🇷🇺 Russia has moved four Regiments and elements of two more from northern to western Kharkiv since the beginning of July. This marks another shift away from the northern direction. This transfer aims at reinforcing the successes near Kupyansk, whereas the Russian northern campaign has mostly failed.

🇷🇺 Russia continues to redeploy forces away from southern Pokrovsk -90th Tank Division is now entirely south of Ivanivka-Novopavlivka -35th, 55th, 74th, 137th Brigades redeployed from southern Pokrovsk towards Novopavlivka -Only 15th, 30th Brigades & elements of 27th Division remain south of Pokrovsk

🇷🇺 Unit movements in the south Donetsk direction: - 29th and 36th Army shifted south to reinforce the push towards Pokrovs'ke - 90th Tank Division took up the positions near the Vovcha river - 74th and 137th Brigade take over old 90th Tank Division positions

🇷🇺 Russian Regrouping Due to water shortages in Donetsk, many Russian units turn to volunteers for essential supplies. Through this we have been able to confirm that the 61st and 336th Naval Infantry Brigades are in Donetsk, joining the Russian Naval Infantry Grouping

🇷🇺Russian redeployments continue. The battered 11th Air Assault Brigade has moved from Sumy to Kherson to free up the 104th Air Assault Division for further offensive operations in southern Zaporizhia

Ukrainian units are beginning to transfer out of Sumy, following Russia's regrouping that we reported on last week. In this thread we will review the current Ukrainian disposition in Sumy, including recent changes and which units might move out soon.

The Ukrainian 3rd Army Corps (3AK), based on the infamous 3rd Assault Brigade, revealed part of its subordinate Brigades last week. Their sector is the Izyum axis and, as was previously reported by Ukrainian press, they replaced Tactical Group "Kreminna" in June.

The new Ukrainian 159th Mechanized Brigade seems to have been (at least partially) committed to the Zaporizhzhia axis. It is unclear how it will fit within the 17th Army Corps, recently deployed to this area. It might only be in a supporting role for the moment. x.com/sirdo_/statu...

The Ukrainian 17th Army Corps (17AK) has likely deployed to the front, replacing the Operational Tactical Group (OTU) Zaporizhzhia. Most units assigned to the Corps are currently holding the line between Kam'yans'ke and Huliajpole. (Boundaries on the map are approximate)

What Ukrainian units are defending Kam'yans'ke against the recent Russian push? The overall sector belongs to the 128th Territorial Defence (TDF) Brigade, supported by various attachments. The 128th Mountain Assault Brigade holds its eastern flank. Yes, this can be confusing.

One of our members released an article today on @tochnyi.info about Russian military transfers to Armenia. Which military units, where they are operating right now and why they might have been chosen. tochnyi.info/2025/07/russ... bsky.app/profile/waru...

The Russian 155th Naval Infantry Brigade's command post was hit by a HIMARS strike in Korenevo (Kursk oblast) on July 2nd. Major General Mikhail Evgenyevich Gudkov, deputy commander (coastal and land forces) of the Russian Navy was confirmed Killed In Action in the strike.

Today a little boy was killed in Pravdyne, Kherson. According to our unit data (in cooperation with @kelley7622.tochnyi.info) it is highly likely that either the 80th Arctic Brigade, the 61st Naval Infantry Brigade, the Drone unit "Delta Team" or 337th VDV was responsible for this atrocity.

Ukraine’s military intelligence service GUR released an intercepted Russian telegram today. While we don't have more information about alleged transfers to Armenia, we have translated most mentioned Military Numbers to Military Unit Names

The Ukrainian 20th Army Corps (20AK) might be deploying to the frontline after revealing its units. With 4 of its maneuver brigades currently operating in southern Donetsk, it will partly replace Tactical Group Vuhledar (TGr Vuhledar). (Boundaries on the map are approximate)

🇷🇺 Russian units operating in Kursk/Sumy Oblast. Thread: Contrary to initial beliefs, most Russian units remained in Kursk and continued assault operations through April and May, with additional units recently reintroduced

Ukrainian reinforcements west of Toretsk Our previous thread on this area highlighted the lack of Ukrainian reinforcements (above battalion echelon) being committed. It has since become clear that they actually arrived, beginning in late April. bsky.app/profile/waru...

