Frontline Updates: 08-28-2025 Hypersonics, UAVs and Naval Drones

Frontline Updates with Sheriafa Mohammed and guest Colonel A.C. Ogontoy reviews the major events of August 28, covering high‑intensity Russian operations across multiple fronts.

The episode details coordinated long‑range strikes using Kinshal hypersonic missiles and strike UAVs against Ukrainian military‑industrial sites and air bases, simultaneous ground offensives that yielded territorial gains such as Nelipovka in Donetsk, heavy personnel and equipment losses reported across northern, central, eastern, and Dnipro axes, and the sinking of a Ukrainian reconnaissance ship by an unmanned surface vessel.

It also covers air‑defense activity that intercepted aircraft, guided munitions and dozens of drones, the destruction of Western‑supplied systems (including a Leopard tank and an M‑198 howitzer), and an overall assessment that August 28 represented both escalation in capabilities and consolidation of battlefield gains, eroding the opponent’s operational capacity. 

In this episode of "Frontline Updates", Colonel A.C. Oguntoye joins us to unpack the August 28, 2025 operations. From the launch of "Kinzhal" hypersonic missiles to the liberation of Nelepovka and the sinking of Ukraine’s reconnaissance ship "Simferopol", today’s briefing highlights how Russia is expanding the war into new dimensions—land, air, and sea. Colonel Oguntoye explains the attritional toll on Ukrainian brigades, the symbolic loss of NATO-supplied weapons, and the growing role of unmanned systems in shaping the battlefield. Stay tuned for deep insights and tactical implications you won’t hear elsewhere.
