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.

No, I think they just made a significant correction downward in April. For a while there the April number was negative.
Removing duplicates I think.
That’s a good thing about Oryx. They let people audit their count and evidence.
Agreed those who doubt oryx don’t understand it or just want to cast stones. Waiting for the first t-55
“Weather is still wet and soil muddy. The 9 new brigades are ready for the offensive, but they are held back by the weather.”
“Traffic jams... between occupied regions of Kherson and Crimea.”
CJCS GEN Milley publicly said yesterday that the Ukrainian Units for the counteroffensive had met their readiness requirements. There has been heavy rain, and conditions did become muddy.
It may well be that they are now just waiting on the weather to clear.
If I had family in way over there, I would be trying to move them out now, and if I had moved in there to plunder, I would be looking to get out now, before I got caught.

250,000 Muslims praying on the streets of Moscow for Eid al-Fitr.
Tensions have been rising in recent weeks after Russians started protesting against the plans to build a new mega Mosque for 60 000 faithful in the city.

“Russia’s Medvedev Says G-7 Export Ban to Trigger Grain Deal Exit”
The grain deal won’t matter anymore, once the Russian Black Sea Flotilla is driven from Sevastopol.
If they are not driven out, we will be dealing with this (and other) crap in perpetuity.
Crimea must be freed.
Without a doubt, this mobnik got no training before being given a rifle and told to sit in a trench.

“this mobnik got no training before being given a rifle”
Chuck Norris once threw a grenade and killed 50 people.
Then when the grenade exploded, it killed a couple more.
LOL:
#Russia’s dystopia here and now. Warehouse workers at Wildberries, a Russian ripoff of Amazon, go through strip searches before starting and ending their shifts to mitigate theft.

“April tank loses says it all, they’re out of tanks.”
It seems RuZZia is now keeping tanks away from the front lines to preserve what numbers they have.
But your point has some merit. They are pulling T54s/T55s from storage because of the huge losses they’ve sustained.
Amazing if real, I wonder why they search them before, and do the security guards collect wages as they would for work, or do they have to pay to get the position?

Wagner Group boss tells his mercenaries ‘not to take POWs.’
“We will kill everyone on the battlefield. Take no more prisoners of the war!”, Prigozhin said on April 23 in an audio recording in response to a question posted on the Telegram account of his press service.

Apr 21
1/ Despite PMC Wagner’s reputation for heinous crimes and brutal tactics, certain aspects of their activities have received limited coverage. This thread illuminates the far-reaching influence of PMC Wagner and the significant security risks it poses to the global community
2/ The occupation of Soledar in the Donetsk region by the Wagner mercenaries provided the russian media with a significant success story, enabling them to shift the focus away from the army’s major operational failures and loss of control over the Kherson and Kharkiv regions.
3/ As the reputational bubble of Wagner continued to inflate, and the “PMC” was granted exceptional rights to recruit criminals, its head, Prigozhin, accused Defense Minister Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff Gerasimov of “treason” due to the lack of support and ammunition.
4/ To consolidate his power, putin relies more on conventional forces, which is why he has recently taken measures to curb Wagner’s internal influence. The NYT reported that putin attempted to resolve the conflict by calling for a meeting between Prigozhin and Shoigu on 22.02
5/ Wagner’s loss of ability to recruit from prisons has led to a growing dependence on the Ministry of Defense, as they now rely on conscripted soldiers who are forced to sign contracts with them amidst high mortality rate among convict mercenaries
6/ While some of you may be familiar with Wagner’s involvement in the russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Syria, their operations extend beyond these theaters. Wagner’s activities have been observed in Mali, Sudan, Libya, the Central African Republic, and Burkina Faso.
7/ PMC Wagner’s flexibility surpasses that of the russian army, thanks to their separate budget and unconventional methods. For instance, US Assistant Secretary of State for EAP, Daniel Kritenbrink, reported that Wagner obtained satellite images from the Chinese company, Spacety.
8/ Over the past decade, PMC Wagner has expanded its influence in Middle Eastern and African countries by filling power vacuums left by European nations and exploiting natural resources such as gold and precious stones. PMC’s annual income can be several billion US dollars.
9/ “Wagner” has been generating revenue from illegal mining and selling of gold and precious stones in the CAR, with an estimated annual income of around one billion dollars, according to Politico. The company began exploiting gold in the CAR in 2018 with around 2,000 mercenaries

10/ In 2023, the departure of French troops from Burkina Faso paved the way for the Wagner group to gain access to the country’s raw resources, including precious materials. The Wagner group has also attempted to establish a foothold in Mozambique and Madagascar.
11/ Given the evolving situation in Sudan, it is crucial to keep in mind that PMC Wagner has a vested interest in securing gold mines there and maintains connections with the RSF. Although there is currently no evidence of Wagner’s direct involvement, the situation can change
12/ Since 2021, UN experts in Mali received reports of executions, torture, rape, pillaging, detentions, and enforced disappearances. These atrocities were reportedly committed by the Malian armed forces and their allies such as Wagner in the Mopti area and other locations.

13/ Collaboration with Wagner should be strongly discouraged. While some countries have already imposed sanctions on the company’s mercenaries, such as freezing of assets and travel bans, more stringent and consolidated efforts are necessary to mitigate security risks from Wagner
14/ The designation of the “Wagner” as a transnational criminal organization by the US and Lithuania is a step that could lead to its international recognition as a criminal organization. Cooperation with Wagner will result in political and economic costs for participants
Sevastopol. Ukrainian surface drone attack tonight.
“Trenches in Zaporizhzia oblast...”
Flooded.
Clearly, weather conditions are not yet met.
“Sevastopol. Ukrainian surface drone attack tonight.”
Good hunting.
Putin is considering using the Black Sea fleet to defend southern Kherson region. I guess he didn’t learn anything from the Moskva.
