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.

Additional confirmation on Ukrainian casualties.
As previously reported back in August:
“Russia’s military casualties are approaching 300,000, including as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injuries, the newspaper reported.
Ukrainian deaths were close to 70,000, with 100,000 to 120,000 wounded”

And RuZZian Boys are disappointed.
And will be disappointed again when the US funds another year of military aid.
“Germany will significantly expand assistance to Ukraine next year, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Monday.
“Our support will be massively expanded for next year,” she said, according to the Associated Press. The comments come after several media reports, citing unnamed sources, stating that Germany plans to expand its military funding for Kyiv next year.
The Bild am Sonntag newspaper reported at the weekend that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s governing coalition wants to increase Germany’s military aid for 2024 from a planned 4 billion euros to 8 billion euros ($8.5 billion). The plans have not been confirmed yet, however, and will need to be approved by a parliamentary committee.
Asked about the report, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told the ARD broadcaster that “right now, as Ukraine has to continue its fight and at the same time part of public attention worldwide is directed more toward Israel, this is a strong signal to Ukraine that we won’t leave it in the lurch.””
When is that coalition majority going to take charge in the House? Inquiring minds want to know.
“Government shutdown looms as new speaker struggles to control hardliners”
“New House Speaker Mike Johnson may already be losing his first big clash with the hard-right lawmakers who are making the Republican majority and the nation ungovernable as time races down to yet another federal funding cut-off.
The Louisiana conservative, who was just lifted from obscurity to second in line to the presidency, may soon find himself in the position that doomed his predecessor Rep. Kevin McCarthy — needing Democratic votes to keep the government open.”

“The enemy was forced to relocate its cruise missile carriers to Novorossiysk, but the logistics that service these carriers remained in Sevastopol. That’s why you are seeing such a big pause in the use of missiles, because now the enemy is faced with the problem of lack of logistics,” explained the speaker of the Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Dmitry Pletenchuk.
Logistics!
General SVR
Before the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev had time to take power into his own hands, and even the “Politburo 2.0” had not yet fully agreed on all the nuances of the future governance of the country, attempts had already begun to ban everything and take control.
Patrushev considers YouTube, uncontrolled social networks and instant messengers to be the main threat to his power.
It should be noted that there are many people surrounded by the Secretary of the Security Council who fully support Nikolai Platonovich in this.
Discussions about the need to block YouTube and several instant messengers began a few days ago and an order has already been given to prepare a report on the possibilities of implementing this initiative.
If experts say that the possibility of blocking is real, then immediately after the New Year the implementation of this plan will begin.
Nikolai Patrushev prefers to approach the Presidential elections by limiting the West’s ability to influence political and social life in Russia.
It is YouTube, according to the Secretary of the Security Council and his associates, that is a means of American intelligence services to destabilize the situation in our country.
And messengers are supposedly means of communication for destructive groups and elements that may try to undermine the unity of the political elites and people of Russia from the inside.
Over the weekend, the handlers of the Double of the Russian President had a moralizing conversation with him, trying to explain how and in what circumstances it is necessary to behave, and what can be said and what cannot be said.
This event lasted more than two hours, after which the backup was connected via video link to Nikolai Patrushev.
The [ Putin ] Double immediately moved on to apologies and promises to continue to behave within the framework assigned to him by his curators, and to say, at meetings and events, only what was agreed upon in advance, without allowing amateur performances.
Patrushev acted as a “good policeman”, allowing the Double to deviate from the text, but only if it did not concern important topics, the list of which the Double received in advance.
In general, the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation praised rather than scolded the Understudy, and after the conversation he became somewhat more cheerful.
The Double has almost recovered from Covid, he feels much better and this week will increase his presence in the information space.
Also this week, the Double’s participation in closed meetings with representatives of the leadership of the security and military blocs, which was interrupted due to illness, will resume.

Are we retreating in the Kherson region? Found out what’s going on
Many were surprised by today’s actions of the Ministry of Defense, which first released news about the retreat of our troops on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region, and then canceled it.
We quickly learned from sources in the ministry and the General Staff what was happening.
Firstly, the decision to retreat in the Kherson region was practically made, according to three of our interlocutors.
“The troops are losing their combat effectiveness, General Teplinsky’s wound did not go away just like that, there is chaos in the Dnepr group of troops.
“The situation is difficult, so we need to retreat. Now the task is to not let the enemy get close to Crimea,” a source in the General Staff said on this occasion.
Secondly, the retreat had to take place in the strictest secrecy; they were going to announce it after the fact.
But what let us down was the chaos that reigns among the troops on this section of the front, and which we have written about more than once.
“It was reported from the localities that we were retreating, we wrote a beautiful message, sent out a newsletter.
“It turned out that neither Sergei Kuzhugetovich nor Vladimir Vladimirovich were in the know.
“We had to ask to delete the news and declare a provocation, look for the machinations of enemies,” our interlocutor explained to us in Ministry of Defense.
Thirdly, our retreat on the left bank of the Dnieper is now in question, which frightens the fighters. Sergei Shoigu and Vladimir Putin can simply stand their ground and not allow the military to retreat.
“If this happens, we will all be suicide bombers. We cannot fight here normally, they will simply kill us. I hope common sense will prevail and we will be saved,” says the military man, who is now in the Kherson region.
"The situation in the area near the settlement of Krynky remains tense, the enemy is concentrating heavy equipment on its bank. Electronic warfare continues to cover the positions, and also at night the SDF and GUR groups are actively working with 120-mm mortars. Since the beginning of the month, we have been waiting for a meeting with the commander of the Dnipro group to discuss pressing problems, including communication and supply issues. So far, the meeting has been postponed."

Ukraine has undoubtedly developed EW capability to force ruzzian drones to crash.
