Ancient Russian T-62 Tanks Spotted Wearing Cage Armor In Ukraine
Similar armor appeared on some Russian tanks prior to the invasion, but proved ineffective at mitigating attacks from anti-tank missiles.
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/ancient-russian-t-62-tanks-spotted-wearing-cage-armor-in-ukraine
Effect on the battlefield: psychological.
———————————————————————————————————————
••T-62
Has homogeneous armor - pure armor plate 100mm thick, no composites. PRG 18 can destroy this tank (but not T-64s). 100mm armor same as T-34. Is just an improved T-34.
Idea was on battlefield to have biggest swarm and win. Extremely expendable tank and crew. Leopard 1 is same generation as T-62 and would be criminal to use it in Ukraine.
Long explanation on tank armor construction. Composite armor adds to armor thickness without adding weight.
As an assault gun, it only has 150mm gun and thin armour so need to be about 1km from enemy to be used that way.
T-62 means high death rate with a crew of 4, but makes no sense when you are short of troops.
Explanation on where these old tanks are stored.
(Edit: How Many Tanks Does Russia Really Have? And Where Are They?)
Includes a brief description of Orc military unit conventions and example of how one unit had several name changes

••Rocket strikes on Kiev
Tried to destroy facility that puts reactive armor on Polish’s tanks - what was destroyed is secret.
••Mobilization
Very very bad political idea inside Russia, to be avoided at all costs. So they are trying to get troops from their allies, like Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, other small former Soviet block countries. Both countries going toward 1917 moments with Russia closest.

Summary: Ukrainian forces essentially lost Svyatohirsk (Lyman) bridgehead, and retreated to chemical industrial facility - Azot - in Severodonetsk.
Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead: no changes.
- Lyman bridgehead - Ukrainian forces essentially lost Svyatohirsk.
- Severodonetsk - Ukrainian troops retreated bak to Azot plant.
- Popasna area: no changes. - Svitlodarsk area: no changes.
- Donetsk West: no changes
- Kherson bridgehead: no changes.
1. Kharkiv: no changes, Ternova is captured by Russian forces, Rubizhne is in UA hands.
••Bransk, Kursk, Belogord regions artillery ping pong continues.
2. Izyum bridgehead. No changes today.
3. Lyman bridgehead. Ukrainian troops retreated from Svyatohirsk, area is being mopped up by Russian troops. Essentially, Lyman bridgehead is lost.
4. Rubizhne: captured by Russian troops
5. Severodonetsk - Ukrainian troops retreated back to Azot plant under heavy pressure.
••Russian general killed yesterday: his command staff car was driving to where Orc troops were supposed to be, but they weren’t there - just UA troops who killed them. Body recovered by UA troops. Unverified story.
••The idea here is to keep Orc command off balance and forced to keep troops in the area. Also very difficult to fight in an industrial area.
6. Popasna area: No changes today.
••61 NB which was west of Donetsk has been pulled north to Popasna
••UA 24th will be out of action if Orcs pivot east and all equipment will be abandoned and lots of POWs.
••Orc troops close to UA main suppler lines and getting within artillery range will force UA to withdraw from the entire salient.
••UA artillery on heights across the river can see their targets only 4km away. Holding it depends on artillery demands elsewhere and on high command.
7. Svtilodarsk area: No changes today.
8. West of Donetsk: Avdiyivka and Maryinka. No changes today.
••Orc 61 NB pulled to Popasna
9. Vugledar is in Ukrainian hands. No changes today.
10. Velyka Novosilka - Gulyapole stretch of frontline. No changes.
11. Kherson bridgehead: Ongoing positional fighting near Davydiv Brid and Snigurivka. No changes today.
“Ilya Medvedev, son of former Russian President and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, was deported from the United States today”
Be nice to see separate totals of Ukraine vs Russia losses.
“Putin singled out the auto sector, where nearly all car plants have shut for lack of imported components, and said industries like steel face “risks of substantial reduction in output in the medium term.” At the same time, he touted record-low unemployment and the ruble’s strength as positive signs.
In a televised meeting with officials, Putin called on the government to provide more assistance to companies and consumers, though he didn’t announce any new spending. He didn’t specifically mention sanctions imposed by the US and its allies, referring only to “today’s difficulties caused by a series of circumstances that we won’t get into the details of.””
Russia - 4251, of which: destroyed: 2487, damaged: 75, abandoned: 316, captured: 1372

Ukraine - 1139, of which: destroyed: 545, damaged: 24, abandoned: 35, captured: 535

He’s not going to get far with the consumer sector as they are not buying. Tidbits from WIU posts:
Russian Economy:
Officially in technical default on its debt. US banks on hook for billions of dollars lost for their investors. New home sales drop 3.5 times; retail sales dropped 10% - stats from Orc Statistical Bureau.
EU bans Russian oil imports, except for 3 countries that get oil by pipeline. Totally bad policy, as Orcs export EU volume to China and India at $70 bbl. Production Costs not more than $20 and likely closer to $10-15 bbl. Huge profits and supports war effort, while creating problem in the rest of the world possibly driving prices to $150 bbl.
Russia was not allowed to pay investors of its debt. Technical default forced by US Treasury. 30 day grace period that will probably turn into default. Russia does not care. Repercussions will be felt in West. (Edit: another amazingly bad JoeB policy).
Steel Production for internal construction drops 40%. Steel Export market drops 38%. Big gold mine goes on strike - miners not paid.
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.

“Oryx is totally a reliable source”
Yes they are. Thanks.
(That last one is listed as an "unknown" truck...and yet without any kind of identifying marks, it's still attributed as a Russian loss?)
Oryx's source is social media - people send them pictures. Their audience is very pro-Ukrainian and adheres to Ukraine's blackout policy. As near as can be told, their method is: (1) reverse image search; (2) vehicle ID plus context clues; and (3) attribution from source. This source of intel means that there is a baked-in "psyop bias" due to the blackout. That audience will do everything they can to maximize Russian loss claims, including self-claims. (Also, most civilians cannot distinguish military equipment let alone tell which side it's on.)
Oryx is certainly reliable as a source when dealing with vehicles only used by Russia, where they can make a determination on vehicle ID alone without using psyop-tainted source attribution....but when it comes to Soviet-era vehicles that are still used by both Russia and Ukraine? When the pictures lack any kind of identifying invasion marks, they're essentially relying on the integrity and/or competence of their social media sources.
It's one thing to utilize clear-cut pictures with an identifiable paper trail of sorts to validate vehicle loss (of which there are a lot, to be fair).
But if you feel like you can confirm anything with confidence using just the above pictures, you're certainly a lot bolder than I.
“lot bolder than I”
I guess so.
Thanks. Does seem to differ from posted numbers.
