Yesterday local authorities of Mordovia Republic made a statement two UAVs were intercepted over their region (it's between Moscow oblast and Volga river. Mordva is one of several finno-ugric nations on territory of Russia, which have several autonomous republics, but mostly they are completely assimilated, so kept own identity mostly in folk songs) As became knowingly UKR long-range drones attacked 590th separate radar node near Kovylkino village (680 km from Ukriane), having on armament 29B6 "Konteyner" over-the-horizon radar with range 3000 km. It's a single radar of such type in Russia. In Kovylkino is located the receiver of this radar and main control and signal processing equipment. Transmitter is located in 300 km in neighbour Nizhniy Novgorod oblast. ASTRA OSINT group reported one drone allegedly hit the buildiong of former comamnd center. No casualties and serious damages. 29B6 receiver site near Kovylkino: How it looks - just a part of 144 masts

It's became knowingly Russia used new missiles to hit Trypillia thermal power plant in Kyiv oblast two days ago. Recently it was considered were launched cruise misiiles Kh-101 type only, but now remains of Kh-69 were found. Kh-69 it's a deep modernization of "air-surface" Kh-59M missile, turned it into compact mid-range cruise missile similar to Storm Shadow. Kh-69 in first time was introduced in August 2022 and on Dubai Airshow in 2023. The missile has GLONASS/GPS guidance and DSMAC. GLONASS antennas unit "Kometa-M" is shielded in lower semi-sphere for better protection from EW systems. Kh-69 has a range 290-400 km and carries 310 kh warhead (so at least 100-120 kg HE). Most bad feature for our AD is extreme low altitude flight profile. The missile can fly on 25-70 m which makes it too hard target for timely spotting by radars. Kh-69 developed for perspective Russian fighter Su-57, but probably Su-30/34/35 also may carry this missile. It's known about three episodes of Kh-69 usage: Feb 7 2024, Feb 18 2024 (launch from Su-57, but missile hit the empty place in the field) and Apr 11 2024 (Trypillia thermal power plant was destroyed) Probable Kh-69 layout in Su-57 fighter

Russian VKS received two new Su-35S

In pre-war times Ukraine have been conducted works of S-125 modernization and in 2021 at least two AD battalions had these systems - S-125M1 and S-125-2D1. One of them in composition of Air Forces, other in Naval Forces. After the war began likely in summer 2022 Poland handed over unknown number of own S-125 "Newa SC"

Two GUR UH-60 Black Hawks were involved in landing in Kozinka, Belgorod oblast in March

In last days Russians activated on Staromayorske - Urozhaine section (Berdiansk directions). Mostly a war of small groups for forward positions. Here is Ukrianian troops of 58th mot.inf brigade turned back own previously lost position in 1 km south from Urozhaine M113 approaches to threnches, shells it and land assault squad. Assaulters eleiminte Russians with grenades and HE charges, then ran back to M113, which already brought fresh group, which will hold position

Elements of 59th mot.inf brigade, 109th and 111th TD brigades pushed Russians back from NW part of Pervomaiske village, taking back a school almost in the center of the village. Russian troops seized almost all it several days ago, advancing to Karlivla. This is southern flank of Avdiivka sector

Next Russian attempt to enter to Chasiv Yar from Ivanivske. Column is destroyed. Video of 225th separate assault battalion Su-25 over Chasiv Yar. Initially there was information this is Russian jets, but many told this is Ukrainian. Still unknown, so just "Su-25 over Chasiv Yar" Rare episode of Ukrainian aviation uses gliding bombs. Russian position in Ivanivske got GBU-39

But here and good news. After despearted interview of UKR Foreign Affairs minister about "Patriots", something moved in Eurpore

