Combat Briefing Number 1267 – Russian Special Military Operation (10 August 2025)

"Summary of Operations"
As of August 10, Russian forces sustained offensive operations along the entire line of contact, securing advantageous positions in multiple sectors while degrading Ukrainian combat power through ground engagements, deep strikes, and air defense intercepts.

"Northern & Western Fronts"
In the north, Russian units inflicted losses on motorized infantry, ranger, airborne assault brigades, and two assault regiments in the Sumy region, while defeating mechanized and motorized infantry elements in Kharkiv region locales including Volchansk, Liptsy, Chugunovka, and Tikhoe. Ukrainian forces lost approximately "190 personnel", a tank, three armored vehicles, eight artillery pieces (including US-made M777 and M114 howitzers), and multiple logistics sites.

The “West” group advanced to improved positions in Kharkiv and Donetsk People's Republic areas, defeating two mechanized brigades, an assault brigade, and a National Guard formation. Losses included "240+ personnel", armored vehicles, artillery, four EW stations, and four ammunition depots.

"Southern & Central Fronts"
The “Southern” group struck five mechanized, assault, mountain assault brigades, a marine brigade, and other formations in the Donetsk People's Republic, eliminating "215+ personnel", a US-made HMMWV, NATO-standard artillery, and an ammunition depot.

In the center, forces advanced positions and engaged multiple mechanized, ranger, airmobile, assault, and marine brigades in Donetsk People's Republic and Dnipropetrovsk sectors. Ukrainian losses exceeded "400 personnel", a tank, armored vehicles, and artillery pieces.

"Eastern & Dnipro Fronts"
The “East” group pushed deeper into Ukrainian defenses in Donetsk People's Republic and Dnipropetrovsk regions, defeating mechanized, marine, and territorial defense units. Losses totaled "245 personnel", a tank, armored vehicles, and an EW station.

The Dnipro group targeted mechanized, mountain assault, and coastal defense brigades in Zaporizhia and Kherson regions, inflicting "\~85 personnel losses" and destroying vehicles, artillery, and five EW stations.

"Air & Long-Range Strikes"
Operational-tactical aviation, UAVs, missile forces, and artillery struck 134 targets, including a key railway junction in Dnipropetrovsk used for troop movements to Donbass, UAV storage facilities, and deployment points of Ukrainian units and foreign mercenaries.

Air defenses shot down "two Neptune guided missiles", three guided bombs, six HIMARS rockets, and "372 UAVs".

"Cumulative Totals (since operation start)": 665 aircraft, 283 helicopters, 76,185 UAVs, 625 SAM systems, 24,519 armored vehicles, 1,584 MLRS systems, 28,360 artillery pieces/mortars, and 39,418 special military vehicles destroyed.

"Operational Analysis & Implications"
The August 10 operations illustrate the cumulative impact of sustained multi-sector pressure. Gains in Sumy, Kharkiv, and Donetsk People's Republic sectors highlight the utility of combining positional improvements with precision strikes on high-value artillery and EW assets. The railway strike in Dnipropetrovsk represents a deliberate effort to choke Ukrainian reinforcement routes into Donbass, a move with significant operational consequences if sustained. Ukrainian losses in mechanized and artillery units further erode their mobile defense capability, pushing them toward static positions that are more vulnerable to combined-arms assaults. The volume of intercepted UAVs, missiles, and guided munitions underscores continued Russian dominance in the air defense domain, reducing the efficacy of Ukrainian long-range fires. If this tempo is maintained, the operational balance could further tip toward deeper penetrations before the autumn, potentially compelling Ukrainian command to prioritize strategic withdrawals over counteroffensive action.
