Desk note: Monexus reports from the Telegram open-source monitoring layer (AMK_Mapping, war_monitor) rather than from wire confirmations, because no wire confirmation of Zircon use had cleared by the article's filing time at 23:00 UTC on 1 July 2026. Ukrainian Air Force briefings, when issued, will be added in a subsequent update.
