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.

Zelensky: “The Russian delegation behaved a little calmer, although still brazenly. Perhaps a few more events are needed, and they will try to behave like people.“

🚨⚡️ Zelensky and his entourage have been moved to secret underground bunkers, fearing the looming Russian strike…
The one who dared to strike deep inside Russia is now hiding like a rat.
And fear has reached not just Kyiv — but every Western capital.

"It's absurd when I come to Ukraine and people with ribbons in the colors of Bandera's flag hug me and thank me. I say we can't accept that, and they shrug their shoulders and ask: 'What do you mean?

One of the drones hit the engine & stopped the train.
Other drones finished off the equipment on the train.
I am confident there will be video.
A seriously dated F-16 defeating Russia’s flagship fighter is a bit embarrassing if true. I wonder if maybe a Swede donated ASC-890 AEW&C aircraft was involved, giving the F-16 an advantage. Or a fixed radar system like Patriot of the TRMS-4D. Recent reports say Ukraine F-16s finally received Link-16 capability, meaning the ASC-890 or fixed radar systems could feed targeting data to the F-16, allowing the Falcon to engage targets with AMRAAM far beyond the capability of its radar, and the Sukhoi wouldn’t even know it was being targeted.
Perhaps we will see an increase in Su-34 shoot downs as well.
I haven’t found a reliable source for the Link-16 yet, so grain of salt, etc.
First rate assault vehicles there, all is well with the SVO😂
The Azot Petrochemical that was struck in Novomoskovsk, Tula region, produced Nitric Acid (among other products from the plant).
Nitric Acid is used to make explosives and rocket fuel.
French to establish Military drone production in Ukraine.
Kyiv Independent reports:
“French automotive and defense companies will produce drones on Ukrainian soil, French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu announced on June 6, Le Monde reported.
“We are going to embark on a completely unprecedented partnership where a large French car company – I won’t name it because it’s up to them to announce it – will join forces with a French defense SME (small to medium-sized enterprise) to equip production lines in Ukraine to be able to produce drones,” Lecornu said, as quoted by the newspaper.
Lecornu did not specify the types of drones to be produced.
He said that, apart from Ukraine, the drones will be also provided “to our own armies… to have ongoing tactical and operational training that reflects the reality.””
Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, June 7, 2025
Any increased economic pressure against Russia — while a positive policy development — by itself is insufficient to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table or change Putin’s theory of victory. The continuation of Western military aid to Ukraine remains pivotal to the execution of a pressure campaign against Russia that could force Putin to recalculate his theory of victory.[9] Putin’s theory of victory rests on the assumption that the Russian military can sustain creeping, incremental advances on the battlefield longer than Ukrainian forces can defend and longer than the West is willing to support Ukraine. Putin’s strategy will very likely continue to guide his decision to refuse to engage substantively with the United States and Ukraine in peace negotiations. Achieving a peace in Ukraine that is acceptable for US interests necessitates sustained Russian battlefield losses or a significant Russian battlefield setback. The United States must continue equipping Ukrainian soldiers as Russia’s battlefield losses remain the key driver of Russia’s current materiel, manpower, and economic problems. Western aid, particularly of weapons systems that only the United States can provide at scale and quickly, would allow Ukrainian forces to better defend their positions, slow Russian advances, and inflict even more serious losses on the Russian military. Higher and even more unsustainable Russian casualty rates on the battlefield, particularly when they are disproportionate to the territorial gains they generate, would risk Putin’s efforts to balance “butter and guns” and maintain domestic support.
