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.

“After the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck the ferry “Slavyanin,” the Russian fleet withdrew from the Sea of Azov, according to Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk. Previously, the Russians attempted to base themselves there, but now they have abandoned the area, recognizing it as unsafe. Pletenchuk emphasized that the enemy only understands the language of force.”

“Summer 2024 Frontline Dynamics: Overview, Key Issues, and Projections
FRONTELLIGENCE INSIGHT
JUL 25, 2024”
“As global attention remains focused on the U.S. Presidential elections, it might seem that the frontline situation has stalled with no significant changes. However, our team has prepared a special report after closely monitoring the movement and composition of Russian forces, assessing their morale, and analyzing captured documentation and POW statements. Additionally, we’ve observed both positive and concerning developments within the Ukrainian army. This comprehensive report aims to clarify the current status on the frontline and offer insights into what we can expect moving forward. We have also addressed the question of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, exploring the feasibility of such talks in the near future and identifying the reasons why they would be difficult to execute.”

Anyone got some T80 engines sitting around?
“Equipment Movements and Availability: During June and early July, our team observed the movement of hundreds of vehicles from various parts of Russia toward Ukraine. Most of these vehicles were older models, likely restored and, in some cases, modernized, such as T-62s, T-55s, BMP-1s, and BTR-70/80s, with very few MTLBs. These vehicles have not yet made a noticeable appearance on the battlefield, suggesting they may either be assigned to new units being formed by the Russian army or are intended for future use later this year.
According to internal Russian documents in our possession, many damaged tanks have been waiting for parts replacements for over six months. Specific components, particularly those from the engine compartment, appear to be the most problematic, leading to extended waiting times. In some cases, shortages of engines for tanks like the T-80 have resulted in cannibalization of these tanks rather than fixing them, due to the unrealistically long wait for parts.”
“Morale Issues. Audio interceptions and individual Russian reports indicate seriously lowered morale among Russian forces, with infantry units showing signs of exhaustion. Some advancing Russian units have reportedly simulated communication problems to avoid further commands. In other instances, unit commanders have falsely claimed to face strong resistance and overwhelming force as a pretext for retreat. This pattern of behavior mirrors issues observed before, particularly after the defeat near Vuhledar in 2023, when units began sabotaging orders due to low morale. While this does not imply that Russian forces will cease their advances, the noticeable fatigue is unlikely to be resolved in the near months.”
“Recruitment. Overall, Russia continues to recruit a sufficient number of recruits; however, there are some evident problems. To meet recruitment quotas, Russian local governments have significantly increased sign-up bonuses, some of which have nearly quintupled compared to 2022 and 2023. For instance, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin signed a decree granting Moscow residents a one-time payment of 1.9 million rubles ($21,777) upon signing a contract with the Russian Defense Ministry. Similar measures have been implemented in other regions; in Volgograd, the sign-up bonus has reached 800,000 rubles (slightly over $9,000).
To put this in perspective, the median monthly salary in Russia in July 2023 was 53,571 rubles ($591.90), meaning that the sign-up bonus exceeds the median annual income in Russia. Regarding age and demographics, the median age of Russian soldiers has significantly increased. While a full report with more details is scheduled for next week, we can already say that the median age of Russian soldiers continues to increase as the war progresses. This trend indicates growing shortages among the younger demographic pool.”
“Considering that monthly losses of vehicles far exceed replacement figures for nearly all types of vehicles, including attack helicopters, tanks, and IFVs, it is unlikely that Russia can sustain frequent large-scale offensive operations for years to come. This does not mean that Russia is running out of vehicles or will cease advancing altogether. With assistance from North Korea, Iran, and partially China, Russia can continue to sustain localized, company-sized offensives and maintain control over newly occupied territories. Occasionally, they may launch larger operations; however, it remains unclear whether Russia will achieve significant enough goals to internally justify the ongoing war and the associated losses, including the worsening economic well-being of regular citizens.”
(Considering that losses exceed replacement) “it is unlikely that Russia can sustain frequent large-scale offensive operations for years to come.”
I believe that is true at the Strategic level. At the Operational level, Kyiv Independent reports, an anticipated culmination in September:
Russia will be forced to scale down its attacks in a month and a half, Ukrainian commander says
“Russia will be unable to maintain the scale of its attacks in multiple sectors for a long time because its “capabilities are not unlimited,” General Oleksandr Pivnenko, the commander of Ukraine’s National Guard, said in an interview with Ukrinform published on July 25...
...”In another month and a half, they will not be able to conduct active assaults in many directions at once and will switch to defense.”
Pivnenko stressed that at a time when Russia will be replenishing its troops, Ukraine must pay attention to preparing its own reserves and armament. If Ukraine plans “one step ahead of Russia, then everything will be fine,” he added.
“The most important thing that can be done now is training, development of training centers, procurement of weapons and military equipment, production of military equipment, drones, armored vehicles, air defense systems, man-portable air defense systems, and ammunition,” Pivnenko said.
Moscow currently fields some 520,000 troops in Ukraine and plans to raise this number to 690,000 by the end of the year, according to Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi.
“When it comes to equipment, there is a ratio of 1:2 or 1:3 in their favor,” Syrskyi told the Guardian.
The Ukrainian military said that Russia has lost over 570,000 troops killed or wounded as of late July.”
I hate it when white folk fight each other. Whites need to stick together in this racially charged totally f’d up world. Putin and Z need to make peace.

