Locals as if told Russian troops are abandoning (or partially withdrawing) from Studenok, Dovhen'ke, Shchurovo, Brusyno, Lyman - as if Russians told to locals they are going to Kherson, but this is RUMINT and unconfirmed.

I suppose this can be Kh-58E (export model on 200 km), It can be launched from Su-24M, but it also should have container with Fantasmogoria targeting system

What happened with PL01 project? Looked like Startroopers vehicle ) You made decision to rise army capabilities as quick as possible and don't wait for this development? I wonder what we will do after war - either continue to develop some unclear "Molot" project (anyway based on 30-years old concept) or completely other tank will be started to develop "from zero", taking into account modern trends. Or we will buy foreign tanks like you. But our tank-producing lobby doesn't allow to do this

There was combined forces of 45th special forces and 31st air-assaault (and maybe some small number of FSB/Rosgvardia elite special forces). 45th Spetsnaz brihade also belongs to VDV command.

Novobohdanivka village, Zaporizhzhia ovlast, 22 km north from Melitopol. Strike or diversion on railroad. Here two railroad branches converge - from Melitopol to Vasylivka and from Novobohdanivka to Tokmak on the east.

Hymn of 30th brigade is outstanding! I never head about this group ) Tough medieval rock rythm matches to this brigade, named after prince Konstantyn Ostrozhskyi, famous Ruthenian warlord of glory times of PLC knightship, fought with Moskovia. Thouhg, theese songs continue a good trend, started several years ago - the new generation of musicians, part of which came from military (like Riffmaster) or from active patriotic environ, began to create new miliitary motivation music, based on rock or medieval rock style (like 30th hymn ) instead of Soviet-type pathetic. This trend was launched as far as by since 2014 by Azov - their normanic-vicings aesthetic attracted to them such rock groups like "Shadow of the Sun" and "Perun's axe" Here is also good example of modern UKR miltary music - the hymn of 10th mountain assault brigade "Edelveis" from Kozak System group, also rock, but some softer and with some Ukrainain folk tunes ) Also you can see pre-war equipment of brigde %)

This night was HIMARSed the hotel building in Krasnyi Luch (Khrustalnyi), Luhansk oblast, occupied since 2014. As local wrote on the eve, to the town have been arriving groups of former Russian criminal convicts, which signed contracts with PVCs - per 150-200 for a day. Looks like there was information, they have been deploying in this hotel. But this can be also disinformation in order HIMARSes hit empty target. Russians hit the school in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk oblast (though if this was guided missiles, there is only close impacts). Russian command cocidered large public buildings like potential facilities, which can be used by UKR military

The same was on UKR positions during ATO/OOS. This is just what on Soviet "politruks" language called "events of moral and psychological support (MPS)". Despite in UKR army "politruks" were substituted on "deputy comamnders of MPS" the methods and visions of moral support remained almost the same, like in Soviet army. Soldiers mostly without any interest were forced under threaten of rebukes and salary fines to be present on such concerts of voiceless village artists with formulaik patriotic songs, written by mediocre authors.

New strikes on Daryivka bridge... ... and at the bridge on the dam on Nova Kakhovka Local pro-Russian "authorities" hasitly try to repair damaged bridges. This is Nova Kakhova Also Russians are concentrating pontoon units - there was spotted moving of columns between Velyki Kopani and Radensk - total 22 pontoon and egineer vehicles. By some assesments Russsians prepare to establish pontoon crossing, heavy defended with AD, between Kozach Laheri and Nova Kakhovka. Local collaborant administration, feared by level of locals, involved in resistance. issued recently two decrees: the first says that any, who involved in "extremists" activity (unloyality to occupants, sharing of proclamations, discreditation of RuAF) will be evicted from own homes out of territory of Kherson oblast (likely to Russia). The second one says, any who will be cought during sabotage or espionage, can be executed through shot out at the crime scene. Russian Rodgvardia and local collaborant police have been conducting total checkings in several villages aroud bridges UKR General Staff claimed Russian S-300 battery was destroyed today near Zelenotropynske village, Kherson oblast. Thre are no photos yet, but FIRMS shows a fire in this place

And counter-battery work - 8 Russian Msta-B howitzers cought the fire in forests near Prydonetske village, 10 km SE from Izium

One shot - one kill. Dovhen'ke, Izium axis

Here another one with Polish subs. The work of forward observer with UAV and battery command center showed. Russian tank got direct hit. At the end officer lough: "We hit not that tank, which targeted, but that, which was closer!"

