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.

I seldom read them, to ever know how they have aged.
I skip right over, as soon as I detect it is from him.
First , and as usual, you didn’t answer my question
Why hasn’t Jim banned BS, if it so bad as you say, (I wouldn’t know I don’t go there) as he has banned other sources and sites?
Second, BS,X, YouTube all have anti- American content, ban them all???
Lastly I have no idea their political take, not subscribed, but what I see posted here are generally videos of actions happening in the war like Russian refineries being hit by “falling debris”, failed Russian attacks, ……

Russia is next up, in Trump’s sights.
Kyiv Independent (13 Oct):
“U.S. President Donald Trump said on Oct. 13 that he plans to focus on Russia’s war against Ukraine after establishing a peace deal between Israel and Hamas.
The statement comes as peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv remain stalled following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s effective dismissal of direct negotiations with President Volodymyr Zelensky — an initiative that Trump personally backed.
“It would be great if we could make a peace deal with (Iran)... First, we have to get Russia done,” Trump said during his speech in Knesset, Israel’s legislature. “Let’s focus on Russia first.””

Time no longer on Russia’s side, EU diplomacy chief says during Kyiv visit
Kyiv Independent (13 Oct):
“Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat, arrived in Kyiv on Oct. 13 for discussions with Ukrainian officials on Europe’s financial and military support for the war-torn country.
The talks will also concern Ukraine’s energy sector and “holding Russia accountable for its war crimes,” Kallas said on X...
...Later in the day, Kallas announced that the EU has pledged an initial 10 million euros ($11.5 million) to set up a special tribunal to prosecute Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, alongside another 6 million euros ($7 million) to support Ukrainian children deported by Russia and victims of sexual violence.
“The EU has already mobilized 800 million euros ($930 million) to support Ukraine this winter,” Kallas said at a joint press conference with Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.
“We are working on an extra 100 million euros ($120 million) for generators, shelters, and cold-weather gear.”
Sybiha, in turn, highlighted European military support for Ukraine under the NATO-led Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) program, which allows allies to purchase U.S. arms for Kyiv...
...NATO allies have allocated over $2 billion for Ukraine under the initiative in September, with the first shipments approved by the Trump administration reportedly including Patriot and HIMARS missiles...
...”This year, the European Union is providing record levels of military support. EU sanctions have already deprived Russia of hundreds of billions of euros to fund its war,” Kallas said, pledging further measures.
“Maybe time was once on Russia’s side, but it’s shifting to Ukraine now.”...
...Kallas is scheduled to chair a meeting of EU defense ministers in Brussels on Oct. 15, where the European officials “will exchange views on defense readiness.””

🚨BREAKING: President Trump and the Pentagon are considering using a "Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force" to deploy National Guard troops on standby to liberal cities plagued by crime and unrest, WaPo reports. pic.twitter.com/m7PvXa7mqX— Election Wizard (@ElectionWiz) August 12, 2025
Serious allegations from former CIA officer Larry Johnson about Senator Lindsey Graham: “There will be news coming out in the next couple of months about how he has profited financially off of money that came out of Ukraine, laundered through Latvia and made it way into his bank account. And now we're talking significant amounts of money. Department of justice is looking at it.”
A new breakthrough was achieved towards Hryshyne from the east following weeks of DRG activities. The full extent of this breakthrough remains unknown, but DRGs are operating on the outskirts of both Hryshyne and Novooleksandrivka. This makes the second to last road out of Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad unusable.
Dorozhnje and the freight train station of the same name have been occupied after over a week of battles, along with Ivanivka and Nove Shakhove to the north.
DRGs continue to operate in and around Novyi Donbas and on the approaches to Dobropillya. No new DRG activity within Dobropillya's city limits has been recorded over the past 12 hours.
The 12th "Azov" Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine was deployed to Rubizhne (circled in green), which has prevented it's capture. Nevertheless, Zolotyi Kolodyaz - the focus of the initial media frenzy - has come under Russian control. DRGs continue to operate on the approaches to Hruzke.
Russian forces captured the Krasnolymanskaya Mine and the adjacent terykon. They also secured part of eastern Rodynske and made additional progress in Chervonyi Lyman.
Novoekonomichne has come under Russian control, and progress was made northwest of Hrodivka and west of Myrolyubivka.
The rest of Lysivka has moved into the grey zone, with unconfirmed reports of its capture. Suhkyi Yar and the guitar-shaped fortification continue to hold.
Russian forces continue to push north through western Pokrovsk and completed the capture of Leontovychi.
Positions were improved in northern Kotlyne and east of the village.
Southern Udachne and the town's train station was captured by Russian forces. Most of the rest of the town is a kill-zone or in the grey zone.
The remaining Ukrainian soldiers in Pokrovsk, Myrnohrad, and the surrounding villages are about to be encircled if nothing is done very soon. Only one road remains even slightly safe for a withdrawal to take place.
I will make a full and more accurate map update tomorrow, but I thought I should share these developments sooner rather than later.
“Etiquette “ that is a good one😂

