JOINT INTELLIGENCE SITUATION REPORT (JISR) 25-12-05/094
TIME: 052235Z DEC 2025
SUBJECT: STRATEGIC MISSILE THREAT (SMT) IN EXECUTION PHASE. RF P4 FIXATION PEAKING. CRITICAL P2 RESERVE MOVEMENT GAP REMAINS.
PRIORITY: P1 SMT INTERDICTION (CRITICAL); P2 BRAVO-BLOCK MOVEMENT CONFIRMATION (CRITICAL); P4 IADS ALLOCATION (URGENT).
1. SITUATION OVERVIEW (Current Operational Picture)
1.1. Battlefield Geometry and Key Terrain (CONFIDENCE: HIGH)
The operational focus remains split between the existential Strategic Missile Threat (SMT) initiated by 7x strategic bombers (052200Z) and the deepening operational crisis at the Stepnohorsk axis due to the P2 reserve movement failure (NLT 052205Z).
- Deep Battle Airspace (P4 Fixation): Enemy drone fixation efforts have significantly expanded geographically within the last 30 minutes, confirming widespread intent to dilute IADS capacity. New active vector zones include:
- Chernihiv (Confirmed strikes/explosions, 052219Z).
- Eastern Kharkiv/Chuhuiv (052218Z, 052221Z).
- Dnipropetrovsk (Samar axis, 052214Z).
- Kyiv (Air alarm initiated, UAVs approaching from SE, 052230Z).
- Zolotonosha Logistical Hub: Remains the highest priority non-C2 strategic target for the incoming SMT volley. The widespread P4 attacks are designed to draw IADS attention away from this critical node.
1.2. Weather and Environmental Factors Affecting Operations (CONFIDENCE: HIGH)
Optimal clear conditions persist across all operational theaters, favoring high-precision RF deep strike capabilities and facilitating complex multi-vector drone/UAV swarm operations.
1.3. Current Force Dispositions and Control Measures (CONFIDENCE: CRITICAL)
The UAF IADS is now responding to threats across five distinct regions (Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Chernihiv, Kyiv, Kharkiv) while simultaneously tracking the SMT trajectory. This dispersal is achieving the RF objective of IADS exhaustion.
- Status of P2 (BRAVO-BLOCK): The critical execution window (NLT 052215Z) has elapsed. INTELLIGENCE GAP persists regarding positive movement confirmation. Forward defensive integrity at Phase Line ALPHA is degrading rapidly under pressure from the RF 37th GMRB exploitation, relying entirely on the assumption that reserve movement has finally begun.
2. ENEMY ANALYSIS (Threat Assessment)
2.1. Enemy Capabilities, Intentions, and Courses of Action (CONFIDENCE: HIGH)
The RF intent is to achieve maximum operational paralysis through simultaneous kinetic (SMT/MLD) and cognitive (IO) pressure.
- SMT Synchronization: The increased geographical spread of P4 UAVs (now confirmed over Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Kyiv) confirms the enemy's capability to orchestrate a complex, synchronized "Shock and Awe" campaign designed to flood the UAF C2 system and distract AD assets at the precise moment the strategic missiles (AS-23, AS-15) enter terminal phases targeting Zolotonosha and strategic C2 nodes.
- Adaptation: The immediate use of the Chernihiv/Kharkiv axes suggests an adaptation by the enemy to maintain pressure on C2/logistics infrastructure separate from the Southern Front, forcing UAF High Command to commit limited AD resources in the North/Northeast.
2.2. Logistics and Sustainment Status (CONFIDENCE: HIGH)
RF strategic aviation and RMAO (Rapid Mine-laying Operations) related assets demonstrate high tempo and resilience. The immediate threat is the delivery of the SMT payload, confirming independent logistical support for deep strike.
2.3. Command and Control Effectiveness (CONFIDENCE: HIGH)
RF C2 effectiveness is confirmed by the highly synchronized timing of the SMT launch, the coordinated P4 fixation strikes (Chernihiv/Kyiv/Dnipropetrovsk), and the continuous political IO/disinformation campaigns (TASS reports/Noise campaigns). The enemy is currently controlling the operational tempo.