Russians today's morning conducted next strike on Ukrainian power infrastructure and natural gas storages complex near Stryi city in L'viv oblast (Kinzhals were launched there) As result of attacks Kharkiv again has a lack of electricity, several substations hit in Odesa, L'viv, Zaporizhzhia, Khasrkiv oblasts. Alas, thermal power plant in Trypillia, Kyiv oblast - destroyed. Statsistic of today's attack: 20 Kh-101 cruise missiles - 17 intercepted 6 Kinzhals - no interceptions (at least 4 on L'viv oblast) 12 S-300 - no interceptions (all on Kharkiv oblast and Kharkiv city) 4 Kh-59 - 2 intercepted (all on Zaporizhzia oblast) 40 Shakheds - 37 intrcepted Unkile 2022-2023 power infrastructure strike campaign, when Russians mostly attacked large substations and transformer sites on territories of power plants - direct strikes on generation objects where relatively rare, that now they concentrated on destroying exactly of generation capabilities and alas have success in this. Mainly using S-300, Kinzhals and Iskander-M missiles, which unreachable for our AD Result of Russian attack in Trypillia - burning thermal power plant, which mainly generated the energy for southern part of Kyiv oblast and part of Cherkasy amd Zhytomyr oblasts. Reportedly Kh-101 strike, but other sources say that were Shakheds. By the way this thing hit and set on fire the turbines. Meanwhile US officials: UKR strikes on Russian refineries may affect global energy situation. Ukraine should concentarte on military targets. Russian energy infrastructure is a civilain target... And wow - Republican senator asks her why UKR shouldn't strike on Russian infrastructure if Russia strikes on Ukrainian, but she continues own bla-bla-bla about "Ukraine claimed own high democracy standards and we concerning about strike on civilian infrastructure" Not surprising Dr. Wallander was President & CEO of U.S. Russia Foundation which promotes US investments in Russia. Just some craziness from MAGA: Ukraine wages a war against Christianity

Russians gradually increase activity on Siversk direction For today pidors already in second time conduct assault actions toward Verkhniokamyans'ke. For now three tanks and BMP has destroyed so far. Arty of pidors doesn't shut up for the second day and + KABs. According to Kostiantyn Mashovets on this direction mainly involved 2nd Army Corps of LNR (123rd, 7th and 6th motor-rifle brigades), reinforced by Russian 106th VDV division.

"Magyar" shows three FPV-interceptions of Russian fixed-wing kamikadze drones. He shows ELINT operator screens - right display reflects intercepted video from Russian drone, the left screen - the video from UKR FPV-pilot glasses. "Magyar" says these Russian drones has a warhead just slightly weaker than in Lancets and these drones have more stable channel, so EW units spent more time to supress them. So, to fasten this process such improvised "Krynky drone air defense" was developed. At the end "Magyar" tells for one day his unit detected 9 such kamikadze drones - three were intrecepted by FPVs, three - by EW, three, alas, weren't supressed. Also in FPV interceptions already trained UAV units of 38th marines brigade and 126th TD brigade, operating on left bank of Dnipro. It's unknown how high this FPV interceptors can fly, but it can be useful novation, because on Donetsk and Kharkiv directions Russian recon Zala, SuperCam, Orlan drones hang in the air 24/7 by dozens - we havn't so much ground forces AD systems like Strela-10, Stormer or Tunguska to cover 100 % of space against small targets.

No, HUR issued a video with a short cadre of ignition inside the ship. It's claimed communication and contrtol system was damaged by fire. More likely diversion, even probably by the hands of crewman, bribed by HUR. Recently HUR made a statement, that they had own agent from BSF sailors, who set GPS tracker on "Moskva" cruiser and this as if helped to track Russian ship. Maybe just PsyOps to force Russian FSB to see HUR agent in any sailor %)

UKR FPVs are hunting for Russian infantrymen near abandoned Russian tank. After one soldier was hit other try to hide under the tank, but the drone reaches them even there. Finally other drone makes lucky shot and cooks off the tank. I suppose, families of these soldiers will not get any compensations or LADAs - no the body, no money.

"Magyar" claims his unit, using EW system, managed to supress and land Russian "Lancet"

HUR made a statement their agents blew up oil pipeline near Azov city in Rostov oblast on 6th of April. The pipe maintained pumping of the oil to terminals in Azov sea port.

Russian ideologist Dugin under heavy mushrooms.. Russian city is a mother of all cities. Jerusalem will be Russian or it will not exist at all. And his majesty Kitavras will rule there. That what it says secret Pigeon's Book. The Book of depth. Russian tsar is a tsar for all tsars. Kitavras is a mythical creature (derived from "centaur"), which appeared in Moscovian apocryphal tales of 14-15th century about Solomon king. Pigeon's Book known since 15th century, there is tough mix of early Christian apocryphical texts cosmologia, influenced by Moscovites folk mythes and some paganism elements. This book was revered in some Orthodox groups. The book claims that "White Tsar" (white not so in modern sense, but as "true, orthodox, Russian" as countray to "pagan, tatars, mongols tsars") is a tsar over tsars and "Holy Rus' " is a mother of all lands.

