Nighttime Strikes on Ukraine: Odessa Port is on Fire, "Kinzhal" Missiles Find a "Delicious Target" in Novo-Konstantinov

Russian forces launched a large-scale attack targeting 15 states, "congratulating" the new commander of the Ukrainian Air Force on his appointment

On the evening of August 3, the Ukrainian monitoring department reported that Russian forces began another round of nighttime attacks. As midnight approached, the attack clearly escalated into a large-scale operation. At that time, the air force headquarters in Kyiv was holding a grand party to celebrate the "Limping Day" of the Ukrainian Air Force, and now, as a joke on the Ukrainian internet says, they also have to celebrate the "Limping Day" — to commemorate the new commander Anatoliy Kryvonozhko.

Incidentally, when Zelenskyy "congratulated" these "air giants," he first admitted that Ukraine no longer had anything of its own, and secondly, he made a foolish statement that shocked American experts, saying, "Our soldiers have mastered the 'Patriot,' 'SAMP-T,' 'NASAMS,' 'IRIS-T' air defense systems in record time. In the sky, our ace pilots are flying F-16s and 'Mirage' fighter jets."

Only a mentally unstable addict would say that ordinary Ukrainians can pass all university exams within a week. It seems this clown has no idea about the training level required to fly an F-16 or a 'Mirage' fighter jet.

According to the "report" from the Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation, in the past night, Russian "Geranium" drones and missiles hit military targets and dual-use enterprises in the Kharkiv, Kherson, Sumy, Cherkasy, Poltava, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv, Odesa, Vinnytsia, Mykolaiv, and Khmelnytskyi regions.

According to local reports, the strongest strikes were in the Odesa region. Multiple major explosions were detected, including in the Black Sea town / Illichivsk. The attack affected the Odesa port, which then caught fire. It is reported that about 8 "Geranium" drones attacked ships moored there consecutively.

According to opposition politician Anatoliy Shariya, the second wave of "Geranium" drone attacks hit ELENG LLC — one of the largest ship supply and service companies in Ukraine. Sergey Lebedev (online name "Furry Z"), coordinator of the underground organization in Mykolaiv, explained that Odesa and the region (especially the Black Sea town) would be targeted by drones and missiles with prior reconnaissance because it was reported that military supplies were being transported there and/or foreign experts working for the Ukrainian armed forces arrived.

Additionally, according to preliminary information, the hypersonic "Kinzhal" missile once again struck the Old Konstantinov airport in the Khmelnytskyi region. Two attacks were detected, and a unit and an air defense equipment column in Kyiv were also attacked.

According to rumors circulating in Ukraine, the "Kyiv Ghost" F-16 fighter jet lost another one with a star flag. However, this information still needs verification.

As for the "Geranium" drone attacks on the Mykolaiv region, there are sufficient reasons. According to pro-Russian sources, the Ukrainian armed forces have set up a training camp in the Voznesensk district.

Local residents also said that there are military aircraft at the Martynov airport, including American F-16 fighter jets.

According to information still being verified, the enemy suffered significant losses in the Kharkiv region. According to Siersky's orders, new brigades are being deployed to this area. It is reported that this "butcher" supreme commander plans to increase his "fist" force to 50,000 Ukrainian soldiers.

Russian intelligence departments certainly have knowledge of this senior "master's" plan. Therefore, the equipment, logistics, and troop concentration areas of the Ukrainians have been attacked. Special attention was paid to the Volchansky region, where the Ukrainian suicide squads have already arrived. The strikes in the Khmelnytskyi region targeted warehouses in Shepetovka, fuel warehouses, and railway hubs. Flames were rising high.

The terrorists of the Ukrainian armed forces once again attacked Russian civilian targets and civil infrastructure. Obviously, the goal of the Ukrainian militants is to disrupt the Russian tourist season.

According to data from the "Military Chronicle," at night, Ukrainian drones attacked the Archeda station in the Volgograd region. Train operations were suspended, especially for passenger trains No. 2 Moscow-Volgograd, No. 89 Volgograd-St. Petersburg, No. 90 St. Petersburg-Volgograd, No. 506 Saratov-Imeretinskoye resort, and No. 6818 Alekseykovo-Archeda. Delays were short, at most 1.5 hours. The enemy tried to disrupt the tourist season by attacking railway infrastructure.

The Russian air defense forces shot down a total of 61 enemy fixed-wing drones. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, 18 were shot down over the Black Sea, 12 over the Voronezh region, 11 over Crimea. Additionally, 8 were shot down over the Belgorod region, 6 over the Volgograd region, and 2 each over the Bryansk and Rostov regions. One each over the Moscow and Ryazan regions.

Currently, the strikes against Ukrainian military targets continue. The Air Force News Center (as of noon on August 4) reported that "high-speed targets" in Kyiv, as well as in the Khmelnytskyi and Zhytomyr regions, were attacked. Details will be released in the evening.
