This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

Gee, I wonder how many here at FR are dedicated to this effort?
Whether they are paid for their work or simply unpaid and useful, quite a few here are blatantly obvious about it, criticizing, gaslighting and dividing in all the ways fine community organizers are so want to do.
And, like Rush said, “I hope they fail.”
“NASA’s FIRMS fire monitoring system shows widespread fires at Belbek Airbase in Russian occupied Crimea, after a large Ukrainian ATACMS strike tonight.
Fires have been primarily detected along the flightline.”

[ No Cremation Needed. Russian positions Burnt to Ashes! ]

Day 811: May 14
Today, there are a lot of updates in the direction of Lyman.
Here, large forest fires have completely changed the balance of power in the Serebryansky forest.
This direction is the stage of 2 main cities, Lyman to the west, which is under Ukrainian control, and Kreminna to the East, which is under Russian control.
Ukrainians and Russians use their respective cities as headquarters and main bases of operations, from where they organize, reinforce, and rotate their units from the frontline.
The main goal of Russian forces in this direction is to advance both through the fields and the forest to take control over the Ukrainian city of Lyman.
Ukrainians, above all, are attempting to drain the Russian offensive efforts and undercut them from the forest, thereby setting the stage for a future counteroffensive operation in the direction of Kreminna.
Over the past months, Russians have advanced through the fields towards the Ukrainian settlements of Terny and Yampolivka, situated behind the Zherebets River, which divides the region in two.
As you remember from previous reports, Russians have thrown themselves at the Ukrainian defenses in these settlements, but have been beaten back by Ukrainian defenders time and time again.
The situation is very different to the south of these fields in the Serebryansky forest area. The terrain here makes it impossible for Russians to support their attacks with large groups of armored vehicles, which basically have zero mobility in the dense forest area.
With little to no access to armored support, Russians had resorted to pure infantry assaults, but could not secure any significant territorial gains.
This has caused the frontline here to be much more static, characterized by large Russian artillery barrages. Ukrainians, in turn, have focused on undermining the Russian attempts to accumulate enough infantry for an assault by performing raids on Russian trenches and drone-dropped grenades.
For months, Ukrainians have conducted intense artillery counter battery fires on Russian positions to combat the extensive Russian artillery support.
Recently released geolocated footage of the 45th Artillery Brigade shows the destruction of a Russian self-propelled gun, MSTA-S. Further released footage from the 3rd Assault Brigade also shows the destruction of a Russian heavy artillery gun, MSTA-B.
The Institute for the Study of War reported that in an interview, a Ukrainian officer stated that Russians have a 5:1 artillery advantage over Ukrainians in the Serebryansky forest area. However, the Ukrainian officer described the situation as ‘more or less stable.’
As he stated that, in comparison, Russians maintain a 10:1 advantage in other areas of the front.
The 3rd Assault Brigade also released footage showcasing their training with the recently delivered British self-propelled gun, AS-90. Ukraine has received over 50 of these weapon systems, severely bolstering the Ukrainian artillery capabilities.
The brigade stated that while they were firing on a training range so far, these guns would soon be deployed to the frontline as well.
Recently, Ukrainians released geolocated drone footage showcasing the extent of the damage to the forest. Intense artillery fire, grenades, kamikaze drones, and stray armored vehicles on such a static part of the frontline have destroyed the forest entirely, leaving debris and destroyed trees everywhere.
Simultaneously, Russians had fully exhausted their combat capabilities in the north and were slowly being pushed back by Ukrainian counterattacks.
Seemingly, Ukrainians realized that this was their time to strike. As Ukrainians do not have superiority in manpower or artillery, they had to find another way to break the Russian defensive lines while maintaining their forces.
The destruction of the forest had left a massive amount of dead shrubbery, trees, and other burnable objects scattered throughout the forest, and most importantly enough, around positions that Russians were occupying.
Additionally, Russians had established numerous ammunition depots of various sizes to support their infantry in the forest.
Ukrainians were targeting these improvised storages with artillery and drone-dropped grenades, and as these munition depots started burning, fires began to spread throughout the forest.
Shortly thereafter, released footage shows huge smoke clouds filling up the sky. Russian military bloggers quickly stated that these forest fires were only raging in the Ukrainian section of the forest.
However, satellite analysis confirms that while the forest fire had spread to Ukrainian positions as well, these fires were predominantly raging in Russian sections of the forest.
Such a natural disaster has quickly turned this static frontline into a highly volatile situation. In such an inferno, it is impossible for either side to conduct offensive operations or even safely stay in their current positions.
As the satellite data shows, Russian sections of the forest were hit much harder than Ukrainian sections, so Ukrainians will likely be able to take advantage of this sudden development.
In the aftermath of the forest fires, the Ukrainian Khortytsia group of forces spokesperson, Colonel Nazar Voloshyn, stated that Ukrainian forces had improved their tactical position in the Serebryansky forest.
For now, the situation remains unclear, as both Russian and Ukrainian units in the area have been too busy adapting to this event to publish any credible frontline updates.
Russian military analysts fear that Ukrainians will be able to take advantage of the situation by taking control over a large part of the forest, putting even more pressure on the already depleted Russian salient to the North and the city of Kreminna.

Over the past night, a number of attempts by the Kiev regime to carry out terrorist attacks using American ATACMS operational-tactical missiles, French Hammer guided bombs, American HARM anti-radar missiles, large-caliber missiles and aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles on targets on the territory of the Russian Federation were stopped.
By air defense duty systems, 10 ATACMS operational-tactical missiles were destroyed over the territory of the Crimean Peninsula, 2 HARM anti-radar missiles, 2 Hammer guided bombs, 2 Vilkha MLRS rockets and 9 UAVs were destroyed over the territory of the Belgorod region, 5 UAVs were destroyed over the Kursk region and three UAVs were intercepted over the territory of the Bryansk region.

Bad news from Sevastopol. We lost planes, air defense systems and military personnel
As a result of the shelling of Sevastopol by ATACMS missiles, we, unfortunately, suffered serious losses.
“The enemy hit the planes at the Belbek airfield - one MiG-31 was lost and completely destroyed. 3 Su-27s were damaged, they were hit by submunitions from missiles. Now we are finding out whether it will be possible to repair them. We hope so,” a Defense Ministry source told us.
Also lost were 2 air defense launchers (S-300 and S-400) and a radar.
Unfortunately, 11 military personnel were killed.
In connection with this strike, we would like to appeal to the Ministry of Defense. We really respect your work!
But when you talk about how all enemy missiles are shot down, and some of them hit our targets, this leads to tragic consequences.
Even the military (there is nothing to say about the civilian population), confident that they will shoot down everything, stop using shelters and relax. The result is loss of life.
We hope that with the arrival of the new Minister of Defense the situation will change. The truth is important, and we know that Andrei Belousov understands this.

“BREAKING: VIDEO OF SLOVAKIA PRIME MINISTER ROBERTO FICO BEING DRAGGED AWAY AFTER HE WAS SHOT MULTIPLE TIMES”
https://twitter.com/ShaykhSulaiman/status/1790738625165951134
Defense Express suggests that the target of the ATACMS strikes could have been enemy MiG-31s. Earlier, the CyberBoroshno channel showed satellite images for March 31, where you can see in detail where which planes are located at this airbase. Among them were four MiG-31s. In turn, OSINT specialist Osinttechnical noted that the fire covered the southern part of the airfield.
"If we compare these images and the map of fires on the airfield area after the strike, we can assume that ATACMS could have hit the MiG-31s," Defense Express writes.
However, it is emphasized that satellite images with the placement of aircraft are not new.
