AMK Mapping

Thanks for 60k everyone!

This time last year I had around 25k, so it's amazing to see this growth.

Also a big thanks to @medmannews for the shoutout to push me over the milestone.

A fire is seen burning in Dnipro following the Iskander-M ballistic missile strikes.

High threat of Iskander-M ballistic missile launches from Taganrog, Rostov Oblast.

⚡️🇦🇪 The two pilots had not been fighting over political or social reasons, apparently, one of the pilots was suicidal and tried to crash the plane, the other pilot prevented his suicide attempt and disarmed him.

That is to say, the security checks to make sure no one sympathizes with Hamas or the Arab conflicts made the security organs of the UAE and Israel completely forget the possibility that they might have had a maniac.

Kramatorsk continues to be "de-civilianised".

From today, all traffic lights will stop working across all of Kramatorsk due to the deteriorating security situation and high activity of Russian FPV drones.

Public transport will likely follow soon after.

🇦🇪⚡️ — Channel 12 and Channel 14 report that the pilots got into a physical altercation while the Boeing 737 was airborne, and that's what caused this.

Israeli media is now reporting that it likely was not a hijacking, but rather an incident of violence onboard.

160 passengers are onboard the aircraft, 100 of which are reportedly Israeli.

The aircraft is likely about to land at Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.

A FlyDubai Boeing 737 flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv has likely been hijacked, and Israeli Air Force fighter jets have reportedly been scrambled. FlightRadar24 showed the aircraft squawking an 7700 emergency code, before it rapidly dropped in altitude and speed.

Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz are currently holding an emergency meeting with senior Israeli officials. Israeli media reports that the aircraft is expected to land in Saudi Arabia in the next ~5 minutes.

Ben Gurion International Airport has been temporarily closed until the incident is over.

NASA FIRMS data indicates that large fires broke out at the Kyiv CHP-5 Combined Heat and Power Plant, the Trypillya Thermal Power Plant, and the Kyiv Hydroelectric Power Plant, following last night's combined Russian missile and drone attack.

Oniks supersonic cruise missiles and Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles struck the Trypillya TPP.

Kn-23 ballistic missiles and Oniks missiles struck the CHP-5 power plant.

Iskander-M ballistic missiles and RM-48U S-400 ballistic missiles struck the Kyiv HPP.

A large number of Geran-4 and Geran-5 jet-drones were also used.

Muh frontline sources...

I know something that you all don't, but I can't say it, so I'm going to make this post engagement farming.

Then in the next couple weeks when something positive inevitably happens for Ukraine, I can claim that this is what I was referring to and I was right all along!

Russians are going around messaging Ukrainian/pro-Ukrainian channels impersonating as Ukrainian soldiers posing outside recaptured villages in the Lyman direction, and sending "exclusive" videos for them to post.

In reality, this is a Russian informational warfare campaign aimed at discrediting the Ukrainian counteroffensive. The soldiers shown are AI-generated, based on obituaries of previously killed Ukrainian soldiers.

I was sent one of these videos a few days ago, but luckily I, unlike some channels, don't post everything they get sent with the hopes of being "first" and getting lots of views. Some channels fell for this bait and posted the video claiming it was "exclusive, sent from our sources on the ground".

This was a good litmus test to see which channels actually check to see if their "information from the ground" is accurate, and which ones don't bother and just blindly post it with the hopes of getting lot's of views.

Regarding this "surprising" geolocation of Ukrainian soldiers active in the village of Shevchenko, Komar direction.

As I have been reporting for some time, Ukrainian forces have been fighting on the outskirts of Shevchenko since late-July - over 2 months ago. They have suffered heavy casualties while trying to cross the multi-layered defensive line north of the village to gain a foothold.

Due to these attacks bringing little success, and their temporary deployment points getting destroyed by Russian KAB glide-bombs, Ukrainian forces opted instead for attacking the village from the northwest around three weeks ago, infiltrating from newly captured positions in the Maliivka area and entering the northwestern part of Shevchenko. These attacks proved much more successful, with them eventually gaining a foothold in the village around two weeks ago.

Since then, Ukrainian forces have been advancing south and east of the village towards Vilne Pole, Vesele, and Burlatske, where heavy fighting is currently ongoing. They are also working to clear the remaining Russian positions in the eastern streets of Shevchenko.

This geolocation does not represent a sudden 6 km breakthrough by Ukrainian forces. In reality, fighting for this sector has been ongoing since June, with Ukrainian forces making slow, costly gains. This has all been shrouded in OPSEC by the Ukrainian command, both for genuine OPSEC purposes, and also to create the illusion of quick and easy success once these advances are eventually officially revealed.
