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.

No doubt they were inert, but still guided. They were likely test warheads that include guidance and telemetry, used to evaluate performance during live fire testing. The guidance of these MIRVS is thought to be 90 meters or more, insufficient for a conventional warhead. The cost to produce and deliver conventional precision MIRVs would be very high.
6 ICBM/IRBMs with inert MIRV warheads is a very expensive attack that caused little damage. But damage wasn't the intent, rather it was a message. Putin built these missiles to strike Europe, so this "message" was as much for them as for Ukraine. This was nuclear saber rattling at an unprecedented level.
Give Ukraine back its nukes - at least a few hundred.
Budapest Memorandum was breached by Russia.

Keep those commies guessing.
Perhaps tonight.

“Large explosions being reported in Krasnodar, Russia.”
Just another day at the office, in Putin’s Russia - large explosions in Russia.
Get used to it, it’s the new normal.
Putin wanted war. Putin started the war. Putin got war. That is how it works. Putin could simply stop waging war, but he insists on it.
Now Russians must suffer war, because they suffer Putin, the bringer of Russia’s doom - the destroyer of Russian’s dreams, their freedom, their lives, their wealth and their hopes for the future.
2/3rds of the ruble’s exchange value gone in only two years.
What has Putin wrought?
An impending economic collapse, to rival the collapse of the Soviet Union.
It seems that there is no pulling the ruble back any longer. It is trading for less than a penny, and continuing to drop. The Russian Central Bank Chief reported to the Duma this week, that they are out of resources.
The cascade of compounding problems is beginning in earnest, and a currency crisis can trigger several others, like hyperinflation, bankruptcies, and debt defaults.
WAR: Ukraine is firing US-made ballistic missiles guided by US ‘advisors’ at targets inside Russia. This video is reportedly from Krasnodar, Russia. pic.twitter.com/CdyyMWQriI— @amuse (@amuse) November 22, 2024
It is reported that the United States has spent $183,000,000,000.00 of taxpayer funds on Ukraine since the war began in 2022.
But they didn’t have money for:
-Hurricane victims
-The southern border
-Reducing your every day costs
I will never forget this and neither should you.— Steve 🇺🇸 (@SteveLovesAmmo) November 18, 2024
“WAR: Ukraine is firing US-made ballistic missiles guided by US ‘advisors’ at targets inside Russia.”
Russia could not take on Poland at this point, much less the USA. Nuclear weapons use is suicide, pure and simple.
It’s over. Putin wasted every resource, and every bit of leverage that Russia used to have. No one wanted to live in his Orc world after all.
“Consequences...”
Hard to think of anyone living, who deserves them more than that butthole.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, November 21, 2024
Neither the Oreshnik ballistic missile strike nor Putin’s November 21 statement represent a significant inflection in Russian strike capabilities or likeliness to use a nuclear weapon. Russian forces fire nuclear-capable Iskander ballistic missiles, Kinzhal hypersonic ballistic missiles, and nuclear-capable Kh-101 cruise missiles against Ukraine on a regular basis. Previous Russian missile strikes have targeted industrial and critical infrastructure including within Dnipro City that caused greater damage.[9] The only fundamentally new characteristic of the Russian strikes against Dnipro City on November 21 was the Oreshnik missile itself, which ostentatiously showcased reentry vehicles to amplify the spectacle of the strike and further imply a nuclear threat.[10][11] The West maintains credible deterrence options and Putin’s nuclear saber-rattling should not constrain Western officials from choosing to further aid Ukraine. US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Bill Burns cautioned Western policymakers against fearing Putin’s nuclear rhetoric in September 2024, describing Putin as a “bully” who will “continue to saber rattle from time to time.”[12]

I am hereby calling on Putin and Zelensky to meet with me and get this terrible war between Russia and Ukraine solved. We have never been closer to a nuclear WWIII than we are right now. We must stop the killing and prevent World War III. pic.twitter.com/wvIMpEGacG— Donald J. Trump - Parody (@realDonParody) November 18, 2024
The media told you repeatedly that Russia ran out of missiles, that its soldiers are demoralized, that they’re using rusty Soviet-era equipment. They’ll tell you that all it takes is a few extra billion dollars to Ukraine to finish the fight. Couldn’t be farther from the truth.— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) November 22, 2024
