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.

Ukrainian Elections:
Since its a parliamentary system, only the heads of the winning party can become President, but that person depends on politics within the particular party.
Its who wins the most seats in parliament that decides the ruling faction. The voters do not vote directly for the President, as in the US.
But even that person is just a figurehead and PR guy, because the country is actually ruled by the Presidential Administration, currently headed by Andri Yermak, a Russian sympathizer with many connections to the FSB/KGB, in conjunction with various ministers and parliament for the legal approval of any decisions made by Yermak & his ministers.

The Battle of Khalkhin Gol in 1939, may have been the most important of the entire war. It basically took the Japs out of the war against the Soviet Union, a little fact Hitler might have liked to have known, before declaring war on the US.

On ‘Peace’ Negotiations with Russia:
There are only 2 ways that UKR can be guaranteed peace from Russian aggression: by Russian military defeat or by Russia disarming its military. The first is more likely than the later. The later would also require someone like B. Yeltsin to take over from Putin.
As long as Putin is in power, Russia will continue to seek to expand it’s borders, in an effort to reclaim the old USSR borders - no matter the cost, while using any halt in fighting to continue to fight elsewhere in Europe and building out it’s military for a wider war.
Russia and peace are not two words that go together. 47 needs to understand this point and stop repeating Putin talking points and making verbal concessions, even before any formal negotiations begin.
To that end Vance seems to get it, and Hegseth had to walk back his verbal concessions to Russia. So there might be a glimmer of hope for UKR.
Any military action by NATO would quickly roll up Russian lines in most of UKR, since they have almost no air defenses remaining nor early warning radars. Their AF is so far behind the front as to make it a non-starter.
These are your people
Don't be a sad melon, join The Trump!
“once the war is put on even temporary cease-fire, Russia’s brigades will quickly begin to fill up”
I agree with that assessment.
Over the course of the last few years, Russia has jacked up the size of its authorized force structure very considerably - several additional Divisions worth for Active Duty, are just waiting to be filled.
Equipping them will likely take several years of high investment, but personnel could potentially flood in, during just the first year or two, if they have a near term plan for them.
“the famous Ukrainian drone captain with the call sign “Madiar”... On February 7, 2022, Robert volunteered”
May God bless this patriot.
“as best I can figure now, Russia is running circ 15% of GDP on its military”
I assume that you are including the forced debt that banks have been providing to Russian Defense firms.
There is limited capacity to sustain this level of funding from that source in the mid term.
Of course, Russia could continue to print money and enforce war economy dictates, so their war materiel production could continue apace, but with even more severe dislocations of their domestic economy and general standard of living.
“Your side “
🍈I think you are confused comrade
Yes the “peace agreement “ between Russia and Japan freed up the troops and equipment that arrived just in time to save muskova.
Ultimately that agreement led to the defeat of Germany and Japan.
Interesting how moments like that define the future
Dear leader should have thought of this, but dictators do what dictators do
Also the name of the Soviet General who won that battle was Zhukov.
Also the Japs were upset at Hitler’s Non-Aggression Pact With Stalin, that they decided to do one of their own.
The Axis, was an alliance in name only. Thankfully!
My mission is to make this Forever Thread a self-cleaning oven.
The Sudanese Civil War is approaching a conclusion, and the apparently winning side is inviting a Russian naval Base on the Red Sea.
Kyiv Independent reports:
Sudan to allow Russia to build its first naval base in Africa
“Sudan will allow Russia to build its first naval base in Africa, the country’s foreign minister, Ali Youssef, said during a visit to Moscow on Feb. 12.
“Sudan and Russia have reached an understanding on the agreement regarding the Russian naval base,” Youssef said during a press briefing with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
“The matter is very simple. We have agreed on everything,” he added.
The naval base — which has been under discussion since 2017 — would give Moscow access to the Red Sea, one of the world’s most strategically important waterways through which 12% of global trade passes through due to the presence of the Suez Canal at its northern end.”
Russia now has virtually no ocean going navy. It will be interesting to see how they will support it.

They could reconfigure parts of the North Sea Fleet and the Pacific Fleet to fill in. They *could* contract with China to build a few units, but that could take years - even if Russia has the money.
