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.

Tattle tale or rules your post added nothing
Well if you get banned maybe humblegunner is available. Although you’ll need to polish it up a bit.
While I appreciate the research you did to tabulate this thread, this post is a pro Ukrainian war effort site started by speedy.
Posting individual examples of things like Russian equipment is not propaganda rather documented facts, the element of propaganda missing from your definition is an element of the information being false and presented as truth
Saying the Ukrainians have lost 4000 tanks and 400 aircraft IS propaganda
I wonder do you post the same thing on threads which feature Ritter or Macgregor? Just curious
General SVR
... Yesterday, a man who looks like Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Alexander Lukashenko.
It is worth noting that Lukashenko is the only person not from Putin’s inner circle who is privy to the history of Putin’s double. Lukashenko, rendering services to the president of Russia, plays along in “sketch” with a double.
So, yesterday, Lukashenko, of course, knowing that he was talking to a double under cameras, frankly trolled him, in places he simply scoffed and, as they say, played the fool, but without obvious excesses and with ostentatious respect.
Lukashenko met and talked with the real Putin, but in solitude and without cameras. Putin is grateful to Lukashenko for his help and pays him billions in gifts.
Please detail for me ANY thread in which the lion's share of comments are from the same individual as the poster. My comment is specifically about the behavior, and your complaint obfuscates.
--- "...this post is a pro Ukrainian war effort site started by speedy."
You state the obvious. That the "site" is pro-Ukrainian is without question. That it begins with reference to a Dutch amateur site as source for the data suggests also a pro-Ukrainian stance, of course. It is, obviously, not your private club which only allows approving votes, for that would be just like the Democrats.
I do not validate "threads which feature Ritter or Macgregor" nor their videos. Because I suspect NO ONE can tell the eventual outcome of this mess. Not even you.
As to the mess, as I have elsewhere said, there are 1) pro-Z individuals, 2) pro-P individuals, and 3) "not my circus and not my clowns" views as well, many of whom are very concerned about the sheer amount of money and materiel from the US for a non-declared war, which the Biden administration even refuses to openly state is a "proxy war," all the while conducting one. Within the context of a non-NATO Ukraine at war with a non-NATO Russia.
You clearly have your circus, with a large "Pro-Z" banner above it. I haven't any circus or clown for which to cheer. But when a "pro Ukrainian war effort" behaves as this one does, taking notice of the behavior is something more than just a few notice.
So you think. The daily posting of the same crappy website by Speedy run by two Eurotrash add absolutely nothing to FR. It is just a daily regurgitation of the same lie day after day. Speedy also has the despicable habit of replying to idiots not even on the thread yet just to push opposing viewpoints off of the first few pages. It is disgusting and disingenuous. The website is just one big lie on behalf of the same scum that locked us down and stole our God-given rights. Even the New York Times cannot keep up the lies that Speedy is pushing and admit that the long awaited, over-hyped Ukrainian Spring Offensive is a disaster. The dam has burst and the truth is coming out.
Threads with multiple posts that link to information about a current issue are a long time tradition on Free Republic.
Many of the links provided by the OP go directly to videos or other information about what is happening in Ukraine or Russia.
How is more information a bad thing?
If there is bad weather and flooding somewhere in the USA should we only have threads with one source of information, or should we have everyone post what they find with links to the information?
I think information is a good thing. Everyone can choose to ignore a thread if they don't want to read about the topic.
Multiple posts = 40+? Really?
Since it is your assertion, please provide an instance of another thread and OP in which there have been forty and more comments by the OP. I will eagerly await your response. Thanks in advance.
How is a website run by a group of people that has photographs and data for every destroyed, abandoned, or captured vehicle they list "pro-Ukrainian"? They list losses of both Russian and Ukrainian vehicles, equipment, and aircraft.
The source is probably the most accurate publicly available data on vehicle losses that has ever existed for a war.
Why should I waste my time doing that?
Why are you reading through a thread if your only purpose is to criticize it? That seems like a textbook example of trolling.
Do you realize how strange it is to cite the New York Times as some kind of a source when they and most other media outlets rely on the actual data collected by the Oryx team?
Actual documented losses of military vehicles and equipment provide useful information about the war. If you don't like what that data says that is too bad. It is open source data. If you think they are wrong go ahead and research whatever entry on the list you think is wrong.
It was YOUR assertion. So you can waste or not waste your time, as you see fit.

If that is your stance, then I suggest you discuss this with the moderators. I'd term it "commentary." They decide. You don't. I don't.
Because I hate lies and the lying liars that lie to me. Go back to your safe space.
Euro trash… rules
Disaster, nah but believe what you want
I will leave the insults and intellectual surety to you
Your defense of the ridiculous is.... sad.
And as my friend says opinions are like butts. We all have one and they all stink
Again your certainty is assuring
"Ukraine has already lost the war. This is not going to won. Ukraine is disintegrating. It's armed forces are falling apart. They aren't bad people. They aren't bad soldiers. They have done all that is humanly possible. But, hundreds of thousands of dead in causalities is simply too much. All the hospitals are full. How many people they have left that they can throw at the advancing Russians is anyone's guess. But, I don't think it's too much.
The question is, what do we do now? How many more have to die before we finally say enough is enough." -- Col. Douglas Macgregor, Redacted, 7/24/23
Kazan is the name of a city in RuZZia.
Is that where you live?
“How many more (Russians) have to die before we (Russia) finally say enough is enough?”
I’m guessing between 50,000 and 500,000.
Whatever it takes.
