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

Posted on 02/24/2024 5:59:01 AM PST by 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.

Euros got ‘migrants’ to care for, paid vacations and free healthcare. Shells are down the list, since they can always ‘work something out’ with the Russians, should they breakthrough.

“Ukrainian attacks on supply lines slowed Russians in Kharkiv, intercepts show”

“KHARKIV REGION, Ukraine — Ukrainian attacks on Russian supply lines have left Russian units scrambling for food, water and ammunition, blunting Moscow’s renewed invasion into Ukraine’s northeast Kharkiv region, according to Ukrainian field commanders who shared radio and phone intercepts and results of their interrogations of Russian prisoners of war.

The intercepts and extensive interviews with 10 Ukrainian commanders and troops operating across the front line in Kharkiv — including several who monitor Russian communications and who question POWs immediately after they are captured — paint a picture of increasingly desperate Russian ground troops who are losing personnel and momentum after reinvading across the border in May.

In the transcript of one radio conversation, intercepted in June and shared with The Washington Post, a Russian soldier orders another to ensure incoming troops responsible for carrying supplies understand that there is a dire shortage of food and water.”

[ Tunnels of Terror: Russians Bypass Defenses and Attack! ]


Today [ July 7 ], there is a lot of news from the Bakhmut direction.

The most interesting updates come from the area of Chasiv Yar. Here, after months of intense clashes, the repeated series of Russian frontal assaults finally brought results, leading to the takeover of the Kanal district. Such a significant gain came at a high cost in armored vehicles for the Russian forces, leading to improvised, borderline suicidal methods of assault by motorcycles.

The primary reason for the increased Russian focus on the Kanal district of Chasiv Yar is their lack of success on the town’s northern and southern flanks. These assaults yielded minimal results and often necessitated the withdrawal of specific units for replenishment.

Consequently, most combat-ready units, heavy equipment, and air support were concentrated in the Kanal District, as it was the only area where the Russians had established a foothold and could make progress.

Once taken, the high-rise buildings in the area would provide Russian fighters with powerful firing positions to suppress Ukrainian forces across the Kanal in the Novy district, which consists of only one-story houses. Such suppression of Ukrainian positions to the west of the town could, in principle, compromise Ukrainian defenses. This would enable Russian attacks on the canal crossings on the flanks to gain momentum and establish a foothold in the Novy district.

To achieve this, the Russians had to destroy Ukrainian firing positions with intense glide bomb strikes, augmented by artillery and TOS heavy thermobaric systems. These strikes gradually demolished large sections of the high-rise buildings, making them untenable for defense.

Certain entrances to buildings collapsed, and hallways and basements used for bomb shelters were buried in rubble. As a result of the intense bombing and shelling, Ukrainians had fewer defensive positions in the high-rises, allowing for a much smaller number of fighters to be stationed there.

This lengthy process enables the Russians to intensify their assaults with infantry and armored vehicles toward the Kanal district against weaker Ukrainian positions. Before each assault, the Russians typically deploy a small squad of infantry to detect Ukrainian firing positions, then call in artillery and thermobaric systems to target them.

These artillery strikes serve as the final stage of preparation for the Russian assault, aiming to disrupt Ukrainian communications and prevent reinforcements from arriving in the area.

While the shelling was still ongoing, the Russians deployed a group of infantrymen to take over the remaining section of the nearby industrial zone still under Ukrainian control. During these assaults, the Russian troops came under fire from Ukrainian AGS automatic grenade launchers, well concealed in nearby forests. Despite this, they managed to establish control over the remaining buildings in this part of the district.

Control of the industrial zone placed Ukrainian fighters in the remaining high-rises in greater danger of a flank attack from this newly secured area, in addition to the ongoing Russian strikes and shelling with artillery, aviation, and thermobaric systems. Consequently, the Ukrainian fighters in the area were forced to withdraw to the western side of the canal, leaving the area under complete Russian control.

The Russian command must overcome the canal and advance on its western bank. To achieve this, Russian forces will need to clear the remaining Ukrainian positions on the eastern bank, particularly in the forests near Kalinivka. Only by consolidating their control along the canal can the Russians begin planning their advance into the western part of the town.

Ukrainian fighters in the area reported that Russian troops have intensified their use of assault groups on motorcycles in an effort to advance, supported by intense artillery, air, and drone operations.

