War Reports - 2024-07-01
Russian Telegram channel "Condottiero":
"NATO spy planes involved in the work of creating a stable bridge to guide missiles into our territory, as well as in spying on our air defense systems and missile launch positions, continue to work hard.
In addition, their work is aimed at identifying our air defense systems and fighter aircraft, in connection with the ongoing transfer and deployment of F-16 aircraft to the Romanian airfield of Constanta and Iasi.
NATO countries have multiplied their air wing in the Black Sea over the past month. Flying electronic warfare systems have been deployed to accompany simulated missile launches.
NATO AWACS are hidden under the commercial name of the flights. Note that NATO AWACS aircraft have the ability to change the registration number of the AWACS aircraft they use."

🔹In the West Bank, Israeli security forces carried out a traditional series of operations in several localities.
🔹In the Red Sea Region, #Yemen's Houthis attacked three ships, one of which was supposed to be heading to #Egypt but was actually headed to #Israel, with missiles and unmanned sea and air vehicles.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 29 June 2024⚡️
🔹Ukrainian Formations attacked the #Tver region with drones, and also tried to hit targets in #Crimea using missiles and UAVs. The raid was successfully repelled.
🔹Russian Troops, launched an attack from the Iskander missile defence system on an echelon with military equipment of Ukrainian formations in #Ukrainka at the Yantsevo Railway Station located in the temporarily occupied territory of the #Zaporozhye region.
🔹In the #Liman sector, Ukrainian formations are trying to counterattack from the direction of #Terny along the Krugloy Beam and Shiroky Ravine, while the RFAF are holding back the onslaught.
🔹In #Bakhmut direction, the RFAF are advancing at the Boriso-Glebsky Church in the Kanal Microdistrict on the eastern outskirts of #ChasovYar.
🟡In the far south, Russian troops have leveled the frontline in the #Shumy area, advancing to the outskirts of #Kirovo, and are also conducting an offensive near the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal west of #Druzhba.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🎬 The Svidomites in #Dzerzhinsk (#Toretsk) are hiding in the Trenches...⚡️
🔹... fearing arrivals from the Russian side leading the offensive, and are surprised to see a man digging in the garden a couple of meters from their hole.
🔹A simple Russian uncle from #Donbass put a pile of the device on the war and cultivates the garden, regardless of the roar of explosions, the whistle of bullets and shrapnel. Banderlogs are surprised.
🔹The horror, of course, is that the Svidomo has taken thousands and thousands of people hostage in the truest sense of the word.
📌 The extermination of the Slavs is underway, #Russia is trying to put a barrier to Sodom, which is creeping towards it from the west.

SITREP
⚡️ Situation on the Fronts by the End of 29 June 2024⚡️
🔴Variability of RFAF actions in the #Avdeyevka direction and counterattacks of the AFU near #Volchansk:
🔵In the #Seversk Sector (Map), after the capture of #Razdolovka, the RFAF have two options for further actions. To go either north or west. In comparison with the first option, which will allow the AFU to significantly gain time, moving to the west looks promising in terms of potential damage to the enemy.
🟡If the Russian Army launches an offensive along the #Khromovka - #Nikiforovka - #Kaleniki - #Ozernoye line, the Ukrainian group risks losing supplies to its units in #Seversk and surrounding areas.
🔵In the #Kharkov Front Section, the AFU continue to attempt a counterattack. The desire to inflict a significant blow on our troops forces the enemy to engage in hopeless battles in conditions of an acute shortage of resources and personnel.
📌 At the same time, the enemy’s tactics are logical here. it is the shortage of manpower and combat equipment that forces the Ukrainian command to formally retain the initiative on the frontline and thereby restrain the offensive potential of the RFAF.

An entire regiment in the Lyut brigade was destroyed
Alarming news is coming from the National Police brigade “Lyut” - the assault regiment “Tsunami” has completely renewed its composition in two weeks.
“Tsunami” as part of the brigade was in Volchansk, where, as we know, the militants of the Kiev regime are suffering heavy losses. The police assault brigade “Lyut” did not escape losses: as reported, the old composition of the “Tsunami” regiment was destroyed almost to a man. And now Facebook is replete with posts with “eternal memory”, “search for the missing” and petitions for the appropriation of a hero of Ukraine, and the dead Tsunami militants appear everywhere.
Now the deputy brigade commander, Vyacheslav Usinsky, has to meet with the relatives of the victims and tell them that “the defenders will forever remain in our hearts.” And the Tsunami brigade is still being replenished with poorly trained mobilized people who do not even know the basics of field medicine.
It cannot be otherwise - the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is constantly driving units to attack, and the TCC, meanwhile, provides a stable influx of “manpower”. The fate of “Tsunami” may soon befall the rest of the “Lyut” regiments: “Safari” and “Lugansk”.
@Slavyangrad
Ukrainians are ready to give up their last savings to escape mobilization
The Guardian came to these conclusions. Journalists found one of the young people hiding from TCC patrols in his apartment.
He is afraid to go outside, but was able to avoid mobilization thanks to a bribe.
Against the backdrop of an acute shortage of people in the Ukrainian army, by the fall of 2024, British journalists predict an even greater tightening of mobilization in Ukraine.

