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.

Is the counteroffensive still the smashing Uke victory your figures portray? The dueling disinfo from both sides accept the fact that the counteroffensive is not meeting expectations. Are you just making up your own figures since your Western disinfo no longer meets your personal narrative? Here is a bit more believable disinfo.
Russian forces have destroyed over 11,000 tanks and other armored vehicles of the Ukrainian army since the start of the special military operation in Ukraine, Konashenkov reported.
“In all, 11,010 tanks and other armored combat vehicles have been destroyed since the start of the special military operation,” the spokesman said.
The Defense Ministry spokesman reported on July 27 that 10,966 Ukrainian tanks and other armored combat vehicles had been eliminated since the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine.
Russian forces have also destroyed 457 Ukrainian warplanes, 244 combat helicopters, 5,308 unmanned aerial vehicles, 427 surface-to-air missile systems, 1,140 multiple rocket launchers, 5,646 field artillery guns and mortars and 11,939 special military motor vehicles since the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine, Konashenkov reported.
Peak China
“How China’s Marriage Slump and Unstable Housing Market Are Taking a Toll on the Economy”
“Ally Liu, 27, graduated from Beijing’s prestigious Peking University with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in finance, and now works at an investment firm. She said she’s exhausted from long hours at work.
“It’s embarrassing, but I’ll just say it,” she said in an interview from China’s capital. “I want to find a guy.” After a long pause, she added, “But it’s hard.”
China’s marriage rate steadily increased until hitting a peak in 2013, when 13.5 million marriages were recorded. By the end of that year, a precipitous decline began—one that continues. Last year the marriage rate hit half its 2013 level, at 6.8 million, according to China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The factors complicating Liu’s romantic pursuits are manifold. Either she is drained of energy and pressed for time, or the potential suitor is. Her close relationship with her parents compels her to abide by one of their marriage demands: a spouse must own a home and ideally a car or other investments, or come from a rich family.”
Quoting the RuZZian Ministry of Defense.
How touching.
The kick is, its disinfo is proven to a have much lower BS content than yours. You didn’t answer the question. Is the Uke counteroffensive still the smashing victory your disinfo portrays? Touching heck, laughable, yes.
Yep some people cannot comprehend, if the Russians are allowed to subjugate even a portion of Ukraine, they will be back later after rebuilding and attack Ukraine again or Latvia or Lithuania. Or all three. After all 1936 Europe just needed to allow Germany to have the colonies they demanded, as the Russians should have the ones they demand.
“Peace in our time.” That will save lots of money and get certain politicians in the history books, side by side with a certain British PM.
In that eventuality, they will have to send their treasure & children via NATO to defend Europe. They will find the Nuclear War they seek to avoid by appeasement, which didn’t work in 1936, but will surely work next time, right?
Hitting a loaded & moving rocket launcher is spectacular.

[ Point of no Return. Russian Forces Got Trapped ]
••Day 520: Jul 28
Today there are a lot of updates from the Velyka Novosilka direction.
First of all, more information became available about the storming operation that took place in Staromaiorske, as Ukrainian marines from the 35th Marine Brigade finally released more combat footage.
After Russian troops were forced out of the outer edge of the village with intense artillery fire, Ukrainians immediately got a toehold and started clearing the houses.
After establishing positions, Ukrainians started applying pressure on the Russians in the southern part of the village.
The main goal was to wait until the second group conducted a flank attack from the hills and left Russians with only two options: retreat or get cut off from the rest.
In the meantime, a tough tank battle took place on the hills.
As reported last time, Ukrainians destroyed a lot of Russian tanks and armored fighting vehicles prior to this attack, but as Ukrainians got deep into the region, they faced more armored vehicles.
Today, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians had already launched the next phase of the operation, namely, storming Urozhaine.
Right now, Urozhaine is in a salient, and Russians have significant issues with providing supplies to the soldiers on the ground.
Moreover, if we look at the topographic map, we can see that, like all other settlements along the river, Urozhaine is located in the lowlands, while Ukrainians are holding positions on the hills around this settlement.
Russian sources reported that Ukrainians attacked with several assault units reinforced with 2 armored fighting vehicles.
Russian analysts concluded that the attacks will definitely intensify, and Urozhaine may fall within the next 48 hours.
The fall of Urozhaine will allow Ukrainians to push the front line a little south and get close to Kremenchuk.
Even though some analysts predicted that the next Ukrainian targets are Kremenchuk and Novodonetske, it is highly unlikely that Ukrainians will devote a significant amount of forces to this offensive effort.
First of all, Novodonetske is protected by the river from one side and by the gully from another side, which makes it very difficult to attack.
Kremenchuk is located on the hill, making it difficult to attack in front, and even if Ukrainians try to move around it, they will put themselves at the crossfire.
It is more likely that Ukrainians will focus on establishing control over the eastern bank, and establishing fire control over the settlements on the western bank, aggravating Russian problems with supplies and logistics, and setting conditions for an attack on Zavitne Bazhannia and Staromlynivka.
As you may have noticed, Staromlynivka is surrounded by 2 rivers.
And even though one of the rivers is actually a gully with several swamps, such a setting still presents limitations when planning an assault.
Nonetheless, storming the settlement itself may not be necessary if Ukrainians take all the heights around it.
This way, Russian forces will appear in operational encirclement and, with no prospects of changes, will abandon the town as quickly as possible.
Ukrainians understand this, and this is exactly what they are trying to realize right now.
Today, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians resumed their attacks in the direction of Pryiutne, but what is more important is that they launched their attacks between Rivnopil and Staromaiorske.
By developing their bridgehead further, Russians in Pryiutne will appear in operational encirclement and will have to step back.
If previously they still counted on holding this settlement, then after the fall of Staromairske, it is just a matter of time until their defense is undermined to the point where it automatically collapses further down the line.
In the meantime, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky visited the southern line and held a meeting with Ukrainians generals.
Zelensky congratulated Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny on his recent birthday and gifted him a personalized firearm, and also congratulated Commander of the Ground Forces Oleksandr Syrsky, who also had a birthday several days ago, and gifted him a painting.
Shortly after the headquarter meeting, the generals returned to the front to continue overseeing the counteroffensive operation.

