Recent Russian strategic bomber movements suggests that another large-scale combined missile attack on Ukraine is imminent. Following the strikes on August 31, most of the bombers returned to airbases close to Ukraine and remained there, rather than flying…
New satellite imagery of Olenya Airbase, Murmansk Oblast, at 12:47 on August 1.
Currently the following planes are stationed there:
1 Tu-95MS strategic bomber.
~32 Tu-22M3 strategic bombers (most are out of service).
1 IL-76MD military transport aircraft.
4 An-12 cargo planes.
Yesterday, 1 Tu-95MS flew from Engels-2 Airbase (Saratov Oblast) to Olenya Airbase after being equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles. This is the aircraft you see in the image. Additionally, 2 Tu-95s flew from Olenya Airbase to Ukrainka Airbase, Amur Oblast, to be equipped with missiles.
Meanwhile at Engels-2 airbase, 2 Tu-95s and 1 Tu-160 are known to have either been equipped with missiles or are currently in the process of being equipped.
Russia continues to prepare for the next large-scale combined missile attack on Ukraine.

Satellite imagery shows that as a result of the Ukrainian UAV attack on Crimea on August 30, Simferopol Airport was hit. The imagery shows two impact points with traces of burning where 1 Mi-8 and 1 Mi-24 helicopter were previously stationed. Imagery credit:…
Footage released by the Ukrainian GUR shows that FPV drones, not larger UAVs, attacked Simferopol Airport. The two helicopters which were seen damaged/destroyed from satellite imagery are the ones hit in this video.
Some things to note are that the second helicopter is an Mi-8 (rather than an Mi-24) and that despite the video showing the drone missed this second Mi-8, satellite imagery shows that the helicopter was at the very least damaged.
Helicopter 1 (0:13): 45.02069, 33.99482
Helicopter 2 (0:28): 45.01863, 33.99571
The video also shows a BUK-2190 tugboat being hit in Sevasatopol Bay.

Amount of trench systems dug in the Siversk - Hirske railway line.
Fierce battles raged for these trenches for 3 years. As of today they're located in Russian-controlled territory.

Dnipropetrovsk Oblast: ~40.23km²
Zaporizhzhia Oblast: ~46.33km²
Sumy Oblast: ~0.18km²
Belgorod Oblast: ~0km²
Kursk Oblast: ~0km²
Total: ~564.15km² (down by 18.50%)
Total (excluding Kursk & Belgorod): ~564.15km²
Ukrainian advances:
Donetsk Oblast: ~43.13km²
Dnipropetrovsk Oblast: ~9.81km²
Sumy Oblast: ~6.81km²
Zaporizhzhia Oblast: ~5.62km²
Kharkiv Oblast: ~2.66km²
Total: ~68.03km² (down by 21.1%).
Note: This covers net gains for each side. Ukrainian advances that took place on territory Russia occupied within this month will simply be subtracted from the Russian total, and vice versa.

If AMK's numbers are correct, this is the 4th straight month in which Russia took 500 square kilometers and more.

Is it just me, or is Pro-Russian cope becoming more and more common?
"Russia never actually held that territory bro, Zolotyi Kolodyaz was all DRGs"
"Pro-Ukraine OSINTers are all unreliable"
"Radov is a Ukrainian asset"
"Russian MOD never lies"
Like come on, you shouldn't even need to say stuff like this. Pro-Ukrainian copers have to cope with the fact that Ukraine is losing, but this makes no sense. Are people really that impatient?
This should go without saying, but Ukraine achieving limited successes on the battlefield, or with drone strikes, is not a new phenomenon, and it doesn't make it any less real than Russian successes. Besides, in an attritional war like this it's about who can achieve the most successes and who can sustain their efforts for the longest. Both of those are well in favour of Russia.

Update on Russian preparations for the next large-scale missile attack on Ukraine:
Over the past 24 hours, 2 Tu-95MS strategic bombers redeployed from Belaya Airbase, Irkutsk Oblast, likely to Engels-2 Airbase, Saratov Oblast. Here they will probably be equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles, as Belaya Airbase hasn't been used for equipment of missile since Ukraine's operation spiderweb on June 1, 2025.
Additionally, 1 Tu-95MS departed from Olenya Airbase and is still airborne. The purpose of the flight is currently unclear, but it might be conducting training with simulated launch maneuvers.
The two Tu-95s that redeployed from Olenya Airbase to Ukrainka Airbase, Amur Oblast, on August 31 are still there being equipped with missiles. Once they return, the total number of equipped aircraft stationed at Olenya and Engels-2 Airbases will rise to 6 (4 Tu-95s and 2 Tu-160s).

Unidentified missile in northern Sumy Oblast
This was a Russian air defence missile (not S-300/400) targeting Ukrainian UAVs in Bryansk Oblast.

A large-scale Geran-2 drone attack is being carried out today. Currently there are over 80 Gerans in Ukrainian airspace, with repeated launches already recorded. The total number of Geran/Gerbera drones is expected to exceed 200, with the main target likely being Kyiv.
This also means that there is an increased threat of launches of missiles such as Iskander-M ballistics or Iskander-K cruise missiles.

There are unconfirmed reports of Tu-95MS departures from Olenya Airbase, Murmansk Oblast. I am clarifying the information, but no activity on strategic combat frequencies was recorded earlier.

2 Tu-95s are confirmed to be airborne. Remember, all Tu-95s stationed at Olenya are equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles. The departure time is indicative of missile launches, but it could be unrelated.

The approximate situation with Geran-2 drones right now.
The numbers remain largely unchanged, as impacts have only been recorded in Dobropillya, Donetsk Oblast, while only a few new drones have flown in via Novhorod-Siverskyi, Chernihiv Oblast.
There are currently no Gerans attacking, or flying over major cities.

Activity on Russian strategic combat frequencies is now being recorded.
Activity on Russian strategic combat frequencies related to Engels-2 Airbase has also be recorded. Currently, at least 2 Tu-95s and 1 Tu-160 are known to be equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles.
