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.

they’ll just move everything beyond the Urals, like they did during WWII.

In Dagestan, Russia, official authorities presented 9 families of those killed in the war in Ukraine with a cake

Some got cake, some got flowers.
Amazing Putin!
Russia’s GDP is growing at 2.2% this year — faster than the USA! 😆
And Russia’s real GDP is now larger than it was before the war started.
As for Ukraine — the Nazi pawn of NATO — the real GDP is down 30%. It would be down 90% if it were not for the billions in… pic.twitter.com/fIT7la7GFg— S.L. Kanthan (@Kanthan2030) November 26, 2023
Very Off Topic:
Factoid: Carl Sagan said, “The universe is so vast that Earth has been visited by sub-light speed aliens at least 10,000 times”.
NASA has reportedly made a breakthrough and achieved their most critical milestone in their electrostatic drive, ie a constant 1G acceleration ( 9.8 meters/sec squared ) with no propellant ... similar in result to an anti-gravity drive.
If it continues to be developed, it means we can travel to the center of our galaxy in a human life time and even to other galaxies.
The best ship design to manipulate these forces is saucer shaped or a flying wedge ...
A constant 1G acceleration maintained for 1 hour equates to 60,000km, maintaining that speed increases the distance covered exponentially; in 2 hours you cover 225,500km; in 2.5 days you would be past the orbit of Jupiter; in 10 days past the orbit of Uranus; in 12 days you would have left the observable solar system or be 35 AU from Earth.
Voyager 1 is 167 AU from Earth. But in a mere 3 months at 1G constant, you would be 3,000 AU from Earth.
In less than a year, you would have gone about 1/2 a light year, and also be going as fast as physically possible in this Universe: 99.99% of the speed of light. This is the point things get weird with Time Dilation effects.
This electrostatic drive is being developed by Dr. Charles Buer, a long tine NASA engineer, co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies [ https://exoduspropulsion.space ], where you can actually build one yourself, however manipulating the electrostatic field appropriately is complex.
If this technology can be placed in space and scaled up, and it still works, then all of space is opened up to mankind.

Donald C. Trump: “GLOBALISTS ARE BEHIND STOCK SELL OFF”
That explains it. Thanks Donald C.
Those Italian Women.
“Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said Ukraine should be granted the security of NATO without the actual membership in the military alliance.
Speaking on the sidelines of a European Union leaders’ meeting in Brussels on Thursday, she said “we need to think about more durable solutions” than sending European peacekeeping troops to Ukraine.
Extending the provision of NATO’s Article 5 — the collective defense clause that commits members to protect each other — would be much more effective, she said.”
Turkey is sensing an opportunity to get into the EU and become the largest military in NATO, should the US leave. Imagine Turkey driving NATO agenda and policy. Outside of a European alliance, Turkey, again the largest military in NATO after the US, is a huge threat to several NATO members, including Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova. Maybe the Balkans too. If they extend as far as Romania and Moldova, they would likely take Crimea in a fairly short war. The below “our own center of gravity” quote sounds suspiciously like “a neo-Ottoman Empire”.
“The actions of the US president are a wake-up call for us to unite and create our own center of gravity,” said Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.
Vice President Donald C. Trump talking to President Musk.
“President Donald Trump convened his Cabinet in person on Thursday to deliver a message: You’re in charge of your departments, not Elon Musk.
According to two administration officials, Trump told top members of his administration that Musk was empowered to make recommendations to the departments but not to issue unilateral decisions on staffing and policy. Musk was also in the room.
The meeting followed a series of mass firings and threats to government workers from the billionaire Tesla founder, who helms the Department of Government Efficiency, that created broad uncertainty across the federal government and its workforce.”
Turkey doesn’t have the money or the industrial base to fill any new NATO power vacuum.
APPL outperformed again, only losing 0.41 cents a share.
Starship Flight 8 booster was successfully caught by the launch tower flippers. Starship, however, did not fare so well - the engines lost altitude control again, and it went into an uncontrollable spin, breaking up on descent just passed where Flight 7 broke up.
Block II starship is having teething problems - it is a brand new version of Starship.
Mass cruise missile attack on Ukraine right now. Kalibrs launched from the Black Sea and Tu-95s on their way to the launch lines.
