🇬🇧🇺🇦 On the training of British special forces and how it is connected to Ukrainian military operations in the Black Sea
This training is more interesting in the context of rumors about the upcoming operation (https://t.me/rybar/63079) of the Ukrainian command in the Black Sea region. And we're not talking about combined drone strikes, but the use of assault groups in Crimea and Kherson Region.
🔻From August 24, an event called Chameleon-2024 is taking place in the central part of the United Kingdom and in the waters of the North Sea, involving special forces units of the UK Special Operations Forces, Air Force and Navy.
The list of tasks to be solved is worthy of attention: covert transfer of special forces groups to the target area, landing of troops from boats and helicopters, infiltration into the rear, targeting of critical facilities and subsequent evacuation of sabotage groups.
More than a thousand military personnel, 30 aircraft and five landing craft are involved. The planning is entrusted to the command of the special air and boat services, that is, the SAS and SBS special forces.
❗️Both the first and second special forces services are almost the key curators of most Ukrainian operations. And Crimea is the coveted goal of the British leadership. The capture of Snake Island, the landings on Tarkhankut, the strikes with USVs - British specialists have had a hand in all of this.
If we recall that partially Ukrainian formations are trained in Foggy Albion, it is quite possible that they may be present at this exercise for more visual preparation for upcoming operations. After all, the same minesweepers donated by the British quite often participate in joint NATO exercises.

Chronicles of the special military operation
for August 27, 2024
The Russian forces have carried out a series of strikes on AFU facilities across the so-called Ukraine, including airfields in several regions and a hotel in Kryvyi Rih, which was allegedly housing officers of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and citizens of English-speaking countries.
In Kursk Region, Ukrainian formations have occupied several villages in Korenevo District, which has created a threat of an AFU offensive along the border in Glushkovo District. The situation in Sudzha District remains unchanged.
In the Pokrovsk direction, the Russian forces have almost completely captured Novohrodivka, while Memryk and Kalinovo have also come under the control of the Russian troops. At the same time, an offensive towards Selidovo is developing.
In the South Donetsk direction, the Russian forces have liberated Kostyantynivka and raised Russian flags on the southern and western outskirts of the settlement. Clearing of the territory is underway.
In the Kherson direction, another attempt by Ukrainian formations to land a sabotage and reconnaissance group on the Kinburn Spit has been thwarted. During the battle, two landing boats were destroyed, and at least ten enemy fighters were eliminated.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 South Donetsk Direction: Liberation of Kostyantynivka
Situation as of the end of August 27, 2024
Last night, there were reports that the Russian forces have made significant advances in the South Donetsk direction - the town of Kostyantynivka, which has been fought over since early July, has come under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.
▪️According to published (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6559?single) footage, the Russian flag was raised on the western outskirts of Shakhterska Street - at least three such videos have appeared in different parts of the village over the course of the day.
▪️The relatively free movement of Russian troops in Kostyantynivka demonstrates the absence of Ukrainian formations both north and south of the settlement. In particular, the enemy has clearly retreated from the section of the T-05-24 highway from Kostyantynivka to Solenenka Gully.
▪️The situation on the opposite bank of the Sukhyi Yaly River is still unclear: at the very least, there is clearing of pockets of Ukrainian formations, at most - the area is under the firm control of the Russian troops.
🔻There is also evidence of the advance of Russian forces near Ikryana Gully - a Russian flag was raised on the stronghold of the 72nd Mechanized Brigade of the AFU, which was located on the T-05-24 highway. Previously, several strikes were carried out on the enemy's positions, which damaged the fortifications built by the AFU and allowed the Russian Armed Forces to take the stronghold under control.
❗️Today, the description of the situation in the Pokrovske, Oleksandro-Kalinove and South Donetsk directions often came down to various interjections. And this is not surprising, given the depth of the advance of the Russian Armed Forces in each of the sectors.
