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.

Summarizing this war:
A tragedy for Ukraine.
A disaster for RuZZia.
A strategic win for the USA.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
“Some Ukrainians Helped the Russians. Their Neighbors Sought Revenge.”
“For people in Bilozerka, the invasion began a cat-and-mouse game of collaboration and resistance.”
“Andriy Koshelev steered his car into the driveway of his home on Pushkin Street in Bilozerka, a lakeside town in Ukraine’s Kherson region. Leaving the car on, Koshelev got out and walked to the entrance gate. He reached down to loosen the latch. When he pulled it, the gate exploded. Koshelev’s parents, who lived on the same property, rushed outside as acrid smoke filled their driveway and the street. The explosion resounded across town.”
“Due to recent gains by the Russian army near Avdiivka, some are mistakenly downplaying the town’s strategic importance. People have compared it to Bakhmut and suggested that focusing on Avdiivka is a misguided use of resources. The reality tells a different story, here’s why:”

As I’ve said, there is plenty of ‘energy’ in the world.
“GEORGETOWN, Guyana—New supermarkets here are stocked with prime Texas rib-eyes. A recently opened waterfront hotel offers executive suites for $750 per night. The national cricket team, the Amazon Warriors, is getting a new stadium that begins construction next spring.
Money is pouring into Guyana, which is quickly being transformed from one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere into the world’s fastest-growing economy, according to the International Monetary Fund. The economic makeover is succinctly explained by the sponsor named on the cricket team’s jersey: Exxon XOM 0.68%increase; green up pointing triangle Mobil, the oil giant based almost 3,000 miles to the north.
Guyana is suddenly the world’s next great energy powerhouse. Through a series of discoveries starting in 2015, Exxon and its two partners, Hess and Chinese oil company Cnooc, have found more than 11 billion barrels of oil off the Guyanese coast—a bounty that could last for decades. Some oil executives say they’ve never seen a success of that scale in their careers and won’t again see one like it.”

Kremlin snuff box
Kadyrov did send his troops to Dagestan.
Alas, there are victims
We learned that Ramzan Kadyrov sent several small groups to Dagestan after the temporary seizure of the airport and the Jewish pogroms in Makhachkala.
There is information that one of the detachments, numbering four fighters, was killed on the highway near Khasavyurt.
The police mistook them for saboteurs and opened fire.
The situation in the Caucasus is heating up.
I remember a year ago we warned that due to Kadyrov’s rash actions, a civil war could break out in the Caucasus.
How many more detachments and for what purpose were sent from Chechnya to Dagestan is still unknown.

“recent gains by the Russian army near Avdiivka”
Denys Davydov painted a grim picture for Avdiivka last night.
The Terikon, a powerful fortification on commanding high ground North of Avdiivka, has been captured by the Russians, leaving them just over a mile from the Northern main supply route into Avdiivka, with overwatch and fire control.
The situation is fairly similar for the other main supply route to the South, except for the elevation advantage.
It looks grim.
General SVR update:
The corpse of Russian President Vladimir #Putin is still in the freezer at the Valdai residence. As they joke in the Kremlin, “Putin has prepared for #Halloween better than anyone else and is doing an amazingly natural job of portraying a dead man”.
While people in the #Kremlin are joking, Nikolai #Patrushev has no time for jokes. For the sixth day, he has been looking for a solution as to how to deal with the body of the deceased. So far, there is no solution.
From yesterday:
Avdiyivka
The occupiers managed to roll over the railway to the west. Now they are trying to break through directly in the direction of Stepovoy.
Also, the enemy is present near AKHZ and its surroundings. They are not yet at the factory.
Our art and drones work non-stop. A lot of enemies are mowing down.
The orcs are constantly retreating, but new groups are coming in for assaults. Almost non-stop.
Occupants there are like cockroaches. In addition, they brought a fresh army there.
It was difficult, but it will be even more difficult.
Update from 8 hours ago:
Avdeevka. At one site in the north, the fagots pushed through a piece of iron. The situation is difficult. Our guys are working, the fagots have used everything they have available...
⚡️🇷🇺Russian sources report that the Armed Forces of 🇺🇦Ukraine today struck the command post of the Russian group “Dnepr” in the area of occupied Henichesk, at least one person was killed and several wounded there.
The Dnepr strategic group was recently headed by the commander of the Russian Airborne Forces, General Mykhailo Teplinsky, who suddenly replaced General Oleg Makarevich.
It is not known whether Teplinsky was at the command post at that moment.
“Russian sources report that the Armed Forces of 🇺🇦Ukraine today struck the command post of the Russian group “Dnepr” in the area of occupied Henichesk, at least one person was killed and several wounded there.”
“Russian channel VchK-OGPU says that Russian General Teplinskiy might have been a target in a “strike against the command centre of the “Dnepr” army group”. The news about Teplinsky replacing Makarevich as the head of the “Dnepr” group was leaked just days ago. This general, who comes from VDV, appears to be highly esteemed by Russian servicemen.”
