A detailed list of the destroyed and captured vehicles and equipment of both sides can be seen below. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

“If accurate, then this story again shows the ability of Ukrainian forces to conduct strikes in Russian territory using long-range assets. However, they can come at a cost.
Perhaps the loss of a TB-2, easily replacable, is worth the destruction of critical Russian infrastructure.”

“Whilst all of this remains unconfirmed from any side (TB-2 usage has been under quite an embargo recently) it is bolstered by the fact that Ru sources show a TB-2 downed over #Kursk Oblast this AM.
Our UA sources claim it was taken down after the strike, on the way back to base.”

Falling from the sky…

What goodies could be coming in from Turkey? Bayraktar, Bayraktar, Bayraktar.

Russia is bleeding out a couple of hundred million dollars worth of hardware every couple of weeks. That is unsustainable for the economic pygmy.
It appears the hardware was not worth all that much.
The biggest loss is their appearance of strength.
What matters is replacement cost, not valuation at kaboom time.
Remember that 18 YO German kid, Mathias Rust, who landed his Cessna in Red Square back in the 80s? Totally undetected all the way from West Germany, at the peak of Russian/Soviet power.
Oh, I had forgotten about that incident.
It was 1987. That was the year I graduated from college in AZ and was unemployed and trying to find my first job.
How time flies.
Luckily for Ukraine, the invaders are incompetent.

That was Uke special forces putting pennies on those tracks. It is funny seeing a Russia tank on it’s back like a stranded turtle.

Very unfortunate when city hall spontaneously explodes.
“Explosion in Russian-occupied Kreminna results in casualties: A senior official in Ukraine’s Interior Ministry says there has been a large explosion in the town of Kreminna in the Luhansk region, an area recently occupied by Russian forces. Anton Gerashchenko said the explosion took place at an administrative building in the town. Ukrainian forces withdrew from Kreminna last week. “As a result of a gas explosion in the city council’s building in Kreminna, no one survived,” he said on Telegram. CNN cannot verify the number of casualties nor the origin of the explosion. “
“Head of Luhansk regional administration Serhiy Haidai says explosion happened at meeting of occupation authorities at city hall in Kreminna town “

The fun begins for the occupiers. They will be endlessly picked off.
A little blast from the past:
After crossing the line of departure in the Gulf War, American and Allied forces destroyed over 3,000 tanks in under 100 hours. A lot more of other types of vehicles.
In one contact (73 Easting), now retired LTG H.R. McMaster, then a Cavalry Captain, engaged the Iraqi Republican Guards Elite Tawakalna Division. His 9 M1A1 tanks of Eagle Troop (2nd ACR) destroyed 28 Iraqi (Russian) tanks, 16 personnel carriers and 30 trucks in 23 minutes with no American losses.
When we set our minds to killing tanks, we know how to get it done. The Western artillery and armor on its way into the Ukraine is going to have its effects. It sucks to be a Russian in one of their bomb magnets, and it is probably going to suck even worse in the future.
I’m really hopeful the western arms can allow UA to go on the offensive.
I’d guess that the Russians get to take their punch over the next couple of weeks, and then it’s the Ukrainians turn.
So far their big Donbas Offensive is not achieving much.
It is looking more and more like Russia is in for a Strategic drubbing. They deserve it.
Economic effects are supposed to get more noticeable in June, when the defaults and the layoffs start to mount.
