Kyiv Independent reports:
“A document obtained by the Washington Post (WP) suggests Russia dropped glide bombs on its own territory nearly 40 times in one year, most likely due to malfunctioning guidance systems, the outlet reported on July 1.
Believed to have been compiled by Belgorod city emergency department, the document records 38 incidents in the year from April 2023 to April 2024. (plus more that did not detonate, or fell outside the city limits)
Experts believe the accidental bombings are caused by defective munitions. Ruslan Leviev, a military expert with the Conflict Intelligence Group, in comments quoted by WP, said: “A certain percentage of Russian bombs is defective.”
“We think these accidental releases are caused by the unreliability of these kits”
Kyiv independent reports (1 July):
“Explosions were heard in Balaklava, a settlement in the city of Sevastopol in occupied Crimea after an air raid alert went off on July 1, the Telegram channel Crimean Wind reported.
Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russian proxy leader in Sevastopol, claimed that air defenses were operating in the city.
Crimean Wind shared a photo reportedly taken by locals showing a tall column of smoke rising above Balaklava, presumably near the town’s thermal power plant.
Razvozhayev claimed that according to the preliminary data, four air targets were destroyed near Balaklava, “but the wreckage fell in the coastal zone.” Information on the scale of possible damages is being clarified, he added.
Explosions were also reported in the area of Cape Fiolent, independent media outlet Krym Realii reported.”
Ukrainian AF command needs to get their act together.

Myrhorod Air Base. Not the first time that Russian recon drones have been able to quietly observe before striking with an Iskander cluster missile. It appears that at least 1 Ukrainian Su-27 has been destroyed, while several others are also believed to have been damaged.

There is trouble in Sevastopol. Enemy missiles killed more than 20 military personnel
On the evening of Monday, July 1, as a result of a rocket attack were killed, according to preliminary data on Sevastopol, 26 military personnel. About 20 more were injured, 4 in serious condition.
Sources in the Ministry of Defense and among the military who are in Sevastopol told us about this. “At least 2 missiles broke through our air defense and hit, let’s say, a military gathering place in one of the city districts ( we know where, but, of course, we won’t write - ed. ). And this is a big problem. We have 26 dead. Up to 10 pieces of equipment were lost,” one of them said.
According to sources, we also lost one S-300 air defense system. The entire crew was killed.
“We have carried out several successful attacks on enemy targets in recent days. They will take revenge. We need to be very careful in the near future,” a source at the Ministry of Defense warned.
What should we say. Andrey Removich! We hoped that problems with air defense in Crimea and Sevastopol had begun to be resolved. Unfortunately, we were wrong. Once again we urge you to solve these problems. And immediately.

Crimea was subjected to another Ukrainian missile attack. The governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, reports the downing of four missiles, the fragments of which fell in the coastal zone and the Balaklava region.
Enemy channels once again publish footage of explosions and air defense operations.
Chechens having a good laugh on their way to the ice cream pallor in the after life.
“Germany recently arrested Russians who were scouting US military bases for sabotage attacks”
Looks like Russia will have more bases to worry about. Maybe not in St. Petersburg, but you can see it from there.
Kyiv Independent reports:
“Finland’s parliament on July 1 unanimously (unanimously!) approved a defense pact with the U.S., that gives Washington, among other things, access to 15 bases on the territory of one of NATO’s newest members.
Spurred by Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Finland entered NATO in April 2023, extending the NATO-Russian border by roughly 1,340 kilometers (830 miles).
The Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) was signed in December of last year but was still awaiting approval from Helsinki’s parliament.
As well as access to military bases, the DCA allows for the training and deployment of U.S. forces on Finnish soil, as well as the deployment of military hardware.
Finland insisted nuclear weapons would remain covered by domestic laws in the agreement, so the import and transit of them remains prohibited.
The U.S. has concluded similar DCA-style pacts with 11 other NATO countries, including Sweden, Norway and Denmark.”

The attack was carried out with cruise missiles of an unspecified type. Presumably 🇺🇦R-360 «Neptune»
The target of the strike was a convoy of Shahed-136/Geran-2 strike drones.
The estimated number of destroyed drones is 90 units

Disinformation or deep fakes along with memes of zalinsky dancing would be the response.

Russia is fine “look at the gdp numbers “, all is going according to plan, moving westward, Putin is a master strategist…

Apparently, the location was also used for fuel storage and ammo storage.

