Map of Russia's special operations in Ukraine, the advance of Russian troops, militar

The Russian army launched another missile strike on Kyiv on the night of August 20. The attack involved 13 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles, 8 Iskander-M ballistic missiles, 2 Kh-23 missiles, and presumably North Korean KN-23 missiles. It is worth noting that air defense systems in Kyiv are currently inactive due to the cessation of Patriot missile deliveries to Ukraine.

Targets hit in Kyiv on August 20:

1. The Fire Point LLC facility. It manufactures components for strike UAVs. Boosters used in Flamingo cruise missiles were also assembled and stored there.
2. The Ukrspecsystems commercial and warehouse complex, which handled the production of strike UAV components, the large-scale assembly of fixed-wing UAVs, and their storage.
3. The Antonov State Enterprise. It produces the long-range An-196 "Lyutyi" UAV and develops and manufactures various types of manned aircraft.
4. An ammunition depot containing M-900 thermobaric aerial bombs, anti-tank mines, and munitions for heavy drones such as the "Baba Yaga."

The first instance of a Ukrainian FP-5 cruise missile being hit by machine-gun fire from the Russian mobile fire group "BARS-Kursk" has been recorded. The video was filmed in Russia's Kursk region. Analysis of the flight controller data revealed that the missile was launched from Ukraine's Sumy region and was targeting a strategic facility in the Tula region. The wreckage of the missile, bearing bullet holes, is shown at the end of the video.

Strikes by the Russian "Upyr" FPV drone against Ukrainian military hardware. "Upyr" FPV drones have been developed and manufactured in the Sverdlovsk Region since 2023, with serial production handled by the company "Uraldronzavod" since 2024. The base "Upyr" FPV drone is capable of carrying a payload of up to 4 kg on a 5–9-inch frame. When using a signal relay, the drone's flight range extends up to 12 km.

Footage shows the destruction of a Ukrainian maritime drone on September 3 as it attempted to enter the waters of the Sochi seaport. The drone lost control at one point, as evidenced by its erratic maneuvering. There were two drones in total; one exploded near the *Nefrit* (Project UT 745 E), a multi-purpose engineering support vessel. The vessel remained afloat and showed no signs of listing. It is worth noting that the fact the drones were able to approach the Sochi seaport so closely during daylight hours indicates a lack of coastal patrols in the area.
