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.

AdmSmith, why would you bring BlueSky links to tFR? You continually do this despite knowing that BS stands against everything Jim believes in? It's disrespectful in the extreme. Please stop immediately and ask to take these BS threads down.

What I want to know is who is filming the murder by a man in a red hoodie of a Ukraine woman riding a US subway train?..Very convenient to have someone there to film this horrific event. And now pro Russia tools are using this for propaganda purposes. More of Russian Special Services using color to stir up racist anger and revenge in the US as per Alexandr Dugin’s advice to Putin? See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

And the specific advice in the last of 20+ bullet points on how to conquer Europe and control most of the world.

“In the Americas
In the Americas, United States, and Canada:

* Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists” to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.[9]
* The Eurasian Project[clarification needed] could be expanded to Central and South America.[9]”

Spread the word on this 1997 work by Dugin, the man now called “Putin’s Brain.” This work is as important for our day, as was Hitler’s book Mein Kampf in the 1930s as a guide to his starting WW2. Read the bullet points in the link to understand Putin’s and Dugin’s plan for our world. We must support Ukraine for our own survival!

I’m beginning to really wonder about this picture of the girl fatally stabbed in the neck. I have watched a person die from such a neck stab. There should be blood everywhere, and spurted out in the vicinity on the surfaces of the subway. Complete fake propaganda piece?

Russian Oil Revenue Crashes To Multi-Year Low

OilPrice.com (11 Sep):

“Russia’s crude and fuel export revenue slumped by $920 million in August compared to July (to $13.51 billion), the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates in its latest monthly report.

The discounts of Russian crude grades widened last month amid the U.S. pressure on India for buying oil from Russia, while Russian refinery production slumped as Ukraine hit several processing facilities with drones...

...“Russia’s oil export revenues remain near five-year lows, reducing tax revenues and exacerbating Russia’s economic slowdown,” Reuters quoted the IEA as saying in the report...

...Exports of crude declined by 30,000 bpd and fuel exports fell by 40,000 bpd.

The discount of Russia’s flagship Urals crude blend for Indian buyers has widened to between $3 and $4 per barrel amid continued pressure from the United States on India to force it to stop buying Russian crude. India continues to buy Russian crude, but at wider discounts compared to minimal discounts in June and July. (more of the monthly revenue loss was due to tariff driven discounting, than reduced volume from kinetic attacks)...

...Due to crippled domestic operating refining capacity, Russia is expected to sharply increase crude oil exports in the coming weeks.”

I never thought I would be saying, “Thank you OPEC2 for helping the Ukraine defense effort.”

EU now looking to accelerate complete ban on Russian energy, especially fossil fuels. Discussing this with the USA in recent days. Putin keeps costing them business.

OilPrice.com (12 Sep):

“The EU could accelerate the phase out of natural gas imports from Russia and end purchases within six to 12 months by replacing it with American LNG, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Reuters on Friday, after communicating the same to EU officials in Brussels on Thursday...

...“On the U.S. side, we could do it faster, and I think it would be good if those dates were moved up even more. I don’t know that that’s going to happen, but that was dialogued,” Wright said, referring to his meeting with EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen.

The EU currently plans to phase out all imports of Russian gas by the end of 2027, under a roadmap to end dependency on Russian energy (https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_25_1131) unveiled in May this year.

(That) roadmap calls for the EU to stop all imports of Russian gas by the end of 2027 by improving the transparency, monitoring, and traceability of Russian gas across the EU markets. New contracts with suppliers of Russian gas will be prevented and spot contracts (for immediate payment) will be stopped by the end of 2025.

“We are particularly looking at phasing out Russian fossil fuels faster,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in the 2025 State of the Union Address on Wednesday”

The map if accurate clearly shows that the launch sites were all outside of Belarus, but for some sites, a flight over Belarus is the shortest route to Poland.

“I have watched a person die from such a neck stab. There should be blood everywhere, and spurted out”

Spurting from severed arteries (e.g. carotid), flowing from severed veins (e.g. jugular). After she is on the ground for a moment, a large pool of blood flows from under the divider.

Send more Drones! Good hits last night.

Kyiv Independent (12 Sep):

“Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) drones struck Primorsk, Russia’s largest oil-loading port on the Baltic Sea, overnight on Sept. 12, a source in the agency told the Kyiv Independent.

Primorsk in Leningrad Oblast serves as a key hub for Russia’s “shadow fleet” of aging tankers used to avoid sanctions, the source said. Roughly 60 million tons of oil pass through the port every year, bringing Russia roughly $15 billion, the source added.

After the Ukrainian drone strike, fires broke out at one of the vessels and a pumping station, forcing the suspension of oil shipments, according to the source. This could allegedly cost Russia up to $41 million a day.

SBU drones also successfully struck three oil pumping stations that are part of a pipeline system funneling crude to the Ust-Luga port terminal in Leningrad Oblast, the source claimed.

Primorsk lies roughly 100 kilometers (60 miles) from St. Petersburg and over 900 kilometers (550 miles) north of the Ukrainian border.

The statement comes after Russian officials and media reported a large-scale drone attack targeting Leningrad Oblast, Moscow, and other areas overnight on Sept. 12.

Russian air defenses intercepted 221 Ukrainian drones across the country, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed the morning after the strike.

