Kyiv and Brovary were the main targets of the Russian Federation’s offensive

The Russian army launched a massive attack on Ukraine, focusing the main thrust of the offensive on Kyiv and Brovary.

According to the website’s estimates, up to 200 attack drones—including the “Geran,” “Gerbera,” and other types—may have been deployed across Ukraine. It is noted that many of them were jet-powered drones.

In addition, according to preliminary estimates, Russia may have deployed:

  • up to 20 “Iskander-M,” KN-23, and S-400 ballistic missiles from the Bryansk and Voronezh regions;
  • up to 8 “Zircon” hypersonic cruise missiles from the Kursk and Rostov regions;
  • up to 50 Kh-101 cruise missiles from the airspace of the Vologda region;
  • 8 “Kalibr” cruise missiles from the area of Cape Miskhako.

Thus, the massive attack involved various types of strike weapons—ranging from drones to ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missiles.

At the same time, these figures are preliminary estimates by the “Strategic Aviation” resource and may be refined following official information from the Ukrainian military.

This is evidenced by a rough map of the missiles’ and drones’ trajectories published by the “Strategic Aviation” resource.

Since the evening of August 19, Russian troops have attacked four districts of the Dnipropetrovsk region nearly 20 times. The occupiers used drones, aerial bombs, and artillery in these strikes.

Earlier, it was reported that damage to power infrastructure was recorded in the Brovary community as a result of the enemy attack.

Russia’s war against Ukraine is taking on the characteristics of a total war — The Kyiv Independent.

Earlier, Ukraine certified the long-range “Dovbush T40” UAV.

As a reminder, the Russian oil refinery “Orsknefteorgsintez” halted oil processing following an attack by Ukrainian drones on August 11.
