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.

Bye.
If you don’t want to be suspended, don’t come on here using democrat talking points.
“ Localization, not Globalization”.
Ironic to find that in your profile page.
The temporal correlation between the suspension of US intelligence sharing with Ukraine and the start of Russia's collapse of the Ukrainian Kursk salient is noteworthy. Russia has been attempting to push Ukrainian forces from the salient in Kursk Oblast through slow, grinding advances since the incursion began in August 2024. Russia later deployed roughly 12,000 North Korean military personnel in October 2024 to assist in repelling the incursion, but Russian forces continued to make only gradual gains.[18] The Trump administration suspended US intelligence sharing with Ukraine on March 5, although there continue to be conflicting reports about the details about the US suspension.[19] Russian forces intensified offensive operations to expel Ukrainian forces from Kursk Oblast on March 6 and 7.[20] A source reportedly affiliated with Ukrainian military intelligence started reporting more rapid Russian advances in Kursk Oblast on March 5.[21] A source in the Ukrainian government stated in a March 8 Time article that the US intelligence sharing suspension has impacted Ukrainian operations in Kursk Oblast the most.[22] The Russian military has not previously prioritized the effort to push Ukrainian forces out of Kursk Oblast over making further advances in eastern Ukraine despite concentrating a sufficient force grouping to do so in late 2024.[23] A direct link between the suspension of US intelligence sharing and the start of the collapse of Ukraine's salient in Kursk Oblast is unclear, although Kremlin officials have recently announced their intention to take advantage of the suspension of US military aid and intelligence sharing to “inflict maximum damage” to Ukrainian forces “on the ground” during the limited time frame before the possible future resumption of US intelligence sharing and military aid to Ukraine.[24]
Reports about the extent of the suspension of US military aid to Ukraine continue to indicate that the suspension will likely affect Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russia. Forbes stated on March 7 that the Trump administration has halted US support for Ukraine's F-16 fighter jet radar jammers.[25] The Wall Street Journal reported on March 8 that a source familiar with the matter stated that Ukraine is currently able to fire one artillery shell for every three that Russian forces fire – even with Ukraine's current supplies of US shells.[26] The suspension of US support to Ukrainian F-16 radar jammers will likely hamper Ukraine's ability to continue to use the aircraft to defend against Russian strikes into Ukraine's rear.[27] Ukrainian officials indicated in December 2024 that Ukrainian forces had been able to gain an artillery advantage of 1.5 to one or three-to-one in some areas of the front, and Russia's current artillery advantage over Ukraine will likely continue to grow as Ukraine's stockpiles of US ammunition decrease further following the US suspension of military aid.
Ukraine's European allies continue to provide material and financial aid to Ukraine. French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced on March 8 that France will use accrued interest from frozen Russian assets to provide Ukraine with military aid worth 195 million euros (roughly $211 million).[28] Lecornu noted that the funds will facilitate France's delivery of 155mm artillery shells and AASM Hammer missiles to Ukraine, which are compatible with Ukraine's French-supplied Mirage 2000 fighter jets. Lecornu added that France is accelerating the transfer of unspecified older armored fighting vehicles to Ukraine. Norway's Parliament agreed on March 6 to increase military aid to Ukraine to a total of 85 billion Norwegian kroner (roughly $7.8 billion) in 2025 - an increase from Norway's November 2024 pledge to allocate roughly 35 billion Norwegian kroner (roughly $3.2 billion).[29]
Ukraine's European partners may be able to independently supply commercially available satellite imagery to Ukraine amid the suspension of Ukraine's access to US portals with such imagery. The Financial Times reported on March 8 that Anders Linder, the head of the international division of commercial satellite imagery supplier Maxar Technologies, stated that any of Maxar’s commercial customers – including US allies and partners – can use the data that they purchase from Maxar “however they see fit,” including by “sharing it with their allies, such as Ukraine.”[30] Politico reported on March 7 that Maxar stated that the Trump administration had “decided to temporarily suspend Ukrainian accounts in G-EGD” - the US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's (NGA) Global Enhanced GEOINT Delivery System, which is the main portal for accessing commercial imagery that the US government has purchased.[31] European states have reportedly been discussing ways to compensate for the intelligence that the US has stopped providing Ukraine.[32]
Russia continues to showcase its deepening relations with American adversaries despite ongoing bilateral talks between the United States and Russia. Russia, the People's Republic of China (PRC), and Iran announced on March 9 the opening of their annual trilateral “Maritime Security Belt – 2025” naval exercise in Chabahar Port, Iran.[33] Iranian state-affiliated media outlet Mehr News Agency stated that the exercises will begin on March 11.[34] Russia, the PRC, and Iran conducted the exercise in 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2024, and the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed that the objective of the exercise is to “ensure maritime security, combat piracy and terrorism at sea, and protect sea communications.”[35] The PRC MoD claimed that the exercises are aimed at “deepening mutual trust and pragmatic cooperation between the armed forces of the three countries.”[36]

But, but, butt…. Look at Russian GDP😂
Interesting, I thought FR(free republic) was all about free expression of opinions, even ones you don’t particularly like “🍈” hummmm
🍈 : "When are you going to get tired of posting this Neocon swill?" When will you grow tired of posting Russian propaganda lies?
🍈 has changed tactics, or rather the AI that calls itself 🍈 has changed - now the once abhorrent long texts are appearing and the image memes have receded. After all one can only generate so many images.
But now 🍈 has been caught - we scrolled past its endless meme postings; now we scroll past his pointless texts.
I'm a Trump supporting American citizen, and by your standard (and Hillarys) DJT himself is spreading Russian propaganda.
Never confuse a peace-seeking, Trump supporting Irishman with AI
🍈m : "That looks like Elon Musk to me, besides where's the proof that picture is from the Ukraine?Only official Russian propagandists maintain the fiction that there are no NoKo troops fighting in Kursk.
Even Russian mil-bloggers confess the truth of the matter.
Of course, anyone is free to choose Russian propaganda, but why would any sane person do that?
Of course, anyone is free to choose Russian propaganda
The picture you posted looks like my favorite Mexican food truck chef, but nice try.
Here’s a happy Korean
Never argue with an AI bot.
🍈: "Update: President Trump will not restore military aid to Ukraine even if a minerals deal is reached until Zelensky agrees to a peace deal directly with Russia!" That is just wishful thinking by pro-Russian propagandists.
and here comes Mother PIF with more direction and more lies.
That is the full extent of the Neocon argument for more war.
