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.

President Zelensky reported that Ukraine is working on security agreements with none more countries, including Czechia, Slovenia, and Ireland.
Nine more would bring the total to 32.
RuZZian Boy!
I mean Jon Boy!

That quote was obviously cut off mid-sentence, in an apparently deliberate attempt to take it out of context.
He was talking about the Border, which is a big issue for him. He was likely comparing his concern for that, as something that he cared about much more.
Oops, I meant to address you on post #3823.

More ruzzian ISR drones are being shot down.
How are they being located?
This was reported by the resource of OSINT-researchers of combat operations "Oryx".

Much is being said about Trump and Vance being anti-Ukraine aid
Also about ukranian lives being lost yet never about Russian lives being lost, that I always find fascinating.
I think predictions on what Trump will do are about as accurate as govt stats. as I have seen him in action and his words are often interpreted to mean one thing and another happens
Can ending the war in “24 hours “ also mean something like, no more pussy footing around, no restrictions on targets or aid. Putin leave now or else….

[ Russians Conduct a Suicidal River Crossing in a Desperate Attempt to Unblock Trapped Troops ]
—
Today [ July 15 ], there are a lot of updates from the Kurakhove direction.
Here, after several failed attempts to gain more ground west of Novomykhailivka in the past month, the Russians started preparing for their biggest attack so far.
To achieve this, they amassed a substantial force of armored vehicles and infantry across several villages situated along the frontline in the region. In response, the Ukrainians took proactive measures to thwart all Russian efforts to penetrate their defensive line.
As battles in the region are characterized by mechanized Russian assault, which the Ukrainians counter with the vast creation of minefields and the usage of drones for intercepting enemy armored columns and for surveillance, the first step for the Ukrainians was to open the sky for more extensive drone operations.
To achieve this and enhance their defensive capabilities which rely heavily on drones, they began proactively hunting Russian air defense assets. The following geolocated footage was taken by a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle Shark, which is locally developed and used not only for monitoring but also for adjusting fire on the battlefield.
It has an effective range of up to 80 kilometers and in this instance, it showcases its potential by operating nearly at its limit, as the distance from the frontline to the located target exceeds 60 km. The drone operator identifies a pair of Russian TOR-M1 surface-to-air missile systems, which are stationary at the time but have radars capable of tracking targets while on the move.
The next image shows a rapid development as one of the Russian TOR-M1 systems launches a rocket against the Ukrainian drone which was detected. Fortunately, the missile misses within meters, and moments later the drone captures how a called-in HIMARS strike hits the shooting air defense system, and then a second strike destroys the other one as well.
The destruction of such valuable Russian air defense assets opened the skies in the region successfully for the Ukrainians, so they were able to improve their control of the air just in time as the Russians soon started their biggest assault that we have seen in recent months in the vicinity of Novomykhailivka.
As all previous attempts of the Russian forces here failed, due to the Ukrainian multi-layer tactic of creating death zones with the combined use of mines, artillery, and FPV drones, this time the Russian commanders decided to use stronger assault groups than before, and to try a simultaneous attack on 3 vectors - to the north, to the south, and in front of the village.
This tactical approach aimed at overstretching and overloading the local defense which could have led to an effective breakthrough at one of the vectors.
After suffering heavy losses of equipment in other areas due to the Ukrainians’ effective use of anti-tank mines, the Russians prepared for an attack north of Novomykhailivka by deploying a T-72B3M tank equipped with a mine trawl, intended to clear a path for the subsequent assault group.
However, the early detection of the tank by the Ukrainians allowed them to swiftly intercept and destroy it with kamikaze drones. The released geolocated video footage shows multiple hits on the tank, successfully thwarting the initial Russian move in this direction.
Simultaneously, for their attack on the southern vector, the Russians reused the pathway west of the small village of Solodke. This route was partially cleared of mines and familiar to them from a previous offensive attempt.
This time, they assembled a larger attack group consisting of tanks, various other armored vehicles, dozens of motorcycles, and infantry.
Due to the size of this formation, they lost the element of surprise and were quickly spotted and engaged by soldiers of the Ukrainian 72nd Mechanized Brigade. The Ukrainians targeted the Russians with artillery and FPV drones once they were within range.
The shocking footage not only captures the deadly Ukrainian attack, but also reveals the devastating aftermath, with more than 10 Russian armored vehicles destroyed, including tanks, MT-LBs, BMP-1s, and BMP-2s.
The images of burned-out motorcycle remnants and heavily wounded Russian soldiers hiding, underscore the suicidal nature of yet another Russian attack.
Judging by what happened up to this point and what was happening at that moment during the frontal Russian attack against Kostyantynivka, military analysts evaluated that both flank attacks north and south of Novomykhailivka were an attempt by the Russians to divert the attention of he Ukrainians from their main move.
Ahead of it, Russians targeted Ukrainian defense positions in Kostyantynivka with artillery, and then launched a serious assault using all available means in their arsenal, including a turtle tank, several of their most modern battle tanks T-90M and T-80, accompanied by MT-LBs and BMP-3s.
The extent of the used assets showcases the magnitude of the Russian ambition to enter this village and establish a foothold there, but the geolocated footage that the Ukrainians shared once again, highlights their own preparedness and defensive capabilities when dealing with such powerful offensive endeavors.
The dynamic tactic used by the Ukrainians included the use of powerful anti-tank mines, guided anti-tank rockets, and FPV drones, as well as the American-made Switchblade-600 loitering munition.
Once all armored vehicles were disabled the Ukrainians again used some of their best drone operators to finish them off, as well as to hunt down any surviving Russian soldiers, which effectively ended this main Russian frontal attack and put them under pressure to conduct yet another operational pause.
Overall, the scale of the Russian attacks has increased dramatically, as they opted to conduct a three-dimensional assault with larger and better-equipped units. Ukrainian forces were well-prepared for this development, having targeted Russian air defense systems shortly before these attacks.
This proved invaluable, as it allowed them to monitor the battlefield and the Russian rear, adjusting their tactics to destroy enemy equipment and personnel before they reached the zero line.
The situation in the Kurakhove direction remains dynamic, and even though the Ukrainians have forced the Russians into an operational pause to regroup and replenish their units, another assault is surely imminent.
Correct title to above post.

