Ukraine Weapons Tracker - Backup

📣 Well, it looks to be over. 📣 Tonight, without any prior announcements, Twitter has disabled any access to tweets withot login. This means that the bot can't retrieve the data anymore, so I am shutting it down. I'll keep the channels, but there will be no updates unless Twitter reverses its decision or I will find a way to bypass this limitation (which is unlikely). It's very ironic and sad to see how two big platforms, Twitter and Reddit, go down the closure pass simultaneousely. Thank you for staying here for all this time.

(#) #Ukraine: A Russian T-62M tank drove over a quite obvious row of TM-62 anti-tank mines near Bakhmut, #Donetsk Oblast. Appears that all the crew survived, although they probably had quite a bad day.

(#) #Ukraine: "If at first you don't succeed" When a Russian T-62MV repurposed as a crude VBIED was disabled by an AT mine yet drone-dropped munitions failed to destroy it, Ukrainians used an FPV loitering munition instead- to extremely explosive effect.

(#) #Ukraine: The remains of a 🇬🇧UK-supplied Storm Shadow cruise missile used by the Ukrainian Air Force to strike the Berdyansk airfield today. This particular missile didn't hit its target. If this was shot down by Russian air defense systems, it would be the first known example.

(#) #Ukraine: The Ukrainian forces continue to receive Serbian 🇷🇸 ammunition - this time M62P10 120mm HE-frag mortar bombs were spotted in thehands of Ukrainian troops. These particular ones were produced in 2023 (!) by the state-owned Krušik company located in Valjevo.

(#) #Ukraine: The Ukrainian SBU "Alpha" destroyed two Russian tanks and damaged another T-80BV tank during recent fighting- including the use of FPV loitering munitions.

(#) Kriegsforscher: Our company using FPV drones managed to destroy Russian BMP-2 (not only this one, U will see more). Our folks used 3 drones: firstly they made this BMP immobile and then destroyed. Average price of one FPV — 350$. The price of BMP-2 — 300 K$.

(#) #Ukraine: The Ukrainian 47th Mechanised Brigade captured a Russian T-72B3 tank during the ongoing offensive in #Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

(#) #Ukraine: 🇵🇱Polish-donated PT-91 "Twardy" tanks in service with the new Ukrainian 22nd Mechanized Brigade. In total Poland committed to transfer 60 of these modernized T-72 platforms this year.

(#) #Ukraine: South of Novopetrivka, #Donetsk Oblast, Ukrainian forces destroyed a Russian SAM system- as claimed, a Buk-M1(-2) TELAR.

(#) #Ukraine: On the left bank of the Dnipro River, just outside Oleshky, #Kherson Oblast, a Russian BMD-2 airborne IFV was destroyed after running into AT mines- likely remotely deployed by Ukrainian forces, or even placed by Russian forces.

(#) #Ukraine: Six previously unseen losses of Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA infantry fighting vehicles, South of Mala Tokmachka, #Zaporizhzhia Oblast - at least two IFVs were destroyed and 4 were damaged and abandoned.

(#) #Ukraine: The Ukrainian National Guard destroyed a Russian BMD-4M airborne IFV with a loitering munition in #Donetsk Oblast.

(#) #Ukraine: A Russian Strela-10 short-range air defense system was destroyed by a GMRLS strike of the Ukrainian Army, North of Kodema, #Donetsk Oblast.

(#) #Russia: A Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter (72 Yellow, RF-13418) was reportedly shot down by Wagner forces near Talovaya, #Voronezh Oblast. The crew was killed.

(#) #Russia: A Russian Il-22M communications aircraft (reportedly RF-75917) was shot down by Wagner forces in #Voronezh Oblast.

(#) #Russia: A helicopter (presumably Mi-8MTPR-1) of the Russian Ministry of Defense was shot down by Wagner forces today in #Voronezh Oblast. Two of these electronic warfare helicopters were reportedly shot down in total.

(#) #Ukraine:A Ukrainian CAESAR 155mm self-propelled howitzer was destroyed by a Russian Lancet loitering munition in #Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The driver avoided the first drone, flipping over the SPH, but the second one managed to hit it later leading to the destruction of the vehicle.

(#) #Ukraine: A Ukrainian BM-21 Grad 122mm multiple rocket launcher was destroyed by a Russian Lancet loitering munition in #Donetsk Oblast.

(#) #Ukraine: In Tavriya, #Zaporizhzhia Oblast, the Ukrainian 128th Mountain Assault Brigade hit a Russian ISDM Zemledeliye remote mine-laying system with an artillery strike- fragments penetrated the launching assembly, igniting the rockets onboard.
