Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine (2 year anniversary)

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.

This resident expresses "her surprise". Stronger, the man who lives opposite says, "We're shocked." Obviously, the search carried out ten days ago by men from the SRPJ of Nancy - "there was demining", says the man who saw them arrive "at the stroke of 10 a.m. on Friday of last week" - did not go unnoticed in Nant-le-Petit, a Meuse town of a little more than eighty souls not far from Ligny-en-Barrois.

The police came to search No. 3 Grande-Rue, a large farmhouse where Grégoire Moutaux, originally from Bar-le-Duc, lives. It is the 25-year-old from Lorraine arrested at the border between Ukraine and Poland on May 21, with in his vehicle a real arsenal composed of weapons of war (Kalashnikov) and explosives (100 kg of TNT plus detonators), information revealed by the M6 info website on Friday. He added that, during the search, components of explosives and a T-shirt of a far-right group had been discovered.

In the village, tongues are difficult to loosen. "I don't know much and I don't want to talk," replies the mayor, Dominique Pensalfini-Demorise. He added: "I don't want to know about it. After that, it is a matter of justice. The elected official knows that the young man lives in a house belonging to his grandfather. "He lives alone... as far as I know," she says.

This is confirmed by his neighbours, who present him as someone very discreet. "We rarely saw him, because he was going on a trip to Alsace (where he works)," says one of them. "You could tell he was there when there was light. The grandfather, we meet him more often, because he comes to tinker. When asked, the latter, who lives in Ligny-en-Barrois, refused any interview to discuss his grandson's personality.

Inseminator in Alsace

"He always said hello, asked how he was doing. It was hard to expect that," says an old lady. "His grandfather just told me that he was in jail there without knowing for how long."

On the professional side, Grégoire Moutaux works as an inseminator. He had been hired a year ago by the Elitest cooperative based in the Vosges. Assigned to the Bas-Rhin, he appears as a replacement in the 2015-2016 catalogue. It was at the wheel of a company car that he was intercepted. Internally, people only praise his work and his behavior: "There is no reproach to be levelled at him. He has always had an irreproachable attitude. He is an exemplary employee... »

Previously, he was a trimmer, i.e. a pedicurist for cattle in the Meuse. A farmer with whom he worked remembers him very well. He described him as "a tall, dry guy, who wore glasses at the time" and described him as "a good young man, crazy about cows". He adds: "He seemed to be a traveller, he had told me that he had been to the United States. He also told me that he had started weight training. »

While Grégoire Moutaux remains in custody by the Ukrainian authorities, a preliminary investigation has been opened in France by the JIRS (Specialized Interregional Jurisdiction) of Nancy for arms trafficking. It is therefore up to the latter to establish whether the transport of weapons and explosives can be linked to a possible terrorist project. The first investigations have been entrusted to the criminal brigade of the SRPJ of Nancy.

God bless technological progress and video archives!

Here's almost four minutes of Putin's evolving statements from 2008 to 2024:
2008: “Crimea is not disputed territory of Ukraine, and the issues of Russian speakers are internal issues of Ukraine.”
2013: “Russia certainly doesn't plan to send troops into Ukraine.”
2014: “After the annexation of Crimea, Russia doesn't plan to further divide Ukraine.”
2019: “It's nonsense that Russia plans to attack anyone in future.”
2022: “Russia's Special Military Operation does not involve the occupation of Ukrainian territories,” and “Russia has acquired new territories during the Special Military Operation.”
2023: “The conflict in Ukraine is not a territorial conflict—we have plenty of own territories.”
2024: “Anyone who wants Russia to give up CONQUERED TERRITORIES in Ukraine must understand that this is impossible.”
2024: “Could Russia attack Poland or Latvia? That's nonsense.” Why do we need this?
2024 “Russia has no plans to attack NATO...”

How stupid do you have to be to not understand that negotiations and promises don't work with a lying and hypocritical dictator? All he and Russia understand is strength and the ability to deliver a real rebuff to Russia's imperialist dreams!

True and Russian mir believes that they can’t win in Ukraine, it can win against NATO.

Perhaps the only reason Russia is still able to fight is that Ukraine does not have the air force to drop and drop a lot of the heavy stuff.

That would not be the case with NATO, and Iran proved how “well” Russian and Chinese AD works.

WTS, Ukraine is developing their own versions of strategic bombing and unlike WW2 it won’t take thousands of bombs or missiles to have a devastating impact on Russian economy, logistics, and moral

The supply of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine is undesirable. But it appears to be inevitable.

At the instigation of the Presidential Administration, Russian media have launched a wave of claims regarding the consequences of transferring Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv . Everyone from war correspondents to Medvedev is commenting, pointing to the consequences not only for Kyiv but also for US-Russian relations.

In reality, the Presidential Administration has accepted that Tomahawk deliveries are just a matter of time.

“We see Trump changing his rhetoric. There’s much to be said about the reasons, but there’s undoubtedly been an increase in his political support for Kyiv. Now it’s important to delay the delivery of these missiles to the Kyiv regime as much as possible,” a Kremlin source said.

The Ministry of Defense emphasized its readiness to shoot down American-made missiles, but noted that their long range places many important facilities within their strike zone. Their protection should be a long-term priority. They also noted that at least several instances of Ukrainian-made missiles being used have been recorded. This, according to the source, poses a greater threat due to the enemy’s ability to increase production with European assistance.

In the current situation, attacks on production sites should become a priority.
