On August 16, several videos documenting some of the Russian military’s recent operations against Kiev forces surfaced online
Four videos show attacks with FPV suicide drones and grenade-dropping drones that targeted Ukrainian troops, posts and equipment across several directions in the special military operation zone over the last few days.
Three more videos show recent artillery strikes that hit Ukrainian howitzers and armored vehicles, among other targets, near the settlements of Gavrilovka, Filiya, Ivanovka, Sosnovka, Poltavka, and Severesk in the Donetsk direction. Most of the strikes were carried out using Krasnopol guided shells.
Another video shows a salvo of BM-21 Grad rockets hitting a deployment area of Kiev forces somewhere in the Donetsk direction, where 18 troops were reportedly killed.
Three additional videos show recent airstrikes with UMPK-equipped guided glide bombs and a LMUR guided missile that targeted fortifications and other positions of Kiev forces near the settlement of Novosyolovka in the Dnipropetrovsk direction and the settlement of Dimitrov in Donetsk.
In addition, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced in its daily briefing that missile, artillery and drone strikes hit “ammunition and material depots, long-range unmanned aerial vehicles storage areas, temporary deployment areas of the AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine) and foreign mercenaries in 133 areas” over the last 24 hours.
Russian air defenses also shot down five guided aerial bombs, one United States-made HIMARS projectile, and 169 fixed-wing drones during the same period, the ministry added.
According to the ministry, Kiev forces have lost 665 aircraft, 283 helicopters, 77,659 drones, 625 air defense systems, 24,598 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 1,586 multiple rocket launchers, 28,581 artillery pieces, and 39,581 support vehicles since the start of the special military operation.

war is a terrible job. yet, russians manage to excel and preform adequately. i see no trumps e.o.’s cancelling sanctions and tariffs yet. a tell of swamps current intentions
you can bet if trump gets peace (and nobel peace prize), cia will try for the donald again.
orange jesus was told days ago by the big banks, that more tariffs and sanctions will only make the situation of us economy worse. so he had to save face and tell everyone that things went beautifully with the russian leadership to avoid his idiotic threats.
no matter how many times people tell him that tariffs and sanctions will only hurt the us, he still doesn’t get it. if the us is taking “trillions” as he stated about 2 days ago, why not simply sanction everyone, put tariffs up to 100% on anything imported and get rich? his math is utterly wrong and it will have severe consequences for him and the us.
ukraine has the know-how to build nuclear weapons. surely they’ve held back something to drop on moscow? now’s the time.
definitive statement straight taken out of the *ss of the delusional and impotent trolls lurking around here.
now’s the time for what? killing more civilians for no purpose.
congratulations, o’ genius, you.
your agony is cleary visible. but as you have probably learned, words won’t change a thing and russia is still beating the s**t out of nato and 404. so post your own delusions until the next reality check sends you into the next emotional meltdown. you are only hurting yourself.
little off topic, but i really enjoyed the footage of several us air force f-35s stealth fighters respectfully escorting his eminence vladimir vladimirovich putin’s presidential airplane. at like 50,000 dollars cost per hour of flight, it’s a very nice gesture by president trump & the us tax payers.
the loooosers at the war zone dotcum must be having a nervous breakdown, & shiiting their panties so hard, they must be suffering rectal prolapse. russia is our friend
maidan square are full of american flag of fallen mercenaries while putin walk on red carpet in alaska air base and f-35 were escorting him..
scott ritter told me lots of those “mercs” will be buried in gnarlytown pet sematary with full military honerous but very quietly, also with full benefits for their widows and their consoling living bbc boyfriends
beside that this is rather standard procedure … staging the reception at the airport in front of military equipment and having a long-range bomber do a fyl-over felt more like trump was simply just polishing his d**k for the entire world to see. i wonder why he needs that …
don’t add music to killin’ people.
wrong bingo player, music sells the show. murica loves it…
i hear boris johnson likes music about killin’ people a lot, specially iron maiden’s charge of the light brigade. too bad for ukraine zelenskyy the clown is a mi6 mutt and was fooled to think he can take back crimea all over again.
i like the music…it distracts from the world ending horror of death and war. the murder and screams of both the dehumanised victim and the inhuman attacker would make all footage unwatchable. it probably serves propaganda purposes as drummer boys did in ancient wars. grow up.
si fanno forti se mandano avanti gli americani nel momento in cui trump dice le guerre per voi non le faccio gli danno addosso ho sempre detto che sono traditori sono le grandi potenze a dirigere il mondo usa,russia, cina, possono farlo la germania , lettonia, francia, italia, inghilterra, turchia no e questo è mettere il mondo in ordine bene trump putin.
trump knows the gig is up with 404. all he wants now is to pull out and be first in line to do business with russia again bypassing the eu. he will do what china and india have been doing. resell russian resources to europe with huge profits. monkey see money do … but he is still a simpleton.
