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 don't believe the max speed is 300km/h.
Probably more like 200km/h.
The war er ah SVO comes home. Putins power comes from exploiting the East and protecting his base in Moscow and St. Petersburg. In addition to high inflation, interest rates the Muscovites are seeing physical effects of the war now.
What is dear leader doing to protect them?
That was the agreement😂
What does this facility do?

Putin Wants to Play Leading Role in US-Iran Talks
Russia plans to play the role of key coordinator in the talks on Iran's nuclear program. Recall that during his contacts with Washington, Vladimir Putin answered Donald Trump's question about the possibility of such a dialogue in the affirmative. The president will voice the same position during his talks with Trump's representative Witkoff.
At the same time, the Iranian president categorically rejected the possibility of talks with Trump on Tuesday. “There will be no direct talks for now. We must help our two partners find a common language. Of course, without Russia, this dialogue will be counterproductive. Vladimir Vladimirovich understands what he is doing,” a source in the Presidential Administration told us.
The Foreign Ministry explained to us: “Moscow can become a platform for talks, this will have a very positive effect on our image. Imagine: the US and Iran discussing nuclear security issues in Russia, isn't that wonderful?” The dialogue on Iran is expected to continue during the next contact between Putin and Trump.
The truce has caused strange processes in the Kremlin. They talk about Trump's fears, call Putin a genius and reproach him for starting the SVO in vain.
Vladimir Putin's statement about readiness for a truce at the front and the nuances associated with it has caused contradictory and even confused reactions in the Kremlin. Opinions on the president's words are divided. “Vladimir Vladimirovich is a genius. A brilliant response to proposals for a truce. Now we will need to put a little pressure on Trump, and we will disrupt not only the supply of weapons to the Kyiv regime, but also the mobilization, which will be a great success. And then it will become easier to achieve all the goals that are necessary for the future of Russia,” said a source close to the president in the Presidential Administration. Another is sure that “our respected American partner Trump” developed several fears at once after he saw Putin in a military uniform in the Kursk region. And “now it will be easier for Vladimir Vladimirovich to achieve the necessary result.”
But there are other opinions. A patriotic source, whom some call a hawk, commented on the situation as follows: “What is happening now is humiliating, it is painful to watch. As well as the fact that Vladimir Vladimirovich considers the liberation of the Kursk region a great Victory. Eternal glory to the soldiers who died there, who are liberating the region. But there should not have been such casualties, and the enemy should have been thrown out of the Kursk region last fall.” “In 2022, before the start of the SVO, I personally heard Vladimir Vladimirovich say: there will soon be no Ukraine, and in Kyiv we will bring our man to power. Now we are happy about the release of Sudzha. Sorry for being frank, but I increasingly think that our president started the SVO in vain. And that so many guys died at the front in vain. Otherwise, how can we explain what is happening and the fact that Ukraine still exists?” the channel's interlocutor added bitterly.
What can I say. Very unpleasant processes are taking place. Back in February, we warned : negotiations with the Americans on the Ukrainian crisis are splitting the Russian elite. No one listened to our warning, and the process is becoming truly dangerous.
Certainly hope so, but we will see, lots of “annexed” territory still under Ukrainian control including Donbas.

