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.

Pro Tip: You can run faster, it you leave your weapons behind.
His MoD spokesman gives a daily "clobber report" where he presents ridiculous numbers to the public every day. This is where the claims of Ukrainian losses that significantly outnumber what their military actually has come from. This is where Putin gets crazy data like "Ukraine has lost 260 tanks and 780 IFVs since the beginning of the counter offensive". His MoD said it on TV, so what can he say? He has to convince people that Ukraine's losses are 10X worse than Russia's. I'm not sure how much he believes, but I do not think he is getting accurate info from his generals.
Truth is something not promoted in Russia gets you a free trip out a window
