During the Ukrainian UAV attack on Crimea today, a Russian Su-30SM fighter involved in air defence operations crashed after it was hit by friendly fire. Russian VKS-affiliated channel Fighterbomber confirmed the reports, stating that the crew survived and is safe.

Ukrainian drones from the "Lasar" drone group of the National Guard hit and destroyed the Russian BM-30 Smerch launcher that targeted Peresadivka, Mykolaiv Oblast last night.

A reconnaissance drone monitored the launches of Smerch rockets, before relaying the coordinates of its relocated position to drone crews who subsequently struck it.

Explosion in Sumy

Recently, the situation east of Kostyantynivka has become very mixed and complicated as Russian forces attempt to consolidate outside the city and begin entering the more built-up area.

As a result, I have decided to add a very large grey zone, where Russian and Ukrainian positions are mixed and layered, often operationally encircling each other. This map below shows areas where Russian and Ukrainian soldiers have been recorded, although this doesn't necessarily show consolidation. In the future, once the situation clears up and one side clearly regains the initiative, the map will be updated to show additional control zones. But for now, it will look something like this.

This has happened due to the large open areas here, with limited cover from treelines and individual, isolated buildings. Additionally, Ukraine's manpower shortages have forced them to resort to increased drone usage. Kostyantynivka provides practically endless hiding spots for drone operators, while Russia has Chasiv Yar and the surrounding forests and villages to use for this. Both Russian and Ukrainian soldiers are operating in small assault groups of usually 2-4 people, clearing each other out of their positions. A similar situation was observed (and still is to some extent) in the Dobropillya direction.

Meanwhile, extensive preparatory bombing and shelling continues on Kostyantynivka, primarily targeting its eastern districts, ahead of the Russian storming operation on the city.

In the Hulyaipole direction, Russian forces continued to advance over the last week, and have captured the rest of Poltavka.

After crossing the Yanchur River and securing a bridgehead on its western bank, Russian forces pushed further under heavy drone and artillery cover, expanding their zone of control to the northern outskirts of Poltavka. Other forces advanced south, linking up with the formations north of Malynivka.

Additionally, the Russians improved their positions north of Malynivka, capturing the rest of the forests there and beginning a push west of Poltavka. However, the arrival of Ukrainian reinforcements has slowed their advance, and counterattacks will likely begin in the near future.
