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.

Anything that hurts Greece, pleases Erdogan. Anything that hurts Ukraine, pleases Putin.

HUMBLE TANK KILLER:, The M72 LAW is an unguided, one shot, disposable Light Ant-Armor Weapon. The LAW is effective against most armored fighting vehicles, there are literally hundreds of thousands of these weapons in Ukraine.

Would these be effective against donkeys?

[AdmSmith]

That is "hard" weapons, we should use "soft" weapons:

Avoid feeding potatoes, anything from the brassica family, onions, leeks, garlic, stoned fruit and anything which is old, fermented or mouldy as these are toxic to donkeys.

RELEASE THE BULLS: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has stated it is a priority that Ukraine win the war and liberate all occupied territory from Russia. 500km range Taurus cruise missiles may soon be striking targets deep in Putin’s comfort zone.

Foreign ministers also discussed military aid for Ukraine.

That won’t work on Russians, they have a “cursed capacity for suffering”, to reference Doctor Zhivago.

[AdmSmith]

Yes, they can’t complain...

As long as America isn't involved, who cares what Europe does?

UKRAINE: Leaders arrive in Kyiv urging Zelensky to stay the course and refuse efforts by the Trump administration to end the war.

JAN2025 Dollars and Sense: America's Interest in a Ukrainian Victory By Elaine McCusker | Frederick W. Kagan | Richard Sims
American Enterprise Institute

Supporting Ukraine to victory against Russia is in the best interest of the United States.

A world in which Russia prevails would be more dangerous and more expensive for America—requiring an estimated increase of $808 billion in defense spending over five years.

Alternatively, an increased and accelerated multinational commitment to Ukraine and conclusion of the war in the near term would result in a vibrant and free Ukraine with a newly modernized and battle-tested military and a thriving industrial base, which would help stabilize Europe.

Stability in Europe may also improve conditions in the Middle East and Pacific as the Axis of Aggression sees a resolute alliance that is both willing and capable of using a wide range of deterrence options combined with decisive, rapid response to contingencies.

Hence, supporting Ukraine is a good deal.

JUST IN: Trump says "major economic development transactions" between Russia and the U.S. are coming as the war in Ukraine draws to a close 👀

And I believe it was a “research “ vessel as well😎

Less Propaganda is good, right?

They have revolted several times, after ww1, 1991 just to name 2.

So there is a limit to their capacity to suffer, personally I think the limit will come when the rich and upper class start to suffer. It is the oligarchs rather than the surfs dear leader is worried about

While Iran is putting time, energy, and money into producing Shahed drones for Russia, Iran is putting less time, energy, and money into producing other weapons. With Ukraine destroying over 96% of those drones every time, looks like a win for our side if our side still includes Israel.

Ukraine has done great things with it’s development and production of assorted advance drones. The US would be wise to arrange to get a lot of Ukraine’s drones, even a surplus to trade with Taiwan for advanced computer chips and the like. One way for Ukraine to repay some of the war debt to the US.

The average poor Russian is not the target of many of the sanctions. Target is the Russian Oligarchy which is paying attention, has a range of interests some different from Putin’s, and frequently little armies/bodygatds of their own. You may have noticed that the number of foreign murders and window flights has decreased from several years ago.

Russia is now an armed camp of assorted Mafias. In fact the first I became aware of this was while reading Gorky Park. At that time Russians were angry at Chechens for dominating the independent flea markets. Ultimately they were blocked by the bloody anti Chechen wars. Prigozhin is dead, but Kadyrov now occupies a similar function/space. Full blown Mafia, including Putin and family. Hopefully Trump with his NY/NJ experiences is aware of how this operates. I remember as a child in New Jersey my father showing me houses where the Mafia chiefs lived. Nice, big, but not too showy, thoroughly suburban.

Mafia chief meets real estate baron - what could go wrong?
