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.

“Here is the best-kept secret about U.S. military aid to Ukraine: Most of the money is being spent here in the United States. That’s right: Funds that lawmakers approve to arm Ukraine are not going directly to Ukraine but being used stateside to build new weapons or to replace weapons sent to replace weapons sent to Kyiv from U.S. stockpiles. Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90 percent is going to Americans, one analysis found.”

USA is using 3500 RuZZian tanks as the denominator for pre-war stocks.
RuZZia can build around 200 tanks per year (if they can import the parts). Say another 300 built since the war started. So 3800.
ORYX has cataloged 2500 RuZZian tanks lost. 2500 / 3800 = About 66% gone.
Gone With The Wind. All for a relatively small amount of US taxpayer dollars! A Great TRIUMP of US foreign policy.
“Russia Has Lost Almost 90% of Its Prewar Army, U.S. Intelligence Says”
“The declassified estimate says 315,000 personnel have been killed or injured in Ukraine”
“The war in Ukraine has devastated Russia’s preinvasion military machine, with nearly 90% of its prewar army lost to death or injury, and thousands of battle tanks destroyed, according to a newly declassified U.S. intelligence assessment shared with Congress.
The intelligence assessment, according to a congressional source, says that 315,000 Russian personnel have been killed or injured since the February 2022 invasion, or 87% of Moscow’s prewar force of 360,000.
Russia has also lost nearly two-thirds of its tank force, or 2,200 out of its 3,500 preinvasion stock, the source said.”

“ORYX has cataloged 2500 RuZZian tanks lost. 2500 / 3800 = About 66% gone.”
Clearly Oryx is an undercount, due to its methodology (especially since they scaled back in recent months). The Ukrainian MoD reports 5,664 (likely an overcount). A reasonable base case is probably around 3,000 to 4,000 Russian tanks lost (about as many, or more than, they had operational Nationwide at the start of the 2022 invasion).
The starting number was also likely a bit less than 3,500 (IMHO). 3,300 were assigned to all the units in the Russian force structure (Active, Reserve, All Services) in 2021.
Clearly, not every one was in a Fully Mission Capable (FMC) status, especially in Reserve units. Some number were likely “Hangar Queens”, used within units to strip for parts, to keep more of their other tanks operational. There is also the well known phenomena of false reporting in the Russian Military. I think that 10% non-FMC is a conservative estimate - or about 3,000 operational tanks at the start of the invasion (and another 300 likely repairable).
3,000 - 3,500 of those non-operational tanks in storage are estimated able to be restored to drive and shoot, albeit many without modern capabilities like stabilized guns, ballistic computers, night vision or modern armor.
So about half of the 6,000-7,000 possible tanks they had are gone, just due to battlefield losses. Additionally, some number are likely out of action due to maintenance - worn out, especially critical parts (engines, barrels, computers, optics) are likely in shortage, and will become a constraint before total tank numbers run dry (that should already be becoming difficult for them).
We don’t have to wait for Russian tank numbers to hit zero, for the effects to be seen on the battlefield. The combat capability of the remaining tanks in the Ukrainian Theater of Operations is already significantly lower than at the start of this invasion (and their crews are generally of much lower quality than at the start).
About half of the total possible tanks they have remaining available, are already on the battlefield, so as they burn through the next 1,000 to 2,000, they are increasingly unlikely to be able to keep the same numbers constantly fielded in Theater.
The days of a plentiful flow out of the storage depots comes to an end in 2024 at current rates. A declining Russian tank force of continually lowering quality should start to be seen during 2024, if Western support is maintained.
“Republican Senators Say They’re Weighing Biden’s Immigration Offer”
“President Joe Biden has offered changes to US border policy that raises the prospects of a bipartisan deal on immigration and aid to Ukraine, Republican senators said Wednesday.
Republicans met behind closed doors to evaluate the verbal offer, which emerged after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas met with senators for nearly two hours Tuesday evening.”
“Biden has offered changes to US border policy”
Immigration is polling as an electoral disaster for the Dems.
This is a face saving way in the eyes of their radical base, to throttle back the flow a bit before the election (The Republicans made us do it, but don’t worry, we will outfox them later).
Both sides need some throttling back on immigration, and both sides support aiding Ukraine. It is just a matter of the details.
Will the RuZZian Boys on FR who want to ‘secure the Southern border’ be happy after a deal is reached?
Guessing not. Maybe because they really don’t care about the Southern border.
Maybe that was just an excuse? Inquiring minds want to know.
