Ukraine new type of weapon.
This week alone, modified Neptune anti-ship cruise missiles were said to have struck the Conroe Trader fuel carrying ferry near Crimea and a Russian base in the Kursk region, as well as an S-300 air defense system in the Rostov Region.
Ukraine has also carried out attacks using conventional long-range drones in Crimea and Tatarstan, as well as the Olenya airfield some 1,800 kilometers (1,125 miles) away from the border with Ukraine.
25-08-2024, 11:29 PM
Ukraine president said: “It is both a drone and a missile… and there will be more missile drones, just as there are already more long-range attack. This weapon its the next step in the evolution of Ukrainian defense tech. We were looking forward to the moment when we [can] demonstrate its effectiveness to the enemy.”

Spring seem like is in Ukraine in August?. During August, Ukraine got usually offers good weather overall temperatures an reasonably high (75 - 81F) along much of the frontline in the east. As Russia possible definitively, those Russian campaign to knock out Ukraine’s power grid try to continue to knock, try but still a failure after still fail after 2.5 years. Now Ukrainian soldiers is trying to size more Russian soldiers & a very big land about 800 k/m on east of Kursk.

Ukraine says it controls 100 Russian settlements after three-week incursion. Ukraine says it now controls 100 Russian settlements & 1,294 sq k/m of Russian territory (500 square miles)
The incursion into the Kursk region began three weeks ago - last week, President Zelensky said Ukraine controlled more than 1,250 sq km of Russian territory. Ukraine's commander in chief Oleksandr Syrskyi also says Ukraine has captured 594 Russian soldiers
Earlier, Russia launched another wave of strikes on Ukraine, with four people killed, a day after one of its biggest air attacks of the war. Zelensky says Kyiv will "undoubtedly respond to Russia for this and all other attacks"
A lightening offensive into Russian territory - the deepest into Russia since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion in 2022. The surprise move is said to have involved 10,000 elite Ukrainian troops, and took ground quickly. But the pace of the advance has since slowed.
Kyiv's top military commander says Ukrainian troops now control 1,294 sq km (500 sq miles) of Russian territory and 100 settlements in the Kursk region - a larger area than Russia has gained in Ukraine so far this year. He also says the advance is continuing, and around 594 Russian servicemen have been captured there. Ukraine has previously said it has no intention of holding onto the territory and that one motivation for the incursion is to distract Russia's forces away from their own offensive in eastern Ukraine, which is continuing.
Russia has vowed to respond - the nature of that has not been specified, but the last two days have seen an increase in aerial attacks on Ukraine.

BREAKING: F-16 fighter jet crashes in Ukraine, military confirms. The first General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcons received by Ukraine fly on Ukraine's Air Force Day on Aug. 4, 2024 in an unspecified location in Ukraine. One of the F-16 fighter jets recently delivered to Ukraine crashed while repelling a Russian mass attack, Ukraine's General Staff confirmed on Aug. 29. The confirmation came after earlier media reports that the aircraft crashed during Russia's drone and missile strike on Aug. 26.
According to the military, the F-16 shot down four Russian cruise missiles during the attack, demonstrating "high efficiency." "During the approach to the next target, communication with one of the jets was lost. As it turned out later, the plane crashed, the pilot was killed," the General Staff said. The crash site was not disclosed.
Earlier the same day, Ukraine's Air Force announced that pilot Oleksii Mes with the call sign "Moonfish" had been killed on Aug. 26.

