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.

Actually, there's a third way -- the cease fire agreement should clearly spell out that any future Russian aggressions will result in automatic immediate Ukrainian NATO membership.
Problem solved!
Zelensky said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces "completely destroyed North Korean units (which no one ever saw) in the Kursk region"
It's likely he said this after destroying another batch of parcels from Colombia. pic.twitter.com/0NnzdoNvAM— Chay Bowes (@BowesChay) February 15, 2025
Coyote meme MRLS unleashed 😂
NATO expansion is the reason for Putin’s invasion, he knew his pathetic military could never challenge NATO. If Ukraine joined NATO his dreams of an expanded Russia were over.
True
he knew his pathetic military could never challenge NATO.
It was NATO who challenged him (see NATO expansion)
If Ukraine joined NATO his dreams of an expanded Russia were over.
Trump said no
Now take your Russian hate elsewhere. Americans don't care about your ethnic allegiances. When Ukraine "misplaces" +$100 billion in US taxpayer dollars, they don't really deserve a say in anything.
That's not working Dimwit.
Well-prepared defensive positions would indicate UKF intel are doing a great job of "predicting" ruzzia's attacks.
That would involve intercepting ruzzia's communications and monitoring ruzzian movements via ISR drones and satellite photos.
It also involves excellent UKF OPSEC/COMSEC...ruzzia doesn't know what Ukraine is doing.

I am amazed that ruzzia has not figured out how to protect these valuable assets against FPV drones.

The video shows that the guns are loaded with tracer rounds. Normally, every sixth round would be a tracer.

KREMLIN TO ZELENSKY: YOU ARE A CLOWN TO INSULT TRUMP - BITING THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU
Dmitry Medvedev @MedvedevRussiaE:
"The Kiev clown chastised Trump for everything possible.
That is, the washed-up beggar & thief spat into the giver's hand.
The question is, how will… pic.twitter.com/QCn9RrfWUx— Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) February 15, 2025
"The U.S. will keep funding Ukraine but insists on an immediate ceasefire to stop the killing. Ukraine will be at the negotiating table, but Europe won’t."
He added that Trump will not compromise Ukraine's important interests, so there will be no "weak deal."
https://x.com/NOELreports/status/1890793772058828927
So now, it's going to take 6 months and the U.S. will keep funding Ukraine.
The big question is: Will both sides agree to a cease fire?
So, I’d doubt if Zelensky is Yermak’s puppet or if Yermak is as compromised as those allegations might suggest.
—
Well that was the perspective of a Ukrainian who was well connected to the power structure and something of a Ukrainian history buff.
It is a well know fact that Yermak’s father works for the KGB. And his son followed in his father’s footsteps. It is also undisputed that Yermak ordered the mine fields on the Crimean border to be cleared just before the Russian 57th Army invaded the south.
You must understand after the Soviets withdrew from Ukraine, many of the ministers and officials were Soviet holdovers, including Yermak. There was the economic minister, a female whose name escape’s me at the moment, who at the outset of the invasion set fuel prices higher than the cost of importing them, in order to create economic hardship and chaos, before fleeing back to Russia.
At the time of the invasion, most of Ukraine was run by Russians or Russian sympathizers, many of whom were the corrupt officials that Biden/Hunter dealt with.
The anti-corruption department worked hard to clear out most of the rotten officials but it was legally very difficult. Yermak is on the list, but corruption and proof he was a traitor, have remained difficult for the lack of concrete evidence - most of which was destroyed and knowledgeable parties killed either in the war of by an ‘accident’.
Zelensky does what he is told to do. That Zelensky wants to retain the pre-invasion borders is only because Putin thinks it sounds good politically, but is supremely confident that he [ Putin ] will keep all Oblasts incorporated into the Russian Constitution and Ukraine will be forced by the US to withdraw from the Kursk Oblast. All winning for Putin. All losing for Ukraine.
47 is falling into that trap by his 2 phone calls to his “good friend” Putin, while excluding Zelensky, seeking bi-lateral negotiations. This approach and the excluding NATO membership for Ukraine in any negotiations, is beginning to destabilize Europe.
Then Vance comes along and tells the EU that partnership with the US is pretty much over, and they will not be part of any negations, but they have to, at the same time, step up there military to deter Russia - a task they cannot hope to achieve for at last a decade.
The outlook for Ukraine and the EU is not bright.
One has to hope this ‘peace’ scenario as currently set up is not going to be anywhere close to the final one.
Actually, there’s a third way — the cease fire agreement should clearly spell out that any future Russian aggression will result in automatic immediate Ukrainian NATO membership.

