Russian Missiles Wreak Havoc on Red Army City
In Red Army City, Russian reconnaissance and sabotage teams are advancing towards the city center and northern areas. More Russian reconnaissance and sabotage teams directly result in more real-time targets being discovered by Russian reconnaissance drones.
The Russian Aerospace Forces not only launch Iskander ballistic missiles to strike high-value targets, but also use the Geranium, Sky鹰, and Sirius long-range explosive drones for strikes.
They have started using large quantities of 3,000 kg FAB-3000 glide-guided bombs for strikes. In Red Army City, the Ukrainian 63rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade, which is reinforcing and replacing forces, was directly destroyed by FAB-3000 aerial bombs equipped with UMPK. Even the Leopard 2A4 tanks entering the city for a counterattack could not dislodge the Russian positions.
A reality is that Russia not only has significantly increased production of the Geranium, Sky鹰, and Sirius long-range explosive drones. Now, the production of FAB series precision-guided bombs has also seen a significant increase. A single large-yield glide-guided bomb explosion can completely destroy half a building.
Ukrainian mobilized soldiers are increasingly unable to withstand this destructive strike, and now the Ukrainian defense is becoming increasingly difficult. A single FAB-3000 glide-guided bomb contains at least 1 ton of high-explosive military explosives, causing the entire street to tremble.
Russian satellite network reported that the Russian military announced that they are bombing and striking in the direction of Pokrovsk (Red Army City), including foreign mercenaries of the Ukrainian army, such as Poles, blacks, and Colombians.
Ukrainian Army Chief General Syrskyi ordered that the current most severe situation is in Red Army City. The Ukrainian forces must strengthen the stability of their positions, set up more explosive and non-explosive obstacles, other defensive works construction, and deployment of anti-drone tunnels, etc.
It is necessary to accelerate the pace and coordinate the Rod defense system. Improve the efficient execution of defense tasks and solve various emergencies. General Syrskyi's final decision was still to continue holding onto Red Army City, holding back the 110,000 main forces of the Russian army.
If Red Army City is abandoned, then the 160,000 troops of the Russian Central Military District will start attacking other areas. If Red Army City cannot be defended, the Ukrainian forces elsewhere will also be unable to withstand the concentrated attacks of 160,000 Russian troops. The Ukrainian forces, which are spread out in defense, will be eaten one by one.
The U.S. think tank ISW said that the speed of the Russian encirclement of Red Army City is accelerating. Russian forces continue to "test" the weak points of the Ukrainian front lines, then launch attacks with two-soldier fire teams, and constantly change supply routes, trying to avoid Ukrainian drones and maintain the offensive operations.

Ukrainian Forces Establish Drone Kill Zone
On the outer front lines of Red Army City, the Ukrainian forces are establishing a 5 km drone kill barrier around Red Army City. Once the Russian forces enter this area, they will immediately be attacked by Ukrainian drones.
Since the Russians find it difficult to concentrate their main forces for a breakthrough, they can only resort to heavy artillery bombardment, concentrating infantry squads, and employing multi-route swarming tactics to gradually erode the Ukrainian positions.
The Russian approach is to increase the intensity of aerial bomb attacks. In April this year, the Russians launched 5,000 FAB glide-guided bombs into Ukraine. In 2004, the total number of guided aerial bombs launched by the Russians was 40,000, and this year the number will exceed 60,000 FAB glide-guided bombs.
Under the attack of Russian precision-guided bombs, the Russian offensive rhythm is extremely slow. It is mainly small-unit attacks, basically consisting of squad or platoon-level formations, with very few company-level attack formations. Each attack advances only tens of meters, then stops to slowly clear the surrounding positions.
If Russia can exhaust Ukraine's human resources before its own economic collapse, then no matter how many towns and fortresses Ukraine has, they will not be able to hold them.
Once the Ukrainian forces cannot provide enough troops to fill the frontline, those deep-coverage fortress positions of the Ukrainian forces will end up being penetrated by the Russians, regardless of the lack of sufficient manpower for defense.
Ukraine is almost an agricultural country, all of its weapons and equipment need to be imported. Plus, after the Cold War, Europe has already put away its weapons and horses, and the United States has long since deindustrialized, making it impossible to recover.
Meanwhile, Russia's industry has not been lost, and it has the full support of North Korea, Iran, and India. Mass production of weapons and ammunition, even improving equipment according to actual situations, producing large quantities of FAB glide-guided bombs, drone missiles, and other equipment. Moreover, Russia's vast territory means that it has almost all resources and is not afraid of sanctions, and its advantages are continuously increasing.
