1.2. Weather and Environmental Factors Affecting Operations
1.3. Current Force Dispositions and Control Measures
2.1. Enemy Capabilities, Intentions, and Courses of Action
Reinforce Kharkiv Air Defense: Given the escalating Shahed attacks and high civilian casualties (now 82 injured), immediately allocate additional mobile air defense assets (e.g., Gepard, Avenger, MANPADS teams) to Kharkiv city and its immediate approaches. Prioritize night-time coverage.
Bolster Kupyansk and Zaporizhzhia Defenses: With RUF explicit intent to encircle Kupyansk and the confirmed "massive offensive" in Zaporizhzhia, reinforce UAF units holding key road networks and critical terrain in both areas. Prioritize anti-armor assets (ATGM, FPV drones) and engineer support for defensive fortification.
Counter TCC Targeting: Implement enhanced physical and electronic security measures for all Territorial Recruitment Centers (TCCs), particularly in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Poltava. This should include reinforced perimeters, increased surveillance (CCTV, drone patrols), and active EW countermeasures to disrupt incoming drones. Accelerate the implementation of plans for TCC dispersal and remote service provision to reduce their vulnerability and ensure continuity of mobilization.
Strengthen Counter-Corruption in Military Supply: Expedite investigations into alleged corruption within the Ministry of Defense (e.g., unsuitable anti-tank missile launchers). Implement robust quality control checks for all incoming military supplies, especially from domestic contractors.
Capitalize on RUF Internal Instability: Prepare information operations campaigns highlighting the alleged high-level corruption, suspicious deaths, military misconduct (e.g., Kalmykia rape, alleged sexual assault at children's camp, Kemerovo Oblast sexual assault), and distressing social issues within Russia. This can be used to sow doubt about RUF leadership, integrity, and the benefits of military service within Russia.
Assess and Integrate Unconventional Air Defense: Conduct a rapid feasibility study and, if viable, prioritize resources to integrate and train volunteer territorial community formations for light aircraft-based Shahed interception.
Develop Counter-Tactics for Lone Infantry Assaults: Analyze recent reports of RUF employing lone, lightly equipped infantry. Develop and disseminate immediate counter-tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) for frontline units to effectively neutralize these threats, identify their purpose, and prevent them from compromising defensive positions or intelligence gathering.
Counter RUF POW Exploitation: Develop and disseminate pre-capture training and messaging for UAF personnel to mitigate the effectiveness of RUF POW exploitation. Prepare counter-narratives and proactive messaging to discredit RUF-produced POW videos, highlighting their propaganda nature and potential for coercion.
Enhance Air Defense in Chernihiv/Northern Axis: Given the new RUF UAV activity from Sumy into Chernihiv Oblast, immediately assess existing air defense coverage in Chernihiv and its northern approaches. If gaps are identified, reallocate mobile air defense assets to mitigate potential threats.
Immediate Air Defense Response for Sumy City: The confirmed UAV threat to Sumy city necessitates immediate activation of local air defense assets and public alerting.
Urgent Diplomatic Engagement on US Aid: Given the reported "freeze" on US military aid, prioritize urgent diplomatic channels to confirm the status of aid and advocate for its immediate resumption.
