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.

Lets all roll our eyes.
“Remarkable Ukrainian success over the last few months: grain sea exports are closing in on pre-war levels.”
Over 500 ships have now transited Ukraine’s new shipping corridor, since they re-established it in defiance of Moscow, after the Russian’s withdrew from the Black Sea Grain Deal, and threatened shipping.
Ukraine has driven the Russian Black Sea Fleet out of the area by force.
Russia's threat to international shipping has been brought under control. Now we just need to deal with their ally, the Houthis.
Obviously, you never listen to what the Russians actually say. You only listen to what the media masters tell you they said. I very much doubt that you ever went to a non western disinfo site that actually quoted Putin and the other Russians. They have said for decades that Ukraine would be very last domino standing and they will fight WWIII to ensure it does not become a jump off point for the greatest offensive behemoth in history to bring about NATO’s forced regime change in Moscow. After falling for NATO’s lies in the early 90s of “not one inch east of the German border”, twenty-odd eastern dominos have fallen. Putin absolutely assured everyone that Ukraine would be attacked and neutralized if NATO continued to massively arm their satrapy in order to carry out the West’s stated goal of “forced regime change in Moscow”. Don’t quote what you scarf down over at your media masters’ feeding trough to me. Just keep your mind on your duty and please don’t choke.
“Five capacity coalitions have emerged: ground-to-air defense, armor, air force, maritime security and, since Thursday, artillery. Alongside the United States, France, with its recognized industrial and operational expertise in this field, co-chairs the artillery coalition.”
THe “Capacity Coalition” model has already expanded even further, with Latvia heading a Drone Capacity Coalition (of, I believe, 14 nations).
Never failing to insult and be vulgar, well done.
Will not reciprocate in kind.
Well Putin got his war.
Stay warm

“Save the Kremlin talking points for the Putin apologists”
Yeah, right. Poor little delicate but warmongering globohomo/neocon apologist. Give me a break.
Ah Putin, did you lose another ship
Jelly bean?

A comeback is not valid if you have to post it on the second reply.😂
Why do you have no concerns for those nations that suffered under Soviet Communism? Why do you view everything only from the Russian point of view? How would YOU ensure that those nations are never threatened by Russia again?
You seem to forget that the Soviet Union was an evil empire. They were guilty of the Cold War. They needed to prove that they were a trustworthy partner. They were in no position to dictate their terms because their economy collapsed and they were almost starving.
It is you who doesn’t listen to what the Russians say. Former Russian President Medvedev has repeatedly said that the Baltic states and even Poland should become parts of the Russian empire again. If this isn’t imperialism I don’t know what it is.
OilPrice.com reports:
“The United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has taken its first oil price cap enforcement action of the year, according to a Thursday press release.
The enforcement action is against UAE-based shipping company Hennesea Holdings Limited (Hennesea) linked to a price cap violation. Hennesea is the ultimate owner of 18 vessels—all crude oil and chemical tankers—including the HS Atlantica, which OFAC has identified as having carried Russian crude oil that had been purchased above the $60 threshold—while being covered by a U.S.-based provider.
OFAC has alleged that Hennesea tankers have repeatedly conducted port calls in Russian Federation ports...
...Today’s actions designate all property and interests in property of Hennesea that are in the U.S. or in the possession or control of US persons as blocked, and must be reported to OFAC. Any entities that are owned directly or indirectly by 50% or more by Hennesea are also blocked. All transactions by U.S. persons or within the U.S. that involve any blocked property are prohibited unless exempt.”
(Fortunately for Russia this time, the heavily inbred Houthis were not able to hit the broad side of a barn, or even an oil tanker.)
Note how Houthi vessels travel in seemingly random directions, as passengers excitedly gesticulate:
"Houthi rebels mistakenly targeted a tanker from an undisclosed country on Jan. 12 that was carrying Russian oil through the Gulf of Aden, Reuters reported, citing the U.K.-based maritime security company Ambrey...
Reuters reported, citing sources from the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) organization, that Houthis had fired a missile at the ship, which landed in the water some distance away and caused no damage or casualties.
Several small boats also tailed the cargo ship, but no information was provided if a breaching or naval interception was attempted...
...Russia, which has close ties with the Houthi benefactors Iran, requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on the following day."

