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.

Tin Sontsia - With Thunder and Fire#ukraine https://t.co/LykNvjDlDT— Dmytro Turutin (D.Fury) 🇺🇦 (@FurykDayermon) October 14, 2022
Your stats are 5720 Ukrainian tanks and armored vehicles destroyed. Sperry’s stats are 296.
That is a considerable variation. I have doubted his numbers from day 1 because if true the Ukrainian military would be the most effective and lethal military in human history and rivaled only be the mythical Spartan “300” which is ridiculous, laughable and complete BS. To wit, they sent their most lethal man to the US. Aka that fat traitorous POS doughboy Vindman.
Ukraine’s military and civilian losses must be catastrophic. It will be interesting, and I suspect jaw dropping to see the true stats when this war finally ends and genuine accounting is available.

There are reports that Russians are starting to evacuate residents of Kherson, an indication that Ukraine’s southern offensive is succeeding.

Excerpt:
Things continue to go badly for the Russian troops recently called up in what Russia calls a “partial mobilization” of some 300,000 men as Ukraine continues to regain lost territory. The BBC is reporting that mobilized reservists “speak about their command in such a way that it cannot be quoted, they claim that they have never even been to the firing range, and they had to dig in on the front line with bayonet-knives.”
According to some claims, those mobilized reservists, who the Ukrainians derisively refer to as “mobiks” really hate their commanders. Reports are emerging that some of those green troops near Kherson killed their commanding officer who prevented them from surrendering. The War Zone could not verify that claim.
But some of those troops didn’t need to kill their commander, because they apparently managed a successful surrender after just a short time on the battlefield.
The lack of supplies and training provided to these troops is not playing well with Putin’s mouthpieces in the Russian media.

-—> Ukraine To Receive HAWK, Aspide Surface-To-Air Missiles From Spain <——
Along with Spain’s air defense donations, France’s Crotale short-range air defense system may also be headed to Ukraine.
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/ukraine-to-receive-hawk-aspide-surface-to-air-missiles-from-spain
Excerpt:
In a press briefing held Thursday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced that Spain would be sending four medium-range Homing All the Way Killer (HAWK) air defense systems to Ukraine. The country is also providing Kyiv with ground-based Aspide anti-aircraft missile systems, on which 19 Ukrainian servicemen have been training since early October. French President Emmanuel Macron has yet to reveal which specific air defense systems France intends to send to Ukraine, but all signs are currently pointing to the Crotale short-range missile system.
Reminiscent of the U.S.-made AIM-7 Sparrow, the Aspide missile comes in four different variants, Mk.1, Mk.2, 2000, and Citedef. While it is unclear which model will be sent to Ukraine, Spain in the past has purchased the Aspide 2000 variant that can be launched from the export versions of the Skyguard short-range air-defense (SHORAD) system designed by Oerlikon Contraves now known as Rheinmetall Air Defense and the Spada 2000 SHORAD system built by Selenia. The Aspide 2000 missile system features a semi-active radar-homing seeker and can effectively engage targets at a range of up to 15 miles (25 km) while flying at speeds of Mach 4. It’s equipped with a 77-pound (35-kg) high-lethality fragmentation warhead and a high-thrust single-stage rocket motor.

