Russian losses

By /

Unusually high amount of armor in today’s report. Rarely do you see these levels nowadays. Otherwise, continued high losses, but no special forces.

When it comes to artillery, one wonders how anything can still be left, we passed 45,000 a few days ago. It has been discussed quite a bit and one almost has to assume that mortars are included in the statistics, as they also belong to the artillery. Moreover, the statistics probably refer to hits on targets and not total destroyed. Much can probably be repaired and put back into combat again. Soft vehicles are over an enormous 116,000, and regarding that category, I believe it is not as easy to repair after an attack. Most end up as burnt-out wrecks.

There are also estimates of the value of destroyed equipment, and on average the war costs Russia about 100 million dollars every day in losses, and the total is up to 161 billion dollars for the entire war. That is only the cost of losses of destroyed hardware.

  • 1290 KWIA

    Increased Russian pressure overall, with the increase mainly in Donetsk, while the pressure in the north/Luhansk decreased somewhat. Ukrainian attacks also increased, with 142 attacks being at least top 10 or maybe top 5, so the ratio is still around 1.

    N Slobozhansky 3↘️, S Slobozhansky 15💥, Kupyansk 2↘️, Lyman 9💥↘️, Slovyansk 25💥💥, Kramatorsk 2, Kostyantynivka 17💥↘️, Pokrovsk 31💥💥↗️, Oleksandrivskij 7↗️, Huliaipole 38💥💥↗️, Orikhivsk 4↗️, Prydniprovskij 0,

    Localized 153↗️, Unlocalized 142↗️, Total 295↗️, Ratio unloc/loc 0.9.

      1. 205

        I largely view the Ukrainian attacks quantitatively. It is about something more and something different than Ukrainian counterattacks in response to Russian ones. These certainly occur, especially in critical situations (such as Pokrovsk before Christmas, perhaps now Konstantinivka). But the ratio reflects less well an ongoing independent Ukrainian offensive that stands on its own and is not driven by the current Russian attacks. Quantity, on the other hand, does.

        Even before the Ukrainian attacks increased sharply, the Russians had difficulty advancing – that is, Ukrainian defense does not stand or fall with the number of Ukrainian attacks. Otherwise, all of Ukraine would have been invaded long ago.

        And a ratio therefore does not say as much as quantity: if the Russians went down to ten attacks, twenty Ukrainian attacks would not be so impressive, despite a ratio of 2. It is more impressive with 142 Ukrainian attacks despite a lower ratio.

        1. MXT

          Yes, you are of course right that the ratio by itself does not give the whole picture, but together with a high total as it was today (and also continued high loss figures for Russia) one understands that something is happening (and in fact has been for a while).

    The login was cranky this morning, but persistence pays off.

    Found a news item that doesn’t seem to have appeared in Swedish-language media. The South Karelia District Court has sentenced an entrepreneur from Vyborg to over 3 years in prison for delivering vehicles to Russia, which on paper had the final destination Turkey and Kazakhstan. He and the company are also to pay fines and forfeit profits, over 6 million euros.

        It should serve well as a deterrent example for other entrepreneurs with questionable morals. Now we just need a Swedish court case as well.

          But it’s tougher to bash Volvo. Just like a certain other engineer who got upset when they had to leave them in Gothenburg.

          It’s probably Snart that is owned by Geely.

          I wonder if it’s better that Tata in India owns Land Rover and Jaguar? They seem to like Russians too.

          You heard it here first: one of the German carmakers will become partly owned by the Chinese, it’s only a matter of time because of Germany’s car industry and their crisis.

          1. Pehr

            There was a Swedish consortium that wanted to buy VCC but Ford chose Geely.
            I believe that Geely could very well consider, at least, reducing their ownership if they received a good offer.
            VCC is, by the way, one of their companies that actually generates profit.

    It is time for Europe, with Sweden at the forefront, to ensure that it ends its dependence primarily on China by making sure to mine and refine the raw materials found in our own bedrock and not listen to the short-sighted and self-absorbed message from those who think it is better for them to remain in the ground here, only to be mined under truly appalling working and environmental conditions in other parts of the world, while at the same time completely compromising our political as well as strategic independence.

    For Heaven’s Sake, Dear Politicians!!! Make Sure To Wake Up And Act Already!!!

    In the Siberian region of Zabaykalsky, one of the worst affected by the fuel crisis, a new type of service has started to appear on social media. This is reported by the independent Moscow Times.

