That's the Friday raid with the 42 drones we reported on and the air/sea/ground raid that took out a second S-400. We did a deep analysis on the Kursk claims, wish we had better news.
Sort of true - the number is exaggerated - will you accept 17?
I’m really hoping this one is true. A blogger claims that a Russian unit of about 40 south of Robotyne beat their commander with a frying pan and then dragged him with them to surrender to the Ukrainians. Please make it true! (The unit hadn’t eaten for 5 days as it seems what supplies that are getting through aren’t being shared with the new conscripts.)
Ukraine says it hit Russian military base in annexed Crimea Saturday August 26 https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-says-it-hit-russian-military-base-annexed-crimea-2023-08-26/ Ukrainian Security Service's drones attack planes at Kursk airfield SUNDAY, 27 AUGUST https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/08/27/7417295/ SBU claim 16 Ukrainian drones attacked four SU-30 and one MIG-29 aircraft. Among the targets hit was an S-300 Radars and Pantsyrs. Almost all of the SBU drones reached their targets and only 3 of the drones were shot down. Attack is confirmed by Ukraine and Russia but each claim very different outcomes of course. At least one YouTube Ukrainian Vlogger reported that Ukrainian Special Forces were back in Crimea last night at Yevpatoria in Western Crimea, killing 14 Russian soldiers at their base.
