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 24, 2024
Russia reportedly recruited hundreds of Yemeni nationals to fight in the Russian military amid growing cooperation between Russia, Iran, and Iran-backed Houthi movement. NOTE: A version of this text appears in the September 24 ISW-CTP Iran Update. Financial Times (FT) reported on November 24 that Houthi-affiliated intermediaries recruited “hundreds” of Yemeni men beginning as early as July 2024 to travel to Russia after promising them lucrative jobs in the “security” and “engineering” fields and eventual Russian citizenship.[28] Russian authorities reportedly instead forcibly conscripted the largely inexperienced recruits into the Russian army and sent them to fight in the war upon their arrival in Russia. FT also highlighted growing ties between the Kremlin and the Houthis, citing US Special Envoy for Yemen Tim Lenderking, who confirmed that Russia is actively engaging with the Houthis and discussing weapons transfers. ISW has assessed that the Kremlin has in part sought to offset heavy battlefield losses and personnel shortages by enlisting migrants and foreign nationals while avoiding another partial involuntary reserve callup in Russia.[29] ISW also observed growing engagement between Kremlin officials and Houthis amid enhanced Russia-Iran cooperation and Iranian support for the Russian war effort in Ukraine.[30]

Just think, all Russia's partner nations are relying on these systems for protection and NATO missiles from 1990's easily turn them to cinders.
https://x.com/JayinKyiv/status/1861046718717985009
Most likely M39 missiles with inertial guidance. (No GPS, so not jammable).
Each missile carries 950 M74 anti-personnel and anti‑materiel bomblets, each about the size of a baseball.
The bomblets are dispersed across a circular area approximately 677 feet in diameter, and effective against parked aircraft, ammunition dumps, air defense systems, and gatherings of personnel.

The incident occurred on the evening of November 24. The engine of the Azimuth airline plane caught fire during landing at Antalya airport. The Turkish Ministry of Transport stated that 89 passengers and six crew members were evacuated from the plane. Rosaviatsia specified that there were no fatalities or injuries as a result of the incident.
Azimuth stated that the SSJ-100’s “rough landing” was the result of a “wind shear.” The Aviatorshchina Telegram channel writes that during the plane's landing, wind gusts in the Antalya airport area reached 14.4 m/s. The cause of the emergency was a crew error, Aviatorshchina claims.
According to Mash, the plane experienced a “hard impact” during landing, after which fuel spilled onto the runway and the plane caught fire. Passengers were evacuated via inflatable slides.
The Russian Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on the fact of the aircraft fire under the article on violation of traffic safety rules and operation of air transport (Part 1 of Article 263 of the Criminal Code). The department emphasized that the damage caused amounted to at least one million rubles.
The passengers on board also filed a class action lawsuit against Azimuth. The signatories specified that they had inhaled carbon monoxide and asked the airline for “proper support.”
The Agency drew attention to the fact that the SSJ-100 aircraft with tail number RA-89085 was put into operation in February 2017, and since March 2021, there have been at least 15 incidents with the aircraft. Three of them occurred in the last three months - on September 7, the aircraft was returned from the runway to the parking lot for technical reasons. On September 28, the aircraft stopped taking off due to increased engine vibration, and on October 16, the aircraft damaged the landing gear doors during an emergency landing due to a hydraulic system failure.
The damage from the emergency involving the Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ-100) aircraft of the Azimuth airline at the Antalya airport could amount to between 2 and 3 billion rubles. This was reported on November 25 by TASS, citing a representative of the insurance services market.
“As for the incident in Antalya, this is a complete loss of the plane,” the agency's source said, adding that the damage could amount to 2–3 billion rubles “taking into account the age of the aircraft.”
According to TASS, the airline's liability and its fleet of aircraft are insured by AlfaStrakhovanie JSC. The extent of the damage to the aircraft, the circumstances and the amount of damage are still being determined, but it has already become known that in connection with the incident, a decision has been made to pay passengers 100 thousand rubles each [$1,000].

