Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine (2 year anniversary)

ORYX ^ | Since February 24, 2022 and daily | ORYX

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.

Plenty of movies have been made about this very topic. Humans make mistakes, programs have “glitches “. GIGO comes to mind as well. AI is only as good as its programming is, just look at some of the stuff “AI” driven products have produced. AI Chat is an example

The ultimate example of AI going wrong is the whole Terminator series, AI(skynet) becomes self aware and decides humans are the problem, lesser would be AI programming makes “mistakes” and who is held responsible.

We continue to head into dangerous new territory

Last night, "Lyuty" UAVs targeted Russia. Allegedly, 4 UAVs were shot down over Tver, 2 over Moscow, and 1 over Bilhorod, although the total number of UAVs is unspecified. In Tver's Redkino city, locals had mixed reactions, ranging from "they hit the factory again" to "it reached where it needed to." The "Redkin Research Plant," which produces chemical products for aviation and space industries, is located there.

Last night, Russia attacked Ukraine with a mix of drones and missiles.

Shot down:
0/1 Kh-47M2 aeroballistic missile
4/4 Kalibr cruise missiles
1/1 Kh-59/69 cruise missile
23/23 Shahed drones

Mystery solved.

⚡️Russian Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev arrived in New York on June 26 to participate in a U.N. summit of police chiefs (UNCOPS-2024), said ministry spokesperson Irina Volk.

The Russian plane continued on to Washington DC after the NYC stop. Now I’m even more suspicious.

[FtrPilot]

I am not sure what to believe.

Maybe President Trump is walking back his threat to cut off funding for Ukraine.

⚡️ The Crimean bridge is closed to traffic, and air alerts are sounding in Sevastopol military units.

I think team Biden are negotiating with the Russian delegations that arrived on that flight both in New York and DC. Both sides are panicking in advance of tonight’s debate. A U.N. police chief convention? Nope.

IMHO, much of the furor around the dangers of AI are related to script writers looking for a hook for the next big movie franchise or stock promoters (e.g. Elon Musk) looking for a selling point to either raise cash from gullible retail investors or keep his company’s stock price levitated around the time he wants to exercise his stock option grants. AI, when used in autonomous mode, can best be viewed as a complex version of a shotgun wired to blast anyone unaware of its existence who trips the mechanism connected to its trigger.

Things that are simple for lower order animals are difficult for AI. And consciousness is probably many orders of complexity beyond AI, as the excerpt below explains:

[The logical alternatives to the concepts of synthetic biology are not “guilty of a kind of modern day vitalism” as suggested by Craig Venter[1,2]. The alternative is the full range of nucleic acid sequence-based life and the agents that are competent to arrange and rearrange DNA information according to their real-life needs. Communication between cells, tissues, organs and organisms cannot be predicted or simulated by computing machines, because biocommunication does not function mechanistically and is not algorithm dependent[18]. The genome itself, via natural genome editing[19], generates large amounts of coherent new sequences and inserts these into DNA genomes without damaging essential protein-coding regions. This is not possible for any human-made software. Therefore, despite the bold visions of Craig Venter, it will not be possible to create digital life in the future. The 20th century DNA-based models and concept cannot integrate current empirical data into a coherent picture of how the real life functions. We need new concepts that will be able to integrate all the currently available empirical data on viruses, mobile genetic elements and the abundance of non-coding RNAs most relevant for genome shaping, regulation and evolution[20-26].]

We are as much on the cusp of a Terminator scenario, in which robots try to kill the human race, as we were on the cusp of practical everyday space travel and robots indistinguishable in appearance and function from humans were in 1982, when Ridley Scott set a futuristic movie (Blade Runner) in 2019, where the preceding features were a workaday reality. Android, the phone operating system, has nowhere near the functionality of notional robots depicted in science fiction.

[FtrPilot]

You would be correct!

The AASM 250s are rocket assisted. JDAM-ERs and SDBs are not.

I wonder how far these bombs are released from the target...same for JDAM-ERs and SDBs.

I wonder what steering cues the Mig-29 pilots get.

On NATO jets, including F-16s, the pilot would get pitch and bank steering cues on the HUD and the PFD.

On the MiG-29s, the target coordinates are input on the ground.

On NATO jets, the pilot can input target coordinates while airborne.

Thanks for the ping!

No Global Hawk over the Black Sea since the Fighter Bomber claims, but now Rivet Joint just appeared over the Back Sea off Sevastopol right now with fighter escorts.

BREAKING: The US, Israel and Ukraine are in talks to supply Kyiv with up to eight Patriot air defence systems, dramatically improving its ability to counter Russian air strikes.

https://x.com/NOELreports/status/1806382832958263671

Eight more Patriot batteries and the Kinzahl & Iskander shoot down rate will climb dramatically.

One or two of these batteries need to be colocated with the F-16s.

A while back was an article that Israel was upgrading and replacing their systems. These are an earlier version?

[blitz128]

At least two batteries and a slew of gepards . The Russians will be throwing everything at them
Question, how many Patriot missiles are out there, how many do Israelis have

Been a few weeks since I heard about Israelis retiring the systems, what are they replacing them with

I recognized the quote and have posted it, but that was long ago, the quote is from March of 2022.

Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow.

Yes, but they may be upgraded before arrival in UKR.
