- ZNPP will be undermined: the paths have been decided, the rashists are planning to carry out a terrorist attack in late August-early September, - TSN.
Russian channels began to write about this referring to sources in the Kremlin. In addition, the head of the Kremlin is planning almost simultaneously a man-made disaster at the Kursk nuclear power plant in order to blame Ukraine for this. 
As for the information about the possible undermining of the ZNPP:
You need to understand that this is only information from light brown channels, which cannot be verified. This is not a fact or a statement. Rashists almost always make stuff, but we have to react to them and show that they "said this or that." You need to understand the opinions of the enemy, even if it is complete "game".
So, we trust only official government sources, there is no information from our intelligence about a possible terrorist attack at the ZNPP yet.
But we note that yesterday the CNS wrote about a possible provocation at the Kursk nuclear power plant, which was prepared by the Russians.
- The mayor of Kremenchug purchased 15 gaming laptops for his mayor's office at a price of 99,000 thousand per laptop.
And this despite the fact that in stores the same laptop costs an average of 55,000 UAH.

- Attack helicopter Ka-52 "Alligator": tried to figure out why it is so important to destroy these Russian helicopters and what danger they carry?
Today's shooting down of two Ka-52s at once – very good and great result. This means that they either began to fly into the zone of action of our fighters from MANPADS, or we have improved things with air defense systems on the front end.
At the beginning of our counteroffensive, these helicopters gave us a lot of problems. They use the Vikhr anti-tank missile system. The missile of this complex can hit armored vehicles at a distance of 10 km, and it reaches the target in 28 seconds, so the helicopter quickly shoots back and does not enter the range of our fighters from MANPADS or air defense systems.
The fact that we began to actively shoot down "Alligators" it is in the directions where the Armed Forces of Ukraine are advancing that it says that the Russian advantage in the air is gradually leveled. Interestingly, according to preliminary estimates, as of August 10, approximately 51 Ka-52 units remained in Russia.
