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.

Recent shoot down of a Russian Ka-52 Attack Helicopter:
“ the fighters reportedly used the Swedish man-portable air defense system RBS 70…
…the range of this system is noticeably bigger (“>9 Km”), which was the main reason why the Russian pilots found such an attack unexpected.”
Brought to us by the same Swedish defense industry that produced the outstanding NLAW anti-tank missile.
An excellent addition to NATO.
Through the window.
So unfortunate.
“The GUR reports that it struck high Russian officials during a meeting in Enerhodar. The so-called head of the city department, Colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Pavel Valerievich Chesanov and his deputies received numerous injuries.”

BREAKING: 300,000.
Celebrate. Sing and Dance!
“Troop Deaths and Injuries in Ukraine War Near 500,000, U.S. Officials Say”
“Russia’s military casualties, the officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded.”
I have been reading that uke counter battery has been improving. What the ukes do is drive up to one point of contact or anther, drop off troops and then drive back. Part of their aim is to draw rus artillery fire. Then Uke drones quickly spot the rus artillery pieces and wire their coordinates back to uke artillery. .... which then fires and takes out the rus artillery.
So I looked at rus artillery losses posted above. If there were a big step change in Uke tactics —then it would be reflected in the numbers of Rus artillery lost— posted above. However, it doesn’t look like there’s any great step change in rus artillery losses. But rather an up and down pattern—where currently rus artillery losses are on the upswing.
To what do you attribute this up and down pattern

Forte10 Global Hawk paying a lot of attention to Kerch Bridge today…
Denys D said his contacts said to keep eye on USV activity tonight ... it might be exciting.
Sevastopol, Kerch, Novorossiysk.
There is a reason the RuZZian Boys are digging through the rubble with their hands.

Every conflict will develop certain battle rhythms, based on the various times it takes different things to cycle (aircraft to turn around for another sortie, resupply deliveries, decisions from the boss, etc.)
For the counteroffensive, the Ukrainians got a lot more Artillery ammo, and a lot of of the highly effective DPICM (Cluster bomb) type - so they can now fire more on the Russian guns.
Also, because they were bogged down in the mine fields getting hit by Russian Artillery, counter battery fire against the Russian guns became a higher priority.
To move, they have to suppress the Russian guns, and there may be some pulsing as to when they are ready for moves.
Peak China.
“The acceleration will push the number of senior citizens to 520 million by 2050, or 37.8 per cent of the population”
“China population: 100 million more senior citizens expected in next decade as ageing crisis enters ‘crucial juncture’”
“Number of citizens aged over 60 in China is expected to expand by an average of 10 million per year over the next decade”
“Over 38 per cent of the population is also expected to be aged over 60 by 2050, adding to concerns over the state pension fund, elderly care facilities and medical services”
HAHA very funny: “the state pension fund, elderly care facilities and medical services”
That’s great!! There are no social services in China. HAHAHAHA
Forte10 now having a close look at Sevastopol.
There's an pill for that (or a virus).
