Ukraine bans official use of Telegram app over fears of Russian spying
As part of its policy to curb the dissemination of information not screened by the official government structure, Ukraine has begun to restrict Telegram in the country. According to Ukrainian sources, the National Security and Defense Council has banned the use of Telegram in government agencies, military formations and critical infrastructure facilities.
That's just really points to convicts making up far less of the armed forces and/or commanders not as willing to throw them at a strong point. The casualty rates for contract/mobilized/volunteer has remained relatively consistent until the last 2 months or so.
These are being backfilled, you'll have to wait a couple of months before making such conclusion from their data.
Now in YouTube. An Orion UAV takes out a Stryker with an X-UAV (modified Kornet) ATGM. Kursk region.
M113 that was captured in Pokrovsk.
FABs arriving on a forest where a Ukrainian force is hidden. Kursk sector.
Russians advance deeply into Makeyevka.
Russian MLRS firing into a forest region where Ukrainian forces are hiding. Kursk region. This from the 200th Lenvo Brigade as the Russians counterattack.
2S1 Gvozdika destroyed possibly by a Russian drone carrier. As explained before this consists of a large quadcopter carrying two or more FPV drones, with the mother drone acting as a signal repeater. Ugledar sector.
M198 howitzer taken out by Lancet. As M777s run out, other howitzers are being brought in for Ukraine. But as it's been shown, older artillery still works very well in Ukraine.
Russian tanks fire using a tactic called a carousel (not referring to the loading mechanism!) That is a number of tanks are situated in different positions. One fires, and after firing a series of shots, scoots away to a new firing position, while the next tank fires, after a series of shots, scoots away to a new firing position. This is rinsed and repeated till the opposing positions are surpressed.
T-90M on the attack, firing and firing at Ukrainian positions in support of a storming operation.
Tor-M2 from the 1st TA takes out a Ukrainian aerial target.
Lancet from the Siberian Association takes out an M109 in the Pokrovsk direction.
Russian 83rd Airborne (VDV) Brigade now involved in Kursk operations.
Russians recaptured Ruskaya Konopelka.
AFU hanger in Stepne destroyed by FPV drone. Or this could be a Forpost-RU dropping it's laser guided KAB bombs.
Ukrainian tank captured by the Russians in the Kursk region. Intact condition and can be repurposed.
FPV drone takes out a Ukrainian AFV in the Seversk region.
Bradley taken out by ATGM strike.
Ukrainian D-30 taken out by artillery strike after UAV transferred coordinates.
ODAB-1500 arrives on a Ukrainian command center.
FAB-250 arrival on Ukrainian UAV command point in South Donetsk.
Ukrainian stronghold taken out by artillery from the 5th Guards Tank Brigade.
FV103 Spartan captured by the Russians. At this point it seems the Russians have enough vehicles for their exhibits, and are now repurposing captured vehicles for their own use.
Yet another downed Stryker somewhere in the front.

An episode of the battle of the Ukrainian column of armored vehicles, which tried to enter the Glushkovsky district of the Kursk region of Russia. The column, consisting of two Ukrainian BMP CV9040C, a Strv 122 tank and two BMP Marder 1A3, was moving towards the village of Vesyoliy. The column came under attack from Russian 152-mm howitzers D-20 and FPV drones one and a half kilometers from the border. As a result of the attack on the column, the Ukrainian equipment dispersed and was destroyed mainly by drones. In the battle, the Ukrainian army used Swedish and German military equipment, technical data about it is on the channel.
Length of the gun suggests it is a Leo 2A6 though. Strv 122's have been largely absent from the frontline for some reason, wonder if they were pulled back like the Challengers 2.
Which is kinda dumb, considering the Strv 122 have a far thicker roof armor which would make it more suriveable against drones.
Edit: nevermind. Just saw that it seems out of the 10 delivered, 7 were already damaged or destroyed according to Oryx, but still a grain of salt on that number.

Still lower than many of the other claims out there, specially Zelensky's own who keeps insisting the Russians have lost +200,000 soldiers while they have only had 30,000 casualties and calling the WSJ liars for suggesting it was +80,000
