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.

Hamas drone control center was neutralized through the destruction of the building.
Hamas rocket commander in central Gaza and 3 other commanders in Khan Yunis demilitarized. The commander had overall control of all of Hamas’ rocket forces - from placement to manufacture, from deployment to targeting and launch. He managed to absorb several bunker busters.
Refah:
Egypt has deployed 41 rocket systems, dozens of air defense systems, 26 tanks, artillery systems & hundreds of infantry were deployed on the Egypt-Israeli border at Rafa. Egypt continues its preparation as if it is going to enter a big war and continues to be aggressive.
Egypt has said they know nothing about the hostages and Israel should not operate in Rafah.
There will be no ceasefire until Refah has been completely cleared. IDF troops and tanks have been deployed very close to the border.
250 Hamas surrender as a group. Nowhere to go. All tunnels blocked, and area surrounded.

Israel fired about 30 missiles toward Hezbollah in Damascus & Latakia, but Russia shot down this second wave with its air defense systems in the region 4 days ago.
Tension building between Israel and Russia:
Large Iranian convoy carrying weapons and ammo, crossing from Syria to Lebanon hit by Israeli drones, and immediately, all Russian air defense systems activated and attacked the drones. The drones successfully left the area, but continued to monitor. The convoy was destroyed south of Al Kusair.
Russian jets entered the area along the Lebanon border and aggressively intercepted the Israeli drones and ensured their withdrawal.
The IDFAF sent 4 modernized F-16s fighters to the area and flew extremely close to the Russian planes on the borderline. The Russians returned to Syria.
Russia has started to send a large number of jets and new generation jets to Syria, along with at least 12 S-300 systems.

There will be news of Putin’s poor health and imminent death
This post was very much asked to publish a high-ranking source in the Kremlin. According to him, there is a group of influential people who want turmoil in Russia.
In the AP there are people who, let’s say, do not want Vladimir Vladimirovich to remain in power for a long time. They have allies among those military personnel who seek the speedy completion of the SVO. This group of people is now muting the water in every possible way, our interlocutor said.
According to him, soon, neat for the elections, news about the poor health and even the imminent death of Vladimir Vladimirovich may be thrown in. There will be other steps against the stability of the state. And this despite the fact that Vladimir Vladimirovich feels great and is ready to lead Russia for a long time.
The source did not name the pest, but said that he passed all the information about them there, I needed to. And he hopes that Putin’s enemies will not use the elections to “throw Russia into chaos.”
By the way, it was these opponents of the President, according to the interlocutor, who could have sent information through foreign embassies and diplomats about the threat of terrorist attacks in Moscow.
We’ve got it all on the nerves. Those who want the authorities and are trying to harm Vladimir Vladimirovich, can not only arrange a terrorist attack, and, for example, enemy drones on the capital.
“And I would be careful not only in the next few days, but all the time before the election. I hope nothing will happen, but vigilance has never interfered,” said our source.

Erdogan struck two strikes on Russia at a meeting with Zelensky
In Moscow, they are dissatisfied with the meeting between Erdogan and Zelensky, which took place the day before in Istanbul. Our Turkish partners are getting worse and worse. This is a disappointment, a source among diplomats told us.
According to another, what Erdogan is doing, “can be boldly called blows on Russia.” The first blow is public support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine. That is, Turkey agrees with the Kiev regime that Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk are Ukraine. It sounds silly, but that’s what Erdogan admitted. “The partners don’t do that,” our interlocutor said.
“The second blow is even heavier. We quickly found out that at the meeting, the Turkish President gave Zelensky the coordinates of a number of our important objects on the territory of the Crimea.
“Where he got them, the second question. But now, unfortunately, it is worth waiting for new missile strikes, and it is not clear where the enemy will hit. He has a lot of goals”, said to us a source in the SVR.
He confirmed that Erdogan continues to seek Turkish control over Crimea. “And in order to achieve this goal, I am ready to go to any meanness”.
“And the fact that the official Turkey is harassing in the image of a peacemaker (Erdogan proposed to hold a peaceful summit to resolve the Ukrainian crisis - ed.), simultaneously pointing missiles at the Crimea, makes the situation even more vile. I hope that Vladimir Vladimirovich will take measures,” said, in turn, a source among diplomats.