Offensive on Bakhmut. Taking positions of the occupiers. During the clearing of the trenches, the enemy fired at the assault groups.
Despite this, the fighters continued to storm the dugouts, repulsed the enemy and were able to gain a foothold in the captured trenches. Great job of the 2nd assault battalion of the Third Assault Brigade.

African leaders have issued an ultimatum to Vladimir Putin. It has two points
An ultimatum to Vladimir Vladimirovich was put forward by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, our source in the Kremlin said.
Some of the demands that were not personally from him, but “on behalf of the leaders of a significant part of Africa,” Ramaphosa expressed publicly.
He said that he did not come to Russia for gifts and offered to resume the grain deal. Some of it was spoken behind closed doors.
The ultimatum (and this, in fact, he) has two points.
First, the African leader demanded to resume the grain deal “as soon as possible and without any conditions” and to stop “games around the theme of world hunger.”
The second demand is to stop the NMD in Ukraine and “withdraw Russian troops from at least part of the territories that Kiev considers its own.”
“The cessation of hostilities is overdue, we think, and you understand this,” Ramaphosa said to Putin.
Putin replied that he was ready to stop the SVO in exchange for security guarantees for himself personally and the cancellation of the warrant for his arrest issued by the court in The Hague (we wrote about this proposal ).
The President of South Africa said that “the hostilities must be stopped immediately and without any additional conditions”, and only then it will be possible to negotiate, put forward conditions and transfer them to the West.
Vladimir Vladimirovich promised that he would think over the proposal of the African leader.
According to a Kremlin source, Putin is angry that Africans are blackmailing him.
On the other hand, the South African president now occupies a stronger position than the Russian president.
“Vladimir Vladimirovich was not allowed into Africa, but we are letting Ramaphosa in. Unfortunately, this is how the situation has developed,” our interlocutor said.
Whether Putin will fulfill the African ultimatum, he refused to answer.

