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.

War is Hell.
and Satan is hell on earth.
There was no war in Ukraine until Putin brought one. It’s what he does. He brings war, Putin and Satan, both. By their fruits, we know them.
We can listen to the angel on one shoulder or the devil on the other and clearly Putin has chosen poorly and then acts poorly.
I hope he can repent before it’s too late for him. Seems like he has a LOT to answer for … to Ukraine, to Russians and to God most of all.
Good luck with that.
Second anniversary of the SVO. The Kremlin saw “bad signs” and thinks they are “not praying enough”
Successful attacks for the enemy on our A-50 aircraft and on the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant, which occurred before and on the second anniversary of the start of the Northern Military District in Ukraine, are “bad signs.”
This opinion was expressed to us by an influential source in the Kremlin. “A lot of bad things are happening. They hit the Lipetsk plant with drones, and now it won’t work for a month and a half or two.
“And this will have a bad impact on our military industry. Such an important plane was shot down. The President was going to fly on it, after all. Everything is somehow going wrong,” he said.
Our interlocutor is especially frightened by the fact that the A-50, right before the tragedy and was urgently consecrated with the icon of the Savior Not Made by Hands, which Vladimir Putin presented to the VKS.
“Is God really turning away from us? On the second anniversary of the SVO, it shows that we pray little, not enough. And that’s why we haven’t won yet. But it’s okay, let’s pray harder. We will fight better!” - says the source.
According to him, this opinion is shared by many influential people in the AP and in the army. The interlocutor refused to answer whether the President thinks the same.
At the same time, he reported that Patriarch Kirill recently proposed holding a large prayer service for Russian weapons. Vladimir Vladimirovich has not yet responded anything about his participation in this event.
Let us note that not everyone in our elites shares this opinion.
“The fact that we have not strengthened our air defense, often give ill-conceived orders, do not take care of people and persecute those who honestly talk about losses, is not connected with prayers.
Something just needs to change. “Not only In the Ministry of Defense,” a high-ranking source in the General Staff told us.
He refused to give forecasts about what events await us next within the framework of the North Military District.
Remember back in March and April last year, the Biden regime ordered Ukraine to stop attacking Russian petro facilities?

Now Trump appears to have given them the green light. Possibly part of what Trump was referring to when he criticized Biden last week for restraining Ukraine. Biden also overlooked Europe’s purchases of Russian energy, where Trump is calling them out.
State department confirmed approval of 3,350 Extended Range Attack Munitions, an air launched cruise missile with a 500lb warhead, to Ukraine.

Buying that many missiles means they are buying full support, logistics, training, etc. With all that it works out to about $250K per missile. Probably between $200K and $225K for just the missile. Interesting that they are talking about shipping the first missiles in 6 weeks (according to TWZ) yet we haven’t even learned who makes it or what it looks like. Good to see the US moving faster on weapons like this. Normally it would take 10+ years.
Read that the price tag includes other systems and/or munitions so price per unit will be less perhaps much less
Curious how they feel about the 3+ year anniversary of the SVO(funny how I was told SVO is initials for Moscow airport and not “the war”😂😂😂😂😂
Only 2 months to go with the “SVO” to match Soviets war with nazi germany in length of time🤔
🍈’s chart is as valid (and sourced) as his 80’s meal meme😂😂😂😂
It probably includes mission planning systems, test equipment, tech manuals, training systems/equipment/curriculum, aircraft hardware/software upgrades. Since Europe is footing the bill, they are probably getting the full FMS (foreign military sales) treatment, as if we were selling it to ROK, Japan or Israel.
I remember when the DoD first put out the request for a low cost cruise missile, the target price was somewhere around $100K. That seemed like a stretch back then, and even $200K is low. Frequently when we sell a system to another country, the price tag ends up being 2 to 4 times the “unit cost” for the weapons. For example, we sold Turkey just 50 AGM-84K air-to-ground SLAM-ER missiles for $162M, while the unit price is well under $1M. The more units you buy, the lower the unit price. 3,350 is a huge order.