No that’s naive because the freed up Russian troops will be rotated into Belarus to begin the linkage of Lithuania to Kaliningrad through the Suwaki Pass. Meanwhile at home, Russia will continue its preparation for an eventual war with NATO with renewed vigor. It will not matter about Ukraine’s putative NATO membership because the linkage will be too swift to counter with the Baltics now cut off from the rest of Europe.

The Orlan-10 command vehicle was discovered by a Shark ISR drone.
“The U.S. will keep funding Ukraine but insists on an immediate ceasefire to stop the killing.
—
So 47 forces UKR into an “immediate ceasefire to stop the killing”, but Russia keeps on killing UKR troops with impunity?
Makes no sense, unless that is a Putin demand 47 has agreed to in one of his phone calls with Putin.
Orlan-10s belong exclusively to artillery battalions.
2023, Pres. Obama with Alexander Soros:
🍈 : "Each one of these creatures is an unabashed supporter of war with Russia rather than the peace Trump wants
These are your people"
Wanting and doing are not yet the same things.
In the meantime, US aid to Ukraine continues as planned and Russian casualties are currently running about 80% of what they had been last fall.
So, the war is not over.
As for young Alexander Soros, he has supported Ukraine with nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in the past decade.
So have many others, thank God, including Pres. Trump, who sent Ukraine $3 billion during the years 2018 through 2021, 2/3 of that being lethal military equipment.
These are 🍈 's people:
Russians' destruction of Bakhmut, Ukrainian civilians killed at Bucha:
“False narratives are xiden was aware...” I think this quote needs correction or clarification. Regarding other events, I just read some interesting reports on the potential catastrophic effects of halting some USAID programs.
Africa is a very important area for our future considerations. Both China and Russia are trying hard to influence or acquire the valuable resources and people of that continent. Russia has just signed an accord with the apparent winner in the recent nasty Sudan War. Moscovy will build a military naval port there which will have direct potential to affect Suez and Red Sea shipping which enables about 40% of world commercial shipping. USAID has been providing daily AIDS medication to millions of Africans. Failure to take this medication for even a few weeks can allow AIDS to resurge in infected people, leading to more severe active illness, spread to partners, possible mutations to more deadly forms, costly hospitalization, and more infants being born with the illness, or becoming orphans as parents die unnecessarily. This will further disrupt weak national and local governments as their medical costs increase and need to provide for orphaned and sometimes unnecessarily infected infants and children.
Rapid restoration of the essential lifesaving funds to these USAId programs preventing activation and spread of AIDS must happen quickly to prevent the people with very low virus loads becoming actively ill and dying. Dying in this case is not slow, but puts a tremendous strain on scarce medical resources and further allows infection of spouses and other partners. Useful work also becomes steadily less possible.
A major danger is that China or Russia will quickly jump in with a replacement program for the withdrawn USAID help. THey will be able to make maximum use of this tragedy to label US as a false friend and totally unreliable as an ally or business partner. All those resources that President Trump and the US have been hoping to buy and use for reindustrialization of the US will be lost for a long time. No MAGA (make Africa great again) may lead to greater difficulty of MAGA (making America greater again). I hope some of Musk’s young brains can see the importance of this issue, and warn their bosses.
