2⃣0⃣2⃣4⃣: 150 (incl. 51 autumn losses we attribute to Nov 31)

#ThrowbackLoss

This day year ago (2024) holds 22 confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them 3x Remdiesel Z-STS 'Akhmat' and 1x 'VPK-Ural', plus heavily damaged STS 'Sarmat-3'.

That's a lot of IMVs on a single day for an army that barely uses them, especially compared to 🇺🇦.

#MonthlyLosses

Here's super-quick look back at Nov 2025, which has just passed. At 115 visually confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦, it's almost record breaking: only a touch above 106 we initially reported in Jul — although likely to grow just like Jul did and is at 163 now.

Last week holds 16 confirmed 🇷🇺 #WeeklyLosses in 🇺🇦, further 📉 from the week before (17 then, 19 now).

Compare to:
2⃣0⃣2⃣4⃣: 116
2⃣0⃣2⃣3⃣: 58
2⃣0⃣2⃣2⃣: 72

This, of course, impacted entire last month that has just ended. Stay tuned as we'll be rolling out monthly overview soon.

#ThrowbackLoss

This day year ago (2024) holds 9 confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. *NOT* among them this BTR-82AT FPV'ed in Sudzha raion. Despite being abandoned at the time it's only damaged on our list since there was no major damage and the area is now back under 🇷🇺 control.

Last week holds 17 visually confirmed 🇷🇺 #WeeklyLosses in 🇺🇦, quite a 📉 since week before (30 then, 42 now) —although not unusual for figures this low — and only a fraction of any long-time weekly average.

Compare to the same 7-day period:
2⃣0⃣2⃣4⃣: 98
2⃣0⃣2⃣3⃣: 53
2⃣0⃣2⃣2⃣: 102

#ThrowbackLoss

This day year ago (2024) holds 10 confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them this curious case of 'VPK-Ural' that somehow turned upside down nearly intact around Sep 30, only to be seen burnt down by Nov 20, and back on what was left of its wheels months later.

Last week holds 30 visually confirmed 🇷🇺 #WeeklyLosses in 🇺🇦, nearly the same as the week before (28 then, 30 now).

Compare to:
Last 4 weeks avg: 50
Last 3 months avg: 43.8
This year's avg: 63.4

Also, compare to the same 7-day period before:
2⃣0⃣2⃣4⃣: 155
2⃣0⃣2⃣3⃣: 66
2⃣0⃣2⃣2⃣: 233

#ThrowbackLoss

This day year ago (2024) holds 36 confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦 — more than entire last week! Among them this T-90M presumably destroyed after it flipped in a ditch near Kurakhove. Interestingly, it appears to be a turtle kind — the only one of the type so far.

Last week holds 28 confirmed proper military material 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦, on par with the week before (30 then, 32 now). Both deep below last 3 months weekly avg 44.6 and this year's 63.7, let alone the same 7-day period over previous years:
2⃣0⃣2⃣4⃣: 117
2⃣0⃣2⃣3⃣: 73
2⃣0⃣2⃣2⃣: 80

#ThrowbackLoss

This day year ago (2024) holds 14 confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦 of hardly any interest.

What's maybe worth having a look is this peculiar — and apparently cross-cultural phenomena — of posing with your own destroyed equipment, often in intimidating way.

#MonthlyLosses

Here's a quick look back at Oct 2025. At 181 confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦, it's 📈 compared to Sep (141 then, 172 now). Even so it's still #3 lowest month all time.

Mildly interesting: IFVs skyrocketed 8x since Sep amounting to ~5x MBTs (vs long-time avg 2.2x).

Last week holds 30 confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦, down from 48 week before (then, 52 now).

Compare to:
2⃣0⃣2⃣4⃣: 178
2⃣0⃣2⃣3⃣: 109
2⃣0⃣2⃣2⃣: 151

All of the above approach (or surpass!) monthly numbers these days. Speaking of which, we'll be doing Oct overview soon. Stay tuned!

#ThrowbackLoss

This day last year (2024) holds 14 visually confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them this what looks like T-62 Obr. 1975 somewhere in Pokrovsk raion, the only loss of the type on our list till this day.

Last week holds 48 visually confirmed 🇷🇺 #WeeklyLosses in 🇺🇦, further up from 36 week before (then, 42 now), and still not far away from last 3 months weekly avg 43.9.

Compare to the same 7d period before:
2⃣0⃣2⃣4⃣: 114
2⃣0⃣2⃣3⃣: 114 (yes)
2⃣0⃣2⃣2⃣: 140

#ThrowbackLoss

This day year ago (2024) holds 9 confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them this 48Ya6-K1 'Podlet-K1' radar for S-300/400 in West Crimea with the chassis well done but the mast looking rather fine, hence entire thing classified as only damaged on our list.

Last week holds 36 confirmed 🇷🇺 #WeeklyLosses in 🇺🇦, up from 22 week ago (then, 43 now). While this feels like a major 📈 compared to the recent trend, it's very much about last 3 months weekly avg 40.5, and deep below this year's 63.3.

For better perspective, compare to:
2⃣0⃣2⃣4⃣: 145
2⃣0⃣2⃣3⃣: 101
2⃣0⃣2⃣2⃣: 125

#ThrowbackLoss

This day year ago (2024) holds 25 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them three Remdiesel Z-STS 'Akhmat' destroyed near Zelenyi Shlyakh, Sudzha raion. The type has been heavily deployed in the area: nearly half (40) out of 82 on the record have been lost in Kursk oblast.

Last week holds 22 visually confirmed 🇷🇺 #WeeklyLosses in 🇺🇦, back up from 12 recorded week ago (initially, now 15) to the usual 20-something level of the last 3 months.

Last week holds 12 confirmed 🇷🇺 #WeeklyLosses in 🇺🇦, half of what we've seen last week (22 initially, 29 now), which was already scratching the bottom. Now we're at a new historic low.

Compare to the same 7 days:
2⃣0⃣2⃣4⃣: 123
2⃣0⃣2⃣3⃣: 75
2⃣0⃣2⃣2⃣: 266

It's a new month, meaning it's #MonthlyLosses time to have a quick look back at Sep.

At 141 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦, 📉 since Aug (160 then, 197 now), it's the 2nd lowest month atm only above record low Jul (106 → 135). Interestingly, it's also the first time IFVs are below tanks.

#ThrowbackLoss

This day year ago (2024) holds 11 confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them four different tank series: T-62, T-64, T-80, and T-90. Unfortunately, no T-72 was lost that day, in which case all major families would've been spotted on a single day.

Last week holds 22 confirmed 🇷🇺 #WeeklyLosses in 🇺🇦, on par with the one before (20 initially, 29 now). This brings last 3 months weekly average further down to 36.2.

For a perspective, same 7-day period before:
2⃣0⃣2⃣4⃣: 163
2⃣0⃣2⃣3⃣: 80
2⃣0⃣2⃣2⃣: 190

#ThrowbackLoss

This day year ago (2024) holds 25 confirmed 🇷🇺 losses in 🇺🇦. Among them this T-62M exploding spectacularly near Novobakhmutivka, Pokrovsk raion right after what looks like cluster munition strike. But hold on...
