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.

Penny for your ruble comrade.
The penny ruble has arrived (100 to the dollar).
That is not the end of Russia’s fall, but just a metric of its descent into poverty.
Ruble deathwatch continues.
Russian Mobilization and Force Generation Efforts (Russian objective: Expand combat power without conducting general mobilization)
Russian opposition outlet Mediazona reported that the Russian Central Bank has recently issued significantly more loan deferments (credit holidays) for Russian military personnel, indicating that Russian military recruitment rates may have increased.[84] Mediazona reported, citing Central Bank data, that the bank issued nearly 54,200 new credit holidays for Russian contract and mobilized personnel in July-September 2024 after having issued fewer than 30,000 credit holidays to military personnel in July-September 2023.[85] Russian authorities passed a law in early 2023 allowing banks to offer deferments on loan payments to Russian military personnel fighting in Ukraine, likely as a financial incentive to encourage military service.[86] The significant increase in credit holidays issued to Russian military personnel comes amid indications that the Kremlin is concerned about Russia's long-term economic stability and efforts to cut the short- and long-term costs of the war by reducing certain benefits to Russian soldiers who fought in Ukraine.[87]
The Russian milblogger Telegram channel Thirteenth, which has been heavily critical of the Russian MoD’s and Kremlin's conduct of the war in Ukraine, claimed on November 15 that a Russian court approved its main administrator Yegor Guzenko to fight in Ukraine in lieu of jailtime.[88] Russian authorities reportedly arrested Guzenko on October 5 in Stavropol Krai either for violating a prior house arrest or due to an altercation with Russian police, and the charges against Guzenko remain unclear.[89] Russian outlet Baza reported on October 10, citing its own sources, that Guzenko refused to sign a military service contract when authorities detained him because he “was more needed on the information front” but that Guzenko may change his mind.[90] The Thirteenth Telegram channel has continued to heavily criticize Russian authorities since Guzenko’s arrest, particularly Stavropol Krai authorities, and stated on November 15 that the channel will publish a series of interviews with Guzenko to “smash those dogs who lied and slandered” Guzenko while Guzenko was in prison.[91]
A Russian insider source claimed on November 15 that Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov approved a training course on “Geostrategy of Modern Society” for senior Russian military officers under the guidance of Russian state television host and propagandist Vladimir Solovyov.[92] ISW is unable to confirm this claim.

F-16s should be shooting down more than 10...many more.
Any calls to liberate Kursk Oblast as soon as possible and tasks to drive out the occupiers from there by a specific date are very harmful to the army. It would be good if society stopped any public discussions on this topic.
Several officers who are fighting in Kursk Oblast expressed this opinion in conversations with us. “I'll give you an example. We were recently given the task of liberating Sudzha by the end of November. They started to drive the guys into the attack more actively. The result is terrible. The Ukrainians were pushed back, but the losses are huge. Hundreds of dead and wounded. We must win. But how is Victory possible with such an attitude towards people? Please publish these words, although you will probably be afraid,” one of the interlocutors was indignant. As you can see, they were not afraid, they were not noticed in such a thing.
At the same time, we clarified that the task of liberating Sudzha by the end of autumn was set personally by Vladimir Putin. “I do not believe that Vladimir Vladimirovich decided to sacrifice such a huge number of people. I think the generals, the bastards, filled his head, deceived him, told him all sorts of things. That the Ukrainian army would soon cease to exist, that we could easily destroy it in the Kursk region. He believed them and set the task. I would simply shoot such generals,” the officer replied.
By the way, our sources in the Ministry of Defense claim that many in the ministry want Andrei Belousov to ask the president not to set tasks for the liberation of this or that territory with reference to dates. But Andrei Removich, let's be honest, is simply afraid of the president's wrath. And he does not make such a request to him.
This indecisiveness of the Minister of Defense is causing serious discontent among the military.
This decision comes in response to Moscow's deployment of North Korean troops.
Initial targets are expected to include Russian and North Korean forces in the Kursk region.

With two months left in office, the president for the first time authorized the Ukrainian military to use the system known as ATACMS to help defend its forces in the Kursk region of Russia.
Allowing the Ukrainians to use the long-range missiles, known as the Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, came in response to Russia's surprise decision to bring North Korean troops into the fight, officials said.
