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.

Russia is using cryptocurrencies in its oil trade with China and India to skirt Western sanctions, according to four sources with direct knowledge of the matter.
In Sudzha, Russian soldiers shot three Koreans. They thought they were saboteurs
The liberation of Sudzha resulted in the unnecessary death of North Korean servicemen. While some of the soldiers were helping civilians evacuate to Kursk, some of the soldiers drank alcohol, which led to irreversible consequences.
“Two soldiers were checking houses and found alcohol somewhere. What and where - no one knows. After drinking a little, they continued to inspect the surviving buildings. In one of them, they found a group of three soldiers. As it turned out later, they were fighters from North Korea. But our guys did not understand their language and suspected that they were NATO saboteurs. In short, they were dismissed,” said the commander of one of the units that is cleaning up the outskirts of Sudzha. The soldier clarifies that there are not many civilians in the city. Many buildings are destroyed, there is shelling, so it is quite difficult to work in those conditions.
On the other hand, it is good that our guys are safe. There are many Koreans, let them learn Russian. But, of course, it is important that the military does not drink alcohol and does not create a vicious image against the background of the real heroism of all those involved in the liberation of Sudzhi.

“ 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”
Same ole same ole Russian mir. All world are belong to us…..
Finnish war was the Finns fault, invasion of Poland was Poles fault, “liberation” of Ukraine was Ukrainians fault….
Recentism, going only far enough back in history to justify your position. Remember when Muscovy was just a swamp with a few hits on it and Kiev was a thriving city? China has some historical claims of its own, why pay for the oil and water when you can just take it.
The history of Russia is conquest and brutality, but Russian mir washes it all clean!
Wouldn’t surprise me, but curious how much russia is getting financially.
Imagine production and transportation costs are still high, and china holds the cards on what they are willing to pay
Russia is moving product, they have to just to not have the whole system collapse like it did in the 90s.

Reportedly, a drone fell very close to the route Putin usually takes to the Kremlin.
Drone attacks on Russia are becoming increasingly more frequent and massive. Turns out, even the most air-defense dense Moscow and Moscow region are not fully protected by air defense. Oil depots and refineries are also not protected well - they are hit almost daily.
There are grounds to believe that it's not just an increase in the number of drones but also using drones of new types, including missile-drones.

"Not very American"?
The US has launched 469 military interventions worldwide as of 2022, according to government data.
Trump threatening to invade and colonize other countries is as "American" as apple pie.
The entire history of the USA is a history of colonialism and war. https://t.co/h43ILk3EwQ pic.twitter.com/BccJgpqdnR— Ben Norton (@BenjaminNorton) January 10, 2025

Tanks are fine, but would like to see the processing equipment destroyed. Much harder to replace than tanks. Hopefully that was hit as well
Ukraine's accession to NATO is no longer on the table - NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte
The operators note the high efficiency of the air defence system. One of the most productive days was when the unit managed to destroy as many as 15 cruise missiles during a single Russian missile attack.
An interesting case is also described when accidentally two Russian cruise missiles were shot down with a single IRIS-T missile. The cruise missiles were flying side by side, the first was intercepted, and the second flew straight into the debris of the first.