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Summary Overview for the Morning of 30 June 2024; pub. 08:43📍
🗓 The past week has been spent discussing the bloody AFU strike against civilians on a beach at #Sevastopol using an #US ATACMS cluster warhead missile. After the incident, a decision was finally made to install shelters for civilians and update the public alert system. Attempts to simultaneously hold the tourist season and ensure the safety of people in the frontline region, although conditioned by differently directives of the federal centre, initially looked like an extreme stage of schizophrenia. Yesterday morning, 4 civilians in #Sevastopol were injured in an enemy missile attack.
🔹Overall, the state and military administration system is still being adjusted to meet the realities. Much attention has been paid by the new team of the MoD to the rehabilitation of servicemen, and a decree (http://publication.pravo.gov.ru/document/0001202406280003?index=1) "On monthly compensation payments to certain categories of servicemen performing military service under contract" has been signed. But it has not yet been possible to achieve promptness in the issue of providing all types of allowances to the newly formed units that have already begun to carry out combat missions in the SMO zone, hence the emerging charges for "trifles" such as construction materials and uniforms. Stepashin said (https://t.me/dva_majors/46235) this week that our frontline soldiers are sometimes "beggars" (quote), half of their salaries are spent on uniforms and other things, and soldiers and officers go on holiday at their own expense. This statement from the margins of the St Petersburg forum once again pulled from the past the former lies of the media servants of the former MoD team that "everything is available at the front".
🔹On the front, the RFAF retain the initiative, imposing their will on the enemy, while the parity achieved due to the predominance of both sides in various means of defeat does not allow the Russian Army to make breakthroughs to operational depth. Nevertheless, on the #Kherson front, the RFAF are expanding their control zone on the islands. In the #Zaporozhye direction, offensive actions are intensified in several areas, finally taking away enemy forces from the #Rabotino section. The pressure on the enemy positions in the #SouthDonetsk direction and west of #Avdeyevka continues, the enemy forces are being crushed in #ChasovYar, the RFAF are advancing towards #Seversk from different directions, and battles are raging in the area of the #Torskoye ledge. New is the RFAF advance towards #Toretsk (#Dzerzhinsk), and some signs indicate plans to increase pressure on this front section.
🔹In the #Kharkov direction, RFAF "North" troop group units have pulled in AFU reserves from different parts of the front, and heavy fighting is taking place in #Volchansk. At the same time, there is no reason to talk about the effectiveness of the creation of a "buffer zone" for the defence of #Belgorod region. The AFU are fiercely hitting civilians, targeting civilian transport and trying to destroy the region's economy.
🔹In general, it is not the first time when the General Staff is unable to fulfil the tasks set from the top. Belousov's public assignment of a task to Gerasimov to take "operational response measures due to the activity of #US drones over the Black Sea", which directly help the AFU to strike #Crimea, was indicative.
⭐️ Thus, it has not yet been possible to radically reverse the situation in the LoC least in some areas. This is due to the changed technological mode of warfare, the need to fine-tune the military establishment and to save the lives of the RFAF personnel. It is now much more important to achieve wear and tear on the Kirv Regime's military machine, which is already happening
🟡The problematic issue in this regard remains the counter wear and tear of #Russia's forces, which Kiev is engaged in at the behest of the #West in the hope of reducing our country's potential before the upcoming war with #NATO, for which its countries openly prepare.
2 MAJORS
⚡️ Front #Report for the Morning of 30 June 2024⚡️
🔴On the #Zaporozhye Front, in the area of #Rabotino and northwest of #Verbovoye without special changes, positional battles continue. Long range weapons are active on both sides. (Fig. 1)
🔴On the #Donetsk Front, in the area of #Konstantinovka and #Paraskoviyevka, the RFAF appear to have completed preparations for further movement and launched an offensive. There are tactical successes.
🟡In #Krasnogorovka, there are also successes of the Russian troops. Slowly but surely the RFAF are knocking the AFU out of their positions, pushing the Ukrainians to the outskirts of the town. In the #Karlovka area without significant changes, fighting continues in the area of the reservoir and at the edge of the settlement. (Fig. 2)
🔴In #ChasovYar Direction, fighting continues in the eastern suburbs of #ChasovYar.
🟡In parallel, Russian troops continue attempting to develop an offensive on the flanks. The AFU are actively defending, but they are not able to hold their positions everywhere. There are further tactical successes of the RFAF. (Fig. 3)
🔴On the #Kharkov Front, heavy fighting continues in #Volchansk and in the area of #Glubokoye. Without any significant advancement, but the activity of fighting in the area continues to be extremely high. (Fig. 4)
