01 Combat losses attributed to the AFU by the RuMOD in May 2023 and May 2024, compared side by side.
Data gathered by the project lostarmour.info
AFU losses increased by:
• 2.4 times in manpower
• 1.6 times in tanks
• 0.8 times in armored vehicles (i.e. fewer losses by 20%)
• 1.2 times in transport vehicles
• 2.8 times in artillery pieces | 64 | 0 | Loading... |
02 Apparently, US CENTCOM has reported that USS Gravely (DDG-107) has been targeted by Houthi anti-ship ballistic missiles. No word on any direct impacts.
In other news, the Dwight D. Eisenhower has reportedly moved to Jeddah, which is around 650+ km from the Yemen border. This puts the aircraft carrier outside the range of known Houthi anti-ship cruise and ballistic missiles, but within range of air operations over Yemen.
The fact that the Dwight D. Eisenhower has repositioned itself to this location strongly suggests that the Houthis have at least earnestly tried to target the aircraft carrier, and/or that CENTCOM is taking precautions to prevent such a thing from happening. Meaning, that CENTCOM believes that such a thing, if it has not already occurred, is certainly within the realm of possibility.
Should the entire NATO naval group reposition 600+ km from Yemen, it will be that much more difficult to conduct any operations in the Red Sea, and all but impossible to protect shipping. | 63 | 0 | Loading... |
03 The Houthis claim that they have targeted the USS Eisenhower with missiles (again), as well as at least one other US warship.
Said 'other US warship' was allegedly hit with drones.
Houthis claim to have successfully hit at least two US warships over the last 24 hours, including a nuclear aircraft carrier.
Assuming this is true, we can expect to see some sort of confirmation/evidence sometime soon - either in the form of US warships retreating from the Red Sea to get repairs, satellite photos showing damages, or leaked photos at drydock.
If this news is even half-true, it is huge. Having the Houthis be able to inflict any damage to western warships makes western naval operations in the Red Sea unsustainable.
If, however, we don't get any such evidence, we can safely assume the Houthi claims to be false. | 71 | 0 | Loading... |

This comes as the United States has formally allowed Ukraine to use its weaponry against pre-2014 Russian territory.
Anyone who thinks that these are "Ukrainians" firing these missiles, is beyond deluded. These are western-made missiles, fired at targets selected by western intelligence/reconnaissance, with western contractors controlling the equipment with boots on the ground. I.E. this is a direct act of terroristic aggression by the United States, against Russia. | 69 | 1 | Loading... |

11 The following is data compiled from thousands of publicly announced AFU KIAs, showing the average age of Ukrainian soldiers by their place of residents / where they were mobilized from.
Said data was compiled by the project lostarmour.info.
The average AFU soldier is now almost 40 years old, up from an average age of 37 in 2022.
The "rate" of aging is accelerating, suggesting that Ukraine is unable to refill its ranks by mobilizing young blood.
One of the only "regions" where the average AFU fighter became younger, is the one marked as "foreign country". I.E. more and more young foreigners are joining the ranks of the AFU. | 85 | 1 | Loading... |
12 It is absolutely insane how long, and how many destroyed Russian aircraft, this took to finally create - even on a single airfield.

14 The D-30SN can also be fired from the Tornado-S 300mm MLRS system.
It is theorized that if the D-30SN is fired via MLRS, and equipped with an additional booster engine, its effective range may reach up to 300km.
Why all of this is important
The UMPC changed the course of the war in Ukraine, by giving Russian air power the ability to strike Ukrainian front lines, and even some of the Ukrainian operational rear, with relatively little risk to the aircraft delivering the bombs.
The collective west does not have a single mass-produced air defense system with sufficient capabilities of countering the "old" UMPC.
The UMPB will allow the Russian VKS to drop even more bombs, at even greater ranges, and score an even higher percentage of hits.
The Ukrainian operational rear will be easy pickings for the VKS, and there is very little that Ukraine can feasibly do to counter this.
If the VKS were to get reinforced hangars on their airbases on top of all this, they would become a truly unstoppable force. | 103 | 0 | Loading... |
15 The Ukrainian MOD reports that the Russian VKS has dropped more than 10,000 FABs over Ukraine since January 2024.
Air power wins wars.
I truly believe that if Russian air power was half as capable in air-to-ground operations back in 2022 as it is now, the war would have been over by now.
The attached photos are of the new Russian UMPB D-30SN. This is a small-caliber FAB similar in concept to the American GBU-39 Small-Diameter Bomb. These bombs possess superior aerodynamics to classical FABs, and therefore have longer ranges. Reports on the range of UMPBs vary from 80km to 160+ km, but virtually all sources agree that it is significantly greater than that of the standard UMPC.
