HIGH: Assess the impact and capabilities of the newly received SHARK aircraft with anti-drone EW complex. (COLLECTION REQUIREMENT: OSINT, HUMINT)

2. ENEMY ANALYSIS

2.1. Enemy Capabilities, Intentions, and Courses of Action:

Air/Missile Capabilities: RUF continues to pose a significant air and missile threat, demonstrated by new aviation weapon threats in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and attack UAV threats in Kharkiv Oblast. The claims of destroying UAF vehicles via aerial observation and targeting (Воин DV 221212Z JUN 25) indicate continued effective reconnaissance and strike capabilities.
Information Warfare Capabilities: RUF IO capabilities are extremely robust and adaptive, continuing to escalate the fabricated "Iran-Israel/US War" narrative. New elements include:
- Detailed satellite imagery (fabricated) of Fordow (ASTRA 221204Z JUN 25, TASS 221205Z JUN 25).
- Fabricated claims from Pentagon officials (Hegset, Kane) regarding US strikes, "Midnight Hammer" operation, destruction of Iran's nuclear program, and the use of B-2 bombers and bunker-buster bombs (РБК-Україна 221206Z JUN 25, 221211Z JUN 25, 221217Z JUN 25, 221218Z JUN 25, 221219Z JUN 25, 221228Z JUN 25, TASS 221209Z JUN 25, 221215Z JUN 25, 221216Z JUN 25, 221220Z JUN 25, Alex Parker Returns 221225Z JUN 25, ASTRA 221227Z JUN 25).
- Claims of Iran suppressing navigation in Strait of Hormuz and threatening to close it (Военкор Котенок 221206Z JUN 25, Два майора 221211Z JUN 25, WarGonzo 221213Z JUN 25).
- Attempts to draw other international actors, such as China, into condemning the fabricated US strikes (Alex Parker Returns 221212Z JUN 25, Операция Z 221214Z JUN 25).
- Linking the fabricated conflict to economic impacts, like rising oil prices (РБК-Україна 221216Z JUN 25).
- Continued use of domestic narratives emphasizing historical triumph and national unity (Putin's statements on history textbooks and Great Patriotic War (TASS 221221Z JUN 25, 221224Z JUN 25, 221226Z JUN 25).
Intentions: RUF intends to:
- Maintain Kinetic Pressure: Continue air/missile/UAV strikes across various oblasts and claim ground force successes, particularly through propaganda videos.
- Maximize Global Diversion: Intensify the fabricated Iran-Israel/US conflict to unprecedented levels, drawing in more actors and "evidence," to distract international attention and resources from Ukraine. The focus on US strikes on Iran and threats to the Strait of Hormuz aims to create maximum global instability.
- Legitimize Aggression: Use the fabricated conflict and historical narratives (WWII) to justify its own actions in Ukraine and prepare the domestic population for further military action.
- Demonstrate Anti-Corruption (Internal): The reporting of the Belgorod Vice-Governor's arrest on fraud charges (from previous ISR) could be used to project an image of internal clean-up.

2.2. Recent Tactical Changes or Adaptations:

RUF: Marked increase in the detail and scope of the fabricated "Iran-Israel/US War" narrative, including specific military operational names ("Midnight Hammer"), alleged munitions used (B-2 bombers, bunker busters), and fabricated diplomatic responses (China's condemnation). The focus on disrupting navigation in the Strait of Hormuz indicates a new, economically impactful layer to the fabricated conflict. Continued efforts to collect funds for military personnel (Дневник Десантника🇷🇺 221221Z JUN 25).
UAF: Successful counter-offensive resulting in the liberation of Andriyivka in Sumy Oblast. Acquisition of new anti-drone EW equipped aircraft (SHARK) demonstrates adaptive procurement for modern warfare. Active diplomatic engagement via high-level meetings. Imposition of new sanctions against collaborators, showing proactive internal measures.

2.3. Logistics and Sustainment Status:

RUF: Continued reliance on public fundraising for military equipment (Дневник Десантника🇷🇺 221221Z JUN 25) suggests ongoing, though perhaps localized, logistical requirements for frontline units.
UAF: Continued efforts for force generation through recruitment campaigns.

