Is there a warranty on any of this stuff? If so, get a label and send it back to Amazon. lol
Russia did warn the Checks that if they sent Soviet manufactured equipment to the Ukrain, the warranty would be voided and the Ukrainians would not be eligible to use the customer service hotline.
Russian equipment losses
Russia - 2961, of which: destroyed: 1571, damaged: 44, abandoned: 239, captured: 1107
Ukraine equipment losses
Ukraine - 823, of which: destroyed: 383, damaged: 22, abandoned: 35, captured: 383
If your numbers are true—then the russians have no more equipment.
That’s kind of tough to believe.
If your numbers are true - then the russians have no more equipment.

Those are total numbers, not any one individual type. The Russians have plenty of equipment - condition is another matter.
For individual numbers, Russian has lost maybe 20% of its operational tanks. Each tank destroyed likely accounts for 3 lost soldiers. Most of the equipment losses are trucks and armored personal carriers of which they have thousands. However, there is a rumor that the Russians in the Izum region have taken to using civilian trucks for whatever reason.
there is also a rumor that the main Russian tank manufacture, Uralvogonzavod, has shut due to chip shortage.
Just watched, on German tv, Ukrainian drone footage of a Russian convoy in Mariupol coming under fire and being destroyed.
I was expecting to see tanks, or at least half-tracks, or at least military vehicles - but it was a "column" of three/four brightly-colored civilian vehicles (don't ask me to name the models!) that were shot up / blown up. They were led by a single identifiably military vehicle. So the Russians have been reduced to using (confiscated?) civilian vehicles? It's come to this?
Regards,
Its interesting that the official Ukrainian MOD count of destroyed/captured Russian tanks is npw only about 50% over Oryx’s documented count. That suggests that the Ukrainian count is probably quite accurate.
Both counts are likely to get less accurate as the fight becomes one over more static lines, with fewer opportunities to take pictures of Russian losses.
The Russians were already using ex-civilian trucks on the Kiev front IIRC.
It seems that the Russian Army was short of military trucks in any case, and its heavy losses during its attempt at mobile warfare didnt help.
This move is not unprecedented. The Germans did this in 1941 and later, confiscating civilian vehicles all over Europe. Israel did this in all its wars till 1973. The US contracted with Pakistani companies to supply forces in Afghanistan. Etc.
“U.S. military will soon begin training Ukrainian forces outside the country on the 18 x 155mm howitzers and 40,000 rounds the White House ordered rushed to Ukraine ahead of Russia’s expected Donbas offensive”
I assume “outside the country” means training in Poland.
“No nuclear warheads aboard Russia’s flagship sunk in the Black Sea last week: U.S. senior defense official”
“U.S. and European sanctions have limited Russia’s ability to resupply stocks of precision-guided munitions because of a lack of components: senior U.S. defense official
Western sanctions are also limiting overall defense production in Russia, the official said.”
“For days after the Moskva cruiser sank, Yulia Tsyvova had been desperately looking for information about her son. Today she received the call from the Russian defence ministry. Andrei was dead. “He was only 19, he was a conscript.””
These weren't trucks - they were passenger vehicles (automobiles / cars) of the kind one would expect to see parked in a supermarket parking lot, or in front of private residences.
Didn't mean to imply that it was unprecedented.
However, looks like a "loser move."
Regards,
I'm guess that the warheads had rolled off the deck during the rough waters they had been sailing through a few days earlier.
Glug-glug-glug!
Regards,
Though pro-Ukrainian, I still assume that a lot of those tanks listed as "destroyed" or "captured" had simply been abandoned by the Russians and that they were hence unmanned - so no "lost soldiers" in many cases.
