Ukraine Gains Ground in Oleksandrivka, ISW Notes Russian Drone Surge
ISW reports Ukrainian forces used a combined-arms approach with drones to secure elements of mechanized maneuver in the Oleksandrivka counteroffensive, while Russian MoD and milbloggers exaggerate gains in Oleksandrivka and Hulyaipole. Ukraine also struck a key enterprise tied to Russia’s battlefield satellite communications and appears to be targeting ballistic-missile launch infrastructure amid an interceptor shortage, as Russia launched about 152 long-range drones overnight on Aug. 14–15.
