20:30 Rybar: a complex attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Crimea - what was the enemy planning?
After today's two downed Portuguese Tekever UAVs, a logical continuation followed: the Russian Ministry of Defense announced a downed UAF cruise missile off the coast of Crimea. But there were no further comments.
According to our information, a Ukrainian anti-ship missile "Neptune", fired from the Odessa region, was shot down near the Russian peninsula. The declared range is up to 300 kms, which is enough for attacks on the Crimea.
As we expected, the flight of the Tekevers deep into the peninsula was not accidental: Ukrainian formations used the gaps between the air defense detection zones and leaked into the Crimea, intending to identify the positional areas of the air defense systems.
And the fact that expensive UAVs acted as decoys should not be embarrassing - the latest reconnaissance equipment with a high-quality camera is installed on Portuguese drones, which increases the ability to detect Russian air defense systems and radars.
A similar tactic was used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the attack on Cape Tarkhankut, when the S-300 air defense system was hit. First, two UAVs were forced to launch missiles at them, and then the Russian anti-aircraft complex was destroyed.
And in this case, the methods were similar: in the region of 10.24 and 10.40, two Tekevers were shot down, and an hour later there was an attempt to hit the Neptune. Of course, I am glad that the units of the 31st Air Army and Air Defense Division quickly adapted to such tricks of the enemy and successfully repelled the attack.
But the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to use Neptunes against ground targets indicates the refinement of the complexes: the ability of missiles to fly above the surface of the water makes them a dangerous threat.
On the other hand, this indicates a shortage or even absence of other means of destruction previously used for attacks in the Crimea - drones "Strizh", OTRK "Grom-2" and S-200 air defense systems.
20:00 Naval infantry of the Pacific Fleet continue successfully confront the enemy:
Ugledarsk and South-Donetsk directions
The calculations of unmanned aerial vehicles transmit the situation on the battlefield in real time. According to the targets identified with the help of the UAV - armored vehicles and camouflaged enemy fire weapons - the crews of the BMP-3 from closed firing positions immediately open fire.
“The car is very maneuverable, light. In combat, he shows himself very well. Every trip is efficient. If it’s night work, then in any case something is affected ... ”, - says the operator-gunner of the BMP-3.
19:30 ATGM shots destroy Nazi equipment in the area of the Vremevsky salient:

During the sortie, the helicopter pilots launched missiles at detected targets, as a result of which they destroyed the enemy’s command post and armored vehicles.
17:35 Kherson direction situation as of 17.00 August 28, 2023:
In the Kherson region, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is preparing for operations on the left bank of the Dnieper. The main strike is planned in the direction of Aleshek from the islands of Buryakovy, Antonovsky and Alekseevsky.
To reinforce the tactical group "Grom" in the vicinity of Kherson, assault units of the 121st Brigade of the territorial defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were deployed, and recently artillery crews of the 406th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were moved to the coastal zone of the Dnieper.
Now the Armed Forces of Ukraine are testing the tactics of landings in small groups, using a bridgehead on the islands. One of the DRGs tried to land on Kozulikhsky Island by boat at night, but was destroyed by artillery strikes.
At the same time, artillerymen and mortars are intensively artillery attack the front line, and reconnaissance drones are looking for the location of air defense systems and personnel deployment points.
Today's flight of a Tekever AR3 drone destroyed in Crimea from Shirokoye to the south through the Kherson region indicates that the Armed Forces of Ukraine used a hole in the air defense to fly to the Crimea. And during the movement, the most important objects of the RF Armed Forces were probably occupied.
Also, the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems have again become more active. Yesterday, two high-precision missiles hit the Iron Port, and target designation was provided by the same Tekever and Bayraktar.
17:00 Fighting in Rabotino: Naval infantry cover militant hideouts:
Despite Ukraine's statements about taking control of N. p. Rabotino, the fighting continues there.
Marines from the "Hunter" group monitor the movement of militants and timely destroy enemy manpower accumulations.
16:30 Orekhovsky area situation as of 16.00 August 28, 2023:
Fighting continues at Rabotino. Statements about the breakthrough of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to Novopokrovka are not true, at the moment, clashes are still observed on the southern outskirts, where the forces of the 15th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine were already sent to support the offensive.
Also, the paratroopers of the 1st battalion of the 82nd Airborne Infantry Brigade of Ukraine once again tried to break through to Verbove from the west with the support of artillery and aviation, but the attack was repulsed and the Armed Forces of Ukraine retreated.
Enemy losses are growing daily. With the tactics of the "meat" assault, the Ukrainian command was able to wedge between the villages, but the price of this is really high - 21 killed and 52 wounded were confirmed for the assault. Subdivisions of the 3rd Battalion of the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine advanced to the aid of the 82nd Airborne Brigade.
Now the Armed Forces of Ukraine are evacuating the wounded on six armored vehicles and regrouping before the next attack. The plans of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine include a breakthrough to heights 136.8 and 110.3 for a subsequent strike on Novopokrovka.

