Ukraine saying may have destroyed Russia's last cruise missile carrier based out of Crimea

Ukraine's navy is trying to verify whether it destroyed the Tsiklon, a Russian missile carrier. If confirmed would mean Russia has no more missile carriers in Crimea, a naval spokesperson said. Details claimed strike & its exact casualties still emerging.

The good news is each Su-57 loss is hard to replenish; the bad news is that targeting factory 8,000 km away is too much of a challenge for now. After news on the first-ever combat loss of a russian Su-57 at Akhtubinsk airfield, the next logical question is whether it is possible to use the same drones to attack the place where this type of aircraft is produced. And a bonus question: what could be the logic behind Ukraine's attempt to destroy a Su-57, apart from fact that it is a valuable rare asset of the russian air force?

In fact, the 2nd one will be the easiest to answer. Defense Intelligence of Ukraine emphasized in its report about today's strike that russian Su-57s are, crucially, carriers of Kh-69 cruise missiles. The attack missiles of this type, for example, were used to destroy the Trypilska thermal power plant in April 2024, situated near Kyiv, Ukraine.

Kyiv hopes Russia can attend 2nd Ukraine peace summit. Chief of Staff of Ukrainian Presidential Office Andriy Yermak speaks during press conference in Kyiv, Ukraine on Jun 29, 2023.

GENEVA: Ahead of the first summit on peace in Ukraine, Kyiv said on Tuesday (Jun 11) it wanted Russia to attend a second summit, to receive an internationally agreed roadmap towards ending the conflict.


Moscow said it had no interest in joining this weekend's meeting and so was not invited by hosts Switzerland, while Ukraine wants to get some concrete outcomes from the meeting to take forward to the second summit.

Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's office, said the "bad experience" of previous negotiation formats involving Moscow, prior to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, meant that the end to the war needed to be built on a broad platform of support from the outset - and be rooted in international law.

"For the second summit, we will be working with all colleagues, with all countries who will be interested to be involved," Yermak told European media organisations, via video-link from Berlin.

Monday Mr Zelensky said Ukraine was continuing "counter-strike activities" in Kharkiv region. A ok to strike Russia came nearly 2 weeks after US & other Western nations gave go-ahead to hit targets inside Russia near Kharkiv. President Zelensky encouraging European nations to support invest and weapon to Ukraine. 

We will finish this war, in the interests of all of us, of all Europe. We will finish this war according to our conditions,” Ukraine 'just attack missile launch sites in Russia he said." You can understand why we are fighting so hard against Russia's attempts to divide us, to divide Ukraine. 

Why we are doing absolutely everything to prevent a wall between parts of our country," he said, in reference to the Berlin Wall. He warned of danger to European Union of pro-Russian rhetoric, days after far right parties, some of which are pro-Russian, made gains in EU elections.

US support for Ukraine adapt as conditions have changed, battlefields change, as Russia does has changed in terms of how ipursuing its aggression escalation, we’ve adapted adjusted too,” Blinken said on Wednesday on a visit to Moldova. “I am confident we will continue to do that.”  As key European leaders signaled they had shifted position. Speaking at conference alongside German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron outlined French weapons sent to Ukraine, including long-range missiles, were permitted to target bases inside Russia.

“Ukrainian soil is being attacked from bases in Russia,” Macron said during a visit to Schloss Meseberg in Brandenburg, Germany. “we explain to Ukrainians, we’re to have to protect basically everything we’re seeing around Kharkiv at the moment, if we tell them you are not allowed to hit the point from which the missiles are fired?”

Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR), in comments, news agency Ukrinform, said Russian navy commanders selected Sea of Azov for surface warship maneuvers b'cos open waters of Black Sea have long been lethal for fleet ops & Kremlin attempting to “hide” ships in waters out Kyiv’s reach. Kyiv’s intention is to strike wherever the BSF retreats, and hunt down the rest, he said.