Ukraine's Air Force spotted 11 Tu-95MS strategic bombers in Russian airspace at around 5 a.m. on Aug. 26. In less than three hours, Ukraine was under the largest aerial attack since the start of the full-scale war, with 127 missiles and 109 drones flying into Ukraine attack Ukrainian cities far from the front, the Kremlin uses strategic bombers and fighter jets stationed deep inside Russia, along with ground launchers closer to the border.
With a U.S. ban on missile strikes deep inside Russia still in place, to minimize Russia's capacity to launch mass attacks, Ukraine is forced to employ domestically produced drones to target airfields and launch sites. Over the past year, Ukraine has managed to substantially increase domestic production of drones, now capable of hitting targets 1,800 kilometers (1,119 miles) away, according to Ukrainian military intelligence.
With dozens of Russian airfields now bombarded by Ukraine, Russian forces are forced to look for new solutions to protect their aircraft, pulling them further away from Kyiv's reach.
How effective are Ukrainian drones?
Two out of five Russian airfields located in occupied Crimea are now functioning "at a minimum capacity" due to constant attacks by Ukrainian forces, Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk said on Aug. 13. And if Ukraine can keep attacking Crimean airfields, Russia will be forced to stop using them, Peter Layton, associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) and former Australian Air Force officer, told the Kyiv Independent.
However, despite successfully making some Russian airfields unusable, Russia has plenty more. Russia operates 42 airfields, including those in Belarus and the occupied Crimean peninsula, with 28 of them able to station strategic bombers and fighter jets, retired military officer and defense expert Viktor Kevliuk told the Kyiv Independent. Kursk incursion and Crimea strikes could ease pressure on Ukraine’s Donbas forces Russia still has over 1,000 warplanes at its disposal, according to the Military Balance 2024 overview, and numerous airfields still out of Ukraine's reach.
Ukraine carried out at least five strikes on Russian airfields in August, which were confirmed to the Kyiv Independent by a military intelligence source familiar with Kyiv's operations on Russian soil. On Aug. 14, Ukraine launched its largest aerial attack against Russia so far. Ukrainian drones struck four airfields, including Savasleyka, located nearly 665 kilometers (413 miles) from the border with Ukraine. Russian Ministry claimed shot down 117 drones and four tactical missiles. Ukraine did not disclose what equipment was used during the attack. Despite hundreds of drones being launched, only a handful usually reach their targets, hitting aircraft, runways, ammunition, or fuel depots.
Engels-2 airfield in Russia in 2024. Kevliuk compared the recent Ukrainian attacks to a "mosquito bite." However, he still assessed the effectiveness of Ukraine's strikes as "acceptable," considering the weapons used and the consequences they brought. Defense expert Andrii Kharuk said that Ukraine's current tactics of striking Russian air bases seem to be effective. However, the results are difficult to measure because satellite images do not clearly show all the destruction. "In any case, it is to some extent easier to destroy or damage Russian aircraft, which carry guided aerial bombs, at an airfield than to catch it in Russian airspace, several dozen kilometers from the front line," Kharuk told the Kyiv Independent.
"Strikes on airfields could have been considered unjustified some time ago when we had insufficient drone resources. Now, when we see hundreds of Ukrainian drones hitting targets at night, it is certainly possible to strike airfields, hitting their aircraft," Kharuk added. One of the drones' biggest disadvantages is their speed. According to Kharuk, unmanned aerial vehicles can be detected several hours before an attack, allowing planes and helicopters to redeploy. Who needs warships when you’ve got drones? Russia loses control over Black Sea. Changing strategies
In response to Ukrainian attacks, Russia mainly takes operational measures, which include aircraft redeployment, camouflage, covering the planes with tires to protect them from kamikaze drones, and strengthening air defense in territories closer to Ukraine. Russian forces also draw aircraft silhouettes on airfields to mislead the opponent and construct metal covers, which are easier to build than concrete ones. "If there are two dozen covers at the airfield, it is unclear which one is used to hide the aircraft,"

An unnamed White House official told Politico news website “90% of the planes that launch glide bombs” against Ukrainian front-line positions had been moved back inside Russia. Independent analysis website Frontelligence agreed “between 2nd half of June & mid-July, Russian forces relocated many valuable assets away from the Ukrainian border,” including planes & helicopters. Ukrainian Colonel Vitaly Sarantsev told a joint news telethon broadcast by Ukrainian channels Kursk offensive had greatly reduced Russia’s use of aviation against northeastern Ukraine.
“We felt relief in tactical aviation,” he said on Sunday. “The enemy has significantly reduced its use in our direction. If in previous periods 30 to 50 antiaircraft missiles per day only [in Sumy region], yesterday enemy used air strikes twice, using four antiaircraft missiles & 11 unguided air missiles.” Units operating in hotly contested Chasiv Yar in the eastern region of Donetsk have also reported a drop in glide bombs this month. A spokesman for Siversk tactical group, said: “a sign we thinning out their air force & hitting airfields, & pushed the enemy away from the border a little.”

Russian troops forced to retreat in Vovchansk after failed. Russian troops being transported into the embattled town of Vovchansk in Kharkiv Oblast were forced to retreat after suffering losses, Ukraine claimed on Aug. 29. Russian soldiers were traveling in two tanks and two other armored vehicles "as part of preparations for assault operations."
It did not specify how many Russian troops were killed during the engagement. Vovchansk is an embattled town some 60 kilometers (37 miles) northeast of Kharkiv that has seen heavy battles since Russia launched a new offensive in the area in May. Russian offensive in northern Kharkiv Oblast has quickly bogged down, with Russian troops reportedly suffering heavy losses.
The intensity of fighting has decreased somewhat compared to other sectors, though several reports of Russia preparing new attacks have emerged since then. Some observers believe that the offensive helped to stretch Ukrainian forces as Russia intensified its push in Donetsk Oblast, focusing on towns like Pokrovsk, Toretsk, and Chasiv Yar.

