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.

❗️TRUMP: "I reject the catastrophic advice of Washington's Generals and beaurocrats who only know how to get us into conflict."
For decades Victoria Nuland has been obsessed with pushing Ukraine toward NATO and the State Department support for uprising in Ukraine."

Has he abandon his post, or is he just crying over the Trump victory?
SO?
So, the U. S. Constitution doesn’t have any provision for the Secretary of State to make a promise.
Just wow.
Your previous post is complete B.S.
There was a meeting.
There was no promise.
There was no agreement.
There was no treaty.
There was no diplomacy.
Does it hurt when the truth shatters your lies?
Russian cruise missile launch. Kalibrs from Black Sea.
16 Tu-95MS/Tu-160 airborne near launch lines.
“There was no promise. There was no agreement. There was no treaty.”
It is a Strawman argument. A common rhetorical device. A common logical fallacy. Simply propaganda, designed to mislead.
Russian Mobilization and Force Generation Efforts (Russian objective: Expand combat power without conducting general mobilization)
The Kremlin continues to promote the “Time of Heroes” program that aims to militarize the Russian government at the local, regional, and federal levels as a way to prevent the return of “Afghan syndrome” - a term used to describe a period in Russian history when Soviet veterans began to return from Afghanistan and turned to organized crime in 1990s - in Russia. Kremlin newswire TASS published an interview with the first “Time of Heroes” veteran to be appointed to a federal level position, Russian Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative to the Ural Federal Okrug Artyom Zhoga, on November 27.[81] TASS attempted to favorably portray Zhoga as a down-to-earth veteran from occupied Donetsk Oblast who was one of 83 individuals selected to participate in the “Time of Heroes” program of 44,000 applicants. Zhoga notably implied that the “Time of Heroes” will allow Russia to avoid “Afghan syndrome.”[82] Zhoga expressed confidence that “Afghan syndrome” will not impact Russian veterans returning from Ukraine and that Russia will continue to engage returning veterans via the “Time of Heroes” program to ensure that these veterans work in government structures and large corporations. Russian officials have expressed concerns about the return of “Afghan syndrome” since late 2022, with Russian Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matviyenko stressing that the Russian government needs to make concerted efforts to reintegrate veterans into civilian life in December 2022.[83] ISW had previously reported on numerous instances of Russian veterans, many of whom have a prior criminal past, committing crimes upon their return from the frontlines in Ukraine.[84] Russian President Vladimir Putin had made numerous promises to the Russian society throughout the course of his presidency that Russia will not return to the economic and social despair of the 1990s, and the widespread promotion of the “Time of Heroes” program is likely aimed at reassuring the Russian public and preventing societal backlash against Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.[85]
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) is reportedly recommitting Russian prisoners of war (POWs) recently released from Ukrainian captivity to the frontlines in Ukraine. Russian independent outlet Vazhnye Istrorii (iStories) reported on November 27 that a released Russian POW filed a motion against the Russian MoD’s decision to deploy him to the frontlines.[86] iStories noted that the Russian MoD is using a loophole in the Geneva Convention, which does not mention the possibility of POW exchanges before the end of hostilities, to recommit released POWs to the frontlines. The Russian MoD also reportedly uses Putin's decree announcing partial mobilization on September 21, 2022, to justify the use of returned POWs in combat as the decree does not name the return from captivity as grounds for dismissal from mobilization.[87]
Russian regional authorities are continuing to increase financial incentives to recruit additional volunteers to fight in Ukraine. The Nizhny Novgorod Oblast government is offering Russian volunteers a one-time enlistment bonus of three million rubles (about $26,500), a certificate for 10 acres of land, and a monthly salary from 210,000 rubles ($1,856).[88] Ulyanovsk Oblast Governor Alexei Russkih announced on November 26 that the regional government increased increase its one-time enlistment bonus to 2.5 million rubles (about $22,000) to meet the requested recruitment quota of 900 troops before the end of 2024.[89]

MOSCOW, November 28. /TASS/. At a meeting of the board of directors in December, the Bank of Russia may raise the key rate by another 2 percentage points, to 23%. This rate may remain in place for the entire 2025, according to Dmitry Pianov, First Deputy President and Chairman of the Management Board of VTB.

Russian banks are actively preparing for the Central Bank rate increase to 25%. In December, growth to 23% is expected, and in February - to 25% due to a surge in inflation caused by military spending and the devaluation of the ruble, analysts predict. A month ago, the market considered 21% to be the limit, but growing inflation is making its own adjustments.
Perhaps he has, your obsession is fascinating
What truth?
FPV drones took out one BMP, while their tank got stuck in the mud.
The rest attempted to flee but were destroyed by the 3rd Assault Brigade's drones.

The truth that your judgement is so faulty that the only problem you have with Biden's Ukraine strategy is that he didn't pump enough American tax dollars into Zelensky's pockets.
Another VERY costly air attack for russia, which was largely ineffective.
Yes some damage done to energy infrastructure, but #Ukraine downed 76 of 85 cruise missiles & all 3 guided missiles.
All 97 strike drones either shot down or effected by electronic warfare systems

Thanks for the ping!
This comment begs for a review of the biggest misses by US intelligence:
1) Pearl Harbor
2) The Bay of Pigs invasion
3) The Tet Offensive
4) The Iranian Revolution
5) The Collapse of the Soviet Union
6) The 9/11 Attacks
7) The Iraq War WMDs
8) Biden's intentional collapse of our Southern Border
