So a 4,550 ton frigate, a newer Sub, a fueling tanker (they call a replenishment oiler) and the ever-present rescue tug. That's some fleet, to be sure.
The tugs are always present and, in my opinion the most important, should be designated the flagship.

The Russians should have done these exercise off the coast of South Carolina, Miss Lindsey Graham would have had several hot flashes, hissyfit's, a menopausal psychotic breakdown, and he would have to be restrained from jumping on a plane to Moscow to scratch Putin's eyes out.

Vlad tells the Red Banner Northern Fleet "You need to do something!"
(Ukraine has been a horror show, Black Sea and Eastern Med a clusterpuck, and Pac doesn't sortie without the Chinese along. "Go distract them or something!")
So they go burn a year's fuel for the entire division.

Oh dear. It’s so sad when — as indicated by the comments above, and those no doubt further to come over the rest of the day — one’s show of strength doesn’t.

Considering the sub, do you think they will trust local Cuban shore power? Or will they just stay critical next to the pier, screwing the nukes out of sweet shore liberty.

Well Pengy, I don't know the Russian regs, but US boats always have the reactor manned by qualified watchstanders. Even when tied up, shut down, in the shipyard. (I know a dude this happened to. "No, you're gonna be on call for the next year.")

the ever-present rescue tug
Cry "Havoc!" and let loose the tugs of war!
I wouldn't read too much into this. This is nowhere near enough ships to be scary. I figure they just wanted to take their new boat out for a drive, see if the welds are good, and no one left any parts off. Plus the boys get to R&R in a sunny land with warm girls. The Americans get the vapors and the Russians get the news cycle. One ping only, please.

21:10 The United States is involved in both reconnaissance and the production of drones, said the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Vadim Sukharevsky. According to him, there is also cooperation with France in terms of modernizing the drones that they planned to transfer to Ukraine. Also, in all areas at the command level of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Ukraine cooperates with Norway, Spain, Canada, and South Korea.
Sukharevsky also said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are considering an alternative to Starlink for working with drones: “This issue is being resolved, a whole working group for dialogue has been created.

18:40 At the summit of the Bucharest Nine, which unites nine countries of the eastern wing of NATO, it was not possible to agree on a joint statement and reach consensus on Stoltenberg’s successor as head of the Alliance due to the position of Hungary, Czech President Petr Pavel said. According to him, the reason for the lack of results of the B9 summit was Hungary’s reluctance to accept the candidacy of Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte for the post of NATO Secretary General, as well as the issue of supporting Ukraine in connection with Russian aggression. At the same time, at the summit they did not say “a word” about Hungary’s possible withdrawal from the union, as previously reported by the media.
At the same time, the presidents of Latvia, Poland and Romania published their statement following the meeting in Riga, where they expressed deep concern about “Russia’s recent malicious hybrid actions on the territory of the Alliance countries, posing a threat to the security of NATO members.” They also expressed hope that the NATO summit in Washington will help bring Ukraine closer to the Alliance and offer it a “substantial package of support.”

Discussions about excluding Budapest are “very serious,” one of the interlocutors noted.
15:59 Zelensky answered the media question whether Ukraine will be able to mobilize a sufficient number of people to liberate the occupied territories: “As for mobilization, we are mobilizing in connection with the martial law.

The city authorities called on the use of tap water only for technical purposes. “The leadership of the city administration has decided to take additional measures to disinfect water. Hyperchlorination of the water system has begun in the city,” the city administration informed today on its Telegram channel.
The authorities also reported on the continuation of water supplies to citizens. “Water delivery in the city of Buynaksk continues. Water is delivered first of all to medical institutions, then to city residents,” another message on the city hall’s telegram channel states. The authorities also called on car owners to “take part in the supply of water to the population.”
Let us remind you that the investigation believes that the victims of poisoning drank drinking water, which is supplied to the homes of Buinaksk residents through water lines. On June 11, searches were carried out at Buynakskvodokanal, the Investigative Committee reported.
The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that mass poisonings of people have repeatedly occurred in the Buynaksky region. In particular, on June 22, 2022, in the village of Nizhneye Kazanishche, 49 people were hospitalized with signs of food poisoning.

