Dozens of soldiers fled from a Russian military unit in Krasnodar. Were they escaping from the "Special Military Operation"?

There was real chaos last night at one of the military commandant's offices in Krasnodar — dozens of soldiers broke through the fence of the facility where they were being held and tried to escape. Notably, all of them are so-called "AWOLs" — soldiers who had previously deserted their unit. They were being held at the commandant's office for an earlier escape attempt.

Most of the repeat offenders have already been caught — several streets even had to be blocked off for this. According to preliminary information, three are still on the run.a>

Elon Musk’s SpaceX offers US missile defense subscription — Reuters

Elon Musk’s SpaceX, along with Palantir and Anduril, have emerged as frontrunners in the race to win the ambitious U.S. missile defense project called Golden Dome.

SpaceX has made an unconventional proposal to provide its part of the system in a subscription format. Under the proposal, the U.S. government would not own the technology, but would only pay for access to it. The sources said that such a model could speed up the project’s launch by bypassing the Pentagon’s traditional procurement procedures. However, it also raises concerns about the state’s control over the cost and development of the system in the future.

The project involves launching from 400 to more than 1,000 satellites for monitoring, as well as creating a separate fleet of 200 strike satellites with missiles or lasers to destroy missiles.

⚡️SSO behind enemy lines. Unpacking enemy propaganda.

Operators of one of the units of the Special Operations of Ukraine discovered and destroyed a Russian marine observation post in the Kursk region last autumn.

On one of the destroyed enemies, staged footage was found, which Russian propaganda presented as “the destruction of a column of the Defense Forces”. This recording was distributed by Russian propagandists to demoralize and ridicule the Defense Forces.

Although at that time these “actors” from the ranks of the Russian Marine Corps had already been destroyed by SSO operators. Here is body cam footage from our operators who raided the enemy of the Russian 40th marines.

❗️Odessa region under massive Russian attack: six missiles of different types were used, preliminary analysis

This video shows how the occupiers storm positions in Peschane for several days in a row.

News From The Frontline: Over the past week, the number of motorcycle assaults in all directions has increased sharply, now almost every assault is carried out mainly with the use of motorcycles.

They are trying to use this not chaotically, but more or less organizedly, so it is most likely that the entire summer of 2025 will be spent mainly in motorcycle assaults from the enemy, they are already actively accumulating transport from their volunteers, the national economy and China, they will accumulate armored vehicles, so that then every 1-2 weeks they can make throws of 10-20 units in narrow sections of 3-5 km.

I do not cause panic, because with competent defense, the effectiveness of such enemy actions is minimal or equal to zero.

They have already started to tighten certain logistical routes with nets in some directions and in some places, I will tell you, they did it quite qualitatively, but in other places they skimped, as a result of which, for example, there are holes between the ground and the net, into which drones with optics flew and…

There are only two questions at the moment: will there be mobile repair teams that will maintain the nets in proper condition and restore them?
This is quite an important point, because it costs the lives of soldiers.

And secondly, who will organize the installation of such barriers at all?
In theory, there should be engineering regiments at the corps, which should deal with this, given that the corps maintains defense at a depth of 20-30 km. But this is only in theory, because in fact no one is creating them from scratch now, besides, the corps brigades are still scattered in different directions and we still have hodgepodge + equipment with nets should be done in the future up to 40 km from the LBZ, because it will be practically impossible to do this banally at a distance of 10-20 km from zero due to the high activity of drones. The OSUV do not have all the appropriate means for that.

It has become more or less calm in the Sumy direction, our artillery is working quite closely, it is quite good at knocking out the rear and logistics. However, the guerrillas are trying to advance from the Zhuravka side in the direction of Bilovod, and are having some success.

The enemy involved two infantry fighting vehicles, buggies, and infantry in the assault and was about to break through to the positions of the fighters of the Third Assault Brigade in the Kharkiv region.

The first beha was eliminated as soon as the infantry landed, and while it was burning, they began to dismantle the enemy's manpower in the landing with dumps and artillery. They caught up with the second vehicle on drones and inflicted damage.

The buggies that had come to the aid of the Russians from another direction were recorded from the sky in time and successfully burned.

The Operational Command "South" shows how yesterday the Russians conducted massive assault operations involving 320 troops, 40 armored vehicles, 3 tanks, and about a dozen buggies.

The Russians attacked near the settlements of Pyatykhatky, Stepove, Lobkove, Mala Tokmachka, and Mali Shcherbaky.

The battle lasted for over two and a half hours.

Enemy losses: 29 units of military equipment destroyed, 140 personnel eliminated, and three tanks damaged.

The enemy achieved no success, and the Ukrainian Defense Forces did not lose a single position.

The enemy tried to break through in the area of ​​Pyatikhatki, Stepovoye, Lobkovye, Malaya Tokmachka and Malye Shcherbaky.

Among the losses of the Russian Federation - 29 units of equipment destroyed, 140 soldiers and 3 tanks.

News From The Frontline: To put 40 units of equipment and 2 companies of personnel (200) and not advance even a meter - this is about the podarivs in the Orikhiv direction yesterday)

Most of the equipment was destroyed before approaching the landing point, they received a capital attack, perhaps they counted on us relaxing, but in the direction there are experienced units that know the areas and every bush like the back of their hand, the enemy had no chance.

🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦The US Army supports Ukraine.

Recently, the brothers returned from exercises in NATO countries, in particular from the United States of America, and were frankly impressed by the position of the soldiers and officers of the US Army.

Trump as a politician is a complete degenerate, but the guys from the US Army are doing their best for us and this is not an isolated case, one sergeant even has a tattoo on his finger "PTN PNH"😁

In general, there is complete respect and support. Support is even in the fact that the guys have exchanged contacts with them and are in touch even now (on technical issues, etc.).

They are impressed by our actions, they were very interested in our tactics of conducting combat operations, service, logistics and many other specific aspects of our war. I remembered the phrase, during the departure to Ukraine, of one of the sergeants: "Good luck guys, and fuck Russia".

Some of their commanders said that they want us to have mission execution at the same level of support as the US Army in the future and personally they want us to have more American weapons of various types.

The guys even asked what you individually needed, bought new backpacks, multi-tools, various accessories. They gave the guys property: sleeping bags, gloves, tactical glasses, etc., they said take it with you, you need it more. They made a barbecue for the whole day😁😁

Trump, Trump, but the American people support us and we need to work at least with a Western audience, if some of their politicians are stupid - this is very important.

100 motorcycles in one assault on the Pokrovsky direction, actually this is the motocross season I wrote about yesterday, because everything new is well forgotten old, the enemy has returned to more organized tactics on motor vehicles.

Honestly, in the morning I simply did not believe it when the guys told me this figure…

In motorcycle assaults, they use either "national economy", which they get by all means and by deception on the territory of the Russian Federation and the occupied territories of Ukraine, and the lion's share is cheap Chinese motorcycles and mopeds, which are purchased for them by volunteer organizations from the Podar region.

In general, such motorcycles will be the most popular means of assault, because it is cheaper and faster to find a new Chinese motorcycle than the same loaf (which are already few at the storage bases) + that loaf needs to be recycled, but China is constantly stamping out cheaper junk, which is essentially disposable, so they don't care much, because no one even from the Podar region expects that the riders will return)

Episode from repelling yesterday's assault by the faggots in the Orikhiv direction:

“Yesterday, when we were repelling a large advance of faggots, one of our tanks f..ed direct fire on the faggot column, destroyed the faggot equipment, and got 3 faggot FPV drones, but the guys were lucky, they were able to return with concussions on a destroyed tank.”
