🪦 DISCLAIMER FOR GENERAL STAFF LOSSES DATA
- These are real people with real lives and real families who love them. Don’t let the numbers sap your humanity.
- These numbers probably aren’t accurate but they’re the best we have and we don’t need them to be accurate to be indicative of patterns of activity.
- All losses are estimates. Losses cannot be counted with accuracy because of the conditions on the ground.
- Both sides would see it to be of their advantage to minimize their own losses maximize the other side’s losses.
- Neither side releases their losses but we have enough transparency from the Ukrainian side to have confidence in they are indicative.
- Personnel losses are hard to count. If a soldier gets injured, heals up, and returns to the front line only to get injured again, is that one loss or two? Also, how to deal with losses from PMC’s or soldiers fighting with RF from occupied territories?
- Equipment losses are hard to count. If an AA complex involves several parts and one part gets disabled, is that a loss, or a fraction of a loss? If a tank gets disabled, repaired, back into the fight, then disabled again, is that one lost tank or two?
- All recorded losses are vulnerable to multiple reporting. We have already seen numerous cases of multiple drones in the air reporting the same loss from different angles as multiple engagements.
- Losses are not always reported on the same day they occurred. It is frequent that drone losses are reported at least 24 hours after other terrestrial equipment losses. Certain losses may not be reported for days or weeks for military intelligence reasons.
Russian Naval Vessel Ivanovets Sunk by Ukrainian USV Drones in the Black Sea
🎦 00:18-02:16⏩
- Ukraine has successfully sunk another Russian naval vessel, the Ivanovets, in the Black Sea.
- The GUR (Ukrainian military intelligence) released footage of the attack, showing Ukrainian naval drones hitting the Russian missile boat.
- The Ivanovets, a Project 1241 Molniya-class corvette, suffered irreparable damage and sank after being hit in the stern.
- This is a significant blow to the already depleted Russian Black Sea Fleet, which has lost over 20 vessels since the invasion began.
Analysis of Drone Attack Footage
🎦 02:16-05:28⏩
- Jonathan analyses the footage, noting that the Russians were aware of the incoming drones but were unable to defend against the multi-pronged attack.
- He points out the intensity of the explosions and the significant damage inflicted on the Ivanovets's hull.
- Jonathan speculates that Ukraine may have used a swarm of three or four USVs (unmanned surface vehicles), possibly the latest iteration of the "Sea Baby" drone.
- He highlights the effectiveness of overwhelming a ship's defences with multiple drone attacks, making it difficult to intercept them all.
Strategic and Psychological Impact of the Sinking
🎦 05:28-08:07⏩
- Beyond the loss of the ship itself (valued at $60-70 million), Jonathan discusses the broader implications of the sinking.
- He believes the loss of skilled sailors, expertise, and the difficulty in replacing the vessel further weakens Russia's naval capabilities.
- The incident is also a major propaganda blow for Russia and likely fuels anger among its citizens.
- Jonathan questions whether this will push Russia towards seeking vengeance or, hopefully, a quicker end to the war.
- He contrasts this successful Ukrainian operation with the ongoing debate about Western military aid, arguing that Ukraine has consistently demonstrated its ability to effectively utilise the equipment it receives.
- Jonathan reiterates his belief that providing Ukraine with greater quantities of advanced weaponry would enable a swift end to the conflict.
