Russia's big action in the Black Sea as Ukrainian Special Forces tried to "enter Crimea" The Russian Defence Ministry said it destroyed four military boats in Ukraine. These boats had up to 50 members of the Ukrainian special forces on board. The Russian aircraft crew detected Ukraine's incursion bid and launched an attack. According to Russia, all four Ukrainian boats were smashed in the attack.
Inspite of their master's orders to stop pointless attacks on Crimea, the Banderites chose to ignore this and paid a heavy price. 200 or possibly more Ukrainians down in Davy Jones Locker. FeelsBadMan


Russian forces thwarted Ukraine's biggest ever drone strike on its territory since the war began. Russian defence ministry in a statement said Ukrainian drones were shot down over the regions of Oryol, Bryansk, Ryazan, Kaluga and the Moscow region surrounding the Russian capital. In retaliation, Russia too launched a missile and drone attack against Kyiv on Wednesday morning that was described as the “most powerful strike” on the Ukrainian capital in months, leaving two people dead and one wounded.


A Russian airport in the northwestern Pskov region near the NATO nations of Latvia and Estonia came under Ukrainian drone attack. The Russian state news agency TASS, quoting emergency services, said that four Il-76 heavy transport aircraft were damaged in the attack. Russia's media reported that Ukraine launched 10 to 20 drones in the attack. Watch this video to know how Pskov airport is strategically important for Russia amid the war with Ukraine.

There has been a dramatic rise in Ukraine's number of dead, according to new estimates by unnamed US officials.

Ukraine gives no official toll of its war dead - the figures remain classified.

But US officials, quoted by the New York Times, recently put the number at 70,000 dead and as many as 120,000 injured.

According to estimates by Douglas MacGregor and Scott Ritter, Ukrainian war dead are more than 400,000 up to 500,000. It comes as no surprise as to why the Bandera regime lead by the nefarious 🤡 Zelensky intends to mobilize 500,000 and up to 1,000,000 more for meat grinder.

Hungary, a NATO nation known for its "Russia love", has issued a war threat. Hungarian PM Viktor Orban has apparently issued a warning to his "NATO allies." Viktor Orban said that Hungary would "go to war if energy supplies were attacked. Taking a swipe at Germany, Orban has claimed his nation would not remain passive like Berlin did during the Nord Stream blasts.

On the thwarted Ukrainian PR raid on the coast of Crimea

On the night of August 30, Ukrainian formations again tried to land on the Crimean peninsula: at least nine speedboats with reconnaissance groups of the Main Intelligence Directorate and MTR headed for Cape Tarkhankut. The local coast is quite convenient for landing and dropping DRGs.

▪️First, the supply groups delivered fuel and food to the Bezymyannaya gas production unit, after which boats moved out of the port of Vilkovo one after another along the route Snake Island - Bezymyannaya - Odesskaya - Storm installations.

▪️The sortie was timed to coincide with the so-called "day of remembrance of the defenders" of Ukraine. According to the plan, the Ukrainian formations were supposed to show the effectiveness of amphibious operations in the Crimea.

▪️The advanced boats were detected in advance by Russian troops. Su-24 and MiG-29 aircraft of the naval aviation of the Black Sea Fleet struck with four RBK-500 cluster bombs ~ 60 km west of the Russian Olenivka.

▪️There is no exact data on the destroyed boats: the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost from two to four units. The rest of the boats immediately after the strikes of the Black Sea Fleet turned around and departed back along the same route. At the Snake they were met by an evacuation squad that picked up the wounded.

❗️Once again, we note the reaction of the Russian command to changes in the nature of the enemy's actions. After one PR sortie by the DRG of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Tarkhankut, the necessary measures were taken: this time the GUR detachments failed to get close to the Crimea.

On the massive raid of Ukrainian UAVs on Russia on the night of August 30, 2023

Last night, Ukrainian formations used drones to attack Russian rear targets. Air defense crews and electronic warfare systems neutralized drones over the territories of at least six regions.

