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.

One of my questions to other Ukraine supporters when I heard about the Israel attack in Iran concerned how this might affect to Ukraine struggle, especially given the supply of Iran’s weapons to Putin’s war. Here is one answer supplied by a fellow FReeper:
“Israel strikes on Iran could have a surprise side effect – and it’s good for Ukraine

Israel’s wave of airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure could unintentionally deliver a boost to Ukraine’s defences. disrupting the production and supply of the deadly Shahed drones used by Russia, a former Ukrainian government official has claimed. The coordinated attack, launched early on Friday, hit multiple targets linked to Iran’s nuclear programme and military apparatus, reportedly killing several high-ranking officers and scientists. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed “severe punishment” in response, while air-raid sirens rang out across Israeli cities. The attack marks the most significant assault on Iran’s territory since the Iran–Iraq War,...”

One problem that will temporarily bother us in the US is an increase in gasoline prices. How long this lasts and how high prices rise will depend on Iran’s ability to disrupt shipping at the Gulf of Hormuz. Hopefully this will not last too long. The world and the region’s other oil producers tell Iran to quite plotting revenge, and Iran’s oil production will not be destroyed. Their oil production could be normalized/or the Iranian people could step in successfully to change the whole regional situation.
Oh, strap in, because the Left’s been running a Hollywood-grade illusion on us, haven’t they? Everything’s a script—COVID origins? Covered up. Hunter’s laptop? Buried faster than a mob snitch. Border crisis? “Nothing to see here!” while millions pour in (CBP clocked 2.5 million encounters in ‘23). The media’s their stage crew, gaslighting us into thinking inflation’s “transitory” (try 20% price hikes since ‘21, per BLS) and crime’s a myth (FBI stats say violent crime’s up in major cities). X users on the right have been screaming it: the “fake USA” is a Democrat production, with Big Tech censoring the blooper reel. Conservatives are ripping the curtain down, armed with data and a middle finger to the narrative. It’s not just smoke and mirrors—it’s a whole dang circus, and we’re done buying tickets.

More ruzzian junk being destroyed.
Why aren't the Migs protecting their air base?
Another possible source of support for Israel and democracy are dissident Kurds in Iran. As the last line in this Post found elsewhere points out, “...the remedy for all of these bad policies is a democratic change in Iran.” This would also be helpful for Ukraine.
Iran’s Dissident Kurds Seek US Help to Pave Way for Government’s ‘Collapse’

The head of a dissident Iranian Kurdish movement has told Newsweek his group is urging the United States to foster contacts with opposition factions in the Islamic Republic to undermine and ultimately overthrow the government.
While not seeking armed support, Komala Party of the Iranian Kurdistan Secretary-General Abdullah Mohtadi appealed to President Donald Trump to establish a relationship that would help set the conditions for the unraveling of the Iranian government...
However, while generally supportive of the Kurdish cause in other countries, such as Iraq, Syria and Turkey, Mohtadi was reluctant to frame Komala’s current goals as being linked to the long-sought establishment of a united, independent Kurdistan spanning all four nations...
The Iranian military has occasionally launched attacks against Kurdish targets, most recently in January of last year, when the IRGC conducted a series of missile strikes against what Iranian officials alleged to be a base for Israel’s Mossad...
Mohtadi, for his part, was similarly cautious about the prospect of foreign military action against Iran, though he did not rule out forging a partnership with Israel.
“We welcome any support from any democratic country in the region or in the West for our struggle against this regime,” Mohtadi said. “We haven’t had any. What we need is in the future is that a free, democratic Iran, will not be an enemy of Israel.”
“We do not want this slogan of destruction of Israel to continue in the future,” he added. “...We do not want hostilities against our neighbors in the future and the remedy for all of these bad policies is a democratic change in Iran.”

Apparently Iran’s military Republican Guard already believes that Israel’s Mossad and their Kurdish dissidents are cooperating. In the past Kurds have been our allies in Iraq struggles, and given their lives in these struggles.