Military Situation:
On the 13th there was a batch of the Russian attacks against the energy infrastructure, but they were roughly 10% of what they used to be in the previous two days. What I’m seeing now is that it looks like there is another round of attacks.
The President of Belarus created a state of emergency there, or anti-terrorist attack emergency situation, but there are no terrorists there. Its an opportunity to seize even more power and trade even more control over the lives of ordinary people in Belarus.
There are rumors that he will prevent Belarus citizens from leaving Belarus so they can be mobilized into the army. That also tells us that there is a chance that Belarus will join Russian forces, and not even sure if its going to be in Ukraine, or this this war is gonna spill over ... who knows, but they are preparing for something, and its not not a good sign, not a good news.
••State Border:
Ukraine created a bunch of retaliation attacks against Russian energy infrastructure, at least what it could reach, because the Ukraine doesn’t have long range missiles. It hit a couple of transformers in a Belogrod or in Belogrod area and also somewhere in the Kursk region near the border. Ukraine tried to hit back as much as it could, but its nothing to the Russian energy system because its huge; its pretty much it didn’t even notice the attacks, its more for propaganda attacks.
••North Luhansk’:
Things here are without much change. Ukrainian troops are advancing at a snail’s space, and there are reports they are coming closer to Svatove. Unfortunately, there’s not enough information to update. This extremely slow paced advance is a lost opportunity; and that lost opportunity translates into many more lost human lives as a result of the lost opportunity and as a result of the slowdown.
Russian troops are literally building an industrial defense system on this front line in on this north front line. They they putting dragon teeth at least two rows. Apparently, also they are building trenches or anti-tank ditches behind the dragon’s teeth. But the building in from industrial way on defensive line there so almost like a mini-Maginot Line or maybe a Siegfried Line, almost a Stalin Line.
This translates into a lot of problems for Ukrainian troops down the road, trying to overcome that system; also there are many Russian conscripts already on the front line, specifically here in North Luhansk’ frontline. Anecdotally, it looks like some of them are surrendering; they are talking to Ukrainian soldiers and negotiating saying, ‘we’ll surrender, let’s arrange that’, and some of them do surrender; this is anecdotal. I’m not saying this is everywhere, but this happens.
This tells us that the fighting spirit is not there, and part of the reason is how they are being treated as people, because they are, literally, sent by their commanders somewhere without any instructions, in the darkness: just go there and sit there; no communication or nothing, and they don’t feel they want to fight, if they’ve been treated like that.
You cannot succeed fighting like that; they totally understand that, and that’s probably why some of them decided to surrender without even Ukrainian troops putting any pressure there, because they feel abandoned and desperate. Its a logical decision to surrender.
There are already reports in Russia that some of these conscripts are dying in meaningful numbers. There was one small report that surfaced in ??Chalabits??region, the head of that region said we got five dead from the front line in Ukraine; this is just the tip of the iceberg - this is just one region, one case.
There’s definitely much more going on, I just want to make it very clear because some people say, ‘okay well this conscripts they totally not prepared, and they are thrown into the battle unprepared’. That is probably happening, but this is not a systemic issue, not systemic approach.
The majority of those who need that training are still in their training areas, so those who dying, are those who had previous a military experience which was pretty fresh and relevant. They don’t need much to refresh, so those are sent in the first place to the battlefield because Russian command is desperate: they really need people on the ground, because they cannot create the front line without them.
••North Donbas:
Today, there were no advances by Wagner mercenaries - they continue hammering and Ukrainian defenses. They have zero success. Over the past month and a half, two months they advanced. This is probably the only part of the Russian military that’s still able is able to achieve something ... to make some some advances, have some successes, limited successes. They’re not anything huge or major, but at least, for Russian propaganda, they can say there is something positive going on.
Adding to this is Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin, the manager of Wagner mercenaries or the face figure for all of the system because this whole system is really part of the KGB system and he’s not really owner. He’s just the figurehead for the world external, for the external world.
What he’s trying to do now is trying to build on this relative success; and he has started to overshadow Russian military top, specifically Russian Minister of Defense. He started commenting on the actions of the Russian Ministry of Defense, and they are not successful actions.
Many people start to think that he is becoming too prominent, too strong, that Putin may consider removing him, because he can potentially create a threat to the center of the power; that he can potentially displace Putin, if there is internal coup.
Its not going to change anything, because Prigozhin is even more aggressive and capable than Putin. That’s not going to change anything from what’s going on now, but internally there is t definitely tension within their Russian top because all of the failures.
