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 Offensive Campaign Assessment, November 20, 2024
Russian Mobilization and Force Generation Efforts (Russian objective: Expand combat power without conducting general mobilization)
The Russian military command’s poor treatment of and failure to support Russian soldiers is likely contributing to mass desertions. Russian opposition outlet Vazhnye Istorii (iStories) reported that an internal Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) document detailed how over 1,000 Russian servicemembers, including officers, deserted the Russian 20th Motorized Rifle Division (MRD) (8th Combined Arms Army [CAA], Southern Military District [SMD]) as of April 20, 2024 – well over a battalion’s worth of personnel.[78] iStories reported that the command of the Russian 20th MRD appealed to the Russian MoD for assistance in returning deserters and interviewed personnel of the 20th MRD’s 33rd and 255th motorized rifle regiments, who attributed the desertion rates to high casualties, lack of promised payments to soldiers, and the practice of sending injured and sick soldiers on assaults. These complaints mirror frequent Russian ultranationalist milblogger complaints about the Russian MoD’s poor treatment of Russian military personnel, and the alleged internal document indicates that the MoD is likely aware of the scale of Russian morale problems.[79] Russian opposition outlet Mobilization News amplified footage on November 19 showing soldiers from the Russian 36th Motorized Rifle Brigade (29th CAA, Eastern Military District [EMD]) appealing directly to Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov complaining about how their commanders sent them on assaults without reconnaissance or artillery support.[80] The Russian soldiers claimed that they have to use their salaries to purchase their own equipment and fortification materials because the military command does not provide them.
High Russian casualties are reportedly prompting the Russian government to increase spending to identify dead personnel amid broader Kremlin concerns about Russia’s long-term economic stability.[81] Russian opposition outlet Verstka reported on November 19 that the Russian federal government has allocated over 180 million rubles (about $1.7 million) to Russian federal subjects for DNA tests to identify Russian soldiers’ bodies so far in 2024, the highest annual amount dedicated to such a type of spending since the start of the war.[82]
The Russian MoD seems to be struggling to completely incorporate former private military companies (PMCs) into the Russian military. Russian State Secretary - Deputy Defense Minister Anna Tsivileva announced on November 19 that the Russian MoD will issue veteran certificates to former PMC fighters based on notarized “eyewitness accounts” from several witnesses confirming that the fighter fought in the war in Ukraine and that the MoD should cover notarization expenses.[83] Tsivileva did not specify who the MoD considers a valid eyewitness. The increased burden on former PMC fighters, particularly former Wagner personnel who did not sign contracts with the Russian military, to prove that they are eligible for veteran status compared to regular Russian personnel will likely contribute to tensions between Wagner personnel, regular Russian personnel, and the MoD.

Trifecta
10 was my count of hits also - from the video
What did it hit? Was it only a Russian claim?
The Russian ruble is down over the last 15 year period.
It is also down over the last 10 year, 5 year, 1 year, 6 month, 3 month, 1 month, 1 week or 1 day timeframe.
I am seeing a pattern, of Putin destroying the ruble, among his many other victims.
In the videos that I have seen, there are no explosions.
My guess is that the missile was launched with inert warheads. No time to manufacture HE warheads to exact specifications.
The missile was not launched at Kyiv for fear that Patriots would shoot it down.
All in all, the launch was a testament to ruzzian stupidity.
It clearly caught the attention of the FRchickenlittles.
In Havanah, Cuba, a winter's lowest temperatures typically reach around 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 C).
So, a loss of electric power in Cuba will not be as life-threatening to Cubans as it will be to civilians this winter in Ukraine or Russia.
34 planes are out of service, with some put into reserve to save engine resources.
The issue lies in the problematic engines, which can't be repaired locally or imported due to sanctions.