[ Russian Sudden Flank Attack Failed Miserably ]
—
Today [ July 01 ], there are a lot of updates from the Kharkiv direction.
Here, after suffering terrible losses while attempting to move forward in 2 initial vectors of advancements, Russian forces have suddenly opened a new vector of attack, west of their initial offensive through the international border near the villages of Udy and Zolochiv.
Reports emerged in the past days detailing a cross-border evening assault by a Russian sabotage group in the Zolochiv direction, northwest of Kharkiv. This operation, however, was identified as a reconnaissance mission, rather than the onset of a larger offensive.
The Ukrainian General Staff confirmed that border guards successfully repelled the Russian assault near Sotnyskyi Kozachok. Andriy Demchenko, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Border Guard, stated that the group crossed the border near the settlement and engaged in a small arms skirmish, before being neutralized.
A Russian military blogger suggested that Russian forces are testing Ukrainian defenses in the area, with the assault likely aimed at creating operational ambiguity along the international border.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that Russian forces are preparing for new offensive actions, concentrating a grouping of unspecified size near the border. Ukrainian military analysts have emphasized that these efforts should not be overlooked, due to the tactical significance of the targeted area.
The concentration of forces around the Russian settlement of Grayvoron creates uncertainty for Ukrainian armed forces, as it is situated almost equidistant from the major Ukrainian cities of Sumy and Kharkiv, approximately 100 km apart from each one.
Although the Russians currently lack sufficient troops and equipment to pose a substantial threat to either city, these maneuvers are likely part of a strategy to fix and draw Ukrainian forces along a broader front in northeast Ukraine.
One possible initial target for a new Russian offensive could be the village of Bohodukhiv. Capturing this village would allow the Russians to disrupt Ukrainian logistics by controlling the local roads P45 and P46, which connect the Sumy and Kharkiv regions.
This potential strategy was confirmed by the Institute for the Study of War, which observed satellite imagery indicating increased Russian activity at depots and warehouses in nearby settlements, over recent weeks. Consequently, Ukrainian forces have had to allocate manpower and resources across a wider section of the border to mitigate these threats.
Kharkiv’s Head of Military Administration, Oleh Synehubov, expressed concerns that Russian forces might intensify their operations in the Zolochiv direction, prompting Ukraine to closely monitor Russian movements in the area. Additionally, the Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate intercepted and published Russian communications that confirmed the possibility of such attempts.
These intercepted calls have provided valuable insights into Russian plans, reinforcing the urgency for Ukrainian forces to remain vigilant and prepared for a potential large-scale operation. The intelligence gathered, highlights the continuous need for strategic planning and readiness to adapt to evolving threats along the northeastern front.
In response, Ukrainian drone operator units were swiftly deployed to act on the already gathered surveillance information. They conducted a series of precision attacks aimed at disrupting Russian logistics and hindering the concentration of forces behind the international border.
The initial footage emerged from the Ukrainian 92nd Assault Brigade, which released several geolocated videos demonstrating their engagement with enemy targets. These targets included transport vehicles both stationary and in transit, enemy soldiers, and an observation post equipped with surveillance cameras used for monitoring Ukrainian activities near the border.
These attacks quickly became a daily occurrence, with various other drone units operating in the region sharing additional footage. This showcased their efforts in sabotaging Russian logistical operations, creating significant disruptions, and forcing the Russians to constantly adapt to the new threats.
The concerted efforts of these drone units have made it increasingly difficult for the Russians to maintain their supply lines and operational momentum in the area. It is worth noting that the recent surge in Russian activity towards Zolochiv and Udy is not their first attempt to sow chaos in this part of the Kharkiv region.
Approximately a month ago, the Russians initiated artillery strikes against Ukrainian positions near the village of Udy. However, these efforts were swiftly countered by Ukrainian forces. The counter battery crews of the 92nd Assault Brigade effectively targeted Russian positions around the village of Schetinovka, successfully suppressing the enemy fire and abruptly halting this initial Russian offensive.
Overall, the stalemate for Russian forces near Lyptsi and Vovchansk has prompted them to seek alternative methods to disrupt the Ukrainian defense. Despite their depleted forces in the region due to significant losses, the Russians are once again preparing for a potential offensive northwest of Kharkiv. They aim to stretch the Ukrainian army thin across a broader front.
The Ukrainian command, fully aware of these movements, is closely monitoring the situation and has already implemented measures to counter any such attempts from the outset. These proactive steps are intended to maintain control over key villages and roads in the area. The prompt denial of any opportunistic advancement in this region may have already discouraged the Russian command from complicating their situation even more.

