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. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles 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 a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's 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.

Calling someone a RuZZian on FR is considered an insult.
Calling someone a Comrade on FR is considered an insult.
Summarizing this war:
A tragedy for Ukraine.
A disaster for RuZZia.
A strategic win for the USA. The biggest winner of the war.
“More than three decades after Reagan left office, most Republicans still believe that America is a force for good.”
The invaders lost 12 more tanks!
Demilitarization, desatanization and denazification of RuZZia continues.
“Russia’s Emergency Rate Hike Fails to Lift Ruble After Crash”
“Central bank trying to stabilize currency after rout amid war”
“Bank of Russia recently suspended purchase of foreign currency”
“Russia’s central bank raised interest rates to the highest in over a year, increasing the pace of monetary tightening at an emergency meeting called after one of the steepest depreciations in emerging markets cast a pall over the economy.
Policymakers lifted their benchmark to 12% from 8.5%, the second straight increase and the sharpest since the immediate aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine almost 18 months ago. The meeting was brought forward by a month after the ruble briefly broke through 100 to the dollar for the first time since March last year.
“The decision is aimed at limiting price stability risks,” the central bank said in a statement. Policymakers provided no further guidance and said they next plan to review borrowing costs on Sept. 15.”
“Three suspected spies for Russia have been arrested and charged in the U.K. in a major national security investigation, the Metropolitan Police confirmed Tuesday.
The defendants, all Bulgarian nationals, were held in February and have been remanded in custody since. They were named by the BBC as Orlin Roussev, Biser Dzambazov, and Katrin Ivanova.
The trio were arrested under the Official Secrets Act by counter-terrorism detectives from the Metropolitan Police, which has national policing responsibility for espionage.
They are charged with possessing identity documents with “improper intention,” and are alleged to have known they were fake.
The documents include passports, identity cards and other documents for the U.K., Bulgaria, France, Italy, Spain, Croatia, Slovenia, Greece, and the Czech Republic, the BBC said.
The are due to appear at the Old Bailey on an as yet unconfirmed future date.”
Peak China
“China’s central bank unexpectedly reduced a key interest rate by the most since 2020 to bolster an economy that’s facing fresh risks from a worsening property slump and weak consumer spending.
The People’s Bank of China lowered the rate on its one-year loans — or medium-term lending facility — by 15 basis points to 2.5% on Tuesday, the second reduction since June. All but one of the 15 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg had predicted the rate would stay unchanged. A short-term policy rate was also cut by 10 basis points.”
“ICYMI, last week @conflictarm published its 10th report since the start of the Russian invasion of #Ukraine. We found that Russia has started using its domestic version of the Iranian Shahed UAV:”
