🚨🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺 Zaporizhzhia - Crimea Front — New Weapons, New Offensive Possibilities 🗓 July 10, 2026 | Day 1595 ➡️ Ukraine is reportedly preparing a renewed push in the Zaporizhzhia sector while continuing long range strikes against Russian logistics linking southern Ukraine to Crimea. 🔴 Recent attacks on bridges, crossings, and supply routes aim to isolate Russian forces by disrupting the main land corridor to the peninsula. ➡️ At the same time, the US is expanding deliveries of advanced systems, including the Typhon Mid-Range Capability, designed to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles and SM-6 missiles, significantly increasing long-range strike potential. 🔴 The broader objective appears to be weakening Russian logistics before any major ground assault, forcing supplies onto longer and more vulnerable routes. ⚠️ If successful, such an operation could place additional pressure on Russia’s southern front and complicate military support to Crimea, though any breakthrough would likely face heavily fortified defensive lines. 🔴 The British have sent a Boeing RC-135W Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft to Crimea. ➡️ Given that nothing good happens either before or after the appearance of such machines, one should expect some kind of large scale attack like another wave of drone and maybe missile strikes on Crimea.
