The Ukrainian army seized, damaged or destroyed at least 338 pieces of Russian military hardware between September 7 and 11, project Oryx visual counts show. Most of this equipment — more than two hundred units — was abandoned during the retreat in the Kharkov region.
In its summary, the Oryx project does not separate equipment by front, the daily list of losses takes into account equipment in other regions of Ukraine, but since September 7, these lists have grown sharply: on some days, the Russian army, according to visual estimates, lost 100 pieces of equipment or more.

In total, since the beginning of the war, according to Oryx estimates, Russia has lost more than 5,800 units of military equipment, Ukraine — 1,577 units.
The counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv direction began on September 7 and 8. According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, by September 10, Ukraine had regained control of an area of 2,000 square kilometers.
Russian troops had to retreat from Balakleya, Izyum, Volchansk, Kupyansk and other settlements — in fact, from the entire Kharkov region. The Ministry of Defense explained the retreat as a «regrouping of troops» to transfer them to the Donbass.
