π’British defense ministry: The leadership of Russia's Aerospace Forces (VKS) is highly likely under intense pressure to improve air defences over western Russia. In recent months, the range of threats penetrating well inside Russia has increased. Strikes deep inside Russia are strategically important because President Putin almost certainly invaded Ukraine on the assumption that it would have little direct effect on Russians. Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles are regularly hitting Moscow. In addition, there have also been increasing reports of SA-5 GAMMON missiles striking Russia. This Soviet-era 7.5 tonne, 11-metre long weapon is retired from its air defence role in Ukraine's inventory. However, it is now apparently being employed as a ground attack ballistic missile. Pressure is likely to particularly fall on VKS Chief of Staff, Colonel-General Viktor Afzalov; VKS Commander-in-Chief General Sergei Surovikin remains absent, suspected to have been detained in relation to the June 2023 Wagner Group mutiny.
π’Russian defense minstry: Russian armed forces have foiled attempts by the Kiev regime to carry out terrorist attacks by fixed-wing drones against facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation. One drone was suppressed by electronic warfare equipment over Moscow region and, having lost control, crashed in a deserted area. Over the territory of Belgorod region, one drone was shot down by air defence systems. Russian units successfully repelled more than 20 attacks by the Ukrainian armed forces in Zaporozhye, Donetsk, Kupyansk, and Krasny Liman directions. Press centre representatives of Zapad, Vostok, Yug, and Tsentr groups of forces make statements on current situation in the areas of responsibility.

π’British defense ministry: On 19 August 2023, a Tu-22M3 BACKFIRE medium bomber of Russia's Long Range Aviation (LRA) was highly likely destroyed at Soltsky-2 Airbase in Novgorod Oblast, 650 km away from Ukraine's border. The Russian Defence Ministry said that a copter-style uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) was responsible for the attack. If true, this adds weight to the assessment that some UAV attacks against Russian military targets are being launched from inside Russian territory. Copter UAVs are unlikely to have the range to reach Soltsky-2 from outside Russia. Russia has frequently used BACKFIRE bombers to launch the notoriously inaccurate AS-4 KITCHEN heavy anti-ship missiles against Ukraine. Early in the war, they also carried out the intense bombardment of Mariupol using unguided bombs. This is at least the third successful attack on LRA airfields, again raising questions about Russia's ability to protect strategic locations deep inside the country.
π’Russian defense ministry: Zaporozhye direction, as a result of coordinated actions by units the Russian grouping of troops, supported by Missile Troops' units, artillery, heavy flamethrower systems and aviation, 5 attacks by units of the 82nd Airborne Assault Brigade of the AFU strategic reserve have been repelled. One ammunition depot of the 65th Mechanised Brigade of the AFU has been destroyed. Air defence facilities have shot down 1 Su-25 aircraft of Ukrainian Air Force near Starorayskoye (Donetsk People's Republic), and have intercepted 3 projectiles of Uragan and HIMARS multiple-launch rocket systems. At around 06:50 Moscow time, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack by a fixed-wing drone was thwarted. At 08.16 Moscow time, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack by a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle was thwarted. At around 14.30 Moscow time, the Kiev regime attempted to conduct a terrorist attack using a fixed-wing UAV. Russian air defence systems detected and destroyed the UAV over the territory of Belgorod region. At around 16:00 Moscow time, the Kiev regime made another attempt to conduct a terrorist attack using a fixed-wing UAV over the territory of Belgorod region. Russian air defence systems detected and destroyed the UAV. Press centre representatives of Zapad, Vostok, Yug, and Tsentr groups of forces make statements on current situation in the areas of responsibility. Russian Defence Ministry shows reconnaissance units in Krasny Liman direction, the Msta-S self-propelled artillery system, Russian paratroopers outskirts of Artyomovsk, and Su-35S multipurpose fighter aircraft in action, as well as the destruction of an AFU armoured personnel carrier, the destruction of armoured vehicles.