Successful strike on the airfield in Mirgorod! The enemy has lost the Su-27!
Friends, we confirm the information about serious losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a result of our attack on the airfield in the Poltava region. There are two important remarks worth making here.
Firstly, four Su-27 fighters actually came under attack, but, alas, by this time the destruction of one aircraft had been confirmed. Another one was seriously injured, the condition of the remaining two is being determined.
Secondly, here it is worth praising our military for their implementation. The Mirgorod airfield is located at least 160 kilometers from the front line, and our drone was hovering over it during the strike and the military could clearly correct the strike. This, by the way, is what the enemy did over Crimea last year, and for which we specifically scolded our air defense officers.
3D models of the Su-27 were drawn on the airfield site, but it was the presence of a drone in the air that helped deliver such a precise strike. Enemy personnel losses are being clarified.
Overall a good blow to Mirgorod! Glory to Russia

Putin is asked to reward General Teplinsky for Krynki
Russian troops under the leadership of General Mikhail Teplinsky managed to almost completely push out enemy troops from the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region. In particular, the village of Krynki was completely liberated.
Sources in the General Staff note that the competent command of the Dnepr group helped liberate Krynki. “Mikhail Yuryevich deserved a state award. He became a Hero of Russia back in Chechnya. But Krynki is no less our victory. Alas, not everyone in the generals values Teplinsky equally. Many see him as a competitor ,” a source close to Teplinsky told us.
The interlocutors refused to specify how many of our servicemen died and were wounded in the battles for the left bank of the Dnieper. They note that the UAF bridgehead is almost completely broken, and this is already a victory.
Whether the General Staff will send documents for awarding Teplinsky is a question. However, it would be fair if Vladimir Putin noted the contribution of the military general. This will be the best answer to Mikhail Yuryevich’s enemies.

Missile strike on Sevastopol. What you need to know at the moment
We received a lot of questions about whether it was true that on Monday, during a missile attack on Sevastopol, the enemy hit a warehouse with Geraniums, and we lost a lot of drones.
And is it true that losses in ammunition incurred as a result of this strike could have a bad effect on the course of the air defense system? We didn’t want to write more on this topic, but we have to say three things.
First of all, don’t read the stuff. “Certain ammunition was lost; I won’t hide it, it was valuable. But everything is not as terrible as they write in telegram channels and as the enemy broadcasts,” said our source in the Ministry of Defense.
Secondly, there is bad news. The number of military personnel who died as a result of this strike increased to 29 people
Thirdly, unfortunately, we do not yet see any movements aimed at strengthening the air defense of Crimea and Sevastopol. Well, we will have to continue to seek this from the Ministry of Defense.
Here's another x.com blog post.
i hate to break it to you but.....
russians saying they took out a SU27....
the SU 27s have been sitting there for the last 30 years they are used for parts. non flyable...
so they used a 10 million dollar rocket to take out scrap metal

The ruzzians are slow learners.
Most likely highly trained, high value personnel.
Kudos to Ukraine target intel.
I wonder if the additional deaths were injured not receiving medical treatment.
FTA: Thirdly, unfortunately, we do not yet see any movements aimed at strengthening the air defense of Crimea and Sevastopol.
UKF have claimed the destruction of ruzzia's S-500.
Ruzzia has not denied the claim or offered any proof that the S-500 is still in operation.
“A.I. Begins Ushering In an Age of Killer Robots”
“In a field on the outskirts of Kyiv, the founders of Vyriy, a Ukrainian drone company, were recently at work on a weapon of the future.
To demonstrate it, Oleksii Babenko, 25, Vyriy’s chief executive, hopped on his motorcycle and rode down a dirt path. Behind him, a drone followed, as a colleague tracked the movements from a briefcase-size computer.
Until recently, a human would have piloted the quadcopter. No longer. Instead, after the drone locked onto its target — Mr. Babenko — it flew itself, guided by software that used the machine’s camera to track him.
The motorcycle’s growling engine was no match for the silent drone as it stalked Mr. Babenko. “Push, push more. Pedal to the medal, man,” his colleagues called out over a walkie-talkie as the drone swooped toward him. “You’re screwed, screwed!”
If the drone had been armed with explosives, and if his colleagues hadn’t disengaged the autonomous tracking, Mr. Babenko would have been a goner.”