[REGNUM] The Russian army is developing an offensive along the entire length of the contact line - from Kharkov to Zaporozhye regions. The hottest area remains Donbass, where the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is feverishly building lines of defense, and units are abandoning positions.
Russian troops were able to advance in a number of directions, liberating the village of Praskovievka in the Maryinsky direction. This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Even Vladimir Zelensky recognized the situation in Donbass as critical for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, writing in his Telegram channel: “Donetsk region: the most difficult.”
The Russian Armed Forces are simultaneously advancing to the north, northwest and west of Donetsk, pushing through the defenses of the Ukrainian troops.
TEROBORONA IS RUNNING
In the former Avdeevsky direction, Russian troops advancing from the village of Ocheretino advanced towards the village of Novoaleksandrovka. Already on the morning of June 11, military correspondent Yuri Kotenok reported that Novoaleksandrovka had completely come under the control of Russian forces - the enemy had been driven out from the western outskirts of the village.
It is noted that the units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which held the defense in the village, left the center of the village without permission without notifying the command.
Some Ukrainian sources blamed the commanders of one of the territorial defense units. Previously, the same unit held defenses on the outskirts of Ocheretino and also, in fact, fled, which led to the loss of the settlement.
Other sources, on the contrary, blame the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the fact that the units holding this area did not reinforce them in a timely manner and did not deliver ammunition to them.
A source in the ranks of the 1st Army Corps told IA Regnum about the situation in the Novoaleksandrovka area. According to him, the Avdeevsky direction for the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been significantly weakened, and reinforcements are going to other sectors of the front.
“Previously, the 110th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was in our direction, then the 47th. The last part of the forces was transferred to Chasov Yar, the remaining ones have been running around all directions like a fire brigade for several months without rotation - providing cover whenever possible, but there simply aren’t enough of them. The remaining plots are for military equipment and other illiquid assets,” the source said.
"THE LAST FRONTIER ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF DONETSK"
It is reported that the 47th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost another American M1A2 Abrams tank in the Avdeevsky direction: it was first disabled and then finished off. The car was saved neither by the installation of dynamic protection units, nor by an additional protection complex in the form of a hinged metal canopy, known as a “barbecue.”
According to the Lostarmour portal, whose experts analyze the losses of armored vehicles in military conflicts, this is already the 11th such tank lost by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In total, the United States supplied Ukraine with 31 vehicles. In March 2024, M1A2 Abrams were used for the first time in the Avdievka direction, but this did not help Ukrainian troops stop the advance of Russian troops.
Also, the Regnum news agency source spoke about the advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the direction of the village of Novoselovka Pervaya and towards Novopokrovsky south of Ocheretino. The offensive continues in the area of Krasnohorivka, west of Donetsk. According to data from the ground, Russian troops took control of part of the village. Fighting continues in the city center along Sumskaya and Tsentralnaya streets, as well as in the northern part - in the area of Tchaikovsky Street.
“The enemy holds the western part of the settlement, there are rumors that they will not cling to the outskirts, but will immediately retreat to the other side of the Lozovaya River. But for now they are clinging tightly to Krasnohorivka, because here, in fact, is their last frontier on the outskirts of Donetsk,” our interlocutor explains.
The situation in the Donetsk direction forced the Ukrainian Armed Forces to more actively use the few remaining reserves. In the Ocheretino area, Mi-24 attack helicopters were used, which operate at extremely low altitudes and strike with unguided aircraft missiles. But the vehicles are used locally and are tried to be withdrawn from the line of combat contact as soon as possible, so they do not significantly affect the front-line situation.
HUNTING BRADLEY
The tense situation remains in the area of the settlement of Chasov Yar, where Russian troops are pushing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the right bank of the Seversky Donets - Donbass canal. The fighting continues in the residential area of the Canal microdistrict, located on the left bank.
On Sunday, June 9, military correspondent Andrei Rudenko reported that the Russian flag was raised in Chasov Yar: “the movement is moving towards the city center. The enemy is retreating, since from this direction the “Germans” withdrew reserves towards Kupyansk.”
At the same time, a Regnum news agency source located in the area reports: indeed, Russian assault units managed to penetrate the enemy’s defenses, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to fiercely resist.
“We can already confirm that we managed to get hold of and clear several high-rise buildings. But there is no need to say that they caved in somewhere. Reserves arrive at Chasov Yar, we note that shells have been delivered to them - the artillery is snarling. Aviation is actively working on our side,” the agency’s interlocutor said.
Ukrainian sources also complain about the activity of aviation and Russian drones. Over the past five days, aviation has targeted several enemy strongholds, and another American Bradley infantry fighting vehicle has become the prey of drone operators.
THE ZAPOROZHYE FRONT BEGAN TO MOVE
Russian troops are also advancing in the Zaporozhye direction. Assault units established control over the northern part of the village of Staromayorskoye. Footage of the raising of the national flag on the outskirts of the village was published in Telegram channels.
Information about the liberation of the village was confirmed by the Ministry of Defense. “Units of the Vostok group of troops continued to advance into the depths of the enemy’s defenses and liberated the village of Staromayorskoye,” the department noted.
At the same time, Ukrainian sources confirmed the loss of control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces over the village of Rabotino south of Orekhov.
It is noteworthy that both settlements, Staromayorskoye and Rabotino, were occupied by Ukrainian troops as a result of the “Zaluzhny counter-offensive”. In fact, this was the only tangible result of three months of fighting, which cost the Ukrainian troops thousands of dead and hundreds of armored vehicles.
Now we are no longer talking about any “counter-attacks”. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, despite the brutal mobilization, do not have enough people, and supplies from the West cannot make up for the losses in equipment. If the trend continues, Russian troops will be able to break through the front in one of the sectors and enter the operational space.