▪️Pskov was subjected to the most massive attack. The enemy launched 21 drones at a civil-military airfield. Despite the interception of most UAVs, some achieved their goals. Four Il-76 military transport aircraft were damaged (two units caught fire and it is still difficult to say whether they can be restored).

▪️In the Kaluga region, one device was destroyed over the territory of the Sukhinichsky district, the second fell into an empty tank for petroleum products in the Dzerzhinsky district: the resulting fire was quickly extinguished.

▪️In the Bryansk region, seven aircraft-type drones were intercepted: the wreckage fell on the 16th building of the Silicon EL plant, the largest manufacturer of microelectronics. The building of the Investigative Committee in the Sovetsky district was also damaged.

▪️In addition, air defense systems destroyed two vehicles each over the territories of the Ryazan and Oryol regions. And on the outskirts of Moscow, electronic warfare units suppressed a drone in the Ruza district - having lost control, it crashed into a tree in the village of Lukino.

▪️It was also reported about the work of air defense systems in the area of the Sevastopol Bay, but this information was not confirmed. Most likely, the sounds of the air defense were mistaken for the strikes of the Black Sea Fleet aircraft on Ukrainian boats with sabotage groups trying to land.

Vremyevsky site
situation as of 14.00 August 30, 2023

In the Vremievsky sector, Ukrainian formations are regrouping due to heavy losses during attempts to occupy the Staromayorskoye-Urozhaynoye line. Marines of the 35th Marine Corps of the Ukrainian Navy were withdrawn to Shevchenko for restoration.

At the same time, Russian fighters are engaged in a shooting battle with units of the 1st rifle battalion of the 1st tank brigade of the AFU in a landing a few kilometers west of Staromayorsky, knocking out the AFU from their positions. Now Russian artillerymen are conducting a mass shelling of the front line.

🔻However, the enemy continues to accumulate reserves for an offensive with the aim of breaking through to the Sea of Azov. Three groups of the 23rd Mechanized Brigade arrived in Rovnopol after replenishment, and assault detachments of the 31st Mechanized Brigade also returned to the line between Priyutnoye-Zavetnoye Zhedenie after restoration.

And to the north, five artillery crews of M777 howitzers with long-range precision-guided munitions and six self-propelled howitzers "Akatsiya" were pulled together to the north to Berezovoi and Shevchenko.

❗️Also, five British Challenger tanks and an unidentified air defense system were deployed to the Kurakhovo railway station. It is not yet clear where the weapons will be directed: it could be both Marinka and Avdiivka.

But it can also be the South Donetsk direction, which is more important and promising for the Ukrainian command due to the need to cut off the land supply of the Russian Armed Forces grouping in the Zaporizhia region.

Orekhovsky area
: situation as of 15.00 on August 30, 2023

🔻At Rabotino, due to the huge losses in manpower and the futility of moving south through the village, the command of the Ukrainian group adjusted the plans, pulling the forces of the 82nd Airborne Brigade to the area east of Rabotino.

With the joint efforts of two battalions of the 82nd and 46th brigades of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces, they attacked the positions of the Russian army northwest of Verbove with the support of artillery shelling the front line with cluster munitions.

Also, separate assault groups of the DShV, reinforced by detachments of the Ukrainian SOF, launched an offensive south to heights 136.8 and 110.3 in the area of Balka Krivoy and were able to make some progress in this direction. They are under fire from artillery and aviation.

🔻In the second line to Malaya Tokmachka, reinforcements from 118 Mechanized Brigade 10 AK of the AFU were deployed, as well as second-echelon units from the 15th brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine. At the same time, their movement to the south is complicated by the destruction of the crossing over the Konka near the village.

At the moment, the efforts of the AFU are focused on fire suppression of anti-aircraft missile systems and radar stations of the Russian Armed Forces . Three Su-27s equipped with HARM missiles operate daily in the air. In Krasnaya Krinitsa, the Bukovel electronic warfare crew operates.

And as part of the counter-battery fight in the settlements north of Orekhov, units of the 148th Artillery Brigade of the AFU of Ukraine were deployed, supplemented by UAV crews as part of the formation of reconnaissance and strike complexes as part of the artillery troops.

