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.

That’s what Kamela said.
“Black Colonel” V. Alksnis, 7/28/24
https://t.me/s/blackcolonel2020
[ Viktor Imantovich Alksnis, people’s deputy of the USSR, deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation of two convocations.
Why “black colonel”? That’s what the liberal media called me in the 90s, accusing me of wanting to stage a military coup. ]
In conditions when the Russian army has proven unable to achieve a fundamental change in the fighting in the Northwestern Military District zone, more and more new plans for a “peaceful settlement in Ukraine” are appearing. But basically they boil down to Russia’s recognition of its defeat and its unconditional surrender.
On July 25, former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and American lobbyist David Urban outlined Donald Trump’s option for a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian conflict in a column for The Wall Street Journal.
According to Mike Pompeo and David Urban, if Donald Trump wins the election as President, he will implement a $500 billion Lend-Lease program for Ukraine, achieve a ceasefire in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and put forward a number of conditions for a future deal with Russia.
Among them are Ukraine’s accession to NATO and the EU, the creation of a $100 billion fund for arming Ukraine, the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, the annexation of Donbass and Crimea to Russia without international recognition, the demilitarization of Crimea and the payment of reparations to Ukraine at the expense of frozen Russian assets.
What does it mean to “annex Donbass and Crimea to Russia without international recognition”? In my opinion, this means the recognition of these territories as temporarily occupied by Russia and, accordingly, the continuation and even tightening of the sanctions regime with the aim of “de-occupying” them. And the demilitarization of Crimea means the withdrawal of the Russian army from its territory, including the Black Sea Fleet.
What fate awaits the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions? There is not a word about them in Pompeo’s plan. But according to the amendments made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, these are subjects of the Russian Federation. And the transfer of Russian territory to a foreign state is unacceptable.
What will happen to the land corridor to Crimea? What will happen to the North Crimean Canal and water for Crimea? But what about consent to Ukraine’s entry into NATO? After all, preventing this was one of the main reasons for the SVO?
It is bitter to realize that for Russia a situation of chess zugzwang [ Game disadvantage due to obligation to move ] has developed, when any move only worsens the situation.
But the blame for this of the USA, NATO and Ukraine is very limited, since the weak are always beaten. The leadership of the Russian Federation is mainly to blame for showing us beautiful cartoons and making noodles about the second most powerful army in the world.
But in reality, they did not deal with the problems of the combat effectiveness of the Russian army and rearmament with modern weapons, getting off with tank marathons, storming the plywood Reichstag and building an Orthodox church in Patriot Park.
And moreover, it deliberately pursued the policy of the largest de-industrialization in world history, destroying thousands and thousands of industrial enterprises, including the military-industrial complex, which ultimately led to huge problems in providing the army and navy with everything necessary for war, including the military-industrial complex.
“A crashed Russian Su-34 in Volgograd caps off one of the worst weeks on record for Russian aviation with several classes of aircraft being destroyed or damaged, including one long range Tu-22M3 strategic bomber, several helicopters, fighter jets and bomber aircraft.”

“‘Disastrous’ Russian birth rate putting country’s future at risk, Kremlin says”
“The Kremlin said on Friday that it was “working hard” to reverse declining birth rates in Russia, warning that “disastrous” demographic trends were putting the country’s future at risk.
Russia has faced a myriad of demographic challenges since the collapse of the USSR, including an ageing population, an outflow of men due to the conflict in Ukraine and the lowest fertility rate in 17 years.
“It is now at a terribly low level – 1.4 [births per woman]. This is comparable to European countries, Japan and so on. But this is disastrous for the future of the nation,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a media festival.
“Anyone with many children is a hero. We live in the largest country in the world. And there are fewer of us every year. And the only way to cope with this is to increase the average birth rate,” Peskov said.
Russia had a population of about 148 million people at the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991, a figure that now stands at around 144 million after a protracted period of high deaths and low births in the 1990s.
The country’s birth rate has not recovered since Soviet times despite President Vladimir Putin’s government offering generous payouts and mortgage subsidies to large families.”
BRICS, RICKS, DICKS
“China’s population facing ‘largest absolute population loss’, UN says”
“There is a 50 per cent chance China’s population could return to a size comparable to the late 1950s by 2100, the United Nations says”
“China could experience the largest population decline any country has ever experienced, according to the United Nations, with a 50 per cent chance it could lose more than half of its current population by the end of the century.
The ongoing population decline in China is due to it having fewer women of childbearing age, delays in people getting married, as well as the growing popularity of not having children altogether.”
“Japan will commission its latest “ship killer” missiles one year earlier than originally planned, its defence ministry said, citing the need to counter regional threats including China’s growing military might.
Details of the upgraded Type-12 surface-to-ship missile were revealed in the Japanese defence ministry’s annual white paper published earlier this month.”
“The US says it has successfully practiced using a low-cost bomb to sink a major surface ship. China is taking note”
China taking note and then nothing. Or why we should fear the Chinese Military.

Chinese troop armor plate is so bad, UKR troops sold captured units online. So bad that, even though it has a Kevlar liner and ceramic plate, and can stop a bullet from an AK-47, it deforms so much that the troop ends up in the ICU.
Daily training means training to the breaking point, this after a morning of gardening to grow the veggies for diner and followed by a self-criticism session at night. Push ups are judged sufficient when a piece of paper under the troop is soaked in sweat.
Soldiers’ kit is so bad that, if it does not fall apart on the way to combat, it will likely fail once combat begins, assuming it has not been discarded as burdensome and uncomfortable.
China’s doctors, even in the military, has little to no experience with gunshot wounds.
Ground troops have little to no air support, and are still expected to be used in human waves.
Chinese Brigadier Generals earn less than a US Marine soldier.
If a Chinese officer screw up and troops get injured, the command is taken over by the political officers who focuses on political studies, not the original problem, while increasing losses & injuries.
But, the PLA is excellent at parade drills and precision marching in front of huge crowds! Wonderful films - they look so good!

German General Claims Zelensky Seeks NATO-Russia War to Retain Power
German General Harald Kujat recently asserted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is interested in escalating the conflict between Russia and NATO to secure his position of power.
According to Kujat, Zelensky sees a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia as the only way to avert a catastrophic military defeat and ensure his political survival.
When planning your Chinese vacation remember, do not eat the food.
Cooking oil is commonly transported in uncleaned petroleum/industrial oil trucks, pork lots in garbage trucks, water in sewage trucks, resulting in much cheaper business practices.
Prevailing philosophy: Chinese people are already immune to all kinds of poisons, so what’s wrong with adding one more?
Chinese professional cooks have their cooking flames rise very high. People marvel. The high flame is due to using “cooking oil” that is grade 95 industrial oil, rather than the more common grade 92. The grade is discernible on the grocery store shelf, as the same brand and type “cooking oil” will show different colors - the lighter the color, the higher the grade, the higher your flame will be when cooking diner.

Perhaps this is why we are seeing more ISR drones being shot down.
Impressive video at the link.
“Some Israeli officials are saying tonight: Israel response to Hezbollah deadly attack might lead to several days of intense fighting”
Looks like the answer to those annoying delivery drones.
Could be RuZZian disinformation, but could be true.
“Russia Today claims that these photos show “Ukrainian mercenaries” working on the side of the Tuareg militants in Mali.”
