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.

I believe that was the play all along, get russia(as if it wasnât obvious) to show their hand
“Interesting news”
(President Trump has restored aid flows to Ukraine, as well as Intelligence sharing after today’s (11 March) meeting in Saudi Arabia)
I think there is going to use of strong carrots and sticks (incentives and punishments) on both sides.
President Trump has shown Ukraine that he can and will pull the trigger on their aid flows, if they donât play ball.
I wonât be surprised if Russia faces some strong moves too, until he has everyoneâs serious attention.
Agreed, I hope that president Trump realizes that Putin is in a life and death box, he canât give up territory, even territory he doesnât control and survive.
Knew that đwould resort to anti-Trump, is that acceptable? After all he took a bullet for us

It's you who associates with #NeverTrump freaks, not me
I believe that was the play all along
That's funny stuff coming from a guy who uses crayon to write.
"Ukrainian forces hit and damaged the Moscow Oil Refinery and a Druzhba oil pipeline facility in Oryol Oblast in a fierce overnight drone attack on Monday (reportedly, the largest of the War, so far), the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces has reported.
According to Ukrainian officials, the giant refinery--capable of processing 11 million metric tons of oil per year and covers nearly half of Moscow's gasoline and diesel supplies--was hit multiple times, although Gazprom Neft, which owns the refinery, didnât respond to a Bloomberg request for a comment."
If that is true, then why on at least 3 occasions has he posted a picture of Trump in military uniform and wearing a Russian name label which we are being told is his official spy agency name for him as a recruited Russian agent.
If he is an agent of Putin’s Russia it doesn’t even make sense since 47 came on board. Perhaps he is an agent of the St. Petersburg group which is fighting with Putin? who knows in this crazy world.
I don’t know if this event is what you have shown a few comments before, but here is a link to see a map and results for Pokrovsk of the Depot Explosion described below:
“Russian Lines COLLAPSE IN POKROVSK AFTER MASSIVE DEPOT EXPLOSION | RFU News” Reported earlier on Tuesday.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzX0f8pt-pY
If true this is a valuable result.
THe Pokorovsk video above runs 5 1/2 minutes. It is well narrated and makes good use of the map, describing movement and plans. There are also a lot of comments, and I am copying one of the better ones below:
“It definitely seems like the last week ish Russia’s manpower problems have finally caught up with them. Leading up to this we kept seeing reports of them sending out wounded on offensives, and now sections of the line are starting to crumble. Russia has a dilemma, call off the offensives and regroup or do another round of mobilization. The first one is preferable from what we know about Putin but it would involve him giving up on any pretense of pushing forward. The longer the decision is delayed the less men they will have to hold the pre prepared defensive lines and the less moral they will have. Truly a pickle Russia is in.”
The United States and Ukraine agreed on March 11 to an immediate 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine contingent on Russia's agreement, and the United States reportedly restarted intelligence sharing and military aid.[1] US and Ukrainian representatives met in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on March 11 for bilateral talks and agreed to the ceasefire proposal, which the United States will soon propose to Russia. The US-Ukrainian joint statement emphasized that Russia's reciprocity to this ceasefire proposal is the key to achieving peace and noted that the ceasefire can be extended if all parties agree. The joint statement noted that the United States will immediately lift its suspension on intelligence sharing and military assistance to Ukraine. The United States and Ukraine also agreed to finalize a deal on minerals as soon as possible. Ukraine reiterated in the joint statement that European partners will be involved in the peace process. The United States and Ukraine also discussed humanitarian relief to Ukraine, especially during the ceasefire, including the return of prisoners of war (POWs), detained civilians, and forcibly deported Ukrainian children to Ukraine. Ukrainian Presidential Office Deputy Head Pavlo Palisa confirmed on March 11 that the United States has already resumed the flow of military assistance to Ukraine.[2] A source close to the Ukrainian government told CNN that the United States also fully restored intelligence sharing to Ukraine on March 11.[3]
