Here's the latest updates to documented material #Russia losses in #Ukraine as of today, and a brief overview of the past month in the micro-🧵 Image
Although April might seem not that different from the past, it actually is, with total 203 recorded losses compared to 306 in March, and 347 in February. Image
'50% drop' would sound overly optimistic for #Russian MoD, though. That's still nearly a tank, a truck, over 2 IFVs each and every day, and occasional IMVs, SPGs, MRLs, helicopters and whatever else #RuAF can sustain every now and then.

3/ Dopo che il comando ucraino è stato costretto a trasferire significative riserve sul fronte meridionale per salvare il controllo di Ugledar, la difesa ucraina sulle linee del fronte Nord del Donbass ha iniziato a crollare.

Donbass - Fronte Nord: Bakhmut/Artemovsk
Dal 10 gennaio: netta diminuzione del fuoco di artiglieria NATO/Kiev:

⏬ 2/4
Inoltre, in Ucraina si è verificata una grave crisi logistica: in particolare, problemi di approvvigionamento per gli obici semoventi 2S1 Gvozdika e 2S3 Akatsiya (di origine sovietica), che mancavano di munizioni e pezzi di ricambio.

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣ Good, bad, or ugly, one thing's for sure: this year turned nothing like #Russia was hoping it would be. With ~26 average confirmed daily losses, it seems to have become one of the greatest material dumps in recent history. Or has it? Let's find out 🧵
But first: while average figures are quite reliable, daily counts not so much, since loss dates are almost never known accurately. Good example is Mar 30, seemingly the worst day with 166 recorded losses: ukr.warspotting.net/search/?bellig…
Most of them didn't happen on that day, though, only discovered as #RuAF was 'regrouping' away from north #Ukraine. This applies to many more entries on our list with few exceptions. One of them: infamous river crossing attempt near Bilohorivka in mid May.

Let's take a look at the topography of #Severodonetsk and examine the role it is playing in the battle for the city.

#Severodonetsk is flanked to the SW by hills running along the Donets River that are between 300-500 feet higher than the city as shown in the topo map below. 🧵
This offers a series of advantages to whoever holds the hills. Some of those assets are: Observation, better cover, excellent firing positions, ability to fire from defilade, and one of the most important assets in this battle, the ability to observe and adjust artillery fire.
#Ukrainian troops have been using the hills along the Donets to shield their artillery from observation & fire behind the cover and concealment of the hillside. This is also known as firing from defilade. Essentially, using the trajectory of a round to hit an unobservable target.

#Lyman Axis - #Russian forces have likely already captured or are in the process of capturing Svyatohirs'k, after the bridge SE to the Donets River was destroyed, This cut off all supplies or reinforcements. Bridge destruction was confirmed via video below.
#NASA #FIRMS 24 hour data shows huge fires in Svyatohirsk & Bohorodychne, especially when considering the cities small size. This indicates that some type of shelling or other explosive discharges are very concentrated on these two cities. This is likely #RuAF artillery fire.
Video clearly shows the Monastery on the #Ukrainian controlled side across the river from Svyatohirsk that has dropped its last section into the water. The #UAF needed this bridge to keep a resistance in the city supplied and reinforced. It is now lost.

#Severodonetsk - #Ukraine suffered a major setback to its counterattack in the last day & has been pushed back into the industrial zone in the W of the city. #Russian forces have advanced forward of previous lines but a blistering artillery barrage from both sides is underway.
#NASA FIRMS 24 hours data shows that huge sections of the city were on fire today, which is an indicator of shelling or explosives. The shelling appears to be from #Ukraine & #Russian directed at both forward units and resupply and command control areas of the opposite side.
This artillery barrage is creating a zone between the line of contact that is essentially occupied by neither side at the moment because any soldier who is spotted in that zone is immediately hit with a massive barrage. We have updated our map to indicate the unoccupied zone.

