The same as it ever was
Russia - 17215, of which: destroyed: 12537, damaged: 760, abandoned: 988, captured: 2930
Tanks (3296, of which destroyed: 2251, damaged: 156, abandoned: 367, captured: 522)
Putin was affiliated with St. Petersburg mafia from his teens.
Those connections were a big reason that Yeltsin took Putin into his Administration as Chief of Staff. Yeltsin wanted graft money, and the mob could make a lot happen for him.
think he was already dead.
Ukraine also beating Russia in the Olympic medal count.
“Tanks (3296)”
This is just about the total that were on Operational status (not in long term storage, and had associated personal positions for crew), throughout the entire Russian Military force structure (Active and Reserve Forces), at the start of the current wave of invasion (February 2022).
We can assume that a large number of the associated trained crew members have been lost in the process, degrading the experience level, and likely the training level, of current crews.
84... A good start
“In Mali, rebels have reportedly destroyed 84 elite Wagner mercenaries, marking the largest loss for them since their deployment in the country. Additionally, the rebel group claims to have killed 47 Malian soldiers during the battle in Tinzaouaten.”

August carries risks for Moscow. Putin received a classified intelligence report
Intelligence has prepared a traditional analysis of the risks and challenges facing the country this month. The report is already on the President’s desk. It is known in advance that intelligence services are recording an increase in threats to the capital.
“Enemy intelligence services are preparing provocations in Moscow and the region. A number of prominent politicians and public figures have received warnings from us about the need to strengthen security measures, at least for the next month,” said a source in the FSB. The interlocutor flatly refused to disclose the names.
Our sources also point out that the enemy has increased the frequency and number of shelling of our territory. At the same time, the emphasis is on drones, not missiles.
The second important point, which, by the way, was not reported to the President, is the serious losses of our air defense at the front. This together increases the likelihood of a repetition of massive shelling of Moscow.
We hope that certain steps will be taken in this regard. Our people need to be protected. And, what seems important to us, in order to make informed decisions, the President must receive complete information.

Important clarification on Crimea
As a result of the night attack on Crimea, two air defense installations were lost (previously one was reported [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4457 ]). Preliminarily, we are talking about the new S-400. The information about the 4 affected installations, which appeared in enemy Telegram channels, does not correspond to reality.
It is worth noting that they tried to hide data about such serious losses from the command; only around 12:00 did our interlocutors inform us about the real consequences of the night raid. Alas, the blow was very massive.

Unfortunately, there are flights across Crimea (clarification here )
Last night the enemy attacked Crimea with missiles and drones. In Sevastopol, some of the targets were shot down, but some missiles flew at military targets. We will not disclose which objects were hit for security reasons. But we note that most of the targets were actually shot down.
Alas, one S-300 installation was lost as a result of the attack on Sevastopol. Unfortunately, 3 soldiers were killed.
We also know about a fire at one of the important enterprises of the city, but we will not name it so as not to transfer information to the enemy.
Saki also came under enemy attack. There, a drone hit a military facility. 2 soldiers were killed and 5 more were wounded. Unfortunately, valuable electronic equipment was lost.

A few words about the exchange that took place
Considering the specifics of the process, we deliberately paused so as not to disrupt the exchange . If the preparation process could be made public, it would be included in the history books of intelligence services and diplomacy.
What is important: the sources do not disclose who exactly initiated the exchange. The fact is that the first negotiations began about a year ago. And they went on separate cases. They began to unite them into one story gradually.
Erdogan played a huge role; this is not the first time he has demonstrated himself to be a reliable mediator in such matters.
It is significant for us that our agents, even if they failed the mission, were not left in the lurch. Russians don’t abandon their own! This is important to understand, because our intelligence officers continue to work all over the world.
A very strong case is the release of Vadim Krasikov. Let’s not be modest, here we forced the Germans to bend. Berlin really did not want to give Krasikov to Russia. He was serving a life sentence for the murder of Chechen field commander Zelimkhan Khangoshvili in 2019.
Sources note that the increasing number of failures of our intelligence officers in the West has led to the expulsion of hundreds of our diplomats around the world. And this problem has yet to be solved. “Everyone understands that the best cover is a diplomatic passport,” explained a source in the SVR.
Overall, a good story for our intelligence services. Work continues.
Another Russian Su-25 was just promoted to fireball.
It should be noted that the arrival of these aircraft in Ukraine is also known only from media sources, as the Ministry of Defense has not officially commented on this information.
