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.

I see your point and I agree spot on about China, my point about internal is his comment that he has no plans to attack NATO, and you would have to be as dumb as this table…., if people outside of Russia believe that esp after same comment about attacking Ukraine then attacking, well perhaps they are all dumb as that table, no doubt some are, they are the ones who will say “WHAT HAPPENED” as they are taken to the camps
Fool me once…..
Full transparency I didn’t think Putin would attack, that it was a stupid move. He burned that kirch bridge with me
Looks like a nice target for Neptunes and sea babies
Kyiv Independent reports:
“Explosions were heard across Sevastopol in occupied Crimea overnight on June 8, the Telegram channel Crimean Wind reported.
At around 1:39 a.m. local time, residents of Balaklava, a settlement in the city of Sevastopol, reportedly heard explosions. The first explosion allegedly took place near the Balaklava Thermal Power Plant. Crimean Wind alleges that large-caliber weapons were heard before the explosion, possibly indicating a drone attack.
A second explosion was heard closer to the coastline, near the Sevastopol port.
The Russian proxy leader in Sevastopol in occupied Crimea, Mikhail Razvozhayev, later claimed that the “loud sounds” residents heard in the Striletska Bay were the Russian forces destroying an “unmanned boat.”
The Crimean Wind alleged that residents of Sevastopol had their windows blown out by the explosion in the coastal area.”