#Severodonetsk - #Ukrainian troops pressed their advantage in the city today & pushed #Russian forces back for a second day. #UAF is now in control of around 50% of the city w/ the entire industrial zone to the W & several portions of the residential zone under #Ukraine control.
#Russia is quickly moving reinforcements towards the city to try to finish the assault, however #UAF is also moving more troops into the city to continue the counterattack. Videos of #UAF Foreign Legion operating in the city were released today.
Several #RuAF sources have confirmed the counterattack, foreign legion fighting, RuAF casualties and the intense fighting. They have also stated that #Ukraine is attempting to create a kill box in the city to cause RuAF casualties. However, these sources deny the lost territory.

#Severodonetsk - In a surprise move, #Ukraine has reinforced the city with heavily armed troops and the #UAF foreign legion & counterattacked #Russian Forces. #UAF has reportedly recaptured 20% of the city & Metolkine to the E. This was first reported by pro-#RuAF sources.
This counterattack is evidenced by #NASA FIRMS 1 day data which shows fires in Metolkine & to the NE of previous frontlines in the city. The map below indicates that fighting has dislodged #Russian forces from their previous gains & that #Ukraine has recaptured ground.
#Severodonetsk is a must capture city for #Russia, no matter the cost. Therefore, it is highly likely that #Russia will dump any remaining combat power into the city ASAP to complete the capture. #Ukraine likely realizes this and is merely trying to inflict max casualties.

#Severodonetsk - #Russian troops made further gains today capturing the cultural center (Chemists Palace of Culture), the city council building & other city administrative buildings. The mayor today said that #Ukraine controlled only 20% of the city mostly in the industrial zone.
#Ukrainian troops have started to withdraw across the river to the defenses at Lysychans'k. A contingent is holding a line in the W side but will be forced to withdraw soon. A video from today (screenshot below) was geolocated to 48.95361, 38.49073 w no fighting in the area.
The video in question shows several dead bodies that appear to be civilians. There is now way to determine who killed them from the video. It also shows that there is no fighting or #RuAF defenses in the area, which indicates the frontlines have moved further W by some distance.

#Severodonetsk - #Russian troops have made significant advances in the city today. #RUAF has advanced beyond the city concert hall & have captured government buildings in the city center. Geolocated videos show #RUAF in control of at least 50% of the city. Videos in next tweet.
Videos of #Chechen fighters from today show a tour of the city center. The blue and white roofed building has been geolocated to: 48.94644, 38.49439. The lack of fighting or tactical posture by #Chechen's indicates that the frontlines are far away from this location.
There are rumors that #Ukrainian forces have begun a general withdrawal from the NE side of the Donets River. This is likely to happen soon if it has not happened already, given that #Russian forces are now in a position to trap #UAF into pockets with no escape route to the SW.

The #UnitedStates is considering whether to send HIMARS to #Ukraine in its fight against #Russia. What is the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and could a deep strike precision guided munition tip the scales towards #Ukraine in the #UkraineRussiaWar?
HIMARS are capable of firing both rockets & missiles. The most common rocket is the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System M31A1 rocket (see below) that comes in pods of 6 rockets. These rockets can travel beyond 70km (reportedly 84km) to strike targets with an accuracy of 2m.
The M31A1 rockets have a 200 pound warhead with a variable fuse that can be used in different modes to engage different target sets. This include: point detonating (explodes when it hits), proximity fuse (explodes at 3m or 10m above ground) or delay (1m or 2m delay after impact).

#Severodonetsk - #Ukrainian troops have successfully counterattacked & removed the #Russian forces on the #Bakhmut - Lysychans'k road and have started moving supplies W on the road again. This "Road of Life" is not the only route but it is the best one the #UAF has right now.
This road is a must capture for #Russia and a must hold for the #Ukraine. If #Russia is able to re-capture & build strong defenses, #Ukraine will likely be unable to take it back anytime soon. This leaves 1 well built supply route on the Siversk to Lysychans'k road.
#Russia still has excellent observation and can fire artillery at vehicles passing along the Siversk to Lysychans'k road & #Bakhmut - Lysychans'k road. This means that all #Ukrainian resupplies will be under fire by #RUAF for miles as they pass in front of the frontlines.
