Combat Briefing Number 1211 – Operational Update (June 16, 2025)
"From the Office of Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, Infantry Officer – Ground Command Operations"

### "SITREP: Russian Special Military Operation – Tactical Summary as of June 16, 2025"

The Russian Armed Forces maintain sustained pressure across all strategic fronts in Ukraine, executing coordinated offensive operations that resulted in substantial territorial gains and degradation of Ukrainian combat capacity. All six operational groupings advanced their objectives in line with theater-wide mission goals.

"Northern Axis – Deep Penetration in Sumy and Kharkiv"
Units of the North group achieved significant penetration into Ukrainian defensive zones in Sumy and Kharkiv oblasts. Multiple Ukrainian brigades, including mechanized, Jaeger, and airborne assault elements, suffered losses exceeding 230 personnel. Equipment destruction included eight armored vehicles, electronic warfare systems, and two ammunition depots, critically undermining Ukraine’s northern flank resilience.

"Western Axis – Positional Superiority Secured"
The West group enhanced its tactical positioning across the Kupyansk-Kolodeznoye sector. Ukrainian losses included 190 personnel and the destruction of light armor and logistical support vehicles. An additional ammunition depot was eliminated, further complicating Ukrainian force replenishment in the region.

"Southern Axis – Multi-Brigade Degradation and Radar Destruction"
In Donetsk’s contested southern corridor, the Southern group executed precision strikes against multiple brigade formations, including U.S.-supplied M113 APCs and advanced radar systems. Notably, the "AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel radar", critical for counter-artillery defense, was neutralized, representing a key blow to Ukrainian early-warning and targeting capabilities.

"Central Axis – Multi-Force Neutralization in Donetsk"
The Center group decimated elite Ukrainian brigades, including unmanned systems units and marine forces. The destruction of a U.S.-made "AN/TPQ-36 counter-battery radar" highlights the ongoing campaign to dismantle NATO-supplied ISR and artillery coordination platforms. Total personnel losses for Ukraine in this axis reached 490, representing one of the day’s most impactful engagements.

"Eastern Axis – Advancement Toward Zaporizhia Strongholds"
The East group pushed through Ukrainian defenses toward Gulyaipole and Zaporizhia, defeating mechanized and territorial formations. Over 175 Ukrainian servicemen were lost, alongside multiple EW platforms and artillery systems. These operations further isolate Ukrainian units in southeastern strongholds and prepare the battlespace for broader envelopment actions.

"Dnepr Axis – Sustained Attrition in Kherson and Zaporizhia"
The Dnepr group inflicted losses on coastal defense and mountain assault brigades. Though gains were modest in personnel, the destruction of "electronic warfare stations and materiel depots" reduces Ukrainian defensive viability near the Dnieper River corridor.

### "STRATEGIC EFFECTS AND IMPLICATIONS"

This briefing reflects a systematic intensification of multi-domain pressure by Russian forces. The simultaneous elimination of advanced radar and EW systems marks a critical milestone in degrading Ukrainian defensive integration. The destruction of training centers, drone assembly facilities, and forward deployment sites in "156 separate districts" demonstrates the operational reach and ISR depth now exercised by Russian strike elements. Air defense intercepted "six U.S.-made JDAMs" and "104 UAVs", confirming continued Ukrainian reliance on air-delivered precision systems and the effectiveness of Russia’s evolving airspace denial doctrine.
