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.

According to insiders, the head of the Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, appointed a special commission to assess the consequences of such a step.
We once said that everyone will pay for putin's adventure with war in one way or another. Well, here it is, in fact.

Shandong, a center of independent refiners, imported 1.74 million barrels per day of oil from sanctioned countries such as Iran, Russia and Venezuela - 17% of China's total imports in 2024.
It could also weaken Russia's political and economic influence in this key region.

China is getting ready for President Trump.
I see an interesting photo to the left of the Yamal map. You can tell this hole is quite large from the size of the people standing upper right in photo. Is this one of those exploded sinkholes caused by melting methane ice exploding from underground? A number of such explosions and large holes have been reported in Siberia as Global Warming continues to not be happening. The serious construction problems in the high Arctic caused by melting permafrost, also unrelated to Global Warming, will be an ever increasing problem for all Arctic construction.
I wonder how many of Yamal’s Nenets people have been sent off to Putin’s meat waves, or if they have been reserved for the joys of high Arctic construction work? Imagine the fun of building where the ground might explode under you without warning, while your home is gradually sinking into the thawing not so permanent permafrost.
Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, January 7, 2025
The Ukrainian General Staff stated that Ukrainian forces struck a command post of the Russian 810th Naval Infantry Brigade (Black Sea Fleet [BSF], Southern Military District [SMD]) in Belaya, Kursk Oblast on January 7.[19] The Ukrainian General Staff did not report if the strike killed or wounded Russian personnel. Ukrainian forces previously conducted a strike, reportedly with HIMARS, against a different 810th Naval Infantry Brigade command post near Lgov, Kursk Oblast on December 25, killing the brigade’s deputy commander and other staff officers.[20]

The Kremlin leader likely welcomes Kadyrov’s expansion of his training network, but there may be a downside. The Chechen leader may be creating an alliance that could be used against the Kremlin in the case of a weakening at the center. At the very least, Kadyrov by this action reduces the ability of the center to rein him in.
That Kadyrov may have such larger goals in mind is suggested by the fact that he now has a special representation office in Murmansk. Headed by Aslambek Asayev, it “closely cooperates with representatives of the security services” and “regularly meets with regional Governor Andrei Chibis,” Staalesen says.

An important oil storage facility came under attack in the Saratov region
Last night, enemy drones attacked Engels in the Saratov region [ https://t.me/astrapress/71912 ]. As a result of the impact, several tanks with aviation fuel, which were located at the Kristall plant (part of Rosrezerv), caught fire.
Sources say at least two drones failed to be shot down and hit targets at the plant. Officially, all our drones were still shot down, and “debris fell on the oil depot” [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/5123 ].
At this point the fire continues. It is worth noting that the Rosrezerv oil depot provided fuel to the Engels-2 airfield, where strategic aircraft are also located. It is amazing that an object of such importance is not fully protected from enemy attacks.
The military notes off the record that there was even a threat of destruction of the Tu-95MS launch vehicles. “We were lucky that ( the drones - Ed. ) did not reach the airfield. The airfield is less than 10 kilometers away in a straight line,” says our interlocutor.
In Russia, they have proposed executing opponents of mobilization and those who interfere with the fight for the birth rate.
In a comment to our channel, philosopher Alexander Dugin clarified his position, which has shocked many, that Russia needs show trials, executions and bloodshed when establishing internal order. “I really do advocate mass executions, because we have a lot of internal enemies. These are officials, current and former, those who rose to power under Yeltsin and now continue to drink Russian blood. These are the same businessmen, artists, singers, even some of the military. Without a great purge, Russia is doomed to death,” believes Alexander Gelyevich.
He clarified that special attention during the purges should be paid to those who oppose “the fundamental tasks of our time.” In particular, against total mobilization (Dugin has long called for it, which has made him enough enemies ) and “the same total struggle to increase the birth rate .” The philosopher also demands punishment for all those who “insult True Orthodoxy and oppose the main religion for Russia.” Dugin added that “he has been frequently threatened with murder in recent days.” And he assured that he is “ready to die for a just cause. And he will even be glad if after his death a series of executions of true enemies of the people begins.”
It should be noted that the Kremlin does not want to comment on the philosopher's statements. “Vladimir Vladimirovich is interested in the opinion of Alexander Gelyevich from time to time, but I think not that much,” a high-ranking source in the Presidential Administration told us.

The Black Sea will not be calm
Here, colleagues noticed [ https://t.me/rusich_army/19940 ]that Turkey began construction of three ships at once - the MILDEN submarine, the MUGEM aircraft carrier, and the TF-2000 destroyer.
“It is quite obvious that this is a challenge not only to Russia, but also to NATO countries. With such a grandiose construction project for our Navy, Erdogan is showing our ambitions and desire to fight for the Black Sea, and maybe even beyond its borders,” the author of the post noted.
We are forced to agree and note several important details. The Black Sea is certainly in the sphere of interests of many states. In particular, due to its convenient geographical location.
The situation in the Black Sea began to change after the annexation of Crimea to Russia. A lot of weapons were transferred to the peninsula, and the fleet was seriously strengthened. With the beginning of the SVO, everything changed again. The very approach to the use of the fleet and control over the sea has changed. Drones have begun to play a significant role [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/3708 ].
In this regard, it is worth noting that not only Turkey and Russia, but also Ukraine have an interest in the Black Sea. Erdogan, by the way, is building two Ada-class corvettes for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which should not be forgotten.
NATO members Romania and Bulgaria will also be a significant factor. Looking to the future, we need right now to preserve those fleet combat units that we managed to protect from enemy attacks. Take them to Novorossiysk or even further [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/3077 ].
Pay attention to maritime drones and the fight against them. And, of course, think about the future - invest in new ships that will protect Russia’s interests not only in the Black Sea, but throughout the world!
