Black March For Moscow: 35,000 Soldiers Lost, 96% Killed by Ukrainian Drones
By: Giorgio Provinciali
Live from Ukraine
Kramatorsk —?The Ukrainian defense lines in Donbas now extend from house to house. Lines of dragon’s teeth, barbed wire, trenches, and ditches neatly follow the layout of the buildings on the outskirts of Kramatorsk, while fewer and fewer cars are on the road in the city center.?
After thwarting the start of the Russian spring offensive,??the Ukrainian Defense Forces maintain the strategic initiative and prevent Russia from organizing a large-scale attack?.?
These words,?from?the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyj, are confirmed by the facts.
So much so that,?from the field, we can’t help but notice how Kyiv’s dominance in electronic warfare and unmanned systems allows the ЗСУ not only to project a significant amount of fire into enemy territory but also to defend areas it already fully controls?— such as Donetsk, from where we are writing our latest dispatches —?with a disproportionately unfavorable ratio for the Russians.
From what we’ve observed,?Ukraine is able to influence Russian logistics by launching intense, constant fire within a radius nearly double that of the fire directed against it by the occupation forces.
Those who have read our dispatches in recent months can imagine what this means. From kill zones like Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, and Donetsk, we’ve?documented?— including in numerous videos on this newspaper’s YouTube channel — how technology has extended the radius of death to levels unthinkable just a few years ago. From areas like Synelnykove, we’ve?explained?how entire cities located as far as 150 kilometers from the hottest zones are now reduced to firing ranges, constantly bombarded by Russian drones of all kinds, including FPVs that, until recently, infested areas about 20 kilometers from the mutual infiltration zones.
It’s therefore understandable what it means?to double the concentration of that terror in territories where the occupying army managed to advance only after reducing them to spectral wastelands.
A figure?revealed?yesterday by General Syrskyj clearly explains what this has meant:?in March, total Russian losses increased by 29%. Given that?since December, Moscow has systematically lost more personnel than it can recruit, it’s easy to understand how dire the situation is for the Russian regime.?Territorial losses are directly proportional to these numbers.
As Syrskyj?stated,?Ukrainian unmanned units are already carrying out more than 11,000 missions per day. March statistics?show?that?those precious units achieved a much higher accuracy rate than in February, reaching their targets 50% more often: that is, 150,000. At the same time,?the effectiveness of Ukrainian mid-strike operations has increased: in 350 strikes at operational depths of 30–120 km, Kyiv has hit 143 enemy logistics facilities and warehouses, 52 Russian army command posts, 20 oil and energy facilities, and much more.
In March, Ukraine neutralized 26% more positions from which Russian drones launched attacks than in February. This figure aligns with the performance of?Ukrainian ground-based robotic complexes, which completed 50% more tasks in March than in the previous month.
Currently,?the ratio of loitering munitions used by the Ukrainian army to those used by the Russian army is 1.3:1. This advantage translates into?resounding losses for Moscow: 35,351 men in March alone. This figure is even more shocking given that?96% of those losses are attributable to Ukrainian drones.
The statistics provide a rigorous quantitative analysis of the conflict’s dynamics: the operational range has increased significantly compared with the early years of the war, but — having invested earlier and more effectively in its technical capabilities —?Ukraine has now managed to reverse the rate of attrition in its favor, projecting critical fire volumes significantly higher than those of Russia and maintaining an effective interdiction that prevents Moscow from structuring large-scale maneuvers.?
This differential translates into outright losses for the Russian military, which continues to bleed dry without transforming the attrition inflicted on Ukraine into a strategically decisive offensive capability, despite Ukraine’s defensive posture.
The defensive lines we write from therefore hold, and Russia’s plans to breach the Ukrainian fortress belt will once again go up in smoke.
In 1.500 days of war,?we recorded over 250 videos from ground zero and wrote more than 1,500 articles.
We are doing our best to provide genuine, first-hand reports from zones where almost no press dares to go. This means living in a kill zone constantly. We take the risk, but without your invaluable support, our voices would remain unheard and silent. Without brave people sharing our articles from afar, they would remain unread. Our reports would go unseen, and our efforts would be lost. There’s still a lot of work to do here, as the people around us are also in no better situation.
We’re renewing our?fundraising campaign?and thanking everyone who joins us in helping to restore what Russia is destroying. Moving forward with only a small reimbursement for each article from a brave newspaper that believes in us is extremely challenging. That’s why we are grateful to all the kind people who support us and trust in our mission.
Even a small donation helps.
We’ll keep you updated on developments.
Thank you all, dear friends