14:28 Russian soldiers are counterattacking the Armed Forces of Ukraine and develop offensive in the Artyomovsky direction - the front on the morning of August 28
In the Artyomovsky direction, the battles near Kleshcheevka do not stop - the Russian Army again counterattacked the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Although the Khokhols bring reserves into battle, they still fail to repel our attacks: ours are developing an offensive in the Orekhovo-Vasilyevka region of the DPR.
On the Donetsk sector of the front, our soldiers continue to storm the enemy positions in Maryinka. It is reported about the attack of Russian military positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Stepnoy. Also, crests are very dim in Novomikhailovka, Pobeda, Ostroy and Krasnogorovka.
In the Kupyansk direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine require reinforcements - this was requested by the commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrsky. In the meantime, ours are developing the offensive, clearing the oporniks in the area of Sin'kovka and Petropavlovka, moving towards Kupyansk.
On the Zaporizhia Front, bloody heavy battles are going on in the southern outskirts of Rabotino. The Armed Forces of Ukraine want to go to Novostroyki and Verbovoe - Russian soldiers effectively repel enemy attacks.
14:00 And here it is personnel arrived in time from the outskirts of Rabotino. From that Rabotino, where, contrary to the statements of Malyar, fierce battles continue
Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Malyar cheerfully reported on the “liberation of Rabotino” near Orekhov, but, as often happens, she hurried.
A fighter of the 7th Guards Air Assault Division directly from the LBS refutes these statements - the outskirts of the broken village, which has become the field of an epic battle, is still behind us and the battle is being fought.
Also, this video directly from Rabotino, from the thick of a tough battle with skirmishes, refutes the reports of a woman from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The battle continues. Everything will be fine. Maybe even better.
13:00 Today around 11.30 hrs intercepted anotheran attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack on facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation.
A Ukrainian cruise missile was destroyed in the air over the Black Sea off the coast of the Republic of Crimea by air defense forces.
12:30 The fighters of the Vostok battalion report on the situation on the Vremevsky ledge at the junction of Zaporozhye and the DPR:
"Good morning. The artillery attack stops only at night, but resumes in the morning with a new intensity. They work mainly with cluster munitions from a distance, adding NATO small-caliber mortars from close approaches. Sometimes tanks come out and try to dismantle our positions by direct fire .... It is felt that the enemy’s ammo shortage has been eliminated, and he can afford more than we can. But what do we want to focus on? With your prayers and God's help, there are no losses - those prepared during their stay at the shelter cope with their task - but they, how often do we, report hits at given coordinates?
Of course, such swotting affects the nerves, but nothing more - and the enemy, nevertheless, does not allow a small expense. Have a nice day everyone”
11:50 Situation on Zaporozhye direction at 10:00:
n.p. Rabotino - The southern outskirts of Rabotino under the control of the RF Armed Forces. Fights are going on in the wooded areas, the enemy is throwing their last forces and reserves into battle, their tanks are no longer so boldly driving, they are being worked out with FPV.

10:30 Ukrainian formations continue to bombard Russian front-line settlements with cannon and rocket artillery, releasing several hundred different pieces of ammunition every day.
Compared to last week, the enemy increased the intensity of artillery attack of the Donetsk People's Republic by 65%, while the amount of ammunition fired in the Belgorod region decreased by 45%. In the Kherson region, the situation has not changed significantly.
The situation is still difficult in the Donetsk agglomeration: four civilians were killed in the region in a week, and at least 29 more were injured of varying severity. The number of victims in the Belgorod region has sharply increased - three dead and six wounded.
In many respects, this was the result of the enemy’s active use of cluster-type ammunition - as a result of only one hit in the village of Urazovo in the Belgorod region, six people were injured, one of whom continues to be in serious condition.
The difficult situation continued in other front-line regions - the Bryansk, Kursk and Zaporozhye regions, as well as in the Luhansk People's Republic. They regularly come under fire from Ukrainian formations, but only a small part of the acts of aggression of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is covered in open sources.
In addition, over the past week, Ukrainian formations have made a series of attempts to attack the rear regions: enemy drones were intercepted near Moscow, the Republic of Crimea and the Kaluga region. Only one of the eight drones managed to reach the capital, damaging a skyscraper under construction in the Moscow City business center.
