Russian losses in Ukraine

Today’s report on yesterday’s Russian losses is somewhat lower with under 1000 injured and wounded soldiers, only four losses of armor, but we still have a significant 44 artillery and 185 soft vehicles as well as 2 special.

• 960 KWIA
• 2 Tanks
• 2 AFVs
• 44 Artillery systems
• 1 MLRS
• 1 Air defense system
• 1528 UAVs
• 185 Vehicles and Fuel tanks
• 2 Special equipment

Russian activities

The General Staff’s report on front activities provides an explanation for the lower losses. Even though the Easter ceasefire did not mean an end to all fighting, it seems that Easter was still celebrated. Unusually few battles, about half of the normal amount. No reported KIA at all (apparently the air force got some rest). The number of grenades is about a third. However, suicide drones were still active, although at a lower rate than usual.

• 107 battles
• 1202 grenades (including 20 from MLRS)
• 7702 suicide drones

Election in Hungary – Orbán suffered a major defeat

Péter Magyar and his party Tisza won decisively against Viktor Orbán and his party Fidesz in coalition with KDNP.
Tisza obtained 138 seats in parliament while Orbán’s side had to settle for 55. The far-right party (considered extreme right by some) Mi Hazánk Mozgalom managed to secure 8 seats.

The overwhelming victory means that Tisza has a supermajority (the threshold is at 133) and can therefore implement extensive reforms including amending certain laws, etc., without having to negotiate with any other parties. Of course, he must still keep the 138 together, as many were individually voted in, so it may still require some internal diplomacy to get everyone to agree.

Not all votes have been counted yet, but only 1.06% remains, so it will not make any difference.

Orbán conceded defeat last night and congratulated Magyar. It seems that he, despite all fears, will relinquish power without complications. Both sides accused each other of electoral fraud yesterday, but the election seems to have proceeded calmly overall.

It makes one wonder, could it be that the people under 16 years of age have actually voluntarily allowed themselves to be governed by Orbán, so that previous elections have actually been conducted fairly (except for him, of course, having full control over the media to influence the population).

Anyway, it’s incredibly reassuring that it went the right way!
Now we are just waiting for confirmation that Hungary will approve the EU’s latest aid package for Ukraine!

(When it’s time for elections in Russia, I hope Vance also goes there to show his support for Putin!)

Russian losses October 20, 2023 – A nostalgic trip

Do you remember October 20, 2023?
It was a real highlight in terms of Russian losses. Not a record in terms of KWIA even though it was high, but at that time Russia had plenty of equipment and dared to use it. On this particular day, a record was set for armor losses, which still stands today. A total of 175 units.
The whole of October is a record month that probably will never be repeated in terms of armor losses.

During October, a total of 520 tanks and 820 other armored vehicles were lost.
That’s more than what most countries have in total for their defense.

War in Iran

The US attack on Iran did not happen yesterday as the parties agreed to a two-week ceasefire and a ten-point plan. What is included in that ten-point plan seems unclear, and it appears that different sides have different interpretations. Both sides, however, are completely convinced that they are the winners.

Of course, Trump declares himself the winner but seems unable to explain what the peace plan entails. It must be good, of course, otherwise he wouldn’t have agreed to it (brilliant logic there). Those against Trump mock him, calling him TACO and claiming he chickened out. Quite amusing, considering it’s essentially the same people who were horrified when he threatened to bomb Iran to bits and therefore must resign. Now, I agree with them that his threats were horrible, but regarding TACO, I believe this time he did the right thing by backing down. At least if the intention was indeed to strike hard at everything in Iran.

Those who support Trump praise him for his scare tactics he usually employs in negotiations and argue that it worked well. They fail to realize that it could have easily backfired and forced him to carry out what he threatened or appear as a coward.

