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.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have launched drone strikes on the Irkutsk and Murmansk regions for the first time. Online broadcast A military unit in the village of Sredniy Usolsky District of the Irkutsk Region was attacked by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This was reported by the region's governor Igor Kobzev. This is the first case of a drone attack in Siberia. According to preliminary data, one of the drops occurred on an old building in Novomaltinsk.
The head of the Irkutsk region also called on residents of the region to trust only official sources of information. He recalled that the truck from which the drones were launched has been blocked, and there is no threat to locals.

The first comment: The truck traveled 6,000 km on federal roads and no one checked it ONCE! Russians are protected very well, very well!

The enemy launched a massive attack on our airfields. Up to 27 strategic bombers were lost or damaged
Sources in the Ministry of Defense confirmed: the enemy staged a brazen attack on several airfields with our strategic aviation. There are serious losses, but there are many insinuations surrounding the strikes.
“Unfortunately, we have to confirm that the enemy brought FPV drones deep into our rear and attacked airfields with strategic bombers. Other drones were also used in the attack, and we are currently working out which ones. At the same time, I must refute the propaganda. The enemy is shouting that we have lost almost 40 aircraft. This is nonsense! At the moment, no more than 27 bombers have been damaged or completely lost. The data is still preliminary,” said our source in the Ministry of Defense.
According to another, six Tu-95MS missile carriers were definitely lost. Other losses are being established.
We were forced to publish this information for 2 purposes. Firstly, to refute the enemy’s lies about 40 aircraft. Although the losses are still very heavy.
Secondly, we want all responsible services to say: how could you not prevent such a nightmare?
At this point i wonder if 50$ a barrel is even covering costs?
Indeed some say inflation is closer to 15-20% and there are almost zero commercial or personal loans being given out and if they are theu are closer to 30%
The ability for the govt to bail out banks is basically gone
Pitin Still remains master strategist and economistđ

âOnly 27â well thatâs not so badđđ
We can make those in a month er ah nevermindđ
Holy Shit Batman!!!!

âUkraine's Security Service (SBU) carried out this sabotage operation, which is considered one of the most damaging losses for Russia in terms of cost and impact on its strategic nuclear forces.
According to sources, 41 Russian aircraftâincluding strategic bombers and military transport planesâwere hit at four different bases. Part of the drones used autonomous target guidance, with results to be confirmed via satellite imagery.
An SBU agent group covertly transported 150 small attack drones and 300 munitions into Russia.
Out of these, 116 drones were launched.
The drones were controlled via Russian telecommunications networks, with automated guidance systems. Several mobile launch points were established near the bases of Russiaâs strategic aviation.
The drones attacked from close range during daylight hours, deep behind Russian lines. Despite the presence of layered air defensesâSAM systems, electronic warfare, and armed patrolsâthe Russian military was caught off-guard, having expected nighttime attacks by larger drones, not small quadcopters in broad daylight.
The most successful strike occurred at the Olenya airbase, where Tu-95 bombers were stationed. Several aircraft were completely destroyed after drones hit fully fueled tanks. Key results:
â˘Billions of dollars in combat equipment destroyed
â˘Loss of strategic bombers that Russia can no longer replace
â˘A weakened strike capability for future attacks on Ukrainian cities
â˘Russia will now have to invest heavily in base security
Importantly, all SBU agents involved have safely returned to Ukraine, and there were no reported Ukrainian losses.This was a large-scale, high-tech operation with no known global precedent in terms of execution and effect.â

â40+ bombers in a morningâ !!!!!!!
I initially thought that the number of 40 was the total loses since the war began.
That puts today in strong contention to be the worst day of the war for Russia.
Worst day, so farâŚ
From Wikipedia, on how many bombers Russia âhadâ.
Tupolev Tu-22M Soviet Union Jet Bomber (From 1973) â 56
Tupolev Tu-95 Soviet Union Turboprop Bomber (From 1956) â 47
Tupolev Tu-160 Soviet Union/Russia Jet Bomber (From 1987) â 20
123 in total, according to that source, from which you would likely have to also deduct previous combat loses and operational wear out.
Of the three types, only the Tu-160 production facility still exists.
This was big enough to wake Speedy from his slumber!
The ruzzians cannot deny the attack...too many videos & satellite images.
So, they have to argue numbers...they only hit 27 bombers, not 40.
...how could you not prevent such a nightmare?
Who will pootin blame?
How many are operational? They have been used for many flight hours and the service life of Russian engines is limited and what is the fatigue of the airframe?
Who posted that picture?

Amazing video of drone attacking TU-95's wing (fuel tank).
The geography of the attacks from Murmansk to Irkutsk. Almost all strategic and long-range aviation airfields have been attacked.
The damage will still be calculated, but the main thing is that such aircraft are no longer being produced. There is a finite number of them left and it is impossible to make up for the losses.