In Kaluga, drones hit an oil refinery. It’s time to stop lying
Last night, an oil refinery in Kaluga was attacked by enemy drones . According to the governor, a fire broke out on the territory of the industrial enterprise as a result of falling UAV debris.
The first thing that catches your eye is how treacherous the debris is. They burn and explode all the time. We think it’s time to stop lying to our own population. There is not enough air defense, they did not have time to intercept a drone or a missile - it happens.
But why lie??? If you remember, when enemy troops entered the Kursk region, by the evening they wrote to the Ministry of Defense that all the militants and Nazis had been pushed across the state border. According to our data, no one was held accountable for this lie.
The second point that is worth paying attention to is that there are not enough air defense systems to protect critical infrastructure. Something needs to be done about this.
Stop supplying air defense to Iran, especially since they are dissatisfied with the results of our systems. Saturate the front and critical infrastructure as much as possible. In particular, energy and oil refining. We have already lost so much over the spring-summer.
The military says that another facility was attacked in Kaluga, but we will not disclose the details.
While certain people on FR are gloating about Ukraine losing power over the winter ... 2 can play that game.

“This is also war.” Blackouts of electricity, water and heating may affect 20 million Russians this winter
This forecast was given by government sources.
We asked for comment on utility accidents that occur in different regions of Russia. One of the interlocutors replied: “Unfortunately, there will be accidents. The public utilities are outdated, and in some places catastrophic.
“There is neither money nor time for a complete renovation. I think power outages and problems with heat and water may affect at least 20 million people this winter. It’s sad, but people need to know the truth.”
According to another source, this is a “fairly balanced forecast.” If the enemy seriously takes revenge for our attacks on Ukrainian energy and destroys the infrastructure of Russian cities, the situation could be much worse.
To our question about what to do so that people no longer freeze to death in their homes, as happened last winter, the government answered:
“Get ready. Buy blankets where possible, install potbelly stoves, stock up on water and food. Buy generators before their prices skyrocket. The most important thing is to understand that the situation is not easy. And get ready. The fact that there is not enough money and time for repairs is also a war.”
We must join these calls. It is clear that now, when Russia is waging the most important war in modern history, financing the Northern Military District and our military is much more important than all other items of expenditure.
Therefore, we ask everyone to gather together and (in case of problems) be patient. Even in a cold apartment it is much easier than for our military at the front, let’s not forget about this!
25 Nov: GOODBYE TO THE OLD CHANNEL. It’s Time for a New Chapter.
Reporting from Ukraine

The Kremlin signaled that it would remove the Taliban from its list of prohibited organizations amid intensified Russia-Taliban rapprochement. Afghan and Russian news outlets reported on November 25 that Russian Security Council Secretary General Sergei Shoigu stated that the Kremlin will soon remove the Taliban from its list of “terrorist organizations” during a meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and a Taliban delegation.[33] ISW previously observed that the Kremlin has maintained direct contact with the Taliban since the Taliban took power in Afghanistan in 2021, although more explicit Russian recognition of the Taliban as the legitimate Afghan government will likely enhance Russia-Taliban cooperation.[34] Russia has recently intensified outreach to the Taliban, in large part to leverage the Taliban's control of the Afghan government to degrade the Taliban's regional adversary, the Afghanistan-based Islamic State-Khorasan Province (ISKP).[35]
Russian Mobilization and Force Generation Efforts (Russian objective: Expand combat power without conducting general mobilization)
Russian authorities continue to incentivize service in Ukraine through one-time payment offers in a likely effort to avoid conducting another partial involuntary reserve callup in Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree extending one-time payments amounting to 400,00 rubles (about $3,846) to Rosgvardia personnel if they sign service contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) to serve in Ukraine.[80]
A Russian milblogger claimed on November 25 that Russian command posts are relying on Chinese-made radios for internal communications, as Russia cannot domestically produce enough quality radios for the Russian military.[81] The milblogger claimed that Russian forces heavily relied on cellular and internet communications at the onset of the war in Ukraine and failed to develop a unified and secure communication system. The milblogger highlighted that many Russian personnel either lacked domestically produced “Azart” radios or did not know how to use them. The milblogger claimed that frontline communications have relied almost entirely on Chinese radios for an unspecified time and their Russian analogs, although Ukrainian forces frequently intercept and monitor these devices. The milblogger noted that Russian domestic radios are less common and underproduced, partly due to sanctions and quality control issues.
