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.

Bayraktar, what you gonna do when they come for you. Bayraktar.
“The first video of a Bayraktar TB-2 “Vanagas” UCAV fundraised by Lithuanians in action - here targeting the personnel of a Russian artillery battery. Contrary to some claims, TB-2 appear to still be operating in an offensive role, not just long range reconnaissance.”

••Military Situation:
Alleged Orc offensive that started yesterday didn’t gain much traction so far - based on the results we see on the front lines
••It is unknown about their reserves on the Russian side. There are some reserves that were formed from each region - we spoke about them some time ago: each region is supposed to contribute battalion to refill Russian ranks. Many regions did not contribute, many regions contributed a battalion, that’s like three 200-400 soldiers strong which is obviously not fully refilling the ranks.
The most important part is that these units each region forms, they are more like Ukrainian militia during the initial initial phase of the war meaning: low-skill, low initiative, low motivation type of units, like forced conscripts in many ways.
We don’t think that’s really solving the problem, not to mention that it’s probably gonna give Russian troops about 15,000 people, maybe even less, maybe even 10,000; so it’s not really not moving the needle.
The unknown part of equation are there more motivated troops on the Russian side? We believe there is none, but we don’t see the cards of the Russian command and could be could be surprised.

Summary:
Minor Russian territorial gains on Kherson bridgehead (village Blagodatne), and near Nevelske.
Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead: no changes
- North Donbass area: no changes
- Donetsk West:
Russian troops gained control of area between Nevelske and Pisky.
- Kherson bridgehead:
Russian troops captured southern portion of village Blagodatne near Snigurivka-Mykolayiv road.
The goal of the attack is unclear, the best explanation is to increase buffer zone around Snigurivka.
———————————————————————————————————————
1. Kharkiv: No changes.
••North of Kharkiv quieter than usual.
••Local tactical fighting continue
2. Izyum bridgehead: No changes.
••Orc attacks continue. Harassing attacks to keep UA troops in place.
3. North Donbass: No changes.
••Orc attacks repulsed.
4. West of Donetsk:
••Orc attacks repulsed. But have bridged UA main defensive lines previously. Still fighting along Piskey area of M40 road.
••Orc attack toward Marinka could be dangerous and form a salient, if successful.
5. Vugledar - Velyka Novosilka, Gulyapole:
••Relatively quiet.
6. Kherson bridgehead:
••Things not going well for UA. Orcs cut the road from Snihurivka in the east running to Mykolaiv in the west. Looks like a significant advance. They were stopped at the outskirts of Blagodatne.
This all goes back to: how effective is the depleting of Orc artillery ammo supplies. Indicates that the strategy does not work. Indicates also, in WiU’s opinion, the destruction of Orc trained artillery crews is more important, as they are not easily replaced.
Attacks on bridges & Orc supplies, fuel, ammo have been worked around by changing distribution, proving the UA strategy was misguided in the first place.
Snihurivka salient created some days ago by the Orc 108th/ 7th AD forms a pocket wit this new salient, forcing the UA Majority 28th back or get surrounded.
The explanation is to create a buffer so the troops that were supplied by the destroyed bridges, can be resupplied from the east side of the river using the bridge at Snihurivka. But potential there is something more in play here.

What air defense doing?
“The Antonovskiy Bridge in Kherson has been struck again this morning. I’ve lost count how many times now, what air defense doing?”

I don’t see Dugin’s daughter on your list
IIR...imaging infra red set to “black hot”. Or as the Army would say “We own the night”..
Tactic not working - Orcs creating another supply route by pushing UA back by several kilonmetes at the Snihurivka bridge. and forming a new salient. UA in trouble here.
Posted that yesterday.
Some reports say a bridge span has actually been dropped this time. Not merely damaged. No idea if so.
An open question for you witless repetitive zipperheads.
On what recent US foreign policy success story do you rely upon to justify yet another one? Four thousand miles away on Russia’s border.
Iraq? Libya? Syria? Afghanistan?
This seems to good to be true.... but...
“Ukrainian forces destroyed a whole convoy of Russian logistics crossing the Antonivskyi bridge when the bridge was hit.
Reportedly the trucks were carrying ammunition.”
