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.

[ Supplies Cut | Breached! Ukrainians Advance by 5km on Multiple Axes | Defense Collapsed ]
••Day 523: Jul 31
Today there is a lot of news from the south.
First of all, more information became available about the recent strike on the Chonhar bridge that connects Crimea to the Kherson region.
Russian sources circulated footage of the intact Chonhar bridge to back up the claims of the Russian Ministry of Defense that all missiles were shot down.
Unfortunately for Russians, today Planet Labs released satellite footage that clearly shows that Ukrainians successfully destroyed a section of the railroad bridge.
It turned out that the circulated footage showed the intact section of the bridge, while the huge hole was located right to the left.
Even though the Russian military and media tried to restrict access to the area, today, someone finally took a picture of one of the holes in the bridge.
The collapsed section hasn’t still been shown, which indicates that Russians likely tried to show the section with the smallest damage to minimize the backlash.
As mentioned last time, such developments undermine Russian logistics significantly.
It is true that Russians can supply the Zaporizhzhia Group from the east, however, Russian forces simply cannot rely solely on this supply line.
Firstly, most ammunition depots and warehouses with equipment are within HIMARS range, and after Ukrainian got Storm Shadow missiles, even Mariupol and Berdyansk became unsafe.
Secondly, given the risk of strikes, the supply leverage is extreme, as Russians need to travel half a thousand km to supply the Kherson Group.
That is why, thirdly, over the last 8 months, Russians have moved all of their warehouses, ammunition depots, and reparation centers to Crimea, assuming that this is a safe haven.
And that is why by destroying Russian bases and logistics in Crimes, Ukrainians are creating substantial problems for the Russian Zaporizhzhia Group.
In fact, over the last week, Ukrainians exploited Russian problems with logistics and penetrated Russian defense by 5 km.
Last time we discussed this region, I told you that Ukrainians evened out the front line and were preparing to launch an attack on Robotnye.
Soon, Ukrainians started attacking Russian positions in the tree lines west of the settlement, and Russian analysts concluded that the main goal of Ukrainians was to split Russian forces into two groups and enter Robotnye itself.
However, it turned out that Ukrainians were just improving their tactical position, and the main attack happened east of Robotnye.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that Ukrainians chose to advance in the lowlands.
There are three reasons for the choice of this attack vector.
First of all, Russian forces expected Ukrainians to continue moving along the ridge, which is why this direction was heavily reinforced.
Secondly, Russian forces did not fortify this area as much, so their defense here was quite weak.
And thirdly, Ukrainians could assume a very convenient position in the forest that would allow hiding troops and equipment right in front of Robotnye, and also control the eastern side of Robotnye from the part of the forest that is located on the hill.
In order to make this work, Ukrainians once again played along with the Russian expectations and launched a series of assaults from the north and west, but only with the aim to fix Russian forces.
Once they successfully drew the attention away from the main direction, they penetrated Russian defenses from the east.
Due to the rigidity of the Russian army, Ukrainians successfully used this tactic multiple times.
Very soon, Russians released geolocated footage, confirming that Ukrainians established control over the Russian trenches east of Robotnye.
Next, Ukrainian forces started attacking Robotnye from the east while simultaneously getting deeper, and widening the bridgehead.
Geolocated footage confirmed that Ukrainians gained a lot of ground in front of Verbove as well.
The footage shows how Ukrainians were already testing the Russian anti-tank ditch by sending an empty armored fighting vehicle into it.
The driver was seen jumping out of it in advance.
The latest updates suggest that Ukrainians are already operating in the vicinity of Novoprokopivka.
In total, Ukrainians managed to advance by 5 km in all directions and develop a significant bridgehead between Robotnye and Verbove.
For now, the intensity of clashes has temporarily decreased due to the rain, however, if Ukrainians make one more such push and enter Novoprokopivka and Verbove, Russian flanks will start to collapse.

Russian Ministry of Defense: Ukrainian UAVs tried to attack objects in Moscow, two were destroyed over the territory of the Odintsovo and Narofominsk districts of the Moscow region.
Another was suppressed by means of electronic warfare and, having lost control, crashed on the territory of the Moscow City non-residential building complex.
Again. They should let those to go though.

