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.

Ruzzians will build the trench and UKF will occupy the trench shortly after it is completed.
Of course, the ruzzian trolls claim this explosion was caused by NATO missiles.
The explosion was caused by ruzzian FAB bombs.

“A number of rumors swirling through Russian milblogger channels tonight about a new Ukrainian push in Kursk, aimed eastward at the towns of Belitsa and Belaya, and their rail/road junctions.
The eastern town, Belaya, is now reportedly under a mandatory evacuation.”

1120 out of 1000 Ukrainians killed. Hahaha. Hohoho.
Now I know where the RuZZian Boys on FR get their math lessons.
“As Ukrainian Forces Grab Russian Territory, the Kremlin Maintains It’s No Big Deal”
“In the five days since Ukrainian forces pushed into Russia’s Kursk region, at least 76,000 Russian civilians have fled the fighting—some seen racing away in shrapnel-peppered cars. A tent city for refugees is being set up in the regional capital.
The first major foreign military invasion of Russian territory since World War II, the Ukrainian incursion caught Moscow by surprise. Kyiv’s forces have advanced at least 20 miles in from the border and raised a Ukrainian flag in the town of Sudzha.
Videos posted online show a column of Russian reinforcements taking heavy losses Friday near another town in the area, Rylsk, and Ukrainian troops released footage with well over a hundred Russian prisoners. At least three Russian combat helicopters have been shot down, according to Russian military analysts.
Still, on Russian TV—and in the Kremlin’s pronouncements—the tumultuous events of recent days are presented as nearly routine, with Ukrainian forces usually referred to as “saboteurs” who are “attempting” an incursion. President Vladimir Putin described the advance of Ukrainian armored units as “yet another large-scale provocation.”
The chief of Russia’s general staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, said no more than 1,000 Ukrainian troops were involved. Russia’s Defense Ministry later said 1,120 Ukrainian troops have been killed, sparking online ridicule of the defense establishment by Russian nationalist bloggers.”

Gerasimov, remove the conscripts from the border area!
Dear readers, an absolutely unacceptable situation has unfolded around conscript soldiers serving in the regions bordering Ukraine. On the first day after the Ukrainian Armed Forces broke through our border in the Kursk region, it was the conscripts, together with the border guards, practically without weapons, who were forced to take the fight. And they accepted him heroically! As a result, some died, many were captured.
Nobody prepared them for such a turn of events. Although we have repeatedly written about the need to prohibit the sending of conscripts to the Kursk, Belgorod and Bryansk regions.
Now it turned out that there were no serious fortifications or real concentration of troops there, and this led to a real disaster.
Now the Armed Forces of Ukraine, through provocations and targeted breakthroughs, are “testing” our border in the Belgorod region. At the same time, no one can guarantee that, having sensed a weak point, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not repeat the breakthrough in this sector of the front.
No one will expand the zone of the SVO to the Kursk region - this will deal a serious blow to the vertical of power, and directly to the President. But at the very beginning of the Northern Military District, the President promised that conscripts would not take part in hostilities.
Then why doesn’t the command withdraw conscripts from the border regions? This should have been done immediately after the breakthrough!
But there was no one to hold back the enemy’s advance, so the holes had to be plugged. Now that at least some reserves have arrived, the time has come to replace conscripts with more experienced military personnel. And give relatives honest information about those killed and captured.
According to the source those are Russian conscripts.

