Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine

ORYX ^ | Since February 24, 2022 and daily | ORYX

[SpeedyInTexas]

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

#RussiaIsCollapsing

Bashkortostan, Russia ❗

Briefly about the state of the country. Another day, another utilitly accident.

Today in Blagoveshchensk there was a major utility accident due to a pipe break 🌊💦💩 on Proletarskaya Street, as a result of which the road turned into a “ river ” of dark brown 💩 water.

This happened due to damage to one of the water lines that supplied water to local businesses. The water supply was temporarily stopped according to russian media.

Ukraine may have transferred the 3rd Assault Brigade to Avdiivka. This brigade was recently seen training on western equipment such as the Bradley M2A2 IFV. The day before yesterday information emerged that reinforcements had entered the area.

I believe this is why Zaluzhny was replaced.

Zelensky wants to continue fighting in Avdiivka. Zaluzhny wanted to withdraw.

It does appear that this is the first onboard footage released showing a US-supplied VAMPIRE SAM system in Ukrainian service downing a Russian Shahed with a laser-guided APKWS missile.

[ Russians Panic! Ukrainian Reinforcements Arrived to Storm The Northern Flank ]

==
Day 718: Feb 11

Today, there is a lot of news from the Avdiivka direction.

According to the latest updates, Ukrainians are preparing a comprehensive operation to unblock Ukrainian forces and push Russians back to their initial positions.

Ukrainian Avdiivka Military Administration Head stated that Russian forces are cutting off the Ukrainian main ground line of communication leading into Avdiivka in order to encircle the settlement.

Most prominent Russian sources claim that Russian forces hold positions roughly 700 meters from Ukraine’s main supply road. However, the area of fighting has increased significantly, with some sources claiming that Russians reached the industrial area.

The central part of Avdiivka can be split into two parts: north of the railways and south of the railways. When it comes to the area north of the railways, it seems like Russian forces still have not established total control over the fields and tree lines north of the quarry.

As you remember, after Russians advanced in the Ivushka area, Ukrainians withdrew from these positions to avoid potential encirclement. In principle, it would be beneficial for Russian forces to assume the empty ground and attack Ukrainians from the other side of the quarry.

However, according to Russian sources, Ukrainians anticipated such a development and spent several weeks mining the area prior to the withdrawal. These mines are stopping Russians from opening the second vector of attack.

Nonetheless, this doesn’t mean that the situation for Ukrainians is easy. Russian forces inside the bridgehead identified three main goals.

The first goal is to reach the southern part of the quarry. Given that this implies advancing block by block through the area with small houses, this is supposed to be the least difficult option. Even though some sources claim that Russians have already achieved it, in reality, the fights continue on the same streets.

That is why some analysts concluded that Russians may be just securing the flanks to advance toward their other targets.

The second goal of the Russian forces is to cross the rails and breach the Ukrainian defense in the industrial zone and truck station. So far, all Russian attempts to reach the industrial zone have been unsuccessful, and it remains under total Ukrainian control.

Some Russian and Ukrainian sources circulated information that Russians managed to reach the truck station; however, several hours ago, most prominent Russian sources denied these claims, possibly because these positions were lost in the aftermath of a Ukrainian counterattack.

The third goal of the Russian forces is to cross the rails and establish control over the small residential area to use it as a jump ramp for attacking the chemical plant. In this case, Russian sources claim that they managed to establish a small foothold in the area, while Ukrainian sources deny these claims.

The area south of the railways consists of industrial zones that are harder to attack than small houses. On top of that, the railways that are splitting this area into two halves serve as an obstacle as well.

However, despite failing to cut the main supply road physically, Russian forces established fire control over it. A Ukrainian fighter reported that Russian kamikaze drones are constantly in the sky, waiting for Ukrainian vehicles.

That is why Ukrainians switched to using an alternative road that connects Avdiivka to Severne. Russian analysts became concerned about the lack of panic and sudden retreats from the southern part of Avdiivka.

While some Russian sources started claiming that Ukrainians are preparing for a mass withdrawal, Russian soldiers who are actually fighting in Avdiivka reported that they did not observe any activity that would indicate that, and that they also have no hopes of taking the southern part without a fight.

Russian analysts concluded that it is very likely that Ukrainians are preparing for a counterattack.

A Ukrainian fighter from the 24th battalion stated that despite the critical situation, they were determined to fight because fighting in the fields would be significantly more difficult.

Several hours ago, Russian sources started circulating footage of the newly arrived Ukrainian troops to Avdiivka as a confirmation that Ukrainians are about to push back. The location of the forces, as well as the potential direction of the counterattack, is uncertain.

The most ideal development would be a successful counterattack from the north. This way, Ukrainians will completely slice off the Russian bridgehead or at least complicate logistics to the point where Russians will not be able to sustain such high pressure on the street.

A less ambitious plan would be to attack Russians along the northern bridgehead to force Russians
to overstretch their forces and run out of reserves. This would lead to forces regrouping, giving Ukrainians more time and opportunities to conduct counterattacks on the streets.

The last scenario would be to send these fresh troops right into Avdiivka and push Russians from the streets with brute force. However, concentrating a lot of troops in such a small area would lead to tremendous losses due to the constant Russian artillery and airstrikes, making the previous two options much more reasonable.

In the meantime, Ukrainians have built another defense line right behind Avdiivka. In fact, Ukrainians have built almost one thousand kilometers of defenses along the entire contact line.

In the new strategic update that I released just today, I have looked into all of them. I analyzed where Ukrainians think the next major Russian offensive will take place, how their defenses aim to stop it, and, in some cases, how they force Russians into death zones.

