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.

“”We will cut heads off! We cut off and we will cut off heads!”
This is what Adam Delimkhanov, a State Duma deputy from Chechnya, reportedly says during a session in the context of a discussion of the confrontation between Chechens and Ingush in front of the Wildberries office.
In Russia, the law hasn’t worked for a long time, and everything is decided by organized crime groups, clans, and private armies. “

“Putin and what army? Why Russia keeps putting off mobilization”
“Exactly two years ago, with the Russian Armed Forces facing catastrophic manpower shortages on the front in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin announced a “partial mobilization.” The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) had just executed a lightning counteroffensive that liberated large swathes of the Kharkiv region, and Kyiv’s troops were already preparing to do the same around Kherson. Although Russia managed to stabilize the situation in 2023, rumors of a new wave of mobilization have never ceased to circulate, and the recent Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region has given them new momentum. Russia’s acute personnel shortage is evidenced by the facts that Russian commanders are forcing wounded soldiers back to the front, that its army is still making use of poorly trained conscripts, and that after nearly two months, Russia still has not been able to dislodge Ukrainian forces from Kursk Region. Military experts believe Russia could mobilize another 300,000 troops, but that it would struggle to equip and arm them. Meanwhile, mobilization would come at a huge political cost, as those Russians who might have been willing to take up arms have largely already enlisted, and drafting men who are reluctant to fight presents a series of added difficulties.
On the battlefield in Ukraine, August and early September were marked by Russia’s offensive in the Pokrovsk sector of the Donetsk Region. While the advance was fairly rapid by the standards of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Russian “war correspondents” have been complaining almost constantly about shortages of personnel and the resulting exhaustion within the advancing group. More and more wounded soldiers in recovery are being forced back to the front, and UAV operators and servicemen from other military branches are being transferred to serve in the infantry (1, 2).
As a result, pro-war Russians are wondering whether a new wave of mobilization is in order, especially since Ukraine has reinvigorated efforts to expand its ranks with the adoption of a draft dodgers law. If Wall Street Journal sources are to be believed, Russian commanders were already emphasizing the need for mobilization to Putin more than six months ago.
To the displeasure of the “patriotic” crowd, Russian officials at various levels of government continue to assure the public that no new wave of mobilization is planned (1, 2, 3), and they frequently report on the supposed successes of contract military recruitment — which is stimulated by frequent pay raises for those willing to enlist voluntarily. The Russian leadership most likely expects to meet at least its short-term military objectives — such as the complete capture of the Donetsk Region — without calling a nationwide mobilization.
The Kremlin’s calculations do not seem to have been affected by the Ukrainian breakthrough into Russia’s Kursk Region: according to estimates from Ukrainian military observer Kostiantyn Mashovets, the Russian command managed to pull roughly 35,500 troops to this sector in a few weeks by transferring reserves from quieter parts of the front. As a result, Russian forces even launched a counter-offensive and regained control over several villages.”

“Another challenge Russia will inevitably face with the anticipated new mobilization is a shortage of arms and military equipment. With the help of satellite images, OSINT analysts regularly document the depletion of Russia’s stocks of tanks, armored fighting vehicles, and artillery. In addition, the effort to de-mothball all existing stocks is limited by the country’s repair plant capacity and the condition of the remaining vehicles and is hardly sufficient to make up for equipment losses at the front. Under these conditions, the capabilities of newly mobilized units would lag far behind those of the first wave, not to mention of Russia’s “pre-war” brigades and divisions.”
“Israel targeted the leader of Hezbollah in a massive airstrike against the militant group’s headquarters in Beirut on Friday, according to a U.S. official, two Israeli officials and two people familiar with the matter. The attack dramatically escalates the conflict in Lebanon and throws into doubt whether the Biden administration can clinch a cease-fire deal to head off a full-scale war.
It remains unclear whether the strike successfully killed or wounded Hassan Nasrallah, or if he was even in the building that was hit.”
While Zelenskyy strong-armed Democratic leaders into signing artillery shells that will kill children and another check for $8 billion, @realDonaldTrump stood firm for U.S. interests vowing quick peace and fiscal sanity. DJT has made Republicans the party of peace and skilled diplomacy.

meanwhile, reports that 9 Iranian surface to air missiles have entered the US to target DJT’s Plane.
I wonder if there is anything remaining of Hezbollah leadership. Seems almost all of them have been killed. If IDF killed Nasrallah, then I expect fireworks over the next few days, but with or without Nasrallah, they may lack the command and control to plan and execute a well coordinated attack, and end up just losing more capability.

“Israel’s Channel 12 news reports the assessment in Israel is that Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was killed in tonight’s IDF strike on the terror group’s underground HQ in Beirut.
Its on-screen headline reads, “The assessment in Israel: Nasrallah is eliminated.”
A second major Israeli TV station, Channel 13, is slightly more wary, stating, “Cautious optimism in Israel: The strike on Nasrallah succeeded.”
“Zainab Nasrallah, daughter of Hezbollah leader, reportedly killed in Beirut strike”
““Hard to believe he [Nasrallah] got out of it alive,” an Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post”
“I wonder if there is anything remaining of Hezbollah leadership”
This strike was targeting a top leadership meeting in an underground bunker. A quick series of about 6 big blasts (2,000 pounders?) dropped three apartment buildings onto them.
There could possibly have been a lot of the top leadership home when it blew up.
Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, September 27, 2024
Russian authorities appear to be expending a significant amount of effort to influence the Western debate about allowing Ukraine to use Western-provided weapons to conduct long-range strikes against military objects in Russia. This Russian effort suggests a deep concern with the operational pressures that such strikes into Russia would generate on Russian offensive operations in Ukraine, although US officials remain hesitant to permit Ukraine to conduct such strikes. The New York Times (NYT), citing unnamed US officials, reported on September 26 that US intelligence assessments “play down” the effect that Ukrainian strikes into Russia with US-, UK-, and French-provided long-range missile systems could have on the course of the war in Ukraine due to Ukraine’s limited number of such weapons and uncertainty around the future provision of more long-range systems.[20] NYT noted that officials within the US military and Biden administration who support the policy change stated that Western-provided weapons would allow Ukraine to strike more distant Russian bases and ammunition warehouses and force the Russian military to relocate ammunition depots, command posts, attack helicopters, and other materiel out of the range of Western missiles, which the officials noted would significantly complicate Russian supply lines in Ukraine.[21]
Even a small number of successful Ukrainian long-range strikes could have asymmetric impacts and prompt Russian forces to move significant military and storage facilities outside the range of Western-provided weapons and further away from the frontline - complicating Russian logistics in the vicinity of Ukraine. Ukrainian forces previously conducted a series of HIMARS strikes against Russian ammunition depots throughout occupied Ukraine in Summer 2022, which prompted Russian forces to disperse ammunition storage facilities and degraded the efficiency of Russian logistics.[22] Russian authorities are likely concerned about how moving ammunition depots and other critical storage facilities further away from the frontline and outside the range of Western-provided systems will impact Russian offensive capabilities in Ukraine and appear to be engaged in a significant rhetorical effort to prevent the West from allowing Ukraine to conduct another similarly significant strike campaign.
Had already seen this earlier yesterday. But it is not surprising, the media showed the same lack of “interest “
in Obamas past.
As a side note, was watching a man(who is black) on a stage debating a white leftist “woman” about white privilege.
He made this point. If white privilege exists, and this”privilege “ is a positive for whites. Why did Obama identify as black when HE is undisputedly half white.
Surly if being white is an advantage he would have identified as white.