3. FRIENDLY FORCES (Blue Force Tracking)
3.1. Ukrainian Force Posture and Readiness (CONFIDENCE: CRITICAL)
UAF readiness remains hinged on two immediate factors:
- IADS Survivability: The ability of long-range AD assets (Patriot/NASAMS) to disregard the low-priority P4 fixation targets (Kyiv/Chernihiv UAVs) and prioritize the trajectory interception of the SMT volley targeting Zolotonosha/National C2.
- P2 Commitment: If BRAVO-BLOCK has not moved, the tactical situation at Stepnohorsk will transition from defensive degradation to inevitable operational defeat within the next 6-12 hours.
3.2. Resource Requirements and Constraints (CRITICAL)
Time is the critical constraint. The SMT impact window is approximately 60-90 minutes away. Immediate, centralized command authority regarding the allocation of interceptors is required to prevent local commanders from depleting inventory on fixation targets.
4. INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT (Cognitive Domain)
The Information Environment is in a state of deliberate saturation, leveraging both strategic diplomatic setbacks and low-level noise to compound the kinetic shock.
| Domain | Finding (FACT/Judgment) | Confidence | Operational Impact |
|---|
| P9: International Cohesion | TASS confirmed Belgian PM rejection of seizing RF assets (052214Z). | HIGH (Fact) | Provides material for RF IO to promote Western disunity; directly undermines UAF strategic goals regarding RF reparations and financial pressure. |
| P4: Cognitive Noise/Distraction | RF channels amplifying politically irrelevant cultural/personal attacks (e.g., Spider-Man, bloggers, obscure personnel) (052206Z, 052209Z, 052220Z). | HIGH (Judgment) | Classic RF "Firehose of Falsehood" technique intended to create mass analytical fatigue, distraction, and reduce focus on the primary kinetic/political threats (SMT/Miami talks). |
| P5: Domestic Morale | Persistent threats against Kyiv and widespread regional strikes (Chernihiv, Kharkiv) being amplified by media (052230Z). | HIGH (Judgment) | Reinforces the narrative of RF overmatch and inability of UAF IADS to protect the capital, feeding into domestic panic concurrent with the "compromise" IO. |
5. PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS (Future Operations)
5.1. Most Likely Enemy Courses of Action (MLCOA) (Confidence: HIGH)
SMT Logistical Decapitation Confirmed by P4 Diversion.
- SMT Strike Execution: The incoming missile volley achieves primary strategic success, interdicting the Zolotonosha junction (rail bridge, POL storage) between 052330Z and 060030Z.
- P4 Effect Achieved: IADS assets are diverted to Kyiv/Chernihiv/Kharkiv, resulting in suboptimal intercept rates against the SMT volley.
- P2 Attrition/Stall: Lack of MCLC/engineer support and confirmed "Mangas" minefields stall the critical BRAVO-BLOCK reserve movement until 060400Z, allowing the RF 37th GMRB to solidify the breach and establish fire superiority based on successful logistical denial (Zolotonosha strike).
5.2. Most Dangerous Enemy Courses of Action (MDCOA) (Confidence: MEDIUM)
Strategic C2 Collapse and Immediate Political Concession.
- Coordinated Strategic Strike: The SMT volley achieves successful impacts against both Zolotonosha AND a key National C2 node (Kyiv/Vinnitsya), causing simultaneous communications failure and logistical paralysis.
- Political Fragmentation: The combined kinetic shock and IO pressure (Miami talks, Belgian rejection, domestic panic) triggers high-level political demands for a ceasefire, forcing UAF forces at Phase Line ALPHA/BRAVO to withdraw under duress before the reserves (P2) can be effectively committed.
