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.

What Kerch bridge doink?
Kerch bridge. Boom! Boom! Boom!
Again?
Just now.
Attack on Kerch bridge ongoing. Russian fighter jets in the air and failing to stop the attack.
I wonder who gets to brief putin...perhaps one of the guys below.
They would have no missiles or smart bombs that could track a USV.
My guess is that the fighters are flying because someone on-high ordered "do something."
2. So what’s the goal?
Not the bridge. Russian oil tanker near bridge was hit by Ukrainian surface drone.
MOSCOW, August 2. /TASS/. The growth of the Russian GDP in the first half of 2023 amounted to 1.4% in annual terms, according to the Ministry of Economic Development.
In June 2023, GDP grew by 5.3%, in the Q2 - 4.6%.
In June 2023, GDP growth was 5.3% year-on-year after rising by 5.4% in May.
Biden's sanction war, which neocon POS like you are defending, has been a disaster. We're getting the worst end of it.
“”A source close to Rosmorechflot reports that a marine drone crashed into a tanker at a distance of 30 miles from the Kerch Strait.””

“This was a US sanctioned vessel, btw. Has likely shuttled thousands of barrels of Russian oil for military use in the last few months.”

“There goes any chance of future shipping getting any insurance to travel to that area of the Black Sea which was probably the desired outcome.”

“Looks like there is a tug nearby. SIG is likely unable to move on its own following the hit.”

Maybe Kazan can translate the RuZZian for us?
“Audio recording of the RU-flagged SIG tanker following a UAV detonation near the top deck.”

“Rybar confirms a hit on RU-flagged tanker SIG. The crew is uninjured, though heavy damage occurred below deck in the engine room.
One drone was shot down near the bridge itself. Situation is calm as of now, but UKR secondary attack is noted as possible.”

“Radio communication with the crew of the damaged Russian tanker SIG sanctioned by the West years ago for its continued use by the Russian military. “All the cargo tanks are empty, so the ship continues to float.” “Machine room is completely drowned.””

The Black Sea War
“Anyone surprised when Russian ships start going boom throughout the Black Sea hasn’t been paying attention. The grain deal protected Russian ports and shipping as much as it did Ukrainian exports. Unless Ankara nails a last minute deal the Black Sea War is about to start”

“Food for Thought:
Rybar is claiming the SIG was being escorted by the Kotov and Bykov during the strike a couple says ago north of Turkey (see clip below) . However, at the time, the name of the vessel being escorted was the “Sparta IV” which was rumored to be carrying weapons from Iran via Syria. If it was the Sig instead of the Sparta IV, then it is possible it was hit by Ukraine because it is smuggling weapons from Iran. I would not put it past the Russians to convert and oil tanker into a cargo ship to circumvent weapons embargoes and Turkey’s ban of weapons shipments through the Bosporus.
I just can’t believe Ukraine would strike a normal oil tanker when there are other high value targets around. And why would two Russian patrol ships escort an oil tanker? It had a special cargo onboard.”
