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.

“Total blackout in Cuba continues.
Hours after one of the country’s main power plants stopped functioning, the nation remains in darkness except for some hotels and buildings powered by private generators.
In some residential areas, the sound of banging pots can be heard as residents express their frustration.
In response, the government has closed schools, non-essential industries, and sent most state workers home in an effort to “conserve energy.””

“Russian authorities have asked Kazakhstan and other “friendly” countries to help provide passenger transport within Russia, Russian minister of transport announced. Previously, only local airlines could provide this service.
Before the start of the “special military operation,” Russian airlines had a fleet of 850 aircraft, and by the beginning of 2023, this number had dropped to 736, The Moscow Times writes, citing the consulting firm Oliver Wyman. By 2026, the aircraft fleet may be halved.”
