Ukraine General Staff: Russian losses
🎦 00:22-01:07⏩
Jonathan reviews the latest figures published by the Ukrainian General Staff for Russian losses for the previous day. He advises viewers to check the description of the video for the usual caveats that apply to these figures. The losses are described as significant - 910 personnel, 11 tanks, 20 armoured personnel vehicles, and 24 artillery systems. He notes other significant losses including an anti-aircraft warfare system, 27 vehicles and fuel tanks, 8 pieces of special equipment, a large number of cruise missiles and drones.

Oryx: Visual confirmation of Russian and Ukrainian equipment losses
🎦 01:07-03:47⏩
Jonathan analyses the latest visually confirmed equipment losses published by Oryx, starting with Ukrainian losses. He notes the inclusion of a Bayraktar TB2 (Bayraktar TB2s cost approximately $30,000) by Oryx, which he considers to be unnecessary as they are relatively inexpensive. The remaining Ukrainian losses include howitzers, a tank, Humvees, M113 APCs, pickup trucks and an SU-25 - all described as not very high value. Moving onto Russian losses, Jonathan observes that these are far more significant and include: surveillance and comms equipment; a recovery vehicle; a Prem-1 armoured engineering vehicle; several artillery pieces (including a 2S4 Tyulpan 240mm self-propelled mortar which is described as a devastating piece of kit); a large number of unidentified tanks; BMP-1s, BMP-3s, and BTRs; and numerous trucks and civilian vehicles. Many of these losses were attributed to FPV drone strikes. Jonathan notes that the sheer volume of Russian equipment losses helps to justify the figures published by the Ukrainian General Staff.

Ukrainian Su-24 Pilot killed in action
🎦 03:47-04:52⏩
Jonathan reports the loss of an experienced Ukrainian pilot who had flown 385 combat sorties, describing this as a really big loss. There is conflicting information about the type of aircraft - potentially a Su-24 or a Su-25. If it was a Su-24, this would be a massive blow for Ukraine as these are the aircraft that are equipped to fire Storm Shadow missiles and Ukraine does not have many of them. The loss of the pilot is described as significant but so is the loss of the airframe.

Footage of Baba Yaga drone strike on Russian ammunition depot
🎦 05:18-06:02⏩
Jonathan shows footage of a Baba Yaga drone strike on what appears to be a Russian ammunition depot. Baba Yagas are feared by the Russians - these octocopter drones are able to operate at night using their night vision capabilities and are able to drop significant ordnance. The drones are fairly resistant to Russian electronic warfare which is causing the Russians a lot of problems.

Overnight Russian drone strikes
🎦 06:41-07:56⏩
Jonathan reports that Russia launched 17 drones into Ukraine overnight. 11 of these were shot down. All of the drones were launched from Crimea. The targets included Mykolaiv, Odesa, Vinnytsia and Dnipropetrovsk. The drone attacks lasted for more than 5 hours. Jonathan shows footage of some of the damage caused in Odesa - two strikes hit the city. One of the strikes hit a college, injuring two policemen who were responding to reports of the first explosion. Jonathan questions whether the college was a legitimate military target. The other strike in Odesa hit an unfinished apartment block. Mykolaiv also sustained damage from direct hits and falling debris.

Russian Senate approves asset confiscation bill
🎦 08:39-09:38⏩
The Russian Senate has approved a bill to allow the confiscation of assets as punishment for discrediting the Russian army. Jonathan believes that this highlights how desperate Russia is for money. He reminds viewers that Russia paid considerably more than originally thought for Iranian Shahed drones, using gold to pay for them. Jonathan believes that Russia is also using gold to buy other goods and is being forced to take payment for hydrocarbons in Yuan and Rupees. He believes that Russia is facing significant economic challenges, noting that this has been the case for some time. He is not surprised that the Russians are resorting to asset stripping in order to raise money.

Ukrainian hackers breach Russian drone control programme
🎦 09:38-10:14⏩
There are widespread reports that Ukrainian hackers have hacked into the software used to control Russian DGR drones used in the war. Jonathan believes that this is a highly significant development. If the reports are true, this will be a major blow for Russia. Jonathan believes that drones are a key component of this war and if Ukraine is able to disrupt their use by the Russians, it will be a major win for Ukraine.

Starlink being used by Russia in occupied Ukraine?
🎦 11:00-12:20⏩
Newsweek is reporting that Russia is using Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service in occupied Ukraine. If the reports are true, this would not only be in breach of international sanctions but would also represent a clear security risk. This follows reports that Starlink coverage in Ukraine has been very poor, with some suggesting that Elon Musk was responsible for this. Jonathan believes that Elon Musk should be held to account if the reports are true as this is a serious development.
