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.

In the fall of 2022, 42-year-old Alexander was mobilized and sent to Ukraine. His unit was driven to the “front line” in “meat assaults” by commanders using blocking detachments that fired in case of retreat, he claims. In August 2023, Alexander was able to desert and left Russia, but he is still haunted by nightmares and anxiety about his future.
On January 27, he was sent first to Rostov, then to the Luhansk region. – There were many abandoned houses where we settled. There were very few people, especially in the villages closer to the border with Russia. Then we were transferred to Belogorovka. The situation there was simply depressing – bombed-out houses, five-story buildings with gaping holes, destroyed by shells. We stayed there for about two weeks, then we were transferred to positions where we built dugouts a kilometer from the front line. Then the evacuation of the wounded and the dead was added to our duties. There were a lot of losses, even during evacuations and during the construction of fortifications. There was not a week without “two-hundredths” and “three-hundredths” (wounded).
Many died from shrapnel wounds as a result of drone attacks, Alexander says. - People were torn apart - someone got hit in the head, an eye was knocked out. We went in platoons to evacuate the plant near Belogorovka, which they kept trying to take. Only corpses, craters, - he continues.
According to him, there was very fierce fighting for a small section of the road, the “Storm Z” groups (sabotage and assault units of the Russian army, formed mainly from prisoners. - S.R.) , constantly entering the positions, did not stay there for more than five minutes. The most unlucky were those who ended up on the front line.
– There was a battalion commander, call sign “Bely”. You could say he wiped out his Luhansk guys on the front line – with constant assaults , especially when they were taking the local filtration station. He killed everyone, and eventually got to our guys. They were evacuating the wounded, and he wanted to send them to storm. The first time he succeeded – the guys didn't know what was what yet. The second time he shot them in the legs with a machine gun. I had a connection with the first line, and I heard him talking, or rather, just yelling – an inadequate person. And they didn't allow us to bomb the water filtration station, attack it with tanks or anything heavy, because, according to rumors, this Bely either had investments in it, or was promised it. Because of this – constant assaults.
Alexander explains that there was also a kind of penal battalion besides “Storm Z” - simply “Storm”.
- These are the same death row inmates. You could end up there for anything: drinking, insubordination, failure to follow orders. There was one who filed a resignation report, which he didn't even write himself – the political officer did it for him. I don't know what they had a disagreement about, but the man didn't drink, and “Storm” was short five men – and he was the one they took. As a result, as the paramedic told me, he was lying in a coma in a hospital in St. Petersburg, with half his face made of plastic. The mobilized men were basically treated like slaves. Upon arrival, one company of our battalion was immediately assigned to “Storm” - and during the first assault, 37 people out of 110 remained
- No matter how Russia starts a war, there is a shortage of personnel, equipment, and gear. And the officers drank, and they continue to drink, and they abused the soldiers there, and they abuse them here. The command - they were cattle then, and they are cattle now. Nothing has changed - they treat soldiers like meat, except that they didn't openly "zero" them back then, - he says.

In just 9 days, Russia has successfully arranged for 10,000 more men to leave the Russian work force as dead and wounded casualties of Putin’s grand “war.” It is easy to have an unemployment rates below 3% when more than 2,000,000 Russians, mostly men, have fled the country, been killed, or are severely wounded.
It is interesting that Putin now feels it is necessary to have more skilled immigrants in the country to make up the difference. I wonder how low the US unemployment rates will go as all the illegal immigrants here who have succeeded in getting jobs and paying our taxes are carted off or frightened into leaving. A recent figure said these immigrants pay over $600 billion in taxes. That amount is over three quarters of our very large national defense budget. If they are all booted out, and more women have to stop work and stay home to care for children as fewer childcare workers are available, consider how much more taxes will NOT be collected. The US birth rate continued to decrease, despite draconian anti abortion laws in some states cause an increase in maternal mortality. One state even decided it had gone too far in it’s restrictions and decided to allow removal of a fetus growing in a fallopian tube rather than in the uterus. This ectopic pregnancy is potentially fatal to the mother, and the fetus cannot be saved. In addition, if our President succeeds in getting more businesses to move back to the US, where will they find the workers they need. There is a lot to be learned from observing the mistakes in Putin’s government. I hope our Congresscritters are watching.
In response, Iran’s ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani urged the UN Security Council to intervene and voiced concern over possible US involvement.

In basic truth, from the position of Washington DC politicians, both the democrats and republicans lost in the 2024 election.
Washington DC well understands, candidate Donald Trump defeated the republican, Ron DeSantis, and candidate Trump defeated the democrat candidate, Kamala Harris.
Forget the labels, that is what happened.
As the second term of President Trump continues, the republican party will show increasingly obvious opposition to all of the policies and results coming from the MAGA agenda that Trump represents.
In the background of our political dynamic the Republican apparatus is already having conversations about what comes next, after the abhorred MAGA infection identified as President Trump is removed.
When we ask ourselves why President Trump’s agenda hasn’t been codified by congressional action, the honest answer is, because the MAGA policy is not supported by the Republicans in congress.
Nothing about this dynamic is likely to change. The professional republican politicians are simply wearing masks right now, and there are certain times when those masks slip.
It has always been thus….