Sources in the army and government told us about the consequences of a new attack by enemy drones on the capital, as a result of which the building of Moscow City was damaged.
Let’s talk about the most important.
Firstly, the documents of the Ministry of Economic Development were destroyed by the blow, including those relating to military projects important for the NMD.
What kind of projects these are, the sources declined to answer. At the same time, they noted that the enemy strike was clearly targeted.
“What has been working on for several months is under threat,” said one of our interlocutors.
Secondly, the strengthening of the Moscow air defense system, which we wrote about, will be accelerated.
Air defense and electronic warfare systems from several regions of the country will be deployed to the capital and the Moscow region in the coming days.
“We are doing everything to make life easier for Muscovites, and to stop drones from hitting buildings in the capital,” a military source said.
Thirdly, unfortunately, the enemy continues to confirm our insider and conducts sighting in Moscow.
In the coming days and weeks, there may be more strikes on the city, the military predicts.
And once again they are reminded of how important it is to find a bomb shelter closest to the house.
And go there in case of any danger.
“We do not always see drones, therefore we often cannot warn people about the danger.
Work is underway in this direction, I think that after some time we will be able to fully see the enemy’s objects and announce an air alert in Moscow in time,” one of the sources promised.

Kremlin snuffbox
A new rebellion in Russia is possible before the end of the year, the likelihood of Vladimir Putin leaving is “extremely high”
Such conclusions of the CIA last week began to spread among employees of various American intelligence agencies. Our SVR got access to the document with this forecast.
“A new rebellion is likely this year.
The probability that Vladimir Putin will not be president until the end of 2023 is extremely high - at least 70%.
The most likely scenario is that he will flee or be simply suspended.
Also, President Putin can be killed, but the probability of such a scenario is not higher than 20-30%, ”a source in intelligence quoted the Americans’ forecast to us.
According to representatives of the US intelligence services, a new rebellion can be organized by Wagner or a similar “extremist organization”, the military, who are returning from the front and do not receive sufficient social guarantees (under the leadership of generals dissatisfied with Vladimir Vladimirovich), or “Russian radicals”.
The latter, according to the CIA, are very pessimistic about the situation at the front and are ready for drastic actions in the event of real territorial losses.
The mutiny, they say in the Western intelligence services, can be staged by disgraced generals who are now suffering repression and persecution (Sergey Surovikin, Ivan Popov, Mikhail Teplinskiy and others).
But these military men will definitely not oppose Vladimir Putin, since they cannot go against the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. But they may well create problems for Sergei Shoigu and Valery Gerasimov.
Among the possible organizers and ideologists of the rebellion against Putin, Western intelligence services name (the first two names, most likely out of habit) Evgeny Prigozhin, Dmitry Utkin, Alexander Dugin, Zakhar Prilepin, Sergei Lavrov, Valery Gerasimov (probably, this assessment was affected by the factor of his constant negotiations with the Americans, as in the case of Lavrov ), Ramzan Kadyrov (the Americans seem to suspect him of separatism) and (as the document says) “a number of so-called military correspondents who are popular among Russians.”
We asked sources in the Kremlin if they were familiar with this document.
Most of the interlocutors refused to answer this question, two said that they had never heard of anything like that.

This points to Ukraine’s role in striking. Public mentions of long-range drones appeared a few months ago.
Then the GUR of Ukraine turned to blogger Igor Lachenkov with a request to help finance the production of a drone.
He collected 20 million hryvnia, which went to the Ukrainian kamikaze drone.
After the attack on the Kremlin, he thanked his subscribers. This drone was named “Beaver”.
This drone, along with Ukrjet’s UJ-22 Airborne UAV and an unnamed third model, were used in the attacks.
From May to July of this year, the number of kamikaze drone attacks was twice the total number of attacks in all of 2022. “Beaver” can be said to fly backwards, its propeller is at the back.
This reduces wind resistance. The UJ-22 can stay in the air for up to six hours and fly up to 800 km.