Additional units are being transferred from the Kurakhove axis toward the Pokrovsk-Toretsk line. Following the redeployment of the 8th Combined Arms Army, the 68th Army Corps has also been redeployed. bsky.app/profile/waru...

THREAD As reported in February, the 🇷🇺8th Guards Combined Arms Army was transferred from the Kurakhove axis to the “Toretsk direction”. It has since become clear that the focus of its 20th Motorized Rifle Division and 68th Tank Regiment lies between Niu-York & Novoleksandrivka.

We are discovering more and more of the structure of the new 68th Motorized Rifle Division, formed on basis of the 25th Motor Rifle Regiment New formations: 121st Motorized Rifle Regiment: MUN 50183 122nd Motorized Rifle Regiment: MUN 50333 52nd Reconnaissance Battalion: MUN ?

We have found the first insignia for a subunit of the newly formed 68th Motorized Rifle Division. It likely belongs to its 122nd Motorized Rifle Regiment. For this Regiment we also managed to figure out its unique Military Unit Number, namely 50333

THREAD Significant Russian troop movements in the Kupyansk direction. Russia moves three regiments from Pishchane direction towards Terny, increases attacks near Kyslivka and reinforces the attack against Zapadne.

THREAD In March Ukrainian forces attacked Belgorod oblast, capturing the villages of Demidovka and Popovka. Apparently, more Ukrainian units than initially believed are involved, including several brigades previously in Kursk oblast and soldiers transferred from support branches.

The Russian 327th Coast Guard Regiment (MUN 92754, FSB Border Guards, БОХР) has been suffering heavy casualties in Toretsk since their deployment in early February 2025

The Russian 327th Coast Defense Regiment (MUN 92754, FSB Border Guards, БОХР) has been suffering heavy casualties in Toretsk since their deployment in early February 2025

THREAD The city of Pokrovsk, a major supply hub, has been under attack since early 2024 following the fall of Avdiivka. This is the first of a three part series on the events in January and February We will also release a comprehensive article at @tochnyi.info

Russian Force Expansion: The 25th Motor Rifle Brigade (MUN 29760, 6th CAA, LMD) was reformed into the 68th Motor Rifle Division

The soldier who is being interviewed in the latest Butusov, Balgrabsky Vladislav Ivanovich, has been missing since around 20.03.2025. His unit, the 7th Motor Rifle Regiment, MUN 06414, is fighting around Hlyboke, northern Kharkiv.

(1) Aleksandr Sergeevich Kovalev went missing in action on January 26th 2025, near Udachne, Donetsk Oblast, under questionable circumstances. He was a thrice wounded veteran of the 15th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade "Black Hussars" (15th MRB), MUN: 9 0 6 0 0.

Small ORBAT update: The 🇷🇺 36th Combined Arms Army now has a designated Assault Battalion, namely the 135th Assault Battalion, MUN 01605. Its unclear if this is part of a wider change towards creating specialized Assault Battalions. The unit is operating around Rozdolne.

THREAD Russian Nuclear Forces are used as assault infantry in the Toretsk direction. In November 2024, trucks belonging to the 🇷🇺 12th Main Directorate crossed the border into Ukraine near 47.845276, 39.762979. At that time we didn't know what their purpose was. Now we do.

Russian manpower shortages: The 🇷🇺 90th Tank Division is using military police in their assaults, specifically the 152nd commandant's company the 159th commandant's office, MUN 35822. They have been used in attacks against Nadiivka, Donetsk.

THREAD: More Kurakhove transfers After fighting in the Mariinka -> Kurakhove direction since the beginning of the war, Russia has started to transfer the 103rd Motor Rifle Regiment (MRR), MUN 91708, of the 150th Motor Rifle Division (MRD) towards Toretsk. x.com/AudaxonX/sta...

