Daily Ukraine map thread for Monday 1st July 2024

Highlights: Storm Shadow attack on site south of Sevastopol

Russian Iskander strike on Myrhorod airfield again, striking Su-27s

Front remains relatively static. A quick check of Warspotting shows June's Russian vehicle losses remain at the roughly standard 100 tanks / 200 AFVs that we've come to take as 'normal' losses.

Myrhorod was a functioning military airfield unless they moved.

I have to wonder how they are getting FPV drones that far behind the lines. I assume repeater drones?

Good hit

The SBU detained provocateurs who were preparing riots in Kyiv after Constitution Day

The Security Service exposed a group of public "activists" who were preparing a series of provocations in Kyiv on June 30 this year.

According to the investigation, the group was headed by the co-founder of a public organization known for its anti-Ukrainian actions since 2015.

Under the guise of holding a so-called "party", the attackers planned to announce the "removal from power" of the current military and political leadership of Ukraine.

Then they hoped to seize the building of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and block its work.

In order to gather people, the organizers had to arrange a supposedly peaceful meeting in the center of the capital. But most of the participants of the event wanted to use the "dark" - without revealing to them the true intentions regarding the provocations.

The perpetrators planned to spread information about the "disturbances" in Kyiv through domestic and foreign information resources. In this way, they hoped to shake up the social and political situation within our country, which would work in favor of the Russian Federation.

In order to implement the criminal plan, the main organizer involved several accomplices - representatives of public organizations from Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions.

For the purpose of conspiracy, they communicated with each other in different messengers, and if they met, then in small groups of three people.

The security service early exposed the illegal intentions of the participants, documented their subversive activities and arrested the organizers.

During the searches of the residences of the provocateurs, the following were found:
◾ weapons and ammunition;
◾ mobile phones, computer equipment and draft records with evidence of criminal activities.

Currently, the investigators of the Security Service have informed the detainees about the suspicion of the article 1, 2, 3 Art. 109 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (actions and calls for action aimed at violent change or overthrow of the constitutional order or at the seizure of state power).

The detainee was taken into custody as a preventive measure. An investigation is ongoing to establish all the circumstances of the crime and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Perpetrators face up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.

Complex measures were carried out by SBU employees in Ivano-Frankivsk region under the procedural guidance of the regional prosecutor's office.

For reference, the M48 is not the most recent version, the M57 unitary warhead version is.

There were 176 produced between 2001 and 2004, when production ceased in favor of the M57. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, 16 were fired at Iraqi targets and a further 42 were fired during Operation Enduring Freedom.[45][46] The remaining ones are in the US Army and US Marine Corps' arsenal. Range

Russian serviceman and blogger Svyatoslav Golikov, referring to a video of Ukrainians about the mobiliation problems, states that Russia is not doing much better. However, the issue is not on the national scale yet. And he adds that it is actually Russia, which needs to carry out offensive actions to fulfill the so-called “special operation tasks” that were formulated by the so-called President Putin. And the problems with recruiting, which are already present in the occupiers' army, can only get worse.

On the other hand, of course, they can't do much at this point. Having suffered colossal losses, unable to carry out another extensive mobilisation, the occupiers have no choice but to buy troll farms in the West and influence the elections. This is their second front, and everyone can take part here, including the reader of this text.

"On 22 December 2023 and 5 February 2024, the Chamber was informed about the developments regarding the preparation and delivery of 24 Dutch F-16s to Ukraine. In addition to the previous information on the delivery of military goods to Ukraine from 13 June, on behalf of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, I also inform you that the first aircraft will be delivered soon.

We inform the Chamber that the necessary permit to export military equipment to Ukraine has been issued."

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

So one way around that is with the tungsten balls enhanced explosives systems, or smarter artillery like SMART and BONUS rounds, which we have been loading up on since then.

But it's OK to draft men and throw them into a meat grinder? Besides, if you get to know Eastern European women, you stop being sad.

Don't misunderstand.  Just saying it is just a sad situation all around.  Even for the guys to be in a meat grinder.  They can all just go home instead of being sheep heading to slaughter.

But DPICM doesn't care nor drones,  or ATACMS so it will continue until the Russians can't continue anymore.

Have been filming with Warner Brothers since last month so to be honest I’m out of the loop and only up to date prior to that. So my info may be wrong or changed since then but curious to see if it turns out to be true after all.

Pretty exhausted most of the time, popping on to check news whenever I get the chance.

Filming ends here this month and I’ll be back in Hollywood for a week or two.  Might have to go back to NYC for a day on personal business.

It is a force multiplier.  You get less, like with Stormshadow, but boy can you do damage in the Russian deep rear.

Again? Same ship was doing the same stuff last summer, and it goes farther back than that. From an article last year:
The alleged Chinese looting, which has reportedly become common over the past several years, sparked outrage and concern from both the British and their allies. In 2017, The Guardian reported more than 40 Australian, Dutch and Japanese warships had been destroyed by looting operations in the same waters off Indonesia and Singapore.

The location is far from China's waters, well within Malaysia's exclusive economic zone (but outside territorial waters). I agree with the response of 'sink the bastards.' Desecrating war graves in another nation's EEZ is a gross offense. Seizing the ship, contents, and crew doesn't go far enough.

Humanity has this dual positive and destructive often self destructive aspect that’s a shame. There’s more than enough problems in life for mankind to contend with and I don’t mean climate change nonsense but e everything from cancer to earthquakes but throughout the ages we cling to violence as a panacea for fixing our problems - whether greed or envy or fear etc. violence is seen as the solution
