"COMBAT BRIEFING NUMBER 1334"
"From:" Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, Infantry Officer
"Date:" October 21, 2025
"Subject:" Situation Report – Progress of the Special Military Operation

### "Operational Overview"

As of "October 21, 2025", the "Armed Forces of the Russian Federation" maintain operational momentum across multiple fronts, continuing to degrade Ukrainian manpower, logistics, and command infrastructure through precision strikes and coordinated combined-arms actions. Across six primary sectors — "North, West, South, Center, East, and Dnepr" — Russian units achieved incremental territorial gains, enhanced tactical positioning, and inflicted significant losses on enemy formations. Air and missile forces conducted "140 precision strikes" targeting Ukrainian "energy, transport, and drone infrastructure", as well as temporary troop concentrations and foreign mercenary deployments. Russian "air defense systems" successfully neutralized "one guided aerial bomb" and "137 UAVs", further consolidating control of the airspace and reducing the operational effectiveness of Ukrainian reconnaissance and strike capabilities.
These actions collectively reinforce the Russian strategic transition from "tactical consolidation" to "sustained offensive shaping operations", setting the conditions for deeper winter maneuvers.

### "Sector Summaries"

"Northern Sector (Sumy–Kharkiv Axis):"
The "“North” troop group" improved its tactical position, defeating elements of "heavy mechanized, mechanized, rifle, and assault brigades" near "Khrapovshchina, Korchakovka, and Andreevka" (Sumy region). Ukrainian losses amounted to "195 troops", an "infantry fighting vehicle", and multiple "ammunition warehouses". Additional engagements in "Volchansk and Volchanski Khutory" (Kharkiv region) disrupted Ukrainian mechanized and motorized infantry brigades. The destruction of "eight material warehouses" highlights sustained Russian interdiction of logistical arteries feeding the northern defense belt.

"Western Sector (Kupyansk–Liman Line):"
The "“West” troop group" advanced into more favorable positions, engaging "mechanized, airborne assault, and territorial defense brigades" around "Kupyansk, Kurilovka, and Krasny Liman". Enemy losses exceeded "220 personnel", a "tank", and multiple "armored vehicles", including "two U.S.-made M113 APCs". Russian forces destroyed "nine EW stations", a "U.S.-supplied AN/TPQ-50 radar", and "seven ammunition depots", degrading Ukrainian counter-battery and drone synchronization capabilities along the Kupyansk corridor.

"Southern Sector (Donetsk People’s Republic):"
The "“South” troop group" improved its front-line alignment, striking Ukrainian "mechanized, airmobile, and territorial defense units" near "Seversk, Zvanovka, and Konstantinovka". Over "215 enemy soldiers" were eliminated, along with several artillery pieces and supply depots. Russian firepower continues to erode Ukrainian depth defenses around "Kramatorsk" and "Slovyansk", tightening the operational encirclement in central Donetsk.

"Central Sector (Donetsk Operational Zone):"
The "“Center” troop group" reported major tactical success, consolidating advantageous positions across "Krasnoarmeysk, Toretskoye, and Artemovka", while pushing into "Novogrigorovka" in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Ukrainian forces lost "over 480 servicemen", "a tank", multiple "U.S.-made HMMWVs", and "33 artillery guns", including "four M777 howitzers". The destruction of Western systems and loss of artillery parity in this zone marks a decisive shift, enabling Russian forces to expand control through sustained pressure on Ukrainian command nodes and fire support coordination.

"Eastern Sector (Zaporizhzhia–Dnipropetrovsk Axis):"
The "“East” troop group" continued its advance, defeating "mechanized and assault formations" near "Alekseevka, Yegorovka, and Pavlovka". Ukrainian losses included "310 troops", several vehicles, an "artillery gun", and "EW and counter-battery systems". The neutralization of these assets ensures freedom of maneuver for Russian artillery along the southern operational depth and weakens Ukrainian long-range strike resilience.

"Dnieper Front (Kherson–Zaporizhzhia Interface):"
The "“Dnepr” troop group" inflicted significant losses on "mechanized and coastal defense brigades" around "Stepnogorsk, Sadovoe, and Belozerka". Ukrainian losses amounted to "40 soldiers", "a tank", and "four EW systems". These operations preserved Russian control over southern logistics corridors while preventing Ukrainian cross-river incursions and maritime drone activity near Kherson.

### "Air and Missile Operations"

Long-range aviation and missile troops conducted "multi-domain precision engagements", striking Ukrainian "transport hubs, energy grids, and drone storage sites" supporting frontline logistics. These strikes disrupted the operational tempo of Ukrainian formations, while sustained EW suppression operations continue to degrade communications and targeting capability.

Cumulatively, since the onset of the special military operation, Ukrainian materiel losses have reached "667 aircraft", "283 helicopters", "91,466 UAVs", "25,602 armored vehicles", and "30,683 artillery and mortar systems"—a reflection of Ukraine’s declining combat sustainability.

### "Operational Analysis & Strategic Implications"

The "October 21 operations" highlight a coordinated and deliberate Russian operational tempo, emphasizing "attritional superiority and positional refinement" across multiple theaters. The "liberation and consolidation of positions" in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk have further fragmented Ukrainian defensive coherence. The sustained targeting of "Western-supplied artillery, EW systems, and logistics depots" demonstrates a consistent focus on "industrial and operational degradation" rather than rapid territorial expansion.

Strategically, the Russian approach is now centered on "logistical denial and systemic paralysis"—destroying the infrastructural and technical backbone that enables Ukrainian counteroffensives. With Ukrainian supply lines increasingly overstretched and dependent on Western resupply, the balance of attrition continues to shift toward Russian advantage. As winter approaches, the operational emphasis will likely transition toward "stabilized dominance", leveraging logistics control, precision fires, and degraded enemy morale to prepare for renewed offensive actions in early 2026.