As I mentioned, I think it’s good that the US decided not to raze Iran to the ground.
At the same time, it’s clear that if these two weeks lead to an end to the war, one must conclude that the war has been almost entirely pointless as it has cost significantly more than what it has achieved. Iran has indeed lost a considerable part of its military capacity and may not have been able to support Russia in the same way as before (uncertain to what extent this has happened recently). Knocking out parts of the regime actually has no significance as long as they are replaced; it may even have the opposite effect. They will likely be even harsher on the population. The US called for uprisings, and even if it didn’t happen, repression is likely to increase to ensure it doesn’t occur.

The regime has now received confirmation that control over the Strait of Hormuz gives them a significant advantage (do they even need nuclear weapons?). Those tariffs they started imposing will surely remain. Attacking neighboring countries also worked as intended since it didn’t really face much resistance. Perhaps it was because the US started the war; had Iran started, maybe there would have been different reactions.

The countries around Iran can hardly be pleased with the US either, even if they probably would like to get rid of the Iranian regime. If the war ends now, nothing has really changed, and they have seen themselves bombed by Iran completely unnecessarily.

It’s far too early to assume the war is over, but as I said, if it is, then it must be seen as a total failure where the total cost, both in terms of deaths and injuries and of course the economic impact it has had, far exceeds what has been achieved.

Possibly one of the goals can be achieved, that Iran agrees not to acquire nuclear weapons, but apparently, the respective sides’ ten-point plans differ because according to Iran, they should rather have the right to do as they please with them. No one wants Iran to have nuclear weapons, so it would be a victory if they were stopped, but even if they sign an agreement prohibiting them from developing nuclear weapons, there is no guarantee they will follow the agreement. If they were even close to developing functional nuclear weapons in the first place.

We’ll see what happens after those two weeks.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned the Baltic states, claiming that Ukraine is allowed to use their airspace to attack Russia and its ports. The Baltic states have repeatedly denied this. One might wonder why Russia is so agitated about it when they themselves have used Belarus to attack Ukraine, not only through air strikes but also with ground troops. They are such hypocrites that it is laughable.
I think the Baltic states should instead come out and say that it is completely OK for Ukraine to use their airspace so we can cross that red line too.

For those who are convinced that Russia will attack any of the Baltic states, this can of course be seen as a way for them to legitimize such an attack, “It is absolutely necessary to eliminate all threats and protect Russia!”

Number of battles compared to some other losses

To see the relationship between the number of battles and other Russian losses, I have cut and pasted some screenshots from Ragnar’s statistics. (Thanks Ragnar). It gets a bit messy but I hope it is clear enough. There is only statistics from February 23, 2023 when it comes to battles, so I have not been able to go further back than that. It also becomes very messy if you look at it per day. Therefore, I have divided it into two time periods. A shorter one per day and then one for the whole period but then per week. What I have compared is losses of tanks, other armor (AFVs), and manpower (KWIA).

Battles and Russian losses from January 1, 2025, per day

Here you can immediately see that at the beginning of 2025, the losses of manpower, tanks, and other armor were highest for the period, while the number of battles was somewhat lower and partly below average. The number of battles does not correlate during this period with the size of the losses in general. However, looking at individual days, you can sometimes see that they coincide (but not always).

Battles and Russian losses from February 23, 2023, per week

Looking at a longer time perspective, it looks a bit different. Between 2023 and until around the end of 2024, the number of battles and the losses of manpower follow each other and we have a correlation. Tanks and other armor also follow the number of battles but deviate a bit into 2024. While KWIA and battles continue to increase, armor levels off and begins to decrease. Towards the end, we can also see in the image above, that battles increase and are above average while armor is low and KWIA is around average.

Here is the same data as above but I have instead overlaid the graphs. It becomes both clearer and at the same time more messy. What you see is that tanks and other armor follow each other well over time, although there are also some variations. Here it becomes even clearer that the number of battles was significantly lower in 2023 than it is now. The losses are also higher than at the beginning of the period but have not followed to the same extent, and both tanks and other armor have instead plummeted. NOTE! The curves are only correct in relation to each other in scale but not in value. The Y-axis values apply only to the number of battles.

Realizing now when I uploaded the images that I should have included a time scale at the bottom, but at the same time, the purpose was more to see how the curves follow (or do not follow) each other.
