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 Internet Trolls Do What They Do and How to Spot Russian Fakes”

“Russia has sustained casualties of between 300,000 and 400,000 killed and wounded in the war in Ukraine so far, and in the heaviest fighting at Avdiivka is losing between 500 and 1,000 a day according to a briefing by western officials.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, nevertheless acknowledged that Ukraine’s counter offensive on the Zaporizhzhia front has essentially culminated, although “three brigades” are believed to have made it across the Dnipro river near Kherson.
“Neither side is capable of mounting a decisive operation on land,” one of the officials said, and it appeared that “a prolonged conflict” was likely to follow in which long term US and European military aid would be crucial.
A significant force, described as three brigades, had established a position across the Dnipro that the Russians have proved unable to dislodge, although it was unclear, they said, how much armour the Ukrainian military had been able to get across the river.
But despite the cross-river success, the officials said they expected that Ukraine would most likely only be able to make incremental “village at a time” progress, a similar pace to summer efforts south of Orikhiv and Velyka Novosilka.”
And The RuZZian Boys on FR are disappointed…
“As U.S. Wavers on Ukraine Aid, Europe Steps Up”
“European powers are increasingly helping Kyiv hold the line against Russia as the war slips toward stalemate”
“European governments are boosting their assistance to Ukraine as worries grow that Washington’s failure to approve new aid could cause Ukraine to lose ground in the war against Russia.
Europe and the U.S. increasingly believe that Ukraine will struggle to win significant territory in the near term and are focusing their efforts on enabling Kyiv’s forces to hold the line against Russia.
Following Ukraine’s failure to gain meaningful territory in its counteroffensive this year, the war has largely reached an impasse. Western leaders now worry that Ukraine’s growing shortfall in money and ammunition could offer Moscow an opportunity next year to regain areas it lost to Ukraine last year.
Until now, the U.S. has borne much of the burden of helping Ukraine militarily, with tens of billions of dollars in assistance. Now, Europeans are planning to take a growing role.”
….
“France said this month it was allocating more than $200 million in additional money for Ukrainian purchases of French equipment, doubling the fund’s size. The Dutch government pledged more than $542 million to help Ukraine obtain ammunition, and Belgium said last month it would provide Ukraine with more than $1.85 billion next year, using proceeds from a tax on the profit made by Russian central-bank assets sitting in a Belgian financial institution. “
Good morning. How many replies to nobody on the thread will you make before your buddies show up?
“Ukrainian forces destroyed several pieces of Russian equipment on the occupied left bank, among them the TOS-1A Solntsepek ‘Heavy flamethrower’ which Russia actively used to dislodge Ukrainian forces near the bridgeheads.”

I am starting to think that you and your posse of misfit toys are just really one nut with multiple FR handles.
Those Javelins the RuZZian Boys say Ukraine has run out of.
“East of Kupyansk, Ukrainian forces continue to put together a very effective defense anchored roughly 15 km east of the city. Seen here, a Ukrainian soldier nails a Russian tank with a US-supplied FGM-148 Javelin ATGM in top attack mode.”

It started with Trump’s Tariffs….
“For Biden, a Subtle Shift in the Power Balance With China’s Xi Jinping”
“For the first time in years, a Chinese leader desperately needed a few things from the United States.”
“President Biden and President Xi Jinping, seen from the back, walk on a red carpet through a doorway. Mr. Biden reaches a hand toward the back of Mr. Xi, who is ahead.

“When President Biden met President Xi Jinping on Wednesday on the edges of Silicon Valley, there was a subtle but noticeable shift in the power dynamic between two countries that have spent most of the past few years denouncing, undercutting and imposing sanctions on each other.
For the first time in years, a Chinese leader desperately needed a few things from the United States. Mr. Xi’s list at the summit started with a revival of American financial investments in China and a break in the series of technology export controls that have, at least temporarily, crimped Beijing’s ability to make the most advanced semiconductors and the artificial intelligence breakthroughs they enable.
All this may explain why Mr. Biden’s aides were able to negotiate, fairly quickly by Chinese diplomatic standards, a potentially major agreement on stopping the flow of the chemical precursors for fentanyl to the United States and a resumption of military-to-military communications, critical for two superpowers whose forces bump up against each other every day.”
