskov could be combined - this missile + drones. Except burned and damaged planes, were hits in airfield fuel depot and also into weapon storage of 2nd Spetsnaz brigade base, deployed in Pskov along with 76th air-assault division
  3. Result of strike on Pskov airbase, from optical and SAR shots
  4. Soldier throws a grenade, but it hit the tree and ricocheted back to soldier. He had good reaction
  5. Next combat episode of 3rd assault brigade in two parts Writings over the video: Call of Duty is a pathetic parody on 3rd OShB (separate assault brigade)
  6. Frontline change for last two days on Velyka Novosilka diorection. While UKR troops hammer Russian positions on Zavitne Bazhannia - Staromlynivka - Novodonetske line with artillery and aviation without attempts of decisive assaults, that on western flank UKR advance between Pryyutne toward Volodyne forced Russian command to give order for withdrawal of own trops from the hills along ponds and from flank of Staromayorske. Russian logistic lines turned out under danger, so "no step back" order will paly evil joke with Russians in future, so their command gave enough logical order. So, now while main Russian forces withdraw, their screening forces tie UKR troops from fast advance.
  7. Historically 31st air-assault brigade had own origins in Soviet 104th airborne division. If Russia is mobilizing monthly 20-22 southands of people, they will not have enough problems to expand brigade "shtat" to divisional. What about IFVs, this is interest question... To rise production of BMD-4M/ BTR-MDM to maintain divisional set... I doubt.
  8. One more video of Feodosia power facility hit Locals also reported about sounds of somethong in the sky toward Russian new-built military base in Pereval'ne (rus.Pereval'noye) and shooting in area of the base. Recently UKR drones "Bober" already hit this base, were deployed 126th coastal defense brigade. GUR claimed about "dozens killed and wounded Russians", but local TGs in that time told about 3 killed, unknown number of wounded and two destroyed trucks.
  9. No info about Rostov, but we have explosions in Bryansk again. Locals report it was in TV-center area Unknown missile flies over Feodosia in Crimea. Local authorities reported UKR UAV was shot down, but fragments broke powerlines and caused fire in the building near Kerch highway Fire in Feodosia
  10. Damn, next aviation crash. Two Mi-8 helicopters of 18th army avaiation brigade have fallen down by unknown reason near Kramatorsk, Donetsk oblast. Six men - two crews, are lost. Investgation is opened. It could be collision, diversion or using of extreme long-range (300 km) R-37M missiles, having 300 km of range - there were several incidents, when our jets and helicopters were shot down with this missiles from Russian territory. R-37M can be launched from MiG-31BM and Su-35
  11. Yes I've found in comments that this is old photo and edited my post. Though, the look of Pskov IL-76, I supose, was enough similar )
  12. GUR claimed in night attack on Pskov airfield 4 IL-76 were destroyed and 2 damaged
  13. Likely situation in Verbove is getting worse for Russians On this video Russians filmed out of Verbove, how Russian helicopters and MLRS shell UKR forces in EASTERN part of village (the wrinting of twitter author this is UKR shells Russians is wrong).
  14. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, while on a visit in France, told a story, how small group of 31 fighters maintained success in Robotyne, after weeks of unsuccessful assaults ...One Ukrainian unit had been conducting continuous assaults in this area of the front, and due to exhaustion and losses, at some point, this unit lost the ability to continue the offensive. And then "radical decisions" were made: the unit's leadership was changed. New commander asked to assemble soldiers who were motivated and ready to perform combat missions. A combined group of 31 soldiers was created, a third of whom had no combat experience, but all of whom had the knowledge and will to win. Thanks to the leadership of the commanders and sergeants, this group established "horizontal links" with neighbouring units and started working on the contact line. For 18 hours, they crawled literally on their stomachs through kilometres of minefields, where the Russians had placed six mines per square metre. Finally, the unit reached a strip of trees dividing farmers' fields. Everyone in Ukraine knows this word - "posadka" ("tree-plant, tree-line"). It’s in these plantations, invisible on maps, that the greatest tragedies and heroism of the war take place. So, our unit drove the Russians out of there and held the position for two days until reinforcements arrived. Subsequently, this group walked another 10 kilometres with backpacks weighing 35-40 kilograms through minefields. They only had time to catch their breath briefly and immediately stormed the fortified Russian positions, drove the enemy out and held out until the main forces arrived. In total, this unit conducted six assaults and two reconnaissance missions in 40 days. A group of 31 men did the work of an entire battalion, which should have consisted of about 400 men. The losses amounted to seven wounded, including only one seriously injured after stepping on a mine. In fact, the work of this group made it possible for an entire brigade to attack Robotyne and liberate it after weeks of assaults. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/08/30/7417687/
  15. Russian TG Verbovoye can become the second Rabotino UKR TGs (RUMINT) - "Surovikin line" has been breached in four places - part of Verbove already grey zone - we have some succes in fields on east and south-east from Novoprokopivka
  16. The battle for Verbove is very hard. Add also +33..35 of heat in sahdow. One of our serviceman responding on reports of General Staff that "UKR troops had success near Verbove", writes "... But it's like modern battle of the Somme"
  17. A video was posted here recently - interview with Marines, who received these vehicles. They praised it, pointing out its speed, maneuverability and accurate shooting of gun.
  18. This night Russia conducted retaliation combined strike with Shakheds and cruise missiles. Loud night was in Kyiv too. Over the city and around were intercepted 20 aerial targets. Alas, in Kyiv parts of downed missile killes two citizens, also in Kyiv and oblast several citizens were injured by fragments of broken windows. Odesa was under attack two, reportedly 8 missiles were intercepted over the sea. Total Russians have launched 28 Kh-101/Kh-555 missiles (all were intercepted) and 16 Shakeds (15 were intercepted)
  19. Reportedly factory "Kremniy EL" was hit, producing microelectronic parts, chips and semiconductors. 90 % of production uses in defense industry. Particularly in missiles Topol-M, Bulava, avionics of fighter jets MiG and Su, in SAMs S-300/400, Pantsyr S1 Russians claimed just downed drone fell on the factory
  20. Explosions in Pskov in airport area PS. Russian milbloggers write about 21 kamikadze drone attack. Some hysterically claim drones were launched from NATO country (Estonia is closest) Moment of strike. Airfield "Kresty" ("Crosses") on SE outskirt of Pskov - home base of 334th military transport aviation regiment of 61st Air Army of Air Command.
  21. Russia blocked Kerch bridge against maritime drones along the place of last strike, sinking several barges as booms and stretching the nets between them
  22. Hmmm.... Well this is RUMINT, but let it bee There are two settlements on the south, its names very similar. Here and there we have very good news, await for official info. He obviously means Novoprokopivka and Novopokrovka. But I didn't hear any other source claimed significant succes on these directions.
  23. Tatarigami adds own thread to analysys of Russian defense lines. In short - you should take into accont not only visible fortification on satellite shots, but that almost each tree-plant also has own trench for infantry or at least positions for ATGMs and other heavy infantry weapon teams
  24. Small "nuke" after FPV drone of 14th mech.brigade hit Russian Msta-S. Location - near Sofiivka village, Luhask oblast, Kupiansk direction Russian offensive on Kupiansk still bogging, though many experts say main goal was not new contact line along Oskol river (but desired), but to force Ukrainian command to move reserves here, which could be involved on the south or in some other place. Partially they could achieve this
  25. Video of interception of Russian Orlan UAV by MiG-29 with AA missile. The pilot of this jet was Andriy Pil'shchikov ("Juice"). He was buried today. He had a rank of captain and had been flying on MiG-29 since 2016. Since Feb 24 he had about 500 hours of combat flights.
