An Orion drone is operating near Zmiinyi Island. This "missile" could have been a Banderol Jet Drone launched by the Orion.

Whatever it was, it impacted Zmiiny Island.

3 Su-30s and a Su-24M2 continue to operate in the Black Sea. The Su-57 continues to fly west towards the city of Henichesk, Kherson Oblast.

Correction: 2 Su-57s are airborne. Unusual for a patrol, so they could conduct a launch maneuver of Kh-59/KABs over/near northern Crimea.

2 Su-34/35s are also operating near Crimea.

In total:
3 Su-30Ms
2 Su-57s
2 Su-34/35s
1 Su-24M2

This is the most Russian air activity I've seen in this area in a long time.

1 of the Su-57s is descending, a typical sign of an imminent launch maneuver.

It's currently over Crimea. The other Su-57 is flying further behind over the Sea of Azov.

The first Su-57 conducted a launch maneuver from over northern Crimea. We will find out it it's real or not shortly.

It made a U-turn away from the launch lines after conducting its launch maneuver and is now returning towards Rostov Oblast. A Su-35 is covering it.

The other Su-57 conducted a launch maneuver shortly after the 1st one. It wasn't too far behind when this occurred.

Both Su-57s are now flying east over the Sea of Azov, back towards Rostov Oblast and further to Akhtubinsk Airbase in Astrakhan Oblast, where they initially departed from. We should find out if these launches were real or simulated in the next 15 minutes.

The first Kh-59/69 cruise missile has appeared, flying west/southwest towards Odesa Oblast.

2 in total, flying over southern Kherson Oblast towards Ochaiv, Mykolaiv Oblast.

Both Kh-59/69s changed course towards Chornomorsk, Odesa Oblast, flying over the Tendrivska Spit.

They disappeared southeast of Ochakiv, Mykolaiv Oblast. As usual, there is a slight delay on information, so its possible they flew northwest towards the Dniprovska Gulf.

They both impacted Ochakiv. Explosions were heard in the city.

You know what would be really funny? Covering my super old content on the war in Ukraine (from before I started posting on twitter & telegram). I had some really dumb takes back then, and much less knowledge on military affairs, but I haven't viewed any of these videos since basically their creation.

I could do a livestream or something, looking back on this era. Let me know what you think.

I'll see what I can do today. Its nearly 3am, so I cant really stream now, but I'll try to make something work then.

⚡🇺🇸🇮🇷 According to official US illustration, 7 B-2 were used in the attack (40% of the 18 strong fleet). Fordow and Natanz were probably attacked with 3 bombers each, droping 2 GBU-57 per bomber. The last B-2 was probably held in reserve.

The illustration also shows a fighter escort, according to Al-Jazeera, F-22 and F-35 were used in the attack. The first to do protect the bombers from hostile aircrafts, the second to suppress air defenses and record the strikes.

Finally, the US Navy launched Tomahawks cruise missiles against the Isfahan nuclear facility. The missiles were probably launched from a submarine.

The Ukrainian Ground Forces announced that a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile, launched from an OTRK complex in Crimea, targeted a Ukrainian training ground of one of their mechanised units in Mykolaiv Oblast today.

They stated that despite the implementation of safety measures upon receiving the air alert, 3 soldiers were killed and 11 others wounded. They did not comment on any material or structural losses.

A special commission has been opened at the ground forces command of the AFU to "investigate the circumstances of the incident in detail," while law enforcement agencies work at the scene.

This channel (one of the largest in Ukraine) has spoken out against commanders at least 4 times now, and each time has either deleted their post or "clarified" information regarding it a few hours later.

Its very clear that this is a similar situation to that of Deepstate's, where they are being contacted by Ukrainian authorities, and asked to alter information. This channel has a massive and very engaged audience, and is incredibly influential, possibly even more so than Deepstate. Its clear why this is happening.

I can just imagine someone high-up saying "Goddamnit Nikolaevsky, you're doing it again. We just talked about you telling the truth. Time to send our agents on their weekly trip to your house."
