Finally in YouTube. AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel radar gets knocked out by Russian artillery. This radar provides the 'eyes' for NASAMS and Avenger AA systems. Critical loss as bad as the loss of TRM-4D radar for Iris-T by a Lancet.

It took them long enough to come to that conclusion.
It says it should be upgraded to increase its efficiency.
original Soviet Union cruise missile defense was based on MIG-31 datalink to cover area of 800km wide. now missiles have become alot stealthy and the radars that can find missiles and MLRS launchers on ground will be more effective. so i would think Su-34M can provide the loitering time of AWACS and it has pod for side looking airborne radars. I just dont think AWACS that stay much further behind than modern fighter provide that extra edge against small drones and cruise missiles.
the expert is saying putting first stage version of Su-35 radar on An-12.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, during a conference call with the leadership of the Russian Armed Forces, said that the A-50 long-range radar detection and control (AWACS) aircraft should be upgraded to improve the efficiency of solving tasks. This is reported on the official website of the military department
Military expert Ilya Kramnik in his Telegram channel noted that the shortage of specialized equipment can be overcome with the help of An-12, by putting appropriate equipment on them. For example, the Irbis N035 radar is "at the first stage removed from the Su-35 fighters under repair." According to the expert, the number of models undergoing repairs is generally constant. Taking into account the fighting and intensive flights, they are "not as few as we would like."

Not going to post pics on the raid on Prigozhyn's home as being unsuitable for audiences, but will just relate as to what I read on the Russian channels.

Large amounts of paper currency were found. Initially confiscated but decided to return all that money to Prigozhyn.

Nothing illegal or incriminating was found.

Something disturbing was found although by itself wasn't illegal. But it does shine on what might be the darker side of Prigozhyn's personality and his organization. There was a framed picture of severed heads of several ISIS fighters heaped in a pile. I presume this was done by Wagner mercenaries in sweet retaliation to another event.

On to other topics.

News from @rybar, pro-Russian account. Data from pro-Ukrainian accounts will differ.

Destruction of CV-90, confirmed with geolocation.

"The first destroyed Swedish infantry fighting vehicle CV90 in Ukraine

In the telegram channel Peer and sword @peromishpagoi laid out frames destruction of Ukrainian armored vehicles in Nevsky in the territory of the Lugansk People's Republic occupied by the Armed Forces.

Coordinates: 49.174954265563464, 37.980265360754025

Judging by the visual outlines and location of the hatch, the video is really Swedish BMP CV90 or Strf 90. Only recently we published shots with the movement of echelons with Swedish armored vehicles through Slovakia.

And now the first confirmed destruction of one of these machines by Russian fighters has appeared. In total, about 50 units were transferred. Swedish infantry fighting vehicles are considered one of the best in their category, at least so they were PRED West.

The defeat of CV90 once again confirms one truth: no matter how modern and modernized equipment is delivered to the enemy — it can be destroyed with coordinated interaction of intelligence, UAV operators and impact units."

"Swatov section of the front and battles at Novoselovsky
situation to the end of July 6, 2023

On Swatow site Russian units continue to storm the positions of the Armed Forces in the area Novoselovsky. After establishing control over the depot of the Armed Forces, they entrenched in the second street and transferred efforts to the surroundings.

Fighters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation storm strongholds in the south of the village. As a result of the fighting, Russian servicemen occupied several forest belts by the railway, including west of the railway line.

Now the assault units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are trying to advance towards the landing adjacent to Novoselovsky. Behind it is an important height 190 meters, because of which the movement from the south is complicated.

Also today there is information about the successful attack of Russian troops at the turn Makeevka — Nevsky. However, this section is covered with the fog of war, and reliable data on what is happening, except destruction CV90, not there.

Nevertheless, the offensive with limited goals is quite logical, as it will extend the defense of Ukrainian formations along the front against the background of activation as in the area Torque performance and Novoselovsky."

"The situation at the end of the day on the fronts of a special military operation

On Soledarsky direction fierce fighting on the flanks continues Bakhmuta. Under Kleshchetovka Russian troops were able to advance and occupy heights west of the village, and under Berkhovka units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation expanded the control zone at the local reservoir.

