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.

Yes Jon there have been accounting errors.
Let’s say you have a 50 year old car like a M-113 😂, and you paid 100k for it back in the 60s , but it has been sitting in your back 40 for decades and you donate it to goodwill for a tax write off, you can’t claim a 100,000 write-off
But hey what do I know I am just a “low IQ” grunt

[ Russian Positions Reduced to Ashes by Forest Fires. Ukrainians Exploit The Chance! ]
—
Today [ July 26 ], there are a lot of developments in the Serebryansky forest area.
Here, Ukrainians expertly set the stage for future counteroffensive operations, endangering the entire Russian salient toward the river.
North of the forest, Russians have tried for over a year now to eliminate the Ukrainian bridgehead east of the Zherebets River, to cross it and take control of Lyman, consolidating their gains in the process. Ukrainian defenses here have held firm, for a large part, due to constant Ukrainian operations in the forest, undercutting Russian logistics and any attempt at a westward assault.
Ukrainian brigades active in the forest have indeed demonstrated this, releasing many videos of them dismantling Russian mechanized assaults with a mix of drones and artillery fire. As you may remember, Russian units in the area were suffering from an extremely high casualty rate, allowing Ukrainians to counterattack and regain many lost positions.
The frontline in the forest, on the other hand, is inherently static due to the high density of trees and trench fortifications covering the entire area. However, recent successful Ukrainian counterattacks have shown that Ukrainians can advance in the forest under the right circumstances and with specialized assault brigades.
Russian military analysts noted that this opens up the possibility for Ukrainians to launch a localized counteroffensive in the forest to attack the Russian Dibrova-Kuzmyne-Kreminna line of settlements.
If such a Ukrainian assault proves to be successful, instead of just harassing the Russian salient, Ukrainians would be able to cut it off completely, undoing over a year of Russian offensive efforts.
To achieve such an ambitious goal, Ukrainians have to create ideal circumstances and take the most advantageous tactical and strategic positions. To get to that point, Ukrainians must first eliminate the threat of Russian attacks to focus all their preparations and resources on offensive actions.
Ukrainians continue to reinforce the forest area with manpower and strengthen their positions against Russian artillery and assaults.
Ukrainian and International Brigades active in the forest continue to engage in small-scale skirmishes with Russian units and positions. These brigades shared a multitude of footage showing them repulsing Russian attacks and harassing Russian positions with small arms fire, machine guns, and rocket-propelled grenades.
Ukrainians were even able to advance a tank up to Russian trench fortifications, destroying them with the continuous, direct fire of high explosive grenades.
The Ukrainian 63rd Mechanized Brigade shared footage of them firing at Russian positions in and around the forest with conventional, cluster, and rocket artillery, as well as showcasing the extensive use of drone-dropped grenades. Ukrainians targeted Russian drone capabilities, tracking and destroying a Russian reconnaissance drone team behind Kreminna.
The 12th Special Purpose Assault Brigade was most prominent in the forest operations. They shared geolocated footage of them placing mines on Russian roads, thereby destroying a tank and an infantry fighting vehicle on their way to assault Ukrainian positions.
The 12th Brigade’s drone operators also state they hold Russian logistic routes in the forest under complete drone control. They state that they circumvent Russian electronic warfare systems in the fortifications themselves, by going around and striking Russian supply lines from behind, starving them of reinforcements.
It’s important to note that due to the previous large forest fires, which raged predominantly on the Russian side of the forest, many wooden fortifications, ammunition, and equipment burned down. While the fires simultaneously made it impossible to advance without serious risk, Russians were hit hard by these.
This caused Russian units operating in the forest to already be short on material and in desperate need to repair their positions, a shortage and damage that was only worsened by Ukrainian strikes.
With Ukrainian artillery drones and skirmishes disrupting Russian recovery and fighting potential in the forest, logistical strikes undermining Russian reinforcements routs and finally Russian drone reconnaissance capabilities weakened, it was time for Ukrainians to start launching assaults.
Ukrainians launched a series of rapid attacks on Russian trenches, strongholds, and fortifications all throughout the forest. The 12th Brigade Azov also took the lead in these trench battles, sharing GoPro footage of one of their operations.
The footage shows Ukrainians launching the attack in the early morning, right as the sun came up when Russians were likely still sleeping in their trenches. They coordinated their assault to move in simultaneously from all sides, surprising and overwhelming Russian defenders in an instant.
The assault group systematically moved through the trenches engaging and clearing Russian fighters out of their dugouts with grenades and small arms fire. The assault lasted no longer than 20 minutes and the fighters quickly took up defensive positions to repel a possible Russian counterattack.
In another raid as a fighter surrounded a Russian preliminary dugout, after which the 3 Russian soldiers inside immediately surrendered. In a later interview these Russian prisoners of War stated that they were being sent out with little training or support and that out of their company of 110 soldiers, only 30 were still alive.
The Ukrainian assaults were highly successful both Russian and Ukrainian sources reported that the Ukrainians had advanced over 1 kilometer in only one day. Russian geolocated footage also confirms the success of other Ukrainian assaults in the center, showing how Ukrainians repelled Russian assaults and survived Russian artillery and mortar barges.
Only one video shows that Russians were able to make it into one specific trench and encircle Ukrainian fighters in a dugout. Unfortunately for Russians Ukrainians had communicated their predicament whereafter numerous FPV kamikaze drones quickly came to the rescue, completely dismantling the Russian assault.
Overall the Ukrainian assaults were a massive success combined Ukrainian operations completely undermined the Russian defensive situation allowing for a series of well executed attacks on Russian fortifications in the forest.
Due to Ukrainian logistical strikes Russians could only master small squads of infantry to conduct their counterattacks, allowing them to be swiftly defeated. The Russian footage also shows that Ukrainians successfully held and secured their positions, massively increasing their area of control.
If Ukrainians can continue to undermine Russians in the forest they will be able to systematically clear Russian positions and fully expose the underbelly of the Russian salient.

