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.

Attacks on Ukraine power?
Makes sense, since Ukraine has devastated Russia with massive power plants destruction.
Just trying to get even with Ukraine. But,all total, Russia has suffered more power outages than Ukraine, and Russian oil and gas is virtually on the edge of disappearing.
It’s a back and forth struggle, with each country doing heavy damage, and the cycle continues.
But, there is no blackout on the battlefield and Russia is continuing to suffer a huge number of casualties, daily.
Ukraine will get its power back, but Russia won’t be able to get its lost oil back and won’t be able to reduce the mile-long lines of drivers looking to gas their cars.
Better than a 5 to 1 ratio of Russian to Ukrainian casualties in Pokrovsk. The general 3 to 1 ratio of attacker to defender is generally magnified in urban combat, making urban environments inherently less suited for those on offense to wage attritional war.

Not to mention lots of Russian front line troops reporting hundreds of Russian corpses lying un-retrieved everywhere.
Went from 2nd largest exporter of weapons to net importer of weapons and ammunition.

Went from large standing army to net imported of troops ...
Your mommy and daddy must be Russians, who are brainwashing your very incapable brain.

PIF, what have you done with FtrPilot?
A huge strike on Ukraine’s civilian energy infrastructure last night - one of the largest of the war. Widespread electrical blackouts, several centralized heating plants offline, and substations supporting Nuclear Power Plants hit.
Kyiv Independent (8 Nov):
“Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast faced emergency power outages after a new large-scale Russian attack overnight on Nov. 8, which targeted Ukraine’s energy and gas infrastructure.
Ukrainian forces downed 406 out of the 458 drones, including Shahed-type attack drones, launched by Russia overnight, the Air Force reported. Russia also launched 45 cruise and ballistic missiles, nine of which were downed, the statement said.
The cities of Kremenchuk in Poltava Oblast, Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv served as the primary target of Russian attacks. Explosions were also heard in the city of Sumy, as well as in Odesa Oblast.”
Indeed, but the usuals can compensate with insults and memes
Let this sink in, pitin’s ego driven war is approaching the entire length of the “great patriotic war” and in that time he has less Ukrainian land then he did in March of 2022.
What he does have of Ukraine is utterly destroyed, and his country is facing an economic collapse far worse than the 1990s
Pitin remains a master strategist 😎
I love the way the usuals try to blame Ukraine as using the kinds of evil “war crimes” their government used to do in their 10 year war in Afghanistan. Cluster bombs spread bomblets that kill and maim individuals. Russia painted bomblets in bright colors and Afghan children would pick them up and die or be crippled for life. I saw a fragment from one that a friend who was visiting in the area in the 1980s brought back.
An amazing irony of the Ukraine war is that we also had cluster munitions. It was time to decommission them because they were beginning to have a 2% failure rate. Instead we gave them to Ukraine. I read that the Ukrainians took them apart, used the big shell for repacking with explosives. Then they took the little bomblets and the article said they were using them with drones to kill individual Russian troops. Apparently we produced them because Russians were using them in Afghanistan, and now they are killing Russians in Ukraine. What a crazy world!
I see that you’re getting jerked by a door knob...
It will soon be lights out Moscow-St Petersburg, where the elites and wealth live. The new Tomahawks will do this. The wealthy and middle class there will turn anti-Putin. Same for the rats in the Kremlin. Leading to a coup or his suicide.
Then his invasion ends.
The rate of Russian advances in the Pokrovsk direction has temporarily slowed but will likely increase again in the coming days as Russian forces extend logistics and bring reinforcements in the area. Geolocated footage published on November 6 indicates that Russian forces recently marginally advanced into northern Myrnohrad (east of Pokrovsk), a relatively small quantity and area of assessed Russian advances in the Pokrovsk direction compared to recent days.[1] Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces seized western Rivne (east of Pokrovsk along the T-0515 Pokrovsk-Dobropillya highway), seized most of Krasnyi Lyman (northeast of Pokrovsk), and advanced in eastern and southeastern Myrnohrad.[2] One milblogger claimed that small Russian assault groups are approaching the T-0515 Pokrovsk-Dobropillya highway in eastern Pokrovsk and are fighting in northern Pokrovsk but are struggling to consolidate positions due to Ukrainian drone strikes.[3] Ukrainian military observer Kostyantyn Mashovets reported on November 7 that much of Pokrovsk is a contested “gray zone” but noted that Russian forces have forward positions in northern Pokrovsk while elements of the main Russian force grouping have positions in southern Pokrovsk.[4] Ukrainian 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Air Assault Forces Spokesperson Serhiy Okishev stated on November 8 that Russian forces do not aim to establish a foothold within Pokrovsk itself but continue efforts to penetrate through the town to its northern outskirts and are dressing as civilians, a resort to perfidy under international law, to do so.[5] Okishev stated that Ukrainian forces partially restored their logistics north of Pokrovsk and transported ammunition into the town.
Ukrainian military sources have indicated in recent days that Russian forces are somewhat slowing down their offensive operations in the Pokrovsk direction while waiting for reinforcements and are attempting to establish defenses and extend logistics into southern Pokrovsk.[6] Mashovets reported that Russian forces quickly established strong defenses near Razine (northeast of Pokrovsk) and are attempting to send reinforcements toward Zatyshok (northeast of Pokrovsk) and Krasnyi Lyman and are sending small and large groups toward Krasnyi Lyman.[7] Russian forces will likely increase the tempo of their offensive operations in the Pokrovsk direction in the coming days as Russian forces continue establishing defenses and logistics in the town.
