Heavy attacks of Russian Sukhoi-34 jets on Ukrainian targets Rashatudi: Russian Sukhoi-34 fighters destroyed Ukrainian targets with bombs that create huge blast waves. 🔹 The drone control center with 20 soldiers was targeted in Kharkiv region. 🔹 A road bridge on the way of Ukrainian supplies was destroyed in the "Third" area. @TasnimNews
📝**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)

📝**Liberation of Rai-Aleksandrovka**📝 On the **Slavyansk direction**, Russian forces are completing the clearing of **Rai-Aleksandrovka**, which was announced as captured today. The settlement was one of the key nodes of Ukrainian defense on the approaches to **Nikolayevka** and the **Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration**, and fighting for it lasted several months. 🔻**What changed in the sector?** ▪️After the [liberation of **Nikiforovka**](https://t.me/rybar/80750), units of the RF Armed Forces consistently developed their offensive along the enemy's defensive line and reached **Rai-Aleksandrovka** directly. In recent weeks, the main combat operations took place both in the settlement itself and on the adjacent heights, where Ukrainian formations equipped an extensive system of strongpoints. ▪️Control of the village makes it possible to improve the tactical position of Russian forces and create additional [threats to the Ukrainian grouping](https://t.me/rybar/81114) holding the **Nikolayevka — Raigorodok** line. At the same time, opportunities are expanding for fire impact on AFU logistics routes in this sector of the front. In the near future, the main efforts of the RF Armed Forces will likely be concentrated on expanding the zone of control west of **Rai-Aleksandrovka** and evening out the front line around the settlement. Only after suppressing the remaining Ukrainian strongpoints will it be possible to speak of creating conditions for further advance toward **Nikolayevka** and the northern approaches to **Slavyansk**. ❗️However, it is premature to speak of any "march on **Slavyansk**" at this point. In fact, this is not about a complete collapse of AFU defense in the direction, but about its gradual pushing back from one of the forward nodes. For further advance, Russian units will require clearing of adjacent forest belts, heights, and fortified areas covering the approaches to **Nikolayevka** and **Raigorodok**. 📌At the current stage, the liberation of **Rai-Aleksandrovka** should be viewed as an important tactical success, improving the position of Russian forces on the **Slavyansk direction**, but not as an event automatically opening the way to rapid offensive operations against the **Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration**. __If you have updates on the situation, you want us to highlight the successes of your unit — you can always write to us in the feedback bot ____@rybar_feedback_bot__ 📍[**High-resolution map**](https://i.ibb.co/fsBsPz0/08.jpg) 📍[**English version**](https://i.ibb.co/PGtm5QRM/08.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) | ✉️ [**Dzen**](https://dzen.ru/rybar) 💸[**Support us**](https://qr.nspk.ru/BS1A0068ID10D33B9IBAQRQ4M9T0NIFN?type=01&bank=100000000008&crc=36CB)

**📝****Counterattacks near Lyman****📝** On the **Lyman** **direction**, units of the "West" grouping of forces improved their tactical position on the approaches to **Lyman** itself, which made it possible for assault troops to operate across practically its entire territory. ➡️However, it is too early to speak of full control, since RF Armed Forces are conducting combat operations with small groups. And as we have repeatedly reported and shown in detail in [TAKTIKARE](https://t.me/rybar_tactical/11), occupying a city [in this manner](https://t.me/rybar_tactical/11) is a rather difficult and prolonged task. ➡️North of the city, Ukrainian formations undertook a series of counterattacks toward **Stavky**, as a result of which one of the RF Armed Forces' approaches to the city again came under the control of Ukrainian formations, which occupied **Zverokhozaystvo** and restored control over this part of the **Holy** **Mountains** park. ➡️This occurred simultaneously with the beginning of [attacks](https://t.me/rybar/81044) by Ukrainian formations in the north in the **Redkodub** area. The situation across the entire salient toward **Svyatogorsk** remains extremely tense, since the enemy is clearly attempting to cut off this "salient" in the **Shandrigolovo** area along the **Nitrius** river. ❗️In turn, RF Armed Forces are attempting to disrupt the logistics of Ukrainian formations through systematic strikes on crossings over the **Seversky** **Donets** river. Recently, statements first appeared in the network, and then footage of damage to the embankment at **Mayaki**, through which Ukrainian formations were supplying their grouping operating in the **Lyman** area. 