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.

“Israel’s security cabinet will convene on Thursday to vote on the country’s response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack, an Israeli official told CNN.
Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel’s response to Iran would be “powerful, precise, and above all – surprising.””
“Ukrainian GUR released footage from the launch of black ‘Bober’ drones that were used to attack the “Khanskaya” airfield in Russia’s Republic of Adygea last night.
“Fresh footage of successful operations against Russian occupiers. The fight continues,” they add.”

“UK could send troops to Ukraine on training mission”
“British military chiefs are considering sending troops to Ukraine to train soldiers in “secluded” locations to help Kyiv’s recruitment efforts, sources have disclosed.
Under the plans being discussed, small groups of British military trainers would travel to the west of the country to provide intensive basic training to new recruits before they head to the front line in the east.
This would solve some of the logistical issues that come with sending Ukrainian troops to UK bases for training and save money, according to two sources with knowledge of the talks.”
“Its too early for this war to end. RuZZia isn’t fully demilitarized yet.”
I mourn for the casualties, but Strategically, I must agree.
Russia should lose not only its taste for aggression, but also its capability, for a lasting peace.
Sounds like good news, “better” training for new Ukraine recruits. Just so long as the trainers really listen to what the experienced Uke Army folks have to share. Apparently, the last advice followed from non Ukes, advancing against dug in Russian positions en mass, did not work out so well.
Regarding comment #7,074, I wonder if someone will actually succeed in eliminating Alexander Dugin. How much did Dugin’s book published in 1997 result in the current mess with Russia and Ukraine. He gave explicit instructions on how to gradually take over Western Europe and eventually most of the world. In the earlier 1990s it actually looked like Russia might become a peaceful partner with the West. By the early 2000s, Putin had clearly changed his view of Russia’s future. Dugin has been called “Putin’s Brain”, and Putin directed that book be taught in all military colleges, and recommended teaching it in high schools. It is very clear now that Putin’s plan is to reSovietize Russia. It is also very clear that this is bad for business, and I wonder how much longer the oligarchs, who now seem better armored against “suicidal” deaths with their own mafia armies, will put up with Dugin and Putin? This winter should sorely test the patience and self-control of the Russian people.
TRUMP: "We go in, we blow up countries, and then we leave. We got nothing except dead people all over the place, on both sides. How stupid are we?"

“According to U.S. assessments, Russian casualties in the war so far number to as many as 615,000 — 115,000 Russians killed and 500,000 wounded. Ukrainian officials have zealously guarded their casualty figures, even from the Americans, but a U.S. official estimated that Ukraine had suffered a bit more than half of Russia’s casualties, or more than 57,500 killed and 250,000 wounded.”
An Iranian outlet affiliated with former Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Commander Major General Mohsen Rezaei claimed on October 8 that Russia provided Iran with an S-400 air defense system and a squadron of Su-35 fighter jets but provided no evidence for this claim. [20] ISW has not observed similar reports in prominent Western or Russian media, and ISW cannot independently verify this claim. ISW continues to assess that Russia could supply Iran with advanced military equipment in return for Iran's ongoing support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[21]

Are you kidding me? Russia to send new batch of air defense systems to Iran
Amid a series of attacks on important military facilities in our rear, the Ministry of Defense is preparing to send five more S-400 launchers to Iran. Let us recall that the first batch of air defense systems was sent to our partners a month ago amid the escalation of the situation in the Middle East. We have, to put it mildly, a number of questions at once. Of course, we trust the president. Perhaps, from a geopolitical point of view, it is very important now to support our Iranian brothers. They say that Israel is preparing some kind of crushing blow to Iran. That is why Tehran hastened to ask for help. And we immediately agreed. Very strange.
It turns out that our guys will now be dying under fire. Our arsenals and oil depots will suffer due to a lack of air defense systems, but the Iranians will be able to protect Tehran from Jewish attacks. Great... I would like to see clear communication from the Ministry of Defense on this matter.
The Toropets site is about 250 miles northwest of Moscow.
It has three related sites -- Toropets North, South and Oktyabrsky.
All were recently attacked, with the massive explosion of Toropets North registering as a small earthquake.
Ukrainian attacks on Russian ammunition and energy infrastructure have to hurt, along with massive military casualties, but as yet there's no visible sign of Russia teetering towards collapse.
Before and after at Oktyabrsky:
