Ukrainian special forces reportedly destroyed 17 Russian air defense, radar, and electronic warfare systems, valued at over $250 million, within a four-day period. The targeted systems included multiple Tor-M2s, Pantsir-S1s, S-300 systems, a Buk-M3, various radars, and electronic warfare systems, according to a report by front_ukrainian. In a separate development, Ukrainian troops are said to have encircled Russian forces in the Kuczeriw Jar region near Vilnine, placing the approximately 2 km wide corridor in the gray zone under Ukrainian fire control. Offensive actions north of Vilne towards Kuczeriw Jar have seen Ukrainian assault groups advance 1.5 km east, capturing a forest complex. Russian forces have reportedly dropped around 12 aerial bombs in attempts to halt these advances. The Ukrainian 2 BAT 12 Brigade GN "Azov", potentially supported by other units, is involved in these operations, aiming to bind Russian forces, according to analysis of Sentinel imagery. Meanwhile, India's imports of Russian oil are projected to rise in September, a move that occurs in defiance of U.S. policy, Reuters reported. Additionally, the President of Portugal, Rebelo de Sousa, stated that Donald Trump "functions as an asset," according to a report by NEXTA TV.
