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.

More good news, does burning oil contribute to GDP?🤔
Joe Blogs on YouTube recently publishedq a piece on how bad things are with Gazprom.
Long Russia’s most profitable company ($28 Billion, in 2021) and its biggest employer (half a million - 12th biggest employer in the world), it made Russia’s largest loss in 2023, and seems on track to do even worse for 2024 (4th quarter not yet reported), despite cutting virtually all spending on future development, and having a fire sale of its assets.
Sanctions have really worked.
Russia continues to persecute religious minorities, especially Evangelical Christian communities in occupied Kherson Oblast as part of a wider campaign in occupied Ukraine aimed at destroying independent Ukrainian national and religious identities. The Ukrainian Resistance Center reported on March 23 that Russian occupation officials are forcibly converting and reconsecrating Ukrainian churches into the Russian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (ROC MP) in occupied Kherson Oblast.[25] The Ukrainian Resistance Center reported that ROC MP priests watch Russian occupation officials torture Ukrainian Protestant Christian believers and force Ukrainian children to pray for the “Russkiy Mir” (Russian World) — a Kremlin-promoted geopolitical concept with amorphous parameters that broadly encompasses Russian language, culture, Orthodoxy, and media. ISW has previously reported on Russia's religious oppression in occupied Ukraine, including arbitrary detention and assassinations of Ukrainian clergy or religious leaders and the looting, desecration, and deliberate destruction of places of worship.[26] ISW has also reported at length on Russia's systematic repression of Ukrainian Orthodox communities and other religious minorities, particularly Ukrainian Protestants and Baptists who have faced Russian brutality and other repressions throughout southern Ukraine.[27]
Russian forces are reportedly failing to adequately provision first person view (FPV) drone units amid ongoing efforts to centralize Russian drone operations under the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD). A Russian milblogger claimed on March 23 that Russian FPV drone crews only receive an allotted 5-6 FPV drones per day from the Russian MoD and that these drones are often poor quality, leaving the crews with 2-3 usable drones.[101] The milblogger, who reportedly provides assistance to frontline Russian forces, claimed that drone crews ask for additional assistance and to exchange poor-quality drones with functional drones as well as parts to repair other drones. The milblogger complained that Russia is wasting federal funds on low-quality drones instead of producing high-quality drones. The milblogger suggested that the MoD could provide drone crews with 20-30 low quality drones so that drone crews can use their components to assemble roughly 10 functional drones. The milblogger also complained that the MoD sends soldiers to hidden FPV drone crew positions with new drones daily, which reveals their positions to Ukrainian forces.[102] The Russian MoD began efforts in August 2024 to centralize ad-hoc Russian drone units, and ISW previously assessed that these formalization efforts would likely degrade Russian drone effectiveness.[103]

Putin is Still Stealing Ukrainian Children
Returning from the SVO zone, the military personnel who were sent to the front from the colonies do not want to work, said the human rights commissioner of Tatarstan, Sariya Saburskaya. She also said that employers are “reluctant” to hire military personnel in their companies, despite their criminal records having been expunged. “Some of the individuals in this category have never worked before,” she added.

The Russian Central Bank has warned the Kremlin of the threat of a protracted collapse in oil prices. The same kind of collapse preceded the collapse of the USSR, Reuters writes. The warning is contained in an economic risk analysis that the Central Bank prepares at least once a year.
“The price of oil poses a significant risk,” one of the slides in the presentation says. It also mentions “significant growth in production in the United States and outside OPEC.” In addition, the presentation says that OPEC’s spare capacity is close to a record level and equals the entire volume of Russian crude oil exports.
Defense industry wages have stopped growing, investments may also decline. The economy is approaching a certain turning point, which will happen in April-May, said First Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Vasily Osmakov on March 24 in the Federation Council at parliamentary hearings.
If we look at 30-day averages, we can clearly see how equipment losses have been changing in 2025. The Russians are increasingly relying on civilian vehicles and drones.

At this rate, in three months the number will reach 6,000. The losses of just the senior officers rank will reach 1,000.

The video demonstrates the stupidity of the ruzzian commanding officers.
They don't know that UKF have ISR drone coverage.
They also don't know that UKF have artillery coverage.
