MILITARY TUBE TODAY - FPV drone of Russian Armed Forces greeted a Slovenian-made armored personnel carrier armed with 12.7 mm heavy machine guns, and some modified with 20 mm automatic cannons, carrying a group of military passengers to attack Olgovka in the Kursk region. A video went viral on social media on August 21, 2024, showing a rare BOV wheeled vehicle engulfed in flames after being hit by a drone while driving on an asphalt road in West Olgovka. One of 26 BOV supplied by Slovenia, carrying about eight Ukrainian soldiers plus the commander and driver, had a large burning fragment fall from the vehicle as it drove. Meanwhile, Russian drones documented the destruction process, in which only one lucky soldier managed to escape from the vehicle, which could carry a total of ten people.
Judging by the battlefield images, it seems that Kiev’s invasion of the Kursk region, will soon involve all kinds of weapons and equipment showered by the West. But, the BOV vehicle represents one of them, burning almost everywhere along the border since the beginning of this month. Analysts have called the Ukrainian offensive on Kursk the worst military operation of the 21st century in terms of the ratio of results to resources spent. In a video on August 22, one Ukrainian prisoner told the story, saying, “We were destroyed and all the vehicles were burned. I am grateful that I was captured and I am alive,” he said.

MILITARY TUBE TODAY - Russian Air Defense Forces brilliantly shot down 45 Ukrainian UAV in a large-scale night raid, the Russian Defense Ministry reported, on August 21, 2024. From Moscow to Murmansk, Ukrainian drones tried to attack targets in western Russia over the past 24 hours. The first explosions were heard in Podolsk at about 3 am, after which residents of the city heard loud sounds every 15-20 minutes. Unfortunately, all 45 kamikaze drones that tried to attack Russian cities that night were destroyed! In total, 11 were shot down over the Moscow region, another 23 were destroyed over the Bryansk region, 6 over the Belgorod region, 3 over Kalushka, and 2 over the Kursk region, the Defense Ministry detailed.
But in a slightly interesting development, a Ukrainian drone carrying explosives was shot down during the day by air defenses near the closed military settlement of Vysoky in the Murmansk region. It is about 1800 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, and is located in the Arctic Circle. A UAV or rather an Aeroprakt A-22 aircraft, converted into a UAV with a longer range. According to preliminary data, the target was the Olenya airfield from which the Russian strategic bomber took off, but failed. So far, Murmansk airfield has been operating as usual after the restriction of airspace. Meanwhile, according to the Head of Ukrainian Intelligence, Kyrulo Budanov, said that in total about 50 drones were used that day, attacking the signal intelligence center, carrying out attacks on the Ostafyevo airport in Moscow, and the Millerovo airbase in the Rostov region, but without reporting the results!
