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.

UKF forward deployed Patriots to cover the withdrawal from Avdiivka
In a display of ruzzian stupidity, they tried to launch FAB glide bombs on the new Ukrainian front lines, flying 10km further west & into range of the Patriots.
It only took 6 lost fighter aircraft for ruzzia to learn their mistake.

The very skilled drone operators sent in several drones and eliminated several MBTs, IFVs, trucks and more. In the end, the fire set the entire warehouse ablaze and destroyed whatever was left.

I find it interesting that the drones had video inside the building.
It's possible that Ukraine has a repeater on the observation drone.

Gerasimov secretly called the NATO commander. Apologized and talked about nuclear war
A secret telephone conversation between Valery Gerasimov and the Commander of NATO Allied Forces in Europe, Christopher Cavoli, took place on the initiative of the Chief of our General Staff.
The reason for the call was this post by Dmitry Medvedev, in which he threatened strikes against Berlin, London and Washington, directly hinting at a nuclear war.
According to our sources in the General Staff, Gerasimov “behaved like a responsible person and decided to call Cavoli in order to prevent unnecessary aggravation of relations with the West and possible attacks on strategic targets on Russian territory.”
“Valery Vasilyevich contacted Cavoli himself. He apologized for the thoughtless statements of some of our politicians and said that no one here wants a nuclear war, therefore it should not be allowed.
“He asserted that, despite the unconstructive behavior of the West regarding the supply of weapons to Ukraine, Russia does not seek direct confrontation with NATO. And she hopes that she will never have to shoot at Berlin,” a general close to the head of the General Staff told us.
Cavoli, he said, was surprised by the call. But he agreed with Gerasimov that under no circumstances should nuclear war or attacks on Moscow or Western capitals be allowed.
The parties agreed to maintain constant contacts.
At the same time, when asked whether this conversation removed the threat of our military clash with NATO, including a sudden one, all sources found it difficult to answer.
Yup, the daily “Attack On Europe:” propaganda shall not be missed. Now if only UMCRevNut would go away.

Swede in!
(AP) — “A vote in Hungary’s parliament on ratifying Sweden’s bid to join NATO could come as early as Monday(26 Feb), according to a senior member of the country’s governing Fidesz party...
In a letter on Tuesday (20 Feb) to the speaker of the parliament, the head of the Fidesz caucus, Máté Kocsis, requested that a vote be scheduled for the opening day of the spring session, which begins on Monday.
Kocsis wrote that Fidesz, which has repeatedly blocked a vote on the matter, will opt to support Sweden’s bid to join the trans-Atlantic military alliance...
...(Orban’s) government has insisted that Sweden’s Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson, make a visit to Budapest to assuage concerns that Swedish politicians had spoken disrespectfully about the health of Hungary’s democracy.
But in a state of the nation speech in Budapest on Saturday, Orbán indicated that Hungary’s legislature might soon relent.
“It’s good news that our dispute with Sweden is nearing a conclusion,” he said. “We are moving towards ratifying Sweden’s accession to NATO at the beginning of the spring session of Parliament.”
Orbán’s press chief announced that Kristersson will visit Budapest on Friday (23 Feb) for discussions on defense and security cooperation, adding that the results of the meeting will be announced in a news conference.
Oryx report 02/20/24:

Orban is desperate for relevance, and it looks like Kristersson will be the bigger man and give him a fig leaf. Note that at no time has Sweden played the Gripen card, which would leave Hungarian air force without a fighter jet. At least not publicly.
It strains belief that Russia's IADS is so poorly configured, organized and manned that they continuously shoot down their own aircraft so far behind enemy lines. If they do this in nearly uncontested airspace, imagine what would happen with enemy aircraft, stealth fighters, decoys, massive EW, and SEAD/DEAD missions.
Of course, the alternative is also bad. The ability of their most modern aircraft to defeat western air defense systems is critical to foreign sales, and foreign sales are critical to domestic production funding. The SU-30/34/35 are all marketed/sold with a tailored version of Russia's newest "Khibiny" EW system that claims to be able to defeat everything the west has, and specifically, Patriot. But Mil-Aviation experts mostly dismiss the system as outdated and ineffective against modern systems like Patriot, AMRAAM, IRIS-T, etc.

