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.

“UK Rivet Joint currently over the Black Sea near Crimea”
Maybe missiles will be sent to kill Putin at Sochi, for angering President Trump. The Houthis have been seeing a lot of that lately.
Putin signs decree on springk conscription. Authorities want to call up 160,000 people โ a record number in the last 13 years
Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of 31.03.2025 No. 187
“On the conscription of citizens of the Russian Federation for military service in April - July 2025 and on the dismissal from military service of citizens undergoing military service by conscription”
In the first year of the war with Ukraine, 134,500 people were sent to serve in the spring, and 120,000 in the fall. However, in 2023, 147 thousand were called up for service in the spring, and 130 thousand in the fall. In 2024, this dynamic continued: the spring conscription was 150 thousand people, and the fall conscription was 133 thousand.

160,000 for recruitment for the first half of the year and with a reduction rate of 809/day it gives just over 6 months, i.e. they have almost a steady state for the Big Meat Grinder.
“160,000 for recruitment for the first half of the year and with a reduction rate of 809/day it gives just over 6 months, i.e. they have almost a steady state for the Big Meat Grinder.”
That 809/day avg is skewed by the past, when Russian firepower was greater, and their casualty rate was lower. The trend on their casualty rate keeps climbing. Even 1,200/day might be a conservative estimate going forward. They can likely make up the shortfall with voluntary recruits paid big bonuses, but that continues to get harder for them as well.
NYT however is running cover for the Biden administration. When you read through this very long article, the conclusion is that the Biden administration and US military command were easily defeating Russia until...
1) The Ukraine Generals started acting up and disobeyed US orders.
2) Zelensky chased "big wins" for PR reasons, failing to follow US strategy.
3) Resulting in the 2023 counteroffensive 'failure.' Trust was broken between US and Ukraine.
4) What followed was the US keeping Ukraine in the game up to the US elections, by striking targets in Crimea and pre-2014 Russia.
5) Trump entered the WH and decided to wind the war down, handing Russia the win.
"History Is Written by the Victors."
In this case the NYT has decided that the US (under Biden) was victorious, IF not for the insubordinate Ukrainian Generals and ego of Zelensky. Trump will be blamed for the end result capitulation.
๐The article 100% explains why NATO and the Europeans still believe that they can win this war. Peak delusion and propaganda.
True

An average of 800 personnel eliminated per day includes the first year when averages were no more than 400 a day. I would say recent months have averaged at least 1400 eliminated daily. At that rate 160,000 added to the Russian Army will last less than 4 months, certainly not 6 months. Obviously if Putin does not train his troops and continues his “meat wave” tactic the higher rates, often above 1800, means they will be decommissioned in less than 3 months. Ukraine is getting more deadly, not less. Battle conditions would have to be changed significantly by one side or the other for these statistical predictions to end differently.
CHECHENS moving by the Thousands to UKRAINE !!!!
Expected that 9,500 are on way over the next few days !!
Mass frontal offensive to take place in the next weeks ,ultimately on way to KIEV !!!!
Putin is taking gloves off ...
And nothing that NATO can do !!!pic.twitter.com/GpnSfU47HMโ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐ (@SMO_VZ) March 31, 2025
Our President has now stated that he is not joking, but is serious about seeking a third term. Makes me wonder if his plan is to goad Russia and Europe into continuing this Ukraine conflict to turn it into a forever war like Vietnam or Afghanistan. THen he might plan to explain that as a “wartime” President, he must continue his service with a third term.
Best laugh that I have had in days! Get this:

Pure Comedy Gold!
President Trump would spank Pooty’s little patootie so hard, it would make his head spin.
The boss has said that there is going to be a ceasefire, or he will take away Pooty’s oil toys.
Beta Pooty knows better than to say dumbass things like that himself, but it is entertaining that he allows his stooges to beclown themselves to such a debased degree.
Russia and Europe into continuing this Ukraine conflict to turn it into a forever war like Vietnam or Afghanistan.

There is only one (1) Forever War. It began in 622 AD and continues to this day - cleverly obscured by the complicit media. Even the Hundred Years War between England and France was not forever.
Everything else since 622 AD are just short term wars - just because the American public has just a bit more of an attention span than a fruit fly is no excuse for calling short duration modern wars “forever wars”. The plainly are not.
“Makes me wonder if his (Trump’s) plan is to goad Russia and Europe into continuing this Ukraine conflict”
My expectation is that he will shut it down in the coming months, or Russia will end up getting a significant whipping, economically and Militarily.
