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.

...as Russia becomes increasingly Islamic.
The Moscow Catedral Mosque, with a capacity over 10,000, is bigger than any in Europe.
NATO Defense Ministers met today. A huge surge in Defense spending is on the table.
Deutsche Welle (Germany) reports:
“NATO alliance defense ministers have broadly endorsed a plan to increase spending to 5% of GDP, as US President Donald Trump has demanded the alliances members invest more...
...US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Thursday said that NATO members were close to a deal on spending ahead of the Hague summit (June 24-25).
“This alliance, we believe, in a matter of weeks, will be committing to five percent — 3.5% in hard military and 1.5% in infrastructure and defense-related activities,” Hegseth said after meeting with NATO counterparts.”
Failed Oreshnik launch.
The rise of SUPER NATO! (Putin and Trump share the credit)
With NATO’s Non-US GDP exceeding $25 Trillion in 2024, going from 2% devoted to defense to 5%, would be over a $750 Billion dollar per year increase, from outside of the USA, to an annual total of about $1.275 Trillion from NATO members other than the USA.
The USA had about a $29 Billion GDP in 2024, and already spends over 4% on Defense. Altogether, that would raise SUPER NATO’s annual Defense spending to around $2.7 Trillion!
Russia had about a $2 Trillion GDP last year, and about a $150 Billion Defense Budget - less than 5% of what SUPER NATO is considering committing to, later this month at The Hague Summit.
SUPER NATO vs. Endless Supply of Meat.
“Failed Oreshnik launch.”
Putin can’t get them up any more.

Oh, and Bone-Crushing Sanctions as well.
"WASHINGTON/BRUSSELS (Reuters) -President Donald Trump's administration announced on Thursday its nomination for the next top U.S. general in Europe and said the U.S. military officer would also assume the traditional role of Supreme Allied Commander Europe.
Trump's decision to nominate U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General Alexus Grynkewich to both roles (US and NATO), which was first reported by Reuters, will relieve European NATO allies and even some of Trump's fellow Republicans amid concerns about a retrenchment in American military leadership of NATO.
Grynkewich must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
The position of SACEUR, which oversees all NATO operations in Europe, has been filled by a U.S. general since its creation after World War Two. U.S. Army General Dwight D. Eisenhower became the alliance's first SACEUR in 1951."
Neptun missile strikes on Crimea.
Massive explosions at the Bryansk airport.
Russia has been hyping up and threatening Ukraine with Oreshnik for half a year. The first Oreshnik strike also did no damage to Ukraine, but was promoted as the scariest weapon Russia has 🤡

Some of them claim that an Iskander launcher might have been destroyed.

"They will be restored," he added.
Yup, just like the Black Sea Fleet!

Sure they will!
Test pilots wanted. Apply in 2040.
▪️Iskander launchers, which Russia planned to attack Ukraine with;
▪️a warehouse with stockpiles of Iskander missiles;
▪️a plane that brought new Iskander missiles;
▪️aircraft based at the airport.

Kudos to Ukraine target intel for locating the Iskanders.
My guess is the Oreshnik was going to be the first missile in, followed by the Iskanders.
When the Oreshnik failed, the Iskander launches were delayed.
Boom.
Russia sending their remaining strategic bombers for mass cruise missile attack right now. Airborne and en route to their launch lines.
It is reported that the wreckage fell on the territory of 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan!
🤣🤣🤣There are very few of these missiles and they turn out to be defective. I wonder how much money was stolen in the production of this ‘wunderwaffle’

Actually, the Oreshnik did launch.
Shortly after launch, it broke into pieces.
Apparently, all of the competent rocket scientists are Ukrainian.
As I recall there are only a very limited number of Oreshnik missiles - way under 50 and no new once can be made because sanctions.
wunderwaffle - its turning out to be lees of wonder and more of a waffle.
