In Ukraine, a large-scale combined attack of Russian Geran UAVs and missiles on military targets continues from late evening until morning.
Video from Poltava and Lviv regions is just a drop in the ocean. The attack with precision weapons throughout Ukraine continues. Ukrainian monitoring resources report more than 400 Geran-2 and at least 40 different missiles. Kiev, Kharkov, Poltava, Kremenchuk, Western Ukraine - all were hit.
The oil refinery in Kremenchuk is being finished off to zero. By the way, this is a very important, one might say - a symbolic goal for our "reconciliation party", which is related not only to this "candle factory". A merciless time has come for the internal Russian scum as well.

Kiev is not evacuating residents of a number of districts of the Sumy region, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are located, said a commander of the Akhmat special forces scouts, Aid.
They may have done this in the news feed, but in fact their Armed Forces are among the civilian population in Sumy region. Artillery is deployed in residential areas.
✨ This is their tactic everywhere.

⚡️Two Majors #Weekly #Summary for 29 June 2025
▪️The past week has shown the cynicism of the leaders of the US, Israel, and Iran in the issue of another "holy war of annihilation", which pursued the goals of solving geopolitical and purely internal issues in the interests of the ruling elites of these countries. Everyone was warned (except the common people), the necessary generals were eliminated, the necessary number of missiles and antimissiles were used up, and the US military-Industrial Complex received new orders. Even the IAEA was stunned, as it had been repeating reports all week that Iran had no attempts to create a nuclear bomb.
▪️For us, this situation is notable for the fact that stocks of anti-aircraft missiles have been redirected from Kiev to Israel. Tonight, with a massive combined strike across the entire territory of Ukraine, has shown the usefulness of such a situation.
▪️Kiev is anxiously waiting for the completion of deliveries of the "Biden" military aid packages from the United States, August is called the month when the AFU will switch to less meaty European military rations, which will affect the situation at the front. Cunning European bureaucrats have managed to fulllfill Trump's demand to increase military spending on NATO to 5% of GDP by supplying weapons to Ukraine, and they plan to take the money from the proceeds from stolen Russian accounts. By the way, given the speed of destruction of NATO equipment in Ukraine (including in warehouses), there are enormous prospects for corruption. The money is "spent," the weapons are "delivered," but "destroyed." Nevertheless, this Western scheme is obviously beneficial to the Anglo-Saxon bigwigs, so Kiev will receive exactly as many weapons as necessary to continue the meat grinder.
▪️Due to the fact that the US considers China to be its strategic goal, it is becoming less willing to sponsor Ukraine. Therefore, next year, Washington will give Kiev no more than half of the amount for civilian expenses.
▪️The current situation seems to give hope for the depletion of the resources of the AFU and the disabling of the Ukrainian military, but such a strategy has not yet produced a clearly visible result. The enemy maintains combat stability and conducts a strategic defensive operation, also hoping to delay time.
▪️At the front, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing in the Sumy, Kupyansky, Krasnolimansky, Seversky, Konstantinovsky, Pokrovsky, and South Donetsk directions. But the enemy is conducting counter actions, not sparing Western armored vehicles and its own manpower. Combat operations are increasingly dependent on drones, but still the offensive, consolidation and retention, of course, can only be carried out by personnel, which always brings society back to the discussion about the sufficiency of people at the front, the rotation of the mobilized and the motivation of people to serve in an often rigid system that is extremely slow to adapt to modern realities.
▪️Information has reappeared about another attack by the AFU on our aviation with aircraft-type drones, which were standing without shelters. It is clear that if there had been the desire and will to shelter all our aircraft with hangars or even hide underground, it could have been done in the fourth year of the war.
▪️The development of the situation at the front directly depends on the volume and quality of supplies to advanced and strike units, targeted support for paratroopers, which are raising flags over the liberated villages. In the meantime, the situation is developing in such a way that the front cannot do without popular support, this was evident from the wave of legitimate indignation at another idiotic initiative to regulate military volunteers, allegedly in order to protect the population from fraudsters (and not redirect money to the "right" funds, of course).

In Iran, the military and political leaders who were "killed" by Israel began to slowly come to life.
First, the commander of the Al-Quds special forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Ismail Kaani (the successor of Soleimani, who was killed by Americans in 2020), whom Israel declared killed, appeared at the victory celebration over Israel in Tehran.
Then the chief adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, whom Israel declared killed, turned out to be alive. The media publishes photos of Ali Shamkhani in Tehran with a wand and surrounded by guards. Israel announced his death on June 14, it was reported that he "died of wounds."

