The next combined Russian missile and drone attack involving strategic aviation has been delayed due to large-scale training missions taking place from Ukrainka Airbase in the Far East.

Tu-95MS and Tu-160M strategic bombers are taking part, along with IL-78M aerial refuellers. They are expected to continue tonight.

This does not rule out the possibility of a large-scale attack taking place without strategic aviation, utilising large amounts of Kalibr cruise missiles, Iskander-M ballistic missiles, and other weapons. Russia has accumulated several hundred Geran-2/Gerbera drones at their launch sites over the last week and a half.

Deepstate has denied claims of a Russian retreat from the Kinburn Spit in Mykolaiv Oblast, stating that Russian forces continue to launch Molniya FPV drones towards Kherson and Mykolaiv Oblasts from here, and continues to maintain electronic warfare systems.

They also stated that the recent video showing a Ukrainian flag on the Kinburn Spit was dropped by a drone, and that there is no Ukrainian operation to retake it.

Ukrainian Navy Spokesperson has also refuted claims of a Russian retreat.

The Commander of Ukraine's 425th Assault Regiment "Skala", Lieutenant Colonel Yuriy Harkavy, has been suspended from his position, amid a pre-trial investigation into reports of abuse of the unit's servicemen.

This comes after the Ukrainian media outlet "Babel" conducted an independent investigation into alleged abuse by the 425th Assault Regiment. According to their findings, Skala's servicemen suffered beatings and humiliation rituals, resulting in 26 fatalities in their training centres alone.

Skala is a part of Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi's so-called "personal army", and despite technically having the Regiment status, they are estimated to number at least 10,000 soldiers, about the size of a Division. They are directly subordinate to Syrskyi, alongside other assault units, operating outside the traditional corps format, and engage in extremely costly assault operations, where they have been reported to employ suicide assaults using forcibly mobilised conscripts.