[Tee tiong huat]

They are trying to hide big ships, so we are going after the smaller ones,“We are going to keep hunting.” June 6, Ukrainian USV penetrated into Pankse Lake, an almost totally-landlocked bay on northwestern shore of the Crimean Peninsula, rammed and destroyed a Russian naval tugboat.
Also special ops teams, an elite Ukrainian naval strike group, used MAGURA kamikaze sea drones run down, ram & sink two Russian KC-701 Tunets-class patrol cutters operating near Kerch Strait. 

The Russian warships’ mission had been, in part, to prevent or block Ukrainian USV attacks in the area and against targets further north. Russia’s most serious single naval loss of the war took place on April 14, 2022, a pair of Ukrainian anti-ship missiles sank the BSF flagship, cruiser Moskva. Ukraine has sunk roughly a third of BSF warships. To most military analysts, Ukraine scored another major naval victory in September 2023 with a series of missile and drone strikes targeting BSF main base at Sevastopol, attacks over a period of almost 3-weeks ended with one heavy assault ship sunk, one missile submarine destroyed, at least 1 heavy assault ship damaged. Russian navy most part abandoned Sevastopol in Oct – for the first time since 1941.

Russian spoken at that time said submarine, the Rostov-Na-Danu, was only moderately damaged and would quickly return to sea operations.

Continue from follower above....In act, hulk of submarine remained where it had been hit until June 9, 2024, when repair teams towed it to Sevastopol’s 13th Ship Repair Factory and covered it with tarps. The pro-Ukrainian Crimea partisan group, Krmsky Veter, spotted and published images of a pair of repair barges underneath the canvas.

In 2023 Russia declared all civilian cargo traffic in the Black Sea subject to BSF search and seizure, and all Ukrainian ports under full blockade. Ukraine and its Western allies responded by routing ship traffic along the Black Sea’s western shoreline, where BSF ships would either have to violate NATO nation territorial waters or come into range of land-based anti-ship missiles. The Kremlin later announced it was canceling the “blockade” to allow grain to reach world markets and prevent hunger.

Since President Joe Biden given permission to Ukraine to strike inside Russian territory with American munitions, Kyiv can only hit targets over the border close to Kharkiv to stop Russia advances around  city northeastern part of the country close to the Russian border, he has directed his team to ensure Ukraine is able to use US supplied-weapons for counterfire purposes in Kharkiv, so Ukraine can defence their back against Russian forces who came hitting them anytime  hitting them,” officials said.

This loosening restrictions marks a break from long-standing policy comes amid growing international pressure from close US allies. But it is limited to area around Kharkiv, Ukraine has not requested permission beyond that, official said, adding that they do not anticipate the US widening the area allowed.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed on decision had been made following a request from Ukraine. “Over few weeks ago, Ukraine came to us, asked for authorization weapons used provided to defend against this aggression” near Kharkiv, “including against Russian forces as they massing on Russian side of border,” Blinken said at a news conference in Prague. 

The top US diplomat said the request went to Biden, and he approved their use for that purpose. Blinken said US would continue to “adapt and adjust and where" they are moving forward.

Ukrainian troops must leave Ukraine's Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. He also added that Ukraine must recognize Russia's illegal annexation of the regions and abandon any ambition to join NATO. (Sama Sama, same as like Israel talking to the terror Hamas).

According to Putin, Ukraine also must recognize Russia's annexation of Crimea.

Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts are partially controlled by Russian troops. Russia claims to have annexed the whole territory of those regions despite not controlling two regional capitals - Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.

‘Shoot and Scoot’ – War in Ukraine Overturns Another Conventional Tenet of War. Threat from drones, loitering munitions & precision-guided weapons applies as much to artillery systems as it does with tanks & armored vehicles.

For decades conventional wisdom among military strategists has been artillery was the king of the battlefield. Only threatened by counter battery capability of enemy’s guns. If guns outnumbered or outranged those of opposition, you sited them correctly, and had a good strategy – then you would prevail.

