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.

Euros need to stop buying Putin’s oil.
Ukraine needs more Patriot batteries.

Not getting them from the US because that would be unfair to Putin.
Meme fix
Lots of Russian GDP there😎
If Trump didn't see this coming, he is incredibly naive. And Putin knows Trump can't reverse course because it would look weak.
“Russia’s population is declining at its quickest pace since the Covid-19 pandemic, even after President Vladimir Putin declared that a demographic turnaround is the country’s most important priority.
Russia recorded the lowest number of births last year in a quarter of a century, while the number of deaths increased for the first time since the height of the pandemic in 2021.
In 2024, 1.22 million people, or 3.4% fewer than in 2023, were born — the lowest level since 1999 — while deaths increased by 3.3% to 1.82 million, according to the Federal Statistics Service, known as Rosstat. The pace of the population decline accelerated by roughly 20% compared to 2023, due in part to the Kremlin’s three-year-old war on Ukraine.”
“While the Russian government hasn’t disclosed the number of people killed during its war on Ukraine, Dmitry Zakotyansky, an independent demographer and sociologist from Moscow, has estimated the number of dead at approximately 200,000 using indirect data.”
3x for WIA.
Could be 800,000 total RuZZian casualties.
I will be sad to see dead and dying horses, dead motorcycles not so much. I wonder if Russia can gather 500 horses to mount a really fine, poetic, and successful charge? Maybe even in Crimea where a recent report mentioned increased attacks against Russians and their military sites.
Of course Trump can reverse course, Putin mistakenly thinks Trump is as vulnerable as Putin is. Trump/Musk are much smarter with media use. All Trump has to do is post his anger at Putin’s betrayal of US peace efforts by Massive air attacks all over Ukraine using his usual media outlets.
Wait a day or two for the faithful to absorb his message then start reshipping the weapons in the pipeline. Also start resharing all useful intelligence and maybe even announce some new sanctions. Putin has no idea how much Trump has learned fighting the NY and Jersey Mafia, not to mention his father, his entire life. He will find out—Art of the Deal!
There may be a march on Moscow.” Gerasimov asks to urgently mobilize 150 thousand people, and then at least 200 more
The Chief of the General Staff addressed Vladimir Putin with this request. “Many new risks have emerged that we need to think about. What if Trump turns out to be not the friend we think he is? What if France takes more aggressive actions than it is now ( Macron's speech about the “future of Europe” and the Ukrainian conflict became the reason for the appeal to the president, - ed.)? What if a new Prigozhin appears, and internal enemies organize a march on Moscow? Such a march is possible, there are corresponding signals. In these conditions, only a strengthening of the army will save us,” our source in his circle quoted Gerasimov as saying.
In this regard, the Chief of the General Staff asked the president to “extremely urgently” mobilize 150 thousand people into the army. And later, at a calmer pace, mobilize at least another 200, and preferably 300 thousand new troops. Putin has not yet responded to this appeal. But the Kremlin is divided on this matter.
“Gerasimov and his people have had enough of their cries for mobilization. Vladimir Vladimirovich, understanding the difficult situation in Russia, is trying in every way to reach an agreement with the Americans, and even suggested that they develop some of our country's resources together. And this warrior still wants to escalate the situation. He's fed up,” said a source in the Presidential Administration who is involved in the negotiations with the US.
But another interlocutor in the Kremlin supported Gerasimov. “Strengthening the army is always a good thing. Personally, I will advise Vladimir Vladimirovich to engage in mobilization. This decision is not very popular, but it is important,” he said. However, the source refused to make any predictions about whether the Chief of the General Staff and his associates will achieve mobilization.
47, hoisted by his own petard of naivete
which everyone else has to pay for.
The Charge of The Light Brigade v. 2 is not far off.
Wishful thinking
Disagree, Trump can and I think will “reverse “ course, who can’t is Putin.
See the articles list on the right side of the ping page. It is about 10 listings down. Then I went to the article. It was posted today and the second comment is a direct quote from Trump.
Trump threatens massive sanctions on Russia for continued attacks on Ukraine, tells Moscow and Kyiv ‘get to the table right now’
NY Post ^ | 3/7/2025 | Steven Nelson
Putin can’t unless he gets all he wants, his life depends on it.
“Putin wants to end the war, he wants to end it.
I think he's gonna be more generous than he has to be.”— Trumppic.twitter.com/tIsKbvf3zk— Lord Bebo (@MyLordBebo) March 7, 2025