莫斯科的黑色三月：損失3.5萬餘兵力，96%被烏克蘭無人機擊斃

烏克蘭前線報道?
克拉馬托爾斯克——如今，在頓巴斯烏克蘭的防線已做到逐戶防守。防龍齒、鐵絲網、壕溝和溝道沿克拉馬托爾斯克郊區建築的布局整齊布設，市中心道路上行駛的車輛也愈發稀少。
在挫敗了俄軍春季攻勢的初期行動後，“烏克蘭防衛軍保持戰略主動，阻止了俄羅斯組織大規模進攻”
這是烏克蘭武裝部隊總司令奧列克桑德爾·西爾斯基的原話，事實也完全印證了他的說法。
以至於在前線我們無法忽視，基輔在電子戰與無人係統上的優勢，不僅使烏軍能向敵後投射大量火力，也能防禦俄羅斯完全控製的區域，例如我們發出最新報道的頓涅茨克，並讓俄羅斯付出極不對稱的代價。

從我們的觀察看，烏克蘭能夠以俄軍火力近乎兩倍的射程對俄方後勤實施強烈、持續的火力壓製。
讀過我們近月報道的人大概能想象其含義。從赫爾鬆、第聶伯羅彼得羅夫斯克、哈爾科夫和頓涅茨克等地的殺傷區，我們拍攝了包括本報YouTube頻道的眾多視頻記錄了，技術已將死亡半徑擴大到數年前難以想象的範圍。從西內利尼科沃等地我們已說明，為何距前線激烈區150公裏的整座城市如今都被變為俄軍無人機靶場，持續遭受各類俄方無人機轟炸，其中包括此前僅到互滲區約20公裏內的FPV無人機。

因此可想而知，在被占領並被迫淪為幽靈荒地才能推進的地區，將火力密度翻倍意味著什麽。
西爾斯基將軍昨日披露的一組數據清晰說明了這一切：三月俄軍總損失增長了29%。鑒於自去年12月以來，莫斯科係統性地損失人員已超過其可征召數量，不難理解俄政權麵臨的嚴峻局麵。而其領土損失與這些數字呈正比。
如西爾斯基所言，烏克蘭無人作戰單元已每日執行逾1.1萬次任務。三月統計顯示，這些珍貴單元的命中率較二月顯著提高：命中目標的頻率增加了50%，即約15萬次。同時，烏方中程打擊效能亦提升：在30–120公裏作戰深度的350次打擊中，基輔擊中143處敵方後勤設施與倉庫、52處俄軍指揮部、20處油氣與能源設施以及更多目標。

三月，烏克蘭摧毀的俄軍無人機發射陣地數量比二月增加了26%。這一數據與烏方地麵機器人作戰單位的表現相符：三月完成的任務比上月提升50%。
目前烏軍使用的滯空彈藥與俄軍的比率約為1.3:1。這一優勢直接轉化為對莫斯科的沉重損失：僅三月便有35,351名人員傷亡。更令人震驚的是，這些損失中有96%歸因於烏克蘭無人機。

這些統計數據為戰爭態勢提供了嚴謹的量化分析：相較戰爭早期，作戰縱深顯著增加，但烏克蘭憑借更早且更有效地技術投資，現已設法將消耗比扭轉為對己方有利，投射的關鍵火力遠超俄方，並維持有效的阻斷，阻止莫斯科策劃大規模機動作戰。
這一差異直接導致俄軍的實質性損失，在持續消耗中，俄方無法將對烏的消耗轉化為具有戰略決定性的攻勢能力，盡管烏方處於防禦態勢。
我們所處的防線因此依然穩固，俄羅斯企圖突破烏克蘭防禦帶的計劃將再次化為泡影。

在1500天的戰爭中，我們從前線錄製了250多段視頻，並撰寫了1500多篇文章。
我們盡最大努力從幾乎沒有媒體敢進入的地帶進行真實的一手報道，這意味著我們長期生活在“殺傷區”。我們承擔風險，但若沒有你們寶貴的支持，我們的聲音將無從傳出。若沒有遠方的勇敢的人們轉發分享我們的文章，它們將無人問津。我們的報道會被忽視，我們的努力將付諸流水。這裏還有大量工作要做，周圍的人們境況同樣艱難。
我們正在更新籌款活動，感謝每一位加入我們、幫助修複俄羅斯破壞的人們。僅靠一家勇敢的報紙為我們每篇文章支付微薄稿酬以維持前線報道極為困難。因此，我們感激所有支持並信任我們使命的善良人們。
哪怕是小小的捐助也有助益。
我們會持續為你們更新事態進展。
謝謝大家，親愛的朋友們?
