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.

Markets increasing their bets on Ukraine. Russia - not so much.

Kyiv Independent:

“Ukraine’s sovereign bonds rose in price after Donald Trump’s win in the U.S. presidential elections as investors expect a quicker end to the war, the Financial Times reported on Nov. 14.

Over the past month, the country’s dollar-dominated bonds have risen 12%, FT reported, as investors anticipate Trump will push for a ceasefire that could jumpstart Ukraine’s recovery and ability to repay its creditors.”

Russia has rejoined the Soviet Union (by itself). Repression, by some measures, is now exceeding even some of Stalin's reign.

Kyiv Post reports:

Russian Court Upholds 12-Year Sentence for US-Russian Woman Over $50 Pro-Ukraine Donation

"32-year-old ballet dancer Ksenia Karelina, arrested in Yekaterinburg in January 2024, faces 12 years in a penal colony. Originally charged with hooliganism, it was later upgraded to treason."

Just a reminder to everyone that the President of the United States makes policy decisions that are implemented by the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense.

These policy decisions are shaped by the daily briefing the president receives from the Director of National…

Under a Trump administration, the DNI will be @TulsiGabbard

The soon Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is on a Ukrainian hit list website, Myrotvorets.

They accuse Tulsi of being a Russian agent. This won't end well for Zelensky and Kyiv. The CIA will be reporting to her. pic.twitter.com/TOJbLgSyuK— James Porrazzo (@JamesPorrazzo) November 13, 2024

Kremlin snuff box, 11/14/24
https://t.me/s/kremlin_secrets

Mosfilm donated dozens of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles to the army. What, excuse me, is funny here?

The words of the respected director of Mosfilm, Karen Shakhnazarov, caused an amazing resonance. During a meeting with the President, he said that last year Mosfilm donated 28 T-55 tanks, 8 PT-76 tanks, 6 infantry fighting vehicles and 8 tractors to the army. All of this equipment was previously stored at the military-technical base of the film studio.

A number of public pages and even some military bloggers made jokes about this. A very strange reaction indeed. What funny did Shakhnazarov say?

Does anyone know why the army needs such equipment? Our sources say that almost all of it, unfortunately, has already been lost, but it played a role.

“Some of the equipment was used as a model to decoy enemy drones. Some were equipped for conditional combat use, and some units were dismantled for spare parts,” explained our man at the Ministry of Defense.

The ridicule is surprising at a time when all is really not going smoothly with the technology. Is it a secret to anyone that tanks are now extremely difficult to use directly on the front line? Enemy drones immediately arrive. And even attempts to keep them away are not always successful; the losses are large.

Regarding infantry fighting vehicles, the situation is close to critical. In this situation, even the Mosfilm technique is suitable to distract the enemy’s attention. Or maybe someone has other ideas? How to deal with iron deficiency?

Kremlin snuff box, 11/914/24
https://t.me/s/kremlin_secrets

“You have no idea what’s going to happen.” Will the dollar be banned in Russia and will there be an exchange rate of 400 rubles?

The dollar exchange rate on Thursday, November 14, exceeded the 100 ruble mark. We wrote that this would happen back in mid-October. And they warned: such a course is not the limit. But the Central Bank says that everything could be much more serious.

“In recent days, supporters of banning the dollar and euro in Russia have become more active. They are pulling Vladimir Vladimirovich, demanding, I quote, “to resolve the issue with the damned American papers once and for all, to return the greatness of the ruble.”

If the President listens to them, there could be big trouble,” a high-ranking source in the Central Bank noted in a conversation with us.

According to him, if American currency is banned in Russia, the ruble exchange rate will be “ at least 400 per dollar about such a scenario ” ( we also warned [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4388 ]). “If, with the current drawdown of the ruble, prices in the country will increase by 5-7 percent at most, then if the dollar is banned, inflation will be no less than 50-60% . That’s all. Collapse. You can’t even imagine what’s going to happen!” - our interlocutor warned.

We contacted one of the longtime initiators of the dollar ban, philosopher Alexander Dugin [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/2905 ]. He confirmed that he is “fighting for the greatness of the ruble.” And he assured: “I understand that prices may rise. But this is a small price to pay for defeating the American currency. I think we should pay it.”

When asked whether Vladimir Putin will listen to him and make a decision to ban the dollar and euro, Alexander Gelyevich replied: “There are signs that yes.”

True, our sources in the Kremlin refused to comment on this assumption.

