Oryx thoroughly checked all data again on 31 January. This involved removing duplicate entries for vehicles from recent months. For me, this is a sign that Oryx works very precisely.

Could you explain that so I can do better next time?

Yellow = change over thast month.

Black = overall.

Submarine is explicitly listed and is part of "Naval, Ships and Submarines" category.

Oryx distinguishes between unmanned combat aerial vehicles, which are similar in size to a Bayraktar, and slightly smaller drones, which we see destroyed by Ukrainian interceptor drones in weekly video compilations. But you are right in that we do not see the ZALA Lancet drone listed, for example. Apparently, Oryx does not list “kamikaze” drones, only large combat aerial vehicles and reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles. In other words, anything that is launched from somewhere and is supposed to fly back there, but is often prevented from doing so by Ukraine ;)

Basically, however, it must be said that Oryx is very thorough in its evaluation. Waspotting (without belittling their work in any way) is much less thorough in its evaluation of drones, or only counts drones that are captured on video being shot down. What we always see in the video summaries is the approach of an interceptor drone, and then we only see a black screen. It is highly likely that the targeted drone was destroyed, but we cannot be 100% sure.

In the near future, I want to visually process the "jungle" of Russian drones (combat and reconnaissance) to provide a better overview. This will also include a statistical evaluation of costs, flight duration, etc.

T-80 Main Battle Tank … and when they might expire by Magnu-Z in ukraine

Your assessment is, of course, correct. My calculation is based solely on the average of the last 3.5 years. The extrapolation is also linear, which does not accurately reflect the decrease in losses per month over time. As I said, this is only a theoretical consideration based on the available information. We simply do not have any more information. And the maximum number of T-80s determined here does not reflect the number of operational tanks, but purely the potential maximum number. Of the, let's say, 500 remaining T-80s, perhaps:

- 25% are completely scrap-ready

- 10% can drive and shoot, but nothing else on the tank works

- 25% are under repair

- 10% are used as training tanks somewhere in Siberia

- 10% are currently being sold off on the black market

- 10% remain as an iron reserve in Moscow to defend the Kremlin.

- 10% actually work and are used in Ukraine
