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.
“why we are not seeing a lot of the KA-52s
130 in russian service at the start of the war
of that about 20 were non combat operational.. testing, crashes, hard landings, etc... 2 were burned in a hanger in the NMD
110...
50 were KNOWN to have been lost due to shoot downs
60.....
20+ suspected to be shot down (ukr est) so take away 10
50....
we KNOW that many have been stripped of parts. you can see black helos have camo parts and some camo helos have black parts... aircraft that were not shot down but bade it back to base but were damaged so bad they will never fly again
20 or so...
30....
we know that the atacms strikes have taken out at least 10
the strike last night is suspected of taking out 5
15 or less...
-30+% for down for maint at any one time
10 ish....
known to have been produced in the last 2 years...
about 4
so 14 total flyable at any one time... or less
in a recent video released from the russian MOD the video showed a 4 ship KA-52 formation...
2 had Zs (central military dist), one had the harry potter sign (3rd corps), and one had the V (eastern military dist).
so to get 4 aircraft up they are having to combine the entire force to get a mission going.
and this will only get worse now that more and more long range rockets come on line.”

NATO freezes a Cold War-era security pact after Russia pulls out, raising questions on arms control

BRUSSELS — NATO member countries that signed a key Cold War-era security treaty froze their participation in the pact on Tuesday just hours after Russia pulled out, raising fresh questions about the future of arms control agreements in Europe.
Many of NATO’s 31 allies are parties to the Treaty of Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, which was aimed at preventing Cold War rivals from massing forces at or near their mutual borders. The CFE was signed in November 1990 as the Soviet bloc was crumbling but was not fully ratified until two years later.
NATO said that Tuesday’s action by its signatory members was required because “a situation whereby Allied State Parties abide by the Treaty, while Russia does not, would be unsustainable.”
Earlier in the day, Moscow said it had finalized its withdrawal from the treaty. The long-expected move, which the Kremlin blamed in part on NATO’s continued expansion closer to Russia’s borders, came after lawmakers in Moscow approved a bill proposed by President Vladimir Putin denouncing the CFE.
U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said suspending the obligations by Washington and its allies will strengthen NATO’s “deterrence and defense capacity by removing restrictions that impact planning, deployments, and exercises — restrictions that no longer bind Russia after Moscow’s withdrawal.”
Russia’s actions “further demonstrates Moscow’s continued disregard for arms control,” he added.
The German Foreign Ministry underscored that Berlin and its allies are not pulling out of the treaty. “In the case of a fundamental change in Russia’s behavior, a renewed implementation of the CFE remains possible,” it said.

The ministry said Germany intends to stick to the national limits for weapons systems in the treaty. It criticized Moscow’s withdrawal, saying that “Russia is destroying another pillar of our European security and arms control architecture.”
“Securing a balanced conventional potential of forces in Europe cannot be realized without the involvement of Russia,” it added.
The treaty was one of a number of major arms control treaties involving Russia and the U.S. that has been crippled in recent years.
Last week, Putin signed a bill revoking Russia’s ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, a move that he said was needed to establish parity with the United States.
In February, with U.S.-Russia tensions running high over Ukraine, Moscow suspended its participation in the New START Treaty, the last arms control pact that remains between the two countries.
Both countries also pulled out of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 2019, blaming each other for violations.
The INF Treaty, which was signed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, banned the production, testing and deployment of land-based cruise and ballistic missiles with a range of 500 to 5,500 kilometers (310 to 3,410 miles).
William Alberque, director of Strategy, Technology and Arms Control at The International Institute for Strategic Studies, expressed concern that another arms control treaty is under threat.
“What is needed right now is more transparency, more risk reduction, more what we would call guardrails on competition,” he said. “We basically need to manage the competition so that it doesn’t spiral into crippling arms races.”
When it was signed, the CFE envisaged weapons limits for the Warsaw Pact and NATO, but the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist shortly after it was signed. Unsuccessful attempts were made to renegotiate its conditions.
Russia suspended its participation in 2007, and in 2015 announced its intention to completely withdraw.
In February 2022, Putin sent hundreds of thousands of Russian troops into Ukraine, which also shares borders with NATO members that signed the CFE: Poland, Romania and Hungary.
Announcing Moscow’s withdrawal from the treaty had been completed, the Russian Foreign Ministry blamed the U.S. and its allies for the move as well as the West’s allegedly “destructive position” on the treaty.
“We left the door open for a dialogue on ways to restore the viability of conventional arms control in Europe,” it said. “However, our opponents did not take advantage of this opportunity.”
The ministry said that “even the formal preservation” of the treaty has become “unacceptable from the point of view of Russia’s fundamental security interests,” citing developments in Ukraine and NATO’s recent expansion.
NATO said its members remain committed “to reduce military risk, and prevent misperceptions and conflicts.” It said the alliance will continue to “consult on and assess the implications of the current security environment and its impact on the security” of the Euro-Atlantic region.

Video at the link is well worth watching.
The drones are quad-copter commercial, most likely DJI Mavic.
It appears that UKR captures control of the ruzzian drone and commands it to crash.
I wonder how long Ukraine has had this capability.
My guess is the ruzzian Lancet kamikaze drone is not impacted by this EW system. Although I have not see a lot of Lancet video recently.

Haven’t heard Teplinskiy is dead. Assume he survived that strike.

We’re Lucky They Are So F Stupid.
Did the UK have elections during World War II? No. Ukraine is more affected by the war than the UK was. No parts of the UK were occupied by the enemy.
How would you organize elections in the occupied parts of the country or near the front? You know it would be impossible, but you want to criticize the Ukrainian government so any reason to critcize is a good reason for you.
