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. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers 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 the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it is 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.

I wonder if this was counter-battery or random target acquisition?
Perhaps the Ukes are using the Army battlefield drones for target acquisition.
“Possibly the first video of the American M982 Excalibur in action: as claimed, guided shells fired from a M777A2 howitzer were used in #Kherson Oblast.
We can see two entrenched Russian Kamaz-63501AT artillery trucks and a dugout being destroyed with precise fire.”

———————————————————————————————————————
Summary:
Minor gains by Russian troops near Novomykhaylivka and north of Pisky and south of Opytne.
Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead: no changes
- North Donbass area: no changes
- Donetsk West:
Fighting for village Novomykhaylivka south of Maryinka continues
Russian troops making progress in capturing the village;
Russain troops squeezed Ukrainian forces outside of road M-30 near Pisky and Opytne.
- Kherson bridgehead: no changes.
1. Kharkiv: No changes.
••Russian rumor mill is saying some UA commando units are operating on Russian soil, Kursk region: laying mimes, blowing up rail track. Not verified
••Orcs trying to attack UA bridgehead on east side of Severski-Donets River. Local and tactical attacks.
2. Izyum bridgehead. No changes.
••A little bit more active.
3. North Donbass: No changes.
••Weak attacks. Orcs hitting wall so trying to attack flanks.
••No new attacks in Bakhmut.
••New attacks near Shumy.
4. West of Donetsk:
••Lots of fighting here.
••Ten days ago the UA held lines south of M-40 Hyw. Their positions were strongly engineered.
Now the UA has been pushed back some distance north of M-40 where their defenses are nowhere near as strong.
Extensive use of artillery and thermobaric weapons to keep Orc casualties within acceptable range.
UA 56th Brigade has suffered very heavy losses as a resulting the Pisky area.
56th likely has limited ability to continue defensive operations now.
5. Vugledar - Velyka Novosilka - Gulyapole stretch of frontline:
6. Kherson bridgehead: No changes.
••Orc forces have enough supplies to remain capable. Enough to defend and do small tactical attacks
••UA Command only did half the job needed to be done.
Back in the USSR.
“Russia is offering a hero’s medal and $16,000 to women who have 10 kids”
“The Russian government announced it is reviving the Soviet-era honorary title “Mother Heroine” for women who have 10 or more children, as it confronts a population decline that has accelerated since its invasion of Ukraine.
According to a decree signed this week by President Vladimir Putin, the title will be awarded to those who “birth and raise” 10 Russian citizens, with a lump sum of 1 million Russian rubles ($16,645) received when the 10th child turns one. “
Looks like the muscleman population in Orcland will increase significantly.

Long thread. Only posting beginning.
Wouldn’t be surprised they are producing BMP-2s because they can’t get parts to produce BMP-3, BMP-4.
BMP-2 was last produced in 2006. 16 years ago. Alot of work to set up production line for BMP-2.
https://twitter.com/HN_Schlottman/status/1560087928348545025
“1/ TASS: Executive director of Kurganmashzavod (KMZ) appears to have been asked by the Russian MOD to resume production of “earlier generation BMPs”, likely meaning BMP-2’s (overhauls and possibly new builds). Currently, they produce mainly BMP-3’s/BMD-4M’s. Possible explanation”
“3/ Last run of new build BMP-2’s for Russian military was 2005-2006, last for export 2002. Spare parts production continued to maintain existing vehicles. Upgrade programs also existed, the most significant/successful being the BMP-2M.”
Paying a monthly bonus for each child AFTER the 4th would be more effective.
“I wonder if this was counter-battery or random target acquisition?”
UA had a drone overhead. So I assume it was artillery corrected by the drone.