Zelensky's Kursk incursion could be playing into Putin's hands. Vladimir Putin's sluggish response to the first foreign occupation of Russian territory since World War II suggests he is more focused on the opportunities Volodymyr Zelensky's incursion into Kursk may present elsewhere on the front line.
Putin and Ukraine's allies were caught off guard by Kyiv's push into the region on August 6 leading to the capture of around 500 square miles, 100 settlements and 594 prisoners of war according to Ukrainian Commander Oleksandr Syrski.
Ukraine faces awkward questions over Moscow's advances in Donetsk city of Pokrovsk Institute for Study of War (ISW) said Russian forces continue to make "significant tactical advances" southeast of the city which is a critical road and rail hub for Ukrainian troops. The open-source pro-Ukrainian Conflict Intelligence Team said is sending a brirdge on same day that the situation in the Pokrovsk direction was "increasingly dangerous" for Kyiv's forces.
Putin is not diverting forces from axis attacking toward Pokrovsk," Nico Lange, chief of staff for Germany's defense until 2022. He's trying to use forces from somewhere else, or he is saying, 'OK let's deal with Kursk later—now Pokrovsk is more important. Lange, non-resident senior fellow at Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA), said it can take mths to judge whether Zelensky's attack on Kursk. he told Newsweek

In The Chaos Of the Kursk Invasion, Fast-Moving Ukrainians Captured Seven Russian Tanks—And Gave Up 10 Infantry Vehicles. The captures have slowed as the Kursk front stabilizes. More than three weeks into Ukraine’s surprise invasion of Russia’s Kursk Oblast, the Ukrainian advance is slowing as Ukrainian battalions reach the end of their supply lines and dig in—and more Russian reinforcements arrive along the increasingly entrenched front line.
There’s a good chance that, in the coming weeks, the line of contact around Ukraine’s Kursk salient will begin to look like the front line along the edge of most of Russian-occupied Ukraine: fortified and static and deadly to any force that dares to leave its positions. The Pokrovsk sector in eastern Ukraine is the exception to the overall calcification of the front, of course. There, the Russians continue to advance against disorganized Ukrainian defenders at a rate that has caused a lot of hand-wringing and finger-pointing in Kyiv and allied capitals.
The hardening of the Kursk front line belies how fluid it was just 2-weeks ago, in early days of the surprise Ukrainian assault. To understand the chaos, look at list of captured armored vehicles on both sides. As Ukrainian units raced into Kursk, surprised Russian units.

Societal discontent rises in Russia after Ukraine's Kursk incursion, ISW says. Societal discontent has risen in Russia since start of Ukraine's incursion into Kursk Oblast, and is being acknowledged in Kremlin-public polling, the Institute for the Study of War reported on Aug. 31. Another recorded a drop in Russian President Vladimir Putin's approval rating of 3.5% to 73.6%, a record drop since the start of the full-scale invasion.
According to polls cited by the ISW, "outrage or dissatisfaction" with Russian authorities has risen from 18% of respondents on July 12, to 28% on Aug. 25, the highest levels seen since the hugely unpopular mobilization in November of 2022.
The ISW caveats the polling by saying they do not suggest "particularly pronounced discontent," and cautions against the reliability of Kremlin-conducted surveys.

This week alone, modified Neptune anti-ship cruise missiles were said to have struck the Conroe Trader fuel carrying ferry near Crimea and a Russian base in the Kursk region, as well as an S-300 air defense system in the Rostov Region.
Is He, Lukashenko Lost His Mind?. Even Putin Didn't Expect This. Ukraine has also carried out attacks using conventional long-range drones in Crimea and Tatarstan, as well as the Olenya airfield some 1,800 kilometers (1,125 miles) away from the border with Ukraine.

We will clean, restore, then beat them’ – Kyiv’s Muslims defiant after Russian attack damages mosque. The collapsed ceiling in the male prayer hall of the Islamic Cultural Center, damaged by a Russian missile attack, in Kyiv, Ukraine on Sep. 2, 2024. They are barbarians," 80-year-old Mustafa Dzhemilev tells the Kyiv Independent on Sept. 2, as he assesses the damage caused to the Islamic Cultural Center in Kyiv by a Russian missile attack in the early hours of the morning.
"If they targeted a children's hospital, why wouldn’t they destroy a cultural center?" he adds, referencing the attack on Okhmatdyt, Ukraine’s largest children’s hospital, on July 8. The Islamic Cultural Center is a prominent hub for Ukrainian Muslims and is considered a main religious location for Crimean Tatar Muslims in the country outside of Russian-occupied Crimea. Early in the morning on Sept. 2, explosions sounded in waves across Kyiv as air defenses intercepted incoming Russian missiles. Ukraine's Air Force said it detected 35 missiles of various types and 23 attack drones launched across the country. Nine Iskander ballistic missiles, 13 Kh-101 cruise missiles, and 20 drones were downed, the Air Force said.
Three people were injured in the attack, authorities reported, with falling debris damaging other buildings across the capital. The damage to the Islamic Cultural Center was caused by a shock wave when a missile landed in the yard of a building behind it, creating a crater over 20 feet wide and partly collapsing the structure, shattering windows, and bringing down pieces of ceiling in the prayer halls.
