700 BABY!!!
No one cares
711/1200 = 59%.
41% to go.
Someone did an analysis of captured RuZZian documents which showed their tank losses for some division/battalion, etc. ORYX had cataloged about 80% of those losses.
So a rough estimate is ORYX is missing 20% of losses. So RuZZian losses could be 711 * 1.2 = 853. Only the RuZZian high command knows for sure.
RuZZia is now pulling T62s from storage. They are looking desperate.
“Videos recently appeared showing ancient T-62M & T-62MV tanks being moved from military storage in Rostov Oblast & Crimea, for possible use in UA.
These are stored in the Russian mobilisation reserve- but most were already donated to Tajikistan, LNA (Libya) & Syria.”

Tokyo Rose, early 1945:
“Today the Imperial Japanese Empire sank 4 American aircraft carriers, 5 battleships, 19 destroyers...” etc.
711/1200 = 59%.

of the tanks in Ukraine.
of the 2500 in RGF inventory, this leaves only 1789 to go to total depletion.
The real attack on Europe is the open borders and rampant crime the diversity has brought.
Take a couple of Tums...
LOL
No reactive armor, RPG 7 bait.
When we see T-55s rolling toward Ukraine we will know Russia has a tank problem.
Seems like the Russian forces have adapted to circumstances, by scaling down their objectives, so that they are able to concentrate decisive combat power to achieve them. They also seem to have learned to protect their General Officers and Naval vessels better.
They are reportedly developing secondary defensive lines in the newly occupied areas in the South, while they grind on to consolidate more of the Donbas. Their current approach seems more successful for them, but it is slow and costly.
The Western heavy weapons are flowing in. By next month, their impact should shift the battle further. Likely some grinding stalemate, but also more Ukrainian counteroffensive capability.
Reportedly, the new expectation being peddled to the Russian elite is to buckle down for a 2-3 year war. That would put severe systemic strain on both Russia and the Ukraine. Things will undoubtedly start breaking, but it is hard to predict when, and who breaks first overall.

“Ancient Russian T-62M and T-62MV tanks are already in Russian-controlled Melitopol, #Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
We will monitor where they are used and the first time that they are lost or destroyed.”

••Situation is very very difficult for UA, but their defenses have not collapsed. At this moment the outcome depends on who has the most will to fight.
••How this war effects the world and Russia:
Hungary: Declared state of emergency - things are getting out of control;
Germany: Will restart coal fired power plants. 180 deg turn from going ‘Green’;
Russia: Getting worse economically. Logistics tracking rates - from St Petersburg south to Volgogrod area, consumer goods are taken by truck. (Why not by rail?).
Truck shipping rates have fallen by almost half, implying economy going down. Projection is 8-9% GDP decline, but based on logistical rate decline could be 30-40%. Bringing in Chinese goods from Vladivostok in the Far East by truck. (Perhaps using truckers helps the economy more than trying to ship by rail?).
Department store sales fell by 8 times during April in Russia’s major military manufacturing hub; largest drop on record. In a small province in central southern Russian, personal bankruptcies went from 10s to 100s - another record. Oil being sold at $65 discount; past discount was only $5. Russia will be pushed into technical default on its dollar debt on May 27.
Switchblade drones: 300 used on tank with exposed crew. (600s are made by hand and were only 10 last month). Orcs used one of their suicide drones on M777 battery, but it missed only wounding some troops. (Other videos are too pixelated at too great a distance to make out what, if anything, was hit by Orc drones.)

Summary: Stable situation overall with extremely difficult position for Ukrainian side near Popasna
Key areas: - Izyum bridgehead - no changes.
- Lyman bridgehead - was split into two halves (Lyman+Svyatohirsk), strong Russian attack on Lyman, eastern portion of town captured, no Russian advances today
- Popasna area: no changes, attack towards village Bilogorivka (near Nagirne)
- Svitlodarsk area: Russian attack from flank and rear forced withdrawal from Svitlodarsk salient
- Donetsk West: no changes
1. Kharkiv: no changes; Ternova is captured by Russian forces; Rubizhne is in UA hands.
2. Izyum bridgehead. It is extremely dangerous penetration by Russian troops that potentially could lead to large pocket for Ukrainian troops west of Donetsk. No changes today.
3. Lyman bridgehead. split into two halves - Svyatohirsk and Lyman. Strong Russian attack on Lyman from north-east and east resulting in the eastern portion of town being captured by the Russian troops. No changes today.
4. Rubizhne: captured by Russian troops
5. Severodonetsk - no changes, main bridge connecting UA troops with the rest of UA is destroyed by RU artillery.
••Orcs preparing another group of forces in north to cross the river (where last one failed), in order to join up with Wagner Group forces pushing up from the south, cutting off UA troops and forcing them to leave all their heavy equipment behind. Individual troops and low level company commanders will determine the fate of this situation.
••Town of Severodonetsk is held by 1500-2000 UA troops, mostly militia. Orcs using 2nd rate troops from Luhansk separatist militias (2 Army Core).
6. Popasna area. Russian forces - Wagner Group, 57 brigade, 40 Nav Inf Br, unknown airborne unit. Situation has deteriorated for Ukrainian side significantly and is on the edge. No changes.
••Orc axis of attack shifted to NW.
7. Svtilodarsk area: Russian attack (Wagner Group) from the north resulted in the threat of encirclement of Ukrainian troops on Svitlodarsk salient which resulted of withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from there.
8. West of Donetsk: Avidyivka and Maryinka. Never ending attempts of the Russian side to break-through there. No changes today.
9. Vugledar is in Ukrainian hands. No changes today.
10. Velyka Novosilka - Gulyapole stretch of frontline. No changes.
11. Kherson bridgehead: no changes.
“For the first time we see the self-contained ground launch of US-supplied Switchblade 300 loitering munitions by the Ukrainian forces- these drones are starting to be used more widely in the East and are great against non-armoured targets and infantry.