Russia launched over 500 drones and missiles at Ukraine overnight on November 7 to 8 as it continues its long-range strike campaign against critical Ukrainian energy infrastructure ahead of winter 2025-2026. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces launched 503 drones and missiles, including 25 Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles from Kursk, Voronezh, and Rostov oblasts; 10 Iskander-K cruise missiles from Kursk and Voronezh oblasts; seven Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles from Tambov Oblast; and three Kalibr missiles from the Black Sea.[8] The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces also launched 458 Shahed-type, Gerbera-type, and other drones – of which roughly 300 were Shahed-type drones – from the directions of Kursk and Oryol cities; Millerovo, Rostov Oblast; Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Krasnodar Krai; and occupied Hvardiiske, Crimea. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Ukrainian air defense downed 406 drones and nine missiles, 26 missiles and 52 drones struck 25 locations, and downed debris fell on four locations. The Kirovohrad Oblast Prosecutor's Office reported that Russian forces struck the Kremenchuk Hydroelectric Power Plant in Svitlovodsk, Kirovohrad Oblast, with nearly 15 drones and two missiles.[9] The Horishneplavnika City Council reported that Russian forces conducted missile strikes against several energy facilities in Horishni Plavni, Poltava Oblast, causing significant damage and power outages in the city.[10] The Ukrainian State Emergency Service reported that Russian forces struck an energy infrastructure facility in Odesa Oblast, causing fires.[11] The Kharkiv Oblast Prosecutor's Office reported that Russian forces conducted a combined Geran-2 drone and Iskander-M ballistic missile strike against energy and gas infrastructure in Kharkiv Oblast, killing a gas company operator.[12]
Ukrainian State-owned company Tsentrenergo reported that Russian strikes caused fires and stopped electricity output at the Zmievska Thermal Power Plant in Slobozhanske, Kharkiv Oblast, and the Trupilska Thermal Power Plant in Ukrainka, Kyiv Oblast.[13] Russian opposition outlet SOTA noted that these two thermal power plants supplied 14 percent of Ukraine's electricity.[14] Tsentrenergo reported that Russian forces used an unprecedented number of drones and missiles, amounting to several per minute, against the plants on November 7 to 8 and that the strikes destroyed all restoration progress made at the plants after Russian strikes damaged the plants in 2024. Russia has recently increased strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure to disrupt the Ukrainian power system on a large scale ahead of winter 2025-2026, in what ISW continues to assess is a Russian effort to degrade Ukraine's energy security and industrial capacity and demoralize the Ukrainian populace.[15]
Russian forces also struck civilian and residential infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk and Kyiv oblasts. Acting Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration Head Vladyslav Haivanenko reported that Russian strikes killed three civilians and injured 12 others.[16] Kyiv Oblast Military Administration Head Mykola Kalashnyk reported that Russian missile and drone strikes injured five civilians and damaged residential infrastructure.[17] Ukrainian officials also reported that Russian forces struck Mykolaiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv oblasts.[18]
Ukrainian railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia reported that Russian strikes against railway infrastructure in Poltava Oblast resulted in several train delays and disrupted power supply to several stations.[19] Geolocated footage indicates that Russian forces struck a key railway depot in Hrebinka, Poltava Oblast, which connects Kyiv and Poltava oblasts.[20] ISW recently assessed that Russia has been intensifying its strike campaign against railway infrastructure as part of its battlefield air interdiction (BAI) efforts aimed at disrupting Ukraine's use of its intermediate rear area for logistics.[21]
Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed Southern Military District (SMD) Commander Colonel General Alexander Sanchik as Deputy Minister of Defense for Logistics on November 8.[22] Sanchik became SMD commander in November 2024.[23] Sanchik previously served as the commander of the 35th Combined Arms Army (CAA, Eastern Military District [EMD]) from 2020 to 2023 and deputy commander of the 58th CAA (Southern Military District [SMD]) from 2017 to 2020, but publicly available information on Sanchik’s career remains limited.[24] Sanchik is replacing Colonel General Andrei Bulyga, who served as deputy defense minister for logistics since March 2024.[25] A Kremlin-affiliated milblogger expressed hope that the appointment of a Russian commander with a good reputation as the deputy defense minister for logistics may spearhead fundamental changes in Russia's logistics system.[26] The milblogger claimed that Sanchik’s experience in various command positions will help with supplies, even though Sanchik lacks a logistics-focused background.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appointed Colonel Yuriy Cherevashenko as the commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Air Defense Systems service on November 7.[27] Zelensky tasked Cherevashenko with scaling up the development of Ukraine's unmanned elements in the Air Force, the introduction of drones, and strengthening air defense with the latest weapon systems. Ukraine announced the creation of the Unmanned Air Defense Systems service, which will deploy units equipped with interceptor drones to combat Russian Shahed drones, on September 26.[28] The command-and-control relationships between these units and tactical ground force units, who also have organic tactical air defenses, remain unclear.