The enemy is attacking our airfields again. What does this tell us?
The enemy attacked the Ryazan region, directly talking about a drone raid in the direction of the Dyagilevo airfield. This is the 3rd airfield attacked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in 2 days. In particular, it arrived very densely the day before in Crimea.
This time we did not fly directly to the Dyaghilevo airfield, but there is an unpleasant moment that is worth paying attention to. The drones were not noticed after crossing the border; they were identified and shot down literally on approach.
Moreover, one of the drones did not reach the airfield, but it was not hit by our air defense, but self-destructed after falling. Fortunately, no consequences.
It is worth noting that Dyagilevo is a parking and maintenance site for Tu-22M3 strategic bombers. This time we managed to repel the attack, but sources say that UAV raids are becoming more widespread, and the drones themselves are more difficult to detect.
This is also superimposed on the natural decrease in the amount of air defense that is lost during combat operations. At the same time, the need to protect Moscow and oil refining facilities has not disappeared.
Pilots and airfield maintenance personnel insist that it is long overdue to pay close attention to the arrangement of capital protection elements for our aircraft fleet. Otherwise, there is a threat of a sharp reduction in the number of aircraft in the next 1-2 years.

I said it before, if you don’t want to die for Zelensky and want peace, welcome to the west.

Most likely a mechanical malfunction caused by poor maintenance or supply/logistics.
As a result, an additional $2 billion worth of arms can be sent to Ukraine to cover the difference approved by the US.

So, $2 billion of old, expired, retired and no longer WRM weapons, ammo and other combat supplies will be properly disposed.
Shot down:
1/1 Kh-59/69 cruise missile
4/4 Shahed drones
In addition, eight more drones were shot down. Of which most were recon drones.

Do these drones have terminal guidance?
My guess is Ukraine target intel gets GPS coordinates of parked aircraft from satellite photos and attack the target coordinates.

The above link has a video of the crash site.
Debris is scattered over a large area.
This indicates that the aircraft was flying in a shallow descent at ground impact.
My guess is the aircraft had an engine fire or overheat condition.
The aircrew determined they could not reach a divert airfield so they ejected.
There has been no water supply in Vesyoly khutor, Stavropol Krai, Russia, since July 9, in the neighboring two khutors - since July 4. Russian authorities do nothing to solve the issue.
Drinking water is brought to the khutor every three days, but it is impossible to drink it because it is dirty.
Tsar Putin only cares about war, not about the well-being of his people. They seem not to realize the roots of their problem.

The war, which Russia has started against Ukraine, couldn’t have exposed in a clearer way the superior quality of Western weapons in virtually every metric.

Video at the link above is from an overhead ISR drone.
My guess is the ISR drone located the Russian BMP and vectored the M2A2 to a position to attack the BMP.
“The Ukrainian Air Force says these videos of Russian Iskander strikes struck decoys and false positions. Ukraine is crowdfunding to build more aviation and air defense decoys. “

What a blessed time we live in.
That’s disgusting. There is something very wrong with you.

Hungary and Slovakia are feeling the heat.
“Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico discussed resuming the transit of Russian Lukoil’s oil through Ukraine with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal. Fico proposed a “technical solution”. The Slovak government highlighted the importance of restoring this oil transit for the Slovneft oil refinery, as alternative oil sources are more costly and may not be suitable technologically. “
