Hello Team!
Jonathan provides the latest Ukrainian general staff figures for Russian losses, noting a drop in personnel losses despite intense fighting in Robotina. He speculates this could be due to a lack of activity in other areas as forces are concentrated in Robotina. Artillery systems and vehicles/fuel tanks continue to be a focus for Ukrainian attacks to degrade Russian capabilities.

Equipment Losses
Andrew Perpetua's data on Russian equipment losses over the last 24 hours shows a range of items hit, including a notable number of T-90 tanks. Jonathan suggests this indicates Russia is running low on tanks and having to use their more valued equipment. Ukrainian losses were minimal apart from a number of boats. Jonathan emphasises the bravery required by both sides to carry out missions in the face of drone threats.

Friendly Fire Incident
A Russian Su-35 fighter jet was reportedly shot down by Russian anti-aircraft defence near Tokmak, with the likely loss of the pilot. Jonathan highlights the significance of losing the expertise of the pilot, beyond just the aircraft itself.

Strikes on Storage Facilities
Both Russian and Ukrainian storage facilities and industrial sites were targeted, including:
- A Ukrainian storage site in Bodenivka (Kirovohrad region)
- The Avdiivka Coke Chemical Plant in Ukraine hit by Russian aerial bombs
- A Shahed drone factory in Iran, possibly struck by Israel in a move that aligns with Ukrainian interests
Other News
- A large fire was reported in Kerch, Crimea near the bridge. It is unclear if this was a targeted attack or a grass fire.
- Russian airports were paralysed by a cyber attack, likely a DDoS attack from abroad.
- The health of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov is in question, with videos suggesting he is quite ill even if not dead as rumoured.
Analysis of Scott Ritter's Claims
Jonathan examines the past predictions of Scott Ritter, an American commentator perceived as pro-Russian. Ritter claimed back in August that Ukraine would lose the war imminently, but his predictions have consistently failed to materialise. Jonathan cautions against believing such voices and emphasises the need to hold them accountable based on their track records.
