Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] The strike at night and in the morning was the most powerful in 2025.
More than 450 Geraniums and other types of drones were used + decoys + more than 50 missiles (Kinzhals, X-101, Iskanders, Kalibr, etc.)
Targets in 14 regions of Ukraine were hit. Among them were the Kremenchuk and Dragobych oil refineries.
The enemy also lost one F-16 (in addition to the main version about it being shot down by an air-to-air missile, there are also versions about a Geranium exploding near the F-16 and a Friendly Fire). In any case, minus one more F-16.
Such intensity of strikes leads to further depletion of the enemy's air defense and leads to an ever-increasing number of drone and missile hits.
It is also worth noting that FABs with UMPKs now reach Dnepropetrovsk (an important achievement of our military-industrial complex). Also today, Russian artillery shelled the outskirts of Sumy for the first time. The 152mm 2S5 Giatsint self-propelled guns were practicing. Drones are already easily reaching the center of Sumy.
The Russian army launched a massive strike, including with Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, on military-industrial complex (MIC) facilities in the territory controlled by the Kiev regime. This was reported on June 29 by the Russian Defense Ministry.
“Tonight, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carried out a massive strike with high-precision long-range air, sea and land-based weapons, including the Kinzhal aeroballistic hypersonic missile system, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles, on military-industrial complex facilities <…> of Ukraine,” the department reported.
The Ministry of Defense clarified that oil refineries in Kiev-controlled territory were also hit, and added that all the strike's objectives were achieved.