8 Tu-95s airborne and close to cruise missile launch lines. Looks like Putin is having a temper tantrum over his failing Kursk counteroffensive.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, November 14, 2024

The Kremlin's recent economic policies indicate that the Russian economy will likely face significant challenges in 2025 and that Russian President Vladimir Putin is worried about Russia's economic stability in the long term. The Kremlin recently adopted several policies that aim to cut Russian government spending on wounded Russian servicemen, combat inflation, and address long-term demographic problems such as low birth rates and labor shortages. These policies demonstrate that the Russian economy is not as resilient to Western sanctions, monetary constraints, and the cost of the war effort as the Russian government postures. These policies also demonstrate that the Kremlin will not be able to sustain the protracted war effort for years and decades to come while shielding Russian society from economic challenges. Consistent Western and international support for Ukraine's resistance on the battlefield will further exacerbate Russia's economic problems.

Putin modified compensation promised for Russian servicemen wounded while fighting in Ukraine — a clear indicator that the Kremlin is trying to cut the mounting short- and long-term costs of the war and restore balance to the Russian economy. Putin controversially changed Russian policy guaranteeing a one-time payment of three million rubles ($30,124) to all Russian servicemen who have been wounded in combat in Ukraine since March 2022.[1] Putin signed a decree on November 13 that restricted the one-time payments of three million rubles only to servicemen who sustained serious injuries in combat, only offering one million rubles ($10,152) to lightly wounded servicemen, and 100,000 rubles ($1,015) to servicemen who sustained minor injuries on the battlefield.[2] Putin's decree generated significant backlash from the Russian ultranationalist milblogger community, and Putin attempted to placate this community on November 14 by increasing the one-time payments to four million rubles ($40,136), but still only for Russian servicemen who sustain severe battlefield injuries that result in a disability.[3] A Russian milblogger noted that Putin's authorization to increase compensation for disabled servicemen does not alter the fact that the Kremlin is reneging on promises to thousands of Russian servicemen who joined the Russian military solely due to large financial incentives.[4] The milblogger added that Russian military medical commissions are also becoming increasingly — and often deliberately unfairly — selective in diagnosing Russian servicemen with severe injuries.

Putin originally introduced the policy offering all wounded Russian servicemen three million rubles to incentivize military recruitment after he had decided against declaring general mobilization in Spring 2022.[5] Financial incentives became the key pillar of the Russian military's recruitment campaign and personnel retention efforts over the past nearly three years, and the reversal of such incentives indicates that the system is becoming economically unsustainable for the Kremlin. ISW notably assessed in Summer 2022 that the Kremlin's reliance on high financial incentives for force generation was committing Russia to short- and long-term financial responsibilities to thousands of Russians, such as paying veterans pensions, compensations to families of deceased servicemen, and other state benefits.[6]

The Kremlin's efforts to combat inflation and high interest rates are also reportedly impacting the expansion of the Russian defense industrial base (DIB) and prospects for mobilizing the economy. The Russian Central Bank recently raised the key interest rate to 21 percent on October 25, which reportedly prompted discontent among Russian politicians, DIB CEOs, and elites. Kremlin-affiliated Center for Macroeconomic Analysis and Short-Term Forecasting (TsMAKP) reported that the Russian economy is “effectively facing the threat of stagflation - simultaneous stagnation or even recession and high inflation” because of the Central Bank's tight monetary policy.[7] TsMAKP assessed that if the Russian Central Bank maintains the key interest rate at around 20 percent until mid-2025 then the composite leading indicator (CLI) for recession will exceed its critical threshold. The Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service similarly reported that the number of loans with a dynamic rate — which depends on a discount from the Central Bank — increased from 44 percent in late 2023 to 53 percent in late 2024.[8] The Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service added that high interest rates may create a shock and a decline in production, which can result in bankruptcies and corporate defaults. A Kremlin insider source claimed that the Central Bank's tight monetary policy is restraining the Russian DIB’s pace of development in the long term and has already complicated several Russian export projects, despite the fact that it had not yet directly impacted Russian military-technological support for the Russian war effort.[9]

The Russian DIB is unlikely to match the production rate necessary to replace Russian weapons losses under these monetary policies. Foreign Policy (FP), citing OSINT analysts, reported that Russia has been losing around 320 tank and artillery cannon barrels per month but can only produce 20 per month.[10] FP reported that Russia will likely run out of cannon barrels in 2025 due to battlefield losses, dwindling Soviet stocks, and sanctions impacts. FP also cited OSINT estimates that Russian forces have lost at least 4,955 infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) since February 2022 — about 155 IFVs per month. FP reported that Russia can only produce about 17 IFVs monthly or 200 annually. FP assessed that the Central Bank's policy of raising interest rates has made it difficult for nondefense companies to raise capital through loans, which is shrinking the civilian economy and may lead to significant post-war recession as returning Russian veterans will have a harder time finding employment.

It’s a bloodbath for the russians in Kursk.

I have not seen anything on x.com WRT cruise missile launches. Will keep looking.

However, videos from Kursk keep arriving every day.

The US is now producing over 50,000 155mm artillery shells per month, and will produce over 100,000 shells per month by next year.

The US has already tripled prewar shell production and is on track to increase it by over 600%.