Even if I posted this, it was too long time ago ) I glad all ok with this guy and he continues to post own outstanding videos. I see he posted some videos about features of captured T-72B3 - translate it please here, if you have a time )

Yes, I posted some videos from this channel several months ago, thanks that you reminded, there are some new videos appeared

Ukrainian strikes for today: Lysychansk. Reportedly the building of local court, when LPR 6th cossack MRR seized as own bararcks was exploded. Unknown it was HIMARS or something other. This happened as far as 20th of July. The head of Luhansk oblast military administration Serhiy Haidai confirmed explosion and claimed about 50 casualties among LPR forces. There is no info about number of losses from oppose side, though they also confirmed the boom and losses. Horlivka - industrial facilities were hit, were DPR etablished vehicle repairing and maintenance base. Also ammunition dump Kyrylivka - the settlement on the shore of Azov sea, Zaporizhzhia oblast. Reportedly Russians moved here vehicles from own bases in Melitopol and Myrne, having a hope, that HIMARS didn't reach here, but... There is no information what happened - Tochka-U or diversion of resistance. Stakhanov (Kadiivka), Luhansk oblast. Next HIMARS impact. Partially destroyed local technical college, which Russians or LPR forces used as barracks.

UKR SPG-9 fire indirectly with OG-9 FRAG shells. It is noticeable that the loader of closest gun is novice and he is worried, probably this is his first combat work. He can't load the shell into the gun with proper speed, but platoon commander cheers him up and other guys. Indirect fire for SPG-9 maintains PDAs with "Kropyva" battlefield info syatem and special soft for targeting

UKR S-300PT battalion has been marking own victories - 6 UAVs (БПЛА) and 21 cruise missiles (КР). On 5th of July they shot down 6 cruise missiles. Looks like this battalion defends Dnipropetrovsk oblast - according to official report on 5th of July Russians launched 7 missiles on this oblast and 6 were shot down on approach to Dnipro and Synelnykove

@sburke @Kinophile Mayor Aleksey Kalmykov, deputy commander of spetrnaz detachment. Killed 11th of April in Mariupol

Huge missile strike this morning on Kirovohrad oblast. 8 Kalibrs and 5 Kh-22 were launched at airfield Kanatove and "Ukrainian Railroad" company power supply facility. There is no information how much missiles could reach targets, reportedly on airfield one serviceman was killed and nine wounded. Also two securities were killed on railroad facility. The part of Kropyvnytskyi city without elecricity now

Оh, this is just patriotic legend Bohdana, of course participated, but Russians fled from island not because of single howitzer )

Yeah, at least the same Kamyana Mohyla (Stone Grave) - the rock outcrop in Zaporizhzhia steppes near Melitopol with 4000 BC pertoglyphs or 5500 years "Ukrainian Stonehenge", found in 2021 near Dnipro in Novooleksandrivka village

Probably this for Dnieper flotilia. I've seen three boats some time ago on Dnieper, but too far, I can't recognize what exactly. Now we use some armed vessels - tugs, fire boats and even passenger boat. I think, they can be useful in future operations on the south - on Kakhovka water reservoir.

This is northern part of Donbas, but hystorically this is so-called Slobozhanshchyna or Slobidska Ukraina. "Classical" pre-industrial Donbas is steppes, sometimes cutted with gulches (ukr. "balka") and small rivers.

DefMon reads Konstantin Mashovets

My friend told me, how Russian missiles and aviation devastated the north of Zhytomyr oblast, though there was nothing intersesting except small screen forces. Why? Because on old maps there were marked many SAM positions, military facilities and ammunitin stores of USSR times. No matetr, all this was abandoned and removed two dozens years ago, so on the place of ammo strore now is cottadge district - Russians anyway launched missiles there.
