Russia stops Ukrainian offensive in Belgorod, Kursk, Bryansk
During the night of September 4 and 5, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted to attack Russian territory with missiles, suicide drones and unmanned suicide boats.
In a statement, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Russian air defense forces intercepted two Vilkha missiles along with two drones over the Belgorod region, three drones over the Kursk region and two drones over the Bryansk region.
The Russian Defense Ministry report added that Russian forces also destroyed two suicide drones in the northeastern Black Sea but did not disclose details of the incident.
The ministry and Russian media did not report any casualties or material damage in Belgorod, Kursk, Bryansk or any other regions as a result of the failed Ukrainian offensive.
Just a day earlier, the Russian military had destroyed four suicide drones launched by Kiev forces into the Black Sea. In addition, a Ukrainian missile attack on a market in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic left 14 people dead.
The Kiev government has stepped up attacks on Russian territory in recent months, even launching an offensive against Kursk in early August.
Russian drone attack destroys Ukraine's Malakhit-M radar station
On September 4, information about Russia destroying a Ukrainian mobile radar station was made public. Video recording the attack was also released by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
In a statement sent to TASS news agency on Wednesday, the Russian Defense Ministry said the Malakhit-M radar station was detected by an aerial reconnaissance aircraft in Ukraine's Sumy region, an area bordering Russia's Kursk region.
The radar station was later completely destroyed by a Lancet suicide drone, officials added.
The footage shows the Malakhit radar station, which was located in a dense forest, being hit by a suicide drone. Minutes after the explosion, the radar station was completely engulfed in flames, with columns of smoke rising into the air.
The Malakhit-M is a modernized version of the Soviet-era P-18 radar station introduced in the 1970s. It can detect small, low-signal targets at ranges of up to 400km. As of 2022, the Ukrainian military is estimated to have about 50 such radar stations.
As drones have become one of the most prominent features of the Ukraine conflict, Russia has been actively using Lancet drones to attack various Ukrainian targets, including Western-supplied tanks.
The Lancet drone was developed by ZALA Aero Group. Compared to when it was first launched, this drone has some improvements, it can carry a payload of up to 3kg with a maximum range of 50km.
