The Video Record — 15 Ukrainian Strikes That Reshaped Russia’s Order of Battle.
From May 2025 to May 2026, the Ukrainian armed forces, intelligence services, and a network of allied OSINT analysts have produced a year-long video record of Russian military assets being destroyed on the battlefield. The hardware is rare. The targets are strategic. And every clip has a verifiable X post behind it.
This page is the consolidated record of the 15 strikes we believe most reshaped Russia’s order of battle during that window. Each entry is an embedded X post with verifiable handle, status ID, date, and asset class — from the first-ever destruction of a Russian Be-12 Chayka amphibious aircraft to the SBU’s public claim that Ukrainian deep strikes have destroyed roughly half of Russia’s Pantsir SAM stockpile.
Standard disclaimers apply: the destruction claims are Ukrainian; Russia disputes most of them; we cite the hardware visible on video, not the personnel claims. Where a count of destroyed assets is included in the source post, we report it as a Ukrainian claim with the source attribution intact.

Three things changed in the 2025-26 campaign window. First, Ukraine’s drone-warfare doctrine matured. Fiber-optic FPV drones (resistant to electronic warfare), long-range strike drones operating at depths up to 1,800 km inside Russian territory, and the HUR/SBU partnership with the Unmanned Systems Forces produced a sustained tempo of strikes that survived Russian counter-EW upgrades. Second, the maritime domain shifted irreversibly: Ukraine’s unmanned surface vessels (Magura, Sea Baby) pushed the Russian Black Sea Fleet out of operational range at Sevastopol and forced a redeployment to Novorossiysk that has not stopped Ukrainian strikes. Third, Russia’s air-defense architecture — Pantsir, Tor, S-300, S-400 — was systematically degraded by combined ATACMS / SCALP / Storm Shadow / drone strikes, opening windows for follow-on attacks on aircraft, refineries, and command posts.
The video record below is not a complete list of strikes — the Ukrainian General Staff posts daily — but a curated, verifiable cross-section of the most editorially significant single events from the window. Every entry has a live X status URL behind it.
Russian air defense has been the single most-targeted asset class of the campaign. The Pantsir-S1 short-range SAM (~$15M per system) and the S-400 long-range SAM (a battery valued north of $1B) have both been struck repeatedly. In November 2025, Ukraine’s Security Service made a public claim that half of Russia’s Pantsir stockpile had been destroyed.

A Russian Pantsir-S1 SAM near Mariupol was destroyed by Ukrainian-made mid-range strike system operators of the 413th Independent Battalion (USF). Per-system value approximately $15 million.

“Russia is not losing Pantsirs on the front line. We are losing them in their depots, on their trains, and at their factories.”

Three of the year’s most editorially significant strikes were in the maritime and air domain. The September 22, 2025 destruction of two Russian Be-12 Chayka amphibious anti-submarine aircraft was the first-of-type kill against that platform anywhere in the war. The October 20 strike on a Russian unmanned surface vessel signaled a new phase: Russian USVs operating against Ukrainian targets, met by Ukrainian USVs. And the August 7 HUR “Prymary” (Ghost) unit strike on a Project 02510 BK-16 landing craft was paired with the simultaneous destruction of three radar systems (Nebo-SVU, Podlyot K-1, 96L6E) — a four-asset combined kill.

HUR Prymary (Ghost) unit combat drones destroyed a Russian Project 02510 BK-16 landing craft along with three radar systems — Nebo-SVU, Podlyot K-1, and 96L6E. Four-asset strike.
The ground-war hardware record continues to compound. In July 2025 the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence announced the cumulative destruction of the 11,000th Russian tank since the 2022 invasion. The combined-arms strikes on Russian armored columns — the 65th and 118th Mechanized Brigades destroying 17 armored vehicles in a single repelled assault on September 5, 2025 — show that tactical defense alongside deep strikes is still producing scale.

Russian Iskander short-range ballistic missile launchers are among the highest-value strategic targets on the battlefield. The June 5, 2025 strike that destroyed one launcher and damaged two more was a top-tier kill — Iskanders are the platform that has hit Ukrainian cities with the most accuracy. On the counter-battery side, the 44th Artillery Brigade’s August 5 strike that destroyed a D-30 and three D-20 howitzers shows the conventional precision-fire layer of the campaign continues alongside the drone war.

Ukraine’s deep-strike campaign against Russian oil infrastructure has produced what 19FortyFive called a 16-year low in Russian refinery throughput. The August 2 strike on the Novokuibyshevsk Refinery process unit in Samara Oblast is one of the most-cited recent examples. Separately, in November the Ptashka Drones unit struck a Russian warehouse containing roughly 10,000 FPV drones and 10 pieces of equipment — a force-multiplier kill that wiped out a tactical reserve at the source.

The March 7, 2026 ATACMS + SCALP combined strike near Donetsk Airport hit three target sets in one sequence: a Russian Shahed-drone hub (the launch infrastructure for the Iranian-supplied loitering munitions used against Ukrainian civilian targets), a separate UAV control post at Dibrova, and a Russian command post. Combined-effects strikes like this one mark the operational handoff between Ukrainian Air Force and Special Operations targeting.

Twelve months. Fifteen strikes. One Iskander launcher, one first-of-type Be-12 amphibious aircraft kill, four major SAM-system hits, three armored-vehicle engagements, one refinery, one drone warehouse, one Black Sea landing craft + three radars, one combined ATACMS/SCALP strike on a Shahed hub + UAV control + command post, and a cumulative milestone of 11,000 destroyed tanks. The Ukrainian armed forces have not stopped. The Russian order of battle has been documented, on video, asset by asset, for any reader who wants to see it.