If you have failures, the natural step is to search for new leaders, search for new approaches. As a result of that he can potentially raise to power in Russia. I’m not saying this is happening, but this is something that needs to be paid attention to and watched, because he’s clearly has that aspiration in him.
••Central Donbas:
Russian troops are continuing to advance. They advance 20 meters every day or 50 meters every day, as a result, its just tiny progress which has been going on for well more than a month and a half, but probably almost two months. This is extremely slow progress, but nevertheless, we see some some progress.
••Kherson Bridgehead:
No major Ukrainian offenses. For whatever reason we don’t have an explanation why Ukrainian command was not paying enough attention to the situation with the bridges, and they were somewhat rebuilt. From what we’ve seen, there are reports that there were again attacks by HIMARS against those bridges. I don’t know how successful they were, but there were attacks again to destroy those pontoon bridges ferries and those those artificial bridges.
Its odd that Tyler Rogoway, a huge lefty, omits the larger campaign by the Russians is against the Ukraine power and electrical grid. Which, as a result, is nearing total collapse. Blackouts are now common by region. Beyond that, without power Ukraine, is limited to using maybe 60 or less diesel powered locomotives for the trains that carry troops and ammo to the front.
The Biscuit.
“People have seen this in movies, where the submarine or the nuclear silo or the bomber gets a message to start World War Three,” said Mr. Houghton, a nuclear intelligence scholar who took the helm of the museum in late 2020. “But before they do that, they go into their safe and they pull out a little card that they break to make sure the message is actually from the president.”
The U.S. government has in the past disclosed little information about the cards, though Stephen Schwartz, a specialist in nuclear weapons and a senior fellow at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, said the U.S. president carries a card nicknamed the biscuit at all times.
“It’s basically a special laminated card around the size of a credit card sealed inside this plastic case that you crack open,” Mr. Schwartz said.
When President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981, the FBI grabbed his clothes from the operating-room floor of George Washington University Hospital as evidence, sparking a fight with the White House Military Office over the biscuit believed to be among the garments, Mr. Schwartz recalled. President Jimmy Carter inadvertently sent his biscuit to a dry cleaner in a suit jacket, and President Bill Clinton reportedly lost his biscuit, he added.
that’s fine. As long they DONT spend our billions. If you really are from Texas (which i effing doubt) then sending billions to the border is more worthwhile than spending to a 3rd world corrupt ATM for WEF and the cia called Ukraine, right?
I heard that Clinton traded his Biscuit for sex.
Belgorod power plant (also a thermal plant for for Soviet-style community heating):
Thanks for the ping!
At the start of the war, Russia had a total of 1844 High Precision Missiles of the types in the graphic.
To date, they have expended a total of 609 of the missiles.
Therefore, the Russians have 1235 High Precision Missiles remaining.
These missiles are an expensive and inefficient way to deliver conventional ordnance.
They are great for high priority targets that are heavily defended. They are also great for converting heavily defended areas into lightly defended areas, allowing bombers and fighter bombers to drop large quantities of ordnance on the target.
Adding up the warhead weight of all remaining missiles, it totals to approximately the same weight as ordnance carried on 27 B-52 sorties.
These numbers show the importance of air supremacy.
I believe that they are saying that the majority of Russian long range “precsion” (inRussian terms) strike missiles, have already been used, and only about 600 remain in inventory.
Speedy does not unquestionably accept numbers put out by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. Consensus opinion is that they inflate their numbers. But there is reason to believe that such missiles will be among the very first that the Russians will run low on.
“These numbers show the importance of air supremacy”
It seems that the balance in the air has been shifting towards Ukraine’s favor. I expect a lot more NATO Air Defense assets to start flooding the zone, after Putin’s recent missile tantrum.
According to the Russian MOD, Ukrainian Armed Forces combat equipment losses were over 100% before July.
So just how was Russia not able to defeat Ukraine completely before HIMARS and the heavy weapons arrived?
Is that above your grade?
Keep up with your fan favorite CIA/MI6 front ORYX....their info more up to your speed cause lord forbid, we don’t want those CIA/MI6 front numbers to be proven utter BS. Kthx.
In total, Ukrainian losses amount to 322 airplanes and 161 helicopters, 2,226 unmanned aerial vehicles, 380 air defence missile systems, 5,753 tanks and other armoured combat vehicles, 869 combat vehicles equipped with MLRS, 3,473 field artillery cannons and mortars, as well as 6,560 units of special military vehicles have been destroyed during the special military operation.
#25. Cranked is using Russian MOD numbers from briefings by General Igor Konashenkov. The Russian numbers of Ukrainian losses are so wildly inflated Ukraine is now using undead tanks and equipment in addition to undead soldiers.
I’ll add my 2 cents - does the number above each missile type reflect the total Russia had at the start of the war, or does it reflect the total manufactured, or a NATO guess? Where do the numbers come from and what is the confidence in those numbers?
Total manufactured would have to have the numbers used for tests, live fire exercises, used in Syria/Libya etc, subtracted to determine how many remained on Feb 24.
Further, does the smaller number represent only the number of hits from a type or does it count the the total number launched with the 40-60% failure rate?
