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.

The IRS is being more of a pain in the bottom this year.
As predicted back in 2021, before the war.
Its not for “this war”, its for the stupid social spending garbage, which is vastly larger than “this war”.
Which, I note, you dont give a @#£%£ about. Very focused, you lot.

••With the 4 Crimean bridges down, all Russian supply lines in the south are under Ukrainian fire control.
One of the main roads they will have to use leads to Oleshky, which could soon become under UA control, cutting the important cross roads in the area. All of the secondary roads are in bad condition.
This now places the major defence lines with supply and troop rotation problems. It will be a slow process, but eventually, Russia will be unable to supply them, and they will become useless.

Oryx: 08/03-04/2023
Vehicles lost:
Russia = 28
4 Tanks;
2 BUK-M1 systems: 1 destroyed, one damaged.
1 landing ship damaged.
UA = 16
1 Leopard 2A4: one destroyed, 1 2A46 abandoned.
[These were probably lost during the big armor battle in the East in the Novoiehorivka direction, where the UA was forced to retreat from its deep penetration.

Putin was offered to give Kaliningrad to Lukashenko. Sounds weird but makes sense
A number of Russian experts, including the military, have developed a proposal document for the defense of the Kaliningrad region. It is no secret that because of the special operation in Ukraine, part of the troops and equipment was withdrawn from the region and transferred to the combat zone.
The report was handed over to the president. It describes several scenarios, including partial or complete loss of control over the Kaliningrad region. The scenario of transferring the region to Belarus was named a priority.
“The Kaliningrad region leaves the Russian Federation and becomes part of Belarus. Then Minsk lays a land corridor to its own territory, and the RF Armed Forces participate in this all either under a false flag or as assistance to the CSTO,” one of the developers briefly described the scheme.
Between the extreme point of the Republic of Belarus and the Kaliningrad region is less than 70 km. When trying to break through quickly from both sides, the entire operation on the border of Poland and Lithuania can take less than 3-4 hours.
Then fastening. “While NATO troops react, the troops of the Republic of Belarus will already have a land corridor. The estimated width of the corridor is up to 5 km,” the author of the report stressed.
According to some rumors, Wagner PMC units, which are being assembled on the territory of the Republic of Belarus, can send to break through the corridor.
At the same time, clear arguments are made in the document that this is the only scenario that will allow maintaining control over the separated region of the Russian Federation. In the future, both Kaliningrad and Belarus will return to the Russian Federation as parts of the Union State.

Around Kaliningrad began to actively dig trenches
Residents of the Kaliningrad region, on the rights of anonymity, told us that along the international route they began to actively build defensive structures. In particular, engineering equipment and the military were seen near the village of Novoselovo.
Obviously, forecasts about Russia’s possible loss of Kaliningrad have reached Moscow. Back in March, we wrote that such conversations began to sound more often in Germany.
The number of troops in the region has been significantly reduced due to the SVO. More precisely, the number of combat-ready units decreased to a minimum. Everyone who somehow knew how to fight was sent to Ukraine.
Poland, Latvia and Lithuania recently officially renamed Kaliningrad and will now use its “historical names” - Karalyauchi or Kienengsberg.
As we predicted in April, it was the Poles who began to push the topic of Kaliningrad and its future outside of Russia. Obviously, the construction of defensive structures is a response to the decision of the Baltic countries.

