#Ukraine: Crazy amounts of Russian losses in S. #Kharkiv Oblast; mostly from the end of last month. We have removed everything that we have already posted- but there may be a few accidental duplications.
First, 2x 9T244 loaders, and a 9A331 TLAR (for the 9K331 Tor-M1 SAM system)
(You will have to bear with this thread, as it will be long) A couple of fuel trucks, a Medevac/Ambulance Ural truck, a cargo truck.
Another truck, possibly with a crane or similar equipment, a cargo truck, a completely destroyed T-72 variant (Possibly seen before), a R-149AKSh-1 command and signal vehicle.
Another cargo truck, another fuel truck, Kamaz truck with KS-45719-7M crane, a R-149MA1 command vehicle.
Another R-149AKSh-1 command and signal vehicle, another (likely) command truck, BTR-82A, MT-LBVM which can likely can be repaired.
Yet another R-149MA1 command vehicle, fuel truck, a completely destroyed BMP-3, another BTR-82A.
A (likely) command truck, destroyed MT-LBVM, BMP-2 (possibly previously seen), another burned out BTR-82A.
A cargo truck, an ex-cargo truck, BTR-82A with turret removal, another BTR-82A.
A rarely seen and quite archaic ZU-23-4 "Shilka" SPAAG, an ex-BMP variant (Quite possibly already seen), a fuel truck.
And finally a fresh entrant in the turret throwing competition; a T-72B3 tank.
And that's the end of this particular locale; but there is going to be more to come. Apologies if there is any duplications; this was very large.

#Ukraine: Serious Russian losses posted by the Operational Command "East" of the Ukrainian Army, from the last few days- none of which we have previously posted. Two T-72B3 tanks and two BTR-82A seen here (Note one with RP-377VM IED jammer)
Some slightly older losses: no less than four BMP-3, three of which are in operable condition.
Another T-72B3, abandoned along with a TMM-3M2 heavy mechanized bridge.
#Ukraine: Massive losses by the Russian Army after their retreats in #Kharkiv Oblast.
Note that some of these; T-72B3, possibly the DT-30 have been noted already. We can see firstly no less than 7x MT-LBVM armoured vehicles (4x in this tweet).
Three more MT-LBVM here, along with 3x 9M336 missiles for the 9K333 Verba MANPADS, among the most modern of these Russian systems.
#Ukraine: Something fascinating from #Kyiv; tho used against a land target, it seems that Ru used an 3M-51 "Alfa" anti-ship missile, which has secondary land-attack capabilities. Likely what we see is the the subsonic carrier stage of the 3-stage 3M-51.
3P-51 markings seen denotes it is a propulsive stage of a Ru Naval missile: Either the subsonic carrier stage of the 3-stage 3M-51 Alfa, carrier stage of a 3M-54 anti-ship/land attack missile, which has used parts from a 3M-51, or a 3M-14 LACM that has used parts from a 3M-51.
Another pic that shows most of the rest of the 'missile' quite intact in a crater suggests the 3P-51 marked section is likely from the carrier stage of a 3M-51, though reuse of certain parts on a 3M-54 is possible.
So, Ru is using a missile usually for ships on land targets.
#Ukraine: Earlier today, it is claimed that a Russian jet (Said to be Su-30SM, but no proof for this ID is yet available) was shot down by a Ukrainian Osa-AKM short range SAM system.
Footage here shows the hit from the perspective of the UA SAM operators; seems to be successful.
[We thank @oryxspioenkop for alerting us to this. We will update with more as we have it]
Images have been posted of what was shot down.
According to our research, this appears to be a TRDD-50AT or very similar engline, which is used with Russian cruise missiles, such as the Kh-59M, Kh-59MK, and Kh-35; so not as significant as a jet fighter but a real shootdown.
#Ukraine: In Borodianka, #Kyiv Oblast, the Ukrainian Territorial Defence Forces again raided Russian supply lines, taking out 3 trucks, capturing 4 more; including a Zil-131 Command Post & a truck loaded with ~40 122mm "Grad" rockets (Claimed to intended for use against the city)
One more truck, which appeared to crash when it came under fire. Another image can be seen of a dead Russian Army driver, which we will not share.
More pics have arrived of the capture by the Armed Forces of #Ukraine from the Russians; including what appears to be 280mm rockets (For the BM-30 Smerch and similar systems), 1986 dated PG-7L & more.
The loss of the rockets could effect Russian efforts to to hit the city.
