The beginning of the 70th week with the confirmation of the covenant. "In the Midst of the Week" (1260 days or 3.5 years),The 2nd half of the week, the AoD happens. NOT 1260 days later. From the Middle of Daniel's 70th week, 1260 days or more, the 2nd Advent (coming) of the Lord happens.
Blade
Blade, that is a nominal way to to view the 70th week. But in reality it is not "exactly" correct... but close. I will explain.
"midst of the week" is an expression meaning middle part of the week. It does not mean middle day - as on day 1260.
The AOD is setup 1335 days before Jesus returns. It works out to be on day 1185 of the 2520 days 7 years. Day 1185 is in the middle part of the week... fitting the Daniel 9:27 description.
On day 1260, the two witnesses are killed. 3 1/2 days later, they ascend... on day 1263.5. Leaving 1256.5 days, which the bible calls 42 months in this particular case, that the beast rules unimpeded by the two witnesses who will be gone.
There is the common tendency for people to convert the 42 months as 30 days x 42 to be 1260 days. Mathematically, conversion-wise, this makes sense. But in the special case
in Revelation, that is not the case, because the 42 months expression takes into account the small portion of time of the 3 1/2 days that the two witnesses's bodies lie dead in the streets of Jerusalem.
1260 days + 3 1/2 days + 1256.5 days (the 42 months) = 2520 days.
___________________________________________________________________
Similarly, in Revelation 12:6 is the 1260 days of the two witnesses. Then the war in heaven, as some amount of earth time passes, which is not given. Leaving Satan a time, times, half time, has left in the seven years. Which is something less than 1260 days, because it takes into account the amount of time for the war in heaven (the second heaven).
1260 days + war time in heaven + time, times, half time = 2520 days.

How the time frames fit, whether
within the first half or second half is as follows.
first half
1260 days Revelation 11:3, 12:6
second half
3 1/2 days Revelation 11:11
42 months Revelation 11:2, 13:5
time, times, half time Revelation 12:14, Daniel 7:25, Daniel 12:7
All of the time expressions given fit within the 7 year 70th week. Including the 1335 days, and the 1290 days.

day 1.....day 1185 (AoD).....1290 days to sixth seal event day 2475....day 2520.
The AoD will be setup 1335 days before Jesus returns. The setup day is on day 1185. Then from day 1185 going forward 1290 days, the sixth seal event will take place. Giving cause of the kings of the earth to assemble their armies to make war on Jesus.
From day 2475, they have a 45 day window to prepare and assemble their armies at Armageddon.
Jesus descends to earth on day 2520, and destroys those armies.