[Regnum] The ex-commander of the 58th Army, Major General Ivan Popov, who was arrested in a case of major fraud, may be sent to the Northern Military District zone, in this case the criminal procedure code allows the investigation of the criminal case to be suspended, lawyer Sergei Buinovsky said on June 11.
“A military leader of such a level as Popov should still be sitting at the front, and not in a detention center,” the lawyer told Izvestia.
As Buinovsky explained, sending to the special operation zone will become possible if the commander of the Southern Military District sends a corresponding petition to the Investigative Committee.
Popov was arrested on May 17 in a criminal case of fraud. He was accused of stealing more than 1.7 thousand tons of metal structures worth 130 million rubles, purchased to create a defense line in the Zaporozhye region. The major general was arrested until July 16 under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Fraud on an especially large scale”). Popov denies any wrongdoing.
In June, the 2nd Western District Military Court considered an appeal to change the preventive measure for Popov to house arrest. In addition to the defense, the prosecution also supported this, since he gave incriminating evidence against other participants in the theft. The court left the accused in custody.
A court in Moscow, in the framework of the criminal case of Major General Ivan Popov, decided on June 10 to arrest a new defendant for two months. His identity was not revealed. It is known that the new defendant in the case was charged with the same thing.
Popov’s father, in a conversation with IA Regnum, declared his son’s innocence. In his opinion, ill-wishers “dug” under the major general and set him up.

