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.

B-2 Spirits Just Sent A Very Ominous Message To Iran
The B-2’s strike on Houthi weapons bunkers was about sending a dire message that only the stealth bomber could send.
https://www.twz.com/air/b-2-spirits-just-sent-a-very-ominous-message-to-iran-that-only-they-can
The Pentagon’s statement reads:
“Today, U.S. military forces, including U.S. Air Force B-2 bombers, conducted precision strikes against five hardened underground weapons storage locations in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. U.S. forces targeted several of the Houthis’ underground facilities housing various weapons components of types that the Houthis have used to target civilian and military vessels throughout the region. This was a unique demonstration of the United States’ ability to target facilities that our adversaries seek to keep out of reach, no matter how deeply buried underground, hardened, or fortified. The employment of U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit long-range stealth bombers demonstrate U.S. global strike capabilities to take action against these targets when necessary, anytime, anywhere.

Will the DPRK military replace our mobilized ones at the front?
Some channels write interesting things - supposedly Vladimir Putin wants to attract North Korean troops to the front so as not to announce a new serious wave of mobilization. We must speak out on this matter.
Firstly, about the possible participation of military personnel from the DPRK in the North Military District we will not say anything. Lately we have seen so many “interesting” and wild versions ... For now we will remain silent, we will tell you the information when it is really important to know it.
Secondly, about mobilization. This is what a source close to Valery Gerasimov told us ( who, let us remember, is actively seeking mobilization ): “Nonsense! We are going to mobilize several hundred thousand people. Are you sure that our partners from the DPRK will send so many fighters to us? That this is even theoretically possible?
“We are all waiting for Vladimir Vladimirovich’s decision on mobilization. In the meantime, I ask you: don’t listen to gossip!” he added. At the same time, an associate of the head of the General Staff admitted that “certain not very brave and not very decisive people” are trying to dissuade Putin and make sure that serious mobilization does not begin. And they use a variety of arguments for this. “I hope Vladimir Vladimirovich will hear the military,” our interlocutor noted.
The Kremlin did not tell us any news about mobilization. They only reminded that the President’s decision will be made this year. Most likely, in the fall - as previously reported.
“The Israeli military on Thursday said it was investigating whether Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in a recent operation.”
Maybe some of the RuZZian Boys who pretend to be Americans on FR are also involved in Moldova?
“Moscow Roils a Country on the Edge of Europe and Russia”
“Russia is behind a disinformation campaign in Moldova ahead of a presidential election and a referendum making E.U. membership a “strategic objective,” Moldovan officials and global media companies say.”
“Moldova’s police chief, appointed by a government committed to joining the European Union and leaving Russia’s orbit, was alarmed to find his country’s capital suddenly plastered with posters bearing a blunt message: “No EU.”
The posters — written in Russian and Romanian, Moldova’s main language — appeared overnight on bus stops across Chisinau last month, ostensibly part of an advertising campaign for a concert by a popular Russian-speaking singer from Ukraine.
The timing, however, set off alarm bells: the anti-E.U. message came just as Moldova, a former Soviet republic, was gearing up for a contentious referendum on whether to amend its constitution to enshrine the “irreversibility” of its “European course.””
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day
For a three Minute tour, a three Minute tour.
Bonus points for any RuZZian Boy who gets this reference.
Then again, the RuZZian Boy will need to admit he was a RuZZian Boy to get credit!

Back in the 80s, I was working in Phoenix.
One day, two friends and I went out to a Chinese all you can eat buffet for lunch.
We stayed there and ate, ate and ate. A long time.
After we left, I was driving back to work. One of my friends named Randy was so witty. He started singing the theme song with the words, “a 3 hour lunch, a 3 hour lunch”.
I never laughed so hard in my life. We were stuffed and just laughing and laughing. Them good ole days.
“HE’S DEAD”
Bigly Dead.
The good old days here was when a group of us fishing together came in to Port Angles,WA the guy with the most fish/biggest check/most cash for the night bought steak and eggs for everyone.
“Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in a recent operation.”
Apparently, Sinwar and two others were engaged somewhere in Radar, and they fled into nearby buildings. IDF released drone video of a wounded Sinwar (missing his right hand) sitting in a chair in a bombed out building, throwing a stick at the drone. IDF later put a tank round into that spot, and found Sinwar’s body there the next morning.
So he did not have a quick death.
That’s too bad.