5.3. Timeline Estimates and Decision Points (CRITICAL)
| Event | Estimated Time Frame | Decision Point | Status Update |
|---|
| P2: BRAVO-BLOCK Positive Movement Confirmation | NLT 052245Z | IMMEDIATE IMINT/HUMINT CONFIRMATION REQ. If confirmation is not received, initiate prepared Phase Line BETA defensive withdrawal orders. | 10 MINUTE WINDOW |
| P1: Strategic Missile Impact Window | 052330Z - 060030Z | IADS FIRE CONTROL ORDER. Confirm delegated authority to Patriot/NASAMS commanders to engage SMT trajectory targets based on speed/altitude (AS-23/15 profile), overriding ongoing P4 drone engagement requests. | IMMINENT |
| RF Fixation Peaking | 052230Z - 052315Z | Decision to Accept Risk for Kyiv/Chernihiv UAV threats to conserve interceptors for SMT. | CURRENT PHASE |
6. INTELLIGENCE GAPS AND COLLECTION REQUIREMENTS
| Priority | Gap Description | Required Action | Confidence Impact |
|---|
| P1 (CRITICAL - MOVEMENT STATUS) | BRAVO-BLOCK Execution Confirmation. Absolute lack of confirmation regarding P2 movement after the 052215Z deadline. | IMMEDIATE ISR/HUMINT: Require ground confirmation/live video from the P2 staging area and initial AoA (Mine-clearing equipment lead required). | CRITICAL |
| P2 (CRITICAL - SMT TARGETING) | SMT Trajectory and Final Target Set. Confirmation of whether C2, Zolotonosha, or high-casualty civilian targets are prioritized. | IMMEDIATE SIGINT/ELINT: High priority filter on RF deep battle BDA and post-launch trajectory data streams. | HIGH |
| P3 (IO/DIPLOMATIC) | NCA's response to the Belgian asset seizure rejection. Critical to assess if this setback has caused internal strategic policy friction. | IMMEDIATE SECURE COMMS: Feedback loop required from NCA/Foreign Ministry advisors. | HIGH |
7. ACTIONABLE RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1. Operational Maneuver and Fires (J3 / G2)
ACTION: PRIORITIZE SMT INTERCEPTION OVER P4 FIXATION, ENSURE P2 MOVEMENT IS CONFIRMED.
- IADS Focus Reorientation: Issue an immediate, explicit command directive that ALL long-range AD assets (Patriot/NASAMS) prioritize missile defense for Zolotonosha and strategic C2 nodes. Local AD commanders dealing with P4 UAVs (Kyiv/Chernihiv/Dnipropetrovsk) must be ordered to rely primarily on low-cost/high-volume kinetic systems (MG, MANPADS, SHORAD) and EW, conserving high-value interceptors for the incoming SMT volley.
- P2 Gap Mitigation: If P2 movement confirmation is not received by 052245Z, begin preparatory C2 actions for a controlled tactical withdrawal from Phase Line ALPHA to prepared positions at Phase Line BETA, to prevent catastrophic encirclement/attrition once RF exploitation maximizes.
- Zaporizhzhia AOA Security: Activate all available Engineer Combat Teams (ECT) and Mine Clearing Line Charges (MCLC) on standby to breach "Mangas" minefields immediately upon P2 movement confirmation.
7.2. Strategic Communications (STRATCOM / NCA)
ACTION: REINFORCE INTERNATIONAL RESOLVE AND DENY DIPLOMATIC SETBACKS.
- Pre-Strike Narrative Control: Prepare a rapid-response STRATCOM package focused on the SMT launch, emphasizing that this is a predictable act of desperation following the RF fuel strike (Temryuk). This package must be ready for release immediately post-impact (BDA assessment).
- Counter-Fragmentation IO: Utilize diplomatic channels to downplay the Belgian asset seizure rejection, framing it as an internal EU procedural delay, not a rejection of overall support. Reiterate overwhelming US/NATO commitment (using previously established INTERFLEX training narrative).
7.3. Electronic Warfare (J6)
- P4 Interdiction Focus: Dedicate mobile EW assets operating in the Kyiv/Chernihiv sectors to maximum-power, broad-spectrum jamming focused on UAV C2/GPS frequencies, accepting the risk of reduced local C2 functionality, to ensure these fixation drones are neutralized without relying on scarce interceptors.
- SMT Trajectory EW: Prepare to engage any suspected RF P4 assets (drones, EW platforms) that are actively tracking or relaying BDA for the SMT volley near Zolotonosha to blind post-strike reconnaissance.