❗️The enemy's plan, in principle, is clear: they want to wedge into the defenses between the villages, filling up the front line with meat and destroying the defensive positions of the RF Armed Forces with artillery. On the example of Rabotino, it is clear that this was not particularly successful. But a little to the east, they were able to squeeze out the RF Armed Forces from several strongholds and at the moment continue to press, despite the losses.

The nefarious Zelensky regime needs more meat for the meat grinder on the frontline.

Kherson direction
situation as of 16.00 August 30, 2023

In the Kherson region, assault detachments of the 126th Territorial Defense Brigade again landed in the gray zone on the left bank of the Dnieper, 4 km northwest of Podstepne near the eco-farm. A boat with supplies and provisions was sent there at night.

Probably, in the near future, attempts will again be made from there to storm the positions of the Russian army near Kozachi Laheri, as we said a couple of days ago. At the same time, detachments of the 121st Brigade of the AFU Territorial Defense are waiting on the opposite bank.

🔻Another enemy recon groups under the cover of mortars and copters with a grenade drop system landed again on Pereyaslavsky Island. It is under fire from artillerymen of the Russian Armed Forces.

To the west, units of the 406th artillery brigade of the AFU from the Novodmitrovka-Belozerka line fire at Staraya Zburyevka and Kozulikhsky Island. The strikes on the island indicate that this area is at least in the gray zone, on which our reconnaissance groups operate.

🔻Also yesterday, closer to midnight, another Tekever UAV took off from Odessa, which flew to Tendrovskaya Spit and Karkinitsky Bay, and another Tekever flew from Kobzartsev in the direction of Skadovsk through Antonovka.

They probably had to track the landing of the recon groups, which could not reach the peninsula. Unlike the previous flight to the Crimea, the AFU operated at a distance from air defense systems. But the very fact of another unhindered passage through the Kherson region is alarming.

Destruction of boats with Ukrainian recon groups in the Black Sea
situation as of 17.00 August 30, 2023

After, on the night of August 30, the planes of the naval aviation of the Black Sea Fleet thwarted the attempts of the Armed AFU to land on Cape Tarkhankut, the surviving boats with enemy personnel returned to Vilkovo.

This morning, Ukrainian sabotage groups again advanced first to Zmeiny Island, and then towards gas production units (GDU). Such interest in the GDU is due to the fact that mobile radars or communications equipment can be easily placed on abandoned platforms.

🔻However, the Russian Armed Forces detected enemy activity near offshore installations and took off Su-30SM fighters, which found one of the enemy’s high-speed boats near the Odesskaya GDU. The crew worked on the target from the cannon and damaged the boat.

And later, at around 13.20-13.30, Su-24M bombers of the Black Sea Fleet Naval Aviation struck with RBC-500 cluster bombs at the accumulation of AFU watercraft near Zmeiny Island. According to some reports, during the raid it was possible to destroy three enemy boats at once.

🔻In total, Russian pilots hit up to seven boats with recon groups per day. In the event of the death of the personnel stationed there, these are quite tangible losses for the enemy.

Nevertheless, what happened does not mean that the AFU will abandon plans to send sabotage groups to the Crimea or activity near gas production facilities, so the problem of effectively countering the enemy in this area remains relevant.

Just when you think that the nefarious regime learned their lesson and heeded the advice of their master not to make pointless attacks on Crimea, they went ahead with their plan with disastrous results..
More food for sea creatures in the Black Sea.

Summer operation| The Ukrainians Need Another Army Corps To Take Verbove. Military Summary 2023.8.30

Robotyne is still not yet conquered after 3 months of intense fighting. Since "The Fourth of June" Führer Zelenskyy's Waffen-SS has only lost 45,000 soldiers & a couple of thousands of armored vehicles & tanks. They have conquered an impressive 53 square miles of very rich fertile farmland & 10 settlements of varied size...excellent performance!!

Not reported by Ukro propagandist. Everything is fine.
The nefarious corrupt regime lead by the clown Zelensky is indifferent to the Ukrainian MIAs and POWs. They want more cannon fodder to be sent into the meat grinder at the frontlines.
