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.

••No report tomorrow and Sat- Sun? Unclear here.
••Slovakia delivered four of 16 52 cal, 155mm Zuzana self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine. Like Caesars is wheeled and will have difficulties getting around in winter. This gives UA clear advantage in 52 cal - 155mm SPGs.
••Orc use ML-20s from WWII, towed, 29 cal, 152.4mm. Last one built in 1947. Range: 10.7 miles. RPM: 3-4. Same gun used in Soviet assault guns SU-152 and ISU-152.

••These could be easily taken out by modern SPGs, but cannot because UA lack of skills, field intelligence, bureaucracy. So they are being missed used. Could have prevented fall of Pisky and Bahmut. UA has enough of quality to destroy Orc quantity. But misuses it, allowing Orcs to advance and cities to fall - as its own troops fall back to less and less defendable positions under heavy Orc artillery barrages.

Summary:
Russian troops are slowly gaining ground in Donbas.
Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead: no changes
- North Donbass area: further small advance in Bahmut (not enough information to quantify)
- Donetsk West: no changes
- Kherson bridgehead: no changes.
1. Kharkiv: No changes.
2. Izyum bridgehead. No changes.
3. North Donbass:
Further small territorial gains by Wagner mercenaries in Bahmut, achieving complete control of village Pisky west of Donetsk.
••Northern Orcs attacking in SW direction
••Hitting HQs is largely irrelevant because the command people are interchangeable and expendable. The system just replaces them from the many others. So I do not report on them. Those attacks change nothing. Wars are won on the battlefield. Makes for nice propaganda picture, but that’s all.
4. West of Donetsk: No changes.
••Most dangerous situation is Pisky and continuing attacks westward. Then they will push northward out of Piskey. UA will continue to fall back, as Orcs create a big salient. Slowly Orc progress, but still moving forward. As front moves west, UA defenses become weaker in engineering.
••Most important for Orcs to capture is Avdiyivka, closing a the small salient just north of Donetsk city.
5. Vugledar - Velyka Novosilka - Gulyapole stretch of frontline.
Renewed Russian attacks in V. Novosilka.
••Means they are trying to renew southern pincer. Weakly engineered UA defenses. Orcs using 429th/19th D. Are other troops there, but are unknown.
6. Kherson bridgehead: No changes.
••This situation not anywhere near as important as in Donetsk and Donbas. If the Orcs achieve a breakthrough to the north, the UA will have a major strategic problem and threatens a collapse of the front line.
Russian forces continue to make incremental progress along the Siversk-Bakhmut defense line even according to pro-Ukrainian sources;
There is no sign of any Ukrainian offensive around Kherson, even according to the Western media;
Another US-supplied HIMARS has been destroyed according to the Russian MoD, that is now 8 out of 16 sent to Ukraine destroyed;
The Pentagon is now struggling to explain why it is unable to supply Ukraine with sufficient weapons needed to execute the ever-pending “Kherson Offensive” yet to materialize;
Claims made by the Pentagon regarding the effectiveness of various weapon systems sent have been contradicted by recently discovered documents from the US military itself;
The US Army claims the effectiveness of common US anti-tank weapons like the Javelin and the AT-4 is around 19% among trained US soldiers. This would be much lower among Ukrainian troops;
The Western media has decided to assign credit to Ukraine for a recent explosion in Crimea despite Kiev denying any involvement;
Ukraine is shelling Zaporozhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in an attempt to force Russian troops to leave through international pressure;

“Ruins of the Wagner base in Popasna.

imho the big news today was reports that the ukes used himars to the hit on wagner headquarters. that’s big because it looks like the wager group is the most effective military group in the russian army. that is, it looks like its the wagner group that is making small but steady gains on the southern side of the donbass salient.
It may well be that they are effective because they don’t need so much command and control as the rest of the Russian army. So now we’ll see how they do without so much command and control.
“Another US-supplied HIMARS has been destroyed according to the Russian MoD, that is now 8 out of 16 sent to Ukraine destroyed;”
According to RuSZZian MOD. Enough said.
Go eat your Borschit, Dirty RuZZian
God tier and game changers are garbo.
They will not be missed as they are taken out one by one, so sayeth the 1000s of rounds of Russian artillery being dropped per 24 hours, days in a row. Let me know when them God tier game changing HIMARs can do that, kkthx. Oh wait, cause they can’t!
Several reports today say that the Russians have started retreating from their untenable positions in Kherson. SIGINT shows the Orc puppet government in Kherson has evacuated across the Dneiper due to numerous assassinations by Ukrainian resistance fighters.
so close...
“Footage showing that the Russian Air Force Ka-52 attack helicopter was indeed hit by Ukrainian fire, possibly a MANPADS.
It seems that the crew probably survived, but the aircraft is unlikely to fly again any time soon.”

According to my count the Russians have destroyed at least eighty of the sixteen HIMARS sent to Ukraine.
“Video of a UAV from Ukraine’s 24th Mechanized Brigade dropping a munition on Russian soldiers.”
Do that at scale so that every uke soldier has a cheap uav instead of a gun and the russians don’t have an army. The ukes just hang out in their trenches playing video games while the uke general staff keeps a steady the supply chain full with a steady flow of cheap uav’s to the soldiers.
You don’t even have to do that for the whole front line. Just do it for 20-0 miles at a time. Once all the russians are cleared out of a front line—the ukes advance.
Nor do they advance blind.
They just move their video games forward.
Long Live Zelenskyyidiot.
Long Live Ukraine.
