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.”
Time to vote on aid to Ukraine and Israel. Count the votes.
“The new house speaker, Republican Michael Johnson, said that the United States cannot allow Putin to win in Ukraine. “Russia’s victory may encourage and empower China in relation to Taiwan.” He added that aid to Ukraine will require greater accountability.”

“Russian sources claim the infamous traitor Oleg Tsaryov, a former Ukrainian MP who switched sides in 2014, has been stabbed near his home in Yalta, Crimea. At the start of the full-scale invasion, some reported that Tsaryov could become the head of the Ukrainian “puppet state”.“
“Other resources are now saying he was actually shot, not stabbed.”

It does not escape me that ATACMS defeated the vaunted S-400 in a head-to-head match.
FYI... ATACMS can maneuver in three space.

The S-400 takedown was reported yesterday. The link above shows explosions.
Although 3 "systems" were claimed, it is most likely that 3 components (launchers, radars, command trailer) of 1 system were destroyed.
S-400s are supposed to be able to kill ballistic missiles.
Takedown by ATACMs shows significant vulnerabilities of the S-400s.
Perhaps, NATO observation drones informed UKF that the S-400 radars were not transmitting. One of many possibilities.
It's unusual that ruzzia admitted the takedown. There will probably be some satellite photos in the near future.
FYI... ATACMS can maneuver in three space.
My interpretation: ATACMs are not ballistic missiles...they are guided missiles. This complicates the S-400 tracking solution, making them difficult to shoot down.
Marcus...please ping me with any updates.
ATACMs is designed to break apart over or near the target... this will leave the rear part of the rocket intact.

“infamous traitor Oleg Tsaryov”...
“Other resources are now saying he was actually shot, not stabbed.”
Why not both?
If you are going to do a job, do it right.
“ATACMS defeated the vaunted S-400 in a head-to-head match.”
They are really shifting the balance of the Air War over the Ukraine - destroying enemy Air Defense and airframes, and denying airfields.
If the ukes are going to win this war—they’re going to need to come in behind dug in russian defenses byo of a dneiper crossing. to do that successfully, they’re going to need to take out russian air defenses. ATACMS look to be a help that way. (as of now russian air defenses are still working along the dneiper. but maybe not in the future.)
Absolutely!
I would add that F-16s are also necessary for CAS, SEAD, Battlefield Air Interdiction (BAI), Offensive Counter Air (OCA) and Defensive Counter Air (DCA)/High Value Asset Protection.
Air Superiority or Air Dominance.
Release the Falcons!
Valery Gerasimov wants to transfer troops from near Artemovsk and from the Zaporozhye direction of the front to storm Avdiivka
He expressed this idea during a conversation with several generals close to him, our source at the General Staff said. Gerasimov remains of the opinion that it will be difficult for us to retain Artemovsk (Bakhmut) and Tokmak.
But, according to him, there are chances to take Avdiivka.
“Valery Vasilyevich wants to rationally distribute efforts. After all, if our guys have to die, then at least let them die for a goal that can be achieved,” our interlocutor explained.
However, he does not know whether Gerasimov’s idea will be realized.
Such a transfer of troops is fraught with the loss of control over Artemovsk and part of the Zaporozhye region (including over Tokmak, which the Chief of the General Staff has long proposed to give to the enemy in order to save forces and resources), therefore Vladimir Putin personally must give the go-ahead.
And for the President, “any retreat now will be extremely painful, even if we advance in another direction of the front.”
As for Avdiivka, the losses there, unfortunately, are growing.
According to preliminary data, as of Thursday evening, October 26, the number of our military personnel killed in this direction of the front exceeded 3,200 people.

I have read that the R-16’s are coming—but not the other stuff. But I’m not paying close attention. Do you read that the CAS, SEAD, BAI and what not are on their way?
