Russian air defenses foiled over the night of August 9 and 10 a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack that targeted the regions of Kursk and Yaroslavl in Russia’s southwest.
In a statement, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that 26 suicide drones were shot down over Kursk and six others over Yaroslavl. There were no reports of losses.
The attack came as the Russian military is battling a large Ukrainian force that infiltrated into Kursk and occupied several settlements earlier this week. In the last two days, Kiev troops suffered heavy losses while attempting to cling to their gains in the region.
Just a day earlier, Russian air defenses intercepted at least 81 suicide drones over different regions, foiling one of Ukraine’s largest attacks on Russia this year so far. At least 11 of the drones were shot down over Kursk with no losses reported.
In the Black Sea, seven uncrewed suicide boats which were heading towards the Crimean Peninsula were destroyed. The Russian MoD released video footage of the naval engagement.
The Kiev regime’s recent attacks on Russian territory, including the infiltration into Kursk, will likely be met with a fierce response.
Last March, the Russian military resumed group strikes on military infrastructure and related energy facilities in Ukraine following a series of attacks that targeted the region of Belgorod. Russia could increase the strikes in the coming weeks to deter the Kiev regime.

i don’t know. i think russia is stupid beyond recognition. the whole war against ukraine (or special operation how it was nicknamed by liar putin) was about protecting crimea and protecting civilians in donetsk and luhansk and both goals failed. buffer zone doesn’t exist, actually it shrinked as ukraine using long range cruise missiles. now they can attack moscow. half million russians already died in vain. the only capable war leader prygzhin was murdered by putin’s order.
but what is the most interesting fact, russia still think they are winning. they don’t understand anything. war today is not about grabbing land. it is about controlling of people. ukraine stupid war give nato a perfect invasion bridgehead. it is the same like iraq – kuwait invasion. it could be all prevented if stupid putin – lavrov clowns didn’t spent 5 years with minsk nonsense and send armies at right time on right place.
you understood one thing correctly; war today is about controlling people. russias opperation are a teaching exercise and it is working both in russia, ukraine and pretty much all countries involved int he conflict, this war is not about land, it is about the future of the people in europa.
but this is again the same problem. russia can send armies, of course, but they can’t control people. even if they grab ukrane by force, ukraine resistance will still fight on u.s. side even u.s. didn’t invested anything to ukraine, just empty words, cookies and drugs. but this is precisely how it works. russian invested billions in ukraine, they give them gas almost for free and allowed them decades of living on russian support just to became an enemy.
u have not understood russian tactic. russia knew about this attack by ukro in kursk and belgrod . russia let them in and now this ukrosurronded by 3 side. russia made this meat grinder like bhakmut . all the nato equipment is coming in and getting destroyed . do u think russia is stupid to allow them in . russia has intellegence. they made meat grindier for nato soldier and equpemnt in kursk
we can’t say it for sure, was it the plan or not, but you fairly described the result of suicidal attack. over 1000 is killed, 22 tanks and many other equipment destroyed for free riding between several villages. pr-campaign to show the “might”. nazis lost every battle since 4 june 2023 (start of offensive), they moved out from all villages they took for half year by huge cost. fashington pushed them to such activity, need some excuse for wasted billions.
see, here you are wrong. that is exactly what they can do, defeat nazi resistance; there will not be a ukrop uprising in occupied ukraine, there will be russia with occasional cia sponsored terrorist attacks, but this will be final, nato lost, the internationals lost.
puti touch me and i will touch you play has made nato and ukraine more agressive and arogant. russsians are dying because of putin stupid atactics and playing friends with russia enemy erdogan