Putin praised AvtoVAZ and remembered the idea of transferring officials to domestic cars
Vladimir Putin arrived at the opening of a section of the M-11 highway driving a Lada Aura. According to our information, the President liked the car, he asked to convey a few minor wishes to the developers, but overall he was pleased with the trip.
Vladimir Vladimirovich immediately remembered that the idea of transferring officials to domestically produced cars had somehow stalled [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/2600 ] ( we wrote about this quite recently [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4096 ]). He instructed to return to this process and finalize the mechanism to begin a partial replacement of the vehicle fleet.
Lada Aura could become the basis of the future fleet if AvtoVAZ can increase production without losing quality. By August 1, a document with basic numbers and deadlines should be placed on the President’s desk.

Putin’s entourage spoke out about Trump’s choice and gave a forecast of how long the SVO will last
Changes in American politics, including the likely change of US President to Donald Trump [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4372 ], are unlikely to allow the NEA to be completed quickly.
“Many people expect that Trump will become President, and we will immediately win. And the fact that he chose a politician who opposed aid to the Kiev regime ( J.D. Vance - ed. [ https://t.me/rusbrief/249899 ] ) as the future Vice President drove everyone into euphoria. I want to cool down the hotheads,” said our source in Vladimir Putin’s close circle.
“We have a goal to win - and no one will do it for us. Neither Trump, nor his Vice President. Don’t forget that Trump did a lot of nasty things to us in his time [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/3971 ], you know about them. I still don’t understand why he publicly rejected Vladimir Vladimirovich’s peace plan,” he explained.
The SVO, according to our interlocutor, will last at least another 3-4 years. It is very important that people in high positions, including the President, realize this.
When we asked if there was any hope that Trump would cut or completely stop arms supplies to Ukraine, the source replied: “It’s better to rely on yourself. Alas, now some of us are fighting, while others are living as if nothing had happened. It shouldn’t be this way.
“Victory is everyone’s business!”
“ fire at low-voltage equipment plant”
Toasty!
“the idea of transferring officials to domestic cars”
…would likely need the approval of the new Chinese overlords, who now own the Russian car market.
“The SVO, according to our interlocutor, will last at least another 3-4 years… some of us are fighting, while others are living as if nothing had happened. It shouldn’t be this way.”
Sounds like some North Korean lifestyle discipline may be in the offing.
JD Vance is a drill baby, drill, proponent of developing American oil and gas production.
Over the space of an Administration, that alone can take a big chunk out of Russian and Iranian power.
I think that Biden is playing footsies with Putin right now. Allowing Russia to evacuate remaining Black Sea fleet to Novorossiysk while ending US Global Hawk drone surveillance of the Black Sea entirely 3 weeks ago.
