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.

Here is an ISW analysis of Russia's goals in Ukraine:

1. "A senior Ukrainian official reported that the Russian military intends to seize half of Ukraine by the end of 2026.

2. "Russian forces are highly unlikely to be able to make such large advances in such a narrow time frame, given Russia’s current offensive capabilities and assuming that the flow of Western aid to Ukraine continues.

3. "Ukrainian Presidential Office Deputy Head Colonel Pavlo Palisa told reporters on June 5 that Russia likely seeks to seize the full extent of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts by September 1, 2025, and create a buffer zone along the northern Ukrainian-Russian border by the end of 2025.[1]

4. "Palisa also stated that Russia intends to occupy the entirety of Ukraine on the east (left) bank of the Dnipro River and seize Odesa and Mykolaiv oblasts by the end of 2026, depriving Ukraine of access to the Black Sea.

5. "Western sources published a map on June 4 and 6 that Palisa reportedly presented to US officials and journalists.[2]

6. "The map suggests that Russia intends to seize roughly 222,700 additional square kilometers of Ukrainian territory and hold a total of 336,300 square kilometers by the end of 2026 – almost double the roughly 162,000 total square kilometers that Russia held as of the first month of Russia's initial full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

7. "The total area of Ukraine is roughly 603,500 square kilometers [233,062 square miles]."

Two Ukrainian F-16s had been baiting that Su-35 near Tetkino for the past week and they finally got him.

[FtrPilot]

The Ukrainian Air Force is absolutely hammering Russian forces in the town of Tetkino, now surrounded by Ukrainian troops on three sides.

Seen here, Ukrainian F-16s, MiG-29s, and Su-27s drop a mix of US and French-supplied precision guided bombs on Russian positions.

The Sukhoi Su-35 is considered a very capable and potent fighter aircraft, particularly within the context of its 4th-generation fighter class (though it's sometimes referred to as 4.5 generation). It excels in air-to-air combat, offering superior maneuverability and a powerful radar system with long-range detection capabilities.

A max range missile shot requires the target to continue flying at the shooter.

If the target performs a 9g break turn 180 degrees as the dope fires his missile, the missile will never reach the target.

Rope-a-dope requires 2 aircraft.

One aircraft flies directly at the dope.

The other aircraft vectors away from the dope then turns back at the dope shortly before the dope fires his long range missile.

The dope must fly at the target aircraft until the missile goes "active".

This gives the second F-16 the opportunity to fire a long range missile at the dope.

This requires precision, teamwork and "balls".

Well done to the F-16 pilots.

Su-35 vs. F-16 in Ukraine: In the context of the conflict in Ukraine, Ukraine's F-16s, while bolstered by allies, are largely older models, and they may not be as competitive against the Su-35s in a one-on-one combat scenario, especially with regard to sensor and missile range.

Russian Z-bloggers are fuming over Kazakhstan’s “betrayal” after it signed a 2025-2026 military cooperation plan with the UK. Kazakh troops will train in British military schools, learn English, and prepare for “peacekeeping missions.” This, despite Kazakhstan’s membership in the Russia-led CSTO.

English is the language of NATO.

I wonder what Kazakhstan's long term goal is.

Absolutely true.

The Ukrainian F-16s must fly as 2-ships or even 4-ships.

Ground control by Patriot radars would also help, especially when flying over contested area.

Single ship is OK when flying Defensive Counter Air (DCA) missions & High Value Asset Protection (HVAP) missions as both of these missions are usually flown well behind the front.

The russians have begun moving Tu-160 bombers to Anadyr, 4,000 miles from Ukraine and just 400 miles from the United States, after Ukraine launched drone strikes against strategic aircraft on June 1. A truckload of drones won't get there - there's no road..

🔥 NEW: New footage of the SBU operation "Web" with the full route of the FPV drone: from taking off from a truck with modular house to striking an 🇷🇺 Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber at the Belaya airfield.

In particular, the video shows the drone flying a considerable distance and landing without any obstacles on the territory of the airport, from which smoke from previously hit aircraft is already rising.

Definitely FPV drones.

No video cut out as the drone descends to the target.

Amazing!

Needless to say, it didn't work.

‼️🚫 Russia has not changed its information goals and is trying to manipulate, delay and violate any diplomatic processes and agreements, while imposing through the media that Moscow is “the only one who adheres to the agreements”.

They pretend that there is no ceasefire not because of their unwillingness to stop the war and their intention to attack at the front, in the Sumy region, but because of Ukrainian actions in their rear. Supposedly, they were once going to stop the offensive. The same is true with the exchange now.

Russia’s task is to avoid American sanctions and gain time by making us the culprits of the war. This is a false strategy that is wasting resources on.

Russia started the war, Russia does not want a ceasefire and refuses to do so. The Russians are attacking at the front, the civilians are being killed by the Russians. Similarly, it is the Russians who are kidnapping children and doing everything to prevent the war from ending, because they want all of Ukraine.

The methods of countering this are exclusively forceful - weapons, sanctions. And creativity in operations on their territory.

If there is no counteraction - Europe will get a war on its own territory in the future.