Strange Russians talking about Moscow international airport 😂😎

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 13, 2025
Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected the ceasefire proposal that the United States and Ukraine recently agreed upon in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and offered an alternative proposal that undermines US President Donald Trump’s stated goal of securing a lasting peace in Ukraine. Putin claimed on March 13 that he “agrees” with the temporary ceasefire proposal and that the “idea itself is correct” but that the cessation of hostilities “should be such that it would lead to long-term peace and eliminate the initial causes” of the war.[1] Putin thus rejected one of the main principles of the US-Ukrainian proposal — that the temporary ceasefire precede formal negotiations to end the war.[2] Putin also claimed that there are questions that “require painstaking research from both sides.” Putin questioned several aspects of the US-Ukrainian temporary ceasefire proposal. Putin asked what would happen to the remaining Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast and whether Ukraine would be allowed to continue to mobilize forces, train newly mobilized soldiers, and receive military aid from its partners and allies. Putin questioned the control and verification measures of a temporary ceasefire and who would give the orders to stop fighting. Putin suggested that he may call President Trump to discuss the “issues” involved in the ceasefire proposal. Putin postured military strength during his rejection of the ceasefire proposal, highlighting recent Russian successes in pushing Ukrainian forces out of Kursk Oblast and claiming that Russian forces are advancing in “almost all areas of combat.”
Putin’s rejection of the ceasefire is consistent with March 12 reports from Russian insider sources about the Kremlin’s likely response to the proposal.[3] Bloomberg reported on March 12 that sources familiar with the Kremlin’s thinking and the situation stated that Putin will “stretch the timeline” for agreeing to the temporary ceasefire in order to ensure that his stipulations “are taken into account.” A source close to the Kremlin stated that Russia may demand a halt to weapons supplies to Ukraine as a condition of the temporary ceasefire. Russian opposition outlet Verstka reported on March 12 that a source close to the Russian Presidential Administration stated that the Kremlin would “formally” give a “positive response” to the temporary ceasefire proposal but would also demand “impossible conditions” to which Ukraine cannot agree. The source stated that Putin wants to remove Ukraine from talks so that Russia can engage in negotiations with the United States alone while also “correcting the situation on the front” to strengthen Russia’s negotiating position. ISW assessed on March 12 that these Russian insider source leaks may have been intentional and part of a Russian negotiating strategy that aims to push the United States to renegotiate its deal with Ukraine on the temporary ceasefire.[4] Putin’s response to the ceasefire offer suggests that they may also have been at least partially accurate.
Putin is offering an alternative ceasefire agreement that is contrary to the intentions and goals of the US-Ukrainian ceasefire proposal. The US-Ukrainian ceasefire proposal calls for a renewable 30-day cessation of combat operations along the entire frontline, a moratorium on long-range missile and drone strikes, and a cessation of operations in the Black Sea.[5] The proposal allows for Russia and Ukraine to extend the ceasefire and assumes the continuation of US intelligence sharing and US and other military assistance to Ukraine. The US-Ukrainian ceasefire proposal was explicitly aimed at allowing Russia and Ukraine to demonstrate their willingness to make peace and separates the temporary ceasefire from future negotiations to end the war.
Kremlin officials continue to use narratives similar to those that the Kremlin has used to justify its invasions of Ukraine to set informational conditions to justify future aggression against NATO member states. Russian Presidential Aide and former Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev claimed in an interview with Russian national security-focused magazine National Defense published on March 13 that NATO “traditionally” uses threats as its main instrument in interstate relations and that NATO’s “European wing” is continuing its policy on “blocking” Russia in the Baltic region. Patrushev claimed that the United Kingdom (UK) is “orchestrating” NATO’s “aggravation of the situation” as part of efforts to disrupt negotiations on Ukraine and Russian and American attempts to normalize their bilateral relations. Patrushev also claimed that the Finnish population, unlike Finnish authorities, is friendly to Russia and that the UK has approved Finnish authorities to “do everything to deprive their country [Finland] of its sovereignty.” Patrushev threateningly claimed that the Gulf of Finland has a historical “geographic affiliation with Russia” and that “it should not be forgotten that Finland was part of the Russian Empire.” Patrushev claimed that the Russian Empire “respected” and “preserved” the Finnish people and language in the Grand Duchy of Finland. Patrushev appeared to try to compare Russia’s current war against Ukraine to the Soviet-Finnish Winter War in 1939–1940. Patrushev claimed that Finnish attempts to seize Soviet lands and “actively militarize” created a threat to the USSR and that Finland was “indiscriminately exterminating” the Slavic population in Karelia. Patrushev claimed that the West is “again turning [Finland] into a springboard” for aggression against Russia. The Kremlin has used similar false narratives about the Ukrainian government’s discrimination of Russian-speaking minorities in Ukraine and the military threats that Ukraine supposedly poses to Russia in order to justify Moscow’s invasions of Ukraine. Patrushev’s claims that the UK is “orchestrating” Finland’s and the Baltic states’ allegedly threatening behavior are likely part of the Kremlin’s ongoing efforts to drive wedges between the United States and Europe and to weaken NATO[23] The Kremlin appears to be using the same general narrative playbook that it has used against Ukraine and other former Soviet states but is adjusting its narratives to exploit any tensions among Western states.