    Residents are offered, for a fee, to have their car towed across the border to China, where it is refueled and then returned.

    The price in the ads ranges between the equivalent of 8.18 kronor per liter for diesel and 12.02 kronor per liter for gasoline, and must be paid in Chinese yuan. Refilling of ten-liter jerrycans is also offered, but without a guarantee that they will be allowed through Chinese customs.

    Zabaykalsky has had an acute fuel crisis since June 25 due to Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities.

    Sales in the region are limited to 15 liters per person per day, and kilometer-long queues snake from the gas stations. Residents are forced to queue for up to 36 hours.

      “The number of traffic jams in Russia’s capital Moscow has increased sharply in the wake of the ongoing fuel crisis, reports the exile Russian newspaper The Moscow Times.

      Over the past two weeks, the number of traffic jams has increased by between 15 and 20 percent.

      The problems are especially noticeable on the major highways. The worst traffic is during the morning and evening rush hours.

      Several gas stations in Moscow, where about 13 million people live, have completely run out of gasoline. At the stations that still have fuel, the waiting time to refuel can be between 20 minutes and two hours.
      https://omni.se/trafikstockningar-okar-i-moskva-efter-branslebrist/a/k0dWGX

      – The situation is bad. There are queues everywhere. In some places there is no gasoline at all – you can drive past three gas stations that are completely empty, a woman tells the newspaper.”

      1. maggan

        Shouldn’t there be fewer traffic disruptions if there is no fuel? Or is it the queues at the empty gas stations that are disrupting the flow?

    “Russia may carry out its first major mobilization of soldiers since 2022 this autumn. This is stated by Lieutenant Colonel Johan Huovinen in an interview with TT.

    – To achieve a military decisive outcome on the battlefield, it is necessary. It would put pressure on the front, he says.

    The Kremlin carried out a mobilization at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, which more or less forced 300,000 Russians into the war. But in recent years, Russian authorities have instead relied on voluntary recruitment by offering financial bonuses and other benefits.

    However, at home, resistance to the war in the neighboring country is growing. At the end of last year, the number of Russians signing military contracts dropped by 35 percent, according to IStories, an exile Russian site for investigative journalism.

    Moreover, the Russian forces are struggling to advance in Ukraine, and the front lines have basically stood still in recent months.”

    Russian authorities are having major problems recruiting soldiers for the war in Ukraine. From Penza in western Russia, there are now alarms that men are being forcibly recruited into the military, reports Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

    In several cases, relatives testify that men have been taken away and subjected to violence and pressure to sign contracts.

    – This is completely unacceptable. People are basically being abducted, says Lyudmila. She claims that her husband was arrested on a street in the city of Kamenka and recruited against his will.

    Several lawyers and human rights organizations confirm the picture and argue that illegal methods have become increasingly common to get men to sign the contracts.

    – Often you don’t need to beat or torture a person. It is enough to scare them with the possible consequences for themselves or their families, says lawyer Artyom Klyga.

      That is probably why they are closing the borders both to the south and to the west, to prevent people from fleeing when they are forcibly mobilized to die for Putin in the bunker.

      When darkness falls over Russia, a light begins to dawn on the Russians; maybe things are not going as well as the propaganda says down in Ukraine. And presumably, information is spreading about the expected lifespan of those who end up on the front lines.

    “It is becoming difficult for the Ukrainian military to motivate new soldiers during training, writes Kyiv Independent.

    There is a big difference compared to 2022, when the military was full of motivated people who were always ready to go into battle. Now many of the recruits are older and have health problems, according to the officers.

    According to Commander Ihor, it is important to help new recruits become confident in fighting, while at the same time being honest with them about the brutality of war.

    – The most important thing is to survive the first fear. Then it becomes easier. If they are not interested, it goes in one ear and out the other.”

    Operation Turn Off the Light many said was impossible.

    Then it was POLITICALLY impossible for us in the West.

    Now you see how it should have happened already in 2023

      The correct answer is STARVATION.
      The irrigation does not work because the pumps run on diesel, and it is also not possible to harvest for the same reason.

    The Baltic Extradition: upon Donahue’s dismissal (Hegseth), Poland/Baltics are extradited.

    “Donahue simultaneously bears responsibility for NATO’s Allied Land Command – responsible for the alliance’s land forces along the eastern flank, including Poland and the Baltics.

    His sudden resignation in the midst of the war against Ukraine affects the European partners at a moment when they are already concerned about the reliability of the US commitment precisely on this flank.”