📌As a result of [a FAB-3000 strike](https://t.me/Secrets_of_Vinakos/15572), the crossing was heavily damaged, however it is suitable for restoration, since such embankments are generally quite difficult to destroy even with high-precision and powerful munitions. The enemy attempted to fill in the resulting crater, but a [bulldozer](https://t.me/KrasnolimanskyFront/20119) was struck by an FPV-drone strike. This once again demonstrates that it is important not simply to strike various objects, but also to monitor the enemy's attempts to restore them. __If you have additions regarding the situation, you want us to highlight the successes of your unit — you can always write to us in the feedback bot ____@rybar_feedback_bot__ ****📍**[**High-resolution map**](https://i.ibb.co/svC6NXkP/07.jpg)** ****📍**[**English version**](https://i.ibb.co/Cs36mD0S/07.jpg) ** ****📍****Online maps available by subscription at ****map.rybar.ru** #digest #map #Lyman #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)
**📝Tankers on Fire📝** **__= damage to the so-called Ukraine's economy** **__ Defeating enemy military objects or production facilities is not the only method of combating Ukrainian air raids. One can strike more flexibly, pressing on the sector that sustains the military machine—that is, the economy. And it is substantially fed through the **Black Sea**. __Many may say: "But how, Europe is providing loans and financing to Ukrainian authorities!" But maritime trade and communication play__ __no less important a role in supplying the AFU.__ __ ❓Why? It is enough to look at shipping in the **Odesa region**: recently we wrote that there are supposedly strikes on ports, but tankers and dry cargo ships continue to operate and replenish the Ukrainian treasury __(over 300 port calls in Odesa region ports were recorded in May)__. 🖍The key problem is obvious: the attacks were sporadic, not systematic. That is, take the notorious "retaliatory strike" or a raid for the sake of reporting—that is when a conditional sunflower oil tank was struck. 🚩Striking grain terminals or other products to weaken the economy, of course, **can and should be done** __(especially since the AFU does it without hesitation)__, as this is one of the export revenue items. But at the same time, one cannot forget about oil depots, enemy military objects, and the fleet. 🏳️In the case of the latter, since late May one can already say that this issue has been taken up, with active and precise strikes against the "mosquito fleet" boats of the so-called Ukraine's Navy. The last strike by a cruise "Geran" was on June 16 against the **CB90** vessel of Swedish manufacture. ❗️The boats, though small, directly participate in ensuring the safety of shipping. As a rule, important cargo is escorted by landing craft. Striking one CB90 will not particularly change the situation, but through methodical combat against Ukrainian vessels, results can be achieved. __And there is no need to use cruise missiles or anti-ship complexes for this in 2026 with the appearance of modernized "Gerans." And there are plenty of other weapons: it is enough to recall ready-made unmanned surface vehicles that have already been tested in combat. One just needs to start.__ [**High-resolution map**](https://i.ibb.co/xq6QpLyF/18-06.jpg) [**English version**](https://i.ibb.co/Y7KBp1Ty/18-06.jpg) __ __#Odesa #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)
**📝****RF Economy Under Fire****📝**** **__on attacks in the Black Sea** **__ Beyond the AFU campaign unleashed against Russia's fuel and energy complex on Russian territory, Ukrainian formations are also implementing another one – against Russian trade and exports in the Black Sea waters. Yesterday, a tanker was attacked once again, one that is under EU and UK sanctions. This concerns the vessel FINA A under the flag of Equatorial Guinea, and the strike occurred in the area of **Novorossiysk**. **🔻****How many attacks have there been since the start of the year? ** ➡️The first such incidents began to be noted back in November, but it was precisely with the arrival of 2026 that a pattern and systematic nature began to emerge. Since January, at least **eight** confirmed attacks on over **15 vessels** have been recorded. ➡️The greatest number of strikes were carried out by unmanned aerial vehicles. They are faster, more maneuverable, and easier to direct at a tanker or cargo ship. The damage is not exactly large, but it creates problems. ➡️There were also several attacks by means of unmanned boats. The problem with them is that targets need to be selected selectively and the location of a particular vessel needs to be anticipated in advance, but the damage from a hit to, say, the engine room is greater. 🖍In the operation in the **Black Sea zone**, the adversary's key task is to block maritime trade. And for this they do not need to sink tankers or container ships – it is enough to regularly stress the region with constant strikes. 🚩Attacks in the Black and Azov Seas have already led to degradation of cargo flow and oil turnover. To a greater extent, vessels pass to the **Bosphorus** without any problems, but the permanent threat increases costs for trade. 🏳️That is, freight rates are rising, insurance payments are increasing, and fewer are willing to enter Russian ports. And if you add to this all the periodic UAV raids on oil depots, terminals, and oil pumping stations, then a very grim picture emerges. ❗️**The Collective West** through the hands of the AFU is implementing a strategy of coercion to peace through force, and showing weakness on such a matter will lead to even more attacks. And without adequate countermeasures this will not be stopped __(and the means exist)__.