Why can’t the APU be stopped?
Many critical publications have appeared in military correspondents’ channels over the past week. And many of them are to the point.
Intelligence completely failed the stage of preparation for the enemy’s big breakthrough. By the end of the week, Ukrainian troops had already broken through several sections of the border. So far, lone DRGs have been spotted in the Bryansk region, but the authorities on the spot should not yawn either.
Interlocutors at the Ministry of Defense admit that in the first days there was real chaos on the ground.
“Some units were transferred to the DPR 2 days before the breakthrough of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Perhaps we are talking about targeted sabotage. An investigation is underway. Also, our troops did not have electronic warfare systems or secure communications equipment in the Kursk border area.
“From surprise ( the attack - Ed ) the military They left the battlefield in entire squads, the enemy used this to advance deeper into the region,” said a source in the Ministry of Defense.
According to an interlocutor at the General Staff, the transfer of reserves took an prohibitively long time. It was precisely by haste that he explained the movement of military columns.
A strike on a convoy in the Rylsky region claimed the lives of 143 servicemen!
The big problem with reserves is that for some reason there is no visual evidence of the successful battles of the Russian Armed Forces that military correspondents talk about. There is a fear that the official bodies and related telegram channels are lying again.
Separately, it is worth saying that the local residents offered practically no resistance to the enemy. The FSB attributes this to the fact that mostly pensioners lived in the border area.
It is also important to emphasize that the Ukrainian Armed Forces use a large number of drones and electronic warfare systems, which was not the case in the Kursk region. And because of this, among other things, our aviation is suffering. We have not yet published exact figures on losses, but everything is serious there. Alas.
In general, the enemy uses a maneuverable approach and it is very sad to see that, by and large, our command was unable to oppose anything to them. It is likely that some personnel adjustments will be made in the General Staff. In any case, this would be a logical solution.

The military assessed the threat of losing Kursk and attacking Moscow
According to sources in the Ministry of Defense, the threat assessment was carried out on behalf of Vladimir Putin.
“I want to tell you good news. The threat of us losing Kursk now is no higher than 5-7%. An attack with an offensive on Moscow seems unrealistic to us in principle. The threat of drone and missile strikes is much higher, and work is underway to combat it,” said one of our interlocutors.
When asked why such an assessment was carried out at all, he replied, “The enemy behaves unpredictably, and we must take into account all the risks.”
At the same time, all sources refuse to give forecasts about what awaits the Kursk region. The situation in the region remains difficult.
Borders are wide open, both ‘border guards’ & the Russian National Guard have fled from all checkpoints.
Everything is abandoned and smoking.”

Peak China
“China’s Nightmare: A Second Trade War With Trump”
“China’s struggling economy is overly reliant on exports, making it more vulnerable to the punishing tariffs the Republican nominee is proposing”
“China was bruised by its trade war with the U.S. under President Donald Trump, but ultimately bounced back. If Trump wins the White House in November, round two will be much tougher. “
“Studies published by universities in China and Stanford University found Trump’s first round of tariffs not only pinched exports but squeezed corporate earnings, hurt business and consumer confidence and throttled investment and hiring. Economists say those effects would be repeated and amplified this time since Trump would impose tariffs on every Chinese import. “
KURSK: “Now it turned out that there were no serious fortifications”
Sounds like corrupt RuZZian officials stole the money to buy vacation homes in Florida.

“(RuZZian) Borders are wide open”
I think the RuZZian Boys on FR who pretend to be concerned with the US / Mexico border should set their priorities straight.
Guessing invasion force is 6-10,000.
“Ukraine aims to ‘destabilise Russia’ with thousands of troops in Kursk incursion”
“Official says Kyiv is seeking to ‘stretch the enemy’ and western partners were ‘indirectly’ involved”
“Thousands of Ukrainian troops are taking part in an incursion aiming to destabilise Russia by showing up the country’s weaknesses, a top official from Ukraine has said as the assault entered its sixth day.
“We are on the offensive. The aim is to stretch the positions of the enemy, to inflict maximum losses and to destabilise the situation in Russia as they are unable to protect their own border,” the security official said on condition of anonymity.
Russia’s army had said about 1,000 Ukrainian troops were deployed in the cross-border incursion that began on Tuesday and appeared to catch the Kremlin off guard, allowing Ukraine’s forces to penetrate Russian defensive lines.
Asked whether the 1,000 figure was correct, the official said: “It is a lot more … Thousands.””
“Russian reinforcements fail to push back Ukrainian incursion”
“Russia has failed to push back Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region despite sending in reinforcements as the incursion enters its sixth day, Ukrainian soldiers involved in its army’s operation told the Financial Times on Sunday.
Speaking near the international border, the troops said they remained in Russian territory.
Russian general Valery Gerasimov has repeatedly attempted to portray the situation as being under control, with the defence ministry posting videos on Sunday of fighter jets and helicopters purportedly striking columns of Ukrainian equipment.
But verified videos and photographs show Ukrainian troops and equipment have advanced 30km inside Russia since the operation began on Tuesday, moving further into Kursk and occupying the town of Sudzha near the Russian border.”