The term “recession” is now restricted in Russian media.
(I guess it is a “special economic operation” instead)
But it is on them now - stagflation, recession, depression. The auto industry, coal, steel, railways - all cutting back to a 4 day workweek, or even three in some cases. It is not a “layoff”, it is “vacation” (unpaid). Base interest rates at 17%, so retail over 20%. Gas lines. Food ration cards. Refineries operating at the lowest rate since the great collapse of the Soviet system. Tightening sanctions crushing the bones of Russia’s economy, in a hundred ways at once.
New restrictions have been instituted, to prevent men from leaving Russia.
The 2026 Russian budget is now published. Even their official numbers project taxes and spending rising, and income falling further (the last three budgets have seen increasingly worse actuals, compared to their projections).
All teed up, for systemic collapse.
Because of Putin, The Doom of Russia. This war was entirely his choice, and he can’t let go of it. He will take Russia over the cliff with him, if he is not stopped.
All teed up for a Tomahawk kill shot, one freezing cold night.
OilPrice.com (13 Oct):
“Ukraine’s drone attacks on Russian refineries crippled both Russia’s fuel production and exports, with seaborne shipments in September plunging by 17.1% compared to August, according to Reuters estimates based on data from industry sources.
Russia exported by sea 7.58 million metric tons of fuels last month, per the calculations, as shipments from the Russian ports on the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, and Azov Sea slumped by between 15% and 23%. Exports of fuels from the Arctic ports inched up by 1.8% in September from August, while fuel shipments from Russia’s ports in the Far East fell by 1.5%.
Russia last month extended the ban on gasoline exports and introduced a ban on non-producers to export diesel by the end of the year...
…Ukraine’s drone attacks on Russian refineries have resulted in a fuel crunch in Russia, where the shortage is estimated at up to 20% of demand, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last week.
“According to our data, the enemy’s gasoline shortage is up to around 20% of needs. Estimates vary from 13 to 20%, but it is confirmed that the shortage is already significant. In our view, it is about 20% today,” Zelenskyy wrote on X.
Crimea got hit hard - Russia is forced into increased reliance on the Kerch Bridge for essential fuel this Winter. Big follow up strike on the fuel terminal in Feodosia.
Anna from Ukraine (YouTube) reports (13 Oct):
“Ukrainian drones destroyed a Russian-operated oil terminal in the Crimean city of Feodosia on October 13, causing massive fires. The key energy resource — the largest oil storage and shipment hub on the occupied peninsula — sustained heavy damage, with multiple fires reported. Residents reported power outages in the cities of Simferopol and Feodosia. Mobile internet has been shut down in Simferopol and most of Crimea.“
The power station hit in Simferopol provided 25% of Crimea’s electricity .

Brazil joins the party, to feast on Russia’s oil export market share. BRICS - it is everyone for themselves.
OilPrice.com (13 Oct):
“Brazil’s Petrobras has restarted production at its flagship Tupi offshore oilfield, restoring one of the country’s most productive pre-salt assets and adding momentum to Brazil’s rise as a top-five global oil producer...
...The restart is expected to lift output by tens of thousands of barrels per day as Tupi returns to pre-shutdown levels...
...Brazil’s offshore ramp-up is now challenging the dominance of traditional OPEC+ producers, driven by consistently high productivity, improved cost control, and political support for new investment. Recent analysis projects that Brazil could soon join the world’s top five oil producers as its pre-salt developments mature...
...Petrobras’s restart at Tupi also comes as several new platforms prepare to enter service at neighboring Búzios and Itapu, where pre-salt reserves continue to attract foreign partnerships and equipment orders. With national production approaching 3.7 million barrels per day, incremental volumes from the Santos Basin are feeding directly into Brazil’s growing exports, giving traders and refiners a steadier supply of non-OPEC crude.”
