Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine (2 year anniversary)
ORYX ^ | Since February 24, 2022 and daily | ORYX

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.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, July 11, 2025

Ukrainian intelligence assesses that Russian forces are unlikely to realize the Kremlin's goal of seizing the entirety of Donetsk Oblast by the end of 2025, which is consistent with ISW’s ongoing assessment of Russia's offensive capabilities. Ukraine's Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Head Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov assessed on July 11 that Russia's goal of seizing all of Donetsk Oblast by the end of 2025 is “not realistic.”[11] Budanov stated that the Russian military command has also tasked Russian forces with advancing into Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and establishing another 10-kilometer-deep buffer zone in the oblast. Ukrainian Presidential Office Deputy Head Colonel Pavlo Palisa stated on June 5 that Russia intends to seize and occupy the full extent of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts by September 1, 2025.[12] The Economist assessed on July 9 that it would take Russian forces until February 2028 to seize the remainder of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhia oblasts (which Russia has illegally annexed) at their current rate of advance.[13] Russian efforts to seize Donetsk Oblast, enter Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, and establish a 10-kilometer-deep buffer zone will likely exacerbate existing constraints in the Russian military by further extending the already degraded Russian Southern and Central groupings of forces that have been engaged in near constant combat operations in Donetsk Oblast since October 2023. ISW continues to assess that Russian forces are taking very high casualties in return for disproportionately small gains in pursuit of their political and territorial ambitions.[14] It remains unclear on what basis the Russian military command imagined that it could seize the remainder of Donetsk Oblast by September 2025.

Kremlin officials continue to justify the Kremlin's ongoing censorship efforts and appear to be seizing on Russia's hypercontrolled information space to push the Kremlin's informal state ideology. Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russian business magazine Expert on July 11 that the “situation that [Russia is] in” geopolitically and in relation to the increasing speed of information necessitates military censorship and that the Russian government is “justified” in its ongoing efforts to eliminate media outlets that are critical of the Kremlin.[15] Peskov praised the Russian media's increase in positive “patriotic” content that generates feelings of loyalty to and pride in Russia. Peskov stated that he believes that the “patriotic” trend will continue and that the Kremlin will take into account the “mistakes” of the past when outlets, such as Russian opposition outlet Meduza, were allowed to criticize Russia broadly. Peskov stated that Russia will demand a “softer” informational policy in the future and that this will allow a number of “neutral” outlets to emerge. The Kremlin is unlikely to take an impartial view of the neutrality of media outlets in the future, however. Peskov stated in September 2024 that Russian media will shift to “freedom of information” if Russia emerges from this period of “acute inflammation,” referring to its war in Ukraine and the geopolitical situation.[16] The refusal to acknowledge that Russia is, in fact, engaged in a major war is part of the Kremlin's general efforts to shape and distort the Russian information space.

Peskov’s recent statements signal that the Kremlin has not abandoned its wartime efforts to censor and centralize control over the Russian information space and is setting conditions to continue censorship efforts post-war. The Kremlin has been engaged in a wide censorship campaign aimed at controlling the narrative of the full-scale invasion since 2022. Russian officials have limited access to foreign websites and platforms, attempted to eliminate access to opposition media, and arrested administrators of Telegram channels that were publicly critical of Russian political and military leadership over the last three years.[17] The Kremlin appears to be setting conditions for long-term control of the information space as it attempts to leverage social media and traditional news outlets to create future generations less likely to question Kremlin decision-making and narratives. The Kremlin is currently establishing an informal state ideology that promotes Russian nationalism, perpetuates the idea that the West unfairly and unjustly seeks to collapse the Russian state, and mythologizes veterans of the Russian military.[18] The Kremlin's efforts to encourage “patriotic” media are only one avenue through which the Kremlin is encouraging military service and loyalty to the Russian government throughout Russian society amid ongoing efforts to expand extracurricular youth military-political organizations and military education programs in Russian schools.[19]

Russian and Belarusian officials plan to develop a domestically trained artificial intelligence (AI) bot, likely to consolidate control over the information space within the Union State framework. State Secretary of the Union State Sergei Glazyev, a former Russian economic official, announced on July 11 that Russian and Belarusian officials plan to create an AI bot based on “traditional values.”[95]

On 11th of July 2025 at 14:38 in Leipzig, Germany successfully landed Antonov AN-124 Ruslan UR-82073 flying from Kyiv, Ukraine after long time on the ground and will help other five Antonov AN-124 aircrafts of Antonov Airlines with air freights of oversized and extra heavy loads. Base on Flightradar24 data the flight number was ADB9154 with live tracking from Ukraine - Poland border.

