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.

Much hay is made when an abrams or leopard is lost, but little is made when almost daily t-90s are lost, but losing a T-14 on the front would be news
Don’t think you will see any of them anywhere near the front till after the war is over and then you will see them everywhere in propaganda films.
“The glorious T-14 won the war…..”

T-14: there aren’t any. Only a dozen prototypes. Will never go into production as too expensive, under-powered (1916 tractor engine), each tank needs a tow truck side kick for when the transmission locks up, etc.

Atta Boy!
“Mr. Johnson plans to advance a legislative package that roughly mirrors the $95 billion aid bill the Senate passed two months ago with aid to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and other American allies — but broken down into three separate pieces that would each be voted on individually. There would also be a fourth vote on a separate measure containing other policies popular among Republicans, including conditioning Ukraine aid as a loan.”
“And a group of mainstream conservatives rallied to Mr. Johnson’s side. In a remarkable joint statement, all three leaders of the national security panels in the House — Representatives Michael McCaul of Texas, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee; Mike Turner of Ohio, chairman of the Intelligence Committee; and Mike Rogers of Alabama, chairman of the Armed Services Committee — endorsed the plan. Representative Tom Cole of Oklahoma, the Appropriations chairman, also signed on.”
“At least one Democrat, Representative Jared Moskowitz of Florida, suggested on Tuesday that he would move to save Mr. Johnson if hard-right Republicans forced a vote to remove him, a move that Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, has suggested many in his party would consider.”
The RuZZian Boys on FR, twitter, etc are part of that plan.
Will FR see it is being ‘used’???
“Secret Russian foreign policy document urges action to weaken the U.S.”
“Russia’s Foreign Ministry has been drawing up plans to try to weaken its Western adversaries, including the United States, and leverage the Ukraine war to forge a global order free from what it sees as American dominance, according to a secret Foreign Ministry document.
In a classified addendum to Russia’s official — and public — “Foreign Policy Concept of the Russian Federation,” the ministry calls for an “offensive information campaign” and other measures spanning “the military-political, economic and trade and informational psychological spheres” against a “coalition of unfriendly countries” led by the United States.
“We need to continue adjusting our approach to relations with unfriendly states,” states the 2023 document, which was provided to The Washington Post by a European intelligence service. “It’s important to create a mechanism for finding the vulnerable points of their external and internal policies with the aim of developing practical steps to weaken Russia’s opponents.””
Also, drones again penetrated deep into Russia’s rear last night. (BOHICA Kazan)
Kyiv Independent reports:
“A factory in Russia’s Tatarstan producing bomber aircraft for the Russian military was attacked by Ukrainian drones on the morning of April 17, Kyiv’s military intelligence (HUR) has confirmed.
A military intelligence source told the Kyiv Independent there were no details at present on damage or casualties but claimed the facility manufactures Tu-22M and Tu-160M bombers, both of which are regularly used to target Ukrainian cities in mass missile strikes.
Earlier on April 17, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed two Ukrainian drones had been downed over the republics of Mordovia and Tatarstan...
...Ukraine has not confirmed what type of drones were used in the attack, but Russian media claimed that rather than a regular drone, it was a converted Ukrainian-produced Aeroprakt A-22 Foxbat light aircraft.”
Could it be true? Could RuZZian Boys be on the internet pushing ‘isolationist and extremist policies’ to weaken the US? Can ‘real American’s on the internet accept that they have been ‘used’?
???
“The document for the first time provides official confirmation and codification of what many in the Moscow elite say has become a hybrid war against the West. Russia is seeking to subvert Western support for Ukraine and disrupt the domestic politics of the United States and European countries, through propaganda campaigns supporting isolationist and extremist policies”
Could it be true? RuZZian Boys are on the internet to push’isolationist right-wing forces in America’?
“The academic, Vladimir Zharikhin, called for Russia to “continue to facilitate the coming to power of isolationist right-wing forces in America,” “
Could it be true?
“Western officials have warned that Russia has been escalating its propaganda and influence campaigns over the past two years as it seeks to undermine support for Ukraine.”
RuZZian Boys have been trying to delay weapons to Ukraine. Could it be true?
“The long congressional standoff on providing more weapons to Ukraine was only making it easier for Russia to challenge Washington’s global power, he said.”
"Ukrainian drones attacked the 590th Separate Radio Engineering unit of Military Unit 84680, located in the Russian city of Kovylkino in the Republic of Mordovia, on 17 April...
...The target of the UAV strike was the 29B6 Container, an over-the-horizon radar with a target detection range of about 3000 km and a detection height of over 100 km. The distance from the Ukrainian border to the strike location is approximately 580 kilometres.
The two-coordinate 29B6 Container over-the-horizon radar is part of the air and space reconnaissance and warning system. The first sample of the Container radar was constructed by the Russians in Kovylkino, Mordovia, in 2000-2002.
Residents report hearing explosions around 09:00 through messaging apps. Videos are also being shared online showing a pillar of smoke at the site of the Container radar after the drone strike.
The first attack on the over-the-horizon radar in Kovylkino was reported on 11 April. Media reports indicate that the command post building was damaged during that attack."

