Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine (2 year anniversary)
ORYX ^ | Since February 24, 2022 and daily | ORYX

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.

“the United States approved the sale of 3,350 Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) air-launched missiles to Ukraine and reported that the systems will arrive in Ukraine in six weeks (about mid-October 2025).”

Another month for OPEC+ to ramp up production further, before Russian oil is pulled off the market.

Hundreds of ERAMs, plus secondary freeze damage, can impose an epic train wreck for Russian oil exports and domestic fuel supplies. Russia has little surplus capacity available to buffer such kinetic damage.

Their Center of Gravity is Strategically vulnerable.

"Their Center of Gravity is Strategically vulnerable."

The cards being played right now are Ukraine building Flamingo cruise missiles. receiving longer ranged and more capable cruise missiles and hitting Russian energy production harder. OPEC is sweetening the deal for India to move away from Russian energy.

It is really easy to see that next moves are for Ukraine to go all in on attacking Russian energy production and India to cut Russian energy purchases as much as possible. This is all moving forward and getting press right after Putin walks back from the Alaska meeting.

Almost as if it was Trump's plan all along to end the war or sink the Russian economy. Not that the MSM will give Trump any credit for it.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, August 25, 2025

Ukrainian forces continue to pressure the Russian penetration east and northeast of Dobropillya. Ukrainian military observer Kostyantyn Mashovets reported on August 25 that Ukrainian forces seized Nove Shakhove (east of Dobropillya) and Zapovidne (southeast of Dobropillya and the western bound of the base of the Russian penetration).[1] Mashovets stated that Ukrainian forces pushed out Russian forces from positions near the T-0514 Dobropillya-Kramatorsk highway and south of Vesele (northeast of Dobropillya). Mashovets added that Ukrainian forces have almost completely cleared Kucheriv Yar (east of Dobropillya). Mashovets’ August 25 report follows reports from Ukrainian military officials since August 15 that Ukrainian forces continue to clear settlements at both the northern extent of the Russian penetration and along the base of the penetration.[2] Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief General Oleksandr Syrskyi stated on August 24 that Ukrainian forces had seized Volodymyrivka, (southeast of Dobropillya and the eastern bound of the base of the Russian penetration), and Ukrainian advances along the western and eastern bases of the penetration indicate that Russian forces are failing to expand the width of the penetration to the extent necessary to sustain the depth of the penetration.[3] Mashovets reported on August 25 that these Ukrainian counterattacks threatened to encircle elements of the Russian 51st Combined Arms Army ([CAA], formerly 1st Donetsk People's Republic Army Corps [DNR AC], Southern Military District [SMD]) operating within the penetration north of the Zapovidne-Mayak-Volodymyrivka line.[4] Mashovets reported that the command of the 51st CAA created an assault group that aimed to break through Ukrainian forces and reach the Russian forces within the penetration. Mashovets added that elements of the 1st Motorized Rifle Brigade (51st CAA) had regrouped and attempted to defend against Ukrainian counterattacks at the western part of the base near Zapovidne. Mashovets had reported on August 18 that elements of the Russian 8th CAA (SMD) had been attempting to outflank and threaten Ukrainian forces counterattacking at the eastern part of the base near Volodymyrivka.[5] These various recent reports of Ukrainian advances in the area, coupled with the lack of reporting about Russian advances or successful reinforcement missions within the penetration, indicate that the efforts of both the 51st CAA and 8th CAA to defend the base of the penetration may have failed at this time.

