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.

But it’s important. Judging by the reports from the Ministry of Defense, we are repelling the enemy everywhere. We are smashing his forces everywhere, destroying his columns. But at the same time we are announcing an evacuation in another district of the Kursk region.
In general, it is worth praising that the acting governor is not repeating Suja’s experience; this time people were not abandoned to their fate. Now it is important to be in time before active clashes begin in the Glushkovsky district.
Kurchatov, by the way, was dug in. But the interlocutors note that the work is worth continuing. Some in Moscow insist that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will seize the Kursk nuclear power plant. Meanwhile, the fighting is already 10-12 km from Lgov. This city should be protected.

Moskalkova was given two urgent tasks
On Wednesday, August 14, a conversation took place between the human rights commissioners of Russia and Ukraine. There was talk of an exchange of prisoners. It is worth noting that during the week of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ offensive on the Kursk region, Kyiv’s negotiating positions on this issue have strengthened. Moreover, the Ukrainian Ombudsman Lubinets insists that the conversation took place on the initiative of Tatyana Moskalkova. We were unable to either confirm or refute this information.
According to our data, over the past week, 563 of our military personnel were listed as missing. Most of them could have been captured.
There is information that Moskalkova received the task of priority and quickly releasing from enemy captivity the FSB officers and fighters of the Akhmat unit who were among the first to take the battle in the Sudzhansky district. Sources reluctantly noted that at least 25 Akhmat troops could be in the hands of the Ukrainians. Including officers.
As for conscripts, the situation is more complicated, since at least 300 conscripts could have been captured by Ukrainians. According to our information, the authorities decided that conscripts will fight in the border regions along with others.

Its not an incursion, its an invasion.
“‘The special military operation just got extended’ Russian elites expected Ukraine’s incursion to end within days. Now they’re starting to panic.”
“Russian politicians and officials are very alarmed by Ukraine’s cross-border incursion, according to Verstka’s sources. A source from the Moscow Mayor’s Office told journalists that panic is growing among his colleagues. He compared the situation to the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. “That also seemed like it wouldn’t last long — but it turned out to be a long-term thing,” the source said. Initially, Moscow officials believed Russian forces could end the attack in “two or three days, or a week at most,” but this proved false; the incursion is now in its second week.”

Awaiting confirmation.
Ukraine breaching a soft spot in Russia's border was likely carried out based on US intelligence.
This was a done to create the illusion they are making progress so the DC warmongers will send them more money..

Not easy.
Many videos on this topic, and this one was fun.
Sport shooters take aim at drones

That said try it when your adrenaline is pumping fast and your heart rate is maxed.
A friend wanted me to do a RUN/SHOOT biathlon.
I have a 10 Meter range in my basement.
A hot hour ride on my bike coming home at MAX heart rate; it drops off fast. Quickly to the range ...
HR dropped from max to ~85% ... the sight picture jumps with my pulse.
I had some concerns of missing the small target.
The big guys can time it with the trigger pull.
I’ve been ambushed and run through the jungles a few times, spray and pray is SOP, but it is unlikely to work on a drone.
A bit late for that, if you ask me.
Also note Belousov's audience. Everyone looks very important and even pretends to write down valuable instructions from the minister.

The video at the link above claims they will protect infrastructure.
Where have we seen this picture?
Ukrainian forces have started to take out bridges in the Glushkovsky district, starting with the biggest and most important one in Glushkovo itself. Apparently, GLMRS missiles punched several holes into it. The damage is already severe enough to prevent any heavy-duty trucks or tanks to cross the bridge.
This tactic is reminiscent with Ukrainian strike against the Antonovsky Bridge in Kherson. Back then in 2022, HIMARS missiles damaged the bridge so severely that no heavy load could be transported. It ended with the decisive Russian defeat in Kherson and Russia’s withdrawal.

OilPrice.com reports:
“On Wednesday (14 Aug) the Russian government said that Moscow is extending its ban on gasoline exports from October to the end of December 2024”
Also, they noted that what fuel Russia is exporting (naphtha, diesel), is increasingly having to take the long route around Africa to Asia,rather than through Suez. Before Putin screwed everything up, most of it just sailed a few days to Rotterdam, or even less.
