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.

However, in doing so, they ended up exposing themselves. The blurred spots clearly reveal the locations of defense industry enterprises. Good job.

Russia having to use Tu-160s tonight since they lost so many Tu-95s.
The launch order never came.
The plan started to fall apart as soon as the Oreshnik failed in flight.

Russia hitting electrical substations in Kyiv with drone strikes.
“Russia having to use Tu-160s tonight since they lost so many Tu-95s.”
Watching the change in what the Russians fly from here on out will provide some clues as to what they lost in the Spider Web.
“Actually, the Oreshnik did launch.”
So Putin did manage to get one up for a change, but popped prematurely.
First wave of cruise missiles launched from the bombers.
“MASSIVE ATTACK ON RUSSIA AND CRIMEA”
Sounds like Trump’s approach for now, after talking with the German Chancellor, is to let Ukraine do their worst to Russia (perhaps Ops and Targets that had previously been restricted), to incentivize Russia to seek peace. The big Stick of Bone-Crushing Sanctions remains waiting in the wings, if needed.
Kyiv Independent reports:
“U.S. President Donald Trump said on June 5 that it might be best not to intervene in Russia’s war against Ukraine for now, speaking during a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House...
...”Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy,” Trump said. “They hate each other, and they’re fighting in a park, and you try and pull them apart. They don’t want to be pulled. Sometimes you’re better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart.”
Trump said he used the same comparison during a 75-minute call with Russian President Vladimir Putin the day before, casting himself not as a direct participant but as a referee observing the conflict.
“You see it in hockey. You see it in sports. The referees let them go for a couple of seconds,” he said. “Let them go for a little while before you pull them apart.”
Trump has repeatedly threatened to impose sanctions on Russia if he does not see progress in peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow. While he did not name a specific date, he added, “Yes, it’s in my brain the deadline.””
Saratov oil refinery is burning.

“Engels”
Imagine if it is TU-160s, burning.
Oh an oil refinery in Engels - I thought it was the Air Base.
Not enough Air Defense assets to be everywhere at once, so whack-a-mole continues...
Saratov and Engels oil refineries?
Both near big Russian Air Bases, likely providing them aviation fuel.
Oops, Saratov and Engels are probably referring to the same place. probably just one refinery burning.
The city (and Airbase) of Engels, is in Saratov Oblast, across the bridge over the Volga River from its Sister city of Saratov.
