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.”

You’re sick.
You relish in death and destruction.
That war is a done deal and it’d over. Get over it.
The only winners are the people like Zelensky and others lining their pockets and the Military Industrial Complex.
Why do you hate US so much that you side with the KGB man Putin?
You sound like a Globalist and that kind of remark does not merit a response. Utter BS!
Love for USA is Globalist?
But you are not an American Citizen, are you?
You sound like a coward who can’t back up his Putin Stoogeness.
I don’t respond to Useful Idiots.
Enough.
La Plata is the capital city of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.
Be honest, Putin Stooge. You Hate America.

01/19 - Breaking: Israeli forces may have discovered a new tunnel city, running from Gaza under Israel to the West Bank; this from captured documents and allegations. No official details or confirmation. Yet.
IDF troops have mounted a major operation against Hamas terrorists in the West Bank planning to attack Israeli check points. The IAF bombed the Hamas gathering point and eliminated or captured over 100 Hamas fighters, and demilitarized the Hamas leader, causing other Hamas fighters to surrender.

Artemis is so far behind schedule that it is endanger of cancellation, ceding the Moon to China. Congress is aware of the China problem, but there is great concern that Artemis will not get a manned mission to the Moon before the Chinese get there in 2030
China aims to become the dominant space power by 2045. Congress has serious doubts that Artemis is the way to beat them.
NASA employees testified favorably (as expected), while industry executives were very critical. Most of the criticism centered around the time line’s lack of transparency and the costs, since NASA has no plan for either.
Mike Griffin former NASA administrator, said he is not optimistic.
“In my judgement the Artemis program is excessively complex, unrealistically priced, compromises crew safety, poses a high mission risk of completion, and is highly unlikely to be completed in a timely manner, even if successful for the United States and its partners not to be on the Moon when others are, is unacceptable.
“We need a program which is consistent with that theme; Artemis is not that program. We need to restart it, not keep it on track.”
The SpaceX Lunar Starship entails 11 launches of complex super rockets just to get 2 people to the Moon. To the Moon, not on it. The Artemis program envisions first orbiting the Moon in a specially built station. (The Chinese are going to land on the Moon much like Apollo did with their Long March 10.)
Neither SpaceX nor Blue Moon have a descent escape system. If anything goes wrong on descent, the people die.
There are ways to fix all of these problems.

Russia is conducting an information operation to misrepresent NATO’s defensive “Steadfast Defender 2024” exercises – a response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and Russian threats directed towards NATO members - as provocative.

“As promised I’m posting the video about the Moscovian failed assault around Invanivske (Bakhmut)
“The assault was repelled and many Ukrainian lives and lives of my friends were saved, and I can say that it happened thanks to you.
“Ukrainian troops have to conserve the ammo and even VOG17 (automatic grenade launcher ammo used as droplets from drones) is scarce. However, because of our support, the troops have drones and make one round as effective as 20 before.
“The successful defense is also was also made possible by skilled drone operators and coordination between them, at timestamp 2:05 on this video, you can see an effective use of drone pairs. Two pilots wait for the infantry to dismount the IFV and coordinate drops to ensure devastating effect on Moscovian troops.”
