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.

Conditions for the completion of the Northern Military District and the war with NATO. We learned what Putin “confidently” told Tucker Carlson
An American journalist confirmed our insider - Vladimir Vladimirovich wants negotiations on the Ukrainian crisis. At the same time, sources in the Kremlin told us what Putin told Carlson “in secret and off the record.”
“We talked about the conditions for completing the SVO. To be honest, I am not sure that these conditions will suit the Kiev regime and its Western curators. I hope the situation will become favorable for us, and the States will stop giving weapons to Ukraine this year. Otherwise, you will have to make concessions. Now, based on events at the front, we can do without concessions for now,” said one of our interlocutors.
What exactly were the conditions for completing the SVO that Putin conveyed to America through Carlson, he promised to tell later. Now “we cannot talk about this, since there will be many dissatisfied people - both in the West and among our patriots. And in general, let’s better tell you everything after the elections,” the source suggested.
Another claims that Carlson asked Putin several direct questions off camera: “One of them was about whether we can attack the Baltic states , that is, NATO countries. Vladimir Vladimirovich said that he would not like to, but it’s time to stop oppressing Russian speakers. He also confirmed that he was ready not to interfere with Trump’s dealings with Iran, but in exchange for a complete cessation of American assistance to Ukraine ( we wrote about this - ed.).”
Separately, Vladimir Vladimirovich noted that his words about Hitler and Poland, which were said in an interview, were not at all an excuse for a Nazi criminal. “It was just an example, an analogy. But Poland, after it helped Ukraine during the SVO, I think, should definitely be punished,” Putin explained to the journalist, who was surprised by the statement about Hitler.
We will learn more about what message Vladimir Vladimirovich conveyed to America, and we will tell you about it in the near future.
By the way, Carlson took Putin’s gift - a watch from a Ukrainian soldier liquidated in Mariupol - with him from Russia. Although, apparently, he didn’t like the gift too much, or rather scared him. The journalist is afraid to wear this watch and says that he “feels heavy energy in it.”

They never acknowledged the sinking of "Ivanovets" just 13 days ago.
After "Novocherkassk", which they did confirm was struck, this is the third Ropucha-class landing ship destroyed in less than 2 months.

The ship had been watched by NATO spy drones for a week while it was being loaded with supplies and ammo for Russian troops in occupied Kherson.
Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, February 13, 2024
The British International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) think tank stated on February 12 that Russia is likely able to sustain its current rate of vehicle losses for at least 2 to 3 years by producing new vehicles and reactivating vehicles from storage.
IISS estimated that Russia has lost over 3,000 armored fighting vehicles in 2023, and close to 8,000 armored fighting vehicles since February 2022.
IISS stated that Russia likely reactivated at least 1,180 main battle tanks and about 2,470 infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers pulled from storage in 2023.
IISS stated that Russia has 10 Central Tank Reserve Bases, at least 37 mixed equipment and armaments storage bases, and at least 12 artillery storage bases.
Ukrainian military analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko stated on February 11 that Russia’s reported tank production numbers in recent years largely reflect restored and modernized tanks drawn from storage rather than new production.

The Black Sea Fleet lost another large landing ship
Unfortunately, the information was confirmed. Last night, sea drones attacked the large landing ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Tsezar Kunikov. As a result of the attack, the ship was holed and sank off the southern coast of Crimea.
The main problem is that at the time of the attack the drones were not detected - neither on the approach to the landing craft, nor in the immediate vicinity. The night attack confirms that the Ukrainians are systematically knocking out ships of the Black Sea Fleet and improving their naval drones.
At this point, sources did not say what exactly was on board, but hinted that it could be about transporting equipment. Rumor has it that the Caesar Kunikov could transport tanks, but there is no reliable confirmation at this time. Navy sources refuse to comment on what is happening.
By 12:00, seven sailors were considered missing.

Tanks and personnel. We learned about the tragic losses as a result of the attack on the large landing ship “Caesar Kunikov”
According to our sources in the Black Sea Fleet and the General Staff, we lost tanks and people along with the large landing ship Caesar Kunikov .
According to updated data, the ship had six tanks - T-90 and T-72. Also lost were shells for tanks and artillery, which were transported to Crimea and should have been sent to the SVO zone.
According to sources, unfortunately, the bodies of 4 victims have been found. Another 12 crew members of the Caesar Kunikov are listed as missing.
We will clarify the details of this tragedy.

Very interesting.
Is Russia Really Using Zircon Hypersonic Cruise Missiles In Ukraine?
Hypersonic or not the Zircon is typical ruzzian junk. Not much information on the Zircon, but it is most likely inertial nav only with a CEP of 300 meters.

The crews of those large landing ships are probably aware by now, of the target painted on their backs.
Cezar Kunikov died February 14th 1943 - the same date as the ship was sunk.
“GLSDB missiles are already in use”
Looking forward to hearing more about this in the future…
This would have to affect the morale of the crews...especially if none of the Caesar Kunikov crew survived.
