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.

In the video clip from Sevastopol, it looks like a rapidly maneuvering missile striking a ship. I wonder if this was one of the cruise missile launchers (which might be related on yesterday’s attack on cruise missile shipment through Dzhankoi, to suppress Russian missile barrages)?
Newsweek (https://www.newsweek.com/sevastopol-crimea-russia-strikes-drone-explosions-attacks-1789445):
“Ukrainian naval drones had tried to strike coastal bays in Sevastopol. However, they had been stopped by Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, the Moscow-backed Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said on his Telegram channel.
Video of a fire near the entrance to the Sevastopol Bay is circulating on social media, although it was unclear exactly what was burning.
Razvozhayev wrote that, at around 5 a.m. Wednesday, three objects had been destroyed. He added that Navy crew fired at them using small arms and that air defense was also involved. “The warships were not damaged,” Razvozhayev said, in comments also reported by state news agency RIA Novosti.
In a follow-up post, the governor said that “Ukronazis” had launched an “information attack.” Radio signals had been intercepted to spread news that passengers on ferries were being evacuated. “Of course, this is a lie,” Razvozhayev added (officially denied - that confirms it). However, maritime passenger transport was suspended in Sevastopol on Wednesday morning, according to the Telegram channel of Transport Sevastopol.
RIA reported that explosions had shattered windows in two central city buildings.”
He simply can’t believe that so many conservatives have become America haters who can’t see how important it is TO US to stop Putin. And the pathetic ‘blame America’ mentality for Russia’s evil invasion. He goes into every aspect of the situation, and he’s PO’d. Find his radio show if you’re inclined. It’s a daily affair.

"BAKHMUT AXIS /1545 UTC 22 MAR/ RU continues ‘round the clock’ assaults on Orikhovo-Vasylivka, Dubovo-Vasylivka, Hyrhorivka, Bohdanivka and urban Bakhmut. UKR forces broke up a Russian VDV assault on Klischiivka. RU units are losing high numbers of men and equipment."

See #47
ISW: “The Wagner Group may lose most of its convict force in the upcoming weeks as convicts finish their six-month military contracts. (they are no longer allowed to recruit any more prisoners)
The UK Ministry of Defense (MoD) assessed that thousands of Wagner convicts who were recruited during fall 2022 will be pardoned and released, given that Wagner appears to be sticking to its promise of releasing convicts after six months of service.
The UK MoD forecasted that the exodus of convict forces would worsen Wagner personnel shortages as the Kremlin has also blocked Wagner from recruiting additional prisoners.
The Kremlin had previously confirmed on January 27 that Russian President Vladimir Putin is issuing preemptive pardons for convicts who serve in Russian combat operations in Ukraine. The Kremlin’s announcement aligns with the ISW-established timeline of Putin’s decision to completely distance himself from Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin following the fall of Soledar, Donetsk Oblast, on January 12–13. The Kremlin had likely deliberately authorized the publicization of pre-emptive pardons to incentivize more Wagner convicts to leave following the expiration of their contracts to further erode the Wagner force.”
Thanks, I am with him (Mark Levin) on that.
Russian information ops have had some success, but a good bit of what we see is still simulated, rather than actual support for Putin - like the fake polls put out before elections, to influence rather than reflect opinion.
A guy commented on a fiance show that stocks like AAPL an MSFT are good buys because they do not need bank loans to operate for at least several years, since they have so much cash on hand.
AAPL and MSFT are good...

I’m going to be right on my call for Fed rate CUTS by the end of the year. Despite the people on FR who mocked my predictions posted in December.

A huge queue is shown by a local resident in a new cemetery in Vladivostok, Russian Far East. According to them, there was not a single grave in this location just in December. Mobilisation in effect.

Deutsche Telekom reached a secret deal with Huawei to blunt the impact of US sanctions against the Chinese firm, according to @handelsblatt. Many parallels between the Nord Stream 2 fiasco and Berlin’s handling of the 5G question. Current government will need to rectify
“I’m going to be right on my call for Fed rate CUTS by the end of the year.”
They recently expanded their balance sheet slightly, in response to the bank failures, so quantitative easing is not beyond the possible either, depending on how things go.
Deutsche Telekom: Huge financial penalty required.
“Survey: 65% of Europeans support Ukraine joining EU in next few years.
According to survey findings published by the Bertelsmann Foundation on March 22, 61% of Europeans also favor the EU providing weapons to Ukraine to defend itself against Russia.”

Local Russian media are reporting an explosion in Kursk tonight, presumably somewhere on the side of the airport.
All of those prisoners, criminals, neurotics, losers, dangerous, amoral, self-pitying victims of life men when they went into prison, now juiced up with their post-war view of life and their exposure to sophisticated weapons and training, except for the 3 or 4 guys killed at the front of course.
This could be a problem in Russia for years to come.
