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.

“Erdoğan- Turkey will be taking over Rooski (former) bases in Syria”
He wants the former Russian bases on Crimea as well.
As Russia continues to weaken, the feeding frenzy on its Imperial carcass will likely accelerate, until China can resist no longer, a la Molotov-Ribbentrop.
All because of Putin, the Doom of Russia.
Pirate Preston Pernicious Putin Packer is obscure here. Same as elephants don’t notice the fleas on their backs.
No, they are investments in US bonds and T-bills. The prescient this would cause would be that *any* foreign investor would think twice before parking their money with US in fear of sanctions with eventual confiscation. It's dopey and nothing more than a common theft.
Now Hush up and Obey the Interaction Rules
"In 1774, the Ottoman Empire was defeated by Catherine the Great." ......The Ottomans and other Muslims controlled Crimea. They want it back. China being in population decline. Do they have enough Chinese willing to settle in very cold Siberia? If PLA invades Siberia, Rooski will use nukes on them, right at the Russia-China border.
I really like how building the 2nd Power of Siberia gas pipeline to China, is getting stalled out, endlessly.
Do they have enough Chinese willing to settle in very cold Siberia?

Latest information on the situation in the Kursk region
An attempt by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to break through from Sudzha in the direction of the village of Bolshoye Soldatskoye in the Kursk region was contained. There were some problems at first, but overall the offensive attempt was stopped, our sources say.
The enemy suffered losses, and, unfortunately, we have them too. In general, interlocutors are now inclined to believe that this was a diversionary maneuver. To pin down our best units and prevent them from being used in other sectors of the front.
At the same time, sources note that the main reserves were not thrown into battle. Therefore, active actions are expected in other areas, including the Bryansk region
“Willingness is not relavant. The Chinese want the vast untilled farm lands just across the border.”
The Chinese should be able to take (annex) these close by lands by stealth migration. Many Chinese live there now. But I thought they wanted the oil and gas and minerals in Siberia.
I am under advisement.

Belousov is dissatisfied with the work of Rostec(1)
The Minister of Defense is categorically dissatisfied with the quality and pace of Rostec’s work. He prepared a list of claims and handed it directly to Sergei Chemezov with a note that the same comments and wishes were submitted to the President.
The main reasons for dissatisfaction are the speed of decision-making and the slow introduction of technology into our defense industry.
“We see that innovation is often the result of work on the ground, but not the system. Rostec receives enormous funds, but the quality of their work leaves much to be desired,” said one of the Defense Ministry officials close to Belousov.
Politically, this is a serious challenge - Chemezov has strong positions that have not been shaken even after that very article on Kommersant. At the same time, Belousov, accepting the post of Minister of Defense, received complete carte blanche from the president. No one, of course, expected that he would express his complaints to Chemezov “head-on” like this.

“I can say with confidence that the blame for the fact that Azerbaijani citizens died in this disaster lies with the representatives of the Russian Federation. And we demand justice, we demand punishment for those responsible, we demand complete transparency and humane behavior.
Attempts to conceal the circumstances of the incident and present it as the result of a collision with ‘birds’ or a ‘gas cylinder’ have raised serious doubts about the objectivity of the investigation.”

“Do they have enough Chinese willing to settle in very cold Siberia?”
They have a youth unemployment problem, and a lot of Government power to coerce or incentivize such re-settlement. They have a long history of such deliberate demographic packing of Han Chinese to exert political and economic control into conquered areas, including in recent decades, into The Muslim areas of XinXiang (formerly East Turkmenistan), and Buddhist Tibet. It is a characteristic Chinese imperial strategy, accompanied by harshly enforced cultural assimilation.
China may be delaying the funding of the Power of Siberia 2 Pipeline, simply because they can easily see that their leverage to drive a rapacious deal is likely to increase sharply, as Russia becomes more economically desperate through 2025 - just waiting for the fire sale.
Even if they eventually agree to the funding, the planned operational date of 2030 has already slipped further out.

Aliyev continues to put pressure on the Kremlin over the Azerbaijan Airlines crash. What do the AP think about this?
Ilham Aliyev publicly stated that the blame for the death of Azerbaijani citizens due to the crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines plane in Kazakhstan lies with “representatives of the Russian Federation.” 38 people became victims of the disaster, 29 people miraculously survived.
In his statement, Aliyev emphasized that Grozny did not close the airspace in a timely manner, which led to the tragedy. Our sources directly called these words an act of pressure on the Presidential Administration in order to bring Ramzan Kadyrov to justice. Kadyrov himself does not consider himself guilty.
“Aliyev thinks too much of himself. He understands that Erdogan is behind him. And he takes advantage of this! They told us directly - remove Kadyrov and then we can continue the dialogue - what is this if not interference in the internal affairs of the Russian Federation?” he told us. source in the Kremlin.
According to another interlocutor in the AP, the Azerbaijan Airlines accident would not have been something important for us, but it happened at the very wrong time [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/5105 ]. Those around the President were dissatisfied with the tone of Aliyev’s statements and gave him several opaque hints on this matter.
“The Chinese should be able to take (annex) these close by lands by stealth migration.”
The old joke is that the Chinese have three invasion plans for Siberia - the large scale plan, the mid-sized plan, and the small scale plan, where they would gradually infiltrate many small groups, of just a few million each.
If you look at the border closely, you will learn that the Chinese side is heavily farmed ( many of the framers are ethnic Russians ). They can just walk over the low barbed wire fence, if they wanted to.
One of the tours that C-Milk and SerpentZ went on if that area shows all of this clearly.