2.4. Command and Control Effectiveness:

RUF: Highly effective C2 for kinetic operations and exceptionally sophisticated and coordinated control over the information environment. The rapid and consistent propagation of complex fabricated narratives, including mock Pentagon briefings and detailed battle reports, indicates a centralized and adaptive IO structure.
UAF: Effective tactical C2 leading to local counter-offensive successes. Continued effective AD C2 for issuing timely alerts. Effective strategic communication and diplomatic engagement at the highest levels.

2.5. Intelligence Gaps/Collection Requirements:

CRITICAL: Assess the actual impact of RUF's claimed destruction of UAF assets as per Воин DV's video (221212Z JUN 25).
CRITICAL: Determine if the RUF claims of Iran suppressing navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and threatening its closure are having any real-world impact on shipping or international economic activity.
HIGH: Evaluate the capabilities and deployment of the newly acquired SHARK aircraft with anti-drone EW complex.

3. FRIENDLY FORCES

3.1. Ukrainian Force Posture and Readiness:

NONE.

4. INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT

4.1. Propaganda and Disinformation Campaigns:

Russian:
- CRITICAL ESCALATION: "Iran-Israel/US War" Fabrication continues at an extreme level, with new detailed elements:
  - Fabricated "Proof": Satellite images of alleged attack consequences on Fordow (ASTRA 221204Z JUN 25, TASS 221205Z JUN 25), including specific crater counts.
  - Fabricated US Statements: Extensive false quotes from "Pentagon chief Hegset" and "Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Kane" about US strikes, "Operation Midnight Hammer," destruction of Iran's nuclear program, use of B-2 bombers and bunker-buster bombs, US resolve, and "no regime change" (РБК-Україна 221206Z JUN 25, 221211Z JUN 25, 221217Z JUN 25, 221218Z JUN 25, 221219Z JUN 25, 221228Z JUN 25, TASS 221209Z JUN 25, 221215Z JUN 25, 221216Z JUN 25, 221220Z JUN 25, Alex Parker Returns 221225Z JUN 25, ASTRA 221227Z JUN 25).
  - Economic Disruption: Claims of Iran suppressing navigation in Strait of Hormuz and threatening to close it, and discussions of rising oil prices (Военкор Котенок 221206Z JUN 25, Два майора 221211Z JUN 25, WarGonzo 221213Z JUN 25, РБК-Україна 221216Z JUN 25).
  - International Reactions (Fabricated): False claims of China condemning US strikes (Alex Parker Returns 221212Z JUN 25, Операция Z 221214Z JUN 25).
  - Deceptive Nuance: РБК-Україна (221215Z JUN 25) propagating the claim that B-2 bombers were "bait" known only to few planners, indicates an attempt to make the narrative more complex and harder to disprove.
- Historical Revisionism/Justification: Putin's meeting with history textbook editors, discussing "truth" and the Great Patriotic War's foundation in "traditional values and faith in the Fatherland" (TASS 221221Z JUN 25, 221224Z JUN 25, 221226Z JUN 25), reinforces the narrative that the current conflict is a continuation of Russia's historical struggle against existential threats, aligning with the June 22, 1941, theme.
- Morale Boosting/Justification: Воин DV's video claiming destruction of UAF assets serves to boost morale and justify RUF actions.
Ukrainian:
- Counter-Offensive Success: Reports on the liberation of Andriyivka (STERNENKO 221221Z JUN 25) provide positive tactical updates.
- International Partnership: Video of Zelenskiy meeting Norwegian Defense Minister (Zelenskiy / Official 221212Z JUN 25, Запорізька обласна військова адміністрація 🇺🇦 221222Z JUN 25) highlights strong international support.
- Force Modernization: News of the SHARK aircraft acquisition (Оперативний ЗСУ 221224Z JUN 25) promotes military innovation and readiness.
- Internal Consolidation: Announcement of sanctions against collaborators (Запорізька обласна військова адміністрація 🇺🇦 221205Z JUN 25) aims to strengthen resolve and counter internal threats.
- Vulnerability to RUF IO: РБК-Україна continues to be a conduit for RUF's fabricated "Iran-Israel/US War" narrative, amplifying false claims and "expert" opinions without sufficient critical analysis, which is a significant concern.

