There are dozens of destroyed logistics UGVs along the H-20 highway, the main supply artery for the AFU defenders in Konstantinovka and surrounding areas, showing just how many casualties the AFU would have incurred had they not switched from using trucks driven by servicemen to crewless vehicles.

🇱🇻 Latvian prime-minister, Evika Siliņa, will resign following the accidental Ukrainian drone strike on an oil depot in the city of Rēzekne.

The scandal caused the resignation of the defense minister but that was not enough to quell the unrest against her government with one of the three parties supporting Siliņa's cabinet, The Progressives, withdrawing support, leaving the New Unity party without a ruling majority.

One of the promises made by the Latvian government was to improve the country's air defenses but the two Ukrainian drones which crashed in Rēzekne were not detected by the country's radars nor was there any attempt to intercept them.

While the Ukrainian foreign minister claimed that the drones veered off course due to Russian electronic warfare, the geographic position of Rēzekne makes it very unlikely that the drones came from inside Russia and that, rather, they came from Lithuania and were on their way to Estonia and then the Gulf of Finland from which they'd attack the Russian oil terminals in Ust-Luga and Primorsk.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Over the past few days, Russian deep reconnaissance groups (DRGs) infiltrated the village of Molocharka, showing that they have consolidated their presence in the village of Novodimitryevka.

Through Molocharka is where the AFU supplies the garrison defending Chasov Yar which holds the keys to Konstantinovka.

The Russians have been unable to take the hills east of Konstantinovka until two weeks ago when they were able to infiltrate Novodimitryevka and consolidate control over the village. Logistics for the Ukrainians in this sector are terrible as is but losing those hills would make the positions in Chasov Yar and Konstantinovka untenable.

At the same time, Russian troops have been infiltrating the city from the southwest pushed as far as the downtown.

The situation resembles the battle for Pokrovsk in its late stages in late September-early October 2025.

While it is still possible for the AFU to stabilize the situation and prevent a sudden fall, they would need to pull off the experienced brigades used to stabilise the front near Volchansk and Kupiansk, Kharkov Oblast, which would inevitably lead to the Russians making gains in those areas and would mean those experienced brigades would be exposed to high casualty rates if sent into Konstantinvoka.

The battle for the city began in October 2025. What's happening right now is the result of ~8 months of assaults and shelling by the RuAF.

🇺🇸⚓️ Virginia Subs Will Hit 2-A-Year Build Rate in 2030s, CNO Caudle Says

Shipbuilders are on track to deliver two Virginia-class attack submarines per year in the early 2030s, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle told defense appropriators on Tuesday.

Based on the current investment in the submarine industrial base and workforce and the expansion of distributed construction, Caudle estimated that builders General Dynamics Electric Boat and HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding will hit the two-a-year delivery rate for the attack boats by 2032.

Caudle’s comments are in line with the goal the service has set to achieve a rate of two Virginias and one Columbia-class nuclear ballistic missile submarine per year by Fiscal Year 2031 as a justification of $6.2 billion in submarine industrial base spending, according to the Navy’s long-range shipbuilding plan released on Monday.

Currently, the delivery rate for Virginia-class submarines is about 1.3 a year, USNI News understands. In 2023, then Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro said the Navy was set to meet a 2028 two-a-year rate for the submarines.

The build rate for the Virginia-class boats is key to the AUKUS security pact between the U.S., the United Kingdom and Australia. As part of AUKUS, the U.S. plans to sell several Virginia-class boats to the Australians starting in the 2030s while Canberra’s industrial base develops the domestic workforce and infrastructure to build its own nuclear-powered submarines.

Navy officials have said for years that the U.S. industrial base must build 2.33 attack boats per year, in addition to one Columbia-class boomer, for the U.S. to sell the attack boats to the Australians.

🇺🇸⚓️ Trump Class Battleships Will Be Nuclear Powered

Equipping the Trump class with nuclear propulsion presents benefits, but also massive challenges, and Navy officials had been pushing back against the idea.

The U.S. Navy says its future Trump class battleships are now set to be nuclear-powered. This is a huge development that will impact the cost and complexity of the design. With those issues in mind, now-former Secretary of the Navy John Phelan had said this was “unlikely” to happen just four weeks ago.

The Navy announced its intention to fit a nuclear propulsion system to the Trump class warships in its latest annual shipbuilding plan, which was released earlier today. The document also refers to these future large surface combatants as BBGNs, or nuclear-powered (N) guided-missile (G) battleships (BB). USNI News was first to report on this development.

The only nuclear-powered surface vessels in the Navy’s fleet today are its Nimitz and Ford class aircraft carriers. The service has not had a nuclear-powered surface combatant since the 1990s. During that decade, the one-of-a-kind cruiser USS Long Beach, destroyer USS Truxtun (later recategorized as a cruiser), and frigate USS Bainbridge, as well as two California class and four Virginia class cruisers (the latter not to be confused with the subsequent Virginia class of attack submarines) all left active duty. Nuclear propulsion offers functionally unlimited range, as well as a major boost in onboard power generation. It also comes with cost and complexity, in terms of a ship’s core design, and what it takes to operate and maintain it. We will come back to those issues later on.

The Navy has now outlined plans to acquire 15 Trump class BBGNs, one virtually every other year, between Fiscal Year 2028 and 2055. Two are also set to be ordered back-to-back in Fiscal Years 2030 and 2031. An initial official estimate has put the price tag of each of these ships at $17 billion. This is more than what the service expects to spend on each of the next three Ford class aircraft carriers, the projected unit costs of which range from roughly $13 to $15 billion.