This shift in tactics is driven by two main factors:

Firstly, the Russians are suffering heavy losses among the armored vehicles intended for infantry transport so they are improvising with motorcycles as a temporary solution until they can replenish their losses.

Secondly, Russian infantry Squad commanders are seeking a faster and more flexible means of transportation for their troops.

Until now these soldiers have been moving on foot which makes them highly vulnerable to Ukrainian drone and cluster munition strikes.

By using motorcycles the Russian commanders hope to increase mobility and reduce exposure to these threats, thereby minimizing losses and improving their effectiveness in the area. In many combat videos published by Ukrainian fighters it is evident that the use of motorcycles does not offer significant advantages for the Russians, when facing experienced drone operators.

In one such video from the area, an inexperienced Russian soldier is seen abandoning his motorcycle as soon as he spots a drone overhead. In his panic, he drops his rifle and flees, while the motorcycle is subsequently destroyed by drone dropped grenades.

Overall, the Russians have exhausted their forces after months-long assaults on the Kanal District, forcing them to improvise using motorcycles for troop transport instead of armored vehicles.

This lack of readiness for further operations gives Ukrainians the time and space to organize their defenses and prepare for the second phase of the battle for Chasiv Yar. As such the loss of the canal district is neither critical nor unexpected, as it is located on the Russia controlled side of the canal.

The main idea behind holding it was to use the high rises to inflict as many losses as possible and leave Russians not intact, but completely demolished positions.

The second phase of the battle for Chasiv Yar is expected to be even more deadly for the Russians, as Ukrainians have established continuous lines of fortifications right on top of the Western Bank of the canal which can only be attack with pure infantry.

Kremlin snuff box, 07/08/24
https://t.me/s/kremlin_secrets

“The threat of our direct war with NATO has increased”

This opinion was expressed in a conversation with us by a general close to Valery Gerasimov.

“Today we delivered a successful blow to Kiev. I think those who organized it and carried it out will be rewarded. A truly successful strike ( by the way, sources in the Ministry of Defense also said that our rocket men began to beat the enemy better [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4342 ] after they brought the relics of the Holy Matrona of Moscow to a number of military installations [ part of Russia’s “Back to The Middle Ages” movement ]). But there is a threat that after this strike the crests will receive missiles from NATO that will reach Moscow. And then everything will be very unpredictable,” he believes.

According to the military man, “to be honest, we are counting on the Americans and their allies to chicken out [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4156 ]. Because we are not very ready to fight with NATO right now, there may be problems. Very big problems. There may be a situation where we simply won’t respond to attacks on a hypothetical Moscow, and that’s a shame.”

To our question about why he was telling all this, the military man replied: “There is a war going on, and our society is very relaxed. This relaxation can play a cruel joke on us. We need to prepare.”

By the way, sources close to Sergei Sobyanin confirmed the information that we published last week [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4314 ]. They are confident that Moscow’s air defense system will protect the capital “from any or almost any shelling.”

We must say an important thing. We support the shelling of Kyiv; the enemy should not feel calm anywhere. But there is an unpleasant point that needs to be mentioned for the sake of fairness.

Back in early January, after one of the attacks on Kiev, we warned [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/3373 ]that after this the enemy might be allowed to shoot deep into Russian territory with Western weapons. As a result, NATO made a corresponding decision [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4176 ], although it had been thinking about it for some time.

Why are we writing this? Just so that our subscribers take care of their safety just in case. At a minimum, they found a bomb shelter closest to home or thought about where they could spend a week or two in case of a possible escalation of hostilities and shelling.

Take care of yourself, friends! We can only defeat the enemy together!

It does seem that Russia was more successful penetrating Ukrainian Air Defenses in this attack (8 July).

Something to analyze.

I believe that this was the first of two big waves on 8July 2024.

Kyiv Independent reports:

“Ukrainian forces downed 30 of the 38 Russian missiles launched during a large-scale attack against multiple cities on the morning of July 8, the Air Force said.

In total, Russian forces launched one Kinzhal ballistic missile, four Iskander-M ballistic missiles, one 3M22 Zirkon hypersonic cruise missile, 13 Kh-101 cruise missiles, 14 Kalibr cruise missiles, two Kh-22 cruise missiles, and three Kh-59/69 guided aerial missiles, according to the statement.

Ukrainian defenses reportedly shot down the Kinzhal missile, three Iskanders, 11 Kh-101s, 12 Kalibrs, and three Kh-59/69s.

Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, and other cities across Ukraine were hit, with at least 28 civilians killed and 112 injured as of 3 p.m. local time.

