ORYX is scrubbing their list looking for duplicates and reduced tank kills by 11 from yesterday.
The RuZZian trolls think ORYX is part of some great conspiracy against Ruuuucha. They can’t believe some organization could be a neutral 3rd party. I think it has to do with RuZZia as a country and society being so corrupt. They think everyone else must be like that also.
If a revolution occurred in Ukraine in 2014, then the CIA and US GOV Must be behind it. Proof and facts aren’t required. Beside, who in their right mind would want to leave the ‘RuZZian World’ and become part of the European community which respects human rights and real democracy?

NOPE.
Dumb Dirty RuZZian.
Was not approved by anyone at your Ministry of Truth HQ, but given I know you are openminded and not biased in any way shape or form, a very very deep reality check for you coming from:

I’d seriously encourage you to listen to it tho I know it cuts against the grain of your narratives.
Also, might want to read this given your penchant for thinking the Russians will soon run out of bullets, missiles, shells, etc.:

••Ukraine Politics:
Zelenskyy Fired Ivan Bakanov (SBU Head - Ukrainian version of the KGB) and Iryna Venediktova (AG). Strange doings: fired on Sunday evening
Bakanov:
Bakanov was a childhood friend and business partner in comedy business. Zelenskyy appointed him after wining the Presidency, from Parliament where Bakanov was the leader of the Serve the People Party. He has no professional background and no clue about intelligence services and was not respected there. He is married to a Russian citizen.
He was a “vetting” general (?) at the head of that unit. Service was dysfunctional before he arrived and continued that way. Agency was infested with Russian agents and spies. He made it even worse.
Venediktova:
She was also appointed by Zelenskyy. She was Zelenskyy’s legal advisor prior to his election and elected to Parliament as a member of his Party, and where she lead the legal committee in Parliament.
In 2020, Zelenskyy appointed her as Attorney General. She has a strong legal background with a Doctorate: Juris Utriusque Doctor (a graduate-entry professional degree in law) and educational degree. Her thesis was on “Protection of Interests Guaranteed...by Law” at TSNU, Kyiv in 2013. She taught at the University.
Skilled, shrewd, and intelligent individual. She did everything Zelenskyy wanted, as long as it was legal, but would not do illegal things. She tried to keep a balance, keeping her bureaucratic record clean so as not to have legal problems when she left government.
Specific allegations:
In both services there are a lot of traitors, collaborators: Venediktova had a lot of regional attorneys and attorneys general who joined the Occupation.
Bakanov was accused of improper execution of duties which led to people dying. First time any government official was fired for that reason.
Speculation:
Zelenskyy wants scapegoats for what happened at the beginning war and the country being unprepared. Zelenskyy fired them to release some of the rampant negative political energy in the country, especially after accusation about his left and right hand, Andrey Yermak. (See: Victoria Spartz Scandal).
Yermak:
Yermak’s father is Colonel or Major in Central Intelligence of the RGF. The father lives in Russia where he and his son have a business with a well-connected Russian businessman who is an advisor to a Senator (upper chamber) of the Russian Parliament. He is well connected to the Russian political ruling class and specifically, close to Putin’s inner circle.
Another Speculation:
Yermak wants to directly control both the SBU and the AG agencies. He has already appoint acting heads to both agencies, and because they are appointed, they are easily manipulated. But all this is just speculation and it is unclear why all of this is happening.
Andrey Portnov:
He was the legal advisor for The Grey Cardinal (Victor Yanoukovich), fled the country in early June - destination unknown. Also connected to Yermak.
This whole affair is viewed internally like and earthquake.
••WiU:
... the country was run extremely poorly. Major reason why Russia decided to invade was internal rot that made Ukraine look like an easy prey.
••WiU Commenter 1:
The M777 doesn’t enjoy a range advantage over Russian 155s but it is a lot lighter. M777A1 and later have a digital fire control previously seen in SP howitzers, providing an accuracy edge over towed Russian guns. However, the towed Russian guns are simpler and easier to maintain, and are a lot sturdier. The M777 with its exposed digital fire control system is susceptible to shrapnel that the simpler Russian towed arty can often shrug off.
••WiU Commenter 2:
The M777 was designed as mountain howitzer, to be used against enemy who has RPGs and perhaps some mortars
••WiU Commenter 3:
I saw a video yesterday that showed a compilation of 16 Russian ammo dumps burning. My guess is that the number is actually higher but for my estimate, I will use 16. If each of those ammo dumps had 100,000 rounds of munitions that is 1,600,000 rounds. I know that not all rounds were artillery, but I’m guessing the vast majority of them were.
Given the amount of shelling, the number of artillery emplacements, and the density of those artillery pieces, I could not even begin to imagine that there would be less than 100,000 rounds of ammo per ammo dump. Also, because the Russian Logistics network is not a just-in-time supply chain they are using more of a “push” logistics which means they continue to jam munitions forward, this also leads me to believe that there had to have been at least 100,000 rounds on average per depot.
If Russia was using 60,000 rounds per day as reported, that would be approximately 27 days worth of munitions. If Russia was using 40,000 rounds per day, that would be 40 days worth of munitions. I actually think that there have been more ammo dumps hit than 16, but I used that number. I bet it’s closer to 2,000,000 rounds. If I am even close, Russia has taken a very big hit to their ammunition logistics.
Ukraine has also hit the rail yard in Alchevs’k every single day for the past two weeks. If Ukraine continues to target Russian logistics networks such as rail yards, railroad bridges and trains, I believe that Russia will have to move the bulk of their logistics to trucks which will make things exponentially worse for the Russians. It will take the Russians months to recover from this if at all possible.
••WiU Reply:
