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.

Ukraine invaded, quick lets steal some TVs.

“1/ As Ukrainian forces advance in the Kursk region, law and order in frontline Russian-held areas is reported to have collapsed completely. “Rampant looting” is said have broken out – being done by the Russians themselves – while local residents say they feel abandoned.”

...

“5/ A local resident says: “They are robbing stores, there is a collapse in Korenevo, the “Magnit” [supermarket, pictured below] was simply destroyed. There is no water, no gas, no electricity.”

“The “Black Swan” UAV unit of the 225th Separate Assault Battalion destroyed a Russian military truck in the Kursk region.”

“”As of today, 28 settlements are under enemy control, the depth of penetration into the territory of the Kursk region is 12 kilometers, and the front’s width is 40 kilometers” - Kursk region acting governor told Putin. Putin interrupted him and said not to mention numbers.”

“How Ukraine pulled off its biggest gamble: invading Russia”

“As Volodymyr prepared to enter Russian territory, adrenaline ran through his veins. It was not lost on him that 81 years ago, another battle in Russia’s Kursk region marked a turning point for Europe.

He and the other soldiers of the 82nd air assault brigade listened to their commander’s instructions: eyes open, move swiftly and keep your country in your thoughts. Then, after a short prayer and a battle cry of “Glory to Ukraine!” they set out to invade Russia — the first foreign army to do so since the second world war.

“We entered Russian territory for the first time at 1pm on Tuesday [August 6],” Volodymyr said. “We were among the first to enter there.”

To his astonishment, his unit faced no resistance as their eight-wheeled, 20 tonne US Stryker fighting vehicle stormed across the border in broad daylight.

They soon encountered a Russian unit “sitting in the forest, drinking coffee at a table”, Volodymyr recalled. “Then our Stryker drives right into their table.

“We killed many of them on the first day,” he said. “Because they were unarmed and didn’t expect us.””

“Russian military bloggers now claiming that the size of Ukraine’s incursion has expanded to cover 720 square kilometers of Russian territory.”

RuZZia is slowing Ukraine down by surrendering.

“UNBELIEVABLE PROBLEM TO HAVE

💥💥💥 “Ukrainians in the Kursk region of Russia face a logistical problem called ‘captives.’

No one expected that there would be hundreds of prisoners. Mostly these are conscripts who surrender without a fight.

Now they have to be documented, videotaped and transported to POW camps, which have to be prepared to receive large numbers of people at once, so the logistics are stretched to the limit.””

SU-24. First introduced in 1974

“Russians published a photo of a FAB-500 with a glide module on ​​a Su-24 front-line bomber.

Ukrainians suugest that “the enemy had to adapt the old Su-24 to the glide module due to the shortage of modern Su-34.”

Who thought that Russian resources are infinite?”

“😁 Friendly Fire 😁

🇷🇺Russian Ka-52M helicopter destroyed its own 152mm self-propelled artillery 2S19M2 «Msta-S» in Kursk region.

But as usual, the Russians wrote that it was Ukrainian equipment...”

“The military writes that one of the most positive consequences of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ operation in the Kursk region is the large number of not just prisoners, but conscripts.

It is noted that, based on the experience of the war, they are trying to exchange them all and quickly.

This is probably due to the fact that almost all of them have families with mothers, but they can create problems unnecessary for the authorities.

They can create problems for the authorities that are unnecessary. These are not prisoners or chmobics that no one needs.

So, we can expect that we will be able to exchange many of our guys relatively soon.

There are a number of other moments directly from the fighting in the first two days:

- The engineering reconnaissance did a great job. All the minefields were uncovered in advance, the demining went off without any losses, the passages were chosen very well.

- The surprise was just terrible for the orcs on the first day.

- The excellent work of the raid groups of the SZG and the airborne brigades was noted.

The panic in the immediate rear ( of ruzzians ) was honorable.”

Its all going strictly according to plan.

“Ukrainians deployed heavy air defense systems, including Buk M1s and artillery systems, such as the US supplied M777 howitzers, in the captured territory.”

The caissons are rolling along with the Ukrainian Army, deeper into Russia.

Send more Artillery!

Ukrainian Intelligence hit a gold mine on Russian Logistics in near real time!

The capture of Sudzha may not seem grand on a map but the capture of the railway station may allow Ukrainian Intelligence direct access into Russian Railway Computer Systems, Schedules, Train Consists, and internal Russian Railway Communications from Dispatch to Defect Detectors.

Sudzha station besides being part of the Lgov-Belgorod Line that I've highlighted previously is part of the Moscow Railway division, which must be causing panic in Russian High Command knowing that the enemy has real time capability to view your logistical movements.

Reported incident of friendly fire among Russian army on the Kursk front. Russians mistakenly took the Russian column for a Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group: “Russian helicopter Ka-52M attacked Russian military column, as a result of which 2S19M2 Msta-S was destroyed.”

This morning Russians published such a message and photos. But then they deleted it all:

«On the night of 10-11, a sabotage and reconnaissance group entered the village of Krivitskiye Budy, Belovsky district, Kursk region. 2 self-propelled guns (Msta-S), one Ural and an infantry fighting vehicle (western). Opened fire on the locals. Missed. Our helicopter saved us. It destroyed one self-propelled gun (detonation of the ammo), the other one is either damaged or ran out of fuel! The self-propelled gun is standing in the middle of the street! Thanks to the pilots! If anything, there is a photo!»

Clear indication that ruzzia has no clue as to the location of Ukraine forces.

Also, no communications between ground troops and CAS aircraft/helos.

Fun Fact: The Axis of Advance of Ukraine’s attack into Russia, is straight toward Moscow.

Coincidence?
