🪦 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 Losses
- Ukrainian General Staff reports high Russian losses for the previous day: 820 personnel, 15 tanks, 18 APVs, 58 artillery systems, 2 MLRS, 2 anti-aircraft systems, 1 aircraft, 26 drones, 1 cruise missile, 47 vehicles/fuel tanks, 2 special equipment
- 58 artillery pieces is a phenomenally high number. Even taking 30% off, it's still a horrific day for Russia.
- Andrew Perpetua's stats show a 2.5:1 ratio of Russian to Ukrainian losses
Civilian Attacks
- Andrew Perpetua is upset that mainstream media is not reporting enough on Russian attacks on civilians and infrastructure, which are war crimes
- Examples: Kherson hospital shelled killing 2 people waiting outside, car targeted while driving to/from hospital appointment killing grandfather and severely injuring mother and baby, Kherson library hit
- Jonathan criticizes Elon Musk for suggesting Ukraine should just negotiate while Russia commits these atrocities
Avdiivka
- Russian Su-25 destroyed near Avdiivka, caught on camera. 8 Su-25s lost since offensive began.
- Over 20 destroyed Russian armored vehicles seen west of Avdiivka near Vodyane
- Zelensky reveals Russia faces heavier losses in Avdiivka than Bakhmut previously, impacting their strategic position
- 93rd Mechanized Brigade destroyed Russian forces trying to attack near Klishchiivka before reaching their intended positions
Strikes and Shelling
- Arson at a military registration and enlistment office in Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia. Man arrested.
- Not much reported on long-distance strikes. Possible cruise missile or drone attack on Kryvyi Rih.
- Russia launched missile attack on Snihurivka, Donetsk, destroying entrance of residential building. At least 1 killed, 1 trapped under rubble.
- Ukrainian strikes reported on Tokmak as usual
Wagner Group
- Wagner acting as disciplinarians and blocking forces to enforce "meat assaults", spotted on Dnipro River line
- Video shows them disciplining Russian soldiers for taking drugs in combat
- Though portrayed as elite, Wagner's Bakhmut success relied on penal battalions they controlled to grind down Ukrainian forces
- Russian MoD may be using Wagner to replicate "miracle of Bakhmut" across the front lines
Other News
- Video shows Russian Su-34 dropping FAB-500 glide bomb 50km behind front lines. Ukraine lacks air defenses to counter them that far forward.
- Unconfirmed reports of Russia using chemical weapons (likely chloropicrin) in Avdiivka and Bakhmut. Jonathan suspects projection - Russia accuses Ukraine of what they themselves are doing.
