Combat Briefing Number 1319

"Date:" October 4, 2025
"From:" Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, Infantry Officer
"Subject:" Situation Report – Progress of the Special Military Operation

### Strategic Overview

The Russian Armed Forces sustained their offensive momentum with coordinated multi-domain operations across six operational groupings. Precision aviation, missile, and artillery strikes targeted Ukrainian "energy infrastructure, UAV launch preparation sites, and temporary deployment zones", while front-line forces advanced and consolidated in multiple regions.

Air defense measures remained robust, intercepting "five glide bombs, one HIMARS rocket, and 314 UAVs", further blunting Ukraine’s ability to conduct long-range strikes.

### Sector-by-Sector Developments

"Northern Front (Sumy & Kharkiv)"

" Russian “North” group engaged Ukrainian mechanized, airborne assault, and territorial defense brigades around "Khrapovshchina, Krasnopolye, Kondratovka, Iskriskovshchina, Petrushevka, Volchansk, and Chugunovka".
" "Enemy losses:" ~215 personnel, 2 AFVs, 8 vehicles, 5 artillery guns (2 Western-made).
" High-value targets eliminated included a "US-made AN/TPQ-50 counter-battery radar", 2 EW stations, and 4 depots.

"Western Front (Kharkiv & Donetsk)"

" “West” units secured advantageous positions near "Kupyansk, Yampol, and surrounding settlements".
" "Enemy losses:" ~220 personnel, 3 NATO armored vehicles (MaxxPro, Mastiff, Cobra), 17 cars, 2 artillery pieces.
" "5 EW stations and 7 depots destroyed", further limiting Ukrainian counter-battery effectiveness.

"Southern Front (Donetsk)"

" “South” group improved tactical positions, striking mechanized, motorized, airmobile, and mountain-assault brigades near "Severesk, Konstantinovka, Nikolaevka, and Minkovka".
" "Enemy losses:" ~230 personnel, 1 AFV, 12 cars, 2 artillery guns.
" "5 depots destroyed", undermining fuel and ammunition supply lines.

"Central Front (Donetsk Axis)"

" “Center” forces advanced along the line near "Dimitrov, Krasny Liman, Krasnoarmeysk".
" Heavy engagements inflicted "450+ casualties", 2 tanks, 2 AFVs, 2 artillery pieces.
" A radio-electronic warfare station neutralized, weakening Ukrainian battlefield communications.

"Eastern Front (Zaporizhzhia & Dnipropetrovsk)"

" “East” group pressed deeper into Ukrainian defenses around "Orestopol, Chervonoe, Novogrigorovka, Poltavka".
" "Enemy losses:" ~290 personnel, 2 AFVs, 19 vehicles, 1 EW station.
" The advance further stretches Ukrainian reserves along the Zaporizhzhia axis.

"Dnieper Front (Zaporizhzhia & Kherson)"

" “Dnepr” forces struck mountain-assault, coastal defense, and territorial brigades at "Malaya Tokmachka, Olgovka, Antonovka".
" "Enemy losses:" 55+ personnel, 2 vehicles, 1 artillery gun, 1 depot.
" "5 EW stations destroyed", further degrading Ukraine’s ability to coordinate across river defense lines.

### Cumulative Attrition Since Start of Operation

" "667 aircraft, 283 helicopters, 88,028 UAVs, 25,351 AFVs, 30,176 artillery/mortars, and 43,185 military vehicles" destroyed.
" Losses underscore Ukraine’s growing "strategic exhaustion" and reliance on external reinforcement.

### Operational Analysis & Implications

This week’s operations illustrate Russia’s "integrated attrition doctrine": pairing deep precision strikes with steady ground advances. The destruction of Western-supplied vehicles (MaxxPro, Mastiff, Cobra) highlights the vulnerability of NATO hardware absent robust air defense and logistics. Electronic warfare systems continue to be systematically targeted, reducing Ukraine’s "counter-battery firepower, situational awareness, and command resilience". Ukrainian brigades across all axes—mechanized, airborne, marine, and mountain-assault—suffered mounting losses, depleting specialized units that are difficult to replace. Strategically, Russia is "shaping conditions for winter offensives" by securing tactical depth, weakening Ukrainian supply networks, and degrading defensive capabilities. Ukraine’s continued reliance on Western materiel faces limits of sustainment under relentless pressure on energy and industrial infrastructure.