Successfull flight of civil cargo aircraft Antonov AN-124 Ruslan in Ukraine air space inspires all Ukrainian aviators that the skies of Ukraine will soon be open! Below just illustrative video from 2020 of the take-off of Antonov AN-124 Ruslan UR-82072 - younger brother of Antonov AN-124 Ruslan UR-82073.

Just one more aircraft Antonov AN-124 UR-82009 of Antonov Airlines left in Kyiv which was damaged in 2022 and now there is a great hope that we will see her in the air too!

Кремлевская табакерка

We are bombing Kyiv and other cities of Ukraine well, but there are questions about the front. Putin again expressed dissatisfaction with the advance of our army

The Western press wrote that our army is advancing slowly at the front, and that Russia will allegedly need 89 years to completely liberate Ukraine. Enemy propagandists, as often happens with them, exaggerate the problems and lie. But, unfortunately, at the same time they confirm what we wrote. We reported: Vladimir Putin several times expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of our advance at the front. And he demanded serious victories from the military. Now the situation is getting worse.

“Vladimir Vladimirovich is pleased with how we are striking at the Ukrainian rear, we are bombing Kiev and other cities well. He even praised Belousov for such strikes. But the president is not satisfied with the pace of advance at the front. And now they can give Ukraine more Western weapons, the situation will worsen. Plus, no matter how hard the Defense Ministry tries, the army often recruits low-quality personnel on contract, many new servicemen die or are out of action in the first days at the front. This also does not contribute to our advancement. That is why the nasty Western press is happy,” a source in the Kremlin told us. According to him, Putin is expecting big victories and, at a minimum, several liberated cities. Otherwise, in a month and a half or two, he may take drastic steps. The first of these will most likely be the resignation of Valery Gerasimov. As we wrote, Andrei Mordvichev may be appointed Chief of the General Staff instead. The president may also take a number of other serious measures. Sources do not want to say what exactly.

The daughter of a general from Ust-Kut was given 6 years in prison for her anti-war position

An outrageous story happened to a native of our city and the daughter of the former head of the city police, Natalia Doroshenko. Employees of the “Center E” of the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs for the Irkutsk Region falsified a criminal case against her based on harmless comments on the social network VKontakte. The sentences “ I am against the war”, “they (Ukrainians) are defending their homeland” and the like became the basis for initiating a criminal case against her under Article 205.2. of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Public calls for terrorist activity, public justification of terrorism or propaganda of terrorism” using the media or electronic or information and telecommunications networks, including the Internet.

“ The Kremlin is currently establishing an informal state ideology that promotes Russian nationalism, perpetuates the idea that the West unfairly and unjustly seeks to collapse the Russian state, and mythologizes veterans of the Russian military”

Reminds me of the commercial “if you have more than 10,000 in credit card debt it’s not your fault….”

As far as commercial is concerned, not your fault? Did someone force you to charge that amount? As for Russia, you need no help from “the west” to collapse your country, you have pitin to thank for that.

Back to the original narrative that Russia is self sufficient…., they are now importing all kinds of weapons, ammunition, food, equipment, parts and manpower, and can only export petro products, death and destruction.

Well done pitin

“he (Putin) may take drastic steps. The first of these will most likely be the resignation of Valery Gerasimov”

Heart attack? Plane crash? Suicide?

Replacing him likely triggers a cascade of purging his cronies when the new guy comes in, like happened with Shoigu.

“Russian nationalism, perpetuates the idea that the West unfairly and unjustly seeks to collapse the Russian state, and mythologizes veterans of the Russian military.[18”

Although it appears western countries made efforts to reassure Russia that they might be accepted into NATO, and could conduct normal business with the west, there were problems with that. I feel certain that the developing Russian oligarchy did not welcome western competition, especially if it was honest and competent. It is unlikely the Russian military would want the western powers and militaries poking around in their military situation either. There was simply tooooo much incompetence, bribery, and theft there to be exposed, so for both their own safety and that of the nation, no sane Soviet military leader would want to have their situation exposed to reality. Today that approach is killing and destroying the Russian military on a daily basis. I hope our current president is as smart as Ronald Reagan and can or has figured that out.

