Even more Russian losses from the failed bridging attempt over the Siverskyi Donets River. In our estimation, we can see (Not previously posted images; we have removed all duplicates) no less than 28x BMP/BMD, 6x BTR/similar armour, 1x T-72B tank, 1x Truck, 1x MT-LB. In case that wasn't enough, there was also drone footage posted of a wider area. Though we cannot classify all vehicles as destroyed or abandoned, there is approx. 7x BMP/MT-LB and 7x T-72B more seen- again, we have tried to avoid what we have previously posted. A huge loss.

#Ukraine: The 79th Air Assault Brigade of Ukraine destroyed another Russian armoured vehicle- seems to be a BMP variant, although ID is difficult.

#Ukraine: A Russian tank lost it's turret outside Mariupol on May 6th. According to the original source (Chinese Phoenix Television), it was a T-72B3 & was taken out 6km from the “humanitarian corridor” in the city. Quite curious that area was still harassed by UA forces.

Federal police in Brazil chased a drug smuggler's aircraft down the runway and rammed it before it could take off.

Footage reportedly shows a couple anti tank guided missiles strikes conducted by the "Omega" special operations unit of the Ukrainian national guard against Russian armored vehicles in the vicinity of Izum in the Kharkiv region.

Russian Orlan-10 drone footage reportedly shows the destruction of a Ukrainian Army engineer pontoon bridge via ballistic missiles in the Kharkiv region. Ukrainian counteroffensives have reportedly been successful in pushing Russian forces back around Kharkiv and in some cases, Russia has reportedly destroyed bridges upon their withdrawal to prevent the Ukrainian counterattacks from reaching the Russian border region of Belgorod.

Witness video captures a combat sortie by a Ukrainian Su-24 Fencer that finishes with a low-level flyby for the camera man. The footage was reportedly taken somewhere in the eastern part of Ukraine.

#Ukraine: In the East, the Ukrainian 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade hit a Russian armoured vehicle with artillery, causing a rapid disassembly.

The Ukrainian Directorate of Intelligence released a video showing operations to liberate the village Ruska Lozova, just north of the city of Kharkiv. The footage highlights the offensive handiwork of the "Kraken" special operations unit.

Multiple security cameras captured a Russian rocket barrage that targeted a park in Kharkiv on May 3, 2022. Reportedly, the park wasn't occupied at the time of the attack and no casualties were reported.

#Ukraine: A Russian drone filmed a Ukrainian T-64BV being seriously damaged near Avdiivka, #Donetsk Oblast. As seen, all three crew members left the vehicle.

#Ukraine: New footage from the famous Snake Island - a Russian 9A330/9A331 Tor surface-to-air missile TLAR was destroyed by a Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 UAV.

#Ukraine: The Russian forces claimed to hit a Ukrainian S-300 battery, consisting of what appears to be a 5P85S launcher and 5N63S engagement radar, with a cluster munitions fired from a Smerch MRL- causing a massive explosion. It is unknown when or where precisely this occurred.

A Russian attack helicopter that was brought down by a man portable air defense system (MANPADS) during the initial hours of the invasion has just been pulled from the Dnipr River. We have combined footage of both the downing and the recovery,

A mashup video shows a compilation of Stugna-P ATGM strikes as well as artillery and mortar fire missions carried out against "separatist" Russian proxy forces in eastern Ukraine. Based on the lack of seasonal greenery, the footage is likely a couple weeks old.

Footage of Ukrainian mortar shelling of a Russian BMP-1 IFV and Kozak-2 infantry mobility vehicle in Rubizhne, #Luhansk oblast - seems the latter one was previously captured by the LNR forces from the Ukrainian army.

The Ukrainian 25th Airborne Brigade released drone footage of an artillery operation that targeted two Russian T-72 tanks and a BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle. The video ends before an accurate battle damage assessment can be made, but judging by the accuracy of the strikes, the vehicles were likely severely damaged and possibly destroyed. The use of drones in combat has significantly increased the effectiveness and lethality of artillery operations. Adjustments can be made in realtime with better accuracy than traditional forward observer procedures without the risk of putting soldiers within close proximity to the enemy.

Ukrainian troops were recorded using a Milkor M32A1 40mm multi-shot grenade launcher in combat, and the American-made weapon system was likely delivered in the most recent batch of US-delivered military aid. The M321A1 is a hand-held, gas plug operating, semi-automatic, revolving action, 40mm Multi-Shot Grenade Launcher (MSGL) that can fire all six rounds in three seconds. Its maximum range is between 400 and 800 meters, depending on the type of rounds used.

#Ukraine: Some more footage made its way to us from Snake Island- another Ukrainian Bayraktar TB-2 drone strike. This time a Russian 9K35 Strela-10(M) short range SAM system was struck- we have slowed the video down so you can observe a missile streaking off after being hit.

#Ukraine: A Russian vehicle of unknown type was destroyed by precise Ukrainian artillery fire on the Eastern front.

#Ukraine: A Russian Orlan-10 reconnaissance UAV falling out of the sky after being hit by MANPADS - possibly a UK-supplied LMM Martlet.

#Ukraine: Remarkable video from the Ukrainian 30th Mechanized Brigade showing a BM-27 Uragan MRL resupply point of the Russian Army struck by artillery in Irmino, #Luhansk. 3x 9P140 launchers, 2x 9T452 transloaders & 5x trucks full of rockets are seen- almost entirely destroyed.

Two Russian Project 03160 "Raptor" patrol boats were targeted by Ukrainian Navy Bayraktar TB-2 drones in the Black Sea, reportedly near Snake Island. Based on the footage, it appears the boats were heavily damaged, probably destroyed. This footage is some of the first confirmed Bayraktar activity we have seen in days or weeks. Russia reportedly only fielded less than 20 of the Raptor patrol boats. In mid to late March, Azov Regiment posted a video showing an ATGM strike on a Raptor patrol boat.

During fighting in Mariupol, Russian forces were recorded using a 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer in direct fire mode to engage Ukrainian positions and rubble buildings. The 2S1 Gvozdika is essentially an artillery piece that is driven, rather than towed, by its gun team. It is designed to fire high explosive artillery rounds at targets several kilometers away. However, in this video it is being used in a similar fashion to a main battle tank, firing its gun at visible targets at relatively close range. The Gvozdika likely doesn't have the heavy armor protection of a T-72, but based on the footage that is coming out of Ukraine, tank armor isn't looking all that effective anyway.

Drone footage captures the moment a Russian tank, which appears t be stuck in the mud, is hit by accurate artillery or mortar fire. The tank appears to have been a part of a larger element as other tanks can be seen both in front and back of its direction of travel. The level of damage sustained in the strike isn't clear from the video.
