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 love Bulgogi.
I’ll predict NR does not get a majority and does not form a government. No NR prime minister.
“Russia cheers Marine Le Pen’s National Rally in French election”
“The people of France are seeking a sovereign foreign policy that serves their national interests & a break from the dictate of Washington & Brussels,” Moscow said.”
“The Russian government seems to have a clear favorite in the French election. Not surprisingly it’s Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally.”
Where Russia concentrates their fires, they are still able to slowly level the place, and grind forward. Chasiv Yar is probably their top priority now.
Kyiv Independent reports:
“ Ukrainian troops have withdrawn from the Kanal neighborhood of the embattled town of Chasiv Yar in Donetsk Oblast, said Nazar Voloshyn, the spokesperson for the Khortytsia group of forces, on state television on July 4.
The decision was made because defensive positions in the neighborhood were destroyed, and commanders agreed to withdraw to better-protected positions, Voloshyn said.”
“New prototype Russian IFV?
Previously unseen heavy Russian APC/IFV based on what appears to be and sounds like a T-90 tank chassis that was filmed at the Nizhny Tagil Uralvagonzavod factory training ground.
I think they are tired of blowing up all the time and are looking to develop something like the Bradley IFV. “

“New prototype Russian IFV?”
Perhaps they use the T-90 chasis because they have the tooling and capability to produce them (and the support tail would be common as well).
I think that T-90s are the only tanks they really produce nowadays, and only 100-200 per year.
Putting a smaller IFV-type cannon on it would allow a lot more smaller rounds to be carried on board, so shots could (theoretically) be spread over many more smaller targets, like fighting positions, during a rapid assault. In practice, it takes fire discipline to not just keep firing, in the heat of the moment. If nothing else, you can adjust fire more rapidly, than having to reload another big tank round.
The higher rate of fire from IFV cannons is more suppressive of enemy fire, while the destructive impact of tank main gun rounds is more reliably effective in neutralizing targets.
There are a lot of reasons to team them together in practice. The difference between American Armored (Tank) and Mechanized units in design, is the relative mix of the vehicle type.
Since they travel and fight together, it is a great idea to have as much commonality in spare parts and special tools required to sustain them, as possible.
Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch posted on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/realTomFitton/) that he hears that Biden will resign Monday (8 July).
President Harris?!?!?!

Just posted one.
Gracias.
Kazan, who has called for my murder on FR, must be very SAD.
“Le Pen Set to Fall Short of French Majority, Polling Shows”
“Marine Le Pen’s National Rally is set to fall well short of an absolute majority in the French legislative election on Sunday, according to projections from polling companies.
The far-right group and its allies are on course to win between 190 and 250 of the 577 seats in the National Assembly, based on four surveys released on Wednesday and Thursday. That would be significantly below the 289 that would enable it to pass bills easily and push through its agenda.”
Very interesting.
I’d be surprised, but its been a surprising election.
It worked with President Yanukovych, but the UKR people vetoed his scheme to return UKR to Russia's orbit rather than align with the EU. Yanukovych ran to Russia (of course).
Hmm, did he marry a round American woman and raise rabbits that she cooked for him? Buy a pickup truck, or maybe even a recreational vehicle?
Did the purges ever stop?
“The commander of the VDV’s 83rd Air Assault Brigade, Colonel Artyom Gorodilov, has been arrested on suspicion of fraud. He led the 76th Air Assault Division’s 234th Air Assault Regiment during the Battle of Kyiv, which committed atrocities in Bucha.”

“Exit poll suggests Labour have won a landslide victory with an overall majority of around 170 seats. The Conservatives are likely to record their lowest ever number of seats and share of the vote in a general election since 1832”
