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.

“Can China Fight?”
“The Russia-Ukraine War Offers Warnings.”
“It’s 2027. A Chinese naval blockade is forming off the coast of Taiwan, cyber attacks are hobbling the island’s financial system, paratroopers are massing at coastal airfields and the US aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy is pulling out of port in Japan with a fleet of F-35 jets, heading south at full power.
The battle for Taiwan is about to begin.
This is just a scenario for now, one of many that leaders in Beijing, Washington and Taipei are bracing for — and which their militaries train for every day, as tensions rise over the island’s future. But for all the billions of dollars spent building advanced weaponry and modernizing its forces, at the most senior levels of China’s military and government right up to President Xi Jinping there are doubts that the People’s Liberation Army is ready for battle — or will be for years to come.
Beijing’s worries about its own capabilities have only grown as Russia remains mired in a war in Ukraine that President Vladimir Putin and his military — and many Western analysts and governments — assumed would be a quick and easy invasion.”
“In wartime Russia, soaring prices bite as election looms”
“For Darya Stepanova, a mother of two who lives in a small town on the eastern side of the Ural mountains, soaring prices for everything from baby food to nappies have forced her family to cut back on most treats and eating out.
The Stepanov family is one of millions of Russian families having to cut back due to the significant changes forced on Russia’s economy by the war in Ukraine and the myriad sanctions imposed by the West.
Stepanova, 34, her five year old son and newborn son, try to make ends meet on the 50,000 roubles ($550) a month her husband Sergei earns. When she goes through the snow to the shops, she inspects the prices to search for bargains.
“I can see how everything has become more expensive in the course of just these past five years,” Stepanova told Reuters in her flat in Sredneuralsk, a town on the shores of Lake Iset about 25 km (15 miles) north of the Urals city of Yekaterinburg and 1400 km (870 miles) east of Moscow.”

The Marine Infantry Command’s claims are the first to come directly from the Ukrainian military about advances across one of Russia’s most significant strategic barriers. Earlier this week, Andriy Yermak, head of the president’s office, confirmed for the first time that Ukraine had established a foothold on the eastern side of the river.
The wide river is a natural dividing line along the southern battlefront and Moscow’s forces have used it since leaving the area around the city of Kherson in November 2022 to prevent Ukrainian troops from advancing further toward Russian-annexed Crimea.
“[RuZZia’s GDP] 2013 it had grown into a $2.3 trillion economy. Last year, nominal GDP was $2.2 trillion.”
10 YEARS WITH NO INCREASE IN GDP.
Think about that.
They not only killed helicopters.
They destroyed spare parts/engines & most importantly killed skilled helicopter maintenance techs
The VKS rotary wing airpower retreat behind Rostov-on-the-Don is about rebuilding a shattered military spares supply chain and reorganizing shattered maintenance units into something that will be militarily deployable.
This takes time that the VKS doesn't have.

“ATACMS”
ATA Boy!
Let’s not forget the JB’s pledge to end fossil fuels in the US in exchange for Chinese-made wind turbine blades, solar panels and EV batteries.
But for all the billions of dollars spent building advanced weaponry and modernizing its forces, at the most senior levels of China’s military and government right up to President Xi Jinping there are doubts that the People’s Liberation Army is ready for battle - or will be for years to come. If ever.
I will give you one thing you are persistent...but I would hate someone like you being a leader as when you get it into your mind that you are right you will fight to you are dead...and when God judges you will find out there was no right or wrong side in this particular case...and you wasted your life for nothing. O.
A few weeks ago, I posted that the RSI was signaling a BUY of the market. That turned out to be correct.
RSI is now signaling an overbought market. Time to sell - at least for a short term trade.

Tricky part is many money managers have underperformed the market this year. So expect a “chase” into the end of the year as they try to “catch up”. That means market finishes the year HIGHER.
To paraphrase Obama, lets make an obscene profit.
As I tell my wife, “I disagree with myself”.
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Now you clowns are praising Obama? Go back to DU.

The air defense has worked, but there are dead. What happened in Sevastopol?
Our sources in the Ministry of Defense told the details of the enemy’s morning attempt to attack Sevastopol.
The interlocutors confirmed the official information - the enemy attacked Sevastopol with two missiles. Both missiles were shot down, but four sailors were killed by falling debris .
The crew of an “experimental” military patrol died. “We decided to send boats out to sea during air raids (and not only) to hunt enemy sea drones.
“This time they sent four people, armed with automatic weapons and a machine gun, on a simple civilian boat. Unfortunately, one of the missiles was shot down right above our sailors. All four died,” one of the sources said.
It was decided to consider the emergency a “tragic coincidence”; patrols will continue to go to sea to fight enemy drones.
How is life in Berlinistan these days? Colder, poorer, and more Muslim than a couple of years ago for sure.
You don’t speak for God.
You are such an highly intelligent adult.
Could you please instruct us further on how the world should be?
As shown in my link above, the KA-52 attack helicopters are now located in Ruzzia. This is too far away to support the Kherson front.
Ruzzian Close Air Support missions will have to be flown by fighter aircraft. These fighters will be short on fuel and will have limited time to support the ground troops.
