"What you have here is unity. What you have here is people working towards a common goal and a common enemy... you don't break their spirit, you actually bring them together and bring them together in a collective disgust at the nation that is perpetrating these things."
Hello Team!
Jonathan provides an update on the Russia-Ukraine war for July 25, 2023. The video is split into two parts due to YouTube restrictions on showing footage of tanks being hit.

Russian Losses
- Ukrainian General Staff figures show significant Russian losses in the last day, including:
- 600 liquidated personnel
- 12 tanks, 13 APVs (a significant number)
- 30 artillery systems, 1 MLRS
- 2 anti-aircraft warfare systems
- 14 drones, 12 vehicles/fuel tanks, 5 pieces of special equipment
- Losses around Bakhmut direction are described as "astronomical" by Ukrainian forces
- A huge Russian repair facility in Novozhdepevo was hit, potentially destroying hundreds of vehicles in a chain reaction due to unsafe storage practices (according to Trent Telenko)
- A Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter was shot down in the east with crew lost
Oryx Visually Confirmed Losses
- Oryx compiled list of visually confirmed losses for both sides
- Russians and Ukrainians each lost 43 pieces of equipment
- Disparity between Oryx data and Ukrainian General Staff figures, particularly for artillery
- Reasons could include: lack of video footage, Ukrainian MOD not releasing all data, overwhelmed Oryx team
- Oryx data likely undercounts actual losses, especially for Ukraine
- Certain equipment like aircraft behind enemy lines harder to visually confirm
Ukrainian Strikes and Advances
- Ukraine destroying high-value Russian targets:
- Electronic warfare systems (Triada, LIA-2) in Bakhmut sector
- Artillery, armoured vehicles also hit
- 6 air defence systems destroyed in Kherson region
- Storm Shadow missiles launched from Su-24 bombers hitting targets in temporarily occupied Crimea
- Ammunition warehouse in Yenni Sezloy, airstrip, and repair base in Novostepivka
- Drones used to "soak up" Russian air defences before Storm Shadow strikes
- Advances and successes reported across front lines, particularly in the south and around Bakhmut
- Cluster munitions from US potentially aiding Ukrainian progress by clearing out trenches
Russian Missile Stocks and Attacks
- Estimated Russian long-range missile stocks remaining (according to Ukraine):
- 50 of 53 Kinzhal
- 95 of 800 Iskander-M
- Low numbers of Kalibr and Kh-22 anti-ship missiles
- Russia cannot fully deplete stocks due to need for strategic reserves in case of NATO conflict
- Increased use of anti-ship missiles like Onyx against land targets, a sign of low missile stocks and effectiveness of Ukrainian air defences
- Drone and missile attacks on Zhytomyr Oblast and Kyiv (shot down), infrastructure hit in Izmail, Tokmak
- Large fire at depot/barracks in Makiivka, Donetsk after reported HIMARS strike
Miscellaneous Updates
- Ukraine will inform Pentagon about consequences of cluster munitions use
- Another high-ranking Russian officer, Yevgeny Vashunin (Commander of 129th Guards Motorised Rifle Regiment) killed in battle
- Russia claims it repelled marine drone attack on patrol ship Sergey Kotov 370km from Sevastopol, but closed shipping lanes, suggesting ship was damaged
- Poland creating new engineering battalion on Belarus border equipped with Baobab-K mining systems capable of rapidly laying large minefields
- Full traffic still not restored on Crimean Bridge after attacks, slowing Russian logistics
- Budanov advises Russians to avoid using the Crimean Bridge
Unity of Odesa People
- Despite enduring terrible missile attacks, the people of Odesa work hard to help their city
- Bombing of cities does not break civilian spirit but instead unites them against the perpetrator (e.g. "Blitz spirit" in London)
- Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities are uniting Ukrainians and increasing hatred towards Russia/Putin
