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.

I also saw a report of a ‘second wave’, just hard to really know...
I would like to see some pictures of the drones.
“Appears that the attacks tonight are partially being carried out by Ukrainian Bober UAVs.”

Not many pictures of the Ukrainian Bober UAV.
I hope they have several thousand of these ready to launch.
Per Russian media, the "Edelweiss" plan has been implemented in Pskov, with extra armed police deployed to the airbase as a stopgap.

It appears to me that the "Edelweiss" plan involves multiple people on foot looking for "partisans".

“The “Edelweiss Plan”... brings All Employees of the Internal Affairs Ministry and Local Police Departments to the Defense of the Region by Federal Directive.”
Sounds like it puts local security forces under Military control.
These may not be the same ones...
While the Bryansk attack appears to be “Beaver” drones, I suspect the Pskov attacks might be copter drones.
Pskov is even closer to the Estonian border than the TU-22 base struck last week. Either there is a SOF unit operating in the area, or some Russian partisans. Possibly crossing from Estonia or Latvia.

“Reportedly a burning Russian Il-76 at Pskov Airbase”
That one looks like a full write off of the $50 million purchase price.