4.2. Public Sentiment and Morale Factors:

Ukrainian: The liberation of Andriyivka will boost morale. Continued high-level international visits reinforce a sense of sustained support. New sanctions against collaborators aim to consolidate public support against internal threats. The acquisition of advanced anti-drone capabilities can alleviate some anxiety about UAV threats. However, persistent aviation threats (Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv) remain a source of concern.
Russian: Putin's public discourse on history and traditional values aims to rally patriotic sentiment and justify the war. Fundraising efforts (Дневник Десантника🇷🇺 221221Z JUN 25) attempt to engage the public in supporting the military. The extreme "Iran-Israel/US War" fabrication, if widely believed, could foster a sense of global crisis and justify RUF's actions domestically, while distracting from the war in Ukraine.

4.3. International Support and Diplomatic Developments:

Global Diversion Intensified: The RUF fabricated "Iran-Israel/US War" continues to be the dominant, manufactured global event, with increasing complexity and "evidence." The explicit claims of US strikes, involvement of B-2 bombers, bunker busters, and "Midnight Hammer" operation aim to force international actors to react to a non-existent crisis. Threats to the Strait of Hormuz directly target global commerce. The false claims of China's condemnation of US strikes attempt to fracture international alliances.
Ukrainian Diplomacy: The visit of the Norwegian Defense Minister signifies continued bilateral cooperation and support. Ukraine's proactive sanctions against collaborators highlight its commitment to territorial integrity and rule of law for the international community.

4.4. Intelligence Gaps/Collection Requirements:

NONE.

5. PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

5.1. Most Likely Enemy Courses of Action (MLCOA):

Sustained Kinetic Operations and Extreme IO: RUF will continue high-intensity air and missile threats across various Ukrainian oblasts, including further aviation weapon threats and attack UAVs (Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv). Ground operations will likely involve continued localized assaults and claimed successes (e.g., as per Воин DV's video). In the information environment, RUF will continue to escalate and refine the fabricated "Iran-Israel/US War," introducing new layers of "evidence," "official statements" (fabricated Pentagon briefings, Chinese condemnations), and strategic consequences (Strait of Hormuz closure, oil prices) to further divert global attention. Expect continued domestic propaganda leveraging WWII analogies and nationalistic themes to justify further actions. (HIGH CONFIDENCE).

5.2. Most Dangerous Enemy Courses of Action (MDCOA):

Major Offensive with Global Catalyst: RUF launches a major, multi-pronged ground offensive on one or more axes (e.g., Sumy, Kharkiv) under the direct cover of a staged, high-impact false-flag event linked to the fabricated "Iran-Israel/US War." This false flag could be an attack on Russian territory or a significant incident in Ukraine attributed to a "third party" (e.g., "Iranian retaliation," "US-sponsored terrorism") to justify a full-scale RUF escalation. The timing would likely align with the ongoing June 22nd historical narrative. (HIGH CONFIDENCE).

5.3. Timeline Estimates and Decision Points:

Immediate (Next 0-6 hours, starting from 221230Z JUN 25):
- RUF: Expect continued high volume of fabricated "Iran-Israel/US War" narratives including new "satellite images," "official statements," and "economic impacts." New aviation weapon threats (Dnipropetrovsk) and attack UAV threats (Kharkiv) indicate ongoing air activity. Expect continued domestic propaganda reinforcing WWII analogies and patriotic themes.
- UAF Decision Point: Maintain heightened AD readiness for all threatened oblasts. Immediately and aggressively counter RUF's latest fabrications regarding the "Iran-Israel/US War," specifically the detailed claims of US strikes, Pentagon briefings, and the Strait of Hormuz situation. Leverage the liberation of Andriyivka and the acquisition of the SHARK aircraft as counter-narratives to demonstrate Ukrainian strength and resilience. Continue high-level diplomatic engagements.
Short-term (Next 24-72 hours):
- RUF: Expect a potential increase in ground activity and claimed territorial gains on one or more axes, potentially under the cover of continued, highly complex, fabricated global events. The focus on Strait of Hormuz could indicate a new phase of economic warfare.
- UAF Decision Point: Prepare for and respond to potential shifts in RUF ground operations, particularly if they attempt to capitalize on the fabricated global crisis. Continue to rapidly integrate and deploy new counter-UAV capabilities. Intensify diplomatic efforts to ensure international focus remains on the war in Ukraine and to expose the dangerous nature of RUF's disinformation.