In one month since the big Russian event of 6/12, they now have an additional 32,000+ casualties, mostly probably deaths given their combat lack of tactics. So, how is their goal of 30,000 volunteers enlisted per month working out for them?

🚀⚠️ Ukraine is developing interceptors for Kinzhal and Tsirkon missiles, says Deputy Head of the OP Palisa

https://x.com/Maks_NAFO_FELLA/status/1943667261820055889

I believe these missiles will be compatible with the Patriot systems.

Perhaps PAC-3 clones built under license.

In my previous comment I had intended to include the words, “after 1991.” It was after Alexandr Dugin printed his book Foundations of Geopolitics in 1997 that it soon became apparent that Putin was turning away from cooperating with the West. Dugin was subsequently labeled as “Putin’s Brain.”

I am currently going through old newspapers, clipping items of interest, filing, and throwing out the rest. (Offspring’s please that I not leave them this huge collection of old newspapers, siigh.) Here is a pertinent quote from Dec. 2005. * “Illarionov, a senior economic advisor to President Vladimir Putin, worked for years to get the government out of the Russian economy. This year he stood by as the Kremlin did the opposite, consolidating its control of the energy sector and other strategic industries.
* In a broad attack on the new policy Wednesday, Illarionov said Russia was now dominated by big murky state-owned companies, its democracy was in decline and a ‘neoimperialistic’ Kremlin was using natural gas as a ‘energy weapon’ against its neighbors.” [original source, WSJ]

Since the next paragraph indicates that the people ask, “Why does Putin put up with him”. One answer was “Putin gets the truth from him, without the sycophancy.” My own thought is to wonder what ever became of him—suicide, window flying, or old age retirement?

Thank you for an interesting follow-up on this economist.

As I mentioned I am going through old newspapers and bunches of unsorted clippings. I have started files on Ukraine, Russia, Iran and Iraq, and plan to use some of this historical information in future comments. I am currently looking at newspapers from 2003 to 2006, and lots of clippings from 2009 to 2014. Every stack or box I look through has a different collection of years. Kind of like mining—a lot of work, but you never know what little gem you might find.

A new stream of (unspecified - Surprise!) Deep Strike weapons coming to the fight this month - built in Ukraine, paid for by Germany:

Kyiv Independent (12 July):

“Ukraine will begin receiving hundreds of domestically produced long-range weapon systems by the end of July under a German-financed agreement, German Major General Christian Freuding told the German ZDF news channel on July 11.

The weapons will be supplied in a “high triple-digit quantity,” he said, referring to a deal between Ukraine’s Defense Ministry and local arms producers that Berlin agreed to fund in late May.

“We need weapons systems that can reach far into the depth of Russian territory — to hit depots, command centers, airfields and aircraft,” Freuding said, adding that Germany is “ready to provide such systems.”

The general, who heads the Ukraine task force at the German Defense Ministry, did not specify what kind of long-range systems Germany is financing...

...”There will be no restrictions on long-range weapons,” Merz said at the time (28 May, when funding was announced). “Ukraine will be able to fully defend itself and also strike military targets outside the territory of Ukraine.”

Merz described the deal as “the beginning of a new form of military-industrial cooperation between our countries.””

Putin began planning the invasion of Georgia, in 1999.

ON THE EFFECTIVE USE OF PROXY WARFARE - by Andrew Lewis Peek, May 2021, Dissertation for PhD

CHAPTER THREE: RUSSIA AND UKRAINE, 2013-2016 [pg 118 of 446 in the PDF file] "This chapter will examine Russia’s use of proxy forces in Ukraine from the beginning of demonstrations in Kiev’s Maidan Square on November 21, 2013 to the dissipation of the conflict in 2016. Though it covers all the high-intensity periods of the war, this chapter is focused on the fighting in Donbas and not Russia’s takeover of Crimea."

Book: How Ukraine Lost Donbas [Ukrainian lingo - have not found translation]

There is a complex of civil wars between socialists and their varieties of socialism - all of which are circling the inevitability of socialism: decay, deception, depravation, destruction. That, blended with ancient and old family, local, regional enmities - balkanization, resentment, vendetta - perpetual "you!" vs "you!" Hatfieds and McCoys (sounds like the FR flame wars) <-- the usual Russian agitprop, stirring up trouble abroad by using the global "union of socialism" tools set.