On Avdeevsky the site Ukrainian formations attempted attacks on Russian positions north of Water — they were all successfully suppressed by small arms and artillery fire.

On Zaporizhskoye direction the enemy did not stop the roll in small groups on the village Stallions. Units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation confidently hold the defense, not allowing the Armed Forces to advance on the site. In the area Rabotino attacks by Ukrainian formations also did not have success.

On Khersonsky direction the Ukrainian command plans to carry out mass landing of the landing in several areas, and then to transfer the main forces either in the area Kakhovsky reservoirs, either through Dniprovsky estuary."

'Chronicle of a special military operation
for July 6, 2023

On the border Belgorod and Sumy areas representatives Russia and Ukraine conducted another exchange of prisoners of war, this time according to the formula « 45 on 45 ». All those released were taken to medical facilities of the Russian Ministry of Defense in Moscow.

Clashes continue throughout the line of combat contact. In the area Bakhmuta Russian units took previously lost positions, and under Avdeevka all attacks of the Armed Forces were repelled. Fighting does not subside on Zaporizhskoye direction, including in rural areas Stallions and Rabotino.

Under Swatovo destroyed first Swedish infantry fighting vehicle CV90. In total, about 50 units were transferred, and earlier they did not shine at the front. According to Western experts, these machines are considered one of the best in their category, however, as practice has shown, they can and should be destroyed.

barbaric shelling continues Donetsk agglomeration. Massive shots are on the third day. During this period, died five civilians, at least 92 injured of varying severity. Today two people died, still six injured, including one child.'

In Syria ISIS would behead all Wagner that surrenders, so very quickly Wagner had a vendetta against ISIS and would also behand any ISIS captured without question. They had a famous/infamous reputation as "ISIS-hunters", hence the photo.

Storm Shadow missile sent to Russian labs. The UK should have thought about that before sending them to Ukraine.

Near Klesheevka, the VKS is dropped a FAB-500 on a Ukrainian concentration and deployment point for an offensive. This was observed and the strike called by the Fakel Battalion, which is a Gazprom PMC unit. If the VKS starts throwing bombs they are serious defending that position. Russian law forbids PMCs from operating under Russian soil so if a PMC group is to operate it would have to be as a paramilitary volunteer group under the contract terms of the MoD.

FPV drones of the 1st Slavysnsk Brigade of the 1st Donestk Army Corp do their thing. However I have doubts that a front hit on a tank would kill or even scratch the tank, while the second footage shows the drone hit by EW interference in its final moments. Third footage shows explosion from third party POV.

Many U.S. news publications are reporting that the U.S. will include cluster munitions in the new weapons package for Ukraine.

Biden approves transfer of cluster munitions to Ukraine - The Washington Post

The American publication writes that the United States will transfer M864 cluster artillery shells for 155-mm howitzers to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At the same time, the American newspaper focuses on the issue of the danger of using such ammunition.

More than 20 years ago, the Pentagon analyzed unexploded submunitions from M864 clusters. The share of unexploded submunitions was equal to 6% of all fired. The publication concludes that at least four out of every 72 submunitions carried by each cartridge will remain unexploded. And all this in an area of approximately 22,500 square meters, which is equal to the size of 4 and a half football fields.

But 6% is not the final figure. As an anonymous Pentagon official told the newspaper, reports from a decade ago indicated that some 155mm cluster munitions had even higher levels of unexploded submunitions. On the official level, the Pentagon says that tests conducted in 2020 showed that the failure rate does not exceed 2.35 percent, and for Ukraine they will "carefully select ammunition with this indicator or lower."

Cluster munitions non-proliferation experts interviewed by the publication say the claims cannot be verified without access to test results.
@Slavyangrad

America just approved the sending of cluster munitions in their most recent aid package. Does this mean Russia can use cluster munitions now?

Not that Ukraine doesn't already use cluster munitions, but with the most recent aid package, their ability to use cluster munitions will be increased. Ukraine has been shelling both military and (primarily) residential areas since 2014 with such munitions.

❓But, the USA seemingly forgets that Russia has the largest arsenal of cluster, thermobaric, and phosphorus munitions in the world; something which Russia has mercifully used, only on specific targets throughout the SMO. If Russia decides to utilise such arsenals; there will be more significant more death on the Ukrainian side.
