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.

Russian military doctor Yuriy Yevich (a butcher, "famous" for torturing prisoners of war - a sort of Russian Dr. Mengele) whines that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have a complete superiority in drones in Kursk: "They have these drones like dirt.
They easily spend up to 5 UAVs per infantryman and 15-20 per piece of equipment."

Sounds about right.
President Zelensky has instructed Ukraine's defence industry to produce at least 3,000 cruise missiles and drone missiles, as well as 30,000 long-range drones throughout 2025.

Another ammunition arsenal was bombed by American missiles. How should the Kremlin respond?
Last night, the 67th arsenal of the GRAU in the Bryansk region was attacked. Sources say it was a combined attack using drones and ballistic missiles. Let us note right away that we have repeatedly, both privately and through the channel, appealed to the Ministry of Defense with a request to stop lying and manipulating information. “Fragments of a damaged ATACMS missile fell on the technical territory of a military facility in the Bryansk region, causing a fire,” the Russian Defense Ministry reported. Let's be objective - the missile hit the warehouse, which caused further detonation. Why lie and invent versions about “fragments,” “splinters,” and so on? We don't consider ordinary Russians morons, do we? There is a war in the country, everyone understands everything.
The second point is that American ATACMS missiles were used to strike the Bryansk region. Washington recently gave permission for their use on Russian territory. A logical question arises: what will be our reaction? Given the use of a wide range of weapons, the only new option left is a nuclear strike, but China is strictly against it.
“Considering the scale of military-technical cooperation with Beijing, we are forced to take their position into account,” a source in the Foreign Ministry said. Other sources admit that there are not many adherents of the use of nuclear weapons in Moscow. Many fear retaliatory strikes on Moscow and other cities in our country. “There are no fools here,” a high-ranking source told us.
The Defense Ministry made it clear that the United States and a number of European countries had prepared for such a decision in advance. In particular, aviation was withdrawn. It was ordered not to form large warehouses with missiles and other ammunition in the potential destruction zone. The Kremlin is reluctant to comment on the strike. A source close to Vladimir Putin said that “the best solution would be to wait two months (until Donald Trump comes to power - Ed.).” That is, the Presidential Administration is essentially proposing not to react at all to the escalation from Kiev's Western partners. The position is, let's say, strange. But it is understandable. There is no information yet on how the president reacted to the night attack.

Hush, fisherman
“Won’t vote for Cruz because he doesn’t support Ukraine.”
I don’t know anybody who does.
Glad China seems to discourage nuclear war. Probably don’t want fallout drifting over their land. At any rate, sneaky moves like using Chinese flagged commercial ships to cut Baltic Sea cables is more subtle. Is this a test run for Atlantic or Pacific cables?

Almost all available resources in the Russian economy have already been used, said Elvira Nabiullina, head of the Central Bank, speaking in the State Duma on Tuesday. According to her, this is the first time the country has found itself in such a situation: the unemployment rate has dropped to a historical minimum of 2.4%, and the shortage of personnel continues to grow. “We have never had such low unemployment. And there are few countries where it has ever dropped so much,” TASS quotes Nabiullina as saying. According to Central Bank surveys, 73% of enterprises are experiencing a shortage of personnel, and the level of capacity utilization at plants, according to Rosstat, has exceeded 80%, which is also a historical record.
“When the economy reaches the limits of its production capabilities, but demand continues to be stimulated,” stagflation occurs, Nabiullina said. To avoid this risk, the Central Bank is raising the key rate, she explained: “In other countries that have experienced stagflation, this is the result of an unreasonably soft monetary policy when it needs to be tightened” (quotes from Reuters and TASS).
According to Rosstat, the Russian economy continues to grow, although the pace is slowing as loans become more expensive, raw materials industries lose Western markets, and defense industry plants reach capacity limits. In the third quarter, according to official estimates, Russia's GDP increased by 3.1% after growing by 4.1% in the second quarter and by 5.4% in the first.

The end is near ;-)
Stanislav Sukhanov, General Director of the Sverdlovsk Capital Repair Fund, suggested that Ural women should be more active in giving birth to children who could become electricians, welders, roofers, plasterers, and painters in the future. This statement was made on the air of the Stand program during a discussion of the shortage of personnel in the fund.
“We need to give birth to welders, roofers, plasterers, and painters. In general, we need a workforce that will perform the types of work that constitute capital repairs,” E1 quotes Sukhanov as saying. At the same time, the General Director admitted that “we will see the result only in 18 years” — when the children become adults and choose a specialty. He also emphasized that previously the problem of personnel shortage was covered by migrants, who made up to 80% of employees in the sector. But now their flow has decreased, which has significantly affected the volume and quality of work performed.

State Duma deputy says war started because women had abortions
The war in Ukraine started because of women's right to abortions and their desire to live for themselves, said State Duma deputy from Kurgan Oblast Alexander Iltyakov (United Russia) in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda radio.
“I'll put it bluntly: it's entirely possible that the war is happening because of exactly these kinds of events — when pregnancies are artificially terminated. Who suddenly decided that you should be allowed to have abortions? The Lord said: be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth. No, we say: live for yourself. You'll live, and you'll live in a coffin,” he said.
