Russia launches huge attacks upon Ukraine,entire country under alerts
August 26, 2024
At about 10:00 PM EDT last night, Russia sortied at least eleven (11) Tu-95 Bombers into the air toward either Ukraine or toward launch positions in the Caspian Sea. All of Ukraine went under air raid warning sirens, as seen on the map above.
At about 11:00 PM EDT, Russia had at least four Kalibr Missile launch vehicles in the Black Sea, which left port in the Krasnodar Krai Oblast:
- 1 submarine
- 2 frigates
- 1 missile boat
This setup allowed for a potential salvo of up to 24 Kalibr missiles.
At that same hour, Russia had already launched at least 55 Shaheed Attack Drones over Ukraine:
In addition to the Tu-95's, and the naval vessels, Russia also prepared at least 9 MiG-31s for sorties.
With an inventory of 6 Tu-22, 9 MiG-31k, 11 Tu-95, 2 Su-57 and 4 Kalibr missile vessels, most observers believed whatever attack was planned against Ukraine, it was going to be very large.
Suddenly Explosions began in Ukraine's Krivoy Rog from Iskander missiles. Shortly thereafter, as one observer stated, there were "Explosions all over the bloody shop."
Then, a significant number of cruise missiles made their presence known, as they made radical maneuvers to avoid air defenses, as seen on the map below:
Reports almost immediately began coming in about at least four "huge" explosions in and around Kiev. Next came reports of multiple explosions in Kharkov.
What no one knew was that in addition to the firepower outlines above, Russia also sortied "over 100" Geran-2 kamikaze UAVs at targets on the territory of Ukraine. Explosions were heard and seen almost everywhere!
In addition to Kiev and Kharkiv, there were also multiple strikes against Dnepropetrovsk, Khmelnytskyi, Lviv, Vinnitsa, and Odessa.
Then, to the severe dismay of Ukraine, Russia's MiG-31s flew to refuel, reload, and then took off again.
Kh-101 cruise missiles began hitting targets, and three more explosions thundered near Zhulyany airport in Kiev.
When it was all said and done, the following places were ALL successfully struck by Russia last night:
- Mirgorod/district – explosions
- Kharkov/district – explosions
- Krivoy Rog/district – explosions
- Kremenchuk/district – explosions
- Vinnytsia/district/region – explosions
- Kropyvnytskyi/district – explosions
- Khmelnitsky/district – explosions
- Zaporizhzhia/district – explosions
- Dnepropetrovsk/district – explosions
- Brovary/district – explosions
- Chernigov/district – explosions
- Kiev/district – explosions
- Nikolaev/district – explosions
- Lutsk/district – explosions
- Odessa/district – explosions
- Ivano-Frankivsk – explosions
- Poltava/district – explosions
- Zhytomyr/district – explosions
- Lvov/district/region – explosions
- Rivne/district – explosions
- Ternopil/district/region – explosions
- Volyn/district – explosions
- Stryi/district – explosions
- Bukovel/district – explosions
- Drohobych/district – explosions
So fierce was Russia's onslaught that the entire country of Ukraine was reported to be without electrical power. The head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy, Galushchenko, speaking about the total power outage in the country, said: “The energy sector is in a difficult situation after a massive missile attack.”
More than 60 missiles and 100 drones were used by Russia in the attack on Ukraine over two hours.
Also, late last night, after numerous Ukrainian violations of Belarusian airspace Belarus began moving thousands of troops toward Ukraine's north border.
Ukraine loudly objected, and pleaded with Belarus to withdraw the troops and armor.
It now
seems Belarus may join Russia to bring the US proxy war to an end.
A Ukrainian surrender before the U.S. elections in November is a nightmare for Kamala Harris. Biden/Harris should never have provoked this war.