The tragedy in Taganrog. A veteran of the SVO set fire to the police station, there are dead
Unfortunately, the blow of drones on Taganrog, which occurred recently, the troubles of the city these days have not limited. On the evening of Friday, March 8, a police station in the city center was set on fire.
He was on fire. As a result, two policemen were killed, three more were hospitalized. The perpetrator managed to escape, from his search for us distracted a massive blow to the city, which occurred soon, - said a source in the Main Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Rostov region.
The arsonist was a veteran of the SVO, 44-year-old Vladimir K. (The name and initials have been changed in the interest of the investigation.) He fought in one of the Wagner PMC units, and served his contract in the spring of 2023 and returned to Taganrog. I tried to get into the army again, but he was not taken there because of the shattered psyche.
On the day of the arson, the suspect had a conflict with the police. He said they had offended his 39-year-old cohabitant. Well, a little hung with the police, he was calmed, but nothing serious, without much injury. In the evening, he purposefully went to the police station on Mechnikovsky Lane and set it on fire. We have two dead, three injured, one of them in serious condition, said another source in the police.
The perpetrator managed to escape, as the law enforcement officers say, “helped the combat experience.” He’s on the lookout now. The suspect in the arson is almost accurately armed with grenades and automatic weapons that he managed to bring from the front.
It should be noted that we have repeatedly written about the need to provide qualified psychological assistance to the military and veterans of the SVO. According to our data (I do not want to believe in them, but they are obtained from a very reliable source), the suspect in the arson several times for such help appealed. But he was refused, claiming that he was not a real veteran, and one of the bandits of Prigozhin.
“A hangar is reportedly on fire.”
Hope there’s an A-50 roasting in there.
“I imagine they (Russia) will push this strategy till they can’t”
I think so too.
Then comes the deluge.
Heads a’rolling at Russian Navy HQ
Kyiv Independent reports:
“Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov, commander of the Russian Navy, has been replaced with Admiral Aleksandr Moiseyev, Fontanka, a Russian news outlet, and Russian newspaper Izvestiya reported on March 10, citing unnamed sources.
The news comes amid reports that around 20% of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet had been destroyed as of December 2023.
Previously Moiseyev (new guy) had been the commander of Russia’s Northern Fleet.”
“Tensions between Israel and Russia are on brink of major war”
That would likely deplete the Russian Aerospace Force (VKS) in relatively short order.
Bet this guy is so happy /s
Like the field promotion in Star Wars, where Darth Vader crushes the neck of the failed Commander, and turns to the next guy and says Congratulations Admiral. Do not fail me.
Whoa … now there’s something I never thought I’d read. Life is getting way too interesting!

The enemy attacked Iskander complexes in the Rostov region, there were dead
In the Rostov region, drones hit our Iskander tactical missile systems. 2 launchers with 4 missiles were lost, 7 military personnel were killed .
“There was an attack by drones that we had not dealt with before. Probably some new development of the enemy. Unfortunately, it was not possible to repel this attack,” a source in the General Staff told us.
According to another, such a blow is the enemy’s revenge. Recently it became known that the Ukrainian army lost Patriot launchers on the territory of the DPR under its control. The attack on them was allegedly carried out precisely from those Iskander installations on which the drones arrived.
The Ministry of Defense refused to comment on information about such “revenge”, advising us “not to listen to individual military personnel who do not see the entire situation on the battlefield.”
Another source in the ministry said that many military personnel did not want to talk about hitting an enemy air defense system, “so as not to scare away luck and not cause a response from the enemy.”
“You see, they started shouting about Patriot, and we got an answer. When will the mouths of military officers and some military personnel be shut?”, our interlocutor was indignant.

First confirmation of the destruction of two launchers of the American MIM-104 Patriot air defense system near Pokrovsk.
Previously it was assumed that these could be S-300PS, but the appearance of the cockpit of one of the launchers, combined with information from the Donbass partisan about the operation of such an air defense system in the area, leaves no other options.
The destruction of the Patriot became the next point in the systematic work on Ukrainian air defense systems and radars in recent weeks along the entire front line.

