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.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the Russian strikes injured 44 civilians across Ukraine, primarily targeted Kyiv City, and lasted over 7.5 hours.[3] Kyiv City Military Administration Head Timur Tkachenko reported that Russian strikes killed two civilians and injured 20 others in Kyiv City.[4] Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko reported and published footage showing that Russian forces struck Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers building within Kyiv City for the first time since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.[5] ISW continues to assess that Russia's ongoing large-scale strikes underscore Ukraine's need for continued Western support for Ukraine's interceptor drone program and for the continued supply of Western air defense systems, especially US-provided Patriot systems.[6]
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) attempted to deny that Russian forces struck civilian infrastructure across Ukraine or the Cabinet of Ministers building within Kyiv City. The Russian MoD claimed on September 7 that Russian forces struck drone facilities and airbases in Ukraine.[7] The Russian MoD claimed that Russian forces struck two industrial enterprises on the outskirts of Kyiv City but did not conduct any strikes against any other objects within Kyiv City. Several Russian milbloggers amplified the MoD’s narrative that Russian forces did not strike the Cabinet of Ministers building within Kyiv City.[8] The Kremlin has often denied that Russian forces hit civilian targets in Ukraine despite ample footage, imagery, and Ukrainian official reports to the contrary.[9] ISW continues to assess that Russian strikes are increasingly and disproportionately impacting civilian areas in its dramatically larger-scale strike packages of recent months.[10]
Russian drone strike packages against Ukraine will likely continue to expand as long as Russia is able to increase its long-range strike drone production. Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Spokesperson Colonel Andriy Yusov stated on September 5 that Russia can currently produce 2,700 Shahed-type strike drones per month and an unspecified “significant” number of decoy drones.[11] The GUR indicated in June 2025 that Russia could produce an average of 170 Shahed-type strike and decoy drones per day (about 5,100 per month) and planned to increase production to 190 drones per day (about 5,700 per month) by the end of 2025.[12] Ukrainian officials have previously warned that Russia intends to increase its strike packages to include over 1,000 drones per day in Fall 2025, and Russia's use of over 800 drones in the September 6 to 7 strike package is a significant increase toward this goal.[13] Russia's strike packages against Ukraine will only continue to increase in size as long as Russia is able to continue expanding its Shahed-type drone production unimpeded. More frequent larger-scale Russian strikes will threaten to devastate Ukraine's electrical grid and energy infrastructure ahead of and during the coming winter season.
Russia is continuing to expand its long-range strike drone production in part due to support from the People's Republic of China (PRC). Russia has significantly scaled up its domestic production of Shahed-type drones, including Gerans (Russian Shahed analogues), Garpiyas (Shahed analogues with PRC components), and Gerberas (decoy Shahed variants).[14] Russia primarily produces Shahed-type drones at the Alabuga Special Economic Zone (ASEZ) in the Republic of Tatarstan and recently opened a new production line for Shahed-type drones at the Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant where Russia already produces Garpiya drones.[15] Russia has recently significantly invested in developing the ASEZ’s drone factory; supporting the plant's infrastructure; and recruiting women, children, and foreigners to work at the ASEZ.[16] Russia is increasingly relying on the PRC for its drone components and would not be able to sustain the pace or mass of its Shahed-type drone production without these components. A recent investigation by the Ukraine-based, open-source intelligence organization Frontelligence Insight found that the ASEZ alone depends on the PRC for at least 41 components to produce its long-range strike drones, including engines, electronic and mechanical components, batteries, antennas, radios, carbon fire, carburetors, and telecommunications components.[17] Frontelligence Insight assessed that many of the drones that Russia claims to have produced domestically are only assembled domestically given the high number of PRC-produced parts in these drones. Russia also opened a dedicated logistics center at the ASEZ to receive and process cargo trains directly from the PRC, likely to streamline the delivery of PRC-produced components for drone production at the ASEZ.[18]
