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.

In Crimea they tried to detain the saboteurs who poisoned more than 40 of our military personnel. The criminals killed FSB officers and fled
According to sources in the FSB and the police, two young saboteurs, who previously poisoned our military in Simferopol and Bakhchisarai , were found in one of the private houses of Yalta. The suspects in the death of 46 fighters resisted; unfortunately, it was not possible to detain them.
It all happened a few days ago. The police received a signal that two girls, whose characteristics almost completely coincided with those of the wanted saboteurs, were found in one of the private houses in Yalta. The information was transferred to the FSB, and special forces were sent to detain the suspects.
“The saboteurs turned out to be well armed and (we did not expect this!) Well prepared. Plus, someone could have warned them about our visit. As soon as the special forces arrived to arrest them, they opened fire on them.
From pistols and automatic weapons. We only managed to fire a few shots in response. The criminals fled the scene in a car. They abandoned the car on the outskirts of Yalta. We don’t know where the saboteurs are now,” a source in the FSB told us.
As a result of the shooting, three FSB officers were killed. Two more were wounded, one of them seriously.
It is possible that one of the criminals was also wounded, but it is unlikely that the wound was serious (she fled the scene of the shooting on her own). The search for the saboteurs continues.
To avoid new poisonings, military personnel stationed in Crimea were asked not only not to take food or any drinks from strangers. They are asked to detain any suspicious young women who try to treat them to something or simply talk to the military personnel.
If it is not possible to detain, then at a minimum it is necessary to report such suspicious female persons to the police or the FSB, our interlocutors say.
lol stand corrected, how about relatively cheap as say compared to a javelin, Excalibur or himars
The explosions, when the drone hits the ammo compartment, are spectacular.

The commander of the Russian Airborne Forces, General Mikhail Teplinsky, is very influential and popular among the Russian military.
Recently, the Russian media have resumed a campaign to discredit him.
After Prigozhin's mutiny and his confrontation with Shoigu and Gerasimov, Teplinsky was put under surveillance because of his ambiguous behavior. He could not be removed immediately like Surovikin because he was popular with the troops. So they decided to get rid of him gradually, first of all by destroying his image and support from the army, especially in the Air Forces.
Some sources claim that, for this purpose, a special group was created from among the officers of information counteraction of the Russian Armed Forces. They established a network of channels and groups on social media that create and distribute materials aimed at discrediting Teplinsky.
Teplinsky was also assigned to one of the potentially most difficult areas of the war. At the end of October, he became the head of the Dnepr group of troops, whose area of responsibility includes the occupied Kherson region and part of Zaporizhzhia.
Teplinsky has great ambitions, and he is unsuccessfully trying to eliminate our Ukrainian stronghold at any cost. That is why the Russians are suffering huge losses in equipment and personnel, especially in airborne units. Of course, this hurts Teplinsky's reputation, as previously it was believed that he valued the lives of Russian soldiers above all else.
Also, the Russian web pages discuss the subject of the general having two families. In addition, mental health issues are often mentioned, which allegedly also raises questions.
By the way, today he turned 55 years old. And there are no official congratulations, which may also indicate disgrace.

I wonder who controls ruzzian media.
They’re America Last who delusionally dream of our children being ruled by the CCP and their Anti American allies in Russia and Iran. More than happy to screw Americans in Texas with good new jobs exporting energy to Europe and Americans in Arkansas, etc., with good defense sector export jobs.
Just lucky debris falling on oil facilities, were among for schools /s
«The systems have proven highly effective – with a successful hit rate reported as high as 90% against some Russian air targets.»
In summer 2022, a joint MoD-MBDA team developed air defence systems to fire ASRAAM from the ground for the first time. Within four months of initiating the surface launched ASRAAM project, these air defence systems were developed, manufactured, trialled and Ukrainian crews trained on their usage, on UK soil, before being transferred into Ukrainian hands.

The Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missile (ASRAAM), also known as an AIM-132, is an imaging infrared homing air-to-air missile, produced by MBDA UK, that is designed for close-range combat.
These would be highly effective against the iranian drones.
Good analysis by the professor

It is good when the Minister of Defense knows about the shortcomings in the army and talks about them.
“Russia will continue to increase the combat capabilities of its armed forces,” said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
“Our immediate plans include improving the operation of the communications system, increasing the efficiency of using modern means of reconnaissance, target designation and counter-battery warfare, as well as the capabilities of air defense and satellite constellation,” the minister said at a conference call with the leadership of the Russian Armed Forces on Tuesday.
"Over the past year, enemy losses exceeded 215 thousand people and 28 thousand weapons."
“The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation will form a serial line of all types of drones - from ultra-small to heavy attack ones” - Shoigu.
“We maintain the strategic initiative along the entire line of combat contact” - Shoigu.

2 High ranking ruzzian officials were missing.
Are those kazan and cranked 😂
More smoking accidents
Russian strategic bombers are being re-armed with cruise missiles at their bases right now. Expect another mass attack on Ukraine in the next couple of days. Another revenge attack for killing Gerasimov?

“Finnish MEP Petri Sarvamaa has initiated a petition to revoke Hungary’s voting rights in the European Council.
“EU’s decision-making machinery is stuck because of Orbán. The only way to make it work is to deprive Orbán of his right to vote,” hesaid.”

I think that Gerasimov is either dead or severely wounded in a Moscow hospital.
Launching massive (for ruzzia) cruise missile attacks could be in retaliation.
NATO, including the U.S., needs to donate more air defense systems, including Patriots, NASAMs, IRIS-Ts, HAWKs, Flakpanzer Gepards and anything else that can shoot down missiles and drones.
As I understand US has around 50 and Germany 15
Send 5 more to Ukraine and if needed keep 5 Ukraine has ordered
Personally I would like to see 15 sent as a minimum another 300 abrams and 1000 Bradleys
