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.

What came out of BRICS?
Nothing.
No support for Putin’s invasion. The official statement actually said that all countries should abide by the the UN Charter (which Russia violated by invading Ukraine).
No replacement of the US Dollar. No stampede to accept Russian rubles as actual money.
Just some photo ops, for propaganda purposes. I wonder how much money Russia wasted on those?
Russian trolls see no problem.
“Russian soldiers have been heard raising concerns about how North Korean soldiers will be commanded and provided with ammunition and military kit, leaked intercepts obtained by the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine and released on Friday show.
The Russian soldiers talk disdainfully about the incoming North Korean soldiers, codenamed the “K Battalion,” at one point referring to them as “the ******* Chinese.”
In the same extract, a serviceman describes another who has been tasked to “meet people.””
“The intercepts also reveal plans to have one interpreter and three senior officers for every 30 North Korean men, which the Russian soldiers are heard in the audio condemning.”
Ouch
“A vehicle carrying Russian soldiers exploded on an anti-tank mine that had been mined in advance by the Ukrainian Defence Forces”

(Oops, I posted this to the wrong thread earlier, about Russia raising it’s interest rate again.)
Reuters reports on Russian Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina remarks today (25 Oct):
“we allow for the possibility of an additional rate increase in December.”
“we do not include the risk of recession in our forecast for the economy as a whole.”
(On the currency) “the carry-over effect - a 10% change in the exchange rate is about 0.5 times the carry-over into inflation.” (10% drop in the ruble boosts inflation 5%)
More on the election.
Popular Vote Prediction:
Willie Brown’s mistress wins by 1%.
Senate Prediction:
R +3. Pickups in WV, MT, OH
Close in WI, MI, PA, NV but probably Rs fall short.
House Prediction:
Who knows? But R or D majority will be so small that majority will have to rely on minority votes to pass legislation. Same as current Congress.
Texas Prediction:
Trump wins by 6.
Cruz wins by 2 but will quit after this term.
Stunning numbers out of Nevada continue. 6/14 days of early voting completed
“GOP has a 24K ballot lead statewide, or 5 percent”
Looks like Bezos doesn’t want to get on Trumps bad side.
“Washingtonpost Post newsroom reports that a Harris endorsement had been drafted by editorial page staffers but that owner @JeffBezos made decision not to publish. “
Dead Norks in Kursk today. It’s on.
It’ll be dead news after the election. Trump wins and he’ll force Zelenskyy to go to the tables and if Que-Mala wins what does she care? No ‘joy’ in a foreign war for her. All she needs to do is keep harping about abortion for 4 years.
Xi will force Putin to the table. China will getting the fat Ukrainian rebuilding contracts, not Russia.
China gets big, fat contracts to rebuild? With whose money? The US? I don’t think US MIC would allow that. More than likely they’d force whomever’s administration (and Congress) that American money be spent with American contracts, certainly not China.
But then again, there’s China connected McTurtles in Congress, so who actually knows now?
India and Turkey, too.
Watching Xi throw Putin under the bus after President Trump takes office will be a classic for the ages.
China gets big, fat contracts to rebuild? With whose money?
—
There is a multi-billion dollar European fund set aside for the rebuilding, mostly the money is from frozen Russian assets.
We are not talking billions here.
“Over 100 planes were involved in the attack on Iran on Saturday, including the cutting-edge F-35.”
“Strikes on Iran expected to last ‘several more hours,’ source says”
