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 Russian military, the second largest military in the world, may not be what it looks like. Lies and systematic corruptions may in fact have dragged Russia into this war with Ukraine, which has been heavily backed up by the US and NATO. We will present the evidence, you make your own decision, because the Russian Army, is not what you think.

Designed to support the U.S. Army Captains Career Course, “Understanding Combined Arms Warfare” defines and outlines the important aspects of modern combined arms operations. This is not a complete history of combined arms warfare. It is intended to highlight the most important aspects of the subject.
The beginning of the documentary establishes a common understanding of combined arms warfare by discussing doctrinal and equipment developments in World War I. The second part compares the development of French and German Army mechanization during the interwar period and describes how each country fared during the Battle of France in 1940. The film concludes by showing how the United States applied combined arms operations in the European Theater in World War II.

Excerpt:
The Pentagon tomorrow will announce a new aid package that will include additional Bradley Fighting Vehicles and Stryker Armored Vehicles, a U.S. official tells The War Zone.
“I can confirm that the next Presidential Drawdown Package (expected tomorrow) contains roughly two dozen Bradleys and Strykers,” a U.S. official said in a statement to The War Zone.
To date, the U.S. has donated 109 M2A2-ODS Bradley variants and four B-FIST variants as well as as 90 Strykers.

——>Armor Expert Breaks Down Ukraine’s Loss Of Bradleys During Breaching Operation <——
The crews of the first Bradleys known to be lost in Ukraine appear to have mostly operated according to doctrine, an expert tells us.
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/armor-expert-breaks-down-ukraines-loss-of-bradleys-during-breaching-operation
Excerpts:
The Ukrainian officer tasked with sending Bradley Fighting Vehicles on the breaching mission south of Mala Tokmachka in Zaporizhzhia Oblast last week faced a horrible decision. Does he leave his marooned troops to fend for themselves or risk more lives and equipment to try to rescue them?
What we know from a limited amount of widely disseminated imagery is that a platoon of four U.S.-donated Bradleys had apparently already been damaged or destroyed, along with a Leopard-2 tank and two demining vehicles, in a well-prepared Russian minefield.
It was the first confirmed damage to Bradleys during this conflict. And it happened during one of the most dangerous and complex maneuvers possible - a breaching operation. Making matters worse, it was conducted without air support and questionable suppressive artillery fire.
Since our initial story came out, and additional imagery emerged of the incident, the armor expert told us that from what he observed, it looks like a third platoon of Bradleys attempted to come to the rescue. The first, he thought made it through the area before the second got bogged down and attacked.
But as the company commander would have been taught during intensive training at the Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany, sending another platoon of four Bradleys into that killzone would have violated basic doctrine for such operations, the expert told The War Zone.
“If it puts at risk your soldiers and your equipment - the resources available for future action - then you would not assume the risks and we already saw that the risks were high,” said the official, speaking anonymously to discuss operational details. “We saw that they could not accomplish their mission. And to put more people out there at a high-level risk would not be worth the costs.”
But that doesn’t take into account the human factor in the heat of battle, the official said.
“The other aspect too is you never want to leave someone behind,” said the official. “This is one of those universal battlefield dynamics that has never changed from the start of warfare when we started killing each other.”
Asked what he would do if he were in charge of the operation, the official said his first instinct would be to make a similar decision.
“Initially, when I hear the screaming going on and the request for help, to provide assistance and recover potential casualties and equipment, my first reaction would be to send them in,” said the official. “But after a minute or two and thinking logically about it, I would have concluded that the risks were too high.”
But contrary to some commentary, the expert said that it appears under the circumstances the Ukrainians performed as well as could be expected and as close to established doctrine as possible.

Hard to say anything positive about this.
After initially losing 4 M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA IFVs, 1 Leopard 2A6 and a BMR-2 armored demining vehicle in one location, 4 more M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA IFVs drove to the exact same position and started taking loses.

You’ve probably seen photos of blown-up Bradleys, one of them is mine, alas. Below is a short video of how the crew evacuated. I am really asking for your help, because almost all of the boys’ belongings remained in the car
https://twitter.com/PanDrukar/status/1668189563901149185
“These guys are now withdrawn from the breach site to suppressive fire and you’re seeing the crews act, reacting correctly,” the expert said. The dismounted troops tossing the smoke grenade and the operable Bradley crew using its advanced optics to scan for threats “shows these guys were well-trained,” the expert said.
Aside from there being limited visual information about this particular incident and no official comment, this is not an omen for the outcome of Ukraine’s counteroffensive, the official told us.
During preparation for such situations at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, U.S. troops using U.S. equipment typically fail in their first crack at these high-risk operations, the official said.
“You get jacked up all the time,” said the official, adding that about “90% of breaches that we do for the first time [in training] are failures.”
Given that and the limited amount of information available about this incident - either in terms of visual confirmation or official comment - the expert says no real conclusions can be drawn about what this incident portends for the future of Ukraine’s counteroffensive.
“Give these guys a chance,” he said. “Their cherry got popped. They are actually fighting real Russians instead of fake Russians that we trained against.”
According to its latest tabulation, the Oryx open source intelligence group says that Ukraine so far has lost 16 Bradley M2A2 ODS-SAs - five destroyed, and 11 damaged and abandoned. The group only counts those vehicles for which is has visual confirmation, so the real numbers could be higher.
But it appears the Pentagon doesn’t see this incident or other Bradley losses as a reason to tighten supplies.

