"Dramatic Changes": Russian losses in armored vehicles suddenly reformatted - Osint

To spread: since the beginning of September 2025, the losses of the Russian occupation army in armored vehicles change the focus: lost BMP becomes smaller, and trucks and sons - more. The difference with the previous periods is too big to be accidental, said OSINT analyst Richard Vereker. "Dramatic changes in the composition of Russia's loss of this month.

Significant decrease in the share (and absolute numbers) of BMP/APC loss (light blue) and an increase in the share of truck loss (light yellow at the top), as well as some increase in the proportion of tanks (dark yellow at the bottom)," To Sumy region - Russia lost only 6 BMP and APC, but at the same time - 37 vehicles. "I do not know what caused this change, but I think it is too big to be accidental," Verker explained.

He also suggested that such a change may be related to the "point" system, which is in operation by Ukrainian unmanned forces. According to this system, the units of the Armed Forces receive more points for the destruction of hostile infantry and less - for armored vehicles. "Usually, every lost tank accounts for 2-3 BMP/APC, and now everything is the opposite," Verker emphasized.
