🪦 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 figures for Russian losses on 10 May: 610 personnel, 4 tanks, 12 APCs, 14 artillery systems, 2 MLRS, 2 anti-aircraft warfare systems, 3 drones, 10 vehicles/fuel tanks, 2 pieces of special equipment
- 12 APCs lost is significant; if this continues daily it will be difficult for Russia
- Footage shows the "White Wolf" SSO unit destroying multiple Russian equipment over 2 days
- Drones are becoming more effective, using stronger IEDs like thermobaric munitions
- A Stugna-P ATGM strike on Russian troops illustrates how heavy personnel losses can occur
- Oryx's visually confirmed losses over 4 days worse for Ukraine (53) than Russia (46), but includes 10 S-300 launchers from early in the war
Overnight Attacks
- Kursk region, Russia: 5 arrivals at a power substation causing electricity supply problems
- Belgorod region, Russia: 2 drone explosions
- Attacks on Russian territory disrupt logistics and fix air defense systems in place
- Luhansk, Ukraine: Alleged HIMARS strike on residential building in Kadivka, likely housing soldiers
- Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine: Massive shelling with cluster and phosphorus shells; 5 buildings on fire, 6 damaged, 5 injured including 2 medics, 2 ambulances damaged
- Sverdlovsk region, Russia: Hundreds of towns covered in smoke from wildfires; 4th oblast to declare emergency, with arrests made for alleged arson
Geopolitics
- Zelensky says Ukraine needs more time for counter-offensive, waiting for armoured vehicles; could be truthful or deception
- Taiwan leaders disagree with some US Republicans wanting to scale back Ukraine aid to prioritize Taiwan; a Ukrainian victory is the best way to help Taiwan by deterring China
- Trump claims he would settle Ukraine war in 24 hours but avoids saying if he wants Ukraine to win, instead deflecting to Europe needing to pay more
- UK prescribing Wagner Group as terrorists will help Ukrainians sue for damages, with potential to claim £5 billion from sanctioned Russian assets for 180,000 refugees