The Russian military command has reportedly given up efforts to exploit the penetration toward Dobropillya, after Russia's infiltration tactics appear to have been unsuccessful in establishing enduring positions within this penetration. Mashovets stated on August 25 that the command of the 51st CAA is now preparing for assaults directly against Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad (east of Pokrovsk), indicating that the 51st CAA has reverted back to its original plan following a brief shift in focus on exploiting the penetration northeast of Dobropillya.[6] Mashovets’ report and the recent Ukrainian advances within the penetration indicate that Russian forces likely have not established enduring positions within the salient. Russian milbloggers’ reporting about the penetration near Dobropillya has also significantly decreased in recent days and shifted back to focusing on activity north, east, and southwest of Pokrovsk instead — further suggesting that Russian forces have been unsuccessful in consolidating and exploiting the penetration and are shifting their focus back on Pokrovsk directly. Russian milbloggers have warned in the past week that the penetration near Dobropillya was too narrow relative to its depth, creating vulnerabilities to Ukrainian counterattacks and interdiction.[7] Russian milbloggers also previously warned that Russian forces had to widen the penetration's flanks to sustain the penetration, which Russian forces have failed to do so far.[8] ISW previously assessed that Russian infiltration tactics and a low manpower density along the front in the Pokrovsk direction seemed to have allowed Russian forces to temporarily restore limited, tactical maneuver east and southeast of Dobropillya, but Russia's inability to establish logistics to support and reinforce the forward units operating within the penetration have degraded Russia's ability to widen and exploit the penetration.[9]

Russian authorities recently detained Acting Kursk Oblast Vice Governor Vladimir Bazarov, likely as part of the Kremlin's continued efforts to scapegoat local officials for Russian border security failures. Acting Kursk Oblast Governor Alexander Khinshtein told Kremlin newswire TASS on August 25 that Russian law enforcement detained Bazarov as part of a larger criminal case investigating the embezzlement of funds that Russian authorities previously allocated for the construction of defensive fortifications in the Belgorod Oblast border areas during Bazarov’s tenure in the Belgorod Oblast administration.[16] Khinshtein claimed that Bazarov embezzled one billion rubles (roughly $12.4 million) of these funds.[17] Russian authorities previously detained former Kursk Oblast Governor Alexei Smirnov, former Bryansk Oblast Vice Governor Nikolai Simonenko, and former Belgorod Oblast Vice Governor Rustem Zainullin on similar embezzlement charges.[18] Russian President Vladimir Putin also notably dismissed Russian Minister of Transport and former Kursk Oblast Governor Roman Starovoit on July 7, just prior to Starovoit’s reported suicide on July 7.[19] ISW continues to assess that these arrests and personnel changes are part of a concerted Kremlin effort to use border oblast officials as scapegoats for Russia's failure to repel the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast in August 2024.[20] The Kremlin is likely also trying to scapegoat local officials for Russia's failure to repel Ukrainian cross-border raids into Belgorod Oblast in 2023 and 2024.[21]

Ukraine's Western partners continue to provide military aid to Ukraine, including through the purchase of US weapons and joint production ventures. German Vice Chancellor and Minister of Finance Lars Klingbeil announced on August 25 that Germany will allocate nine billion euros (roughly $10 billion) to Ukraine annually for the next two years.[22] NATO announced on August 24 that Canada will finance a $500 million aid package to purchase US military equipment for Ukraine through the Prioritized Ukrainian Requirements List (PURL) initiative.[23] Ukrainian Minister of Defense Denys Shmyhal announced on August 24 that Ukraine and Canada signed a joint defense production agreement that will simplify the establishment of Ukrainian defense industrial companies in Canada, facilitate technology exchanges, and help provide Ukrainian forces with modern weapons and military equipment in the long term.[24] Shmyhal and Lithuanian Defense Minister Laurynas Kasciunas similarly signed a letter of intent on August 25 on the joint production of defense products in both countries, with an emphasis on the joint production of long-range drones.[25]

Strange things are happening around mobilization and demobilization. What will happen in the fall?

Our sources among the military and in the Kremlin provided interesting information about mobilization and partial demobilization. At the same time, individual insiders contradict each other, which means that there is no clarity in these issues yet.

Firstly, Valery Gerasimov once again stated that around September 15-20, Vladimir Putin will announce a new serious mobilization. And he claims that he received such information personally from the president. The Ministry of Defense did not confirm the exact dates, but notes that “they are carrying out certain measures in order to be ready for mobilization, just in case.”

Secondly, the Kremlin does not confirm the dates named by Gerasimov. And they note that no decisions on mobilization have been made at the moment. Whether there will be such decisions, the interlocutors in the Presidential Administration refuse to say.

Thirdly, we managed to find out new data on the possible partial demobilization. Back in mid-August, the Kremlin said that clarity on this issue “will be in the next few days.” But since then, no additional information has been provided.