[Regnum] The nuclear submarine Kazan and the frigate Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov practiced the use of high-precision missile weapons in the Atlantic during the exercise, the Ministry of Defense reported on June 11.
“The crews of a frigate and a nuclear submarine missile cruiser are practicing the use of high-precision missile weapons using computer modeling,” the department informed.
The submarine and frigate Admiral Gorshkov used high-precision missile weapons as part of Northern Fleet maneuvers. During the exercises, strikes were made against naval targets at a distance of more than 600 km.
The department added that Admiral Gorshkov several days ago conducted training to repel an air attack in the Atlantic Ocean. The frigate performed long-distance missions in the Atlantic Ocean as part of a detachment of ships of the Northern Fleet. As part of this training, the actions of combat crews and the interaction of command posts when firing with AK-192M artillery mounts and the Broadsword anti-aircraft missile artillery system at simulated air targets were practiced.
As Regnum reported, in January 2023, the frigate Admiral Gorshkov carried out a strike with a Zircon hypersonic missile in the Atlantic. As part of a ship-based combat exercise to launch a missile strike against an enemy surface target, the frigate practiced the use of hypersonic weapons at a distance of more than 900 km. The launch efficiency was assessed as fully consistent with expectations.
“Although the United States does not view these exercises as a threat, American ships will be deployed to monitor Russian ships,” the statement said.
One of the American officials, in a conversation with a TV channel correspondent, noted: American intelligence is confident that the nuclear submarine, part of a group of Russian ships heading to Havana, does not carry nuclear weapons.
To monitor the ships of the Russian Navy, the United States sent three destroyers, two ships with towed sonars and one coast guard ship.
As reported by Regnum news agency, it was previously reported that a group of ships of the Russian Navy will arrive at the port of Havana on June 12. The group includes the frigate Admiral Gorshkov, the nuclear submarine Kazan, the tanker Akademik Pashin and the rescue tug Nikolai Chiker. The Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba emphasized that all ships do not have nuclear weapons. Naval exercises will take place in the Caribbean on Wednesday, according to CBS.
John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, said on CNN that Washington does not consider the visit of Russian ships to Cuba a threat to US national security.
More from the V Kontakte page of Reports from the New Russia militia United States cannot find the Kazan submarine off the coast of Miami.
Foreign experts write that the Russian Project 885M submarine Kazan is currently located at a distance of approximately 100 km from Miami, in the waters of the Straits of Florida.
Two P8 Poseidon patrol aircraft and two Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers were deployed to search for the Kazan.
On June 10, the carrier of Zircon hypersonic missiles, the frigate Admiral Gorshkov, arrived in the capital of Cuba. Later, it was joined by a Russian nuclear submarine, a carrier of hypersonic and cruise missiles.
It is unknown where the submarine is located at the moment.

[Regnum] The Russian armed forces continue to maintain the initiative and keep the situation in the Kharkov region under control, despite the efforts of Ukrainian troops.British analyst Alexander Merkouris stated this on his YouTube channel.
“Despite the fact that in recent weeks we have heard about a counter-offensive by Ukrainian troops in the Kharkov area, it has not yet become a reality; on the contrary, the Russians retain the initiative,” the expert said.
According to him, the Ukrainian command continues to send additional reinforcements and reserves to the Kharkov region. At the same time, Merkouris emphasized that the Russian Armed Forces have complete air superiority.
The British analyst also suggested that the Armed Forces of Ukraine at this stage of the conflict are not able to conduct successful offensive operations, and the hasty attempts of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, to return the territories lost in the Kharkov region only lead to even greater losses.
As Regnum reported, on June 11, official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense Igor Konashenkov said during a briefing that units of the West group of troops liberated Timkovka in the Kharkov region and Artyomovka in the Lugansk People's Republic. Soldiers of the military group “North” continued to advance deeper into the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, repelled two enemy counterattacks, and also attacked the positions of Ukrainian troops in the Glubokoe and Tikhoe regions. During the day, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost more than 265 servicemen, the Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled gun, the 2S3 Akatsiya self-propelled gun, the D-20 howitzer, the Grad MLRS combat vehicle and the Nota electronic warfare station.
