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.

Maybe Germany can give some of its land to RuZZia and let Ukraine keep all of its land???
“German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is working on a plan for a peaceful settlement between Russia and Ukraine, which is intended to bring Moscow to the negotiating table, La Repubblica has said.
According to the newspaper, it could involve territorial concessions from Ukraine, and the plan “does not rule out the transfer of some Ukrainian territories to Moscow.”
Scholz wants to go down in history as the “chancellor of peace” and, disappointed by the failure of elections in eastern Germany, hopes to improve his position by “playing the Ukrainian card,” the newspaper said.”

Back in black
I hit the sack
I’ve been too long, I’m glad to be back
Yes, I’m let loose
From the noose
That’s kept me hanging about
I’ve been looking at the sky
‘Cause it’s gettin’ me high
Forget the hearse ‘cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cat’s eyes
Abusin’ every one of them and running wild
‘Cause I’m back
Yes, I’m back
Well, I’m back
Yes, I’m back
Well, I’m back, back
Well, I’m back in black
Yes, I’m back in black
Back in the back
Of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet, I’m a power pack
Yes, I’m in a bang
With a gang
They’ve got to catch me if they want me to hang
‘Cause I’m back on the track
And I’m beatin’ the flack
Nobody’s gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now
I’m just makin’ my play
Don’t try to push your luck, just get out of my way
‘Cause I’m back
Yes, I’m back
Well, I’m back
Yes, I’m back
Well, I’m back, back
Well, I’m back in black
Yes, I’m back in black
Well, I’m back, yes, I’m back
Well, I’m back, yes, I’m back
Well, I’m back, back
Well, I’m back in black
Yes, I’m back in black
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Take my love
Oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah
Well, I’m back (I’m back)
Back (I’m back)
Back (I’m back)
Back (I’m back)
Back (I’m back)
Back
Back in black
Yes, I’m back in black
I’ve hit the sack
“Dragon drone is a very effective means of smoking out or destroying enemy positions, - Advisor to the Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Fire is quite a frightening thing even for a trained soldier, when a position is burned out, a ammo is on fire. It is unlikely that the occupiers carry fire extinguishers or anything like that. The Dragon drone is a very effective means of smoking out or destroying enemy positions.
This drone uses a special substance, but we won’t say what it is. Our inventors have found a way to do all this as a single complex with the drone. Some call this drone Drakaris, others call it Dragon. This UAV burns out the enemy’s entire position, no matter what it is,” said Dmitriev.
Dmitriev added that the occupiers leave a lot of garbage near their positions, so everything burns even better.”

Meanwhile on a different thread they are reporting that China has amassed 40,000 tonnes of gold to fund BRICS.
one tonne = 1.19 US tons
“China’s central bank pauses gold purchases for a fourth month in August”
Chinese invest in property. Real estate is down 30%, so they are suffering.
“Chinese Stocks on Verge of Five-Year Low as Recovery Hopes Fade”
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chinese-stocks-verge-five-low-031211814.html
Their stock market is at a 5 year low.
They have few investment options. Chinese gov bonds and Gold.
If Gold reverses and heads lower.... Chinese will suffer AGAIN.
Times change, heroes remain.

David Knowles, the Telegraph journalist behind the award-winning Ukraine: The Latest podcast, has died.
Mr Knowles, 32, who worked as a senior audio journalist and presenter, died while in Gibraltar on Sunday following what was believed to be a cardiac arrest.
He joined The Telegraph in 2020 as deputy head of social media and was later promoted to head of social media.
Upon the outbreak of the Ukraine war in 2022, Mr Knowles launched Ukraine: The Latest, a weekday podcast that is still running two years later.
Cardiac arrest - We should not exclude foul play
His last Ukraine: The Latest | Podcast | The Telegraph
Why am I on your ping list?
I assumed that a “NATO warrior under Reagan” would be on the list, but I will remove you from the list if you wish.
“David Knowles, journalist behind Telegraph’s Ukraine war podcast, dies aged 32”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yet another true conservative pro-western hero assassinated by some FSB poison...
We have been through this a few times, quit doing it.
Do not just add people to your ping lists.
May David Knowles rest in peace.
Given the tetchiness and inclination towards violence of the Russian security services, I would have been leery of drinks I did not personally see being prepared, when abroad. RIP. No - Gibraltar isn’t technically abroad, but it is across from Spain, where the Ukrainian helo pilot defector was killed. The Spanish security services seem asleep at the wheel, more often than not.
I was surprised to learn recently that 63% of Africa identifieS as Christian.
Sleep is essential.
Ukrainian drones flying to Moscow region right now.
