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 am certain that these systems have been upgraded and well maintained.
The GEM+ missiles are highly capable against tactical ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.
The missiles are still in production with a contracted backlog of approximately 1,500 missiles and a near-term demand of an additional 1,000 missiles.
I do not know what Israel is replacing them with.
Below is a Wikipedia link with additional information on all Patriot configurations.
Ukrainian Artillery Group TIVAZ hints towards the destruction of an S-500 air defense radar by cluster ATACMS. This would be the first confirmed destruction of elements of this complex. Budanov recently confirmed Russia shipped this system to occupied Crimea.

“No matter how much you regret it.” The Kremlin is disappointed with Trump’s reaction to Putin’s peace initiatives
US presidential candidate Donald Trump called Vladimir Putin’s peace initiatives, which are a condition for ending the conflict in Ukraine, unacceptable. This position disappointed Vladimir Vladimirovich’s entourage.
“We thought he would understand that our peaceful initiatives are the best way to resolve the conflict. And Trump repeated other Western politicians who, for reasons unknown to me personally, do not yet take Vladimir Vladimirovich’s plan seriously. It’s a shame,” our high-ranking source said on this occasion in the Kremlin.
Another noted that this is not the first time Trump has “failed us” - first with military assistance to the Kiev regime, now with the assessment of our peace initiatives. “It would be a shame,” said the source, without specifying who he meant.
At the same time, he noted: there is hope that Trump spoke negatively about Putin’s peace initiatives “for the sake of a political game.” And he will change his mind.

There will be enough money until the fall. What’s next?
It’s no secret that in many regions payments for contract workers have increased significantly. The reason is obvious, although they try not to talk about it publicly - the number of people willing to participate in the SVO is declining. Even for a lot of money.
Moreover, the regions have been given the task from Moscow to ensure the availability of personnel. And here is the most interesting thing - competition has begun between the regions. Richer regions and governors allocate more funds for recruiting fighters, and residents of neighboring regions come to them to sign contracts.
A striking example is St. Petersburg. In St. Petersburg they promise to pay 1.3 million rubles just for signing a contract. In the neighboring Pskov region, regional payments are not provided for when concluding a contract. So the future participants of the SVO are going to St. Petersburg.
Politically, the heads of rich regions are trying to demonstrate loyalty to the plans of the central government. Plus, many people have elections coming up. We talked with two governors to understand what the real situation is with financing and provision of contract workers.
One of our interlocutors voiced the usual words - about the need for Victory at any cost, about civic duty and the need to protect our Motherland. At the same time, he himself had never been to the front and, according to our data, he repeatedly refused offers to go to the military, citing being busy.
The governor refused to talk about financial affairs in his region, which is not the richest. “We help as much as we can,” he said, adding that “Victory will be ours.” More recently, payments in this region have been increased.
We have known the second governor for a long time. He was more open and confirmed that the regions are indeed forced to pay a lot extra to contract workers due to the lack of a large number of willing workers.
“We are given a plan for volunteers, which is difficult to fulfill. We come up with benefits, add money, but there are not as many people as needed. At the same time, funding needs to be obtained somewhere. According to our calculations, there will be enough money to provide for contract workers and their families until the end autumn.
“Where to get the money next is not entirely clear. We are negotiating with large businesses and small entrepreneurs, but this is a drop in the bucket,” the governor said.
According to him, there are rumors among governors about the Kremlin’s plans to increase “death payments” ( for those killed in the Northern Military District zone ) at the expense of regional budgets.
A few weeks after the start of the offensive, 30,000 Russian troops are bogged down in the city of Vovchansk.
According to the publication, Ukrainian defenders defeated an elite Russian airborne brigade in the city.
It is noted that many Russian invaders refused to fight.

Russians refusing to fight?
Where are the Chechnian blocking troops?

Putin has always been afraid of President Trump.
Separately, Ukraine’s clustering of the Chechen barrier troops behind the lines of the Kharkiv front has been one of the untold reason for the Russian losses.
Marcus, if you get any info on the alleged S-500 take down, please ping me with your post. Thanks!

Dead. UKR artillery targeted them. See post #3230
Ukrainian channels excited but waiting for confirmation on S-500.
Russian Su-25 was shot down, too.
I believe that russian helicopters and Su-25s are now doing most of the CAS missions since the U.S. is allowing UKF to use Patriots to shoot down russian aircraft over russian soil.
I would not want to be a Su-25 pilot right now.
I believe there will be more helo & Su-25 shoot downs over the next few weeks.
More MANPADs please.
🤔 In the Moscow region, Russian cops decided to demonstrate their skills, but something went wrong….
