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. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers 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 the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it is 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.

The Russian military, the second largest military in the world, may not be what it looks like. Lies and systematic corruptions may in fact have dragged Russia into this war with Ukraine, which has been heavily backed up by the US and NATO. We will present the evidence, you make your own decision, because the Russian Army, is not what you think.

Designed to support the U.S. Army Captains Career Course, “Understanding Combined Arms Warfare” defines and outlines the important aspects of modern combined arms operations. This is not a complete history of combined arms warfare. It is intended to highlight the most important aspects of the subject.
The beginning of the documentary establishes a common understanding of combined arms warfare by discussing doctrinal and equipment developments in World War I. The second part compares the development of French and German Army mechanization during the interwar period and describes how each country fared during the Battle of France in 1940. The film concludes by showing how the United States applied combined arms operations in the European Theater in World War II.

[ New Tactic | Ukrainians Capture The Whole Forest in 1 Hour ]
••Day 478: Jun 16
Today there is a lot of news from the Orikhiv direction.
After a short pause due to unsuitable for fights weather conditions, Ukrainians have finally launched their next series of attacks. The most intense clashes took place around Lobkove.
Over the last several days, Ukrainians have conducted a series of light-reconnaissance operations around Zherebianky, and judging by today’s actions, the main goal of these reconnaissance attacks was to see where Russian firing points in Zherebianky are and how Ukrainians can secure their flanks against a counterattack from this village.
Today in the morning, Ukrainians finally launched the first assault in the direction of Pitykhatky.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that Piatykhatky is also located in the lowlands, which is why it became the next logical target.
Russian sources reported that Ukrainians used 5 armored fighting vehicles and 2 tanks.
Russian sources also reported that Ukrainians started applying a new tactic, which proved to work much better on the Zaporizhia front: Ukrainians are quickly delivering their assault units directly to the contact line with various armored carriers, the carriers immediately leave while several tanks provide fire support from a distance and drone operators help to navigate the situation on the ground.
The reason why this tact works better than direct heavy assaults is that in most places, Russians have created multiple small defensive positions instead of one big fortification.
Such conditions require extremely high mobility of small assault units for the highest efficiency of attacks.
After 1 hour of continuous fights Ukrainians reportedly completely chased Russians from probably the most important position in this region - the forest.
This forest is 1 km long and 300 meters wide, which means that the assault went extremely swiftly. The forest gives a substantial tactical advantage.
Not only does it allow hiding and accumulating assault units right on the doorstep of 2 Russian-controlled settlements, but it also secures Ukrainian flanks against a sudden counterattack from Zhebianky.
After achieving this initial success, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians started preparing reinforcements to develop their success even more. Shortly, Ukrainians were ready and launched the next series of attacks.
One small assault unit approached Russians from the northern bank of the river and opened fire on Russian positions, which made Russian troops less agile, while the second assault unit attacked the settlement from the southern bank of the river, more precisely from the forest.
After around 1 hour of intense clashes, Ukrainians pushed Russians out of the western part of the settlement.
Russian sources reported that Russian forces faced many difficulties in rebuffing the Ukrainian attack, primarily because prior to the attack, Ukrainians once again used Remote Anti-Armor Mine shells to mine the roads for the Russian reserves.
However, even after Russian reserves finally arrived, they did not have enough forces to make a decisive blow, and both parties got stuck.
Both parties heavily relied on artillery, however, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians prioritized counterbattery fire over direct support of the units on the ground, and Russians were forced to respond reciprocally, so 2 separate battles took place here simultaneously: between the infantry and between the batteries.
In order to break the situation, Russian forces requested airstrikes on Ukrainian positions, and soon, the Russian assault helicopters Ka-52 arrived on the spot and started targeting Ukrainians with missiles.
The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Ukrainians managed to shoot down one of those helicopters in the process.
In the end, it seems like Ukrainians had to retreat to the forest, and they did not manage to establish full control over the settlement at this time.
Nonetheless, even the most prominent Russian sources admit that Ukrainian almost took the village, which is why they are expecting a new attack on Piatykhatky very soon.
And this new attack will likely be even harder to repel, as Ukrainians now understand the setting much better and will avoid many mistakes.
After Piatykhatky, the next logical step is Zherebianky, which due to the local geography, will require even more coordination between multiple assault units in multiple directions and tactical excellence.
••Kherson region:
Near Nova Kakhovka, UA troops landed on the south side of the Dnipr River yesterday. No news if the operation was successful or not.
Russia fired everything they have into the general area: artillery shells, rockets, and drones, including aviation strikes, losing 2 Ka-52 helicopters. Shelling also reached the Ukrainian side of the river as well.
==
Next year, there is a strong possibility that the UA will have around 50 ATACMs, if the proposed defense bill passes.
==
Zelensky said that Russia is planning to destroy or demolish the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, if the UA Offensive is successful. That action by Russia will cause the biggest technological and environmental disaster in human history. It will be 6 times worse than Chernobyl.
Putin will just go to the Far East and be safe - every other country around Ukraine, including Russia, will be in harms way. The destruction of the dam proves they are not above causing huge environmental and human disasters.
Russia will claim innocence, blaming it on Ukraine for blowing the dam.
==
Putin’s Fantasy Land:
Putin, in a public venue, claimed Russia has 10X fewer casualties than Ukraine. But just a few days ago, he said it was 3X less. Further, Russia has destroyed 5 of the 2 Patriot systems, and if something goes wrong with Russian sovereignty, he will use nukes.
==
In other acts of pure genius, the same day the African delegation arrives in Kiev on their way to Moscow to negotiate a cease fire & peace agreement, Putin launches a rocket attack on the city.
However, the leader of the African group said he heard nothing, and did not acknowledge that the Patriot systems saved his rear end.

The Kadyrov Tic Tokers were sent to protect the Belgorod Oblast. These fierce fighters refused to engage the RFL and stayed behind the Russian army units to provide security behind the front.

I wonder why anybody really thinks they know what is going on, what the precise losses are on both sides.
Ukraine, now, will never be able to win this war. If the Russians pull out tomorrow entirely, Ukraine has lost. The little thug running the government may parade around even more like the cock-of-the-walk, but the country is in shambles and there is no telling how many Ukrainians have been killed and wounded.
The Biden administration is liable for all of this. It refused to jump in before the shooting started to try to calm things down and give assurances to Putin. And if Putin is irrational as is billed, the entire world is in peril. Biden seemingly gave Russia the go-ahead to take those two eastern provinces.
There is no government, evidently, seeking to stop the fighting. It is like a replay of the beginning of World War I. An European war, they figured, would be too horrible for any clear thinking person to want to happen, so therefore it would not happen.
That is a lie! The Russians have heron out of rockets and ammunition since March of 22! Lol.
Only nutjobs believe their own propaganda.
