    DISCLAIMER FOR GENERAL STAFF LOSSES DATA
    1) These are real people with real lives and real families who love them. Don’t let the numbers sap your humanity.
    2) These numbers probably aren’t accurate but they’re the best we have and we don’t need them to be accurate to be indicative of patterns of activity.
    3) All losses are estimates. Losses cannot be counted with accuracy because of the conditions on the ground.
    4) Both sides would see it to be of their advantage to minimize their own losses maximize the other side’s losses.
    5) Neither side releases their losses but we have enough transparency from the Ukrainian side to have confidence in they are indicative.
    6) Personnel losses are hard to count. If a soldier gets injured, heals up, and returns to the front line only to get injured again, is that one loss or two? Also, how to deal with losses from PMC’s or soldiers fighting with RF from occupied territories?
    7) Equipment losses are hard to count. If an AA complex involves several parts and one part gets disabled, is that a loss, or a fraction of a loss? If a tank gets disabled, repaired, back into the fight, then disabled again, is that one lost tank or two?
    8) All recorded losses are vulnerable to multiple reporting. We have already seen numerous cases of multiple drones in the air reporting the same loss from different angles as multiple engagements.
    9) Losses are not always reported on the same day they occurred. It is frequent that drone losses are reported at least 24 hours after other terrestrial equipment losses. Certain losses may not be reported for days or weeks for military intelligence reasons.

    Good morning ATP team. russia is fast approaching another very grim milestone. There is some debate about US losses in WW2, but the most accepted figure would be 471k KIA. I think the Ukraine General Staff figures are pretty close. Within a few more weeks russia will have passed all the American KIA in all theaters during the World War. If this war goes on like this for another year russia may lose more soldiers than American lost in every war since the American Civil War. This is without Ukraine fielding a single modern airframe and never having a steady supply of ammunition, both of which they will have soon.

    Those drone cages are only effective on FPV's requiring impact detonation (using a PG-7 RPG warhead typically). The counter is deploying an FPV mounted Explosively Formed Penetrator (EFP). It detonates at stand-off ranges and punches a dense metal slug straight through the targets armour. This will smash through most flimsy cages. I believe the AFU has deployed some of these but needs to build more EFP warheads.
    A 'cheap and dirty' way of dealing with these may be an FPV double tap. The first FPV carries a 82mm mortar round or similar HE blast warhead with a wide detonator 'bar'. If hits a mesh or cage it explodes and rips a hole in the cage. An alternative may be a flying 'limpet' charge. The first FPV flies over the cage and drops a 2kg HE charge with a magnetic plate and a grenade fuse on to the top of the cage. As the charge falls away from FPV a cable on the drone it rips out the pin on the grenade detonator/fuse. 5 seconds later the charge blows and rips the 'cope cage' open. If you want to go really old school you could use a 'Saving Private Ryan'-style 'sticky bomb' with a grenade fuse if you don't have a magnetic anchor for the bomb.
    With the cage ripped open you fly a second 'anti-armour' FPV inside and hit the AFV.

    As a person who was in a Cav reg for Years and come across All the Russian equipment.Russians will always travel on the top of their vehicles as there APCs are virtually impossible to get out of.
    The weight of a frame on an APC really is an issue and only a Tank has the suspension to hold a substantial structure like a cage . So if getting infantry to a spot is mission critical the tortoise tank is a feasible solution. The thing is they have no experienced soldiers left it’s not that bad if you lose a recruit he’s no different to the one waiting to replace him.
    And that really is the biggest issue you can’t fight a modern combined arms offensive action with recruits it’s impossible

    Good morning Jonathan and ATP team.
    Have a great Friday 😊
    So the turtle tank is actually the command tank cum the Armoured engineering vehicle.
    The T 55 has a cast turret tank.and likely they don't need to put reactive armour on them.it is cheaper too.
    Very smart. The main production focus can be maintained for T90 series.
    Also they don't need to fit them with thermal imaging sights .which is expensive. Also that means that the risk of tank to tank combat is essentially non existent - may mean that Russian belive that Ukrainian tank force has been written down or withdrawn.
    Time will tell.😊 cheers

    Thank you It's all speculation at all levels from both sides. Even a soldier fighting on the front line will have an opinion based on his subjective experience. His mate 10 miles down the line could well have a completely different opinion. Objectivity is a very scarce commodity in a war. All you can do is report the situation based upon the info. you have at your disposal. Anyone who is participating in biased reporting, from either side, for whatever reason only further clouds the fog of war. Please continue your essential work Jonathan and don't refrain from giving your opinions because you always say that it's your personal opinion and may or may not actually be true. One of the advantages (a huge one) of a democracy is free speech. The right to have and state opinions even though they don't comply with a goverments party line.

    That is the first time someone calls MTLB a decent enough APC. This thing is utterly atrocious. It's not even a true APC but more of a tracked artillery towing traktor. It should tow a cannon and carry the artillery crew. All far away from the front lines. It has zero mobility, no firepower and no protection. It doesn't have space for human beings to stay inside.
    Looking at its wide tracks and the flat top of the hull speaks volumes. "I'm slow. I'm unarmed. I can carry a multi-rail rocket launcher."