——>Ukraine Accuses Russia Of Blowing Up Another Dam <——
A dam along the Mokri Yaly River in eastern Ukraine is the latest such barrier to have been breached by Russian forces, Kyiv claims.

[ First Class Execution | Clever. Ukrainians Take 2 Towns Without Firing a Single Shot! ]
••Day 474: Jun 12
Today, the biggest news comes from the southern front.
Ukrainians continued releasing footage of the total liberation of new settlements. Today, Ukrainian 35th Marine Brigade posted a video of clearing the houses and raising the Ukrainian flag above Storozheve. This is the village that Russians previously tried to preserve control of and even launched mechanized counterattacks.
The Marines also showed one of such counterattacks, and judging by the footage, Russians used several squads of infantry reinforced with 1 tank and 3 armored fighting vehicles. Since Ukrainians were in control of the tactical heights, the counterattack was quickly rebuffed, and the whole assault unit was eliminated.
The moment the driver of the last BMP realized that they were done, he launched in the opposite direction so fast that one Russian soldier fell off the vehicle. It turned out that he was lucky because Ukrainians took him captive while the vehicle that he fell off of exploded on a mine.
Today, Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister also confirmed yesterday’s claims and speculations and verified that Ukrainians successfully pushed Russians from Levadne and gained an important foothold on the next ridge of tactical heights.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that from Levadne, Ukrainians can conveniently continue slicing off Russian defenses.
If you still remember, yesterday I told you that the fall of Levadne means that the Russian defense in Novodarivka and Rivnopil will automatically collapse due to the threat of encirclement. And this is exactly what happened today.
After seeing that the escape window was closing at an unprecedented rate, Russian forces wasted no time and retreated from Novodarivka.
Ukrainian forces have already entered Russian fortifications in and around the settlement, and as Russian Intelligence reported, Ukrainians are de-mining the field between this settlement and Novopil and overall preparing the roads for easy and stable supplies for further development of the counteroffensive operation.
Some Russian sources reported that Russian forces launched a powerful counterattack in the direction of Makarivka and are about to return everything that they lost.
However, it looks like this is just a supporting attack that tries to protect the flanks of the retreating forces from Rivnopil because some Russian sources already started mentioning that the village is in the grey zone.
Yesterday, I told you that the fact that Russians blew up the dam highly likely means that they abandoned Urozhaine because otherwise, they would doom their own forces by cutting them off with the flooding.
Today some sources started to confirm that Ukrainians established full control over this settlement, and started developing their attack further.
In order to complicate Ukrainian advances even more, today, Russian forces blew up the second dam on this river, which means that Ukrainians will not be able to assault Russian settlements from the east.
This saves the Russian defense from the immediate and uncontrollable collapse because right now, Russian forces at least manage to organize a coherent retreat.
When it comes to the eastern part of the region, the fights around Novodonetske continue. Today, Ukrainian 4th Tank Brigade released a video of how they are destroying Russian fortification in the tree lines west of the settlement and widening the bridgehead.
It is expected that very soon, Ukrainians will also launch an attack on Kermenchyk, as they are already on the approach to this settlement.
In the meantime, Ukrainian Air Force continues conducting precision strikes on Russian military bases and command posts.
One of the biggest strikes happened in Henychesk, which was previously considered one of the safest parts of the Kherson region, which is why it gradually became the occupational administrative center.
Ukrainian sources reported that they stuck one of the biggest Russian headquarters in the south. Ukrainians also continue conducting HIMARS strikes on Melitopol, Tokmak, and Molochne.
Russian sources confirmed that in the aftermath of one of these strikes, Ukrainians have destroyed the headquarter of the highest level of command and eliminated the commander of the 35th Russian Army, Major General Goryachev.
It was reported that this time almost all Russian generals were deployed to the Zaporizhzhia direction to be in touch with what is happening on the front and prevent another catastrophe, even the Chief of the Russian General Staff, Gerasimov, is reportedly somewhere in Zaporizhhzia, so Ukrainians Intelligence and Air Force are currently on a big hunt.
••Southern front line is 171 km long, with the Velyka Novosilka direction being the most successful line of attack.
The numerous attacks along that line says the UA is searching for the weak spots.
The Russians First Line of defense or the Zero Line runs across the FEBA, which means that is breached in one or more places, and that the UA is approaching the second line in the Velyka Novosilka direction. The Second and Third lines should be more robust.
However, Russian reinforcements are coming from the Second and Third lines, weakening them.
UA supplies lines are in good shape, while Russian supply lines are in disarray. Because of all the interdiction by the UA, Russian is unable to send reinforcement and supplies from other areas, meaning they have to use what they have in the area and will face exhaustion.
At the point of exhaustion, the main UA blow will fall.

“The Bastion is the primary launch platform of the Onyx missile during the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. Sevastopol in particular has seen a number of recorded Onyx launches, distinguished by the missile’s distinctive “one-turn” launch sequence. These are primarily used to strike cities in the south of Ukraine.”

“China will see the biggest net outflow of millionaires globally this year as the nation’s wealth growth slows, Henley & Partners said in a report Tuesday.
The advisory firm estimates China will lose 13,500 high-net-worth individuals with investable wealth of more than $1 million, followed by India with an exodus of 6,500, and the UK at 3,200, according to the Henley Private Wealth Migration Report.”
And RuZZia is 4th highest. Millionaires want out of China and RuZZia.
Or are these millionaires "Fifth Columnists" in the countries they are fleeing to?
