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.

Putin has destroyed Russia’s oil and gas industries, long term.
OilPrice.com (30 June):
“Poland’s refiner Orlen is ending ties with Russian oil as a long-term (12 year) contract with Rosneft expires on June 30, in a move to boost energy security in the entire central European region, the Polish company said on Monday.
The contract with Rosneft, which ended on June 30, 2025, was the final agreement linking Orlen to Russian crude. This contract covered deliveries to Orlen’s refinery in Litvinov in the Czech Republic.
Since March 2025, all of Orlen group’s refineries have been supplied exclusively with crude sourced outside of Russia.
The expiry of the 12-year contract with Rosneft “means that ORLEN – and, by extension, the entire region – is no longer bound by any agreements with Russian entities for the supply of oil,” the Polish refiner said.
Currently, Orlen’s refineries process crude from the Middle East and Persian Gulf, the North Sea, Africa, and both Americas, Fafara said.
“This is what real energy security looks like, the one we promised to Polish citizens and neighbours,” the executive added.
Two months ago, the Czech Republic ended its 60-year-long dependence on Russian oil supply after capacity upgrades on a pipeline from the west.
For the first time ever, the Czech Republic became independent from Russian oil pipeline deliveries via the Druzhba pipeline.
Flows through the Druzhba pipeline were exempted from the EU embargo on imports of Russian crude oil by sea that came into effect on December 5, 2022.
The Czech Republic, however, decided in 2022 to work to free itself of Russian oil supply and began a project to expand the capacity of the Trans Alpine (TAL) pipeline in a project called TAL PLUS. The plan is to boost oil supply to the Czech Republic from Italy.
Czech pipeline operator MERO is now transporting the (non-Russian) crude.”
"There are so many bodies here that it's simply unbearable—it stinks so much. <...> They've been lying here since winter, since spring. And there are hundreds of them, and the number is growing."
In the footage taken in early June 2025 toward Kupyansk in the Oskol River area, not far from the settlement of Kolesnikovka, a russian soldier shows a large number of charred bodies of fallen russian soldiers. According to him, the bodies have been lying here since spring—some, judging by their clothing, since winter. The soldier states that the command is taking no measures to evacuate the bodies, and they have been lying in the forest plantation for a long time.
According to him, the dead were members of the 1st Guards Tank Regiment (military unit 58198), the 15th Motorized Rifle Regiment (military unit 31134) and the 15th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade (military unit 90600).

A pattern of Shadow fleet tankers exploding. This is the fifth this year. Possibly limpet mines (just a theory).
OilPrice.com (30 June):
“An oil tanker has suffered an explosion off Libya’s coast… The ship that carried about 1 million barrels of crude oil sustained a blast on June 27, a spokesperson for operator TMS Tankers told Reuters on Monday.
The tanker had left the Libyan port of Zuetina and was en route to Gibraltar when an explosion occurred in the engine room.
The Vilamoura, a Marshall Islands-flagged tanker, is currently being towed to Greece, with an estimated time of arrival on July 2, according to TMS Tankers. Damage will be assessed upon arrival at a Greek port.
No personnel have been injured and no oil spills or other pollution have been reported so far, according to the vessel operator.
The cause of the explosion is not clear yet, TMS Tankers told Bloomberg on Monday.
The news website speculated that the still unexplained blast at the Vilamoura could fit in a pattern of the past few months, in which tankers that have previously called at Russian ports have suffered mysterious explosions after leaving Russian terminals.
The Vilamoura picked up crude from Kazakhstan at two Russian oil ports in each of the months of April and May, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.
Since the beginning of this year, four vessels, apart from the Vilamoura, have suffered unexplained explosions, maritime risk consultancy company Vanguard Tech told Bloomberg. All four tankers had recently called at a Russian oil port, according to Vanguard Tech.
Following the mysterious explosions aboard several tankers that have called on Russian ports, tanker owners and operators have started checking the hulls of the vessels for mines, Bloomberg reports.”

