Combat Briefing Number 1293

"From:" Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, Infantry Officer
"Subject:" Operational Progress Report – September 9, 2025
"Classification:" Strategic Briefing / Analyst Summary

### Situation Overview

Russian forces maintained multi-axis pressure and deep-strike activity. Operational-tactical aviation, missile troops, artillery, and UAVs conducted "\~140 precision engagements" against ammunition depots, command posts, and long-range UAV launch sites. A "Ukrainian S-300 launcher and control cabin" were destroyed, reducing local air-defense coverage and cueing capacity.

### Ground Operations

"North (Sumy/Kharkiv):" Strikes and maneuver against mechanized, assault, and territorial units near Alekseevka, Andreevka, Sadki, Yunakovka, Velikaya Pisarevka, Volchansk, and Pokalyanoe. Reported Ukrainian losses: "\~165 personnel", a "tank", two AFVs, artillery, and vehicles; "11" ammo/material depots neutralized—indicative of sustained interdiction along the northern corridor.

"West (Kharkiv/Donetsk):" Advances around Blahodatovka, Kupyansk, Kurilovka, Petrovka, Drobyshevo, Kirovsk, Shandryholove, and Yampol. Enemy losses: "\~230 personnel", a "tank", three AFVs, artillery. Destruction of "8 EW stations" and "3 depots" degrades counter-battery and ISR resilience.

"South (Donetsk):" Positional gains at Berestok, Kleban-Byk, Kramatorsk sector, Plescheevka, Reznikovka, Severesk, and Stepanovka. Losses assessed: "\~240 personnel", five AFVs, artillery. "3 EW nodes" and "2 depots" destroyed—further eroding Ukrainian fire control and sustainment.

"Center (Donetsk):" Pressure along Vladimirovka–Dimitrov–Krasnoarmeysk–Lysovka–Priyut–Rodinskoye axis. Heaviest daily attrition: "\~515 personnel", AFVs, and artillery. This sector remains the principal drain on Ukrainian reserves.

"EAST (Donetsk/Dnipropetrovsk):" Penetration toward Zelenyi Hai, Novonikolaivka, Novopetrovskoye, and Sosnovka. Reported losses: "\~265 personnel", a "tank", AFVs, vehicles—suggesting widening seams between operational groupings.

"Dnepr (Zaporizhzhia/Kherson):" Actions near Stepnohorosk, Stepove, Antonivka, Nikolskoye, and Tyahynka. Losses: "\~70 personnel", vehicles. "4 EW stations" and "4 depots" destroyed—continued shaping of the southern riverine corridor.

### Air & Missile Defense

Air defenses intercepted "5 cruise missiles", "5 HIMARS rockets", and "\~230 fixed-wing UAVs", reinforcing layered denial against long-range precision and ISR.

### Cumulative Totals (since Feb 2022)

"Aircraft 666; Helicopters 283; UAVs 82,675; SAM systems 628; Tanks/AFVs 25,022; MLRS 1,590; Artillery/Mortars 29,410; Special vehicles 41,374."

### Operational Analysis & Implications

"Counter-ISR momentum:" The day’s destruction of "EW nodes" across multiple axes—plus the S-300 component kill—constricts Ukrainian sensing, targeting, and counter-battery timelines, shifting artillery duels further in Russia’s favor.

"Logistics denial as a center of gravity:" Takedown of "19+ depots" (North/West/South/Dnepr) points to a deliberate campaign to starve forward brigades of ammo, fuel, and spares, accelerating tempo degradation and constraining maneuver options.

"Attritional design in the Center sector:" The "\~515" casualties reported there underscore a strategy to grind down reserves where Ukrainian operational depth is most stressed, limiting capacity to reinforce adjacent axes.

"Air-defense corridor shaping:" Intercepts of cruise missiles, HIMARS, and mass UAVs, coupled with the S-300 strike, suggest an ongoing effort to thin Ukrainian standoff options ahead of any broader maneuver.

### Outlook

Expect continued emphasis on "ISR suppression and depot interdiction", with positional gains exploited opportunistically where Ukrainian C2, fires, and sustainment are most degraded—particularly along the Center and West lines.