[ Ukrainians Push Russians Out of Strategic Heights! ]
—
Day 835: Jun 07
Today, there are a lot of interesting updates from the Kharkiv direction.
Here, the Ukrainians have seized the initiative in the north, launching counterattacks and successfully reclaiming numerous positions from Russian forces.
As you remember from the previous report, Russians suffered from the fact that they launched their offensive prematurely. Additionally, Ukrainians were able to hold on to tactical heights, laying the groundwork for a Ukrainian counteroffensive.
While Russians were intensely bombing the area with FAB glide bombs, they were unable to prevent Ukrainians from accumulating a large number of forces here.
Ukrainian fighters in the area shared a video of how they were moving into Lyptsi by car. The result of the intense Russian bombing is also visible as the soldiers are surrounded by damaged and destroyed buildings.
Over the last weeks, Ukrainian drone operators were heavily targeting Russian supply lines, destroying Russian reinforcements and ammunition transports on their way to the front.
Ukrainians also heavily targeted Russian frontline positions to further weaken the Russian defensive situation. With a distinct lack of reinforcements and ammunition, a Ukrainian military analyst reported that Russian morale was becoming increasingly low.
This also meant that the Russian operation of holding an active defense was failing, as the military analyst reported that Russians were increasingly refusing to carry out attacks or raids on Ukrainian positions.
Seeing that the Russian defensive situation had significantly deteriorated, Ukrainian forces launched numerous counterattacks all over the frontline.
Russian military bloggers reported that these Ukrainian counterattacks focused on regaining positions on the hills. Ukrainians understood the tactical importance of these hills, as they project fire control over the surrounding settlements, all situated in the lowlands.
The Russian military bloggers also reported that Ukrainians were supporting their assaults with elite drone detachments such as Madyar’s Birds.
The Ukrainian counterattacks, being supported by such an accurate and notorious drone brigade, only worsened Russian morale. Which, according to Ukrainian fighters active in the area, even led to unauthorized retreats from the area.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that they had successfully repelled Ukrainian counterattacks near Hlyboke. However, a prominent Russian military analyst released a statement saying that due to the Ukrainian counterattacks, Russians were forced to leave several positions on the eastern hills.
The Institute for the Study of War also concluded that Ukrainian counterattacks had successfully pushed Russians out of numerous positions near Lyptsi and Neskuchne, back toward Lukiantsi.
Russian commanders quickly attempted to save face and ordered immediate counterattacks to retake all previously lost positions.
Russians launched numerous air strikes with different types of FAB glide bombs to undermine the new Ukrainian positions on the hills.
Geolocating this footage simultaneously disproves the claims made by the Russian Ministry of Defense, showing that Ukrainians had advanced in the direction of Hlyboke as well.
A Ukrainian intelligence officer reported that Russians were conducting large pure-infantry assaults supported by extensive glide bomb strikes.
These Glide bomb strikes were insufficient as close air support as Russian military bloggers reported that that Russian counterattacks were unsuccessful so far.
If we look at the topographic map it becomes clear why Russian counterattacks failed
Firstly a Russian military analyst reported that all Russian assaults through the lowlands were destroyed, as the topography provides little cover against Ukrainian positions up the hills.
Secondly Russian attacks in the east suffered because there are no hardened roads there, severely complicating the supply of any large counterattack operation.
Lastly Ukrainians had advanced to a construction in the hill line in the north, bottlenecking any Russian assault over the hilltop, making them much more manageable for the Ukrainian defenders.
As the Russian counterattacks had failed, Russian commanders resorted to their next best option.
The Institute For The Study of War reported that Russians flooded the area with their reserves to prevent a larger Ukrainian breakthrough.
This tactic, while effective as the sheer amount of enemy combatants, heavily complicates any attempt at the breakthrough & might not help the Russians in the long run.
Such an over concentration of forces would also provide Ukrainians with a large amount of Russian forces concentrations to target.
As The Institute For The Study of War also reported Russians mainly move into and through the area by foot, all-terrain vehicle, or motorcycle most of these targets are soft targets being easy to destroy with high explosive and cluster munitions.
Russians have also not reinforced this area with a large number of armored vehicles in fear of quickly losing them to Ukrainian FPV drones and newly supplied Western artillery.
With no armored support this large amount of infantry leaves Ukrainians with two options going forward.
Ukrainians can either take a more passive stance on the front line, while actively targeting the soft forces concentrations with artillery and drones wearing Russians down over the long run.
Or Ukrainians can concentrate their firepower on creating a temporary superiority in manpower allowing for a surgical strike and a spearhead into the Russian lines.
Overall, Ukrainians had severely undermined the Russian defensive situation, even leading to insubordination and Mutiny among Russian soldiers.
Ukrainian forces on the ground took advantage of this situation and were able to reclaim a large amount of territory.
Russian commanders were caught in a lie and conducted a hasty counterattack to save face with which inevitably failed due to superior Ukrainian positioning.
Russian commanders then resorted back to their tactic of throwing bodies at the problem to keep Ukrainians from breaking through, leaving Ukrainians with two options going forward wearing the Russians down in the long term or breaking through in the short term.
Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, June 6, 2024
https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-june-6-2024
Putin inadvertently indicated on June 5 that Russian forces may be suffering roughly 20,000 monthly casualties in Ukraine, which, if accurate, would be roughly equal to or just below the number of new personnel that Russia reportedly generates per month.
Putin inadvertently suggested that roughly 5,000 Russian personnel are killed in action in Ukraine each month, which further suggests that roughly 15,000 Russian personnel are wounded in action, assuming a standard three-to-one wounded-to-killed casualty ratio.
ISW cannot confirm Putin’s suggested casualty rate and his apparent inadvertent admission does not serve as a clear claim about Russian casualties in Ukraine. Putin’s suggested figure does align somewhat with the lower end of Ukrainian reporting about Russian casualty rates, however.
Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander Lieutenant General Oleksandr Pavlyuk stated on May 2 that Russian forces suffer about 25,000 to 30,000 killed and wounded personnel per month.
Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Deputy Chief Major General Vadym Skibitskyi reported on January 15, 2024, that Russia recruits around 30,000 personnel per month
Ruslan Pukhov, the head of the Moscow-based Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies and a member of a Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) civilian advisory board, similarly claimed in mid-April 2024 that current Russian crypto-mobilization efforts are generating roughly 30,000 new personnel each month.
Russian officials are reportedly concerned about decreasing recruitment rates ahead of the expected Russian Summer 2024 offensive effort, and it is unclear if the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has maintained the roughly 30,000 recruitment rate it reportedly had in January and April of 2024.

What does this paddling pool think about himself?! Putin is unhappy with Macron’s behavior
Vladimir Putin reacted quite nervously to Emmanuel Macron’s latest statements, and is generally dissatisfied with the failure of the “French front.”
“Before the SVO, Macron stood in line to see Putin. He called several times a day. And now he has become perhaps the main hawk in Europe. Who would have thought,” says a source in the AP close to the foreign policy bloc.
Macron’s behavior worries the President. And the last few weeks have been spent looking for a deterrent for the French, sources say.
“We see how the West lives. Someone agreed to give tanks, and everyone gives. If Macron pushes through the appearance of NATO troops in Ukraine, then we will be forced to freeze the conflict.
“Nobody really wants to fight against NATO after two years of such a difficult war,” one of the prominent representatives of the Ministry of Defense told us.
Rumor has it that Vladimir Vladimirovich has a personal grudge against Macron. At a recent meeting with generals, he called Macron a “frog” and was clearly dissatisfied with the aggressive agenda being imposed by the French President.
Quite a few things came out from the “press” conference.
Most of all that Der Leader felt he needed to.
Perhaps the dumb as this table was the best. If any “report” present had the balls to quote one of the almost innumerable quotes from RT talking about attacking NATO countries , would have been the cherry on top

