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.

What Volkswagen doink?
Year to date, its stock value is up about 11%. Better than the long term average.
The Russian (Moscow) Stock Market index (MOEX CFD) is down for the month, quarter and YTD. It now stands at 2,653, down about 40% from its pre-war high (Oct 2021) of 4,336. That is in rubles, losses were worse in hard currencies.
“some machinery/processes in the EU REQUIRE Urals”
BS, Moron.
Certain Europeein’ refineries are set up to receive Urals blends, mouthbreather.
OF COURSE you didn’t know that, being a stupid zeeper.
“Certain Europeein’ refineries are set up to receive Urals blends”
That does not mean that they “REQUIRE” Urals, clown.
They do not.
Any similar grade, in terms of lightness and sweetness (Urals is on the heavy and sour side), will process just fine, and adjustments can be made to process fairly different grades though the same facility. Urals itself is not some laboratory standardized product - its batches vary, overlapping with other competing grades.
There has been plenty of time and money available for European refineries to adapt to other sources of supply, and the EU has had a deliberate and very well funded program to do just that - just as they have invested heavily in alternate sources of supply and infrastructure for their natural gas.
Europe has already added new capacity to import Seaborne LNG, equal to twice the amount of natural gas that it imported from Russia before Putin’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The EU has robustly secured its oil product supply as well. Only Hungary and Transnistria have dragged their heels, and both are significantly less dependent on Russian supply in the event of a sudden cuttoff than before the invasion.
A sudden cutoff of the Druzhba Oil Pipeline to Hungary is a quite realistic prospect, given Ukraine’s strikes on it in recent months, that have already inflicted a series of outages.
A government 🤡 clown 🤡 like you thinks nothing of throwing away a working set-up and charging the peasants to retool the refinery, because it's ALL ABOUT your jihad against The Russherns.
Also, the peasants get to pay 3 times as much for LNG instead of cheap Russian nat gas, while you sit back in the peasant-paid Brussels office building, sipping fine cognac out of snifters and laughing at the tax-paying chumps down in the street.
If you ran your BS in the face of Orban, Fico and Szijjártó, you'd get punched.
Bottom Line: You are flat out wrong in your asinine claim about European dependence on Urals Grade crude oil.
Again.
Wrong as can be, but filled with hubris, despite being clueless. You are pathetic.
Fico just voted to approve the 19th sanctions package on Russia.
BDA coming in - Another bullseye (cracking tower disabled) on the Russian refinery hit recently (Dagestan).
Kyiv Independent (22 Oct):
“Ukrainian drones struck an oil refinery in Makhachkala, Dagestan, overnight on Oct. 22, a source in Ukraine’s military intelligence has told the Kyiv Independent...
...”At least one of the drones successfully attacked and disabled the AVT primary oil processing unit (cracking tower). After the explosion, a large-scale fire broke out at the plant.”...
...Russian air defenses intercepted 44 Ukrainian drones overnight and into the morning of Oct. 22, including eight over Dagestan, according to Russia’s Defense Ministry...
...In Makhachkala, drones targeted the Dagnotech oil refinery, according to Astra. Sergey Melikov, head of the Republic of Dagestan, confirmed that the region came under drone attack overnight, with one of the local enterprises being struck.
Makhachkala Mayor Dzhambulat Salavov initially posted on his Telegram channel that the drone attack had damaged several commercial facilities and two vehicles in the city. However, he deleted the post within 12 minutes. A photo included in the post showed not only damaged buildings but also military vehicles.”
OK, ya freeploading deadbeat. | |||||||||
Szijjártó too...
OilPrice.com (22 Oct):
“Hungary will begin negotiations to purchase nuclear fuel from the United States as it looks to diversify its supplies, the country’s foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told the country’s MI state news channel on Wednesday.” (22 Oct)

Bottom Line: You are flat out a freeploading deadbeat who contributes nothing but half-pinions that are wrong.
Your prognostications are always Next Tuesday.
23 October 1941. Field Marshal Georgy Zhukov took command of the Red Army’s operations. His 1st task was to prevent the German army capturing Moscow which he achieved in December 1941. He was then a key figure in the total victory of the Red Army on the Eastern Front.
Looks like all you do on FR is attack other Freepers.
Who’s paying you to come on this site and troll conservatives, sow discord, attempt to destroy the site?
And what is with ending -ing verbs with -ink? Are you trying to sound German? Or is that just your Soviet sympathies peaking through?
Now if only 47 would close the Swift system to Sberbank Russia’s largest bank, and Gazprombank, which handles payments related to Russian oil and gas exports, and were exempted from the SWIFT ban,
Some silly poster has made the claim that the “kremlin secrets” site contains minimal information - the silly boy needs to get and use the Telegram app, & be able to either read Russian or use a translation service.
If he had a any sense he would be able to see and click the ‘Preview Chanel’ button [ its in English ], and see the info in Russian for his eminent perusal.
Kremlin snuffbox/Кремлевская табакерка, Oct 23 2025
After the cancellation of the Putin-Trump meeting, two threats emerged.
We warned that the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Budapest would not take place. We reported it even before official information on the matter appeared [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/6327 ]. A Kremlin source acknowledged that “the situation has developed quite unpleasantly.” And warned of two threats that will have to be addressed soon.
We have written about the first of these many times: sanctions, as well as the fact that we are not yet able to complete the SVO on our own terms, will almost inevitably lead to a serious economic crisis.
“We’ve warned about the crisis many times [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/6273 ]. It will be difficult. On the other hand, according to a recent survey, 70% of Russians are willing to economize and limit themselves to protect the country [ https://t.me/rian_ru/323191 ]. So the crisis will be tough, but our people will greet it, if not with joy ( after all, the SVO will continue! ), then with understanding,” the channel’s source believes.
The second threat is more serious. “Given what’s happening, the number of those within our elites who want to listen to the Americans, end the Second World War, and stop at the front lines may increase. Internal enemies, which we’ve repeatedly told you about, will grow stronger [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/6315 ]. Of course, we will purge such traitors and those who support a rapid end to the Second World War. But their numbers could become too great,” the Presidential Administration representative fears.
Another Kremlin source confirmed these concerns and called on everyone to unite.
“It’s no secret that even among the military, there are those who want the Second Military Operation to end as quickly as possible. Many don’t like the idea of Russia’s life in the coming years turning into a continuous war. And I understand them. But I urge everyone - let’s remember what we’re fighting for. Let’s unite around this war. And let’s think about how bad it will be if the Second Military Operation ends quickly and without any tangible results. Let everyone think about what it will be like without the Second Military Operation. Please publish these words of mine. Let everyone hear me!” declared a close ally of the President.

These aren't FReepers, they are a combination of #Nevertrumps and foreigners intent on ushering Americans into a land war in Eastern Europe. Come and join them if you like, or just walk by and police a different Thread.
