📝**Successful Advance**📝 On the **Konstantinovka direction**, Russian forces continue to advance successfully through urban areas. Footage that has appeared online [of Russian flags being installed](https://t.me/lost_armour/9930) in various districts of the city confirms further advance of assault units and expansion of the RF Armed Forces' control zone. **🔻****Where has progress been made?** ➡️Based on incoming information, the main combat operations are gradually shifting toward the northern and northwestern quarters of **Konstantinovka**. At the same time, it is premature to speak of complete completion of the operation: in the southwestern part of the city, individual pockets of resistance and scattered AFU groups cut off from main forces may still remain. The character of current fighting is well demonstrated by reports from the scene. Even after losing a unified command and supply system, the enemy is capable of holding out in individual multi-story buildings, basements, and prepared strongpoints, which requires sequential clearing quarter by quarter. ➡️One of the key factors in Russian forces' success remains [the work of UAV operators](https://t.me/DKulko/1695). Over the past weeks, drone crews have systematically struck transport, temporary deployment points, and supply routes of the Ukrainian grouping. In fact, this amounts to isolation of the combat zone. AFU units increasingly find themselves unable to timely transfer reinforcements, evacuate the wounded, and deliver ammunition. This is what allows Russian assault groups to act significantly more confidently when occupying individual buildings and strongpoints. 🧨 In desperate attempts to contain the enemy advance, the opponent is deploying artillery directly into urban areas. Over just the past week, RF Armed Forces UAV operators have destroyed at least five AFU self-propelled guns. Under fire were SPGs [M109 Paladin](https://t.me/SouthernRepublic/33917), [AS-90](https://t.me/SouthernRepublic/33883), [Krab](https://t.me/SouthernRepublic/33900), and the Soviet ["Gvozdika"](https://t.me/SouthernRepublic/34005). Systematic destruction of enemy artillery systems across the entire sector from Konstantinovka to Kramatorsk continues. ❗️According to available data, Russian units already control a significant portion of urban areas, and Russian flags have been raised in the northeastern districts. At the same time, clearing of the city is still ongoing, and final completion of the operation will require elimination of remaining pockets of enemy resistance. __If you have updates on the situation, you want us to highlight the successes of your unit — you can always write to us via feedback bot ____@rybar_feedback_bot__ ** ****📍**[**High-resolution map**](https://i.ibb.co/PZ6r0T94/10.jpg)** ****📍**[**English version**](https://i.ibb.co/zVgSR51R/10.jpg) ** ****📍****Online maps available by subscription at ****map.rybar.ru** #digest #map #Russia #Slavyansk #Ukraine **✈**** **[**RU**](https://t.me/rybar)** | ****✈**** **[**EN**](https://t.me/rybar_in_english)** | ****✉**** **[**MAX**](https://max.ru/Rybar) ✉️ [**VK**](https://vk.com/rybar_force) | ✉️ [**RuTube**](https://rutube.ru/u/rybar/) | ✉️ [**OK**](https://ok.ru/group/70000041986659) | ✉️ [**Zen**](https://dzen.ru/rybar) 💸[**Support us**](https://qr.nspk.ru/BS1A0068ID10D33B9IBAQRQ4M9T0NIFN?type=01&bank=100000000008&crc=36CB)

Here's the explanation for [Kyiv's aspirations](https://t.me/dva_majors/94793) and its Western masters toward Belarus: 📰**Reuters citing sources in the industry:** Gasoline production in Russia by the end of the second decade of June declined 25% compared to June of last year due to the shutdown of a number of major refineries following drone attacks. After the shutdown of the Moscow Refinery and "TANECO," output is estimated at approximately 85 thousand tons per day against summer consumption of at least 110 thousand tons. The deficit is partially covered by supplies from **Belarus**, oil company reserves, and maritime fuel imports.

**📝How drones flew to Moscow?📝** **__UAV attack tactics on June 18__ Following the massive AFU strike on Leningrad Oblast, we analyzed in detail how the AFU conducted their attack, starting from the [route](https://t.me/rybar/81021) and ending with [where](https://t.me/rybar/81020) they launched UAVs toward the Gulf of Finland and St. Petersburg. But what about the capital region during yesterday's events? 🔻**Attack tactics:** ▪️In the lead-up to the attack, the AFU launched groups of UAVs toward Moscow Oblast over the course of nearly a week via a route through Bryansk and Kursk oblasts. They were not massed, but rather periodic. ▪️This was done to, so to speak, carve out a flight corridor. The principle is extremely simple: you send mostly UAVs without warheads and force air defense to expend resources (and they are scarce). And after a week of such strikes, you execute a massed attack. ▪️The launch was conducted from the same areas as in the case of Leningrad Oblast. Only this time the UAV groups departed in stages along an identical route, but at the final section before the capital region they split into three directions. ▪️And the approach to Moscow was conducted simultaneously from the west, south, and southeast. Moreover, to place even greater strain on air defense assets, 4 Flamingo cruise missiles were launched, which entered from the Istra Reservoir but were shot down. 🖍From a lot of footage since the strike on the refinery, perhaps even someone not particularly versed in the realities of military conflicts could notice that UAVs were flying from different sides, which complicated the work of both fire groups and Pantsir SPAA crews. This in general terms can be called air defense overload. 🚩Another difference from the strike on **St. Petersburg** and **Kronstadt** is that the AFU deployed a larger number of different drones. At this point, at least **four types** have already been recorded: Lutyy and FP-1 are used constantly, while Morok and Bars are something new. 🏳️Both of these UAVs are limited to a combat radius of **800-900 km**, so their range allows them to reach Moscow. At the same time, Bars is a jet-powered drone, which in combination with standard UAVs increases strike potential __(such tactics are regularly used in Crimea)__. ❗️From all of this situation, one simple truth needs to be drawn: the AFU will increase their combat capabilities, and strikes will intensify quantitatively and qualitatively if measures are not taken here and now. As an example, saturation of "short-range air defense," adaptation of new developments in the form of interceptor drones. And one should not forget about the search for and preemptive destruction of production facilities. 📍[**High-resolution map**](https://i.ibb.co/zWHzLbZ3/19-06.jpg) 📍[**English version**](https://i.ibb.co/1tCJbSS2/19-06.jpg) __ __#UAV #Moscow #Russia #Ukraine **✈️** [**RU**](https://t.me/rybar) | **✈️** [**EN**](https://t.me/rybar_in_english) | **✉️** [**MAX**](https://max.ru/Rybar) ✉️ [**VK**](https://vk.com/rybar_force) | ✉️ [**RuTube**](https://rutube.ru/u/rybar/) | ✉️ [**OK**](https://ok.ru/group/70000041986659) | ✉️ [**Zen**](https://dzen.ru/rybar) **💸**[**Support us**](https://qr.nspk.ru/BS1A0068ID10D33B9IBAQRQ4M9T0NIFN?type=01&bank=100000000008&crc=36CB)