Nevertheless, the current situation clearly demonstrates the increasingly aggravating operational crisis of the AFU, which instead of trying to contain the onslaught of the Russian troops in the problem areas got involved (https://t.me/rybar/63098) in the "Kursk adventure".

Fwd from @dva_majors
Morning Summary on August 28, 2024
▪️ In the Kursk Region, fierce battles continue near the settlement of Malaya Loknya, with the Russian forces repelling attacks by the enemy. In the south of the Sudzha District, there are counter-attacks. 2 attacks by the AFU on the settlements of Korenevo and Kremyanoye have been repelled. There is more and more evidence (https://t.me/dva_majors/50839) of significant losses of the AFU in manpower and equipment. The enemy has increased the range of their FPV drones and attacked a civilian vehicle on the Rylsk-Lgov highway.
▪️ In the Pokrovsk Direction, the Russian Army is developing its success. The AFU withdrew from Novohrodivka, which was taken by our troops in a few days, indicating a serious collapse of the AFU defense. Memrik and Marinovka have been liberated, and the Ukrainian law enforcement agencies are evacuating from Pokrovsk. In the northern part of Mykhailivka, Russian troops have entrenched along Shkolna Street to a depth of up to 1.4 km.
▪️ From the South Donetsk Direction, there are photos of our flag being installed in the western part of Kostyantynivka, which has been the site of battles for several months. On the Kostyantynivka-Vuhledar highway, 7 km from the latter, the flag of our units has also been installed against the village of Vodyane.
▪️ In the Voronezh Region, in the Rossoshansk District, a fixed-wing UAV was destroyed. The governor reported that the fall of the drone fragments caused a fire near explosive objects, and a decision was made to temporarily evacuate residents of two settlements.
▪️ Around 03:00 am in the Rostov Region, 4 UAVs were shot down, and footage of a fire at an oil depot in the Kamensk District has appeared.
▪️ In the Bryansk Region, the AFU attacked the village of Kurkovichi in the Starodub municipal district with kamikaze drones at night. The head of the municipal administration and a fire and rescue crew arrived at the scene. During the operational and emergency measures, the settlement was attacked again, and a fire and rescue service employee, the head of the municipal administration, and a driver were injured.
▪️ South of the Nekhoteevka border crossing point in the Belgorod Region, the enemy tried to break through the border with up to 100 personnel, but was met with artillery and flamethrower fire and did not succeed, suffering losses.
▪️ In the DPR, in Horlivka, a woman born in 1950 and a man born in 1969 were moderately injured, and a woman born in 1969 was also injured, as a result of shelling by the AFU from barrel artillery.
Summary compiled by: Two Majors
🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukrainian UAV Strikes on Russian Regions
Over the past day, Ukrainian forces carried out new UAV strikes on the territories of Voronezh, Kirov, and Rostov Regions. One of the oil industry facilities in the south of the country was hit, and the threat of repeated attacks remains in the Republic of Tatarstan.
▪️In Voronezh Region, air defense forces intercepted eight Ukrainian UAVs, one of which was shot down over the Rossoshansky District. The likely target of the attack was the territory of the large Minudobreniya plant south of Rossosh itself.
The facility is one of the largest producers of ammonia and ammonium nitrate, and it also has a CHP plant that serves the factory's needs. This makes it an important target for Ukrainian forces seeking to destabilize the Russian economy and disrupt the export of mineral fertilizers.
▪️In Rostov Region, four enemy drones were intercepted overnight, and the wreckage of one fell on the territory of the Atlas oil depot. This facility is strategic and is part of the state reserve, intended for both military and civilian use. Footage from the scene shows that the fire broke out in the area of one of the technical buildings and partially spread to the tanks with flammable materials.
▪️In the morning, another attack was recorded in the Kirov Region. As a result, a tank for storing petroleum products at one of the facilities near the town of Kotelnich was damaged. The target could have been the Zenit plant, which also belongs to the state reserve. The regional governor reported the attack of one enemy drone, but there were no casualties or fires.
