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.

There have been several videos showing orcs hitching a ride on various vehicles.

On this video, the orcs start scattering, but too late.

“Russia delivered 44 new T-90Ms in 2023. With 11 delivered so far in 2024, that number does not seem set to rise.”

.....

“Russia Puts On Song And Dance For New Tanks, But What’s Behind The Curtain?”

“Russia made quite a song and dance recently about a shipment of new T-90M tanks to the front line – literally, with state television showing a cheering crowd of two thousand factory workers, performances by singer turned politician Denis Maydanov and rock group Zemlyane, plus a blessing for the hardware by an Orthodox priest.

It was a big celebration for a modest delivery of new hardware. A close look at what is being delivered suggests an attempt to gloss over the true state of Russia’s tank production.”

“Russia delivered 44 new T-90Ms in 2023.”

The article you linked indicates that even the supposedly “new” T-90M tanks, that were delivered at an average rate of less than one per week, are likely to have been all or at least partly upgraded T-90A tanks, out of the 200 in the Russian inventory before the war. No T-90As have been showing up on the battlefield, and some of the “new’ T-90Ms had assorted features of T-90As.

The article states:

“One obvious reason for this is the problem of Russia’s steel industry. During the rationalization process in the 2000s, Russia closed many stee-making facilities. In 2018 they shut down the last open-hearth furnace, a type needed to make high-grade specialty steel. Ukrainian sources claim Russia is no longer able to manufacture equipment requiring high-strength steel which includes crucial items like artillery receivers and barrels.”

We continue to march toward the demilitarization of the old Soviet arsenal. Russia can crank out low tech artillery shells, with cheap steel and energetics from their oil and gas resources, but complex combat platforms are being chewed up at high rates, and Russia can’t seem to produce them in any volume.

Strikes on Russian refineries usually knock out only a portion of its total throughput (like 1/6th to 1/3rd), and it can be a different mix of products, so it is hard to estimate the total impact, through the fog of war. But it is accumulating.

“Gunvor Group Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Torbjörn Törnqvist estimates about 600,000 barrels of Russia’s daily oil-refining capacity has been knocked out by Ukrainian drone strikes.”

Very humorous proposal by “Shorty” Putin:

Ukraine Situation Report: Putin Now Talking About Creating A “Buffer Zone”
In the wake of his election victory, Putin says he is considering a “buffer zone” to protect Russian territory from Ukrainian attacks.
https://www.twz.com/news-features/ukraine-situation-report-putin-now-talking-about-creating-a-buffer-zone


Edit: Russian territory includes all the currently stolen URK land. These Oblasts are enshrined in the Russian “Constitution”.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, who explained to reporters:

“Against the backdrop of drone attacks and the shelling of our territory - public facilities, residential buildings - measures must be taken to secure these territories. They can only be secured by creating some kind of buffer zone so that any means that the enemy uses to strike us are out of range.”


After winning his fifth term as president, Putin also referenced the possibility of establishing a buffer zone:

“I do not exclude that, bearing in mind the tragic events taking place today, that we will be forced at some point, when we deem it appropriate, to create a certain ‘sanitary zone’ in the territories today under the Kyiv regime,” he said.

Putin added that such a zone might have to be big enough to stop foreign-made weapons from striking Russian territory.


Edit: Very likely the zone will have to extend to the English Chanel and perhaps beyond to ensure Shorty feels comfortable in his high lift shoes.

[ Terrible Miscalculation. Russians Realized The Forest Battle is no Walk in The Park ]

==
Day 754: Mar 18

Today, there are a lot of different updates from the Kupiansk direction.

Here, intense clashes suddenly broke out south of the forest. As it turned out, Russian forces finished regrouping and decided to initiate a renewed wave of attacks on Synkivka.

The village of Synkivka is the key to unlocking the operational space and allowing for the Russian advancement north of Kupiansk, so the precipitation of the pace of the offensive operation here is not surprising.

What is surprising is that Russians launched this wave of attacks without adequately setting the stage for a successful campaign.

As you remember, Russian forces have already tried to take Synkivka through straightforward frontal assaults.

Even though they did enjoy some levels of success at the beginning of the undertaking, Ukrainian counterattacks not only reclaimed any lost footing in the village, but also drove Russian forces back into the cover of the forest.

That was the main reason why Russians tried to rethink their approach, which even seemed to result in significant tactical adjustments.

