Anastasia Prots reports in Ukraine Pravda:

During the first five days of October, Russian infantry losses caused by USF strikes increased by 39.7% compared to the same period in September. These figures encompass both killed and wounded. USF units killed and wounded 2,699 Russian soldiers, all confirmed in the DELTA battlefield situational awareness system. During the first five days of September, this figure stood at 1,931, while in August it was 1,529. Thus, compared to the same period in September, losses grew by 39.7% and compared to August – by 76.5%. "No fantasies, rumors or guesses – solely accounting, mathematics and analysis of verified losses."

Robert "Magyar" Brovdi, Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, has reported that during the first five days of October, Russian infantry losses caused by USF strikes increased by 39.7% compared to the same period in September. These figures encompass both killed and wounded.

Details: According to Brovdi, during the period of 1-5 October, USF units killed and wounded 2,699 Russian soldiers, all confirmed in the DELTA battlefield situational awareness system. During the first five days of September, this figure stood at 1,931, while in August it was 1,529.

Thus, compared to the same period in September, losses grew by 39.7% and compared to August – by 76.5%.

Brovdi also noted an increase in the density and frequency of Russian attacks in early October, linking this escalation to ongoing covert Russian mobilisation.

The most significant surge was recorded on the Dobropillia-Pokrovsk front within the sector of the 1st Azov Corps of Ukraine's National Guard.

There, USF operators killed and wounded 1,268 Russian soldiers during the first five days of October. For the same period in September, the figure was 884, and in August – 664. Based on calculations provided by Brovdi, this represents an increase of approximately 43% and 91% respectively.

Brovdi emphasised that the statistics cover exclusively the performance of units under the USF grouping and do not include losses inflicted on the Russians by other units from the defence forces.