Gotta distinguish between right and wrong. Putin attacked to steal. He has committed mass murder.
Let’s not lose sight of the crime going on.

“Race supersedes everything. Everything. EVERYTHING is racial. Everything.”
What part of our society, culture and government is not racial or at least has a racial angle?
The Senate.
While Trump is leading in swing states, the Dem Senate candidates are also leading.
Right now, polls indicate Rs 51-49. With a pickup in MT and WV.
The Ds who wanted to get rid of the filibuster, will suddenly love it again.
“Although most news over the last two weeks has focused on the presidency, one key to how effective the president will be is the composition of the Senate. The latest polls indicate that Democrats still lead in the swing state Senate races, but it likely won’t be enough for them to hold the Senate in November.
The latest batch of Senate polls were conducted by Public Policy Polling and Rasmussen Reports. In both polls, the two closest Senate races were Arizona and Pennsylvania. In Arizona, Democratic incumbent Kyrsten Sinema is leaving the Senate after her first term, leaving the seat open for two competitors. The current race is between Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego, who has served in Arizona’s 3rd District since 2023, and Republican Kari Lake, who lost the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial race. Both polls had Gallego up by three points over Lake, similar to the current 3.3-point lead Gallego holds in the RCP Average for the Arizona Senate race.
In Pennsylvania, David McCormick, former CEO of the multi-billion-dollar asset management firm Bridgewater Associates, is challenging incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, who has served since 2007. Both polls also had Casey up by three points, indicating that his lead might be narrowing, as the RCP Average has Casey up by 5.8 points.
The polls also surveyed Wisconsin, where entrepreneur and real estate developer Eric Hovde is challenging two-term incumbent Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin. In the Rasmussen poll, Baldwin led by four points, while in the PPP poll, she led by 10 points. The RCP Average for Wisconsin has Baldwin ahead by 5.4 points.
In Michigan, incumbent Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow announced she will leave the seat after serving for 24 years. To replace her, Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who has served Michigan’s 7th District since 2019, is facing former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers, who served in Michigan’s 8th District from 2001 to 2015. Slotkin led by three points in the Rasmussen poll and 10 points in the PPP poll, and the RCP Average shows Slotkin ahead by 6.5 points.
The last state, Nevada, was only surveyed by the Rasmussen poll. The poll has first-term Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen leading veteran and businessman Sam Brown. In the Rasmussen poll, Rosen leads by three points, and the RCP Average for the Nevada Senate race has Rosen leading by four points.
The Public Policy Polling polls were conducted from July 10 to 12 with 537 to 597 registered voters per state for Clean and Prosperous America. The Rasmussen Reports surveys were conducted from July 5 to 12 with around 1,000 likely voters per state for the Heartland Institute.
Despite the Democratic leads in all the swing state Senate elections, Republicans are still poised to take back the Senate after the November elections. Currently, Democrats hold a two-seat majority, 51-49, but with West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin’s retirement from the Senate, his seat is effectively guaranteed to turn over to a Republican, as Trump won the state by 39.1 points in 2020.
As can be seen in the RCP Senate Map, all the toss-up Senate races are seats currently held by Democrats, meaning Republicans only need to win one other seat to take a majority in the Senate. This includes a Montana Senate race where Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Tester, who has served since 2007, faces Tim Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL and founder of Bridger Aerospace, a firefighting and aerospace company valued at around $140 million. The latest poll had Sheehy up by five points, with the RCP Average showing Sheehy up by 1.5 points.”
