The whole open source intelligence thing has been a propaganda vehicle. There's been a whole joke going around how Oryx stopped reporting numbers once Ukraine ran out of Soviet vehicles and they couldn't pass NATO ones as being Russian.
lol yup, happened right when the Ukrainian offensive started last year and there was overwhelming evidence of NATO equipment burning https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2023/08/putting-down-pen-reflecting-on-oryxs.html
Wait, so the site hasn't even been active for a year now and is still being referenced as a counter for losses? Or did someone else pick up the project?
Also, I did not expect the project to literally be just some guy with no apparent formal expertise or connections. Nor did I expect him to give a special acknowledgement to Jakob lmao (the yakubian devil jokes write themselves).

Did they actually stop reporting numbers? Because that would be hilarious:)

lol I haven't followed up whether they restarted the scam since, but yeah all of this "open intelligence" is basically just NAFO trolls
