MRSBU: More Russian stuff blowing up, plus Russian airfield targeted in mass drone attack [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-08-29  

Ukraine launched an attack against a Russian airfield in the city of Pskov, which is just east of the border with Estonia. Reports indicate there may have been as many as 21 drones used.

From the video below it looks like there was quite an explosion. They must have hit fuel or ammunition.

Another Russian helicopter goes down.

This flag raising is in an area (near the Antonivskyi bridge) where Ukraine has been fighting for weeks.

x Reported as the left bank of the Kherson region near the Antonivskyi bridge (likely Dachi). The Ukrainian flag is raised.



For several weeks, Ukrainian forces have maintained and expanded a bridgehead there.

Tavriysk is on the left bank of the Dnipro River next to Nova Kakhovka and the blown dam. But there are other Ukrainian towns with similar names, so I don’t know which one this is.

x Russian forces lost 293 personnel on Tavriysk direction during the single day of Aug 28



This includes 50 confirmed fatalities and 243 wounded. Additionally, Russian invaders have lost 25 military vehicles in this direction in Ukraine's south https://t.co/EXzxh85drl — Euromaidan Press (@EuromaidanPress) August 29, 2023

This might be the same Russian self-propelled howitzer in a previous video but this one is a better view.

This is a good thread explaining how the Russian defensive lines in the south are not a complete picture of the defenses that Ukrainian forces are encountering during the counter-offensive. basically every tree line is a defensive line.

x 3/ In my perspective, this tendency can be attributed to the Streetlight effect - an observational bias wherein people exclusively search where it's easiest to look. In the context of satellite imagery, this translates to focusing on only visible defense structures. pic.twitter.com/bBJCE0E1dF — Tatarigami_UA (@Tatarigami_UA) August 29, 2023

x 4/ However, considering on-ground reporting, it's worth noting that virtually every tree line has been fortified to some extent. These fortifications range from concealed positions for ATGM and machinegunner teams to discreet well-protected individual positions — Tatarigami_UA (@Tatarigami_UA) August 29, 2023

What’s for dinner?

Mice.

Damn. We had mice last night.

x Meanwhile on the Dnipro islands. Russian units from the 205th brigade are cooking mice.

Now there is a group on the islands, which at the time of the beginning of the checks was sent there to "set the coordinates of the enemy." The group has set the coordinates, but there is no work on them. Limit - 8 shells per day. Nobody pulls out the group, today they are to devour - they cooked a mouse (and this is not a metaphor).

Mines hit by lightning? Weird.

x The rail bridges near the Belarus-Ukrainian border of Slovechno have been blown up. It is not entirely certain but it is assumed that the TM-62 anti tank mines attached to the bridge were ignited by a lightning. No casualties reported.

Putin was not among the mourners for a decorated Hero of Russia, one of the most decorated men in Russia.

Forcing residents in occupied territories into military service is a war crime, not that Russia cares about that.

You know Ukraine must be advancing if the propaganda parrots start threatening to use tactical nuclear weapons again.

Russia has moved one of its best divisions from the Kreminna area to the southern front to try to blunt the Ukrainian advance.

x Before the offensive, I believed RuAF had plenty of reserves in the area, and I still believe that was true. I think RuAF moving two VDV divisions to defend against the UA advance is a sign of high attrition among the regular RU forces. — Def Mon (@DefMon3) August 28, 2023

He might as well get used to that jail cell.

x Igor Strelkov (Girkin) remains in custody



A court in Moscow has upheld the arrest of the former defense minister of the so-called DPR.



He is accused of calling for extremism. pic.twitter.com/SjUcQohXQi — NEXTA (@nexta_tv) August 29, 2023

Last one in loves Putin!

Hopefully the grandson will never have to go to war.