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the ceasefire would encompass a cease in combat operations along the entire frontline, a moratorium on long-range missile and drone strikes, and the cessation of operations in the Black Sea and would begin as soon as Russia agrees to the US proposal.[4] US Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded during a press conference on March 11 to a question about a deadline for Russia to respond, stating that the deadline is âas quickly as possible,â that the United States will inform Russia about the ceasefire proposal through multiple diplomatic channels, and that the âball is now in [Russia's] court.â[5] US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz stated that he will speak with his Russian counterpart in the coming days and clarified that the resumed US military assistance to Ukraine includes the provision of material authorized under the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA).[6] European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and French President Emmanuel Macron expressed support for the 30-day ceasefire proposal and emphasized that the onus to respond is now on Russia.[7]
Russian ultranationalist voices, including a Russian State Duma deputy, largely rejected the ceasefire proposal on March 11. Russian milbloggers, including Kremlin-coopted milbloggers, rejected the ceasefire proposal because the United States and Ukraine will allegedly âabandonâ peace âat the first opportunityâ and the war in Ukraine is existential for Russia.[8] One milblogger claimed that accepting the ceasefire would be âpure betrayal and sabotage,â and another milblogger questioned the purpose of accepting this ceasefire proposal without achieving Russia's war aims.[9] Russian State Duma Deputy and former 58th Combined Arms Army Commander Lieutenant General Viktor Sobolev stated after the publication of the joint statement that Russia should not agree to the âunacceptableâ 30-day ceasefire proposal because it would allow Ukraine to rearm and regroup.[10]
The Kremlin has not officially responded to the ceasefire proposal as of this publication, and Russian state media is attempting to frame earlier official Russian statements about bilateral US-Russian negotiations as responses to the ceasefire proposal. Following the publication of the ceasefire proposal, Russian state media largely amplified a statement from Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Spokesperson Maria Zakharova from earlier in the day on March 11 saying that Russia âdoes not rule outâ contacts with the United States in the next few days.[11] Russian State Duma Security Committee member Mikhail Sheremet stated before the joint statement was released that Russia is interested in a settlement in Ukraine but will not allow itself to be deceived, and Russian state media only amplified Sheremetâs statement after the ceasefire proposal.[12] Russian state media is likely attempting to portray the immediate Russian reaction as moderate for domestic audiences until Kremlin officials make public statements and provide a framing for broader Russian media coverage of the proposal.
Ukraine's allies and partners from Europe, Asia, and Oceania continue efforts to strengthen the Ukrainian military and back Ukraine with security guarantees â the most effective deterrent against future Russian aggression against Ukraine following a potential future peace agreement. French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu stated on March 11 that France âwill refuse any form of demilitarization of Ukraineâ and that the âfirst guarantee of security remains the Ukrainian army.â[13] Reuters reported that 34 military officials from European NATO states, EU states, Asia, and Oceania, met on March 11 in Paris to assess their militariesâ capabilities to maintain Ukraine's long-term military strength and to guarantee Ukrainian security in the event of a permanent ceasefire in the war.[14] French President Emmanuel Macron stated after the meeting that Ukraine's partners must âdefine credible security guaranteesâ for Ukraine.[15] A French military official told the Associated Press on March 10 that the meeting would discuss a French and British plan for the creation of a multinational force that would aim to reassure Ukraine and deter another large-scale Russian offensive.[16] The official stated that the envisaged force could include heavy weaponry and weapons stockpiles that participating militaries could deploy to help Ukraine defend itself in âhours or daysâ in the event of a renewed Russian attack. A strong Ukrainian military backed by Western security guarantees continues to be the strongest deterrent against another Russian invasion in the future, and Russia has been repeatedly insisting on Ukraine's âdemilitarizationâ and disarmament in order to deny Ukraine this deterrent and allow Russia to renew attacks against Ukraine at a time of Moscow's choosing in the future.
Bloomberg reported on March 11 that Western security officials stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin has âno intentionâ of making compromises on territory, peacekeepers, or Ukrainian neutrality and that Putin is prepared to continue fighting if he doesn't achieve his objectives in his war in Ukraine.[17] The officials stated that Putin has deliberately made âmaximalistâ demands, knowing that Ukraine and Europe would likely find these demands unacceptable. Western security officialsâ reports of the Kremlin's intention to achieve its âmaximalistâ goals in Ukraine are consistent with Putin's and other Russian officialsâ public statements, even as the Kremlin has attempted to posture itself as open to negotiations and ending the war.[18]