Marine drones attacked the Dmitrov submarine in the Baltic Sea
The submarine “Dmitrov” (project 877EKM) was attacked by unknown naval drones in the Baltic Sea. The incident occurred on March 9 during the training of joint tasks with the Mozhaisk submarine, our sources in the fleet reported. We are not reporting the exact location of the attack for security reasons.
“The attack attempt was made in the dark. The drones were spotted approaching the submarine, and with heroic efforts we managed to eliminate all 3 drones,” the channel’s interlocutor said.
Thanks to the coordinated actions of the sailors, serious damage to the Dmitrov submarine was avoided, but there are minor issues that are now being urgently corrected.
It is important to clarify that over the past few weeks there have been rumors about preparations for the dismissal of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral Evmenov.
The inability to resist enemy drones and the submarine attack, according to our data, put an end to this issue. Hero of Russia, Admiral Alexander Moiseev, will now command the fleet instead of Evmenov.
It is worth recalling that Ukrainians actively use maritime drones in the Black Sea, but this is the first time in the Baltic Sea.
Whether NATO countries are involved in the attack is an open question, but the navy, to put it mildly, is shocked by the impudence of the attackers and expects new attacks.

Shoigu proposed to strike Ukraine with nuclear weapons. We’ll tell you why this didn’t happen.
The Western press revealed the fact that our army allowed a nuclear strike on Ukraine in 2022. In this regard, we report important details that the Americans kept silent about.
Let’s say right away: in the fall of 2022, we knew that the use of nuclear weapons and a harsh reaction from the West to them were possible. And at the request of a number of our acquaintances among the military, they tried to prevent such a scenario as being destructive for Russia.
In October 2022, we wrote about how the Americans personally threatened Sergei Shoigu in response to our country’s nuclear rhetoric.
At the same time, we were actually the first to warn about the threat of missile attacks on Moscow and about plans to temporarily move the Russian capital to another city. Many then accused us of alarmism, but we simply knew about the threats. And not only for the capital.
According to sources in the Ministry of Defense, the General Staff and the Kremlin, Sergei Shoigu then proposed to strike Ukraine with nuclear weapons. Several important enemy military installations located on the territory of the DPR under his control, as well as in the Kherson region (where the enemy offensive was then developing), Kyiv, Odessa and Lvov were considered as the target of the strike.
Shoigu conveyed his proposal to Vladimir Putin with the words “otherwise we may lose the Northern Military District”. The President took time to think, but in the end he was dissuaded from such a step by several generals from the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff.
They dissuaded him after receiving specific threats from the Americans. They warned that in the event of the use of nuclear weapons, not a nuclear, but a massive (using several hundred missiles) attack on Russia would be delivered.
Among the targets were, in particular, Moscow, many objects in Crimea, St. Petersburg and our troops in the Northern Military District zone. More than 30 regions of the country could come under attack, and in the United States they did not even hide where they would hit, and were confident that our air defense would not cope.
By the way, the President did not know these details then; the military told him more streamlined and not too specific information.
Since then, the issue of the use of nuclear weapons by our country has not been discussed. There is no readiness for a nuclear strike even now.
This is why many of our interlocutors say that it will be difficult for Russia to respond to the possible deployment of NATO troops to Ukraine. And that there is a serious threat of losing the Northern Military District if NATO troops appear there.
Although we, of course, believe in our victory. And the very entry of NATO troops into the territory of Ukraine, we believe, will indicate that the Kiev regime lost the war.

Putin invited Elon Musk to Russia again
Vladimir Putin had a short telephone conversation with Elon Musk over the weekend. Unfortunately, we don’t know many details about this conversation, but we will tell you what we managed to find out.
Firstly, the Kremlin was the initiator of the conversation. The AP is hopeful that Musk will still be seen in Russia. The President voiced a personal invitation to Musk, arguing that it was possible to exchange useful data in the space industry.
Secondly, Vladimir Putin promised Elon Musk to share his impressions of using a Tesla car. Let us remind you that the head of the Presidential Administration Anton Vaino ordered an exclusive Tesla Model X car for Vladimir Vladimirovich on the occasion of the new Presidential term. So far, Vladimir Putin has not used the gift, but he knows that one is being prepared.
Thirdly, the President invited Musk to the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. The multi-billionaire was unable to respond affirmatively to the invitation. Last year Elon Musk did not come.
Our sources also hinted that the interlocutors managed to discuss the future of the United States and Russia after the elections. It’s no secret that Musk supports Donald Trump. The Kremlin also hopes for his victory.
First parking these assets close together needs to be investigated
2nd, the fact that these are first loses is actually quite remarkable.
3rd there is no lack of patriot systems, believe US alone has 55+, the lack of sending appropriate amounts to Ukraine is
4th iron dome would seem to be the better choice for dealing with drones in particular, wonder if souring relations with Russia will finally cause Israel to release the dome…
That is interesting, does Russia have the assets to spare, and will these action finally convince Israel to send weapons to Ukraine like iron dome, and anti drone EW
