Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine (2 year anniversary)

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.

Tell the next generation that this is the man who singlehandedly fought NATO (30 countries) and won! Russia was never going lose, we said this from Day 1. 😊👍🏼

He fought through Western propaganda, lies, '1 million EU/US sanctions', economic sabotage, terrorism, USAID, CIA, MI6… pic.twitter.com/rEEer0al1C— Evaluator. (@_AfricanSoil) February 12, 2025

He fought through Western propaganda, lies, '1 million EU/US sanctions', economic sabotage, terrorism, USAID, CIA, MI6 and still defeated them!

BOOM! 💥

Keep gloating 🍈

And here comes our daily dose of ignorance from the Low IQ one

“ He fought through Western propaganda, lies, ‘1 million EU/US sanctions’, economic sabotage, terrorism, USAID, CIA, MI6 and still defeated them!”

This is victory for 🍈, lol

My dear 🍈it ain’t over yet, if you think it is your “super genius “ status is in jeopardy 😂

Keep firing the memes, putin appreciates it😎

[Monterrosa-24]

Ukraine fought not only against Russia but against its proud allies: North Korea and Iran. Slow walker Biden dribbled in some aid with restrictions but that does not equal fighting against the USA and NATO. Ukrainian troops are fighting alone with the exception of relatively small numbers of Republic of Georgia volunteers and other international volunteers who do not make up one percent of Ukraine’s troop strength.

So, you are cheerleading now because you actually believe Putin has defeated America and NATO. You are one delusional Bolshevik. And why are you claiming that Russia fought against EU/US sanctions? Earlier you goof balls were saying that the sanctions only hurt the West.

Tell us again how proud you are to have Hamas, Iran, and North Korea for allies.

[JonPreston]

Was Biden's Ukraine policy better for Zelensky or America?

Yes simple answer will do.

The first Drone to answer gets a free HAPPY melon

[blitz128]

Interesting take, and what have the 250(110)
Brigades accomplished facing Ukraine?

Besides ridding Russia of its “vaunted “ Soviet legacy reserves, its “modern “ equipment stocks, hundreds of thousands of Russian men killed and wounded, severely damaged infrastructure, and “liberated “ territories they can’t afford to rebuild, they have won???

The pain for russia isn’t over

[blitz128]

Yummy

My dear 🍈it ain’t over yet

blitz128 doing his best impression

Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda, the last Japanese soldier, surrenders in 1974

No HAPPY melon for you!

The thing about Russian verses Western brigades is the the Western ones are fully mechanized while the Russian ones are resorting to civilian vehicles, dune buggies, mules, horses, and donkeys.

🚨🇺🇸TRUMP: UKRAINE IN NATO "NOT PRACTICAL," UNLIKELY TO REGAIN ALL LAND

Trump said Ukraine joining NATO is "not practical" and suggested it is unlikely to recover all of its lost territory.

In calls with Putin and Zelensky, Trump took his first major step toward diplomacy,… https://t.co/EPNSJiEZaM pic.twitter.com/DslQ1UzNQM— Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) February 12, 2025

For the second time in two weeks, SBU drones struck Russia’s Andreapol oil pumping station, part of the Baltic Pipeline System-2. The Feb 13 attack caused a fire, temporarily halting operations. The first strike on Jan 29 damaged pumps, tanks & sparked an oil spill.

Trump wants the rare earth metals, Putin needs Trump to stop the Russian bleeding, simple , we take over contested territories.

Another naval screw up

The USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier collided with a merchant ship [ Besiktas-M is a bulk carrier ] off the coast of Egypt, officials said.

DJT realizes that Zelenskyy is a dictator, he has forbidden elections, and outlawed the main Christian religion in Ukraine

It's time for the Zeepers to understand the same

NEW:

🇺🇸

Trump confirmed that Zelensky will not participate in the negotiations and will have to accept the agreement:

"Zelensky will have to do what he has to do. And his poll numbers are not particularly great, to put it mildly..."

“~250 Russian total army combat brigades (active + reserves)”

I think that the Russian Army actually has far fewer Brigades

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Ground_Forces_brigades_of_the_Russian_Federation

Perhaps that number comes from back at the height of the Soviet Red Army. If I recall correctly, Russia only fielded about 120 Battalion Tactical Groups for this Ukraine War - something more like 40 Brigades, or maybe 50, if you count specialized Brigades, like Engineers and Rocket Forces.

Perhaps they have a bunch of ghost Reserve units, that consist mostly of an authorization document and a guidon in in a display case

Witkoff back in Moscow. Just arrived.

TRUMP: "I don't see any way that a country in Russia's position could allow them to join NATO."

"The war started because Biden went out & said that Ukraine could join NATO."

Here’s an explanation of how the Russian military breaks down it’s units [ oral dictation taken back in Sept 2022 ]:

A fuller explanation of Orc military structure as the war began:
The RGF once used the Army with many Divisions. But that was during WWII and the cold war. Since there were no more major wars, the RGF downsized its units of division from Division to Battalion. However since 2012 or so they have begun to convert back to Division.

Now [ 2022 ] there is a mix of unit designations Division and Battalion.

None of the smaller divisions are even close to Western unit make up ( totally forget the “BTG” [ Battalion Tactical Groups ] terminology - its a Western construct ). For instance: there are 2 kinds of Mechanized Infantry Brigades, each with a different, but similar, make up. Call them Type A and Type B.

Type A has 2 tank battalions ( ~60 T-72 tanks ), 2 Infantry battalions, Engineer battalion, Recon battalion, 2 self propelled artillery battalions ( could be up to 3 battalions ), MLRS ( Grad ) battalion, AA battalion, Communications battalion, UAV battalion ( Orlon-10 ), Sniper battalion, and Support battalion. Type A is self-sufficient militarily.

Type B has 3 infantry battalions ( mixed as A& B below ), 1 Tank battalion.

Infantry battalions in each Brigade are of two types, call them A1 & B1.
A1 has ~540 troops, 49 BTR-82s, 8 120MM Mortars, 6 AGS-17s, 15 AT missiles. 3 SPG-9s. 3 companies of about 109-110 troops. Fighting force about 300 troops.

B1 has ~460 troops, 42 - BMP-2s, 8 120mm mortars, 6 AGS-17s, 15 AT missiles, 3 SPG-9s. 3 companies of 91 troops.
Fighting force about 270 troops.

Troops on the frontline are never more than half, but more like 40%.

—
Due to heavy losses they were forced to combine A & B into a mixed structure. As things grew even worse, other changes were instituted. But Russia never used Battalion Tactical Groups which idea was V. Shogu’s, and he was roundly laughed at for trying to use it. BTGs are useful for small scale wars, but are insufficient for large wars like Ukraine.