Have you noticed that no one is talking about the results of the attack on Kharkov?
The offensive of our troops in the Kharkov direction, unfortunately, stopped. The troops are now regrouping and over the past 2 weeks there have been NO significant results in terms of tactical advances of the Russian Armed Forces.
What does it mean? By using reserves, the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to stop our breakthrough. Unfortunately, we suffered heavy losses. At the same time, the city of Volchansk remained under Ukrainian control. The same story with Kharkov.
What’s next? It is likely that breakthrough efforts will be concentrated on other sectors of the front. For example, in the Pokrovsky direction.
In this case, there are 2 points that are worth paying attention to.
The first is serious losses in armored vehicles and their shortage among the troops. We have talked about this more than once, the situation is only getting worse.
Secondly, Ukraine used our attack on Kharkov to obtain permission to fire Western weapons deep into Russia.
And this is not very good news. The General Staff has ambivalent assessments of the results of the offensive, but they note that our troops managed to advance deeper into Ukrainian territory, which is also quite good.
The interlocutors are in no hurry to discuss the cost of such advancement in human casualties.

Our Tu-22M3 was damaged in North Ossetia
Enemy drones attacked the Mozdok airfield in North Ossetia. Previously, three drones flew to the airfield, one of which fell 200 meters from a military facility, another was shot down by air defense.
According to our sources, one of the drones flew to the airfield and hit a Tu-22M3 strategic bomber. Experts have hopes that it can be restored, but note that repairs will take at least 6 months, and maybe even more.
Interlocutors say that at the time of the attack, the Mozdok airfield was not protected by serious air defense systems.
“Now all the air defense is working at the front, some have been taken to Moscow, some have covered oil refining facilities,” said a source in the Ministry of Defense.

Ukrainian UAVs were shot down over North Ossetia for the first time.
Three drones were shot down by air defense forces in Mozdok. The target was a military airfield, the head of the republic reports. According to him, minor damage and fires were recorded, and no one was injured.
“France will transfer five Mirage 2000-5 jets to Ukraine.”
Darth Putin, KGB
Day 835 of my 3 day war. I asked my generals how they plan to stop French made Mirage jets if they can’t stop cheap drones. They looked nervously at the window.
I remain a master strategist.
So many crossed “red lines”, it apparently red lines are only for others not muscovites
Of course they were all shot down
Funny how lots of these”shot down” drones hit their targets
Russian AD remains impenetrable. Vald says so & so it must be. The explosion you saw were just falling missile debris landing at random spots. You cannot beat or defeat our S-400s. Not even your vaunted Patriots can stop our missiles - those Patriots are just poor copies of our S-300 systems.
We remain victorious.
It is stunning how all those “intercepted” missiles seem to fall on their targets
A lot of countries with these systems as well as other soviet/ Russian equipment can’t be very happy
Yup victorious
Really curious how much vlad actually knows about the status of his smo and military

A curious situation with Nabiullina
It’s no secret that Elvira Nabiullina played a key role in maintaining control over the Russian economy during the war and a new round of sanctions.
The conditions in which the Central Bank and the entire economic bloc of the government find themselves are difficult to describe in one word. This has never happened in modern history. Yes, there was a default in the late 90s, but the challenges were different.
At the same time, serious passions have now erupted around the head of the Central Bank.
Firstly, many in the elite are openly wary of Nabiullina because of her direct contact with the President. She may not be able to find words if the situation is really bad. For many who try to smooth things over, it makes them look bad.
Secondly, Nabiullina herself has repeatedly expressed a desire to resign. As an experienced specialist, she understands that maintaining system stability is becoming increasingly difficult.
She is offended when, in the press or in open discussions, prominent figures disparage the work of the Central Bank, pointing to high inflation and fluctuations in the exchange rate.
“She is making titanic efforts to ensure that the entire financial system survives. And, believe me, there are risks. When the President says that our economy is growing by leaps and bounds, one may get the impression that we do not live in the same country,” said a source at the Central Bank close to to Nabiullina.
He notes that there is economic growth, but largely due to the military industry.
At the same time, several independent interlocutors drew attention to the remark of the former advisor on Russia at the US National Security Council, Fiona Hill. She suggested that Nabiullina could be one of those with whom the West will deal after the end of the war. This thesis, according to the interlocutors, was brought up by Nabiullina’s enemies who are in Russia.
“It’s an obvious setup,” said the interlocutor, who is in close contact with Nabiullina, briefly and undiplomatically. Over the past week, several articles have been published in the West dedicated to the head of the Russian Central Bank.
Sources do not believe in an accident, therefore they are convinced that someone is trying to put Nabiullina in a bad light in front of the President.
