Combat Briefing Number 1317

"From:" Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, Infantry Officer
"Date:" October 2, 2025
"Subject:" Progress of the Special Military Operation

### Situation Overview

Russian formations continued coordinated, multi-axis operations on October 2, combining ground maneuver, deep strikes, and air-defense efforts. Forces reported tactical gains across all sectors, persistent attrition of Ukrainian personnel and materiel, and targeted degradation of radio-electronic warfare (REW) nodes and sustainment warehouses. Reported cumulative interdiction of logistics and ISR hubs continues to shape battlefield tempo.

### Northern Sector (Sumy & Kharkiv)

The "North Group" engaged mechanized and ranger brigades in Sumy and mechanized/motorized formations and a border detachment in Kharkiv (Novaya Sech, Sadki, Spasskoye, Varachino; Volchansk, Okhrimovka, Kazachya Lopan). Reported Ukrainian losses: "~200 personnel", one tank, one armored combat vehicle, three cars, one field gun; one REW station and seven supply warehouses destroyed.
"Implication:" Sustained pressure secures border approaches and forces Kyiv to retain reserves, constraining reinforcement flexibility.

### Western Sector (Kharkiv & Donetsk)

The "West Group" improved front-line positions around Kupyansk and DPR settlements, inflicting "230+ casualties", destroying three U.S.-pattern HMMWVs, 14 vehicles, one artillery piece, four REW stations, and six ammunition depots.
"Implication:" Removal of REW and counter-sensor assets expands Russian freedom of maneuver and reduces Ukrainian counterbattery and ISR effectiveness locally.

### Southern Sector (Donetsk)

The "South Group" advanced tactically in multiple localities (Severesk, Dronovka, Pereezdnoe, Konstantinovka, et al.), reporting "~235 casualties", two Western-made armored vehicles destroyed, seven cars, and eight ammunition/material warehouses lost.
"Implication:" Depot and materiel losses accelerate attrition of Ukraine’s indirect-fires capability in Donetsk, lowering its capacity for sustained defense.

### Central Sector (Donetsk)

The "Center Group" secured more advantageous lines (Krasnoarmeysk, Toretskoye, Dimitrov, Krasny Liman, etc.), reporting "515+ casualties", one tank, two U.S.-made Bradleys, a Kazak APC, three field guns, and vehicles destroyed.
"Implication:" Concentrated losses indicate localized Russian superiority of fires and maneuver and raise probability of operational exploitation if sustainment permits.

### Eastern Sector (Dnipropetrovsk & Zaporizhzhia)

The "East Group" pushed deeper, liberating Verbovoe earlier and pressing attacks at Vishnevoe, Novogrigorovka, and Poltavka; reported "~295 casualties", two armored combat vehicles, and five cars lost.
"Implication:" Incremental depth gains erode Ukraine’s defensive belts and complicate lateral reinforcement.

### Dnepr (Zaporizhzhia & Kherson)

The "Dnepr Group" struck mechanized and mountain-assault units around Stepovoe, Malaya Tokmachka, and Lvovo: "~35 casualties", one REW station and an ammunition depot destroyed.
"Implication:" EW losses along the river corridor reduce Ukrainian detection and coordination across the Dnipro axis.

### Deep Strikes & Air Defense

Operational-tactical aviation, strike UAVs, missiles, and artillery hit transport and M-I industrial support nodes, UAV assembly/storage sites, and deployment points across "138 districts". Air defenses intercepted a HIMARS rocket and "142 fixed-wing UAVs".
"Implication:" These strikes degrade sustainment and ISR, while robust air defense limits Western-supplied precision and persistent ISR effects.

### Operational Analysis & Implications

The October 2 pattern reflects a deliberate campaign of "attrition plus consolidation": secure local gains while systematically denying Ukrainian sustainment, EW, and ISR capabilities. Central and Western sectors show concentrated losses that create windows for exploitation; Dnipro and East operations aim to limit Ukrainian cross-corridor coordination. If Russia sustains logistics and command stability, continued tempo will increasingly constrain Ukrainian counter-mass and may produce opportunities for operational-level penetrations. Conversely, any attacker logistic shortfall would blunt these effects.
