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 Arsenal of Democracy.
Flashback from May, 2023.
Thats another 50k artillery shells per month.
Ukraine will be swimming in artillery shells next year.
“The German military-industrial concern Rheinmetall plans to produce up to 600,000 pieces of artillery ammunition a year to be supplied to Ukraine, the company’s CEO Armin Papperger told the Handelsblatt newspaper on May 5, Report informs referring to TASS.
Rheinmetall plans to supply Ukraine with a significant amount of artillery ammunition.
“We can produce up to 600,000 pieces of ammunition per year,” Papperger stressed. With an annual production capacity of 450,000 rounds of ammunition a year, Rheinmetall is already the largest Western munitions producer.
“We can expand our production up to 600,000-700,000 pieces of artillery ammunition a year,” Papperger said.”
OOD how the US can only produce ~10% of the German output in artillery shells, even “ramped up”.
The north may be better as far as Russian defenses, but there is a reason the Russians are defending the south so hard, Crimea
We will see, winning in the north gain’s territory but then allows more Russian forces to move south
Multiple lines of defense does not mean they are manned, take out the artillery, cluster the hell out if the trenches and maybe
“80,000 a month” is nearly a million shells per year for USA by end of next year.
Germany, 600-700k yearly after increase.
My bad.
“Soldiers of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade destroyed a Russian Ka-52 helicopter from a MANPADS in the Zaporіzhzhia direction.
Glory to our soldiers 💪
We continue to work!
P.S
Russian source confirmed this loss”

cluster the hell out if the trenches
—
Cluster shells are not that effective against trenches - trenches are linear while cluster shell have a circular pattern - So only a few random sub-munitions actually land in a trench and do nothing if the trench is covered.
They are effective against light armored vehicles, transport/supply, fuel trucks, and artillery positions.

Kremlin snuffbox
Shoigu “behind the back” called General Teplinsky
given to him by General Mikhail Teplinsky Sergei Shoigu refused to study the ideas on how to improve the situation at the front and reduce losses among our troops. We were told about this by two sources in the Ministry of Defense.
“What does this axxhole think about himself? Let him shut up and be glad that he has not been kicked out or imprisoned yet. He gives me ideas,” the minister said. Teplinsky’s proposals infuriated him, our interlocutors say.
We turned to people close to Teplinsky for comment. They are discouraged by this response and promised a reaction in the coming days.
“Mikhail Yuryevich is now on one of the very difficult sectors of the front and is not always in touch. He will return, we will definitely talk with him. I wonder, for example, whether the Minister of Defense is ready to repeat the same words in the eyes of Teplinsky,” a person close to the general told us military.

Oil is a commodity where all producers' price is set by trading and futures markets. All that locking Russia out of Europe did was raise the price of oil and gas for everyone (we limited supply) and forced Europe to by Liquified Natural Gas from America via boat at 3 to 4 times the cost instead of getting it from a pipeline from Russia. Now Russia just shifted exports to China and India decreasing America's exports to those 2 countries. All we did in essence was to shift where China, India, and Europe get their oil and gas but we did not increase America's export volumes, we just raised prices for Americans and Europeans and dropped them for India and China.
Russia's already expending, by conservative estimates, 25000 artillery shells a day which works out to 750000 a month and they are not running out....
Zeepers are idiots.
The Zeepers think that 40% of the Ukrainian population fleeing the country is a good thing don't you PIF.
Please tell us why losing the entire industrial heartland of the Ukraine is good for the Ukraine.
“JASSMs for F-16s could help a lot with this - and IIRC the US military has a lot of early variant JASSMs in storage that are much less useful for the US military purposes than the current versions.”

“An aerial scout of the 30th OMBr with the call sign “Vyaly” found the MSTA-B of the Russians and adjusted the HIMARS fire. One accurate shot and the position of the occupants along with the ammunition is completely destroyed!”

Agreed but it sure scares the hell out of them
Need some air launched ones they scatter better
Nice caps, shouting is rude
Did I hurt your feewings? By the way, it isn't all caps, it is header formatting of regularly capitalized text but someone is too stupid to know the difference.