Bulgaria just passed a law to nationalize the Burgas oil refinery, owned by Lukoil. No compensation for Lukoil.
There will likely be a cascade of such nationalizations over the next two weeks, before the 21 November deadline. All of the nations are incentivized to do it - sanctioned theft of Russia’s assets. The chance of a lifetime, for multi-billion dollar windfall profits.
Russia has been doing this to foreign companies in Russia over the last few years of war, but now the shoe is on the other foot, and all their global oil and gas investments are getting stripped in one fell swoop.
No wonder that Lavrov is in the hot seat, as so many countries are simultaneously forced to choose between Russia or the West, and their own self interest.
In my opinion, the likely purpose of President Trump bringing the leaders of the C-5 Central Asian Nations to DC, was to prepare them to do the same to Russian assets in their countries, and coordinate support against the likely Russian retaliation.
There is a record amount of Russian oil on the water now, as many tankers have been turned away from unloading, including India, China and Turkey.
These new sanctions have produced a sudden and massive train wreck for Russia, in the money that was coming in, and the oil that was going out.
Likely not coincidentally, the 21 November sanctions deadline is also when seasonal temps in the West Siberian oil fields normally enter sustained periods of sub-zero hard freezing.
A perfect confluence of events for Ukraine’s kinetic sanctions to inflict Strategic damage to Russia - as if it was all masterfully planned that way. Kind of a big deal, kind of a work of art.
The world will likely be a safer place, come Spring, with Russia structurally diminished.