“Listen, the Suwalki corridor is not in Belarus. We do not move along this corridor, nor to the corridor. We have not needed it for a thousand years. The main thing is to be calm,” Lukashenko said.
According to him, the transfer of “Wagnerites” to the border to Poland is not connected with plans to invade a neighboring country. “They trained our military who are in that area,” Lukashenko said. » go on an “excursion” to Rzeszow and Warsaw.
According to experts, Lukashenko is not yet ready to chaoticize the situation on the western border, as he still does not have an understanding of the development of the situation.
Minsk sources say that Belarus and Russia allegedly have not yet reached an agreement on the budget for the stay of PMCs on Belarusian territory.

For this purpose, the half-corpse of the president was brought to Moscow and prepared by doctors and make-up artists for the meeting. Putin needs make-up artists almost more than a doppelgänger.
The president needs to hide the painful pallor, pigment and vascular spots on the face, neck and hands.
Despite the fact that on the eve of the meeting, Putin felt, as he put it, “tolerant”, the medical team was at the ready and was waiting in the next room.
But this time, the president did not need help, he was able not only to ask Volodin about state issues and the results of the work of the State Duma, but also joked and even frankly scoffed, asking Vyacheslav Viktorovich about the details of his personal life.
Even at the beginning of the meeting, the president asked the chairman of the State Duma if he knew why he was sitting at a decent distance from the head of state. Volodin replied that these are the norms now, to which Putin replied: “What the hell ... norms?”
Further, already in the midst of the meeting, Putin, interrupting Volodin’s fascinating report in mid-sentence, asked the question: “Who are you kidding now, Slava? Or who are you? How is it customary there?”
These questions baffled the Chairman of the State Duma, and he looked down and only asked in response what the president had in mind.
Putin flashed knowledge with intimate details about Volodin’s last lovers, and at the end of the speech he mockingly warned the speaker that he could finish the game and if his love affairs become known to the public, for example, some records “pop up” somewhere, then he can “rattle” for promoting unconventional ties.
After talking with Volodin, the president said that the conversation turned out to be “cute” and that he was quite pleased with the meeting.
After talking with Volodin, the president held a video conference with representatives of the leadership of the military bloc and listened to the reports.
Among other things, Putin was told that Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, would undergo a simple operation this week - a transurethral resection of the prostate.
To this, the president said that it was more important for Medvedev to order a new liver, the old one, they say, drank it completely and straightened his brains.
Then he asked: “do not die?” And having received assurances that everything would be all right, the president said: “All right. We still need this mxxxxxfxxxxx.”
In the evening, Putin complained about the deterioration of health and wished to go to Valdai.

That damned ship should have been sunk. With some luck I hope the Ukrainians will dock it right next to the Moskva.

“Ukraine’s Other Counteroffensive: Drone Attacks on Russian Soil”
“At least three different Ukrainian-made drones have been used in attacks inside Russia, including Moscow, according to an analysis by The New York Times, indicating a Ukrainian role in strikes that the government in Kyiv has long shrouded in mystery.
Ukrainian officials have declined to claim or deny responsibility for drone strikes on Russian territory. But the three drone models, which appear capable of flying hundreds of miles from Ukraine to Moscow, were used in strikes in Russia.
The Times analysis, based on flight footage, images of prototypes and wreckage on the ground, as well as interviews with experts and officials, also found that Ukraine is racing to scale up its homegrown drone fleet, and to attack more frequently in Russia.”

One of the Russian tourists was later trying to tell a reporter that Russia and Georgia are “good friends”. Then the Reporter asks “Do you know 20% of our territory is occupied by Russia?” Then the tap dancing begins. “Good friends” has a different meaning in Russia.

“This is an intercepted radio communication from one of the RusNavy ships that was struck by a Ukrainian marine drone (USV) requesting the evacuation of 1 dead and 5 wounded sailors. Based on previous reports, I believe the ship that was damaged in the strike was the “Sergei Kotov.”
This happened 340 km from Sevastopol, and all drones, according to the Russian MoD, were allegedly destroyed and neither ship was damaged.”
