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.

I have bad feelings about JD.
I rather liked that Tom Cruise ‘stunt’.
Should have been holding the Olympics flag when he jumped out of the plane instead of in his backpack...

900 days of Russia’s 3 day war.
Note the red line on the map, depicting the defensive line that Russia constructed. Ukrainian forces rolled right over them, seeming to maintain good gas mileage on their vehicles.
Looks like the time may soon come, for the Artillery to jump forward, to maintain support for the forces in contact. That would mean taking guns into Russia, maybe even HIMARS.

[ Russians Use D-Day Tactic to Cross The Canal ]
—
Today [ Aug 12 ], there are a lot of updates from the Kursk direction.
Here, the Ukrainians launched an incursion into the Russian territories and managed a deep breakthrough far beyond Russian defenses.
To put this offensive into perspective, in just three days of active operations, Ukrainians gained more territory in Kursk [ 400+km2 ] than Russians in three months in Kharkiv [ 179km2 ], and in this video I will tell you exactly how that happened.
The initial goal of the Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance force was to swiftly penetrate deep beyond the Russian border using highly mobile units reinforced with armor. These actions were intended to pave the way for the main Ukrainian offensive forces.
The tactic was the following: Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance units scout the area for Russian positions, analyzing the terrain, and systematically neutralizing Russian border defenses.
Afterward, the main force move into the secured territories to consolidate control. The initial assault force was composed of 300 Ukrainian fighters, supported by 11 tanks and 20 armored vehicles. This force included elite elements from the 88th and 82nd Air Assault Brigades, some of the most formidable units in the Ukrainian army.
The primary Ukrainian assault group stationed in the village of Yunakivka was tasked with eliminating Russian positions at the Sudzha border crossing. Success in this attack would allow Ukrainian forces to utilize the P-2000 highway to advance toward the regional center, the town of Sudzha.
Meanwhile, another assault group positioned in the village of Novenke, north of Yunakivka, was assigned to seize control of the border villages of Sverdlikovo and Nikolayevo Darina, securing the northern flank of the advance.
Securing control of these two villages would allow the assault force to dominate the highway at Sverdlikovo, effectively cutting off Russian reinforcements from the nearby town of Korenevo. A third group, also stationed at Yunakivka, was tasked with capturing the villages of Guyevo and Kurilovka to protect the southern flank from potential Russian counterattacks.
The offensive began with Ukrainian shelling of the Russian garrison at the Sudzha border crossing. Combat footage from the area shows significant damage to the crossing, with Russian troops being suppressed and forced to take cover in the buildings.
Additionally, the Russians abandoned a tank at the crossing, as most of their soldiers were caught off guard by the intensity of the Ukrainian artillery barrage. An attempt by Russian forces to deploy 2 additional old T-62M tanks from the town of Sudzha ended in failure, as both were quickly destroyed on the road.
In response, the Russian command deployed a Mi-28 and a Ka-52 attack helicopters to counter the Ukrainian assault groups. However, the Russian pilots, lacking an accurate understanding of the scale of the Ukrainian offensive and the evolving situation, were unable to effectively engage the enemy.
Both helicopters were eventually shot down. In a video released by Ukrainian drone operators, one can see the Mi-28 being hit and brought down by an FPV drone, a tactic previously unseen in the war.
As their positions at the checkpoint were unsustainable, losses too heavy, and reinforcements destroyed, over 40 surviving Russian soldiers at Sudzha checkpoint surrendered to Ukrainian assault groups. Surviving Russian soldiers got taken into captivity, and it is estimated that a total of 300 Russians surrendered in the Kursk direction.
The Russian forces were small and dispersed along the border, making it easy for the Ukrainians to isolate and eliminate them, given that reinforcements were far away. As the Ukrainian spearhead successfully destroyed the main Russian formations at the border, the main Ukrainian force took advantage of this success, advancing over 10 kilometers across the front toward Sudzha and its flanks.
This success at the border allowed the Ukrainians to swiftly enter the town of Sudzha, driving the surprised and disorganized Russian forces back to the right bank of the Sudzha River.
The Russians had relied on their border guards as the primary defense before the town, but the scale of the Ukrainian assault formations, coupled with their superior firepower and tactics left the border guards unable to hold their position.
To secure their gains the Ukrainians deployed heavy air defense systems, including Buk M1s and artillery systems, such as the US supplied M777 howitzers, in the captured territory.
This deployment significantly bolstered their firepower and enhanced the security of the offensive, allowing them to more effectively suppress scattered Russian strugglers across the region before launching the main assaults.
By establishing a foothold in Sudzha the Ukrainians can quickly deploy mobile formations aboard US supplied Striker armor vehicles to advance along the Russian Regional 38K004 road. The armored Striker groups utilized their high mobility firepower and mechanization to deploy Ukrainian storm troopers throughout the Kursk region.
This operational strategy allowed them to swiftly cease control of over a dozen villages from isolated Russian forces. Villages such as Malaya Okyna were caught off guard by the overwhelming firepower and strength of the Ukrainian fighters.
This elite Ukrainian formations were later sent over 35 km behind Russian lines in small armored vehicle groups to examine the Russian defense weaknesses. This way the Ukrainian fighters can examine the weak points in Russian defenses to determine the next area of assault.
Upon completing the first phase of the Kursk offensive, the Ukrainians began testing Russian defenses in preparation for potential attacks on the villages of Martynovka and Dimitrokv.
An assault in this direction would enable Ukrainian forces to encircle the Russian units in eastern Sudzha operationally. The complete capture of Sudzha would provide the Ukrainians with strong positions for both offensive operations and defensive preparations.
Overall, the clever Ukrainian tactic of utilizing mobile sabotage groups in combination with heavy reinforcements, the lack of a coherent Russian response to the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk oblast, and the reported rate of Ukrainian advance, indicates that Ukrainian forces were able to achieve operation surprise along the border with Russia.
A Russian analyst estimated that based on the square area of the captured territory, it would take the Russians 1 year to regain lost territories, if the Ukrainians dig in.

