"This then talks to the idea that the Ukrainians have good intel on such events, time sensitive events, and are able to hit those time sensitive locations pretty well with whatever they do."
Hello Team!
Jonathan provides an extra update on losses as he didn't have Andrew Perpetua's loss statistics for his earlier hits and losses video. He notes there is no change to the front lines in the last 24 hours according to Andrew's map. Jonathan encourages viewers to support Andrew's work if they are able.

Attack on Melitopol Headquarters
- During a meeting of FSB and Rosgvardia officers at their headquarters in Melitopol, Ukraine carried out an attack
- At least 3 Rosgvardia officers were killed, with reports of up to 15 occupiers eliminated
- The attack took place 50km from the city, deep in enemy rear, with missiles hitting the occupiers' HQ in a building of culture
- This suggests Ukraine has good intel on time-sensitive events and locations and can hit them effectively
Andrew Perpetua's Loss Statistics
- Andrew didn't publish his full list this morning as the losses were so lopsided, with 55 Russian losses to just 4 Ukrainian - a 14:1 ratio
- Ukrainian losses: 1 tank, 1 MRAP, 1 SUV, 1 piece of comm equipment
- Russian losses: 2 electronic warfare systems (R-330 Zhitel, Boreysk-Glebsk-2), tanks, many IFVs/APCs, trucks, and civilian vehicles co-opted for military use
- Most damage was from FPV and other drones, with some from HIMARS (tungsten rain) and unknown causes
- Andrew provides sources for destroyed vehicles so viewers can verify the imagery/videos
- The 55 evidenced losses suggest around half of all destroyed vehicles are being visually confirmed, so true losses could be double, with some bias towards FPV drone strikes being recorded
Wrap Up
Jonathan notes the huge number of Russian losses detailed supports the figures from the General Staff he discussed in the morning. He cautions that not all artillery strikes will be caught on camera compared to FPV drone strikes so the prevalence of drone destruction may be skewed. Jonathan hopes this extra information and detail was useful for the viewers.
