Archived operational intelligence briefing
DTG: 241220Z NOV 25 REPORTING PERIOD: 241130Z NOV 25 – 241220Z NOV 25 OPERATIONAL AXES: POKROVSK (CRITICAL CULMINATION) / HULIAIPOLE (DEFENSE STABILIZATION) OVERALL THREATCON: CAT-4 (OPERATIONAL DECISIVENESS: IMMEDIATE)
The enemy (RF) continues to capitalize on kinetic and cognitive synchronization. Confirmed visual evidence substantiates enemy maneuver element presence in the Pokrovsk urban periphery, placing the T-0515 GLOC under sustained, direct interdiction threat. Simultaneously, UAF operational depth targeting (Moscow, Syzran, Crimea) is confirmed, potentially creating a counter-pressure but not immediately alleviating the frontline crisis. The critical window for Plan 7-B MOD launch preparation is closing, demanding immediate commitment of force protection assets.
Clear, cold conditions favor RF ISR platforms and FPV drone proliferation along the T-0515 axis. UAF deep strike execution is unaffected.
The commitment of EW and security assets to the T-0515 corridor is the single most critical control measure pending implementation. Failure to commit protection assets NLT 241145Z (as previously recommended) increases the risk of massed interdiction during the 241330Z launch window.
CAPABILITY: Demonstrated continued ability to execute simultaneous conventional operations (Pokrovsk/Huliaipole), strategic fires (NLT 240000Z), and internal security (FSB counter-sabotage in Altai, 12:10Z). INTENTION (IMMEDIATE, 0-2 hours):
RF adaptation focuses on rapid, deep penetration into Pokrovsk urban terrain, bypassing conventional consolidation areas to seize key GLOCs immediately. This confirms a priority on speed over consolidation efficiency.
RF logistics remain strained by deep UAF targeting (Crimea BDA, 12:14Z) and domestic threats (Syzran). However, frontline forces maintain sufficient sustainment for the current tempo.
RF C2 remains highly integrated strategically, synchronizing kinetic attacks with IO maneuvers. Domestic security focus (Altai FSB, 12:10Z) confirms that RF C2 is managing multiple internal/external threats simultaneously.
POSTURE: UAF is defensively postured at the operational level (Pokrovsk/Huliaipole) but offensively active at the strategic depth level (UAV strikes). The critical vulnerability remains the T-0515 corridor clearance. READINESS: Frontline forces are under extreme pressure. Maintaining communication security and situational awareness is paramount to prevent kinetic confusion from amplifying the RF IO campaign.
SUCCESSES: Confirmed kinetic and casualty infliction on critical RF infrastructure and deep logistics (Syzran, Moscow, Crimea). UAF StratCom is maintaining the legal/accountability counter-narrative (PGO meeting, 12:10Z). SETBACKS (CRITICAL): Enemy forces are confirmed inside Pokrovsk suburbs, validating the intelligence forecast of GLOC severance risk.
CONSTRAINT: Time (T-minus 1 hour 10 minutes until Plan 7-B MOD Launch Decision Point). REQUIREMENT: Immediate deployment of mobile short-range EW (e.g., electronic warfare truck/vehicle systems) and dedicated QRF (Quick Reaction Force) to aggressively clear the T-0515 route.
RF IO continues to focus on:
UAF morale is stressed by the synchronization of bad news (frontline losses) and strategic confusion (peace talks). The NCA's immediate, confident denial and transition to operational action (Plan 7-B MOD launch) remains the only effective morale intervention.
International diplomatic support for war crimes accountability remains steady (PGO/Denmark meeting, 12:10Z). The key diplomatic vulnerability is the continued projection of confusion from US political circles regarding peace plans, feeding the RF deception strategy.
(HIGH CONFIDENCE)
(HIGH CONFIDENCE) The RF successfully utilizes FPV drones and precision artillery strikes to destroy multiple high-value vehicles (EW or C2) in the vanguard of the Plan 7-B MOD convoy during its high-risk launch phase (241330Z). The resulting GLOC block and cascade failure forces the operational reserve movement to abort. Simultaneously, the RF Vostok Grouping launches its mechanized assault on Huliaipole, achieving a rapid breakthrough before the planned NLT 240000Z ballistic strike.
| Timeframe | Event/Decision Point | Triggering Indicator | Status/Update |
|---|---|---|---|
| 241220Z | Counter-PO/Morale Initiative Launch. | RF official denial confirms IO deception. | Action: Confirmation that NCA has fully adopted the StratCom strategy (Recommendation 1) is CRITICAL to maintaining morale focus. |
| 241230Z | Commit EW/Security Clear on T-0515. | Confirmed RF presence in Pokrovsk suburbs (11:56Z). | CRITICAL: EW and security assets must be visibly moving NOW to secure the route. Delaying this past 241230Z incurs catastrophic risk to the main movement. |
| 241330Z | Plan 7-B MOD Launch Decision. | Confirmation that initial QRF/EW elements are actively engaging/suppressing threats on the T-0515 corridor. | CRITICAL: Launch remains NON-NEGOTIABLE. Must begin regardless of light interdiction. Accept HIGH tactical risk. |
| 241400Z | Southern Stabilization Fires CULMINATION. | BDA report S/SE of Zatyshshya. | Reassess Huliaipole defense stability. |
| Priority | Gap Description | Collection Requirement (CR) | Confidence (Analysis) |
|---|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL (1) | T-0515 Active Interdiction Zones. Real-time visual tracking of RF elements actively attempting to emplace mines or establish FPV relay stations within 5km of the T-0515 corridor. | UAS Recon (Dedicated Tasking): Continuous, low-altitude surveillance focusing specifically on the T-0515/M-30 intersection point and tree lines W/NW of Pokrovsk center. Target: 241230Z. | HIGH |
| CRITICAL (2) | RF Air Defense Posture (Forward): Identification of any immediate shift in RF short-range AD (e.g., TOR, PANTSIR) coverage for the Pokrovsk assault spearhead, following the domestic strikes (Moscow/Syzran). | ELINT/SIGINT: Monitoring of RF AD network activity density around Pokrovsk/Avdiivka sectors. Target: 241300Z. | HIGH |
| PRIORITY (3) | Huliaipole Defense Integrity. Real-time assessment of casualty rates and resupply status for UAF units maintaining the northern defense perimeter of Huliaipole. | HUMINT/LNO: Secured report confirming sustained command capability under fire. | MEDIUM |
The transition from strategic planning to tactical execution is now fully underway under fire. The focus must be on Force Protection and Speed for Plan 7-B MOD.
MANEUVER EXECUTION (J3): MAXIMIZE CORRIDOR PROTECTION.
FIRE SUPPORT (J-FIRE): EXPLOIT RF AD VULNERABILITY.
STRATCOM / C2 (J7 / NCA LNO): NO RETROGRADE IO.