Artillery of 20th century came in two main forms towed mostly tracked & armored self-propelled howitzers. The appearance of truck-mounted guns, France’s Caesar were seen as an interesting but inferior hybrid of the two, generally allowed guns to be redeployed faster than towed cousins, experts thought that they lacked the cross-country capability offered by tracks.

War in Ukraine has seen loitering munitions, precision-guided weapons, and most particularly drones, being the catalyst for a change in the balance of the artillery equation. Artillery is likely
probably will be indispensable weapon on battle field even more than ever, speed deployment, rapid firing moving on will be key to survivability – what the military calls: “shoot and scoot.”

An article in US military issues magazine Defense One says that Ukrainian experience, where wheeled guns have proved so effective, has impacted on US army plans for the future modernization of its artillery systems.

https://www.kyivpost.com/post/34300

Cites Gen. James Rainey, chief of the US Army Futures Command telling a Senate hearing in May“… there are some very good, wheeled howitzers that having great effect in a place like Europe,” in reference to what was happening in Ukraine. His views contrast to the US' previous preference for tracked self-propelled artillery. In 2021 during a competition to select mobile artillery support for its Stryker Brigades, it rejected the foreign wheeled offerings in favor of the M109 Paladin self-propelled howitzer.

If happening in Ukraine. His views contrast to the US' previous preference for tracked self-propelled artillery. In 2021 during a competition to select mobile artillery support for its Stryker Brigades, it rejected the foreign wheeled offerings in favor of the M109 Paladin self-propelled howitzer.

Rainey said that on the future battlefield, artillery systems must be constantly on the move to avoid being detected, identified and destroyed. He said that, in addition, the US was also examining ways of improving and extending the range of mortar systems to supplement that need.

Ukraine’s experience shown utility of wheeled howitzers, including Sweden’s FH77BW L52 Archer, France’s Caesar, Ukraine’s own 2S22 Bohdana, compete favorably with tracked guns in terms of firepower, rate of fire, precision & range.

Ukraine recently announced it has expanded its production of Bohdanas to 10 systems a month.
While wheeled guns may not be as mobile off-road as tracked artillery there are sufficient trails and roads in Ukraine (and Europe) that combined with all-wheel drive makes less of a disadvantage than once thought. 

Wheeled guns are generally much cheaper, easier to maintain, and modern armor technologies offer protection comparable with most tracked vehicles. In 2023 the unit cost of the French Caesar MkII was €3.2 million ($3.5 million), compared with Germany’s tracked Panzerhaubitze 2000s was €18.4 million ($20 million) apiece, to Defense News. It studies shown cost of operating & maintaining wheeled systems result in cost savings of roughly 30%.

A series of strikes by high-precision bombs on enemy positions at Vovchansk plant show it’s noteworthy that Ukrainian Air Force currently employs American JDAM/ER & SDB high-precision bombs, & also French AASM (Hammer) family.

Furthermore, Ukraine is in process of testing its own version of JDAM-ER long-range guided bomb.
Previously, Militarnyi reported according to Chief of Aviation Air Forces Command, Ukraine is preparing to conduct tests on its domestically developed analog to the JDAM-ER.

Currently, efforts are underway in Ukraine to develop high-precision kits for Soviet-era bombs. These kits not only enhance accuracy but also extend the range due to the inclusion of dual fins.

Russia Deploys Only Subs in Black Sea Under New Strategy: Ukraine Navy Says. Ukraine’s navy spokesperson says Russian surface warships “cannot afford to be in the waters” of the Black Sea and under a new commander Moscow only deploys submarines starting a few months ago.

Russia now deploys only submarines instead of surface warships in Black Sea as part of its new strategy under new commander. He said at present, Russia only has one missile carrier in the Black Sea capable of launching a total salvo of four Kalibr missiles. Instead, Moscow has a concentrated group of surface ships comprising three Buyan-M class cruise missile carriers and three large amphibious craft in the Sea of Azov.
