A smart automated turret operated by the Pomsta Border Guard Brigade's Oberih unit downed a Shahed near the Kharkiv-Donetsk regional border. The turret automatically acquires and tracks the target, leaving the operator to fire. The unit has already downed 9 Shaheds and 8 Gerberas. #Ukraine
Ukraine is short on Patriot interceptors and Lockheed Martin cannot build PAC-3 missiles fast enough for everyone who wants them.
Europe is looking at older PAC-2s. Spain and Greece hold the biggest stocks and Europe wants to send them to Ukraine, Bloomberg. 1/
🚨🇺🇦🎯 Ukraine has knocked out two Russian Pantsir-S1 air-defense systems in just two days, striking one in occupied Crimea and another in Russia’s Krasnodar region.
The first destroyed Pantsir-S1 was hit by Ukrainian drones on August 29 near Kerch in Crimea. A second system was destroyed on August 30 near the Yeysk airfield in Krasnodar Krai, further degrading short-range air-defense coverage around strategically important Russian military infrastructure.
🔥 Eliminating Pantsir systems is especially valuable because they are designed to protect high-value sites from drones and precision weapons. Every destroyed launcher weakens the defensive shield around Russian airfields, logistics hubs and military facilities, making follow-on Ukrainian strikes easier and more effective.
While Russia’s energy sector burns and its reserves hit a twenty-year floor, the Kremlin has resorted to a desperate theater of the absurd. They call it 'teleporting gasoline,' but it is actually a cynical mirage. In a nation gasping for fuel, the pumps only flow where the Leader walks. Journalists have now timed the lifespan of this miracle: it lasts exactly as long as a photo-op. From the choreographed price drops in Krasnoyarsk to the temporary abundance in Nizhny Novgorod, the message is clear: the regime can no longer fuel the country, so it has decided to hallucinate a recovery—one city, one visit, and one lie at a time.
Ukraine's Defence Forces continue to systematically destroy the aggressor's military and economic potential.
Strikes deep inside enemy territory are a clear strategy for bleeding the Russian war machine dry, Minister of Defence of Ukraine Evgeniy Khmara said.
In the past day alone:
- The Kirishi oil refinery in Leningrad region was hit. That is hundreds of thousands of tonnes of fuel that will never reach Russian tanks.
- A large fire broke out at Yeysk airfield in Krasnodar Krai after a direct hit.
- A Shahed preparation and launch base was struck in Millerovo, Rostov region, one of the sites Russia uses to send drones against Ukraine.
- The "Kover" plan, closed airspace and air raid alerts covered 10 Russian regions at once. Chkalovsky airfield near Moscow and Sochi airfield in Adler suspended operations.
A number of refineries have been hit over the course of this week:
- 25 August — the Afipsky refinery, one of the largest oil processing plants in Krasnodar Krai.
- 26 August — the Kstovo oil refinery, the fourth largest refinery in Russia and the second largest by petrol output.
- 28 August — the Slavneft-YANOS refinery in Yaroslavl.
There is no such thing as a "deep rear" for our Deep Strike systems. The Russian war machine will burn wherever it prepares its crimes.

Kyiv can't catch a break for almost a week now since CIA director left Moscow.
Putin seems pissed after he learned, that can't win in Ukraine
Bad new for Kremlin, since Putin won't stop, and it will be only worst for Russians in coming 2027

NATIONAL FLAG DAY OF UKRAINE | The blue and yellow unite us. They inspire us. They are Ukraine. PRIDE. UNITY. FREEDOM. Today and always.
Remember they were invaded, they need support prayers anything.
- Donald Tusk- PM of Poland
"It is Russia that has rejected every credible peace proposal. Ukraine did not start this war, and Ukraine is not an obstacle to peace.
No one should pressure President Zelensky to make territorial concessions. We must pressure Russia to end its aggression.
The free world must remain united. Any division in support of Ukraine is a gift to Moscow and a risk to our own security.”
Just wow, thank you for your support 🫡
Russian authorities say 3 people were killed following the Ukrainian strike on Yeysk, with one hospitalized. Ukraine earlier confirmed striking fuel tanks at the Yeysk oil terminal complex, saying the facility is involved in supplying the Russian military. #Ukraine
Putin claims Russia’s strikes on Ukraine are effective and timely, and that they help his troops meet frontline tasks.
He says Ukraine’s strikes were meant to break Russia apart, yet gave Kyiv and its handlers no edge and didn’t move the front.
Kyiv “opened Pandora’s box,” he claims, so Russia will hit back at Ukraine’s economic sectors that are already barely breathing, with actions he calls more destructive.
He also claims Ukraine is trying to spoil Russia’s elections, and says only talks based on realities on the ground are acceptable while other proposals are exotic and unacceptable.