🔻Against the backdrop of the ongoing fire at the oil depot in Proletarsk, which has been burning for nine days now, Ukrainian forces are seeking to repeat their "success". Once again, the enemy's targets are critical infrastructure facilities that are important for supplying fuel and lubricants to Russian troops in the special military operation zone.
❗️The "Carpet" plan has been introduced at the airports of Kazan and Nizhnekamsk due to the threat of a UAV attack. All planes flying in this direction are being redirected to the reserve airfield in Samara, while there have been no reports of drone attacks in the region so far.
Despite all the measures taken, the AFU still retain the ability to strike oil industry facilities, which again raises the question of strengthening the air defense system in the "old" regions of Russia and developing new methods of combating UAVs, the number of attacks of which is increasing from month to month.
@rybar
🇮🇱🇱🇧🇸🇾 On the day, an Israeli Air Force drone carried out a precision strike on a vehicle on the Damascus-Beirut international highway near the town of Az-Zabadani and the Syrian-Lebanese border.
▪️According to preliminary information, as a result of the air-to-surface missile strike, one of the Hezbollah fighters, Muhammad Hassan Taha from the city of Baalbek, was killed. This is also confirmed by the official media resources of the Shiite group.
▪️At the same time, as reported by the Israeli media, citing news resources of the pro-Iranian "Axis of Resistance" and the "Syrian opposition", among the dead were three members of the local branch of "Saraya al-Quds" - the military wing of the "Palestinian Islamic Jihad".
Presumably, the air strike targeted field commanders of the missile units from the two groups: according to the Israelis, they were heading from Syria to southern Lebanon to provide combat support in the fight against Israel.
📌Due to periodic strikes by the Israeli Defense Forces on this territory, the Damascus-Beirut highway is even called the "Road of Death" by the local Syrians. For example, during the July strike (https://t.me/rybar/61846) by a UAV on the highway, Syrian businessman Muhammad Barra al-Katarji was killed.
@rybar
🇷🇺🇺🇦💡On the results of strikes by the Russian Armed Forces on facilities on the territory of the so-called Ukraine on August 26
Just yesterday, we analyzed (https://t.me/rybar/63073) the consequences of the Russian massive strike on the energy infrastructure facilities of the so-called Ukraine - then it was possible to partially identify the nature of the damage to some targets.
And now, satellite imagery has allowed us to clarify the picture a bit more. It was possible to confirm information about hits on at least four substations and one hydroelectric power plant.
▪️It seems that at the Kyiv HPP, the Russian troops hit two out of five generator transformers, in which case the facility lost 40% of its generation capacity.
▪️Vinnytsia 750 substation: there is a hit on a single-phase 750/330kV autotransformer, which created problems for the entire power system of the country, since this substation connects the South Ukrainian, Khmilnytskyi and Rivne NPPs.
▪️On the territory of the Khmilnytskyi 330 substation, one open-air autotransformer was damaged, which limited the functionality of the facility.
▪️Zhytomyr 330 substation: two open-air autotransformers came under fire at once. Their destruction led to significant problems with power supply in Zhytomyr.
▪️At the Usatove 330 substation, the strike hit an open-air autotransformer, there are signs of a hit on the protective structure and a group of 330kV high-voltage circuit breakers was destroyed and another one was damaged.
❗️Contrary to previously published data on the Internet, not all targets were confirmed. According to satellite imagery, the following facilities remained intact:
➖ Brovary 330 substation, Novokiivska 330 substation, CHP-5 and CHP-6 in the Kyiv region.
➖ Kryvyi Rih TPP, Pervomaiska 330 substation and Dniprovska 750 substation in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
➖ Trykhaty 330 substation in the Mykolaiv region.
➖ Pivnichna 330 substation in the Kyiv region.
