Another Russian MP-1IM signals vehicle has been captured by Ukraine, possibly sometime during the Kharkiv counteroffensive last month.
This loss has remained unseen until now.
One damaged and one destroyed BMP-2 belonging to Russia's 60th Separate Motorised Rifle Brigade, 5th CAA, EMD.
This is likely from the failed Russian counter-attack around Storozheve, Zaporozhzhia Oblast, as a BMP-2 of this unit appeared in a video from there.

Four previously unseen Russian VDV losses in Kherson Oblast, all captured by Ukraine in seemingly good condition:

The famous Ukrainian T-80BVM nicknamed "Bunny" has sadly been destroyed in Bakhmut (around 48.5924167, 37.9855833).
It could not be recovered from the mud, and thus had to be destroyed to prevent recapture by the Russians.
