Changes in pro(Russian) armored vehicles June 28th

Donetsk
Captured in Donetsk when army base surrendered:

Severodonetsk
Reported to be at Severodonetsk, but not confirmed/geolocated yet.



3 trucks with guns
2 small trucks
2 BMD

BUT: it is a copy of this video from Ukrainians of 22-5:




Here is a geolocated double sighting of a transport:
This must be one of the tanks spotted a day earlier in Krasnodon.

So that makes the number of confirmed armored vehicles like this:

(pro)Russian lost two tanks and got at least three new

From June 26th to 27th in the next four places tank attacks have been reported:



In Slovyansk there was a deadly attack on the Ukrainian checkpoint near the fish farm. One tank has been captured and one destroyed. Here is a photo of the captured one:
This tank looks the same as one of the first three tanks that entered Ukraine on June 12th:



It means the other two might have gone into that direction too.

By the way, it is confirmed that it came from Russia:

In Artemovsk the tank base has been attacked again and 1 tank was involved in the attack:



Here is a detailed report with photos.

In Siversk two tanks attacked across the river:


In Donetsk tank gun fire has been heard:

In Donetsk also a BRDM-2 an amphibious reconnaissance and patrol vehicle has been spotted in this movie:


It is openly flying the Russian flag! The location is here:


After some research we found out that it had already been seen in Siversk on June 19th:
The location of that rebel hideout is here.

Today 5 tanks have been spotted in Siversk:
Assuming that they did not travel all the way from the Russian border in one day, all available tanks in the region might have been send there for an all out attack on Yampil very soon.


Information from locals tell us that 2 tanks and 1 APC where spotted in Suhodolsk and in Krasnodon 3 tanks and 1 APC. These could be independent sightings. It could be the same convoy.



There is no confirmation yet, but these might be replacements for the two lost in Slovyansk.


This makes the situation by the end of June 27th like this:

Overview of current heavy hardware in possession of (pro)Russians

Overview of origin, approximate location and condition.
This is only KNOWN and verified vehicles. There might be more of course.

5 BMDs
Captured from Ukraine in the beginning of ATO (See this Youtube video). Located at Slovyansk.

2-3 NONAs self propelled mortars
Initially one captured from the Ukrainians, but later destroyed. Received new ones from Russia.
See report.

2-3 GRADs
Recieved from Russia. One was lost in an attempt to rain havoc on a village and blame the army for it. One seems to be in Kramatorsk right now.
See this report.

3 T-64Bs, anti-air gun
Crossed the border on June 12th. Located in Donetsk.
See this report and this one.

4 tanks, 6BTRs, 14 trucks 2 guns (see this report)
Crossed the border on June 20th. 2 tanks and 2 BTRs went to Kramatorsk/Slovyansk. Some operating from White chalk hills.
2 tanks and 3 BTRs went to Torez and from there likely engaging towards Amvrosiivka and Marinovka. (See this report.)

2 BTR, 1 BMD, 2 T64b
Captured from Ukraine at Metalist on June 17th and revived. Located in and around Lugansk.
See report here and here and here.

2 tanks, 2 BMPs, truck with 120 mm mortar
First seen in Perevalsk on June 25th. Must have crossed the border independently from June 20th crossing. Destination unknown.
See this report.


This makes 11 tanks, 2-3 NONAs, 11 BTRs 2-3 GRADs, 2 guns, 1 anti-air gun, 1 120mm mortar and whatever they had been transporting INSIDE the trucks of course...

NOTE: when transports are done during the night and driven to final destinations they are not likely to be filmed. It means there might be substantially more hardware than this. But these are RECORDED



If you have any verifiable information about where they are, whether they are destroyed or whether new vehicles arrive, please let me know.
If you see any errors, please let me know.

UPDATE
This video shows another vehicle in Donetsk June 26th:

It is a  BRDM-2, an amphibious reconnaissance and patrol vehicle. If it is spotted in Siversk on June 20th, it may have traveled back to Donetsk, because some tanks arrived at Siversk.
Question remains: where did it come from?


UPDATE June 27th: (pro)Russians lost two and got at least three tanks.