As noted by many military analysts, these adjustments happened in the forest. Russians tried to expand their control over at least a portion of the forest in front of the settlement in order to eliminate the possibility of Ukrainian flank maneuvers and broaden the range of assault angles that they could create.

That is why, up until now, intense clashes have taken place in the forest. Despite some Russian claims of incremental gains within the forest, these were not broadly corroborated. Logically, if Russians indeed advanced deeper into the forest, then they would open new vectors of attack.

However, evidence from geolocated footage indicated that recent Russian offensives targeted the same areas as before.

This serves as a direct confirmation of the fact that Ukrainians in the forest managed to withstand Russian assaults by utilizing the forest’s natural barriers against mechanized assaults and traps and mines against infantry assaults.

The successful Ukrainian defensive operation in the forest left Russians with no choice but to resort to costly assaults across mine-laden territories toward Ukrainian defensive positions.

According to Kharkiv Military Administration Head Oleh Synehubov, Russian forces conducted a series of mechanized advances using MT-LB armored fighting vehicles instead of tanks.

Some Russian sources reported that after two days of non-stop fighting, Russian forces managed to establish control over several Ukrainian trenches in front of the village. Geolocated images show several assaults that confirm these marginal advances in the northeastern part of the stronghold.

Moreover, recent reports from Russian outlets suggest a surge in partisan activities aimed at disrupting Ukrainian logistics through sabotage in at least five villages northwest and southwest of Kupiansk.

These actions seem to be an attempt to amplify the effects of the fresh military assaults and to derange the Ukrainian logistics.

As a result of all these recent Russian efforts, different sources from both sides finally confirmed that Russian forces regained control of a trench area between Synkivka and the forest.

Geolocated night vision images released by the Ukrainian 30th Mechanized Brigade show artillery targeting these newly secured Russian positions. These trench positions appear to be in a small isolated tree grove northwest of Synkivka, about 600 meters from the edge of the forest.

Another striking video shows how incredibly close the Russian and Ukrainian positions are. The footage shows the shocking moment when two Russian soldiers leave their positions in a suicidal attempt to storm the Ukrainian positions located just meters away.

Unfortunately for the Russians, a Ukrainian reconnaissance drone just happens to be recording the attempt. The drone operator tracks the Russian soldiers in their race and has time to warn the Ukrainian side, which manages to finish off the attackers in their approach.

The images prove the utmost importance of being alert at all times, particularly with such close enemy positions, and the vital importance of drones in this war, not only in offensive actions, but also in defensive roles.

Additional footage shows Ukrainian counterbattery fire in action. Russian forces initiate artillery preparation prior to the assaults, revealing their position. Moments later, the video shows an MSTA-C howitzer being hit by Ukrainian counterbattery fire.

The latest footage indicates Ukrainian FPV drone operators’ efforts to hit as far as Lyman Pershyi, the most significant Russian base in the area. The images show an attack on a Russian drone operator’s base in the settlement.

Overall, Russian forces showed no significant improvements as a result of their adjustment efforts in the woods. Due to the fact that they failed to broaden the range of assault angles, Russian forces resorted to highly attritional tactics by building up forces along the contact line and then using them to achieve marginal advances.

Ukrainian forces remain vigilant and commit many drone and artillery resources to wipe out these Russian accumulations and undermine the Russian offensive efforts.

By the way, one of the reasons why the Russian offensives in the Kupiansk direction became less successful is that Ukrainians forced Russians to relocate some troops to save other fronts.

Kremlin snuff box, 03/19/24
https://t.me/s/kremlin_secrets

The Czech Republic bought 800,000 shells for Ukraine. Including Russia’s allies. Why is this a dangerous precedent?

The Ukrainian Armed Forces will soon receive 500,000 artillery shells of 155 mm caliber and 300,000 shells of 122 mm caliber. The Czech Republic agreed on the supply of such quantities of ammunition to Ukraine, using money from Kyiv’s allies and its connections.

The shells were purchased from 3rd countries, which, according to our intelligence, include some of our allies.

The information itself about the supply of 800,000 shells is no longer a secret. It was previously announced by Czech President Petr Pavel. The fact is that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are experiencing a serious shortage of shells and the military industry of the West, apparently, cannot cope with the required volumes of supplies. Our side uses several times more shells, but here North Korea came to the rescue.

According to our sources, the number of countries that sold shells to the Czech Republic for the Armed Forces of Ukraine included a number of states in the Global South and several African countries. Negotiations on supplies lasted several years.

