๐บ๐ฆโ๏ธ๐ท๐บ Enemy attack on Urozhayne at the junction of Zaporozhye and DPR
โช๏ธOn the Vremevsky ledge on August 6 at 5:00, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the settlement Urozhaynoye from the north and from the side of Staromayorsky, which they had previously captured, by forcing the river Wet Yaly.
Deputy Head of the National Guard for the DPR A. Khodakovsky:
โช๏ธ[06:48] Enemy attempts to advance on Urozhaynoye from the side of Staromayorsky. Intelligence observes several tanks and armored vehicles, accompanied by infantry in the amount of up to 2 platoons. Equipment for demining is involved. The enemy managed to force a small water barrier, but 1 tank was damaged by our kamikaze drone, stopped and sank in the river floodplain.
โช๏ธAfter the start of the attack, the enemy was met with fire by the artillery of the Vostok group and the Kaskad OBTF, destroying several pieces of equipment and partially dispersing the attackers. Approximately 1.5 hours later, the second wave of the offensive operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began, which was also reflected with losses for the enemy.
โช๏ธ[8:44] Khodakovsky : So far, the enemy has no success. The equipment is trying not to stop on the spot, 2 more armored vehicles were attacked by our drones ( "Lancet", FPV ) and were damaged. Attempts by the infantry to gain a foothold have also failed so far - our defense is operating in an organized manner, despite the jamming of communications. But the enemy persists, comes from different directions - apparently, he has serious intentions. Well, the fight will show.
โช๏ธ [13:32] Khodakovsky : Today the enemy was not lucky: the beginning was promising, they even crossed the river, but they could not solve the task. I know who and how holds the defense on Harvest - well done guys. The wind is strong and gusty today: let alone fly, artillery is difficult to correct. But, nevertheless, they worked, and even fell.
โช๏ธDuring the battles, the enemy lost up to 4 combat armored vehicles, 2 tanks and 1 tank drowned in the river.

โ๏ธLow-resolution satellite images of the Starokonstantinov airfield for August 6 have appeared.
Compared to the previous image, you can see that between August 3 and 6, when the last missile strike took place, two impact sites are clearly visible:
1. In a separate hangar of unknown purpose on the southwestern outskirts of the airbase;
2. In the center of the airfield next to the parking lot of one of the non-flying Su-24s in the old coloring, used as a donor of spare parts.
There were also two dark spots that looked like traces of a fire:
3. In the area of โโโโthe underground facility and the fuel located nearby in the southwest, where it has already flown before.
4. In a separate parking lot of non-flying copies of the MiG-29 ("firewood") in the old coloring in the south, also used for spare parts.
Thus, judging by the low-resolution images, we can reliably talk about two missile hits: in the hangar and next to the parking lot of a non-flying Su-24, as well as traces of a fire near an underground facility and a dump of non-flying MiG-29s.
The missile attack also destroyed an elevator and a hangar on its territory, located at a distance of more than a kilometer from the air base and not included in the satellite image.
Although there is a result, it is obviously incommensurable with the efforts expended and certainly did not lead to the incapacitation of the air base or the aviation based on it.

Ukrainianย resources write about this with annoyance.

The picture also shows the previously burnt Czech and Polish T-72EA and PT-91 Twardy tanks, and the Dutch YPR-765 armored personnel carrier. A video with them tentatively dated July 9 is attached.

Today, several Ukrainian and domestic channels published news, citing the German magazine Der Spiegel, regarding the possible transfer of German Taurus air-launched cruise missiles to Ukraine.
Taurus is essentially comparable to the Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG missiles that have already been provided to Ukraine. It shares similarities in terms of warhead, profile, and range, and can also be launched from modernized Su-24Ms.
However, it is important to note that the Der Spiegel article did not confirm the actual transfer of these missiles. Instead, it merely mentioned a proposal for such a transfer from one of the deputies of the ruling party. Moreover, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Defense Minister Boris Pistorius had previously stated that Germany would not supply Ukraine with these missiles, which means there are currently no ongoing talks about their transfer.
-Testing the reaction of their citizens by burning their taxes at a cost of $1 million per shot, Germany has already been shown to be hesitant in delivering many of the promised supplies. I doubt there will be any progress with this matter either. Using these supplies to attack Russian civilian areas would be a costly mistake if they are looking for a diplomatic exit in the future.
