In Kherson direction, Kiev forces lost 50 troops, three motor vehicles and three towed howitzers, an American-made M777, a Msta-B and a D-30, to Russian military fire.
Lt. Gen. Konashenkov also provided the following details during his briefing:
Operational-Tactical and Army aviation, Missile Troops and Artillery of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have neutralized manpower and military hardware in 147 areas.
Fighter Aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces have shot down 1 AFU Su-25 aircraft near Semyonovka (Donetsk People’s Republic).
Air defense systems have shot down 1 Su-25 aircraft near Zolotaya Balka (Kherson region), 6 HIMARS MLRS and 1 HARM surface-to-air radar system projectiles, manufactured in the U.S., as well as 1 S-200 SAM system missile, modified in a strike version.
▫️In addition, 73 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles have been intercepted and suppressed by electronic warfare means close to Olshana (Kharkov region), Shishkovo (Lugansk People’s Republic), Berestovoye, Golmovsky (Donetsk People’s Republic), Vasilyevka, Sladkaya Balka, Inzhinernoye and Zhovtnyovoye (Zaporozhye region).
In total, 464 airplanes, 246 helicopters, 6,085 unmanned aerial vehicles, 433 air defense missile systems, 11,492 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 1,144 fighting vehicles equipped with MLRS, 6,042 field artillery cannons and mortars, as well as 12,424 special military motor vehicles have been destroyed during the special military operation.
The Russian MoD also reported two failed Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory in the afternoon of August 25. One suicide drone was intercepted over the Kaluga region while flying towards Moscow. Later, a second drone was shot down over the Belgorod region. No casualties or material losses were reported after the attack attempts.
In addition, Russian news sources shared videos showing the elimination of Ukrainian troops with sniper fire and FPV suicide drones on several directions.
Despite sustaining heavy losses and failing to make any meaningful gains, Ukraine will not likely halt its counteroffensive any time soon. The Kiev regime appears to be facing pressure from NATO and other allies who provided more than $200 billions in military aid.
