Ukraine’s Mig-29 strikes Russian bridge | Military Mind

In this episode of Military Mind on TVP World, host Yashinski delivers a comprehensive breakdown of recent escalation points, tactical frontline developments, and precision air operations across the war in Ukraine.

Here is a detailed overview of the key reports covered in the video:

1. Massive Russian Air and Missile Assault Across Ukraine [00:06]

Overnight into July 30, Russian forces launched a massive combined attack using 74 missiles and nearly 300 drones:

Kyiv Region: Ballistic missile strikes caused damage and left five pe

ople wounded, including a child.

Lviv: A missile strike hit residential areas, damaging over 20 apartment buildings, schools, and two kindergartens, leaving 31 people injured.

Dnipro Region: Six people were killed (including three children) and eight others were wounded, with rescue teams searching through collapsed rubble.

Kherson: Emergency services were directly targeted, with a fire engine damaged in the attack.

Polish Airspace Incident: Footage revealed an unidentified object—likely a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile—crashing

inside Polish territory following a bright flash and explosion in the sky.

2. Ukrainian Long-Range Drone Strikes Inside Russia [01:38]

Ukrainian forces conducted deep-strike drone operations against critical logistics and energy infrastructure inside Russia:

Penza Region: A strike hit a Wildberries logistics hub, causing a massive warehouse fire and injuring one person.

Krasnodar Region: Drones struck a port facility and a major privately-owned oil terminal, triggering large fires.

3. Escalation in Northern Donbas & Battle for K

ostiantynivka [02:09]

Following the appointment of Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi as Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine's Land Forces:

Russian troops have accelerated their push toward the Kramatorsk–Sloviansk urban area.

Intense urban fighting continues in Kostiantynivka, where Ukrainian assault units are contesting street-by-street.

Strategic Objective: By continuing to fight inside Kostiantynivka, Ukrainian forces prevent Russia from establishing local drone operations and using the city as a staging area to push toward Druzhkivk

a and Kramatorsk.

4. Counter-Artillery Operations by the "Mara" Battalion [03:37]

Operators from the Mara Battalion of Ukraine’s 66th Separate Mechanized Brigade targeted Russian artillery units along the frontline, systematically destroying enemy howitzers, cannons, and mortars.

5. MiG-29 Strike with French AASM "Hammer" Bombs in Kursk [05:25]

In the Kursk region, a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jet delivered a precision airstrike on a key bridge using French AASM Hammer guided bombs:

The strike severed a vital supply and rotation r

oute used by Russian ground units.

The host highlights Ukrainian technological adaptability—integrating NATO-standard precision munitions onto Soviet-era jet frames, similar to the hybrid FrankenSAM air defense systems.

6. Record High-Altitude Interception by the Lasarus Group [06:57]

Special operations fighters from the Lasarus Group (Ukrainian National Guard) set a high-altitude drone interception record:

A Russian Zala Z-20 reconnaissance drone—operating as an "eye in the sky" for long-range artillery and missile vectoring—wa

s destroyed at an altitude of 6,400 meters above sea level (nearly 1,000 meters higher than Mount Everest Base Camp).

7. Downed Loitering Munition in Mykolaiv Sky [08:18]

On July 28, Ukrainian air defense units and mobile fire teams in the Mykolaiv region intercepted and destroyed a low-altitude Russian loitering munition using layered radar tracking and ground-based fire.
