All the way back to 2022, and exact same day holds 34 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦 . Among them this Ural-43206 capture in Lyman with infamous ШУ-ДЕ inscription on it. We took somewhat closer look at 🇷🇺 inscription nomenclature in this Twitter 🧵 back in 2023: x.com/WarSpotting/...

4/4

Further back to 2023, and the same day holds 7 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them this BTR-82AT chased and hit by FPV halfway between Kherson and Krynky. Marginally interesting is the number plate on Niva that accompanied it by Sep 2024: 123 🇷🇺 region code suggests Krasnodar Krai.

3/4

Fast rewind to 2024, and the same day now holds 14 confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them this 'Kasta-2E1' surveillance radar — both antenna and command vehicle — receiving HIMARS hit deep behind the line in Luhansk oblast, one of only two losses of the type as of now.

2/4

Mildly interesting factoid of the day: Sep 2022 alone yielded nearly as many (1158) confirmed 🇷🇺 losses as 9 months of 2026 (1171) 🤯

3/3

With last 3 months' trajectory like this, are we looking at conventional 🇷🇺 losses potentially down to near zero by the end of the year? Unlikely — although not impossible 🫣

2/3

All the way back to 2022, and exact same day now holds 34 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦 . Among them not one but two Ka-52 'Alligator' attack helicopters, both from Polohy raion some 50km apart.

4/4

Further back to 2023, and the same day, once again, holds 4 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them this 🤔 case of MT-LB retrofitted with 140mm A-22 'Ogon' naval MRL, one of only 2 losses of the kind, both from late 2023 in Kherson oblast, and apparently both product of the same mind.

3/4

Fast rewind to 2024, and the same day now holds 15 confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Believe it or not, among them BMP-3 688A-sb6-2KP — in fact, two of them — with exactly the same kind of damage, this time in South Pokrovsk raion.

2/4

All the way back to 2022, and exact same day now holds 28 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦 . Among them unusual assortment of command vehicles of all kinds: R-145BM, R-145BM1, 1V14, and R-431AM antenna module for 'Redut-2US' — mostly from Kharkiv oblast of course.

4/4

Further back to 2023, and the same day holds 18 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them this 'Nona-S' doing its typical epic 💥 thing after several FPV hits in a row in central Volnovakha raion.

3/4

Fast rewind to 2024, and the same day holds 14 confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them this curious case of Orion combat UAV crashing into construction warehouse in Taganrog for the reasons unknown.

2/4

All the way back to 2022, and exact same day now holds 25 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦 — very much week's worth of losses these days — nearly all of them (22) from Kharkiv oblast. Among the rest this T-72B1K variant in Sviatohirsk, one of only 7 recorded losses, most of them from 2022.

4/4

Further back to 2023, and the same day only holds 6 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them these two S-300V4 components somewhere in Luhansk oblast, although both apparently lost much earlier.

3/4

Fast rewind to 2024, and the same day holds 8 confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them this BMP-3 doing epic 💥, also in Kursk oblast.

2/4

All the way back to 2022, and exact same day now holds whopping 58 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦, most of them (56) of course from Kharkiv oblast, mostly captures (30). Perhaps the most 😱 was this scene in the outskirts of Balakliia with up to 30 vehicles on it destroyed spectacularly.

4/4

Further back to 2023, and the same day, once again, holds 8 visually confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them this what looks like small yield nuclear explosion but, in fact, is 'Msta-S' doing epic 💥 in West Volnovakha raion.