A Ukrainian pilot was killed and his F-16 fighter jet crashed after Russia launched a huge aerial assault involving hundreds of drones and scores of missiles overnight, the Ukrainian military said on Sunday.
The airman, named as 1st Class Lt. Col. Maksym Ustymenko by the Ukrainian air force, was the third F-16 pilot killed since the Ukrainians began flying the jets last summer, and his plane was the fourth F-16 Ukraine has lost since then.
The air force said Ustymenko “did everything he could to steer the aircraft away from a populated area, but he did not have time to eject.”
Ustymenko’s death is a major loss for Ukraine. Only a small number of the country’s top pilots have been trained to fly F-16s, the most advanced of Ukraine’s fighter jets. The training is highly specialized and takes months to complete.
Depending on storage capacity, oil wells that feed the Druzhba pipeline will have to be shut down.
pootin did that.

The manufacturer has already codified the development and aims to equip every infantryman with magazines of such cartridges.

Similar concept for 9mm.
Works well against snakes.

ETCM...Any idea what is going on here?
The free world owes this young man Maksym Ustymenko, a debt of gratitude for the defense of Europe against the onslaught of the barbarian ruSSian hordes.
WHEN the F will the West close the skies over Ukraine & protect the innocent?
ruSSia 🤬
RIP brave HERO.🫡💛💙💔 pic.twitter.com/xfOKktX0wx— whambam27 (@whambam271) June 29, 2025
Tkachenko reported that Russian forces are conducting “double tap” strikes against emergency responders and using cluster munitions with delayed detonations that threaten both civilians and rescue workers.
ISW has observed Russian officials and milbloggers respond to recent large-scale and deadly Russian strikes against Kyiv City by calling on Russia to intensify its strikes.
Between their persistent use of banned chemical weapons against Ukrainian soldiers and these nightly terror attacks against Ukrainian citizens, the ruzzians have shown the world who and what they really are and removed all doubts about their true nature and intentions.
People think that God punishes us, but more likely what is perceived as punishment is simply a cosmic form of “What goes around comes around”.
Doing evil calls evil to us and the ruzzians are setting themselves up to be brought down low and have done unto them what they are doing to others.
The stupid fools have earned it.
Ukrainian Storm shadows launched just now. Spotted heading east…
Thanks for the ping.
Storm shadow strike on Donetsk.
“After losing the European market and failing to sign a new contract with China, Gazprom has accumulated tens of billions of cubic meters of gas surplus”
It’s not just Russia’s gas industry that is in crisis. The more important oil industry is dying as well.
OilPrice.com (29 June):
“Oil flows on the Transneft pipeline network, which handles 80% of all the oil Russia produces, fell last year and continue to slide in 2025, too, due to the OPEC+ agreement to withhold supply and technological issues at Russia’s oil-producing sites, the pipeline giant said on Friday...
...The oil volumes flowing through the Transneft network have been falling since 2022 and have continued to decline this year, too, Grishanin said...
...Meanwhile, the combined net profits of Russia’s oil and gas companies nearly halved in the first quarter of 2025 from a year earlier, while petroleum revenues for the budget fell with the decline in oil prices in April and May.
The drop in oil prices, the tightening of Western sanctions, and the stronger Russian ruble have combined to weigh on company profitability.
Every third ruble going into Russia’s budget comes from the oil and gas companies.
Russia said at the end of April it expects 24% lower revenues from oil and gas this year compared to earlier estimates, following the oil price crash that began in early April and sank the price of its flagship Urals crude close to the $50 per barrel mark.
In addition, Russia’s National Wealth Fund, a rainy-day reserves fund, saw its liquid assets drop by the equivalent of nearly $6 billion in May, data from the Russian finance ministry showed earlier this month.”
I say again:
Russia’s National Wealth Fund... saw its liquid assets drop by the equivalent of nearly $6 billion in May.”
Liquid assets started this year down to just $35 Billion. A $6 billion per month drop is double what the burn rate has been during the last three years of the war (about $3 Billion per month).
Speeding up as they approach the crash. Hard choices dead ahead.
“People think that God punishes us, but more likely what is perceived as punishment is simply a cosmic form of “What goes around comes around”.
I have heard it stated that no one is sent to hell - they go there.
