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.

Kyiv Post reports:

“Germany and Ukraine could sign a bilateral security agreement as early as this month, according to reports...

...sources in Berlin suggested it could be ready to be signed on Feb. 16 during the Munich Security Conference.

It would follow the first of such agreements signed between the UK and Ukraine last month and is part of a such deals designed to support Ukraine in the fight against Russia until it joins NATO.

Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, Olha Stefanishyna, said the guarantees include required reforms in Ukraine, financial assistance for several years, military-industrial cooperation, and sustainable military support from Germany, Ukrinform reports.”

Kyiv Independent reports:

“Canada and Ukraine are in the final stages of negotiating a bilateral security agreement and could reach a deal within weeks, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly told CBC News on Feb. 4...

...”I’m here to push to get it to the finish line, I think we can conclude it in the coming weeks,” Joly said.

Germany and France are also reportedly weeks away from finalizing their own bilateral security agreements with Ukraine. The U.K. finalized such a deal during U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s visit to Kyiv on Jan. 12...

...”We know that even one day when the war ends, and until Ukraine is in NATO, we need to make sure that Ukraine is strong and has enough of a security and a deterrence force to make sure that it is able to deter Russia from rearming and re-invading,” Joly said...

...Canada is one of Ukraine’s major supporters and provided $1.8 billion to Ukraine’s state budget in 2023. Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ottawa has given nearly $2 billion in military aid to Ukraine, while combined aid covering humanitarian and financial support, exceeds $7.5 billion.”

Putin goes to Turkey on 12 February.

Kyiv Independent reports:

“Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin will discuss a new mechanism for exporting Ukrainian grain via the Black Sea during Putin’s upcoming visit to Turkey, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said in a television interview Feb. 4, as reported by Reuters.

Russian media on Jan. 29 announced Putin’s plans to visit Turkey in February. The visit, set for Feb. 12, marks Putin’s first trip to a NATO country since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Fidan told A Haber television that the leaders will discuss “new methods” of shipping Ukrainian grain products following Moscow’s withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Initiative in July 2023...

...Putin’s international visits have been curtailed since the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant in March 2023 for his role in the deportations of Ukrainian children. Turkey is not party to the ICC’s Rome Statute, meaning it is under no obligation to detain Putin.”

British military takes out moving drone with a laser

The DragonFire anti-drone weapons system is meant to be a vastly cheaper alternative to using missiles.

https://taskandpurpose.com/tech-tactics/dragonfire-laser-british-military-anti-drone-swarm/ BY NICHOLAS SLAYTON | PUBLISHED JAN 20, 2024

"The British Ministry of Defense announced the successful firing of the (DragonFire) directed-energy weapon system on Friday, Jan. 19. The DragonFire system took out an aerial drone while it was in flight, the first time it had done so.

An image shared by the British MOD even gives a striking look at DragonFire in action, with a bright beam of light taking out the drone. It looks less like Star Wars or Star Trek and more like an actual beam of fire.

The British military is pursuing this project as an effective and cost-efficient way to counter the growing threat of drones and drone swarms. The exact range of DragonFire has not been announced, but according to the British MOD it can hit a coin a kilometer away and function as a line-of-sight weapon. More importantly, it’s cheap. Much cheaper than any missile that would currently be used. According to developers, the operation cost is “typically less than £10 per shot...

...The DragonFire project was publicly announced in 2017, but it’s taken years of tests and experiments to reach this achievement.”

Good Morning All...2/5/2024.

HIMARS strike on hospitality venue "Adriatika" in occupied Lysychansk in Luhansk Oblast on 3 February "destroyed dozens of "LPR" officials, including emergency services Minister Aleksey Potelshenko, public prosecutors, policemen, local deputies and defectors".

According to Russian sources, the strike was adjusted by someone present at the venue or nearby, knowing the positions of the attendees.

The information about the strike emerged on Russian news channels with the context that it was a random civilian bakery that was attacked. Official news present this as a strike against civilians, however, leaks from smaller Russian channels reveal that it was a congregation of big local names that was targeted. A birthday party was being held there. However, it is claimed that some civilians, perhaps relatives of the officials, were also casualties of this strike.

There are names of the targets floating about but these are not confirmed. Ukraine did not take responsibility for this strike. Claims that HIMARS missiles were used come from the Russian side.

The T-90M «Breakthrough» tank was seriously damaged and abandoned by Russians somewhere in the frontline.

This tank is considered the most modern and most expensive Russian tank. Its value is about ~2.5 million dollars.

But I saw the post from world claiming 100% poor bakers killed by Nazi ukranians…..

For a group that is pretty good at info wars, they can be pretty inept at times like claiming 60+ POWs killed in plane attack, but no bodies, plane was flying away from Belorus……

Now baby milk factory er ah bakery attacked

Sorry to repeat myself, but if you all have not watched season 2 of jack Ryan, it is fascinating
Is it art imitating like or life imitating art?

Could imagine Putin watching this and being crushed at the ending

[blitz128]

Shooing down cruise missiles and ballistic missiles was considered impossible not that long ago.

A system like this would be very useful.

Remember reading that the Gerald ford carrier has something like 3 times the electrical generating capacity it needs at this time

Humm

Seems grain is flowing quite nicely with black fleet either bottled up or becoming artificial reefs.

You have no bargaining chip vlad.

Here is a thought stop target grain infrastructure in Odessa.

No need for a meeting to do that

Zelensky may very well be corrupt, but he doesn’t hold a candle to Putin
That’s just funny(I’m a very not funny way).

Perhaps the missiles with a range of 300-500 kilometers are the AGM-158 JASSM cruise missiles.