📝Another F-16 Shot Down📝
How "Geraniums" Contribute to the Fight Against the Ukrainian Air Force
This morning, official enemy sources reported the loss of another F-16, shot down during the repulsion of a night combined strike by the Russian Armed Forces. The pilot, 32-year-old Lieutenant Colonel Maksym Ustymenko, was killed.
This is already the fourth reliably confirmed Ukrainian loss of fighters of this type since the start of their deliveries to the so-called Ukraine. Most likely, this aircraft was also shot down by Ukrainian air defense systems.
📌 This pattern is by no means accidental: it is largely a consequence of the new Russian tactic of massive use of "Geraniums", leading to maximum overload of the capabilities of the AFU.
🖍Due to the launch of over a hundred UAVs, the enemy, who is now experiencing a shortage of missiles for air defense systems, is forced to use almost all of its fighter aviation to intercept Russian drones - there are many aircraft in the air.
🚩As a result, in conditions where there are very many targets on the radar, and the level of control and organization is insufficient, episodes of "friendly fire" by Ukrainian "Patriots" and other systems occur.
❗️Competent planning of group raids by "Geraniums" leads not only to the successful destruction of targets in the rear of the AFU, but also to indirect results, such as "discharging" the enemy's air defense and overstressing the forces of the Ukrainian Air Force. And the new tactics of the Russian Armed Forces are definitely bearing fruit.
Against the backdrop of such effectiveness of the "Geraniums" in the fight against the Ukrainian aviation, one involuntarily wonders: is it possible to make a modification of an interceptor with an "air-to-air" missile based on them?

Pokrovskoe direction
Soldiers of the 255th motorized rifle regiment have replenished the fleet of vehicles. This time it's a trophy Bradley. Yes, that's it. One of those that "change the course of the war" and "open a window to NATO."
The combat vehicle was evacuated from the battlefield. The American armor didn't resist for long, but ours quickly found a use for it. Now this Bradley, after repair, will serve with our front-line soldiers.
The first adaptations are already underway: identification marks have been applied, systems are being checked, and yes, the crew will be new. The kind of guy who knows a lot about offensive stuff, not selfies.

More than 450 Russian Armed Forces drones and 40 missiles were fired at targets in Ukraine overnight
The Russian army carried out a combined attack with more than 40 missiles and 450 UAVs on targets in Ukraine. The industrial enterprises in Zaporozhye and Kremenchuk were hit hard (as seen in the footage). Infrastructure in Lviv, Mykolaiv, and Cherkasy was also targeted. The X-101/X-55 cruise missiles, Kalibr, Kinzhals, and Iskanders were used.
Even the Poles were tense — the country was raising its fighter jets and putting its air defense system on high alert.
During the massive attack, the Ukraine lost a pilot of the scarce F-16. The enemy reported the elimination of Lieutenant Colonel Maxim Ustimenko, writing that during attempts to shoot down Russian ammunition, his plane “received damage and began to lose altitude.”
It’s likely the F-16 he was piloting was also lost.

Hot pocket on the Seversky front coming right up! This one will have a nice filling of Tarases a Mykolas, ready to be broiled by the next TOS barrage.
Seversk is at a stone's throw away, and its capture will degrade the AFU's situation considerably.

🆘 What about the night strikes?
In addition to the obvious strong fire at the Kremenchug Oil Refinery in the post above (thanks to the local subscriber 🐱), we are currently recording the first target.
🟠During the night combined missile and drone strike, the Kulbakino airfield in Nikolaev was hit. No less than a dozen explosions thundered, locals write that the strongest fire broke out instantly, which is confirmed by NASA satellites. In addition to what is understandable from what is usually found at airfields, the Nikolaev Heat Repair Plant is also located there.

You may have seen this latest Gaza slaughter, but readers may not have:
"GAZA CITY—The Israeli military bombarded Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Monday with airstrikes and artillery, killing at least 80 since dawn.
In northern Gaza, at least four schools that shelter hundreds of families were bombed, in addition to homes and other civilian areas. In Deir al-Balah, the al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital complex was also struck.
One of the worst attacks came when Israeli warplanes bombed al-Baqa, a seafront cafe, reportedly killing more than 30. Perched on the water and popular for its internet access, the cafe was frequented by families as well as journalists. Among those killed was Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent Ismail Abu Hatab. Another journalist, Bayan Abu Sultan, was injured."
