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.

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.”
“Desperate for Air Defense, Ukraine Pushes U.S. for ‘Franken’ Weapons”
“To meet the demand, the U.S. is producing so-called FrankenSAM systems that marry advanced Western weaponry with Soviet-era items still in Ukrainian stockpiles.”
“With winter approaching, Ukrainian officials are desperate for more air defenses to protect their power grids from Russian strikes that could plunge the country into freezing darkness.
So desperate, in fact, that they are willing to experiment with a monster of a weapons system that was the brainchild of Ukraine and is now being pursued by the Pentagon.
Americans officials call it the FrankenSAM program, combining advanced, Western-caliber, surface-to-air missiles with refitted Soviet-era launchers or radars that Ukrainian forces already have on hand. Two variants of these improvised air defenses — one pairing Soviet Buk launchers and American Sea Sparrow missiles, the other marrying Soviet-era radars and American Sidewinder missiles — have been tested over the past several months on military bases in the United States and are set to be delivered to Ukraine this fall, officials said.”

These targeting and observation drones enable deadly accurate counterbattery fire.
Because “and then it caught fire” is apparently a natural part of the business cycle in Russia.

Grab a warhead off of a Rocket Propelled Grenade and fly it into an armored vehicle (or any vehicle) from 5 to 10 miles away.

So, ruzzia is flying CAS missions near Avdiivka.
What is ruzzian artillery doing?
A very watchable field interview.
soon all the battery powered drones will be down for the winter.
And putin has what moral ground to criticize Israel for defending itself?

I believe FrankenSAM is primarily using RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missiles and possibly Aim-9Ms.
They claim that he failed to report an accurate picture of the situation on the ground.
Sounds more like that they needed another scape goat for the Russian failures in this sector.