  • @brandonclark5576

    Hello! About your question of a drone strike by a jet, the answer is... Maybe.
    I know, it's not a satisfying answer, but there's too many variables here.
    Scenario 1- drone goes into a jet intake... This will almost certainly cause catastrophic engine failure. Best case for the airplane is that they limp home on one working engine, worst case, little pieces of disintegrating engine go ripping through other critical components, causing sudden and catastrophic damage to the airframe.
    Scenario 2- drone hits wing leading edge ("front" of wing, for you non-aviation people out there). Assuming the drone *isn't* carrying a weapon, a small quad-copter will likely shatter, but cause minor wing damage. Might keep the plane down for repairs for a little while. If this was a larger "baba yaga" or a fixed-wing drone, however, this could cause some severe damage.
    Scenario 3- drone strikes canopy. This will not likely go well for the pilot. 'nuff said.
    There's a million variations on what could happen, but the long and short of it is this - the physical damage will be relatively light, but if that damage is done to a critical system, the aircraft is doomed. Most places in a given airplane are not particularly critical, however.
    As for your question about the "wind deflecting the drone away," that happens to a certain point, but I've seen enough bird strikes to disprove that particular hypothesis.
    Thanks, as always for your excellent coverage on this conflict. I hope this helps!

    On cages:
    -I note that on one vehicle, one side has chicken wire, the other has bedsprings.
    So, whether good or bad, your statement 'desperation' seems confirmed.
    -My view is that (if well done), it can give a trade of one advantage for a number of other disadvantages.
    Like access for maintenance, loading/unloading, entering/exiting, vision and ability to move, store or hide.
    If for instance, that truck needs to go into the workshop, the door had better be high enough, and the shop empty.
    If you need to relocate to another sector, you might not be able to pass another vehicle on the road, and if the turtle manoevers, better stay far away, it's big, powerful, and almost blind.

    With regard to the Russian SU 25 mid-air collision or near miss, the worst case would be the ingestion of the Mavic into an engine intake. That could be catastrophic. Beyond that, the SU in question is a pretty tough plane. However, even bird strikes are dangerous for planes, and a Mavic would be comparable to most in size and weight. I was impressed at the drone's ability to remain stable in that situation, nonetheless. Some fascinating footage there.

    Their adaptations are grasps at straws. These sad defensive cages keep being put out to solve a problem that is waving a stick at a bird. Neither side has a great answer, but the answer is again innovation looking at the problem backward.

So now I really do not understand why we cannot come up with 10 or 20 Patriot systems?!?!? Like WTF! Each System contains 8 VLS Cells and 3 Batteries per system. Why are we not building shit like this in Ukraine!!! I really totally forgot about the System! Kinda on the Newer side of systems...

    Drone being struck by fighter, my thoughts. The battery on a drone is heavy and dense. This coming into contact with any part of the plane or pilot will cause serious damage. If sucked into/impacts an engine then end of that engine. If it is carrying a bomb then no chance for plane.

    @ATP food for thought: We have seen the Russian artillery being hit hard. Where in the beginning Msta-Bs where being hit everywhere, now even with all the artillery being hit (40 a day) it is less and less. Their main artillery when attacking is being replaced by the glide bomb.
    It can be the are stocking for artillery, of the which the ammo factory is still producing, but in the field, there are few. Like the Msta-B.
    Remember we see the D20/D30 being hit regularly. This is a very, very old (1955/1960) artillery piece and fairly short range (operating within drone range). A piece you would certainly NOT want to use in a conflict (if you didn't had to).

    I have to defend the blyatmobile - if it works, it works.
    It is useful when the main reason how Russians advance are not armoured breakthroughs but infantry ones. Just being able to drop off a squad unharmed to a destination is relevant and I wouldn't be surprised if Ukrainians do something Similar for their eventual offensive. The frontal vehicle is also ma ned with EW. Remember they also tried this few months ago with only EW and no armour. Now with armour they seem to have success.
    Ukraine needs a lot of portable AA and AT equipment and artillery to combat these.

    • @sirsmeal3192

      1. It doesn't work. The tank is blind except for straight ahead. The turret cannot turn. Sheet metal does not stop even a hand grenade.
      2. As a troop delivery vehicle, it fails as well. No troops are ever seen exiting in the available videos. Exhaust fumes are mostly trapped inside the shed leading to toxic carbon monoxide build up. Any slip and the troops are guided under the treads.
      3. If the vehicle hits a mine, the blast will rip the shed off and kill the troops. Sheet metal will not protect, but it will limit movement.

      @@sirsmeal3192 All true, but given that literally any vehicle will be disabled when they run over a mine or get hit by a FPV then it is still a viable strategy to have a literal "tank" in front to guide the column. We can say and discuss how stupid it looks or is, but it seems to work somehow.
      What is the vehicle in western arsenal that would be equivalent and could be used in abundance?
      If the dumb vehicle is in the front and ensures that the column is somewhat protected from mines.. then it is a big advantange already. I bet this would have been also very useful when Ukrainians did their counter-offensive last summer, no?

    Yes a drone could take out a plane if it’s sucked into the engine. Please note I said “could”. Passenger aircraft jet engines found on large commercial planes are tested with frozen chickens shot into them. But frozen chickens are not steel, so it depends on the drone and if its carrying any munitions and if that munition is then triggered. I’d actually say the jet missed the drone by a lot, or it was photoshopped footage. The air displacement by a jet is considerable… think of the shed I. The latest topgun movie.

    If the Drone was to get sucked into the Air Intakes on both sides of the fusalog, would certainly cause problems and very well could take one down! It be hard unless it is heavy enough, which that drone seemed heavy enough. But if the jet just crashed into it without it getting sucked into it's intakes, it would probably destroy the drone and do nothing to the Jet. It have to go inside the Engine, and those intakes are right up front almost on each side of the Pilots seat!
