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.

About the new post by Nikolai Patrushev
Many believe that Nikolai Patrushev’s new post is some kind of demotion and almost humiliation. This is wrong.
Firstly, it was not for nothing that Dmitry Peskov said that Nikolai Platonovich will have “other functions.” As far as we know, these are very important functions. Of course, secret.
Secondly, according to our data, Vladimir Putin is confident that shipbuilding is the most important task.
We definitely need to develop it, after the Kiev regime inflicted serious losses on the Black Sea Fleet during the years of the Northern Military District.
In addition, our increased activity in the Arctic also requires the expansion and strengthening of the Russian fleet. Here Nikolai Platonovich’s experience is simply necessary.
“Starting this year, President Joe Biden will quadruple tariffs on imported Chinese electric vehicles, from 25% to 100%. The import tax on Chinese solar cells will double, from 25% to 50%. And tariffs on some Chinese steel and aluminum imports will increase more than three-fold, from 7.5% today up to 25%.”
“In the Volgograd region in Russia, a freight train derailed and several tanks caught fire. Russia said that this was due to sabotage, while Ukrainian channels claim the train was attacked by UAVs.”

Train was hauling pole timber for pulp, assorted scrap metal, and had a few tanker cars - no tanks, no T-XX tanks.

Near draw right now but I expect RuZZian losses to zoom... because they always do.

1) Deputy Defence Ministers Tsalikov and Krivoruchko backdated their resignation letters to before May 9th, despite signing the letters on May 13th.
2) Their subordinate Lt Gen Kuznetsov's house was raided and he was taken out of his bed by force at around 5:30am on May 14. His wife was also taken away.
3) Kuznetsov is accused of crimes directly linked to Deputy Defence Ministers Tsalikov and Ivanov. Ivanov has already been under arrest.
Apr 26
🧵🚨 PART 1: Wild revelations from Vladimir Osechkin's sources on Timur Ivanov's role in Yevgeny Prigozhin's rebellion & demise. Arrest of Ivanov is Putin's retribution. Shoigu's fall is likely coming.
4) On May 12, investigations opened into FSB military counterintelligence departments whose jobs were to police the MoD. Arrests of many co-conspirators in the FSB are expected.
5) Osechkin has many sources at the MoD including some who already defected to the West and managed to take with them enormous amounts of information. They are familiar with these counterintelligence officers who enabled the mass MoD corruption, and they call them "contriks."
6) Osechkin views the demonstrative raid in the middle of night of Lt Gen Kuznetsov by FSB military counterintelligence to be an attempt to demonstrate their competence and to distract from their complicity.
7) Osechkin is aware that over 1,000 Russian soldiers have been extrajudicially executed by Russians themselves on the frontlines, usually for refusing to go on suicidal assaults, but also there cases for refusal to murder Ukrainian civilians.
8) Several military contractors and subcontractors who were part of the MoD embezzlement scheme, both complicit and those who were victims, have reached out to Osechkin, and they all say the same thing:
The decisions were made personally by Shoigu and his deputy Tsalikov.
9) Tsalikov put Ivanov in charge of distributing bribes to key co-conspirators, including at FSB military counterintelligence, to keep the fraud scheme running smoothly. Money for the bribes came from the MoD budget embezzled from the contractors as kickbacks.
🚨 10) Crypto was widely utilized for embezzlement. Timur Ivanov created a team of IT programmers with a base at a cottage near his residence. There are tens of thousands of Bitcoin spread out through various wallets that belong to the Shoigu/Tsalikov mafia.
1 BTC is $62,000.

Collapse of Russian Defense Ministry
According to the link below, Russian channels also admit UAVs:

Attacking moving trains by UAVs would be devastating for ruzzia.
Sounds like something from the Russian MOD.

Gerasimov gave four forecasts for the SVO and said when it could end
After the resignation of Sergei Shoigu, the Chief of the General Staff conveyed to the Kremlin several basic forecasts about what military operations might look like this year and beyond. And what will accompany them? Generals close to Valery Gerasimov told us about this.
The first forecast is the duration of the SVO.
The Chief of the General Staff continues to be of the opinion that the fighting will drag on. And he gives an approximate time frame - another 3-5 years until the end of the special operation. Gerasimov is glad that no one else will tell the President that the SVO will end this year, without providing any evidence or justification for this.
Second forecast.
According to the head of the General Staff, a good result of the North Military District this year will be the liberation of the entire territory of the DPR. Achieving this goal depends on a number of factors that sources did not disclose to us due to the secrecy of information.
The third forecast is that serious problems during the Northern Military District will be created for us and are already being created by the assistance of the Americans and other Western countries to the Kiev regime.
In this regard, many sources are surprised that Sergei Naryshkin remained the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, because the tasks of disrupting Western support for Ukraine were not completed. As well as a number of other tasks, including in Ukraine.
By the way, some of our intelligence interlocutors are surprised that Naryshkin retained his post. But they believe that Vladimir Vladimirovich had reasons for such a decision.
Fourth.
There will definitely be mobilization, Gerasimov is sure. It, he said, is “critically necessary due to the prolongation of hostilities.” When and how it will be carried out, the Ministry of Defense will answer.
Also, the head of the General Staff is a supporter of partial demobilization ( moreover, Vladimir Putin also supports it ). Gerasimov conveyed his proposals on this matter to the Kremlin and the new Minister of Defense.
“Sounds like something from the Russian MOD.”
Sadly, those are confirmed UA losses.
“Let the Purge begin”
Sorry, meant to say
Let the Purge continue.
How about “Let the arrests continue”?
lol!!!

Wiki declares that there is a state of Palestine. Since such a State does not exist, except in the minds of the anti-Semites that edit the page, the entire thing is suspect.