Military storages (not ammunition presumably) are burning in Ufa city, Bashkortostan Republic.

Karma is working. Because of ruining of the dam, Orsk city in Orengurg oblast (on the border with Kazakhstan) is flooded. Local refinery with 6,6 mln.tons year output is halted. The water is coming to Orenburg city. Local authorities thinhking about partial evacuation of citizens.

There are no active actions, just visits of small recon groups and shellings. Local population in border areas of both sides mostly abandoned own villages and towns. Russian Kozinka and some other villages got heavy damages. In Graivoron from 6500 of population remained 1500. So, border areas of Belgorod turned out almost in grey zone. Belgorod still under attacks almost each day. This is not Kahrkiv level, but humanitarian cituation in the city slightly is getting worse. People are leaving the city. This is not significant numbers, but i noticed already, Belgorod oblast is one of few prospering regions of Russian except Mosscow and St.Petersburg. Several days ago UKR UAVs hit one of largest chicken complex in Belgorod oblast. So undermining economical and social life in Belgorod oblast can in long term influence on some aspests of life in Russia. Also combat activity in border regions make more hard deploying of Russian troops, which can conduct some demonstartive actions toward Kharkiv to attract our troops from there. Russians havn't enough forces to capture the city.

The story with Tsar-EW-tank got a continue. After Russian attack was repelled, additional recon showed that this tank hadn't critical damages and can be moved to our positions as valuable source, because almost all Russian portable anti-drone EW assets were mounted which just were possible. It's turned out our FPV damaged only targeting system, then a tank tracks stuck in barbed wire with attached AT-mines, tank lost control, crashed into disabled BMP and stopped - the crew abandoned tank. During several nights two "Azov" tankers have been providing reparing works. They unlocked driver's hatch, because a gun was directly under it, then they changed a 70 kg battery, which brought from own positions - this work should be done by three men, but they did it together. Then they unraveled and cut the wire on the tracks and removed a mine under the tank. All this in the nights and not in calm situation - one night Russians tried to recapture tank, sending a group on the bikes (!!!), but it was eliminated. After all "Azov" tankers turned on engine and drove to own positions in Terny. But on the route the tank in the darkness fell into bomb crater, the driver hit head and lost consciousness. Fortunately he came to senses soon and could drive out the crater. Tank arrived to Terny, where the crew already awaited Serhiy "Flash" - admin of FB/TG channel about EW and communication systems. On the photo below he already researhes trophy equipmnent

Jet drone over Belgorod oblast. Russians claim this is British "Banshee-80"

UKR troops could push back Russians (11th air-assault brigade) from the forest on eastern outskirts of Chasiv Yar. Reportedly, Russians yesterday managed to seize several houses in the eastern part of the town, but were thrown back by counter-attack. Despite this Russians continue assault actions and increased number of airstrikes and artillery shellings of Chasiv Yar. Kostianntyn Mashovets believes, the same "Russian summer offensive" more likely will took place on Donbas, not on Kharkiv ot somewhere else. Russians long time have been claiming a coming on administrtative borders of Donbas as one of SMO goals. For success Russians need to capture Sloviansk and Kramatorsk agglomeration. In own turn for this they have to capture (or at least come to Kostiantynivka town) on the south and elimynate Siversk bulge on the north. Current Russian assaults on Chasiv Yar direction are obvious intentions to approach Kostiantynivka to take initial positions for Sloviansk offensive. On Siversk direction Russians also began more intese assaults not only in Bilohorivka area, but on more wide section of the front. Though, these assaults look more like probes.

Northern outskirt of Kharkiv. Crews of two UKR "Bureviy" MLRSs (UKR modernized BM-27 "Uragan" on "Tatra" chassis) made a stop to rest and buy a coffee on refueling station nearby. Russian drone spotted them and targeted with Isander-M both launchers and security car, standing too close each other. Again a carelessness cost valuavle equipment and, alas, maybe servicemen lives.