We have identified the Special Forces Unit of the 🇷🇺 41st Combined Arms Army (41st CAA). The 72nd Special Forces Battalion, MUN 75231, was formed at the beginning of 2024 and is fighting around Hrodivka in the Pokrovsk direction as of 27.01.2025.

The 🇷🇺 3rd Special Purpose Brigade, MUN 21208, has seen unprecedented losses since their shift from the Pokrovsk front towards Toretsk. Their transfer happened around Oct/Nov 2024, with the first MIA from Toretsk showing up on 2024.11.02 and the first geolocation on 2024.12.06

The Ukrainian 68th Jaeger Brigade conducted a small tactical attack into the village of Dachens'ke, south of Pokrovsk. Possibly trying to exploit weak Russian positions manned by the Russian Baltic Fleet Motorized Rifle Regiment. t.me/DeepStateUA/...

THREAD The 🇺🇦 92nd Assault Brigade is one of the most well-known and experienced ZSU units. In this thread we will go over their current deployment areas and some recent news in the Brigade’s structure. Sources: docs.google.com/document/d/1... (Insignia credit: @militarylandnet.bsky.social)

The first Russian soldier born in 2007, Anyutov Alexey Dmitrievich, died in Ukraine. His unit, the 74th Motor Rifle Brigade, is fighting around Pishchane (near Pokrovsk) and is facing heavy pressure due to recent Ukrainian counterattacks in the area

After documenting MIAs for the 154th Mechanized Brigade from three different sectors of the front over the last couple of months, we now have the first geolocations for their drone Battalion near Krasnoe, Belgorod: x.com/giK1893/stat...

Ulanok attack update. We can now confirm that the 2nd Air Assault Battalion Ukrainian 82nd Air Assault Brigade was involved. This patch was taken by the Russian 60th Assault Brigade "Veterans" which also fought for Makhnovka in January. t.me/veterany_60o...

Barely 18, signing a contract on the first day of 2025 and dying not even a month later in Ukraine. Killed by his own commanding officer. This is the story of Reutov Viktor Gennadievich, soldier of the 69th Covering Brigade which is currently fighting around Rivnopil

1/19 The purpose of this thread is to inform on the variety of shapes of official Russian military patches/chevrons/heraldry and their meanings. Each post will have the shape of the patch and an example of a unit it belongs to.

THREAD A few reassessments about the rotations of the 810th Naval Infantry Brigade in Kursk. We were able to gather way more data about the individual combat paths of its Battalions. bsky.app/profile/waru...

THREAD Around the end of December 24, the remaining elements of the 810th Naval Infantry Brigade got moved from Pogrebki towards Kurilovka. Their positions at the northern Kursk frontline are now manned by the 34th Motor Rifle Brigade and the 22nd Motor Rifle Regiment.

Russian military blogger Romanov is claiming that the commander of Russia's 11th Separate Guards Air Assault Brigade has been fired for and I quote "For Bullshit." This comes after the Ukrainian counter attack this morning in Kursk. t.me/romanov_92/4...

THREAD We will post here what we know about Ukrainian units involved in the counterattack near Ulanok. For now we dont have much information except a new Ukrainian IFF resembling two vertical lines: t.me/Taiga_tot_sa...

"Cosmos", Signed up with the 237th VDV Regiment, 76th Pskov Airborne division and went missing on the western Kursk Flank on 02.01.25 t.me/poisksoldata...

Which Russian units are responsible for the renewed action around Vozdvyzhenka? We have collected information about two brigades that were previously responsible for the capture or Kurakhove. Namely the 5th and 110th Motor Rifle Brigades, MUN 41698 and 42600. Sources: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Another important part from the article: "The Operational Strategic Groups (OSUV), Operational Tactical Groups (OTU), and Tactical Groups (TG) will be disbanded, with the corps eventually assuming control of the frontlines." No more parallel command structures. bsky.app/profile/mili...