The UMPB is heavier than the American GBU-39, weighing in at around 250kg, and carries a correspondingly larger warhead. The bomb has a lower radar cross-section, meaning that it is more difficult to detect and there is less time to take cover.
The D-30SN is equipped with jamming-resistant hardware. | 106 | 0 | Loading... |
16 Repost from @free_baltic
Sharing this information to shed some light on current Russia-Baltic relations.
⚡️🇱🇻 A second political prisoner has been killed in Latvian prisons.
Public figure Sergei Mulivanov, referring to his friend Alexander Ilyin, reported that Valery Viktorovich Duden had died in prison under suspicious circumstances after his arrest. He was known for his criticism of the Prosecutor's Office and the Latvian Police.
"Have they started killing us?" asked Mulivanov.
I made inquiries about Valery Duden, who was from Daugavpils and fought against lawlessness there. However, lately, he was fighting more and more in Riga. Was it an accident?
This was at least the second case of a political prisoner dying in prison. The first case involved Igor Bobyr, a strong young man arrested on espionage charges and killed in the Liepaja Prison last November. I have written more about him in this post (https://t.me/alekseystefanov/7343). However, the results of the investigation into his mysterious death have not been publicly reported. Who should we report to?
Latvian authorities and media do not seem to care about such cases.
TL;DR, Baltic fascists have been imprisoning Russian political figures for a long time. Now, they are apparently killing them.
Duden was detained and imprisoned on March 22nd, 2024. | 91 | 0 | Loading... |
17 Because Russia did not respond in any notable way, shape, or form to the previous attack on one of its early warning radars, another such attack has already taken place today.
This time, another Voronezh-DM radar system was targeted in Orsk (marked in red circle). Ukrainian UAVs flew 1,500 into Russian territory before being intercepted. The radar system is reportedly not damaged (for now).
We can note two things here:
1. So far, it looks like Russia is sucking on its thumbs with regards to the previous attack. No retaliatory strike has taken place. Media has, more or less, kept the incident under wraps.
This is marks a catastrophic trend of Russian inaction, which I believe will, more likely than not, lead to devastating consequences down the line.
2. NATO, acting through Ukraine, appears to be trying to target early warning radars in southern Russia, with apparent intent to blind Russian reconnaissance in that specific direction. | 119 | 0 | Loading... |
18 The destruction of the Voronezh-MD radar system in southern Russia opens up a large gap in Russia's early warning system, through which ballistic missiles and pass through undetected, and deliver a decapitating first-strike.
This system has absolutely no connection to the war in Ukraine - its only purpose is to detect incoming ballistic missiles from a direction that is not in the same area as the area of the SMO. Its targeting and subsequent destruction strongly hints at the fact that the US is intending to begin a nuclear war with Russia. | 117 | 2 | Loading... |

In recent days, there has been a significant escalation of the political and military situation in the world.
1. A drone damaged the long-range radar of the Voronezh-DM missile attack warning system (AWS) in the Krasnodar region.
2. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has called on member states to lift restrictions on using Western weapons against targets in Russia inside the borders of 1991.
3. 111"Statements by Western politicians regarding the alleged Russian threat should be seen as preparation for a war with Moscow,"111 said Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. He also said that his government is rethinking its role in NATO because it does not want to be part of the alliance's military operation in Ukraine, and there is military planning underway in Brussels: ```"Working groups are discussing how NATO could get involved in this conflict."The government is working to find a way for Hungary to remain a member of NATO while not participating in the war.```
4. Putin stated that Russia is proceeding from the assumption that Zelensky's authority ended on May 20th.
5. In an interview with The Guardian, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski stated: ```"The Americans have told the Russians that if they detonate a nuclear weapon, even if no one is killed, we will strike all their targets and positions in Ukraine with conventional weapons and destroy them all."``` I believe this is a serious threat.
The West has been methodically increasing military attacks on Russian territory through Ukrainian forces. We will soon see exactly how Russia will respond to a sharp escalation of the situation, as refusal to respond or inaction encourages the enemy to continue escalating, which could very soon reach a breaking point.
Machiavelli's quote seems appropriate here:
```In the beginning, it can be difficult to recognize consumption, but it can be easily cured. When the patient's condition worsens, it becomes easy to recognize, but impossible to overcome. Just as in the case of a state, if a disease has developed to the point where it is visible to everyone, no medicine will help.```
It is impossible to survive on empty threats alone. It is necessary to respond asymmetrically to the challenges the West poses to Russia. For example, the West is planning to lift the ban on striking with their weapons on Russian territory. This is another test of our strength. Time will pass, but there has been no response from our side. Nevertheless, we must face this challenge. (This is a topic for another post.) | 100 | 1 | Loading... |
20 To be clear: no I do not think Russia is going to launch nukes anywhere. At least, not yet.
But a response to this attack is mandatory. It has to be a devastating response, targeted at NATO in one form or another. Anything less will be perceived as an open invitation to attack more of Russia's Nuclear infrastructure, next time possibly using ATACMS or Scalp/Storm-Shadow.