“Elon Musk’s Unmatched Power in the Stars”
“The tech billionaire has become the dominant power in satellite internet technology. The ways he is wielding that influence are raising global alarms.”
“The technology — found in forests, fields, villages and mounted on the roofs of military vehicles — has given Ukraine’s army a major advantage over Russian forces. It has enabled artillery teams, commanders and pilots to watch drone footage simultaneously while chatting online. The response times from finding a target to hitting it have been cut to about a minute from nearly 20 minutes, soldiers said.”
“The huge number of lives that Starlink has helped save can be measured in the thousands,” Mr. Fedorov said. “This is one of the fundamental components of our success.”
Kremlin snuffbox
Shooting is going on in Moscow: what will happen next?
A few days ago , we warned that more drone strikes could be inflicted on Moscow in the coming weeks. Our forecast is confirmed - the day before, drones that flew to the capital were shot down. We learned what is happening and what to expect next.
Firstly, on Friday, July 28, three drones that flew to Moscow were destroyed, and not just one, as said Sergei Sobyanin.
Two were shot down, one was planted with the help of electronic warfare, our source in the General Staff said.
One of the drones was definitely launched from the territory of Russia, data on the other two are being specified.
Secondly, the military gave the Moscow authorities a new forecast about strikes on the city.
According to updated information, the dangerous period is August and early September.
“We were told that the enemies had not yet prepared such attacks against us. We are preparing for them too. No details, sorry. The only thing I can say is: Muscovites, take care of yourself. I am sure that all responsible residents of the city have already found a bomb shelter closest to their home,” a source close to Sobyanin told us.
Thirdly, the last drone attack was a “shooting” on Moscow.
The enemy found out where our air defense systems were located, where there were “holes” (they are in any air defense system) in order to deliver a larger strike.
“We are strengthening air defense, the enemy is looking for vulnerabilities. Typical everyday life of the war,” our interlocutor at the General Staff explained.
What should we say in this situation?
Everyone sees that our insiders come true.
Therefore, we ask everyone who is now in Moscow to be careful and respond to any warnings.
Both on the information of the authorities and on our publications, we will try to continue to warn about threats to the capital.
https://t.me/s/kremlin_secrets
“Mr. Musk had other red lines that he would not cross. He refused Ukraine’s request last year to provide Starlink access near Crimea, the Russian-controlled peninsula, so it could send an explosive-filled maritime drone into Russian ships docked in the Black Sea, two people familiar with the discussions said. Mr. Musk later said that Starlink could not be used for long-range drone strikes.”
Kremlin snuffbox
Shoigu starts a real war with his enemies.
Under the threat of Prigozhin and a number of generals, an attempt was made on one of them
After we began to speak honestly about the threats to Russian generals who do not agree with the “general line” of the Ministry of Defense, Telegram channels that receive money from Sergei Shoigu and his people became seriously active.
We have already written about this activation and about the connections of our “critics” with the ministry, but Sergei Kuzhugetovich’s supporters cannot calm down.
In order to wash the name of their boss, they even came up with ... a fake comment by General Mikhail Teplinsky. By the way, you can read it here .
But let’s not pay much attention to propagandists. We learned a lot of important and disturbing things about the conflict that threatens the army.
Let’s talk about the most important.
Based on the results of his visit to the DPRK, which he considers successful, Shoigu reasonably hopes that he will remain in the post of Minister of Defense ( we wrote about this ).
Vladimir Putin does not mind and does not plan to dismiss the minister now.
Against a number of combat generals, which we have repeatedly written about.
Because Shoigu decided to move on to drastic actions.
In the next few weeks, the opponents of Sergei Kuzhugetovich, according to one of his supporters, “won’t do well.”
In the list of people against whom Shoigu is going to repress, in particular, his deputy Yunus-Bek Yevkurov (according to the minister, he spoke too politely to Prigozhin during the “Wagnerites” rebellion), generals Mikhail Teplinskiy, Ivan Popov, Sergey Surovikin (what is happening with Sergei Vladimirovich now is not enough for the Minister of Defense, he wants almost the physical death of Surovikin), as well as Evgeny Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin on this list.
There is also Igor Strelkov, whose arrest became a “touchstone” in the coming repressions.
Criminal cases are being prepared against all the named people, which threaten them with serious terms. At the same time, Shoigu called Teplinsky, Popov, Prigozhin and Utkin in one of his personal conversations “insane” and believes that it is “easier to bang them or put them under Ukrainian artillery” than to try to put them in jail.
No one will swing at Prigozhin now, this death would be too loud, but we would advise the same Utkin to be more careful. And no matter where he is now.
Moreover, already when we wrote this post, we had to supplement it with important information.
One of Ivan Popov’s associates contacted us and stated that an assassination attempt had been made on the general. “Ivan Ivanovich felt bad three days ago.
He was hospitalized, arsenic was found in his body.
The dose was not calculated, thank God, they could not kill him.
Ivan Ivanovich’s enemies will not wait for his death. And they will pay for everything,” our interlocutor said.
He did not directly accuse Shoigu of attempting to assassinate Popov, but he believes that “it could not have done without the minister” in this situation.
We understand that this information requires additional confirmation. We are checking it and will definitely devote a separate post to this topic.
Mikhail Teplinskiy, in turn, gave us advice not to pay attention to the haters and was indignant that the channel mentioned at the beginning of this post came up with his fake comment.
“We will deal with them later,” Mikhail Yurievich promised.
What do we see as a result?
Sergei Shoigu felt almost complete impunity and is going to commit actions that could split not only the army, but the whole of Russia.
There is no point in turning to Sergei Kuzhugetovich, he is now really dizzy from success, sources in the Ministry of Defense say. But the president can stop him.
Vladimir Vladimirovich, we do not need confrontations. Russia may not be able to withstand such conflicts now. Stop it!
Please consider this post as our official appeal to the President.