The strike took place on the eve of the NATO summit in Washington, where Ukraine hopes to receive long-term aid commitments from the allies. (Also as Indian PM Modi visited Moscow for the first time of the war)

The July 8 attack has been the deadliest in months, with the casualty figures comparable to massive strikes carried out by Russia during the winter.”

I guess RuZZian women will have to reproduce with muslim men from the Stans.

“Putin’s advisors “Boss we have a demographic and economic problem — our population is shrinking fast and people are having fewer babies and it will only get worse”. Putin “OK let’s start a war to get more land and send hundreds of thousands of reproductive age males to the slaughter. And oh yes, Medvedev can call on our women to have more babies. That should fix it””

Poland just signed its security agreement with Ukraine - it is likely stronger than most others, integrating some Air Defense, at least an additional MiG-29 squadron, and forming and training a new Ukrainian Legion in Poland.

Some highlights (from Kyiv Independent):

President Volodymyr Zelensky and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk signed a security agreement on July 8 in Warsaw.

Poland is the latest country to sign such an agreement with Ukraine based on a pledge made by the Group of Seven (G7) in July 2023.

Others states, including the U.S., the U.K., Germany, and France, as well as the European Union, have signed similar bilateral treaties to help Kyiv repel Russia’s aggression.

The agreement highlights that Poland was the first country to recognize Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union on Dec. 2, 1991.

Ukraine and Poland agreed to further develop political, military, and economic cooperation, and “cooperate closely in the reconstruction of Ukraine as a sovereign and democratic state.”

During the joint press conference with Tusk, Zelensky thanked Poland for the “special agreements” in the document.

The president added that the security agreement includes a provision to develop “a mechanism” for intercepting Russian missiles and drones in Ukraine’s airspace aimed at Poland.

Later in the day, the Presidential Office published on its website the full text of the security agreement between Ukraine and Poland.

The document consists of 10 chapters covering political, military, economic, and other support, as well as bilateral cooperation in the event of a future threat of Russian aggression against Ukraine.

Poland committed to providing several packages of military assistance by the end of 2024 and to continue to assist Ukraine over the next 10 years of the agreement. Warsaw will also consider supplying Ukraine with at least an additional MiG-29 squadron, according to the document.

The security agreement includes forming and training a Ukrainian Legion in Poland as well.

“The Ukrainian Legion will train in Poland and be equipped with the help of our partners. Every Ukrainian citizen who decides to join the Legion will be able to sign a contract with the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” Zelensky said.”

Russia has the third highest inflation rate among G20 countries (officially 8.3%), after economic basket cases Argentina and Turkey.

( https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/inflation-rate-?continent=g20 )

Unlike Argentina and Turkey (and most of the rest of the G20), Russia’s rate of inflation is accelerating (most analysts believe that Russia’s officially reported rates of inflation are significantly below the actual).

Russia’s officially reported acceleration in inflation last month (.5%) was the largest among the G20.

“Poland just signed its security agreement with Ukraine”

Is Poland going to start intercepting Russian missiles in Ukrainian airspace?

Hosting Ukrainian AD assets on Polish territory (safe haven)?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Russia has improved its missiles. Seems like a lot got through Air Defenses on 8 July.

Kyiv Independent reports:

“Russian forces have improved their ballistic and cruise missiles, making them more difficult to detect and shoot down, Yurii Ihnat, former Air Force spokesman, wrote on Facebook on July 8.

Russia launched a mass missile attack on Kyiv and other cities across Ukraine on the morning of July 8, killing at least 36 civilians and injuring 149 others.

The aerial attack targeted Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Sloviansk, Pokrovsk, and Kramatorsk, damaging “50 civilian sites, including residential buildings, a business center, and two medical facilities,” the State Emergency Service reported.

The Russian military additionally equipped its missiles with radars and heat traps, according to Ihnat.

The cruise missiles traveled at extremely low altitudes during the recent attacks. Some of the aerial targets were shot down at an altitude of 50 meters, which “could also lead to terrible consequences on the ground,” Ihnat said.

Russia launched 44 missiles of various types at Ukrainian cities over the past day, he added.

The Air Force earlier reported that Ukrainian forces downed 30 out of the 38 missiles launched on Ukraine in the morning of July 8.

“People on the ground sometimes push the limits of available weapons and equipment to shoot down as many Russian missiles and drones as possible,” Ihnat said”
