🇺🇦**Zaporizhzhia City**, **Ukrainian media**: Russia attacks Zaporizhzhia with FAB munitions equipped with UMPK: under fire — the hydroelectric power station and "civilian infrastructure". [**Dva Majors**](https://t.me/dva_majors)**✨** [**Dva Majors on MAX**](https://max.ru/dva_majors)

📝**Noose Around Liman**📝 On the **Liman direction**, units of the 25th Army of the Western Military District continue to tighten a semicircle around **Liman**. With each passing day, [more footage](https://t.me/mod_russia/64733) appears confirming the presence of Russian assault groups in the city itself, as well as gradual expansion of the control zone on its southeastern outskirts. 🔻**Where have they managed to advance?** ▪️Russian forces [established the most confident control in the southeastern part](https://t.me/tass_agency/381411) **of Liman**, where assault troops have already raised several flags. Simultaneously, breakthroughs of individual groups into central and northwestern districts of the city are being recorded, however so far this is more a matter of penetration and small-force operations rather than full consolidation across the entire sector. With a high degree of probability, Ukrainian formations will attempt to slow the advance of the RF Armed Forces along the railway line and in the adjacent solid construction. This sector remains convenient for defense: an industrial zone, dense construction, and railway infrastructure allow the AFU to hold individual strongpoints even after losing part of the city. ▪️At the same time, it is premature to speak of complete and stable control over **Liman**. Final consolidation will require clearing wedges in the **Drobychevo — Stavky** sector, where the opponent still maintains a presence and is capable of at least complicating the actions of Russian assault troops with flanking and rear sorties. Effectively, this concerns two interconnected tasks: the assault on **Liman** itself and simultaneous alignment of the front configuration to the northwest of the city. Without suppressing Ukrainian pockets of resistance in the **Drobychevo and Stavky** area, there remains a risk of strikes against the communications of the advancing grouping and prolonging the clearing of the city limits. 🔻**What is happening to the north?** ▪️On the northern flank, in the area of **Sredny**, **Redkodub**, and **Novomykhailivka**, following recent AFU attempts to conduct counterattacks, the situation remains obscured by the "fog of war." Nevertheless, the absence of footage of further enemy advance allows one to assume that Ukrainian formations have at least so far failed to consolidate in the areas of former airborne landings. It is possible that the opponent's intent was not so much to develop their own offensive as to attempt to disrupt the pace of Russian operations under **Liman**, forcing the Western Military District command to divert forces to stabilize the northern sector. So far, however, no signs of serious changes to the front line in this sector are observed. ▪️Overall, the situation for Ukrainian formations on the **Liman direction** continues to gradually deteriorate. Russian units are not only expanding their presence in **Liman** itself, but are also consistently creating conditions for further encirclement of the city, while simultaneously pinning down the opponent on adjacent sectors. ❗️If current offensive rates are maintained, in the near term further consolidation can be expected already in the northwestern part of the city with subsequent clearing of the railway vicinity. At the same time, AFU positions on the northern flank continue to constrain the actions of Russian forces, without which it would still be premature to speak of complete capture of **Liman**. __If you have additions 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://ibb.co/mVTk3TY9) 📍[**English version**](https://ibb.co/DH7qdBgf) 📍**Online maps available by subscription at map.rybar.ru** #digest #map #Russia #Liman #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[…truncated])

🇺🇦**Head of Odesa OVA Kiper:** As a result of a strike on a gas station in Odesa region, a fuel tanker and an operator building were damaged, a fire broke out at the site. ✨Strikes on enemy gas stations are not uncommon. But the very fact that they are now striking not with "Molniya" but with "Geran" suggests that the RF Armed Forces have decided to take a more systematic approach to the issue. And rightly so. If the opponent wanted escalation in the direction of fuel problems, including for the civilian population, let them get hit in full. Russia has more capabilities to incinerate gas stations. While the AFU counts how many thousands of kilometers their drones fly, our weapons have been striking Ukraine through and through since the first days of the war. We hope for a systematic solution to this military issue. [**Dva Majora**](https://t.me/dva_majors)

📝**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)

**📝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)
