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 Russian propaganda. Russia has a little more than 1/3 the cars per capita.
Also, the end points are made up. Current data shows that.
Grow up.
The enemy tried to shoot down our drone — but FPV pilots from the Muramasa Unit spotted it and destroyed the system.

That is your buddy, delta7.

More Neocon nonsense from a true half-wit. But pull up a chair. You found the right Ghetto. The Zeepers here are equally as dopey as you are.
Russia continues to utilize North Korean troops in Kursk Oblast, but ISW has not yet observed indications that North Korean troops are operating as combat forces in Ukraine. Syrskyi stated that Ukraine has observed at least two waves of North Korean forces training and replenishing their forces, presumably on the frontline or in near-rear areas, and that North Korean forces continue to operate against Ukrainian forces in Kursk Oblast.[13] Syrskyi noted that North Korean forces are improving their training, weapons, and equipment after suffering significant losses in battle and that North Korean forces have “effectively switched to the standards of the Russian military.” Ukrainian military observer Kostyantyn Mashovets reported that up to four “brigades” of North Korean forces — which Mashovets reported as roughly equivalent to two motorized rifle brigades — are operating in Kursk Oblast.[14] Mashovets reported that Russian forces either use North Korean forces to reinforce Russian assault units or allocate North Korean forces to separate areas for operations in their regular units, usually at the company to battalion levels. The presence of North Korean forces in occupied Ukraine or on the frontline within Ukraine would be a notable inflection in the degree of North Korean participation in the war. North Korean forces fighting in Ukraine itself would likely mark a decision point for Western and Pacific countries concerned about North Korean escalation in the war in Ukraine and the continued combat experience North Korean forces gain fighting alongside Russian forces.[15]
Syrskyi stated that there are currently 623,000 Russian military personnel fighting against Ukraine.[16] Syrskyi stated that Russian forces are “increasing the number” of personnel in Ukraine by 8,000 to 9,000 new personnel per month through contract recruitment and that the Russian force grouping fighting against Ukraine increased from about 603,000 on January 1, 2025 to 623,000 just over three months later. Syrskyi attributed these recruitment numbers to the financial incentives that the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) and Russian federal subjects have offered to Russians who sign contracts with the Russian MoD. Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Deputy Head Major General Vadym Skibitskyi stated on March 3 that there were 620,000 Russian soldiers operating against Ukraine and that there were about 580,000 Russian soldiers operating against Ukraine in November 2024.[17]
The People's Republic of China (PRC) denied sending military personnel to fight in Ukraine following Ukrainian reports of Chinese nationals fighting alongside Russian forces. PRC Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Spokesperson Lin Jian stated on April 9 that the PRC did not deploy military personnel to fight alongside Russian forces in Ukraine, emphasizing that the PRC consistently urges its citizens to avoid involvement in armed conflicts.[20] Lin noted that the PRC is currently verifying the situation with Ukrainian authorities. Lin's statement comes amid official Ukrainian reports on April 8 that Ukrainian forces captured several Chinese “fighters” who were fighting for Russia near Bilohorivka (east of Siversk) and Tarasivka (northeast of Pokrovsk) in recent attacks and that there are likely more PRC citizens in the Russian military.[21] A Ukrainian brigade confirmed on April 9 that its soldiers were responsible for capturing the PRC citizens fighting in Ukraine.[22]

However, this is not the first such situation. In March 2015, Putin did not appear in public for ten days – from March 5 to 15. At that time, his press service stated that the president was “working in Novo-Ogaryovo” and had a “busy schedule,” although the media spread versions of illness, death, or the birth of a child. Western publications, in particular The Guardian, reported a possible cold, but did not officially confirm this.
Another similar episode occurred in November 2024, when Putin disappeared from public view from November 8 to 19. He was last seen at the Valdai Forum on November 7, where he congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory. During his absence, nuclear threats were made in Russia, and Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev spoke of the possibility of war. Meanwhile, independent media, including the Daily Record, suggested that some of Putin's speeches were recorded. No official information about the reasons for his disappearance was ever made public.
Кремлевская табакерка Putin is sick, but this is “no reason for panic and manipulation”
A source close to the president in the Kremlin made this statement. He asked us to publish his comment on the news that Vladimir Putin has not appeared at public events for more than a week. “Vladimir Vladimirovich is a little sick. He caught a virus, a runny nose, a cough, as happens to everyone. Plus, his age has a bit of an effect. Nothing serious, and almost everything is fine now. This is definitely not a reason to write on the Internet about the “disappearance” of the president. Not a reason for panic and manipulation by foreign agents,” the channel's source said.
At the same time, he does not rule out that the publications about the “disappearance” of Vladimir Vladimirovich were ordered by enemies of Russia and Putin – domestic or Western ill-wishers. And he promised that the FSB would deal with this issue.

Interesting comment, of pitin has not been seen in public for this period of time it is somewhat newsworthy. Doesn’t mean he is on deaths bed, and probably safer for him to avoid “the public”
Curious what NK will do with soldiers sent to Russia. Having been exposed to information that they don’t get in NK, would they be considered dangerous to the NK regime if they were to return to NK.
Likewise I wonder what happens to Russian POWs returned to Russia.
Would they be considered dangerous as well being exposed to information likely not available in Russia.
For instance a returned POW telling of good treatment, as opposed to what they have been told would happen.
