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.

“The Offensive Before the Offensive: Ukraine Strikes Behind Russian Lines”
“Kyiv aims to destroy ammunition, fuel and other supplies as it seeks to starve Russian forces in the field ahead of broader ground campaign”
“Early this month, four drones attacked a Russian oil refinery almost 300 miles from Ukraine. The next day, another drone hit it. Not long after another drone bombed a fuel depot on the other side of Russia, near Belarus.
Call it the offensive before the offensive. Strike by pinpoint strike, Ukraine is taking aim at ammunition stores and caches of other supplies that Moscow’s forces need to fight, seeking to weaken them ahead of a broader ground campaign to push back the Russian invaders.
Ukrainian leaders say they are waiting for more Western weapons to arrive before launching what has been billed as a “spring offensive” that is now likely to play out over the summer, spearheaded by newly trained units equipped with Western-supplied tanks, armored fighting vehicles and artillery.”
RuZZia FAILED again – as they usually do.
“A Ukrainian-operated Patriot air defense system — the most advanced air defense system in the U.S. arsenal — was damaged in the recent attack, a U.S. official said Tuesday, speaking on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue. The extent of the damage is unclear, the official said, but it is unlikely that Ukraine will need to ship it to another country for repair.”
“The US-made Patriot air defense system could not be destroyed by a Kinzhal missile, Yurii Ihnat, spokesperson for Ukraine’s Air Force Command, has told Ukrainian TV.
Inhat said Ukrainians should “not worry about the fate of the Patriot,” as it is made up of components that are not all positioned in the same location. Hence, a single missile could not destroy the whole system.
“This is how it works on air targets,” he explained. “It can operate in three modes: manual, semi-automatic and automatic. It is Patriot’s automatic mode that allows it to shoot down air targets without human interference, as it did last night. Next, there is a radar that provides information, it is located at a distance, and up to 8 launchers, each with four transport and launch containers, which are also located at a certain distance and do combat work – launching missiles,” Ihnat said.”
“How Ukraine turned the tables on Russia’s aerial assault with these Western weapons”
“It’s the big question that has Russian military commanders scratching their heads: What’s made Ukraine’s air defenses so impenetrable all of a sudden?
This month alone, Russia has launched eight waves of missile attacks on the Ukrainian capital, the latest of them a bombardment in the early hours of Tuesday that involved at least 18 missiles of various types and a swarm of drones.
Yet Kyiv claims to have escaped with barely a scratch, denying any of the missiles or drones hit their targets.”

“American killed in Ukraine blast believed to be Boise Army veteran training civilians”
“A retired U.S. military veteran from Idaho helping Ukraine combat Russia’s invasion is believed to have been killed on the front lines in eastern Ukraine.
Nick Maimer, 45, of Boise, had for the last year been training civilian volunteers in Ukraine’s ongoing effort to defend its borders. Maimer, a former Army Green Beret, died when a Russian artillery shell destroyed a building where he was positioned during intensified fighting in the city of Bakhmut, according to Perry Blackburn, who helped recruit Maimer to Kyiv last May.
“From what I understand, he was providing them with firsthand training in that area so that they can continue to do the fight, and he got caught behind enemy lines,” Blackburn, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, told the Idaho Statesman by phone. “It’s just a crazy, crazy time right now. And then having Nick die over there, it’s just brutal.”

And the RuZZian Boys think UA will run out of artillery shells…
“In January of this year it was reported that Turkey transferred an unknown amount of cluster 155mm projectiles (DPICM) to Ukraine. Finally, we can visually confirm this- here’s a Ukrainian soldier with a plenty of M483A1 projectiles made by MKE.”
“Each of these projectiles contain 64 M42 and 24 M46 dual-purpose submunitions which are ejected from the carrier-projectile whilst in flight, and then scatter around the area, detonating on impact.”

1.) The end of Ukraine aid is rapidly approaching. Reupping it won’t be easy

2.) Corsi: How Hillary Clinton Began the Ukraine War in Ukraine
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/05/corsi-how-hillary-clinton-began-the-ukraine-war-in-2013/
3.) The Durham report has shown, as others have said, that the FBI refused to investigate her crooked foundation and Clinton’s involvement in creating the controversy surrounding Trump’s collusion with Russia.
And as Yoland here at FR said:
The Hillary Clinton “Trump- Russia” hate hoax with the knowledge and encouragement of then President Obama, Vice President Biden, and the Democrat Party and corporate press has shaken our trust in our Government. The evil machinations of the FBI, CIA, DOJ, foreign intelligence agents is sickening. Worst still, nobody has faced consequences for their lies and sabotage.
Why should anybody support the Biden Administration’s Ukraine’s war against Russia. Why support corruption? We have ample proof our Government lies.
I for one do not support World War 3.
The pro-Hillary crowd lashes out and/or attacks the messenger when this is all brought up, anything byt criticize Hillary.
4.) Trump publicly confirmed the Obama State Dept was behind the Maidan uprising in Ukraine [which has led to all of this mess].
