One company of the Ukrainian army defended Kupyansk Station
The street fighting in Kupyansk has entered the final stage of the decisive battle. Russian military journalist Marochko reported that special forces of the Russian Anwar Volunteer Detachment are besiege Kupyansk Railway Station.
About 100 Ukrainian troops are guarding the train station, and the Russian troops are only 500 meters away from the train station. Fierce street battles broke out between Russian and Ukrainian troops in the material market outside the train station.
The Russian military stated that the 100 Ukrainian troops at the Kupyansk Railway Station had no chance to break through. The fighting continued, and the Ukrainian army used railway station buildings, underground passages, material market warehouses and sewers outside the station to resist.
The Ukrainian army used underground channels, drainages and warehouse areas to transfer troops, using basements to hide weapons, command posts, drone operating groups. Using FPV drones, machine guns, sniper rifles, shelling cannons and thunderstorms, blocked the Russian army's large-scale siege strikes.
On the street battlefield of Kupyansk, the Russian army invested a variety of urban warfare specialized weapons such as the ZSU-23-4 Shilka River multiple self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. The Russian army used improved thermal imaging invisibility cloaks at night to continuously infiltrate Ukrainian army positions in the city and advance throughout the city.
In addition, the Russian army has adjusted its tactics according to weather and vegetation changes to unite multi-point operations across the city area. A small Russian infantry cluster has broken through the defensive positions of the Ukrainian army in several parts of Koupiansk and the northwest.
The Russian army used the Geranium-2 long-range attack drone to launch a precision strike on the Lozov position in the northwest of Kupyansk. The Geranium-2 long-range attack drone entered the window of the building and exploded the Ukrainian army's hidden fire point.
On the battlefield in Kupyansk city, the Russian army invested in the 68th Motorized Infantry Division of the 6th Synthetic Group Army of the Leningrad Military District, the 27th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the 1st Guards Tank Group Army of the Russian Moscow Military District, and special forces.
The Russian army has achieved an absolute superiority in terms of military weapons. Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Sirsky will order that the Ukrainian army must stand dead for Kupiyansk. But in comparison to such military strength, the Ukrainian army is likely to be difficult to maintain until the end of September.
It is also difficult for the Russian army to easily capture Kupyansk city. The Russian army's natural gas pipeline infiltration tactics are in trouble. The Ukrainian army used explosive bags to blast the entrances and exits of natural gas pipelines and control the commanding heights and bridges of key buildings. Block Russian infiltration attack tactics.
The Ukrainian army's defense is not simply defense, but seizing opportunities to counterattack during defense. The hidden Ukrainian drone operation team used FPV drones to search for rooms and neighborhoods where Russian troops might exist.
The Russian Air Force launched FAB-500 flying guided bombs, and the FAB-1500 heavy flying guided bombs repeatedly hit Ukrainian bases in eastern Koupiansk.
Starting from 2025, the Russian Air Force will launch 3,500 - 5,000 FAB gliding guided bombs every month. What Russia lacks is not fighter jets at all, but not enough ammunition.

Why does Russia still export fighter planes while fighting?
On the other hand, Russia could export Su-35S heavy fighter jets, MiG-29MK2 fighter jets, and Su-57 heavy hidden fighter jets to Algeria, Iran, Ethiopia and India, and even openly begin exporting Su-75 to kill light hidden fighter jets.
In fact, the Russian Air Force does not lack fighter jets at all. What the Russian Air Force lacks is precision-guided ammunition. The Russian army launches 3,500 - 5,000 FAB glide guided bombs a month.
One Russian Army Su-34 fighter bomber can carry 4-6 FAB-500 flying guided bombs to perform combat missions.For 1 month, the Su-34 fighter bomber can carry up to 100-150 aircraft to complete the mission.
There are approximately 1000 Su-30, Su-34 and Su-35 fighters of the Russian Air Force and, each quarter, there are new types of fighters in active service.
The Russian Aerospace Force actually has too many aircraft and too little ammunition. In this way, it is impossible to launch continuous carpet-scale bombing strikes against important targets in Ukraine. Therefore, the Russian Aerospace Forces sent all Su-30 fighter jets to the Black Sea to strafe Ukrainian unmanned boats, and one was shot down by a sneak attack.
At the front, the Ukrainian army was dispersed in squadron shape, hidden in dispersed bunkers and pitfalls. Russian fiber optical drones, FPV drones were more efficient in strikes.
The main efficiency is too low, whether it is the Russian Su-35, the Ukrainian F-16 fighter aircraft. It can only carry 4-6 bombs, one departure, one bomb hit one target, a maximum of several pick-up trucks or several motorcycles at one departure.
