🪦 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
- 660 liquidated Russian personnel, a slight increase from recent days
- 6 tanks and 10 APCs lost, which is fairly high
- 18 artillery systems and 2 MLRS lost, continuing the trend of Russia losing many artillery pieces daily
- 18 drones, 16 vehicles/fuel tanks, and 5 pieces of special equipment lost, which is very significant
Hits in Occupied Territories
- Footage shown of a Ukrainian kamikaze drone hitting a Russian Murom-P surveillance station in occupied Kherson
- Large Russian base destroyed by Ukrainians in Hola Prystan near the Dnipro River
- Russian ultra-nationalist writer Zakhar Prilepin's car destroyed by an IED, killing his driver and wounding Prilepin. Jonathan previously featured Prilepin in a video about Russian propagandists using religion.
Activity in Crimea
- Russian air defences took down two Ukrainian Hrim-2 ballistic missiles in occupied Crimea
- Dzhankoi helicopter base in northern Crimea hit
- 10-12 Ukrainian drones attacked Crimea overnight, with hits reported in Yevpatoria, Sevastopol, Saky, and other locations. Damage unknown but Crimea is being consistently targeted.
- Russians hit Bilohorivka, site of previous failed Russian river crossings, with S-300 missiles, injuring 5
Other News
- Heavy Russian shelling of Nikopol and Marhanets
- 6 Ukrainian demining experts killed and 2 wounded by Russian shelling in Kherson, a major loss of expertise
- Fires continue in Russia, including at gunpowder warehouses in Sverdlovsk Oblast, forcing evacuation of 400 residents
Military Aid and Training
- Ukrainian troops with US-provided Bradley IFVs seen moving in Ukraine, likely dispersed among multiple brigades rather than concentrated
- Ukrainians training on British FV432 APCs purchased by volunteers; unknown if UK government-pledged Bulldogs have been delivered
- Ukrainian artillery and air defences adding anti-drone wire netting screens to vehicles
- US-provided vehicle-mounted APKWS ground attack and anti-drone laser-guided rocket launchers spotted with Ukrainian forces
Geopolitics and Economics
- Ukrainian colors prominently featured at coronation of King Charles III in apparent show of support; Putin not invited
- Moldova considering joining some EU countries in banning Ukrainian grain imports; Ukraine may retaliate, risking division between allies
- UK Defence Intelligence update highlights Russia's severe labor shortages due to demographic decline, emigration and mobilization, limiting economic growth potential
