Apparently Russia is also equipping new Chinese-manufactured optical cameras to Geran-4 jet-drones in order to further increase their accuracy. One such case was recorded in eastern Dnipropetrovsk Oblast a couple of days ago.

Due to Russian attacks, the entire city of Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast, is currently without power.

This has been happening more and more frequently recently, for both Slovyansk and Kramatorsk.

According to available information, over the last few months, Russia has accumulated a significant number of Kalibr and Iskander-K cruise missiles, which will likely be used in fairly large numbers as a part of upcoming combined missile and drone attacks on Ukraine.

Ukrainian reports suggest that Russia has at least 430 Kalibr cruise missiles and 130 Iskander-K cruise missiles available, which could replace other missiles that have been used in significant numbers recently, such as Kh-101s and Kh-59/69s.

Additionally, Russia has been accumulating large numbers of Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles for the last few months, and has at least 120 available for use. These will be used both as a part of large-scale attacks, and individual strikes on Ukrainian airbases (namely Starokostyantyniv, as well as possibly Ozerne).

As for Iskander-M ballistic missiles, due to exceptionally high usage over the last month, Russia has depleted their available stockpiles quite a lot. However, due to a very high production rate of 60-75 missiles per month, they still retain the ability to carry out repeated and fairly frequent attacks, despite the necessity to reserve a number of missiles for opportunistic and targeted strikes.

Additionally, the usage of modified S-400 ballistic missiles allows Russia to partially supplement these attacks, providing additional room for stockpiles to be replenished while still achieving similar levels of damage. However, it should be noted that these missiles are generally easier to shoot down by patriot systems and have a much lower accuracy compared to the Iskander-M.

Kn-23 ballistic missiles can also be used for this purpose, as Russia likely received new missiles from North Korea recently. While the accuracy of these missiles has been significantly upgraded, some of the older missiles remain in Russia's stockpiles, as evidenced by the recent strike on a residential area near Kryvyi Rih.

As for Zircons, while Russia has been outpacing their production rate by several times over, they still retain at least 170 of these missiles in their stockpiles due to extensive accumulation over the last three years. Therefore, it is likely that Russia does not intend to majorly decrease the usage of these missiles any time soon.

If I have time, tomorrow I will post a full situational analysis on the situation on the Dobropillya direction.

In short - it's extremely bad for Ukraine, and has sharply deteriorated. Some of the strongest positions on the entire frontline are falling very quickly in an extremely unusual manner.

The situation on the Dobropillya direction is likely even worse for Ukraine than what my map currently shows.

But I'm still clarifying certain details.

The IRGC claims to have shot down a U.S. MQ-9 "Reaper" drone operating over the Strait of Hormuz.

Iskander-M on Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast.

Disappeared near Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast.

The Iskander-M ballistic missile impacted near the town of Sribne, Chernihiv Oblast.

An explosion was heard from Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast, indicating it impacted just east of the city.

The Russian Ministry of Defence claims that it struck three more cargo ships in the western Black Sea using Geran-4 jet-drones overnight.

They also claimed to have struck a cargo ship at the Mykolaiv Port. Due to this port being shut since 2022, this was likely one of the ships which has been trapped there for the duration of the war.

The Russian MoD has not issued any statements regarding the Oniks supersonic cruise missile strikes on the city of Chornomorsk, Odesa Oblast, that occurred a little over an hour ago.

Today was the 23rd day of Russia's new massive strike campaign on Ukrainian port infrastructure.

Clearer footage showing the aftermath of Russia's KAB glide-bomb strikes on the bridge in Slovyansk reveals that one side of the bridge remains standing, and is still passable for lighter vehicles. Civilians can be seen moving to and from the eastern suburbs using the bridge.

Because Ukraine almost exclusively uses ordinary cars for logistics nowadays, they will still be able to use the bridge for the time being. Although, Russia may repeatedly strike the bridge in the future. Additionally, a large section of the road's anti-drone net was destroyed in the strikes, providing an entrance for Russian FPV drones. The heavy damage to the bridge will make it impossible to repair the netting.

A Ukrainian drone shot down by Russian air defence crashed into a crowded beach near the city of Gelendzhik, Krasnodar Krai, killing at least 3 civilians and injuring 13 others.

The governor of Krasnodar Krai confirmed that this was caused by falling debris, rather than a direct strike.

Additional close-up footage of the mostly-destroyed bridge in eastern Slovyansk, Donetsk Oblast, which was struck by multiple Russian KAB glide-bombs last night.

Only one-third of the bridge remains standing and passable. A civilian vehicle driving across the bridge at the time of the strikes is seen lying in the river. The driver was not killed.

Another cargo ship has been struck by Russian Geran-4 jet-drone(s) off the coast of Odesa, in the western Black Sea.

A fire can be seen burning onboard.

Kostyantynivka direction, interesting tactical information.

Around a week ago, two Russian groups of 4+4 total entered eastern Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka seemingly from an eastern direction and were eliminated.
Using this information, I drew the most likely route that was taken by those Russians.
It is unknown if one of those Russians was the one that waved to a Russian drone at the entrance of Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka.

This infiltration currently remains a one-time event, but the Russians are now infiltrating frequently, almost up to Izhevka itself, and more infiltrations replicating this event can't be ruled out.

Ukrainian units in Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka should remain attentive, especially in the center and southern part of the settlement.

Advisor to the president of Ukraine Mykhailo Podolyak -

“Zelenskyy proposes a ceasefire in the air, an energy truce, a freeze of the war along the front line, and the start of difficult negotiations. He is also ready to meet with Putin”