Lukashenko retreats, or ..?
Recently, interesting events have been taking place between Minsk and Moscow. The rebellion of Prigozhin ended with the fact that part of his units of PMC Wagner were transferred to Belarus.
Prigogine himself, although he goes there, in general, goes to St. Petersburg more often.
Recently, Alina Kabaeva arrived in Minsk on a visit. And here there is one moment that causes tension among the Belarusian elites. Until that time, Lukashenko skillfully restrained attempts to involve the Belarusian troops in a special operation, which allows the elites to avoid sanctions, and some of them earn even more than before 2022.
We are talking about the resale of goods and the creation of a network of gasket companies for the supply of components from Europe to Russia.
The visits of Russian representatives to Belarus may indicate an attempt to complete the creation of the Union State.
There are rumors in Moscow that Lukashenko, with a creak, but gave the green light to the absorption of Belarus, bargaining for himself a place in the Security Council of the new state. At the same time, the mood in Minsk is different.
“Lukashenko wants to physically outlive Putin. He understands that entering the war will mean the collapse of everything that he has been building for decades,” says a source from among large Belarusian businessmen.
As for the role of PMC Wagner for Lukashenko, versions differ. The information that Prigozhin’s fighters will try to take control of the Suwalki corridor and connect Belarus with the Kaliningrad region is not true.
Now there is simply no strength for this: about the scenario itself, although we wrote long before Prigozhin’s rebellion and the transfer of his troops to Belarus.
In general, an interesting game is being observed, when representatives of the Russian elites go to Minsk literally as if they were at home, but Lukashenko is forced to fly to Putin and play for time.
Regarding dealing with the IRS, the Biden Regime has to collect the money to pay for this war. I suggest that you volunteer your money to the IRS for the great, patriotic Ukraine War since you are such a fan.
I would suggest you tell those Americans in Texas with good energy jobs that you prefer Russia supply Europe with energy instead of them. That you prefer they lose good American tax paying jobs so Russia can finance the building of more nuclear weapons to point at us with proceeds from energy sales.
Your claim that we need a war that that kill hundreds of thousands of people and economy,l crushing sanctions in order to have good oil jobs in Texas is a lie. Under President Trump we had no wars and the oil and gas industry was booming with great paying jobs.
A strategic win for the USA. The biggest winner of the war.
/////
please do not keep repeating this stone cold lie. You do not make friends by repeating this on this board.
The war is strategic for the democrat party in general and the biden administration in particular. but the war in Ukraine is not strategic for the USA. Here’s a comparable.
The war in the Ukraine is about as strategic for the USA as the wars in afghanistan and Iraq.
The Russians are second fiddle to the chinese. This is a great reversal of the cold war era when the chinese were second fiddle to the russians. The natural balancing act that the USA should have done was to do the inverse of what Henry Kissinger did in 1971. But too many players had an interest in a war in the Ukraine—including the Russians, the democrats, the US deep state, the bidens and various players in Europe.
imho the whole thing is a tragedy. as much for the USA as for the Ukes. The USA is currently being invaded. All the invaders will be brought to polls to vote in Nov 2024. The war in Ukraine enables the biden administration to do this to the American people.
The Russians are continuing to dig in the south. New trench lines seem to be forming regularly.
imho this kind of warfare does not play to Uke strengths.
The whole deal is getting behind those trench lines.
It almost looks like the better place to attack now is in the north—where the Rus have fewer defense lines. So a sharp punch would get Ukes behind Rus lines where they could then take some serious ground before the Rus built new fortifications.
In the south, the best places to punch imho is a helicopter crossing of the old dneiper lake of about 2k-4k men just behind the Rus defense lines. Then an a push to the northeast along the south bank of the dneiper. At the same time there would be an attack from the front —also along the lake.
The two sides once linked up would create a corridor to the Rus rear where 10-20k Uke soldiers could go through and just bypass most of the rus fortifications so the entire rus front line in the south would be cut off from resupply.
For this to be successful there could be no gradual build up of Uke forces along the north bank of the dneiper. All the pieces would have to assemble in a couple hours from disparate parts of the Ukraine so no build up would appear to rus spy sattelites.
For this to be successful the Ukes would have to have air superiority. That may not be in the cards any time soon.
We also had Russian energy supplying Europe instead of American while Trump was in office. Is that what you prefer? That shouldn’t be a difficult question for a conservative.
Your comment shows you have no clue about the Russian invasion or much of anything in your anger. Sad.
“A strategic win for the USA.”
I repeat this because its true.
Keep it up!! Ignore the angry ignorant.
so maybe you think this kind of war works to the Uke’s advantage.
“A strategic win for the USA.”
I repeat this because its true.
......
then victories —or losses—in afghanistan and iraq were strategic victories and/or losses.
(win or lose they were neither strategic wins or losses. they were just money sinks)
You would have to explain why it is that you think that a victory in ukraine would be a strategic win for the USA. Just saying so —and repeating it over and over again—makes you just a propagandist.
(the USA is energy independent. So the energy issues are a wash for the USA.)
“makes you just a propagandist.”
Sorry you think that.
Take care.
Agreed.
Going to be more Good RuZZians... ‘that ramp up is really about to kick in’