“We made a statement about clarity the other day before the visit of Vladimir Vladimirovich to Alaska. But after him, everything became even more confused. At the same time, I personally expect partial demobilization, it will affect those who were mobilized in 2022. Expect positive news in October,” our source in the Presidential Administration said. We asked for more specifics, but he refused to provide it. At the same time, he assured that “everything will be fine.” The fact that partial demobilization is possible in the fall is also evidenced by the fact that comprehensive preparations are underway for the return of several tens of thousands of veterans of the NWO from the army. We wrote about it in detail in July.

Russian forces continue using Kherson region residents as “training targets” for drone strikes. This time, a Russian drone dropped a grenade on a man walking with his dog. The cruelty of these attacks speaks for itself.

Ukrainian drone strikes on ten Russian oil refineries have disabled at least 17% of the refining capacity of the aggressor country.

Reuters reported on this. They calculated that this figure is approximately 1.1 million barrels per day. According to Reuters, these attacks have disrupted Moscow's oil refining and exports, caused gasoline shortages in some parts of Russia, and were a response to strikes on Ukraine's gas and energy infrastructure.

North Korea Tests New Air Defense Missiles Amid Russian Cooperation

North Korea has tested two new types of surface-to-air missiles for its air defense systems amid growing military cooperation with Russia, state news agency KCNA reported. The launches took place on August 23rd at a missile test range in North Korea. According to KCNA, the missiles were fired at various targets, including strike drones and cruise missiles, to verify their stated capabilities. KCNA did not provide technical details, but analysts say the upgrades may have been made possible through military-technical cooperation with Moscow.

Since signing a Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, Russia has transferred Pantsir-S1 air defense systems to Pyongyang to strengthen defenses around the capital. Russian systems have also been spotted on North Korea's newest missile destroyer, including the naval version of the Pantsir-S1.

Kyrylo Budanov, head of Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, has said Russia had provided technical support to improve the KN-23 ballistic missile, having reduced its margin of error, having significantly boosted accuracy and effectiveness. Budanov also said Moscow planned to help North Korea establish production of long-range Shahed-136 kamikaze drones of Iranian origin, as well as the local versions of Garpiya and Geran-2 drones.

Militarnyi previously reported that Pyongyang had supplied Russia with ammunition, weapons and other military aid worth tens of billions of dollars. Most of the revenue (about $19.2 billion) came from artillery shells of 122 mm and 152 mm caliber, multiple rocket launchers, Bulsae-4 anti-tank missiles and KN-23 ballistic missiles.

Russia plans withdrawal from European Convention preventing torture.

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin on Aug. 25 signed a resolution calling for Moscow to withdraw from the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture. Despite Russia remaining a signatory to the convention, Russian war crimes and the torture of Ukrainian civilians and troops have been repeatedly documented. The resolution calls for Russian President Vladimir Putin to withdraw Russia from the decades-old agreement.

Ukrainian Journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna disappeared in August 2023 and died in the fall of 2024 after being tortured in Russian captivity. Roschyna’s body was returned to Ukraine in February with missing organs.

Iran: Russia reportedly introduced a draft resolution to extend the snapback mechanism deadline, according to unspecified informed sources speaking to UK-based Amwaj Media on August 25.[18] The informed sources stated that China will reportedly co-sponsor the draft resolution.[19] The draft resolution would extend the snapback deadline by six months until April 2026 and reportedly prevent the E3 from being able to trigger the snapback mechanism during the six-month extension period.[20] Iran previously rejected an offer by the E3 to extend the snapback deadline, so it is unclear whether Iran will support the Russian draft proposal.[21] This report comes after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Iranian Foreign Affairs Minister Abbas Araghchi held separate phone calls with their Russian counterparts, President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov, respectively, to discuss, among other issues, potential snapback sanctions.[22] Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi called Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu on August 24 to discuss a diplomatic resolution to the nuclear issue.[23]

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak, following a meeting on the situation in the fuel market, instructed the Ministry of Energy to monitor the situation in the oil products market to reliably provide the domestic market with fuel and maintain a balance of prices in the retail segment, the press service of the government reported.

The Ministry of Economic Development was instructed to analyze the parameters affecting the formation of retail prices for fuel. “Currently, there is a ban on the export of gasoline for all market participants, which will be extended,” the statement said.
