Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine (2 year anniversary)

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.

"Donald Trump doesn’t know how to stop the war in Ukraine & JD Vance is dangerous and too radical” - V. Zelensky, Sep.2024"

There's a lot more to that story, including this:

"The Washington Post also asked Trump for clarification on comments he had made in July 2023, in which he claimed that he would give Ukraine "more than they ever got" if Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected Trump's peace deal.

'I did say that, so I can say it to you.
But I did say that and nobody picked it up.
They don't because it makes so much sense,' Trump responded, apparently without elaborating further.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that he would end the war within 24 hours if elected but has declined to specify exactly how he plans to do so.

After his recent meeting with Zelensky, Trump said that he had 'learned a lot' as the war continues but noted that his views on ending it 'as soon as possible' have not changed."

I remember it and did pick it up at the time.
I also remember that Speaker Johnson said in October 2023 that he supported US aid to Ukraine.

It’s over.

Covert Cabal on YouTube has published a recent count of Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) remaining in Russian storage yards, as determined from satellite imagery.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4Gd2hCp0EY

Only 23% of the chassis remain, but so many of their rocket pods have been stripped (hanger queens, being cannibalized for spare parts) that he is estimating that the stored inventory is now about effectively depleted. So without foreign supply, Russia’s fieldable fleet of MLRS is entering its terminal phase of demilitarization and denazification, where combat losses can no longer be significantly replenished, and their operational combat power declines.

This is one of Russia’s iconic combat capabilities, since the time of Stalin. Katyusha, Grad, Uragan and Smerch systems (as well as the TOS-1A Thermobaric MLRS) have all been effectively depleted from stored inventory by Putin. The next guy will just have to do without.

The end of the line for one Russian system after another will be cascading over the coming months, if current loss rates continue, or worsen. As fieldable Russian firepower declines, the probability of Russian loss rates increasing, itself increases.

Because of Putin, the Doom of Russia.

“What effed-16 doink?”

“(Russian) Fighterbomber
Earth sky, brothers...

Su-34 was shot down. The crew died. The plane was shot down during the Dumping of the FAB from the UMPC, about 50 km from the front line. Our Su-34 was shot down by an apparently F-16, which was above the territory controlled by the enemy (Ukrainian forces).

Soon there will be more such losses. NATO launched the F-16 for hunting.

Now there will be fewer FABs on (Ukrainian forces). Consequently, the losses of our (Russian) infantry will increase.”

Seems that Russia is unable to strike the F-16s in their Ukrainian bases, the number of F-16s and pilots is increasing, and that a new, but very predictable phase or the air war has begun.

Many more F-16s on the way to Ukraine, as well as the recently announced new package of Mirage jets from France. They will be a powerful addition to NATO.

Curious, the idea of moving Russian assets further from the front may help protect them from direct fire on their bases, but I would assume to drop FABs they still need to get close to the front and so still would be in range of AIMs?

Additionally you are talking more fuel, and more hours on airframes

"Joe Blogs: RUSSIAN Ruble Crashing"

There are a lot of similar reports about how bad-off is Russia's economy, and some of the data is doubtless true.
However, "crashing" or "collapse" still seem like gross exaggerations, based on what we can see so far.

For one thing, Russia can maintain the value of its ruble by selling gold from its reserves to buy rubles.

1. $200 billion estimated value of Russia's gold reserves = ~2,500 tons of gold

2. $30 billion value of Russia's annual gold production

3. $30 billion, estimated cost of Russian gold sales to support the value of its ruble.

For comparisons, the US gold reserves are valued at circa $650 billion, with annual US gold production around $15 billion.
Total world annual gold production is over $300 billion and the total global gold reserves are nearing $5 trillion, all this with prices continuing to rise.

My point is, Russians can sell a lot of gold to help maintain the ruble's value without affecting their own reserves or global gold markets.

So, at some point, no doubt, Russia's economy will reach its "crunch" time, but so far at least, I don't see it.

Your propaganda is so transparent you look like a silly liberal boy.

Your claims of Russian losses amount to number greater than they even even have had.

“Your claims of Russian losses”

They aren’t my “claims”

Dipstick.

“Starship

That was amazing.

It looked like the angle wasn’t going to work.

Amazing

The US proxy war against Russia is over. Ukraine and NATO have lost. Zelenskyy is on the way out. I told you from the beginning. Remember all the propaganda victims on X who had Ukraine flags in their bio? Never trust the legacy media when it comes to war. https://t.co/9moj3Poc9L— Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) October 12, 2024

"Back in 2002 Putin had no problem with Ukraine joining NATO‼️

'Ukraine is a sovereign state and has the right to choose the path to ensure its own security.
I don’t see anything unusual here in principle.
Or something that would spoil the relations between…
Or could possibly spoil relations between Russia and Ukraine.'
- Vladimir Putin at NATO Summit Meeting in Rome, Italy (May 28, 2002)"

Wow! That is a great find! It makes a point I've been trying to make for years, though without such a telling quote.

Thanks!

HOLY SMOKES.

FIVE million dollars in cash has been found at the home of a member of Zelensky's party.

Thank you, Biden and Kamala, but we need more.

Thanks for the link - I had forgotten the launch - just woke up. Amazing recovery.

Looks like something went a bit haywire with the small fire burning at the booster base.

"Ukraines' massive losses in the failed Kursk attack are revealed.
In total, during the incursion, Ukrainian troops lost more than 22,300 men and 150 tanks and several hundred other vehicles of NATO origin.

Chay Bowes is a paid Russian propagandist, meaning that every word from him is a lie intended to deceive and confuse Russia's enemies.

"Mr Bowes is now a correspondent for RT, the Russian state media outlet."

Sorry, guys, but I couldn't let this one go.

Russia now has about $40 billion in liquid reserves available and they will run out within a year as their annual cost is about the same. Officially the inflation is about 9 %, but the national bank interest rate is 19 %. More details in this interview:
