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.

The same can be said for some American-supplied weapons.
The fact is that every country sending aid to Ukraine, first cleaned out its stockpiles of obsolete weapons, before dipping into inventories of more modern equipment.
The fact that Ukrainians were able to make-do with such obsoleted & defective equipment is a testament to both Ukrainians' resilience and Russian incompetence -- that even with the best equipment from Russian inventories, they could not overwhelm determined resistance by highly resourceful Ukrainians!
I can truly see him pounding on his key board screaming “victory” 😎
Got actual work to do, have fun 🍈
You are a Russian propagandist, and a liar, regardless of what nationality you claim here.
What Pres. Trump is trying to do is negotiate peace in Ukraine.
🍈 is here to cheerlead for Russian victory over Ukraine.
Today, Trump is being publicly tough on Ukrainians and relatively easy on your master, Putin.
At some point, that will reverse and then how much will 🍈 still love Pres. Trump?
Same can be said for NK and Iranian supplied weapons, but just like the “phantom” NK soldiers, the usuals will cry “they don’t exist, all is going according to plan “
The closer DJT gets to Peace, the louder Neocons beat the drum.
A Trump supporting American citizen who was literally outside wildberry warehouse😂
Joe Biden used the ruse of N Korean troops to extend the war into Russia proper via missile attack. Rather than post pictures of melons back and forth to PIF, feel free to offer proof of these N Korean troops in Ukraine.
Proof positive that Zeepers are completely humorless
🍈 do you deny telling me that you were literally outside the warehouse when it was burning?
If that is the case then for someone who is the grammar, spelling, and word use official FR monitor, I am surprised you don’t know what “literally “ means.😂
Nice try

[ Toretsk Surrrounded! The Ukrainian Trap is Closing in! ]
Today [ Mar 09, 8 pm ], the biggest news comes from the Toretsk direction.
Here, as Russian forces in Toretsk struggled to hold their crumbling defenses, Ukrainian troops launched a decisive push into the town’s southern micro-district.
What followed was a swift and brutal assault as elite Ukrainian units overran exhausted Russian fighters, reclaiming key ground in the battle for control.
The goal of the Ukrainian forces is to completely retake control of the city and liberate it after their previous counterattacks proved successful. The Russian forces in the town have exhausted themselves from almost a year of constant and costly urban combat, exposing weak points for the Ukrainians to exploit.
Ukrainian forces have exhausted the Russians by draining their resources and manpower, while attempting to conserve their own, in carefully executed defensive operations and offensive raids, to compensate for their initial numerical disadvantage.
After 9 months of brutally executed defense, this is now allowing the Ukrainians to finally turn the tables and launch their counterattacks from the strongholds they had pulled back to.
The main advantage of the Ukrainian forces is that they are deploying elite units, like the Lyut brigade, which specializes in close-quarters combat and assault operations. In contrast, Russians have relied on poorly equipped and undertrained forcibly conscripted soldiers from the Donetsk puppet state.
Russian sources reported that after nearly a year of fighting, the Donetsk Peoples Reublic Army Corps, integrated into the Russian military as the 8th Combined Arms Army, had been completely depleted and almost entirely eradicated during the battle for Toretsk, exposing gaps in the Russian line.
The Russian forces have no advantages that could allow them to effectively counter the Ukrainians at this point, as the months of heavy fighting have destroyed Toretsk to rubble with little infrastructure left standing.
This means that the Russian forces cannot achieve numerical superiority anymore as they would need to conceal their forces in spacious houses, high-rise residential buildings, and industrial facilities, which have been destroyed by past fighting, allowing deployment of small squads only.
Russians are severely disadvantaged without numerical superiority on the contact line, as Ukrainian small infantry assault groups are often much better prepared, equipped, and trained.
These conditions allowed the Ukrainians to turn the tide of the battle, deploying powerful mechanized assaults in the southern part of Toretsk. The Russian defenses here are the weakest, with insufficient numbers, made up of unmotivated Russian conscripts scattered in the basements of one-story residential houses.
Geolocated combat footage from the area reveals how the Ukrainian forces conducted successful attacks in the southern part of Toretsk, deploying several squads of stormtroopers on board of M113 armored personnel carriers, to assault Russian positions. The footage shows that this time, Russians were able to hit and disable the vehicle, but only after it had already deployed a fresh group of soldiers.
As Russians later conducted a follow-up strike to ensure the vehicle could not be evacuated, repaired, and returned to service, it can be seen with all the hatches and crew compartments open, indicating that the NATO-supplied vehicle withstood the initial hit, and allowed the crew to make it out alive.
As the Russian lines in Toretsk crumbled, with Ukrainians securing more ground, the Russian forces started panicking in fear of a total frontline collapse and a Ukrainian breakthrough. For this reason, they decided to deploy elements of the 150th Motorized Rifle Division to reinforce their defenses in the city.
Units of the 150th Motorized Rifle Division have been engaged since the beginning of the war, with their most recent deployment being at the Pokrovsk direction, where they sustained severe losses in manpower and equipment. Their deployment for urban fighting in Toretsk means they will sustain even heavier losses, as this Russian contingent of forces had already depleted its combat capabilities in Pokrovsk.
Overall, the Russian defenses in Toretsk keep crumbling, with continued Ukrainian territorial gains and desperate attempts of the Russian command to salvage the situation. The deployed Russian reinforcements are inadequate for countering the Ukrainian advance, as they consist of already depleted forces, which will result in fragmented Russian operations at Toretsk.
This will allow the Ukrainians to maintain the tactical initiative, tightening the noose around the Russian-controlled center of Toretsk.
As I said you are not only dopey, but also humorless.

Looks like the 47 recession is under way with a huge decline across the stock market this morning. All due to his “Art of the Deal” on again, off again tariff trade war on everyone who we traded with.
Billionaires can withstand this onslaught of “temporary” pain, but the rest of us may be forced to sell everything we own to the bank ( run by billionaires ).
Its the “Art of the Deal”, and we are being dealt out.

The orcs will have to eat donkeys.
Speedys suspension wasn't about "free expression of opinions", rather he was using "democrat talking points." I'd go as far as to say you calling American citizens "Russians" is Hillarys' talking point she used against Trump.
Speedy was not suspended, he was banned his account canceled.