Sinking two or three Arleigh Burkes in the Red Sea is a good starting point, if you ask me. | 90 | 0 | Loading... |
21 The collective west (acting through Ukraine) has attacked and damaged the Russian Voronezh-DM anti-ICBM early warning radar.
A military base in Armavir (southern Russia) was attacked by kamikaze drones yesterday.
I emphasize: a key part of Russia's Nuclear infrastructure was just attacked by the collective west.
This incident has been reported on by Rybar, among numerous other sources. Judging by how slow the information was to emerge, it seems that there is a lot of indecision happening, and efforts have been made to downplay the whole incident. But this is a provocation Russia simply cannot respond to. Events like this mandate retaliatory nuclear strikes, as per Russia's nuclear doctrine. | 103 | 0 | Loading... |
22 The first preliminary report on the presidential helicopter crash has been published in Iran:
◾️The helicopter flew along a predetermined flight path and stayed there for a minute and a half before the crash.
◾️The pilot of the affected helicopter contacted two other helicopters of the flight group.
◾️No impact of bullets or similar objects was observed in the components of the crashed helicopter.
◾️The crashed helicopter caught fire after hitting the mountainside.
◾️Due to the complexity of the terrain, fog and low temperatures, the reconnaissance operation was extended overnight and lasted all night, and on Monday morning (at 5 a.m.), with the help of Iranian UAVs, the exact crash site was found.
◾️No suspicious cases were recorded in the conversations of the flight control center with the flight crew.
A significant part of the documents related to the mentioned helicopter crash have been collected, and it takes more time to study some parts and documents.
P.S. Earlier, I expressed my skepticism at the idea that this was simply an "accident", especially in light of other similar leaders being threatened and/or suffering assassination attempts. However, in light of this report, and the fact of the weather conditions at the time and place of the incident which were blatantly unacceptable for flight, I have to concede: this may have very well been a simple, and easily preventable, accident.
More information is needed before making any final judgements. | 114 | 0 | Loading... |
23 "You saw what happened to Fico, and you have to be very careful.",
This is how an EU commissioner threatened Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze recently, according to Irakli Kobakhidze himself. The story is being\ reported on by numerous international media agencies.
Irakli Kobakhidze is seen as a pro-Russian / not pro-NATO politician in Georgia. Notably, he supports the anti-foreign agents (anti-NGO) law that some groups in Georgia are trying to pass.
The US is already considering sanctions and travel restrictions to Georgia, for Georgian politicians acting like they run a sovereign country and “obstructing Georgia's Euro-Atlantic integration”. | 115 | 0 | Loading... |

26 Today marks the 11th consecutive day in which the AFU has (according to the Russian Armed Forces) suffered >1000 losses in a day. The average reported daily figures are ~1,300-1,400 per day.
As I've stated before, I suggest that everyone take the numbers provided with a grain of salt. They almost certainly exaggerate the real losses of the AFU to some degree, but I do believe that an increase in the reported losses correlates with an increase in the actual losses (since the counting methodology used by the Russians is the same).
The increase in AFU manpower losses coincides primarily with the opening up of a new frontline in Kharkov region.
Further down the road, we can expect larger arms productions from the Russians, and more, greener troops being sent in by the Ukrainians. The war is not yet anywhere near over, but we are seeing what looks like the beginning of an exponential increase of losses on the losing side (similar to what happened to the Wehrmacht in 1943 - 1944). | 136 | 0 | Loading... |
27 As the world watches in anticipation of any news regarding the rescue operation of the Iranian President and Foreign Minister, I think the following should be pointed out.
May 7 - An assassination attempt is made on the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia
May 13-14 – warnings of a military coup in Turkey
May 15 – assassination attempt on the President of Slovakia Fico
May 16 – detention of a citizen who threatened Serbian President Vucic.
May 19 - Raisi helicopter crash
All these leaders are on the collective west's metaphorical shit-list. | 164 | 3 | Loading... |
28 Some good news:
Over 500 pieces of military and specialized equipment were put into service with formations and military units of the Central Military District in April, according to a press release. Among the newly acquired equipment are infantry fighting vehicles BMP-3, heavy flamethrower systems TOS-1 and TOS-2, as well as more than 200 heavy wheeled vehicles, including 30 tanks T-72B3M and T-90M, and 60 armored personnel carriers "Akhmat" and "Asteis", and medical vehicles "Lens". The press release states that the received equipment has enabled the provision of seven motorized infantry and tank units in the Central Military District.
