A-50 Radar Plane Damage
- Belarusian partisan group Bypol claimed to have damaged a Russian A-50 radar plane
- The plane has supposedly been flown to Taganrog for repairs
- Drone footage shows a reconnaissance drone landing on the A-50 before the alleged attack
- This suggests that the plane was vulnerable to drone attacks due to a lack of active electronic warfare and air defence systems
Russian Army's Conscript Labour and Logistics
- The Russian army relies on conscript labour for logistics, which is less efficient than modern mechanised logistics
- Ammunition depots are left out in the open, making them vulnerable to drone attacks
- This reflects the institutional, organisational, and cultural values of the Russian army, which exploits conscript labour
- Western military intelligence has historically overestimated Russian military power
Incredible Footage of Ukrainian Soldier in Trench
- Footage shows a Ukrainian soldier calmly defending a trench under heavy fire from an IFV and mortars
- The soldier continues fighting despite numerous close calls and explosions around him
- This highlights the bravery and resilience of Ukrainian soldiers
Ballistic Vest Saves Ukrainian Soldier's Life
- A large calibre round was found lodged in a Ukrainian soldier's ballistic vest
- This demonstrates the importance of quality equipment in saving lives on the battlefield
Tank Battle in Vuklada
- The New York Times reported on a three-week tank battle in Vuklada, southern Ukraine
- It was the biggest tank battle of the war so far and resulted in a setback for the Russians
- Ukraine used mines, artillery, and anti-tank missiles to destroy at least 130 Russian tanks and armoured vehicles
- Ukrainian soldiers employed ambush tactics, luring Russian tanks onto mined roads
- The battle highlighted the lack of experienced tank commanders on the Russian side
Kharkovka Dam and Reservoir
- The water level in the Kharkovka Reservoir is at its lowest point in 30 years
- Russian forces control the dam and have deliberately opened sluice gates, allowing water to drain
- The reservoir is essential for supplying water to agricultural land in southern Ukraine and Crimea
- Lowering the water level could cause nuclear, agricultural, and fresh water problems, primarily affecting Russian-controlled areas
- The motivations behind Russia's actions remain unclear
Russian Propaganda: T-14 Armata Tank Production
- Russian media claimed that T-14 Armata tanks were being assembled alongside T-90s and BMPTs
- However, the T-14 shown in the factory photos has been in the same position since 2020
- This suggests that the tank has been stored for three years and not completed due to a lack of parts or funding
- The images are an example of Russian propaganda attempting to mislead the public
Casualty Rates and Comparisons
- Various estimates put the ratio of Ukrainian to Russian casualties between 1.46 and 2 times
- The key difference will be Ukraine's ability to regenerate losses through medical care and fresh battalions being trained abroad
- Both armies have seen their pre-war forces depleted and are trying to form new armies for the 2023 campaign
- The collapse of Russian artillery logistics could further impact their losses and regeneration potential
Russia's FSB Frames Estonian Prisoner as Spy
- The Russian FSB claimed to have captured an Estonian spy named Dan Danilov in June 2022
- However, Danilov was actually a convicted thief and former heroin trafficker who was in an Estonian jail at the time
- The FSB had arrested Danilov a year earlier and extradited him to Estonia in April 2022
- It appears the FSB forced a confession from Danilov while he was in their custody and later used it for propaganda purposes
- Although the case seems unprofessional, it serves the FSB's goals of creating a climate of fear and portraying Estonia as an enemy
