Ukrainian GUR mid-range drones struck a Russian S-400 surface-to-air missile launcher, and a 96L6 radar reportedly belonging to the complex, in Crimea.

From the video footage, it is unclear if the radar was directly hit, but at the very least it was heavily damaged. The S-400 launcher suffered a direct impact.

For as long as the Iran war remains at its current low-intensity, I will reduce my coverage of the situation in the Middle East to a minimum, in order to shift my focus mostly to Ukraine.

What that means is that most of my Middle East coverage will come in the form of summary-style posts either during or after any attacks. Any live coverage will involve more sporadic posts, rather than minute-by-minute updates.

The total numbers of posts I make in general (Middle East + Ukraine) won’t necessarily decrease, but you will see more posts on Ukraine than before. Because I’m the only one running this account, and because I have a job and other responsibilities outside of this, I unfortunately cannot report every single event that happens. And because I’m still demonetized by Twitter, I can’t really expand my coverage any further. I also think that this change will make it more convenient for the reader, so they don’t have to scroll through hundreds of posts to get an idea of what has happened.

Additionally, I hope to return to a more consistent schedule of releasing Ukraine map updates - hopefully on a weekly basis at a minimum. I plan to place more focus on this, because my more diversified coverage, along with how much more difficult it is to verify frontline changes and the extent of said changes nowadays, has resulted in much larger delays with updates. I try to counteract this with my more timely announcements on settlements changing hands, but I understand this isn’t really enough to get a clear idea. These delays have also created the illusion that I’m “ignoring” or delaying making updates against whichever side is making the most progress, which is not the case.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — The Pentagon changed how it reports U.S. casualties from the war with Iran, splitting the figures across two separate webpages and making the full toll harder to calculate, NYT reports.

➡️ The revised count lists 18 service members killed and 624 wounded since the war began on February 28. Of those wounded, 207 were injured since fighting escalated again on July 7—142 more than the Pentagon had previously reported.

➡️ Four recent deaths in Jordan and Iraq, which had temporarily disappeared from the main casualty page, were restored under a new category labeled “overseas operations casualties.”

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: According to an NBC News report, the U.S. is running so low on interceptors that the military is forced to pick and choose which targets get hit by Iranian ballistic missiles and drones

Over the weekend, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine warned President Trump that interceptor stockpiles in the Middle East are running dangerously low, which led him to order a temporary suspension of operations against Iran for the time being, per CNN.

Iran’s missile stockpile also astonished American strategists and military planners, who had falsely assumed that it would run out of launch capacity within a few weeks to months. Not only does Iran still have large amounts of missiles and drones, these projectiles are becoming increasingly lethal due to adaptation of targeting data and satellite feeds provided by allies.

The 1st Corps of the Ukrainian National Guard "Azov" repelled a massive Russian mechanised assault in the Dobropillya direction on July 22, near the village of Shakhove.

The attack involved a large column of at least 13 Russian tanks and armoured vehicles, BM-21 "Grad" MLRS, a Tornado-S MLRS, light equipment, motorbikes, as well as Gerbera and Lancet drones.

Ukrainian forces repelled the attack using artillery, MLRS, FPV drones, pre-placed anti-tank mines, and tactical aviation. They carried out an airstrike on a bridge in Novoekonomichne used by the Russians, and then destroyed pontoon bridges set up later. They struck the Tornado-S launcher with an FPV drone (as well as reportedly the Grad launcher too), shot down Russian Gerbera and Lancet drones, and targeted Russian infantry, tanks, armoured vehicles, and motorcycles with FPV drones.

Russian sources later confirmed that no advances were made as a result of this attack.