30 tanks
60 APCs
200 heavy vehicles
an undisclosed number of IFVs and short-range artillery systems
All introduced in the span of a single month, for just one out of a total of five Russian military districts.
Gives you a good sense of how much military equipment the Russian MIC is manufacturing. | 172 | 0 | Loading... |
29 The saddest part of all this, is that these losses are insanely easy to prevent.
1. Don't keep fighter jets within ATACMS missile range of the front line (this should be quite easy to do, since ATACMS have a firing range of less than 300km)
2. See point #1.
3. If you absolutely must keep aircraft somewhere that it can be hit by an ATACMS missile, for fuck's sake, at least build a protective hangar around it. A reinforced concrete hangar is best, but failing that, at least provide some light cover that can protect against light shrapnel from a cluster munition warhead.
It is seriously, absolutely astounding that the Russian VKS has not been able to learn this stuff after over two years of war.
I can tell you that I am not the only one who is shocked by this. Many military-oriented Russian telegram channels are absolutely seething with rage. | 126 | 0 | Loading... |
30 Some bad news.
We are getting more and more evidence that the AFU's ATACMS missile strikes against Russian airfields over the last couple of days were very effective. For instance, the attack on May 16th against Belbek Airfield in Crimea destroyed at least three fighter jets (2 MiG-31s + 1 Su-27), and damaged at least 1 more aircraft.
This is not the only missile attack that destroyed VKS aircraft.
A growing trend is emerging: Russia is losing far, far more aircraft on the ground due to AFU missile attacks, than it is losing due to SAM fire (both friendly and enemy fire). | 121 | 0 | Loading... |
31 The AFU just fired another ~15 ATACMS missiles at targets in Crimea, only a few hours ago.
Not all missiles were shot down. Some damage to infrastructure has been sustained. But it does not seem that the damage was very extensive.
In this particular attack, it is noted that no human casualties were suffered. | 145 | 0 | Loading... |
32 Slovakia's Prime Minister, Robert Fico, has just suffered an attempt on his life via multiple gunshot wounds.
He is known for having pro-Russian views. This is the reason why he was shot, and is now in a life-threatening condition.
The shooter: a 71 year old member of the liberal Progressive Slovakia party. Probably wasn't acting alone (though we may never know for sure).
Conclusion: Europe is following in Ukraine's footsteps: being pro-Russian is very dangerous for one's health and continuity of life.

Rybar writes the following:
Missile attack on Belbek
At night, Ukrainian formations launched a new attack on the Crimean airfields. This time, the target was Belbek, which fired up to 16 ATACMS tactical missiles with cluster warheads.
- The sounds of the work of the 31st Air Force and air Defense divisions were heard by the population of Crimea and Sevastopol around 2 a.m. Flashes and sounds of explosions in the sky were noted even by residents of the Black Sea. In total, about 13 missiles were shot down on the approaches to Belbek.
- Unfortunately, one or two missiles could not be shot down. And the results of the arrival became known all over the world again thanks to the publication of video from a surveillance camera on the Network. How and why this is still possible in the third year of the war has long been a rhetorical question.
As we and our colleagues have repeatedly noted, until criminal penalties are imposed for the publication of such videos and photos, Ukrainian formations will have no problems evaluating the results of their strikes even without the help of NATO satellites.
It is not entirely clear where the missiles were launched from. The previous raids were from the Berislav area. But, as a rule, the enemy changes positions to avoid detection. And the ATACMS range of 300 km increases the combat capabilities of the AFU.
At the same time, it is possible that this time the launch was carried out from the Kherson region. However, some of our sources report that the flight of missiles was recorded from the direction of Snake Island. So the launchers could be located somewhere near Vilkovo on the border with Romania.
.
Belbek Airfield did sustain some damage during the attack. The damage is not as severe as Ukrainian sources report.
In conclusion, Russian air defences are not yet fully adapted to dealing with massed Ukrainian/NATO missile strikes. Air defences are able to shoot down a majority of missiles, but it is not uncommon for 1-2 missiles to get through and inflict some damage. | 116 | 0 | Loading... |
34 Tonight, the AFU launched another ATACMS missile attack against Crimea. 8-10 ballistic missiles were used, alongside a number of suicide drones.
All targets were destroyed by Russian air defences. | 12 | 0 | Loading... |
35 Yet another batch of Su-35s has been delivered to the VKS today. This is the third batch of fighter jets this year so far.
Su-35s make for wonderful UMPC carriers, and UMPCs are one of the reasons why the AFU's daily losses in manpower (according to the RuMOD) have risen from 400-600 per day during the first year of the war to 1000-1500 per day over the last few weeks.
Russian aviation in general is an absolute gamechanger that Ukraine has no effective counter against. | 230 | 0 | Loading... |
