,,Ukrainian intelligence has also accused Russia of planning to attack Ukraine in a "massive shelling event" on its Independence day.

"The threat of massive shelling on the territory of Ukraine with S-300 missiles is obvious. Considering the arrival of several trains [from Russia] before Aug. 20, it is clear that the Russians are preparing to attack Ukraine on Aug. 24," the Centre for Strategic Communications (StratCom), a Ukrainian NGO, wrote on its website and Telegram channel on Thursday.''

https://missilethreat.csis.org/defsys/s-300/
,,The S-300 is a family of Russian-made surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems capable of engaging aircraft and UAVs in addition to providing some cruise and ballistic missile defense capability. The S-300P variant, also known as the SA-10 Grumble, was designed by the Soviet Union during the 1960s and 70s, and is used only for air defense. Derived from the S-300P is the S-300V, also known as the SA-23A Gladiator and the SA-23B Giant, which is equipped with an anti-ballistic missile capability, and is similar in several respects to the U.S. Patriot Advanced Capability-2 (PAC-2).''


,,S-300V Specifications
The S-300V uses 9M83 and 9M82 missiles to target ballistic warheads across a 40 km radius. The 9M83 is 7.5 m long, 0.5 m wide, and can target aircraft at 75 km. The 9M82 is 10 m long, 0.85 m wide, and can target aircraft at 100 km.17 The export missile variant, the Antei 2500, is similar to the 9M82, but extends the anti-aircraft range up to 200 km. All three missile variants carry 150 kg fragmentation warheads with inertial guidance systems and semi-active radars to find their targets.18

The system uses the 9A83ME four tube launcher vehicle for the SA-23A Gladiator and the 9A84ME two tube launcher vehicle for the SA-23B Giant.19

If they're located in south & could not reach north/Belarus, maybe the true intention of orcs is to lure HIMARS/ATACMS further north away from Kherson and especially - Crimea.

Loosing those railroads and bridges in Crimea, must be hitting em painfully.

"It took three refrigerators to take their bodies out of the city."

Four powerful explosions were recorded at a cotton mill in Russian-captured Kherson, which hosted enemy personnel and equipment.
That’s according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Ukrinform reports.

"As a result of the effective action on the part of Ukraine’s Defense Forces, four powerful explosions were recorded at warehouse 2 of Alcoresurs LLC on the territory of the Kherson cotton mill, where the Russian occupiers’ personnel and equipment were based. Tentative reports say 180 Ruscists were killed. It took three refrigerators to take their bodies out of the city. Several dozen more were taken to Kherson medical facilities in a critical condition," the report says.

Might have been more respectful and proper if the article referred to this woman as "a Ukrainian woman" rather than a Russian for gawd's sake. She has Ukrainian citizenship and has been fighting with Ukraine since 2014 in the Donbass.

Henry Kissinger- as one of thousands of examples- was born in Germany and served with the American forces in Germany during the war. Is he going to be referred to as "a German man" in the article headlines when his burial time comes?

C'mon man. "A Ukrainian woman of Russian origin" is the proper reference in context. Otherwise, simply a Ukrainian. A Russian born person living in the U.S. with American citizenship is known as "an American", duh.

Ukraine pays tribute to Russian woman killed fighting against Putin

Fighting in the middle of Kherson City, Ukraine - between Russian forces and Ukrainian commandos

I read other sources which tell that it is a fight between the Russian army and the Russian FSB. So not against Ukrainians.

It is probably Russians fighting over boats and loot to drag with them when they retreat...
