My latest post in my blog series on the Ukraine war. I look at Ukraine's 40 day offensive at Russian economic targets
and what we can expect in the fighting.

Footage showing strikes by Russian ODAB-500 bombs—equipped with UMPK guidance modules—against Ukrainian army positions near the settlement of Sergeyevka. The ODAB-500 bombs were dropped by a Su-34 frontline fighter-bomber. The ODAB-500 bomb was developed in the USSR in the late 1980s.
The Russian army launched another missile strike on Kyiv on the night of August 20. The attack involved 13 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles, 8 Iskander-M ballistic missiles, 2 Kh-23 missiles, and presumably North Korean KN-23 missiles. It is worth noting that air defense systems in Kyiv are currently inactive due to the cessation of Patriot missile deliveries to Ukraine.
Targets hit in Kyiv on August 20:
1. The Fire Point LLC facility. It manufactures components for strike UAVs. Boosters used in Flamingo cruise missiles were also assembled and stored there.
2. The Ukrspecsystems commercial and warehouse complex, which handled the production of strike UAV components, the large-scale assembly of fixed-wing UAVs, and their storage.
3. The Antonov State Enterprise. It produces the long-range An-196 "Lyutyi" UAV and develops and manufactures various types of manned aircraft.
4. An ammunition depot containing M-900 thermobaric aerial bombs, anti-tank mines, and munitions for heavy drones such as the "Baba Yaga."
