Urban Clearance and Western Armour Attrition: The Konstantinovka Offensive

This is Frontline Updates. I’m your host. Today we’re breaking down the Russian Ministry of Defence report for 13 June 2026. The headline: the SOUTH Group has liberated one hundred seventy-two buildings inside Konstantinovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic, with assault groups clearing entire microdistricts. Meanwhile, the EAST Group continues its deep advance, and we have confirmed destruction of a German-made Leopard-2 tank and a U.S.-made Paladin self-propelled howitzer. To help us understand the operational art behind these moves,  from urban combat tactics to electronic warfare degradation,  we’re joined again by Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, infantry officer and military analyst. Colonel Oguntoye, welcome. We’ll go sector by sector: North, West, South, Center, East, and Dnepr. Then we’ll dedicate a full segment to operational-tactical aviation as a campaign-shaping domain. Plus, a tactical and strategic implications postscript. If you’re a professional analyst or just following the war closely, stay with us. #SMOAnalysis #bf7 #mw4 #Konstantinovka #Leopard2 #Paladin #EWwarfare #Donetsk