➖ Bar 330 substation in the Vinnytsia region.
🔻 Now it is necessary either to knock out the remaining 750/330kV autotransformers, thereby depriving part of the power units of Ukrainian nuclear power plants of the ability to transmit power to Ukraine itself and driving it only to the EU, or systematically destroy all operating TPPs, CHPs, HPPs and by no means forget about large solar and wind power plants, on which the power supply of Odesa, Kherson and Mykolaiv depends to a high degree.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Fighting in Korenevo and Sudzha Districts
What is known as of 7:00 PM August 28, 2024
In Kursk Region, no significant changes to the front line were recorded during the day, and the intensity of the opponent's attacks remains relatively low compared to the previous week.
▪️In Glushkovo District, the situation remains stable, the opponent is equipping positions in the occupied territories and, presumably, preparing for an offensive in the southeastern part of the district.
▪️In Korenevo District, Russian troops repelled several attacks by AFU assault groups towards Korenevo, Olhovka and Kremyanoye during the day. Despite the efforts, the opponent suffers daily losses of armored vehicles (https://t.me/rusich_army/16831) and personnel.
▪️In Sudzha District, Ukrainian formations also attempted to advance in several villages. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported the repulsion of attacks in the areas of the villages of Russkaya Konopelka, Borki and Spalnoye.
▪️In Kursk Region, active work continues to search for and destroy enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups hiding in forest areas with the aim of further penetrating into Russian territory.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Pokrovsk Direction: Battles in Hrodivka and the Start of the Assault on Selidovo
Situation as of 8:00 PM on August 28, 2024
The operational crisis of the AFU on the southern flank of the Pokrovsk direction is deepening and has already led to the liberation of Novohrodivka by the Russian Armed Forces "almost without a fight". Russian troops are rapidly expanding the wedge into the defensive lines of the AFU and have already engaged in battles on the outskirts of Selidovo, as well as dislodged the enemy from the central part of Hrodivka.
▪️On the northern flank, Russian assault troops achieved significant success in Hrodivka, driving Ukrainian formations from the left bank of the Zhuravka river. There are also battles in Mykolaivka, the last major defensive stronghold of the AFU before Myrnohrad.
For further advance on Myrnohrad, the Russian Armed Forces will have to overcome the defensive lines north of Mykolaivka and Hrodivka, consisting of at least five major strongholds. The enemy will likely make every effort to hold these positions and slow the advance of the Russian Armed Forces by deploying reserves.
▪️In the area of Novohrodivka, Russian troops are consolidating their hold on the occupied territories. To the west of the city lies a large open space, where the AFU is hastily building new defensive lines and plans to slow the advance of the Russian Armed Forces through active use of FPV drones.
▪️After establishing control over Mykhailivka, the Russian Armed Forces began an offensive on Selidovo, a major transport hub of the enemy in the rear of its grouping in the Donetsk direction. Over the past day, there have been reports of the penetration of Russian reconnaissance groups into the eastern outskirts of the city, spread by local residents through the "grapevine".
Today, Russian troops have already dislodged the AFU from positions on the slag heap northeast of the city and then entered the outskirts of the settlement in this area. There is also information about small arms battles in the area of the "Avanhard" stadium, but the lack of objective control footage does not allow this to be confirmed.
▪️The Internet has published another proof of the control of Russian troops over Memrik - footage showing the Russian flag fluttering on one of the streets of the settlement.
Now, the advance groups of the Russian Armed Forces are breaking through to Ukrainske, where the evacuation of the population and enterprises is underway. According to some reports, Russian reconnaissance groups are already operating on the outskirts of the city, while linear units are gradually expanding the zone of control north of it.
❗️The liberation of the settlement will create a threat of encirclement for the AFU units defending in Halytsynivka and its environs. Given the partial collapse of the front that has already occurred in several sectors of the enemy's defense, a similar development of the situation should be expected here as well.
