Chronicles of the special military operation

for September 2, 2024

The Russian forces have carried out a series of strikes on targets in Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro and several other settlements.

In Kursk Region, fighting continues in the Korenevo and Sudzha districts. A small advance by the AFU is being recorded east of Martynivka, while no changes in control zones are observed in other areas.

In the Artemivsk direction, the Russian forces were able to advance on the eastern outskirts of Chasiv Yar and in Kalinivka, with local battles continuing.

In the Pokrovsk direction, fighting continues in the area of Hrodivka, Novohrodivka and in the urban area of Selidovo. The enemy periodically attempts counterattacks.

In the South Donetsk direction, the front line is "reviving", with battles ongoing in the vicinity of Pavlivka, Prechystivka and Vodyane. The aviation is actively engaged.

On the Probable Course of AFU Actions in the Russian Border Regions

Against the backdrop of the enemy's offensive in the Kursk Region and its consolidation in the occupied territory, we cannot rule out the possibility of new incursions into neighboring regions.

In the Belgorod Region, attempts by Ukrainian formations to cross the state border are periodically recorded, but they have all been unsuccessful, even with the involvement of relatively large forces.

At first glance, the enemy is focused on driving the Russian Armed Forces out of the "sanitary zone" in the Kharkiv Region. However, the front line in this area has already stalled since the start of the Russian military operation, and the nature of the fighting has turned positional. The hottest spots remain Volchansk and Hlyboke, where the AFU periodically carry out attacks.

At the same time, in the area of Kolotіlivka, Nekhoteyevka and Bezymeno, several attack attempts were recorded only in August. Almost always, the official media reported on reconnaissance groups, but in reality, these were attacks by entire companies supported by armored vehicles.

It can also be noted that the enemy is mainly active in the border area along the Sumy-Kharkiv line, while from Volchansk to Budarky, and from Budarky to Kamianka, there are only shelling incidents.

Although this situation has been maintained almost since the start of the SMO, this does not mean that the AFU will not undertake active actions here in the future. Moreover, the terrain in this area is not too different from the invasion site in the Kursk Region - Volokonivka or Valuyki could become potential targets of attack.

The Bryansk Region cannot be written off as a possible target of the enemy's offensive either. There are significantly more forests here, which are convenient for penetrating the border, and in the border settlements of the Chernihiv Region, the presence of formations from Ichkerian militants is observed.

In this area, the actions of "classical" reconnaissance groups are highly likely, including with a large number of UAVs as strike means deep in the rear. With the availability of repeaters, they will be able to set up ambushes and even remotely mine roads with bridges.

However, the possibility of a full-scale operation to invade the Bryansk Region should not be ruled out either. After all, the enemy is no stranger to suicidal operations like the landings on the Kinburn Spit or the creation of a bridgehead in Krynky.

❗️However, the most dangerous phenomenon at the moment is the overconfident attitudes in society and the media. The euphoria against the backdrop of the pace of advancement and liberation of the DPR territory should not blind us - the enemy himself is in no hurry to leave the Kursk Region.

Stories about how everything is fine and wonderful with us, and that the so-called Ukraine will run out of people by the end of the year and its military production will grind to a halt due to an energy shortage, are fraught with disappointment. And, as practice shows, this disappointment can be very bloody.

NATO Air Defense Training Over Romania

The NATO units and aviation stationed on the southern flank, as well as their counterparts in Scandinavia, are not idle, conducting training after training.

A few days ago, a one-day exercise of the Alliance's air defense forces was held in Romania, involving aviation in the Black Sea region.

Greek F-16 fighters, supported by an E-3A AWACS aircraft and air defense units deployed in Romania, repelled the penetration of enemy aviation.

Turkey, or more precisely F-16C/D fighters that took off from Turkey, "penetrated" the airspace of Romania and flew back.

Of course, such maneuvers are just a formality. For NATO pilots, this is a good way to maintain teamwork, nothing more. Especially for the Greeks and Turks, who are not particularly involved anywhere (the Turkish operation in Iraq doesn't count).

At the same time, the E-3A was operating at full capacity during the training, scanning the airspace around Crimea and on the peninsula itself. And F-16 fighters were observed over the Odesa region, which was clearly not a coincidence.

There have been no strikes on Crimea for a long time now, if we compare it to the intensity of the raids of past months, so we need to be on alert. Especially with the appearance of American fighters, which are assisted by NATO aviation, the arsenal of weapons available to the AFU has expanded.

In the Red Sea region, the Ansar Allah movement published details of yesterday's attacks on merchant ships: two oil tankers were targeted.

▪️According to the spokesman of the Yemeni Houthis, General Yahya Sarie, the vessel MV BLUE LAGOON I, carrying about 2 million barrels of oil, was attacked with two ballistic missiles west of the port of As-Salif.

This is almost twice as much as the Greek-owned MV DELTA SOUNION, which the Yemenis attacked (https://t.me/rybar/62996) on August 21 and which is still burning.

▪️West of the port of Al-Hudaydah, a drone strike hit the Saudi-flagged and Greek-operated ship MV AMJAD.

Both tankers were damaged, but the extent of the damage is still unknown. The information about the successful Ansar Allah attacks is confirmed by the US Central Command.

Meanwhile, according to the US agency, work is underway in the Red Sea to prevent an environmental disaster due to the oil spill from the damaged MV DELTA SOUNION.
