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.

Poor Austin Boy. Maybe Bentley should have just hung out on the Drag and pestered college students.
“Russian Investigative Committee has concluded its investigation into the murder of US “volunteer” Russell “Texas” Bentley. Charges have been filed against three Russian Armed Forces servicemen.
According to the investigation, on April 8, 2024, the servicemen detained Bentley, subjected him to physical violence and torture, resulting in his death. They then allegedly destroyed his body by blowing up a VAZ 2115 vehicle with a TNT block. The suspects are also accused of attempting to conceal the crime by hiding the location of Bentley’s remains.”

Madison, Wisconsin. Home of the craziest of the crazy leftist radicals - makes CA look normal. Here everybody votes at least 2X in every race, 3X in Presidential races. Turn out is usually north of 120%.

But never fear, this city has been a Democrat stronghold for 125 years. Turn out approaches Madison with 120% in Presidential elections. No Republican poll workers allowed during ballot counting, windows all covered, guards on locked entrance doors.

“Why Putin’s Attempt to Rewire Global Trade Is Faltering, in Charts and Maps”
“Moscow redirected oil sales, but forging new routes for other commodities proves difficult amid high costs and U.S. sanctions”
“In the economic blowback from its invasion of Ukraine, Russia sought to pivot away from trade with the West and build new sanctions-defying links with the Asian powerhouses China and India.
Two-and-a-half years later, the flow of Russian oil has mostly rerouted along those lines. The profits have powered the Kremlin’s war machine. But, as sanctions grow more severe and its aging infrastructure proves inadequate, Russia is groping to shore up its wartime economy by opening new avenues for trade in its other commodities. Reorienting decades-old trade relationships, especially those involving hard-to-move commodities and goods, is proving tough to pull off.
Here’s a look at Russia’s efforts to rewire its trade routes and the challenges Moscow faces in doing so. “

“‘Private deal’ could let Ukraine fire missiles into Russia”
“Ukraine may be given private dispensation by the UK and US to fire long-range Storm Shadow missiles into Russia without making it public until the first one is fired.
Western diplomats are poised to sign off on the decision but could hold back from making an official announcement at the UN next week.
The Times understands there is wariness about publicising the move in advance to alert Russia.
An agreement could therefore be struck in private to allow Ukraine to fire the British and French-made cruise missiles into Russia with the element of surprise, diplomatic sources said.
The UK and France have already sent Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine, but only for use on targets within the country’s borders to fight back Russian invading forces.”

“The U.S. is preparing a $375 million military aid package for Ukraine. It will include patrol boats, additional HIMARS ammunition, 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds, spare parts, and other weaponry. The announcement is expected next week.”

“US likely to send medium-range missiles for Ukraine’s F-16s”
“The $375 million will be the largest package the U.S. has sent Ukraine since May.”
“The U.S. is considering sending Ukraine a medium-range missile for its new F-16 fleet as part of a $375 million military aid package expected to be announced Monday.
The Joint Standoff Weapon, already used by the U.S. Air Force and Navy and a number of allies, can hit targets over 70 miles away, giving Ukraine a major upgrade to the weapons it’s using to strike Russian forces and allowing them to do it at safer distances.”

I have heard that Powell is a Democrat, who personally hates Trump. Maybe an extra quarter point during the election season is his contribution to the Harris/Marx ticket.
Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu arrived in Iran for an unannounced visit on September 17 following recent visits to Syria and North Korea amid ongoing Russian efforts to secure military cooperation and support from non-Western allies. Shoigu met with Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Akbar Ahmadian and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during a previously unannounced visit to Tehran on September 17 and conveyed an unspecified message from Russian President Vladimir Putin.[14] The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) reported that Shoigu and Ahmadian discussed upcoming bilateral agreements and emphasized that Iran continues to support Iran's official policy regarding corridors and communication routes with Azerbaijan.[15] Pezeshkian told Shoigu that the Iranian government will work to increase cooperation and deepen bilateral relations between the two countries to reduce the impact of Western sanctions.[16] Shoigu also met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus, Syria on September 16 and discussed strengthening bilateral relations and regional and international security issues.[17] Shoigu previously recently visited Pyongyang, North Korea on September 13 and met with North Korean President Kim Jong Un for unspecified bilateral discussions.[18] Shoigu’s international visits are coming against the backdrop of Iran's recent delivery of over 200 Fateh-360 short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) to Russia, ongoing North Korean military support for the Russian war in Ukraine, and Ukrainian reports that Russia is hiring Syrian mercenaries to fight in Ukraine.[19] Russia's deepening engagement with the People's Republic of China (PRC), North Korea, and Iran is part of a wider Kremlin effort to establish a coalition of friendly states which can bolster Russia's defense industrial base (DIB) and secure strategic economic cooperation to support its war in Ukraine.[20]
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui in Moscow on September 17.[21] Lavrov and Choe discussed further developing Russian-North Korean bilateral relations in unspecified manners, and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) noted that Choe will attend the BRICS Women's Forum on the sidelines of the Eurasian Women's Forum in St. Petersburg on September 18-20.[22] Lavrov has recently fostered increased dialogue and cooperation with Russia's non-Western partners through various meetings on the ministerial level, including with Saudi Minister of Hajj and Umrah Tawfiq bin Fawzan Al-Rabieh on September 11, a BRICS foreign ministers meeting on September 12, and a meeting with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty on September 16.[23]
Russian authorities arrested the head of the Central Military District (CMD)’s armor service on September 18 on suspicion of receiving a large bribe, marking yet another corruption case against a high-ranking Russian military official since the April 2024 appointment of Andrei Belousov as Russian Defense Minister.[11] The Russian Investigative Committee announced on September 18 that it opened a case against CMD armor service head Denis Putilov for accepting a 10-million-ruble ($107,000) bribe in exchange for issuing contracts on the repair and maintenance of military vehicles to an individual entrepreneur named “Chudinov.”[12] The CMD is notably home to Russia's 90th Tank Division, and Putilov was very likely closely involved in overseeing the repair and maintenance of the suite of tanks and other armored vehicles that the 90th Tank Division uses in combat operations in Ukraine.[13] Since the start of Belousov’s tenure as Minister of Defense in April 2024, such corruption cases against senior Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) officials have become much more frequent — a result of Belousov’s apparent commitment to rooting out the corruption and addressing the mismanagement that plagued the MoD under former Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.[14] Putilov’s links to Shoigu remain unclear as of the time of this publication, but his arrest suggests that Belousov is attempting to crack down on corrupt and ineffective officials who are responsible for the sustainment of Russia's military assets, particularly increasingly scarce armored vehicles.