Russia, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense, transmitted warnings about what consequences participation in such transactions would have for these countries. However, the Czechs managed to persuade them to sell these shells to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The second important point is that a large batch of shells was essentially bought together. 2 dozen countries took part in this purchase, with the largest role assigned to Germany, which will invest at least 500 million Euros in the purchase of these shells.

And here we come to the most important aspect - the West has exhausted many of its reserves and is ready to jointly finance purchases of weapons from 3rd countries. So far we are talking about shells, but what will happen next? Aircraft? Tanks? Drones?

We are forced to admit that essentially, a large list of countries unfriendly to Russia, is being formed that satisfy the wishes of the Kyiv regime. And if even our partners could not resist the temptation to sell hundreds of thousands of shells, then what will stop them tomorrow from changing their status from “partners” to “enemies”?

Kremlin snuff box, 03/18/24
https://t.me/s/kremlin_secrets

Putin set five important tasks for the military and demanded that they tell him the time frame for completing the SVO.

According to three of our sources in the Ministry of Defense, the President spoke with Sergei Shoigu about this immediately after the end of voting on Sunday ( we wrote about this conversation - ed ).

“Vladimir Vladimirovich set the following tasks. He wants to know: when we can end the NWO with our victory; what to do with mobilization; when it is realistic to announce partial demobilization.

He is also waiting for an assessment of our readiness for a possible military confrontation with NATO, the effectiveness of measures to disrupt Western military assistance to Ukraine, the mobilization carried out by the Kiev regime, and proposals for new measures that we will take in these areas,” one of the interlocutors said.

According to another, Putin is especially interested in the timing of the completion of the Northern Military District and the issue of confrontation with NATO.

A possible clash with the West, according to sources in the Kremlin, became more urgent after the leaders of Germany and other countries refused to congratulate Vladimir Vladimirovich on his victory in the elections.

True, according to them, there is no talk of a possible war with NATO in the near future.

Regarding the situation in the Belgorod and Kursk regions, Putin demanded that Shoigu drive out all saboteurs and enemy military personnel from these regions in the near future.

Vladimir Vladimirovich does not consider this assignment a task that requires a lot of time.

The military has up to two weeks to complete all tasks and instructions of the president.

Russian Mysticism - very stronk:

Kremlin snuff box. 03/18/24
https://t.me/s/kremlin_secrets

“From him come grace and strength.” Shoigu brought the ashes of the great commander Suvorov to Crimea

During a recent visit to Sevastopol, Sergei Shoigu took with him the remains of Alexander Suvorov.

We wrote that the commander’s ashes were temporarily taken from the grave. It will carry out prayer services, fly over the front line and other places important to our country.

The goal is to strengthen the strength of Russian weapons and the morale of the army. All these actions are carried out in secret, “so as not to cause unnecessary conversations and accusations of vandalism.”

According to our sources in the Ministry of Defense, a prayer service over the ashes of Suvorov has already been held in Moscow; representatives of many religions were present.

After that, he was loaded into a light aircraft and flown over the capital “for the sake of successful elections and the protection of Moscow from enemy attacks.”

Later, Shoigu took the remains with him to Sevastopol. There they were shown to “specially selected officers”, loaded into a helicopter and flown with them over a number of objects in the city.

After this, the helicopter flew over a significant part of Crimea, and so that Suvorov’s ashes “appeared over objects that are important to us, on which the enemy has struck and may still strike.”

Now, the remains of the commander will be sent to the area where the military operations are taking place - closer to the difficult sectors of the front.

We were able to talk to an officer who saw Suvorov’s remains. “At first glance, what’s the big deal, the man died a long time ago. I was skeptical. But when you looked closer...

“You know, some kind of grace and strength emanate from him. I am very glad that I saw these ashes and even touched them. I now believe that Alexander Vasilyevich will protect us from heaven,” said the military man.

Imagine new district can be created with t-55s, t-34s and kv-1s and 2s as well as 40s grads and d-10 artillery, well until the SVO sucks up those reserves.

At least with the Black Sea fleet, they can be moved and even still….
Muskova has limited ways to raise funds for svo, hydrocarbon revenues and even supplies are being degraded, nation wealth fund is being drained, increased taxes generally results in lowered revenue over time, military exports have been replace with military imports, gdp increases though real on paper are not very effective when they are blown up either on purpose or on the battlefield.