The UKR is now wiling to accept small tactical losses, while it prepares to integrate new systems using drones; the UKR is building a high production output drone army integrated with AI systems; UKR is building extensive 3 layered defense lines with anti-tank ditches, dragon’s teeth, and large mine fields.

Beware the Ides of March Rumors
—
Kremlin snuff box
https://t.me/s/kremlin_secrets

“Tanks will blockade the Kremlin, and the president will be given an honorable pension.”

We read Shoigu’s secret report on the “coup that threatens Russia.”

We wrote that Sergei Shoigu prepared a secret report to Vladimir Putin. In it, he accuses General Mikhail Teplinsky of preparing a military coup. We have reviewed this document and offer you the most important points contained in it.

Let us note right away: we have no other evidence of what was written, except for the opinions of Shoigu and several sources in the Ministry of Defense. But the document was prepared by the minister, so it certainly deserves attention.

Another important point. The report is written in a complex manner, with a large number of specific military terms. We retell it in a more understandable language, without distorting the essence in any way.

Shoigu claims that a coup in Russia could happen in March , before the presidential elections or even during the voting. The blow, he said, is being prepared in several directions. “Teplinsky is ready to immediately withdraw the troops of the Dnepr group from the front.

“They will have to make a quick forced march and take control of Dzhankoy, Simferopol, and a little later - Sevastopol and several other key cities. It is expected that the military in Crimea will massively go over to the side of the rebels,” the document says.

Another strike, according to Shoigu, could allegedly be directed towards Moscow. Tanks and other armored vehicles, as well as up to 20-25 thousand “military loyal to Teplinsky,” will have to go there.

They, the report states, are going to “blockade the Kremlin and major government buildings. And without bloodshed or with minimal resistance, take control of the situation in the capital and the country.”

The third direction of attack is Rostov-on-Don and the headquarters of the Southern Military District, “which at one time Prigozhin easily took control of.”

The document also states the following: “The rebels, taking advantage of the experience of bandits from the Wagner PMC, hope to easily realize their criminal plans.

“They expect that Vladimir Vladimirovich will resign himself to the will of the military and bloodlessly give up power. It is assumed that he will be left with one or two of his current residences and given a very good and honorable pension, with access to all benefits.

“After the military comes to power, decisions will be made to abandon the SVO in its current ineffective (according to many) form. It’s hard to say whether a more serious war will break out, or whether the rebels will sign peace agreements with the enemy.”

There are a number of other points in the document; in total, it takes up 12 pages. We will not publish it in full at the request of our sources.

It is interesting that Putin has not yet familiarized himself with the report. According to interlocutors at the Ministry of Defense, many around the President consider the document “nonsense and unscientific fiction.” And they don’t want Vladimir Vladimirovich to waste time reading it.

And those around General Teplinsky refused to comment on the report at all . “It’s high time for Shoigu to resign and become a writer. This will probably work out better for him than being Minister of Defense. According to our information, this resignation is not far off, so let him play around,” said a military man close to Mikhail Yuryevich.

Kremlin snuff box

“This year will be especially scary.” Erdogan ‘smelled blood’ and conveyed new threats to Putin regarding Crimea.

After the postponement of Vladimir Vladimirovich’s visit to Turkey, Erdogan intensified the struggle to gain control (at least temporarily) of Crimea.

“He no longer hesitates to threaten. Over the past week, four messages have arrived through diplomatic channels.

“One directly and most brazenly says: ‘Give us Crimea. The year has just begun, and you have already suffered huge losses there. If you don’t give it away, this year will be especially terrible. There will be a lot of blood, fire and sacrifices.’

“Can you imagine what a bastard this ‘respected partner’ of ours is?” - a high-ranking source in the Foreign Ministry complained to us.

Another confirmed this information and believes that “Erdogan smelled blood, saw our vulnerabilities in Crimea and became impudent.”

In the process of fighting for control of the peninsula, the Turkish President last year already made threats that serious problems awaited Crimea.

Unfortunately, those threats were confirmed, after which the enemy launched several devastating blows to our army in this region of Russia.

“Erdogan is really getting impudent. By refusing Vladimir Vladimirovich’s visit, we gave him a powerful signal: stop! If he doesn’t understand, there will be more serious actions,” our source in the Kremlin said about this.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, February 11, 2024

Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov reiterated on February 11 that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s February 8 interview with American media personality Tucker Carlson was aimed at justifying Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to an American audience.

Peskov claimed that Americans “traditionally know little” about foreign countries and that it was important for Putin to convey his “historical vision” to the United States.

Ukraine has unveiled a new electronic warfare system called Pokrova, designed to counter the threat of Iranian-designed Shahed drones used by Russia in its attacks.

The system relies on jamming and spoofing techniques to confuse the navigation systems of drones.

Pokrova overwhelms navigation systems with noise and generates fake signals, causing incorrect location readings.

Unlike traditional electronic warfare measures, Pokrova operates on a larger scale, presenting a technical challenge that requires a network of synchronized transmitters.

⚡️It is reported that a 🇺🇦 Ukrainian drone drops a grenade and destroys the Starlink terminal of the 🇷🇺 Russian military.

⚡️🇺🇦 Ukraine has up to 10 companies that produce UAVs capable of reaching 🇷🇺 Moscow and 🇷🇺 St. Petersburg, — Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Fedorov in an interview with Reuters.

"The category of long-range kamikaze drones is growing: 300, 500, 700 and 1000 kilometers. Two years ago, this category did not exist... at all."

These drones are very important.

They are the only munitions Ukraine can use to attack military and dual use infrastructure in ruzzia.

NATO weapons are restricted to use on Ukrainian soil.

I saw one report that Russia may have shot down a drone or cruise missile. I have not seen anything about a Russian aircraft being shot down. However, sometimes rumors come true.