The House passed a short-term spending extension only hours after the bill cleared the Senate, pushing the next shutdown threat to March and surrendering Republican leverage on enacting a border security package.
“I believe France plans to send 50 per month in 2024.” (AASM or HAMMER, JDAM equivalents)
Wikipedia:
“The Armement Air-Sol Modulaire (Modular Air-to-Ground Armament), commonly called AASM or HAMMER (Highly Agile Modular Munition Extended Range), is a French, all-weather, smart air-to-surface stand off weapon developed by Safran Electronics & Defense. AASM comprises a frontal guidance kit and a rear-mounted range extension kit matched to a dumb bomb. Meant for close air support as well as deep strike missions, the weapon is modular. It can integrate different types of guidance units and different types of bombs.
The standard variant features a 250-kilogram (550 lb) bomb plus hybrid inertial navigation system (INS) / Global Positioning System (GPS) guidance. Other variants add infrared homing or laser guidance to increase accuracy; there are also variants with 125-kilogram (276 lb), 500-kilogram (1,100 lb) or 1,000-kilogram (2,200 lb) bomb bodies...
...A 125 kg model was first tested in 2009. The 1000 kg version finished testing in early 2023.
As for guidance, the basic version combines data from a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver and an inertial navigation system (INS) unit through Kalman filtering, achieving a 10 metres (32 ft 10 in) circular error probability (CEP). This “decametric” all-weather variant is complemented by a “metric” day/night fair weather version which adds infrared homing (IIR) guidance that matches the target area with a target model stored in its memory for a 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) CEP.
A third version uses laser guidance instead of IIR allowing it to hit moving targets with more precision. It was qualified in April 2013...
...Launches can also be made from an off-axis angle of up to 90°, while up to six weapons can be fired against individual targets in a single pass and with just one trigger press.”

You know the technology the Ukes have been using in the Black Sea? It works anywhere against any navy. Why do you think our trillion dollar navy is pussy footing around with a bunch of pirates shooting off a few $25,000 missiles and drones. At least the Russians aren’t saddled with an obsolete trillion dollar navy.
The Ukes suffered under the Soviet dictators almost as badly as the average Russian. You can say the same about all members of the former Warsaw Pact. Why do you have no sympathy for the Russians who had 25 million people slaughtered by Germany and six other of Hitler’s future NATO partners? When these same seven plus the U.S. and the other NATO members are attempting to park the largest offensive juggernaut in history on the Russian border, a days tank ride from Moscow, while screaming forced regime change in Moscow, yes, the Russians will react. You’d be a damned fool to not to take steps to counter the globohomo/neocon alliance in DC and Putin is no fool. He is a patriotic Russian who is fighting globalism. Unfortunately, we American patriots are very lonely as we try to counter the DC globalists and their hinterland neocon stooges.
Putin is not a patriotic Russian. He is a completely corrupt former KGB operative and a criminal. He has enriched himself and his pals at the expense of Russians. A patriotic Russian is Olga Smirnova.
Putin is a KGB thug. He is completely shaped by WWII. You might want to research the price his family paid when many of the same forces now gathering on his border blitzkrieged through the heart of Russia. The leaders of the offensive behemoth sitting on his border are virulently anti Russian and rant about forced regime change in Moscow. Putin knows to take these DC warmongers at their threats. I do too. Putin, to date, has shown much restraint. After misjudging initially, the Russian military has been coming up Aces for well over a year. Putin is well on his way to having a successful special operation which halts the NATO (globalist thug) juggernaut. If we choose to wildly escalate, Putin will bring to bear all the ruthlessness he has developed over his KGB career to protect Mother Russia. That’s because he is a Russian patriot. Unfortunately, when our republic fell to the Obama/Soros globalists, only one patriotic American, DJT, tried to stop them. We are living in their woke, pervo police state. Putin will not let that happen in Russia.