Excellent work by UKR target intel.
Without a doubt, the ruzzian pilots are not receiving launch indications either on-board or off-board.
Also, I believe the "actual" Patriot max range is significantly longer than the "published" max range.

Two new taxes may be introduced in Russia: when and who will pay?
According to our sources in the Federal Tax Service and the Ministry of Finance, new taxes in our country may be introduced at the end of spring and summer.
Firstly, this is a tax on childlessness, which Alexander Dugin proposed to Vladimir Putin to introduce.
Its rules and mechanisms are currently being developed. According to preliminary data, if such a tax is introduced, it will have to be paid by childless citizens aged 25 to 47 years. The tax amount can be up to 5 to 12% of income. The rest of the details are still in progress.
Secondly, the President was asked to return to the idea of introducing a “tax on SVO.” It has already been developed ( below ), it was already planned to be introduced several times, but was postponed each time ( the last time in connection with the elections ). This tax, if nothing changes, will be paid by all citizens.

The tax rates for SVO , which will be introduced in Russia, have been approved.
According to our source in the government, they decided to make the tax rate different for different categories of the population.
Large businesses will pay the most ( we wrote that taxes are already being taken from them, as the authorities have directly stated), the tax rate for them will be at least 15% of income.
Now representatives of large companies are negotiating to reduce the rate to 10% per month of income, but the authorities are also considering the option of paying 20%.
Pensioners will pay 4% of their pensions, state employees - 6%, individual entrepreneurs - 7%. These rates will definitely not be revised.
As for the dates of introduction of the tax, the situation here is the same as with the freezing of bank deposits ( we gave inside information about this ). If Vladimir Putin, in his message to the Federal Assembly on February 21, comes out with a sharp position on the SVO, and the whole country begins to actively switch to a war footing, then the tax will be introduced in March.
If not, the date will be discussed by the authorities. At the same time, large businesses will definitely have to pay now.

Shoigu insulted the memory of the fallen soldiers and admitted that he would not fulfill Putin’s task of liberating the DPR
After Sergei Shoigu said that the operation to capture Avdiivka was carried out “with minimal losses,” several military men who took part in the liberation of the city contacted us. They are outraged and offended by this statement by the minister.
“It’s easy for Shoigu to say, he did not go on the offensive over the corpses of his friends. In the literal sense of the word. When will it be removed? I don’t have the strength to tolerate this bastard,” an officer who was directly involved in the assault on the city told us.
Another is sure: the Minister of Defense insulted all the soldiers who died near Avdiivka and in the city itself. “How does the earth even carry him? We had huge losses, we heroically took the city.
“Why is our heroism multiplied by zero? In general, I think that we are talking about thousands of losses. Let Shoigu apologize or leave. It’s a pity that Prigozhin is not here, he would have already thrown this liar out of his chair.
“To lie like that, and to Vladimir Vladimirovich’s face …” the military man, who was wounded during the assault on Avdiivka, was indignant.
In light of this, we note: we did not want to publish the figures of our losses incurred during the liberation of Avdiivka. But at the request of the military, who demand that the truth not be hidden, we will show some of them. So here it is.
Only since the beginning of 2024 (according to verified sources in the General Staff), our losses near Avdiivka and in the city itself amounted to more than 21,000 people [edit: 7,000 dead min ].
We do not specifically say what percentage of this figure are dead. We still don’t want to please the enemy. At the same time, we promise to name more numbers if Shoigu does not apologize to the military for his words about “minimal losses.”
By the way, during his report to Vladimir Vladimirovich, the minister, off the record, called the president’s desire to liberate the entire territory of the DPR by March 10-15 unrealistic.
Putin responded by saying to think about how such a task could be accomplished. And he publicly made it clear that Avdiivka is good, but new victories are needed.
According to our source in the Ministry of Defense, Shoigu was puzzled, but did not argue with the President.

Serious lack of discipline for these guys to be posting these images. I can only assume they are somehow paid for such content and “first rat gets the cheese”. Some of these would be identifiable by friends and family.
