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.”
“A new grain corridor highlights Ukraine’s military successes in the Black Sea, experts say.”
“Russia has held sway over the Black Sea for much of the war. But Ukraine is increasingly managing to gain a degree of control over part of its disputed waters, aided by an intensifying military campaign, experts say.
In recent weeks, several cargo vessels have successfully sailed a new shipping corridor established by Ukraine to evade Russia’s de facto blockade of its Black Sea ports. Analysts say that may stem from Kyiv’s new ability to hit Russian warships and potentially deter them from approaching Ukrainian waters, as well as its efforts to degrade Moscow’s surveillance capacities in the Black Sea.
To be sure, the Russian Navy may be reluctant to target civilian ships sailing near the shores of members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, along the Black Sea’s west coast, which would most likely prompt widespread condemnation, and risk escalating the war.”
“580 days of war. A little recap for those who may have forgotten:
1. At the beginning of the invasion:
- At the beginning, they said, “We will take Kyiv in 3 days”;
- In the beginning, they said, “The objectives are to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine”;
- In the beginning, they said: “We will protect the Russian population in Ukraine”;
What happened?
- Kyiv remained standing, but they massacred thousands of people in #Bucha, #Irpin, #Borodyanka, #Makariv, #Izum, #Mariupol;
- They didn’t denazify anyone, because they didn’t have anyone. They did not demilitarize, but created a militarily strong Ukraine;
- They bombed and razed to the ground cities with a large Russian-speaking population: #Mariupol (510k inhabitants, 44% Russian) was razed to the ground. #Kharkiv (1.4 mil inhabitants, 36% Russian), #Severodonetsk (120k inhabitants, 39% Russian), #Lysychansk (115k inhabitants, 31% Russian), #Kherson (290k inhabitants, 45% Russian), #Melitopol (150k inhabitants, 40% Russian) and many others where the largest local ethnicity was Russian. Some of them were simply razed to the ground. Others were and still are bombed—the Russian model of protecting its population.
2. A few months after the invasion:
- We will conquer Donbas;
- We will annex all the territories we now control;
What happened?
- The historic #Donbas region (Donetsk and Lugansk Oblast) has never been conquered and will never be conquered;
- They lost the territories of Herson Oblast, #Kharkiv Oblast, a small part of #Zaporozhia Oblast, #Lugansk Oblast, and Donetsk Oblast, annexed by Putin’s decree of September 2022;
3. What followed after that:
3.1 Putin demanded the conquest of Donbas by the end of July 2022;
What happened?
- They didn’t conquer it;
3.2 Putin demanded the conquest of Donbas by the end of August 2022;
What happened?
- They didn’t;
3.3 Putin limited himself to ordering the conquest of Bakhmut by the end of October 2022!
What actually happened?
- They did not conquer it;
3.4 Putin ordered Bakhmut to be conquered by the end of the year!
What actually happened?
- You guessed it. They didn’t conquer it;
3.5 Putin ordered that by the end of February 2023, Bakhmut be conquered!
- You guessed it again. They haven’t;
#Bakhmut, the mining town, the historic fortress in Donbas, fell after it turned into the #Wagner graveyard at the end of May 2023.
The 3-day war reached 580, and the world’s second-largest army became the world’s second-largest army not. Nor in Europe. But of Ukraine. During #Prigozhin’s Mysterious March, the Russian Army became the second-largest army in... the Russian Federation.
Let us remember the “I don’t need a ride, I need Ammo”, the “russian warship, go f**k yourself!”, and the hero with a cigarette in his mouth who in his last moments defies the war criminals in front of him and shouts “Slava Ukraini”. Let us remember the Heroes of Azovstal. Let us remember the mass graves at Bucha, Izium, Borodyanka, #Chernihiv, and those we will discover in Mariupol. Let us remember the children deported and killed in Russian concentration camps.
Let us remember the courage, the bravery, the tenacity, and the sacrifice made by the Ukrainian people, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and those who today inspire an entire world, and let us respond properly to ...
#SlavaUkraini!”

“when they met it was murder”: Any RuZZian Boys get the reference to Wagner?
“I don’t know the background of this video, but I do believe it shows the crash of the Il-76 in Mali back on 23 Sep 2023. It also shows the aircraft from which the photo below was taken, and confirms that the touchdown was very late — too late.”

Billions of dollars wasted on a losing campaign draining and exposing our military weaknesses and deficiencies is hardly a "win".
S it up RuZZian Boys.
Remember Vietnam and Korea? Yea, so do I.
“Russia accused American and British intelligence services of helping Ukraine to plan and conduct last Friday’s missile strike on the Black Sea Fleet’s headquarters in Sevastopol, Crimea.
“On September 22, Sevastopol came under attack again; there is not the slightest doubt that this attack was pre-planned using Western intelligence assets, NATO satellite equipment, reconnaissance aircraft and was carried out at the instigation and in close coordination with the American and British intelligence services,” Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing in comments published by Russian news agency TASS.”
Sounds like they are admitting the strike was successful.
When will ruzzia formally announce the new Black Sea Fleet commander?
“When will ruzzia formally announce the new Black Sea Fleet commander?”
Let’s start a rumor that the old Black Sea Fleet Commander sold out to the Ukrainians to enable the strike on the HQ, and is now partying on a yacht in the South of France (next to Reznikov’s), having embezzled a billion dollars.
The Biden regime refuses to use our military for its primary purpose, protecting the USA from invasion, but dumps billions on Ukraine to pay salaries for everyone from EMTs to farmers.
U.S. aid is subsidizing Ukraine corporates, paying state salaries and buying fertilizer for farmers

I missed it
you must be referring to Russia defending itself from Ukrainian aggression and racketeering in it's neighboring region of allied territories of the former soviet union
“aggression and racketeering in it’s neighboring region of allied territories of the former soviet union”
Wow. That is the best Google Translate could come up with?
“Russian Strela-10 air defense system destroyed with FPV drone. By the Adam Tactic Group.”
