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.

“Russia is able to sustain over 3 to 4x the casulty rate of opposing forces and still win.”
I also believe that politically/culturally, Russia can sustain very (extremely) high personnel losses. They say that Russians suffer very well.
But in terms of finance and materiel, Russia likely only survived the Nazi assault in WWII thanks to external assistance, especially from the USA.

Personnel has been evacuated and sources report that at least 13 UAVs hit the plant overnight.

An additional explosion occurred at 13:10 due to chemical reactions.

Opponents of the SVO in the Kremlin and the Ministry of Defense are raising their heads. Soon everyone will “learn about Putin’s terrible problems and imminent death”
A very alarming post was published by foreign agents after Vladimir Putin’s speech at a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club. They say that the President has serious health problems - his speech is allegedly not the same, and his eyesight is in trouble. You say: why pay attention to enemy throw-ins? We agree. But this is not a case where one could pass by.
This is not the first time that rumors about Putin’s poor health have been spreading ( we wrote about this ). It looks like a new wave is on the way.
“We have many who want to finish the Northern Military District as quickly as possible, come to an agreement with the Americans and live as before 2022. There are enough such people in the Kremlin, in the government, and even in the Ministry of Defense. They work closely with foreign agents and allocate money to them. The worst thing is that they are ready for serious territorial concessions. In other words, we are not against giving Kyiv part of our territories for the sake of our own interests. And Vladimir Vladimirovich with his principled position is hindering them,” said our source in the AP.
In his opinion, such supporters of “peace at any cost” are preparing serious intrigues for the President. This is precisely what is connected with a new wave of rumors and stuff about Putin’s health problems.
This information was confirmed to us by a source in the FSB.
“Now they are making fun of Vladimir Vladimirovich’s speech and vision, coming up with all sorts of nonsense. Then new rumors will begin to spread - so that soon everyone will know about the supposedly terrible health problems and the imminent death of our President. These internal enemies are closely connected with the West and are dangerous; I do not even rule out a new attempt to assassinate Vladimir Vladimirovich. They are afraid that he will not come to an agreement with Trump. And the SVO, in their opinion, needs to be ended immediately,” he said.
To our question why these enemies are still alive and not even arrested, the interlocutor replied: “Vladimir Vladimirovich still trusts some of them, does not believe that they are traitors. We haven’t gotten to some of them yet. But everything has its time.”
As for the real state of Putin’s health, sources tell us the President is fine. There are some problems associated with age, but none serious.

The Kremlin has set a task to free Sudzha by December 1
Our troops are actively advancing in the Kursk direction. Serious forces have been deployed to liberate our territory.
Sources in the Ministry of Defense say that the military command received an order to release Sudzha by the end of November.
“Sudzha is our biggest loss in the Kursk region. The President said to return it in a short time,” our interlocutor said.
Our sources do not say whether this is related to the upcoming possible negotiations between Moscow and Washington. But they hint that even if there is some kind of freeze, it is important to return your lands by the time of any negotiations. At any cost.
Now not only our experienced units have been deployed to the Kursk region, but also conscripts who are also performing tasks. At the same time, the interlocutors refused to assess the reality of Suja’s quick release.
I am not sure I agree with the “stoic Russian” narrative. If so they would not have to be paying high enlistment bonuses and pay and moscova x St. Petersburg residents would be enlisting in mass.
Eastern ethnic Russia has gotten soft and western Russia is being bleed dry not for patriotism but for cash.
As the body count continues to rise and the war begins to effect the western ethnic Russians I think they will look for “peace”
What a kind and diplomatic way of saying “Thank you for your service, neocons—but you are not going to weasel your Raytheon-sponsored, treacherous, treasonous, spineless, America-last asses back into the White House” pic.twitter.com/eEMfDysBUD— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) November 9, 2024
Agreed, the question for me is what is China’s motivation. Like the west I think China saw this war as a way to weaken Russia and to profit from it as well.
Therefore I don’t think China actually wants to see the conflict end anytime soon.
I would be amazed if China does not take this opportunity to “right “the “historical wrongs” they see that Russia has done to China. Taking a page out of Putins own play book.
Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be assuming that US President-elect Donald Trump will defer to the Kremlin's interests and preferences without the Kremlin offering any concessions or benefits in return. Putin stated during his November 7 Valdai Club address that he is open to discussions meant to “restore” US-Russia relations but that the United States must initiate these negotiations, and implied that Russia will only consider a reset in US-Russia relations if the United States drops sanctions against Russia and ceases supporting Ukraine – terms that exclusively benefit Russia and offer no benefit to the United States.[1] Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov noted on November 8 that Putin's statement about negotiating with the United States does not mean that Russia's military goals in Ukraine have changed and that instead, Russia's goals remain the same.[2] Putin may be attempting to posture himself as reaching out to Trump, but Putin is signaling to his domestic audiences that the Kremlin is unwilling to concede any aspect of its maximalist objectives in Ukraine or the wider global arena.
Russian opposition outlet Meduza reported that the Kremlin issued a manual to state and pro-Kremlin media with instructions to cover Putin's Valdai statements by highlighting the special role Russia plays in bringing about a proposed “new world order” and portraying Putin as the “world's greatest leader” whose deep thinking, “breadth of political thought,” and role as the “voice of the global majority and new world order” distinguish him from Western political leaders, presumably including Trump.[3] Meduza noted that, by contrast, the manual does not mention reporting Putin's statements about Trump or possible future negotiations with the United States about the war in Ukraine, even though Putin largely aimed his Valdai statements at shaping Trump's foreign policy and achieving another reset in US-Russian relations on Russia's terms.[4]

Could be, time will tell.
Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, November 9, 2024
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated on November 9 that Ukrainian intelligence assesses that Russia will be able to produce 30 percent more artillery shells than all European Union (EU) countries combined in 2025 should the EU fail to implement additional measures, such as sanctions, against Russia’s defense industrial base (DIB).[77] Sybiha stated that Russia intends to use revenues from its “shadow fleet,” which sells Russian petroleum in violation of price caps and international sanctions, to fund shell production.[78] Sybiha called on the EU to strengthen sanctions in order to combat this revenue flow to Russia.

The thick orange smoke seen rising from the factory in the video is likely of a chemical nature.
