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.

Assessments of the Russian economy have upset Putin. The Kremlin has found a solution
Preliminary data from Rosstat show a steady trend—our economy continues to slow down. GDP growth has fallen to just 0.6%. This figure exceeded the Central Bank's expectations. As we know, they always take a more objective view of the situation. The president received the information in advance and was disappointed. He expected real GDP growth of at least 2%, even though this did not coincide with the forecasts of the Ministry of Economic Development and key analysts.
The Presidential Administration suggested not publishing data on the state of the Russian economy, at least in the near future, until the figures show significant growth. The Central Bank considers such a scenario unlikely, as concealing official data could further damage the economy and create fertile ground for new conspiracy theories. Interestingly, Vaino supported the idea of not publishing data on the state of the economy, while Kirienko, on the contrary, opposed it.
17NOV2025 Russia is predicted to face five years of “very intense warfare,” followed by several more wars lasting 18-20 years.
This forecast was given by philosopher Alexandr Dugin in an interview with our channel. “I recently published a post stating that the Odessa, Nikolaev, Kharkov, Poltava, and Sumy regions will return to Russia. I spoke with military personnel and people from the Kremlin. It will take five years of very intense, extremely fierce war to liberate these regions. I hope that many Russians will read my words and understand what they need to prepare for next year,” Alexandr Gelevich said. In total, according to his forecast, Russia will be at war for another 18-20 years, and not only in Ukraine. Moreover, such wars will definitely be repeated several times. Therefore, it is very important to urgently increase the birth rate.
“I have seen the secret birth rate figures. It's a disaster, Russia is dying out! We need to take measures and increase the birth rate next year. So that in 18-20 years, we can raise new soldiers who will take part in a new war. After all, this is the key to our survival,” Dugin emphasized. He expects that drastic measures to increase the birth rate will be taken as early as next year. First of all, abortions will be banned.
This is why Putin invaded Ukraine. A quick invasion with victory within three weeks. Putin would have instantly increased Russia Slavic population by 42 million. Today there are 106 million Russian Slavs and 30 million others. These minorities have higher birthrates.
Quite certain it helped run the Kamala campaign😂
If they are reporting .6 it is much much worse
Gott Mit Uns, the German soldiers of nazi germany thought so to, even had belt buckles with that on them😂
Poor Belousov, sometimes the answer is no and sometimes it is a trip out a window
Pitin’s war is accelerating Russia’s depopulation
14NOV2025 Putin does not understand how the military missed the strike on Novorossiysk
The enemy struck Novorossiysk at night, including the Sheskharis oil terminal. The consequences are serious, of course, we will not disclose them. The situation infuriated Vladimir Putin. “Vladimir Vladimirovich does not understand one thing. The day before, he demanded that the military say when the successful strikes on our oil facilities for the enemy will stop. And immediately such shelling, with such losses, a blow was missed. The president’s patience, you know, can run out. The military must better protect important facilities. I hope they will finally understand this,” a source in the Kremlin told us.
He does not rule out that if the situation does not change in the near future, the president may take serious steps. In particular, to make several tough personnel decisions. Another representative of the Presidential Administration said that “the situation in Novorossiysk turned out to be so unpleasant that even the strike on Kiev did not bring Vladimir Vladimirovich such joy as usual.”

The Ukrainians are such war geniuses that their drones (small swarms) have felt out (activated) Russian air-defense radars to expose (map) safe corridors for their drones and missiles to fly through. This is done on case by case basis for each attack. Plus kept stored for future reference, in an ever changing landscape of Russian air-defense units. Dueling against incoming drones missiles from Ukraine.
So Putin can toss conniption fits, but his military cannot guard the refineries. One recent refinery attack was described as, none Russian air defense reaction seen/
“We need to take measures and increase the birth rate next year. So that in 18-20 years, we can raise new soldiers who will take part in a new war.”
What a ghoul this Dugin is!
The Super Bone-Crushing Sanctions Bill is back on the move, with President Trump’s blessing.
Kyiv Independent (17 Nov):
“The United States Congress will renew its efforts to move forward in an attempt to pass a Russia sanctions bill into law, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham announced on Nov. 17.
“I am very pleased that with President Trump’s blessing, Congress will be moving on the overwhelmingly bipartisan Russia sanctions bill that will provide President Trump with more tools to end the bloodbath in Ukraine,” Graham wrote on social media.
The initially proposed bill sought to impose 500% tariffs on imports from countries purchasing Russian oil, gas, uranium, and other products — although it was not immediately clear as to what restrictions would be imposed under the latest version of the bill.
Signed by 84 co-sponsors, Senators Graham and Richard Blumenthal established a revised version of their bill that would impose secondary sanctions on Russian trading partners, while shielding Ukraine’s allies from penalties and making technical adjustments.
In June, the White House asked Graham to insert waivers into the bill allowing Trump to choose which entities get sanctioned and changing the word “shall” to “may.”
U.S. President Donald Trump appeared to signal his willingness on Nov. 16 to move on the bill, which aims to put additional economic pressure on Russia.
When asked by reporters whether Trump wants Congress to move on the legislation, Trump replied: I hear they’re doing that. That’s okay with me.”
“This legislation is designed to give President Trump more flexibility and power to push (Russian President Vladimir) Putin to the peace table by going after both Putin and countries like Iran that support him,” Graham wrote.”