Russia's latest strikes against Ukraine further demonstrate that Russian President Vladimir Putin is disinterested in ending his war in Ukraine and stopping the killing. Russia has consistently intensified its strike packages and capabilities since the beginning of its full-scale invasion in 2022 and has notably accelerated its strikes campaign following the Ukraine-Russia bilateral talks in Istanbul on May 15, 2025, launching 16 combined strikes consisting of over 400 air targets since the talks.[19] Russia's September 6 to 7 strike is the fifth combined strike of over 500 drones and missiles since the August 15 US-Russia summit in Alaska. Putin has repeatedly rejected Ukrainian and US efforts to establish ceasefires on the battlefield and continues to insist that Russia cannot agree to a ceasefire until there is a peace agreement.[20] Putin has also made no effort to prepare Russian society or the Russian information space for an end to the war that results in less than Ukrainian capitulation to all of Russia's original war demands.[21] A Russian milblogger claimed on September 7 that the size of the latest overnight strike demonstrates Russia's “unyielding will” and shows that Russia continues to “politely ignor[e]” US President Donald Trump's repeated condemnation of Russian strikes.[22] The milblogger claimed that negotiations are entering a period of “empty talk.”[23]
Ukraine continued its attacks against military and oil infrastructure in Russia on the night of September 6 to 7. The Ukrainian General Staff reported on September 7 that Ukrainian forces, including elements of the Unmanned Systems Forces (USF), struck an oil pumping station near Naitopovichi, Bryansk Oblast, causing a fire near the pumping station and storage tanks.[24] The Ukrainian General Staff reported that this oil production station is part of the Steel Horse oil pipeline, which has a pumping capacity of 10.5 million tons in an unspecified time frame, likely annually. Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces Commander Major Robert “Magyar” Brovdi reported that the facility is important for the transport of petroleum products to Russia from Belarusian refineries, especially the Mozyr and Novopolatsk refineries.[25] The Ukrainian General Staff and Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SSO) reported on September 7 that the SSO and a pro-Ukrainian resistance group conducted an unspecified attack against the Ilsky Oil Refinery in Krasnodar Krai.[26] The Ukrainian General Staff reported that the Ilsky Oil Refinery processes 6.42 million tons of oil annually.[27] The Ukrainian SSO reported that the attack destroyed the ELOU-AT-6 oil complex, which is the Ilsky Refinery's primary oil refining complex.[28] Geolocated footage published on September 7 shows a smoke plume rising from the Ilsky Oil Refinery.[29] The Krasnodar Krai operational headquarters claimed on September 7 that drone debris fell on the Ilsky Oil Refinery and caused a fire at one of the processing units.[30] The Ukrainian General Staff also reported on September 7 that Ukrainian forces successfully struck Russian military warehouses in Kursk Oblast but are clarifying the damage.[31]
In 19906 I was pinging people I like. In 19917 I was responding to you. Sorry I hurt your feelings.
Each one is a BlueSky member
The left will come gunning for Fallon demanding that he becomes more outspoken against MAGA.
LOL!! 😂🤣😅
You probably would be one of last bitches to hurt my feelings, Karen.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ukraine has lost 1.7 million servicemen during the special military operation, these are killed and missing in action.
The information comes from the database of the Ukrainian General Staff, which was hacked by killnet.

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.
Then what is stopping pitin from taking Lyman?😂
why haven't you BlueSky folks mentioned Charlie Kirk?
Have you ever heard anything about Charlie Kirk having an opinion or a position about the Ukraine situation?
🇺🇦🇷🇺🇺🇸 Charlie Kirk stated six months ago that the war in Ukraine benefits the Ukrainian ruling class.
"You have to ask a very simple question: who benefits from peace, and who benefits from war? The people of Ukraine benefit from peace. The people of America benefit from peace.… pic.twitter.com/eHXshoEzLK— Lord Bebo (@MyLordBebo) September 10, 2025
Charlie Kirk stated six months ago that the war in Ukraine benefits the Ukrainian ruling class.
"You have to ask a very simple question: who benefits from peace, and who benefits from war? The people of Ukraine benefit from peace. The people of America benefit from peace. Humanity benefits from peace. But then who benefits from war? The military-industrial complex, the oligarchs of Ukraine's ruling class," Kirk said at the time.
"We should resume diplomatic channels with the Russian Federation. There is a temptation to simply say that Russia is a great enemy of the USA. We made them enemies ourselves. Instead, we should try to drive a wedge between the Russian and Chinese communist marriage. The Russo-Ukrainian war was largely unnecessary. A peace agreement was on the table. Russia became our enemy because it was an ideological enemy. That regime fell, and there is no reason to keep them as our enemies. When the Soviet Union collapsed, it took many very false arguments to keep Russia as an enemy of the USA.”
Because this thread is about Ukraine not Charlie Kirk, but you know that.
Plenty of threads about Charlie Kirk, curious did you ever attend any of his events, I did. Absolutely amazing event and man.
Never heard you mention Charlie Kirk till now or for that matter plight of Ukrainians in the US till recently???,
Troll much
🍈😂🤡
“Tomorrow, troop losses will be more than 1.1 million!”
About 300K Russian casualties so far this year - a rising trend.
Seems like high personnel losses today, and low Artillery losses. I’ll be watching to see if those are trends.
Mud season will also change things in a few weeks.
I'm with Russia on this one.Russia has declared it will seize the financial assets of International Satanists and place them on a terror watchlist.
The Russian government views Satanism as a dangerous ideology that justifies evil, claiming its crackdown aims to protect faith, family, and tradition.