An American journalist who disappeared in the DPR was raped. He’s probably already dead
The famous American volunteer Russell Bentley (call sign “Texas”), whose disappearance was recently reported by his wife Lyudmila, was raped by a group of military personnel on the territory of the DPR. He was detained on April 8 on suspicion of spying for NATO countries.
“The group of military men was very drunk. Someone thought that “Texas” was filming our military equipment. Presentations began. In general, he was detained. One of the military men accused the American of often flying into Donetsk to places he had previously visited.” Texas,” an interlocutor close to the head of the DPR, Pushilin, told us.
The interlocutors hinted that after the rape, one of the officers said that it was no longer possible to let the American go. His fate is unknown, but there is reason to believe he may already be dead. Let’s hope that this is not the case.
The wife of “Texas” was advised not to make unnecessary fuss, but she decided to make the story of the arrest public.
Meanwhile, Russia’s influence on its neighbors shrinks. Armenia is giving Russia’s useless butt the boot.
Kyiv Independent reports:
Kremlin confirms Russian ‘peacekeepers’ withdrawing from Nagorno-Karabakh
“Russia has begun withdrawing its “peacekeeping” contingent from Nagorno-Karabakh, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed on April 17, according to Russian independent media outlet Meduza...
...Armenia has experienced heightened tensions with Russia after Russian “peacekeepers” did nothing to prevent Azerbaijan’s September 2023 offensive into Nagorno-Karabakh. The offensive ended in less than 24 hours with Azerbaijan’s victory and the dissolution of the self-declared Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
After Nagorno-Karabakh’s surrender, around 100,000 Armenians, the majority of the population, left the region for Armenia.
Azerbaijani media first reported on the withdrawal of Russian “peacekeepers” on April 16, saying that the process had been ongoing for several days.
Peskov confirmed the reports at a daily press conference on April 17, as cited by Meduza. He did not provide any further details on the withdrawal.
In March, Armenia asked Russian “peacekeepers” who have been stationed at Yerevan’s international airport since the country’s independence to leave.
Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan said in February that Armenia had “frozen” its participation in the Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) because it failed to uphold its objectives regarding Armenia.
The CSTO did not intervene during Azerbaijan’s 2023 offensive. Armenia is also considering applying for membership in the European Union, aiming to strengthen ties with Western countries amid growing tensions with Russia.”
If Johnson doesn’t move his Ukraine Bill, Republicans will sign the discharge petition. They’ve told Johnson so.
Its getting interesting in the House.
“Republicans who support sending aid to Ukraine were threatening to sign a petition that would force a vote on aid, according to people familiar with the discussions, and Democratic leaders were encouraging members to reach out to GOP colleagues. “