Residents of Leningrad Oblast reportedly said the attack was one of the most massive strikes on the region since the start of the full-scale war in 2022.

Around 30 drones were shot down over Leningrad Oblast, regional Governor Alexander Drozdenko said...

...The drone threat in the region forced St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport to shut down — an increasingly common procedure amid intensifying Ukrainian drone strikes. Nearly 50 flights have been disrupted or canceled due to the closure.

Drones also targeted the Russian capital. At least nine Ukrainian drones have been shot down near Moscow, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said...

...Russian Telegram channels, citing resident accounts, reported explosions in the communities of Mozhaysk and Dedovsk in Moscow Oblast, located just west of the outskirts of the capital.

Another wave of drones attacked the Russian city of Smolensk, according to officials and local residents...

...Smolensk residents reported explosions in the city. In footage posted to social media, eyewitnesses claimed that the drones targeted a nearby Lukoil facility. Video shows smoke and flames rising from a large fire at an undisclosed site...

...The Russian Defense Ministry claimed that 85 drones were downed over Bryansk Oblast, 42 over Smolensk Oblast, 28 over Leningrad Oblast, 18 over Kaluga Oblast, 14 over Novgorod Oblast, and nine over the Moscow and Oryol oblasts.

Drones were also shot down over Belgorod, Rostov, Tver, Pskov, Tula, and Kursk oblasts, the ministry said.”

Russian Central Bank cuts rates one point, to 17%. Inflation remains high, and could surge, if oil revenue were to crash, and money printing accelerate further.

Russia is now a net food importer. Putin remains a Master Strategist.

Kyiv Independent (12 Sep):

“The Russian Central Bank announced on Sept. 12 that it had cut its key interest rate for the third time this year, lowering it from 18% to 17%...

...According to the Central Bank, current price growth indicators have “remained largely unchanged,” while the economy continues to return to a path of “balanced growth.”

“In recent months, lending growth has accelerated. Inflation expectations remain high,” the statement read.

The move comes days after German Gref, the head of Russia’s biggest bank, Sberbank, said that the Central Bank’s key interest rate would need to drop closer to 12% to create “hope for an economic recovery.”

Most analysts expected the Central Bank to slash the rate to 16%, the BBC’s Russian service reported.”

Today, September 12, the UN Security Council is holding an emergency meeting over violations of Poland’s airspace by Russian drones.

Also today, Russia and Belarus are launching their Zapad-2025 military exercises, which will run through September 16.

If you want to see the blood, you can see it see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f1TA-ASQYE

I don’t recommend watching it. It is horrible.

Bottom line, it is not a fake. it is from the train’s security cameras.

Russian militarism falling out of fashion?

https://caliber.az/en/post/army-of-russia-brand-to-shut-all-stores-amid-financial-struggles

The iconic Russian casualwear brand "Army of Russia" is set to close all 35 of its retail outlets, with remaining inventories—including belts, military rations, khaki trousers, and other merchandise—being sold off at inflated prices.

Journalistic sources attribute the closures to the products’ persistent “unprofitability,” leading to the cessation of operations at stores located in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, and Engels. Alongside the retail shutdown, production and the development of new collections have been discontinued, Caliber.Az reports, citing Russian media.

The flagship store, situated opposite the US Embassy on Novinsky Boulevard in Moscow, has already removed its signage, symbolizing the brand’s imminent exit from the market.

“Army of Russia” holds the distinction of being the first Russian clothing brand to fuse casual fashion with a distinct military aesthetic. The label was managed by AO “Voentorg” until this March, when its licensing agreement with the Ministry of Defence expired.

In a related legal matter, Vladimir Pavlov, the head of “Voentorg”, has been under criminal investigation since summer 2024 for allegedly embezzling 400 million rubles ($4,7 million) through government contracts related to military supplies. In July, a court extended his detention amid ongoing proceedings."

Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini sharply criticized Macron in response to the proposal to send Italian troops to support Kiev

"Italian soldiers in Ukraine? Absolutely not. If Emmanuel Macron wants it so much, let him go there himself. Put on a helmet, take a rifle, and go to Ukraine alone," he said.

France responded by summoning the Italian ambassador Emanuela Alessandri for explanations. The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs called Salvini's statements unacceptable and harmful to the trust between the countries.

Salvini is not the first to speak out loudly against the militarization of Europe in general and Macron's short-sighted policy in particular.

BANNON: Germany has no manpower. The UK admits it can’t fight. France talks big but is broke. Poland stayed home. And now Russian hackers have leaked that Ukraine has 1.7M casualties, 625k this year alone. More U.S. money won’t bring peace; it just means more dead Ukrainians.

"Nazi woman": this is how Ursula von der Leyen was greeted in Bulgaria

Ursula von der Leyen planned to visit a military factory in Sopot today, but the entrance was blocked by concerned citizens. The country's authorities kept the exact time of her visit to the military factory in Sopot strictly secret.

"If the European Union is preparing for war with Russia, let Ursula come and say so here. More than 80% of Bulgarians do not consider Russia an enemy, but 'they see the enemy in the EU's policies, they see the enemy in Ursula, they see the enemy in NATO's policies,'" said Kostadin Kostadinov, leader of the "Vazrazhdane" party.
