On August 7, multiple videos documenting some of the Russian military’s recent combat operations against Kiev forces surfaced online.
Ten of the videos show dozens of attacks with FPV suicide drones, grenade-dropping drones, and interceptor drones that targeted Ukrainian troops, posts and equipment across several directions in the special military operation zone in the last few days.
Three other videos show airstrikes that targeted Ukrainian positions in Donetsk, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and other directions.
The airstrikes were carried out using UMPK-equipped guided glide bombs, including one massive FAB-300, as well as at least one LMUR guided missile.
In addition, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced in its daily briefing that missile and drone strikes targeted “a railway hub in Dnepropetrovsk region which was employed to transfer AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine) weapons and military hardware to the Donbass, command and control posts and stocking sites of long-range unmanned aerial vehicles as well as temporary deployment areas of Ukrainian troops and foreign mercenaries” in 133 areas within the special military operation zone over the past 24 hours.
Russian air defenses shot down eight British-made Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles, a guided aerial bomb, an American-made HIMARS projectile, and 240 fixed-wing drones during the same period, the ministry said, adding that a drone boat was also targeted by the Russian Navy in the northeastern part of the Black Sea.
According to the ministry, Kiev forces have lost 664 aircraft, 283 helicopters, 75,210 drones, 625 air defense systems, 24,478 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 1,584 multiple rocket launchers, 28,245 artillery pieces, and 39,238 support vehicles since the start of the special military operation.
