— 🇷🇺/🇮🇷 NEW: Four reinforced Su-35 shelters have been constructed in Hamadan Airbase of the IRIAF, with four more protected hangars still under construction

Additionally, there is news about the preparation of residences for the Russian advisors that are scheduled to come to Iran in order to train and manage technical personnel.

The arrival of Iran's first Sukhoi-35 fighter jet squadron is close, and this squadron will be based in Shaheed Nojeh Airbase (Hamadan Airbase).

Iran’s ahead of Russia in this lol

Hezbollah has announced its 51st operation of the day, the highest number of daily operations carried out so far.

To put that in perspective, 3 days ago, they announced 22 operations.

Over the past 2 days, 3 Tu-95ms bombers were redeployed from Ukrainka airbase in Amur Oblast, to Engels-2 airbase in Saratov Oblast.

Lately, Russia has been accumulating more and more aircraft at Engels-2, which is interesting considering it used to be considered a base that was often used for temporary deployment and refueling.

I have a feeling that we may see a significant Russian missile strike from this airbase in the next week or two.

Western-made missiles were launched at Kursk.

Many launches of ATACMS missiles by Ukraine were reported. Lot’s of Russian air defence activity.

A lot of interceptions were reported.

Kursk

Ukrainian UAVs have struck the Kaluga oil depot.

The current situation in Chasiv Yar...

Rockets were launched from Lebanon in the direction of Nahariya, Northwestern Israel.

A Russian KAB struck Kharkiv. A large fire has broken out in the city centre.

Russia has withdrawn most of it's Kalibr-carriers from the waters of the Black Sea, leaving just one submarine of the "Varshavyanka" project. This gives us a total possible salvo of up to 4 Kalibr cruise missiles.

Geolocated footage indicates that Russian are continuing to collapse the eastern flank of Velyka Novosilka, and have reached the residential part of the town.

3 Russian vehicles, including at least one APC were able to advance west from positions in and around Shakhtarske, taking up new treeline positions as well as positions at a storage site on the eastern outskirts. After dismounting and taking the fortified Ukrainian positions, photos were published showing captured weapons.

One of the attack vectors of this advance was probably from Shakhtarske. This is because a paved road runs this way, allowing for easier mechanised assaults.

Additionally, there were advances to the north and south. In the south, the northern bank of the Kashlahach river was secured, and in the north, new positions were captured in the direction of the road leading into Velyka Novosilka.

As a result of these advances, most of the high ground has been secured, allowing for significantly better fire control over the town for the Russians and increased surveillance quality. This will facilitate future advances directly into Velyka Novosilka.

+ ~47.8km² in favour of Russia

In the past 2 weeks, Russia has captured a total of ~284km² in the south Donetsk direction alone.

Note: This doesn't include the northern flank of Kurakhove. Only territory east of Velyka Novosilka and south of the Kurakhove reservoir is included in this number.

The Velyka Novosilka cauldron:

Russian forces are just 1.5km from the last supply route on the eastern flank, and 3.2km km from the last supply route on the western flank. Once those two roads are cut, the town will be in an operational encirclement.

Fighterbomber - a source affiliated with the Russian air force - claimed that 7 out of 8 of the ATACMs missiles launched by Ukraine at an airfield in Kursk Oblast were shot down by Russian air defence.
