"Since early August, the SBS has killed 5,000 Russian soldiers," said Madyar
Robert Brovdy (Madyar), Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, stated that Ukraine may soon face an intensification of Russian missile strikes and attacks by jet-powered drones.
“The current and upcoming challenges and difficulties are clear: the enemy’s escalation of missile and jet-powered kamikaze drone strikes, a poorly concealed but already well-known post-election mobilization, hesitation among our partners, and so on. We must do our part—return the pain to the enemy,” said the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces.
According to Brovdi, between August 1 and 15, the Unmanned Systems Forces struck approximately 5,000 Russian servicemen.
This, by his estimates, amounts to an average of 333 occupiers killed each day.
The commander of the UAS Forces expressed confidence that the traditional August figure of 10,000 Russian soldiers killed and wounded will be reached.
Madyar also reported on the results of other operations by the Unmanned Systems Forces.
“‘MoLoChKa’ is operational (22 TF vessels are already halfway through August, for a total of 228 since the start of the operation), ‘Crimean Circuit Breaker Off’ maintains a blackout (74 (243 over 45 days) power nodes in two weeks; the ‘one hour per day’ schedule is being firmly maintained on the peninsula), the Novorossiya route is playing out a Mad Max-style scenario, and the window to the sky—the air defense down—is being kept open. “To be continued,” Madyar noted.
According to him, the Ukrainian military continues to work on striking Russian military infrastructure and weakening the enemy’s capabilities.

Earlier, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) struck 1,816 Russian military targets over the past 24 hours.
In addition, the 412th Separate “Nemesis” Unmanned Systems Brigade reported large-scale strikes against Russian military logistics. According to the brigade, in July alone, its troops struck and destroyed nearly 500 vehicles and about 400 motorcycles and military buggies. According to the military, the drones struck some of the targets far from the front lines—at distances of up to 200 kilometers or more.
Rosneft’s Saratov oil refinery halted oil processing following a drone attack. According to Reuters, the shutdown was caused by damage to production facilities and fires that broke out as a result of the strike.
