I made similar posts about this in March. We are just repeating the same criticisms of oryx. What's the point, obviously many don't care about these issues and still quite oryx.I just realized the dudes running Oryx are related to Bellingcat and are DRPK watchers, so now everything makes sense.
Anyway, just as a few examples:
These two photos are counted as different BMP-3's despite when it the captures come from the exact same video from the same stretch of highway, so it is most likely just the same BMP-3, notwithstanding the fact even if they were different vehicles, the first one is so far away you can't really tell what the fuck it is(claims 1 and 2)
In other cases he just quotes UAweapon tracker guy even if the guy has no idea what he is looking at since the picture isn't clear enough to identify it(claim 47)
Or misidetifies them. This one gets counted as a BMP-3 despite obviously not being one(claim 76)
He then uses this tweet as backup to Claim 43 for the BMD-2 AND also uses it as Claim 2 for the BMD-4M
And this is just after a cursory glance over the list. Shit gets a bit more egregious with planes
Claim 2 for the Su-34's is barely identifiable and might as well be part of any of the other wreckages being counted
Claim 10 which is of an obituary of an alleged Su-34 pilot with no attempt at clearing if its related to the other previous wrecks, it justs gets counted as a different one altogether. And Claim 6 is just him counting the one that crashed in Belarus, just because; which we might as well count the F-18's that have crashed in the US since 2001 until 2021 as losses to the Taliban, then.

Images of Ukrainian troops, victoriously entering the center of Balakleya, after the invaders withdrew in "good will"
Now a 21 century cavalry charge thanks to the Ukrainian Army. Crazy combat camera footage of a Ukrainian Army Humvee charge on a Russian position.
Something tells me if this was the russians doing it we would see plenty of talk of how "desperate" and "unprofessional" they are.
Also, suddenly people forgot about the Kherson offensive which was also a "massive victory" a few hours ago, funny that.
As for the BMD-2 one, it seems they change or remove it but still use the same tweet for the claim destroyed BMD-4M (number 2)I just realized the dudes running Oryx are related to Bellingcat and are DRPK watchers, so now everything makes sense.

I know, but I thought it would be nice to remind our pro-ukranian residents that SDF posters aren't idiots nor redditors who will lap up everything without a question.
I mixed up the numers, it is Claim 34, not 43. My bad.
Damn, the Ukrainians are now contesting the entire area north of Izyum. The Russians are being forced east of the Oskil which means they cannot hold Izyum. Their troops there are cut off. Stunning.
Agreed, Russia isn't taking this war seriously. Hence the tank biathalon and exercises in the east.
Putin is known as a master in geopolitics not warfare. He's using this war to drain America and the EU. America alone is spending more than Iraq and Afghanistan wars combined, the EU is spending more than it can afford to prop up the Ukrainian regime.
Ukrainians forces are making a all or nothing fight before winter it seems. Izyum have quite a forest cover to the north west. Way easier to move under a forest than in the fields directly north and south of that city where aviation and artillery can cut you in pieces easily...
