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.

What’s really terrifying is the Belorussian pep squads doing cheer-leading routines while dressed as Spetnaz. How can you shoot people that are putting on a circus show for you?
Wondered when they would start doing that
Why get a boat all the way to a ship and detonate when they can get close(which they have done repeatedly) then launch a missile
Reports of large number of Tu-95s airborne. Possible large scale missile attack underway.
Cruise missile launches from 21 Russian strategic bombers just now.
Ukraine just shot down a Russian Su-35 over Crimea.
Maybe another friendly fire incident.
“Russians have just shot down another of their own Su-35 bombers over near Krasnoperekopsk, Crimea with an S-300.”

Good if confirmed - question is: when will they start on their TUs and Bears?
New rumor: disgruntled anti-air crews pissed at poor living conditions, missing pay checks and lack of decent Christmas dinners have turned on their own airplanes.
Sounds like more war crime attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure. Power out in parts of Kyiv.
CNBC reports:
“ Ukrainian military officials said air defenses downed 72 Russia missiles that targeted the country earlier Tuesday.
Ukraine’s air force and the commander in chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valery Zaluzhny, said 10 Kinzhal missiles, 59 cruise missiles and three Kalibr had been destroyed in the attacks in which Kyiv and Kharkiv were major targets.
Ukraine’s air force said Tuesday’s attack was as intense as Russia’s “massive” assault on Ukraine last Friday that was described as Russia’s biggest air attack of the war. At least 31 civilians died and over 160 others were wounded in the attacks that damaged infrastructure across the country.
On Tuesday, Ukraine’s air force said on Telegram that “critical infrastructure facilities, industrial, civilian and military facilities were attacked. The main direction of the attack is the capital of Ukraine.”
“In the first wave, they attacked with “Shaheds” [Iranian drones] from the south-eastern direction, with further movement in different regions of Ukraine. All 35 attack UAVs “Shahed-136/131″ were destroyed by air defence,” it said.
The air force said Russia also launched 16 Tu-95MS bombers around 6:00 a.m. local time and used them to launch “at least 70 Kh-101/Kh-555/Kh-55 air-based cruise missiles.”
Around 7:30 a.m. local time, the launch of 10 Kh-47M2 “Kinzhal” hypersonic ballistic missiles from MiG-31K fighters was recorded, the air force said.
“The enemy also attacked from the sea with three Kalibr cruise missiles, and from the north with 12 ballistic missiles of the Iskander-M/S-300/S-400 type.” Preliminary information suggested that Russia had used 99 missiles of various types in total. CNBC was unable to immediately verify the information.”
Some excellent analysis by Tendar.
Many of the Russian missiles, which get destroyed in Ukraine, are detected by the highly sophisticated radar units of multiple air defense systems, such as the MIM-104 Patriot, IRIS-T SLM or NASAMS. The performance of those radar units is excellent. All 10 Russian Khinzals have been eliminated this morning. But it does not end here.
Radar units such as the AN/MPQ-53, the Sentinel radar or the Hensoldt TRML-4D are collecting vast amount of data which are invaluable for further improving those already excellent radar systems. Any potential buyers of Russian missiles will not only realize that the Russian tech is inferior but also that NATO and its allies are in possession of all collected data, rendering those Russian missiles useless if the enemy possesses Western technology.
Nevertheless, even the best radar system needs missiles and this is why the West has to deliver more of them. Ukraine is a huge country and with the current number of air defense systems it isn't possible to cover all areas. We have to close every gap. We have to do far more.

"...the Ukrainian air defense did a solid job."
I agree.
Send more Patriot batteries.

Was the rocket crash in the Voronezh region an accident?
The news of a rocket crash in the village of Petropavlovka, Voronezh region, caused a great resonance. Alas, as a result of the emergency, as we reported, 11 people died, including three children.
We learned that the incident in Petropavlovka could not have been accidental. Sources in the Aerospace Forces say that the rocket’s fall in the indicated location was most likely not accidental.
“The pilots say that they worked out everything clearly according to their goals,” said a source in the General Staff. He suggested that someone had given the pilots the wrong coordinates. However, our interlocutor refused to talk about this with 100% certainty.
Let us note that this, unfortunately, is not the first time that missiles and ammunition fired by our Aerospace Forces have fallen on the territory of our country. Last year, if you remember, an aerial bomb fell on Belgorod. Alas, this happens. Unfortunately, this is happening more and more often.

In the Voronezh region, 11 people died. We have three questions about what’s going on.
After the publication of the post that after a massive shelling of Kiev, Ukraine could receive missiles from NATO that would reach Moscow, the usual accusations against us began. And they accuse us of working for the enemy and call us Ukrainians. We usually don’t respond to such nonsense, but now, sorry, we couldn’t stand it.
We would like to ask everyone who writes nonsense three questions.
Firstly, according to our information, as a result of a rocket crash in the village of Petropavlovka, Voronezh region, 11 people were killed, including three children. 21 people were injured.
According to preliminary data, an improved modification of the Kh-101 missile fell and did not reach Ukraine. The type of missile is still being determined. Tell me, is it normal for our missiles to kill our own people?
Secondly, we have problems with very important Kinzhal missiles. The enemy stated that ten such missiles were shot down.
This is, of course, nonsense; according to our sources in the General Staff, six Kinzhals were shot down in Kyiv, two did not reach their targets. What further will we bomb and do Shoigu, Gerasimov and Vladimir Vladimirovich have a plan?
Third, how many lives of children and adults that war might take are you willing to sacrifice? In exchange for the opportunity to enjoy the shelling of Kyiv.
After all, by not heeding our warnings, that’s exactly what you are doing, citizen haters. Stop!
Kremlin snuff box
NATO will give Ukraine missiles that will reach Moscow?
A source in the US State Department said this. An American official himself (!) contacted us after a massive strike by Russian troops on Kiev and stated the following:
“I know that you communicate with many representatives of the Russian elite, including the military. Tell them that if they do not stop striking civilian targets in Ukraine (to our objection that we at least aim at military targets, we just don’t always hit, the source laughed - ed.), then the Ukrainians will receive missiles that will reach Moscow, St. Petersburg, and many other places. And there will be no restrictions on their use.”
The interlocutor also noted that “President Putin will not achieve any success in the negotiations (we wrote about their possibility - ed.) with such an approach.”
Now, to be honest, we don’t know whether to rejoice at targeted strikes against the enemy or worry about Moscow. Plus, our country began to have problems with weapons. Unfortunately, we confirm the fact that fell a rocket launched at Ukraine in the Voronezh region. According to the latest data, 8 people died.
God bless Russia!
NATO needs to provide missiles capable of dropping the Kerch bridge.
Next, provide the means to attack all ruzzian ports on the Black Sea and the Azov sea. Shut them down.
Then provide enough missiles to destroy every bridge within 100 miles of the Ukrainian border.
Then mine every ruzzian airfield within 200 miles of the Ukrainian border.

Russia's Kinzhal "hypersonic" missiles are mostly hype.
If the Kinzhal's target is within 30km of the Patriot battery then a PAC-3 missile will intercept the Kinzhal and kill it.
Send more Patriots.