Belousov was invited to Kursk to participate in the procession against the offensive of Ukraine
We wrote that Andrei Belousov decided to transfer the relics of St. Matrona of Moscow and several icons for the religious procession in Kursk. They want to carry it out to stop the advance of Ukrainian troops. We learned that the Minister of Defense received an offer from Acting Governor Alexei Smirnov to come to Kursk and personally take part in this religious procession.
“Andrey Removich received an offer. But now he has a lot to do. I don’t know if it will be possible to come to Kursk,” our source close to Belousov said about this.
At the same time, many military personnel who are now in the Kursk region believe that it would be nice if someone from the country’s leadership visited the region and “showed that everything will be fine.”
“Of course, we don’t expect to see Vladimir Vladimirovich here. But I personally would be glad to see the Minister of Defense or the Chief of the General Staff. Many fighters are not very motivated; they need to improve their morale. Moreover, even Shoigu visited the front. But we have more hopes for Andrei Removich,” an officer we know explained to us.
At the same time, we have information that several priests are going to independently organize religious processions in Kursk and the region. “People believe that they will stop the enemy - with prayer, icons, relics of saints. God will save people like them. Together with our entire country,” a source in the Church close to Patriarch Kirill commented on these data.

Is it true that the Ukrainian Armed Forces defeated another column of our troops?
In the comments under our posts they write that the 272nd Motorized Rifle Regiment allegedly came under a massive attack by drones. Allegedly, the troops moved in a column and suffered serious losses in the Kursk region ( the other day a column of our troops near Rylsk came under attack from an MLRS ).
We have verified this information. There is no information that would confirm it. At least for now. Our interlocutors at the army command noted that after the incident in the Rylsky region, troops were strictly prohibited from moving in columns. Even at night.
“If someone gave the order to march in a column, you need to contact the ministry. And under no circumstances should you march in this form. Especially in the border areas,” said our interlocutor at the Ministry of Defense.
In general, sources note that there are problems with the transfer of equipment locally. “There are a lot of enemy drones in the air. We have now deployed drones and electronic warfare systems to the Kursk region, but there are problems with their effective use,” explained an interlocutor close to Valery Gerasimov.
According to him, one of the main tasks now is to raise the morale of the army. “Everyone understands that the enemy needs to be destroyed. But a lot of our people were captured. Especially conscripts. We are conducting an investigation into why this happened,” said the channel’s interlocutor.

Keep those fingers crossed and that Kursk region-wide religious ceremonies will motivate your friends to drive the invaders out, because you certainly cannot count on Russian troops to do the job as they are now.