The total number that has been hit is about 16. Again, it’s all speculative, but agree with you that if this strategy continues it will affect RU supplies of ammo. Given that they use a lot of it, they need huge volumes of resupply. So, it’s possible to derail RU artillery in that way. Not totally, but diminish its impact to more bearable situation from WW1-style as it’s now. P.S. The problem is that we don’t have any good data to approximate RU usage of ammo right now, so all other conclusions are based on sand. Let’s see.
••WiU Commenter 3:
The current list of locations seems to be pretty accurate and there appears to be current video evidence to support it. The compilation video looked pretty thorough and pretty accurate based on what has been reported. My assumptions are that all of the destroyed ammo dumps have been counted and therefore accounted for, but as I have stated, I believe that the numbers are actually quite a bit higher.
If the Ukrainian forces are able to push the Russian logistics back at least another 50 km, I believe that the Russians will need to increase the number of supply trucks to somewhere between 22,500 - 25,000 trucks. I just cannot see the Russians being able to capably supply this type of logistics network. If they cannot, every time a Russian artillery battery gets resupplied and begins firing, they will be exponentially more susceptible to counter-battery fire.
it’s like a snowball effect. A seriously diminished Russian front line will be much easier targets for Ukrainian counter-battery. If a portion of Russian artillery has to sit idle due to lack of munitions, every time an artillery battery starts up (gets supplied munitions), it will come under intense Ukrainian counter-battery.
Russia had better iron out its logistics problems really soon or the Ukrainians will come up with strategies to pick them off one at a time. I also believe that with the intelligence being provided to the Ukrainians from Western sources, Ukraine is getting WAY more intelligence than they can actually act upon right now.
Western Intelligence source and civilian companies have actually provided Ukrainians access to their satellite systems so Ukraine has real time information and the ability to maneuver those satellites as they deem necessary. The entire World has aligned against Russia. Believe me when I tell you that the intelligence of the Ukrainian Military is being way underestimated on the battlefield right now.
If Ukraine pushes the Russians back just another 50 km, my estimates are that the Russian Logistics Network will require somewhere between 22,500 - 25,000 trucks to supply the front lines. This is absolutely unsustainable for the Russians. And I predict that Ukraine will have the 300 km rockets within a few weeks. I’ve actually heard that the U.S. has already put them into the next draw-down package but I haven’t seen that in writing yet.
The fact that more Western Allies have begun sending M270’s into the fight also tells me that the Russians could put their ammo dumps 200 km back and they still will not be safe. Ukraine continues to target rail yards, trains and railroad bridges. Things are not looking good for the Russians. On a final note, I think the Russians know that Ukraine is getting ready to receive the 300 km rockets. I heard that the Russians moved their Black Sea Fleet from Sevastopol, 300 km to the east to the port of Novorossiysk. The Russians are worried.
The fact that HIMARS shoot as far as 300 km does not mean that it’ll operate on very front line to use its range to the maximum extent. They have to be far enough away to be as safe as possible, these systems cannot easily be replaced if destroyed. On the other hand, the longer the trajectory of the missile is, the greater the possibility of it being intercepted.
••WiU Commenter 4:
Where on the frontline did Russia capture M777’s and destroy the Krab?
••WiU Reply:
3 or 4 M777 were destroyed near Lysychansk; one was captured (may have been destroyed first); one of them was 2-3 km from frontline. This is normal loss, as they are susceptible to counter-battery fire.
A Krab destroyed by Russians today; the location is unclear; not a good indication of its use, and should not have been lost to counter-battery fire.
HIMARS:
Few attacks, not wildly successful because ZSU does not know of any new targets - failure of their intelligence services. And maybe because the ZSU hit the large ammo dump in Kursk. The special operation in Sumy may have something to do with this strike.
———————————————————————————————————————
Summary: No changes.
Russian troops are being resupplied with fresh reserves and regrouped.
No successful HIMARS MLRS rocket strikes in terms of hitting ammunition depots.
Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead: no changes.
- Popasna/Lysychansk area: No changes.
- Svitlodarsk area: no changes.
- Donetsk West: no changes
- Kherson bridgehead: no changes.
1. Kharkiv: No changes.
North of Kharkiv - the governor of the Kursk (Russia) region declared they are doing some sort of special operation against ZSU forces on the border in the Sumy region. No specifics known yet, but very strange to be coming from a governor, not a military man. Could be the start of an escalation there.
2. Izyum bridgehead. No changes.
••Very quiet; not even artillery exchanges; very surprising; Sergey Shoigu visit urging continued attacks indicates that this northern Donbas region will be the focus of their renewed attacks along with the ‘corner’ south of Popasna to reform their pincher.
3. Popasna/Lysychansk area: No changes.
••Small scale wide spread attacks all along the front.
4. Svtilodarsk area: No changes.
••Some attacks here too.
5. West of Donetsk: Avdiyivka and Maryinka. No changes.
6. Vugledar: No changes.
••Some attacks here too. Could be part of renewed Orc attacks has no entrenched defenses just an ad hoc line.
7. Velyka Novosilka - Gulyapole stretch of frontline. No changes.
8. Kherson bridgehead: No changes.
Thanks for the update.
I like following the ‘artillery ammo depot’ situation.

But, but that can’t be!! All Pootie Toot’s boys say the Russian economy is strong, and they make all their own stuff.
Either Putin or Bloomberg must be lying, ‘cause our resident trolls are always correct.
“The Wagner-linked RSOTM channel posted about HIMARS, which they said are successfully striking “very important” targets. They say that Russian claims that HIMARS have been stolen or destroyed are fiction and that there would be greater evidence if true.”
