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.”
Invaders lost 15 more tanks and 23 more artillery pieces!
Demilitarization, desatanization and denazification of RuZZia continues.
RuZZian casualties between 390,000 and 480,000. Not counting Wagner. With Wagner, probably over 500,000!
What a Blessing for the USA.
“According to British intelligence, the Russian Federation has lost 150,000 to 190,000 soldiers killed and wounded since the beginning of the invasion, and the total number (including those wounded who returned to the battlefield) ranges from 240,000 to 290,000.”

“Inside the Commando Raids Unnerving Russia in Crimea”
“The lightning assaults are part of a larger campaign using drones and missiles to degrade Russian forces and demoralize the public.”
“Late one evening this month, two Ukrainian commandos eased into a side street in Kyiv in a battered SUV. Back from a dangerous nighttime assault on Russian positions in the Crimean peninsula, they slipped into a sparsely furnished apartment where they sat at desks, weary and a little disheveled, and described their latest operation in matter-of-fact fashion.
“Very tough,” said Askold, 38. “It was our most difficult operation yet,” added Kukhar, 23. Members of a unit in the special operations forces of G.U.R., Ukraine’s military intelligence service, the men gave only their call signs in accordance with military protocol.
The two men had joined more than 30 others racing more than 100 miles across the western Black Sea on jet skis to attack critical Russian defense installations before making their getaway, the second Ukrainian amphibious raid in six weeks.”

WSJ video.
“Video Analysis Shows Gaza Hospital Hit by Failed Rocket Meant for Israel”
The Russian Ministry of Finance released their monthly report on revenues. This year so far, total oil and gas revenues are running about 1/3 what they were in 2021 (in rubles), but only about 1/5 in dollars, due to the drop in value of the ruble.
The total Russian budget has been running a deficit all this year (unlike last year), despite big tax raises on oil. Every year, Russia books a bunch of annual expenses in the December report, which will likely be bad this year.
This year is a financial disaster for the Russian Government.
One theory is that the ground invasion of Gaza is waiting for the Eisenhower Carrier Strike group to arrive on station. It left from Norfolk over a week ago, and SecDef said it is heading to the Persian Gulf.
