Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine (2 year anniversary)
ORYX ^ | Since February 24, 2022 and daily | ORYX

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.

“Has he left this thread”

Perhaps, SpeedyInTexas is creatively involved within the real-world.

“At an even deeper level, Dr. Greenfield concludes that the substantial changes in our world that are driven by technology will not only affect our thinking and behavior, but there will also be, as the emerging research is demonstrating, significant alterations in our brains.

She cites, as an example, how dopamine, the influential neurochemical that is significantly impacted by technology, reduces activity in the prefrontal cortex, the area most associated with so-called executive functioning including attention, self-control, abstract thinking, planning, decision making. The use of technology has also been shown to influence dopamine in the same way as do sex and gambling.”

Some Freepers do demonstrate the reduction of executive functioning activity in their prefrontal cortex, i.e. self-control, abstract thinking.

The 63rd Brigade shared intercepted Russian radio communications from the Lyman direction.

The Russians complain that Baba Yaga is "screwing them over every which way" and plead to fall back "even for just one day" due to a lack of supplies.

However, the orders remain unchanged: advance.

'Peaky Blinders' UAV unit repelled a powerful assault attempt on the village of Maksymivka, south of Kurakhove, this morning.

The goal was to encircle the Ukrainian forces in that area using four tanks and six IFVs with dismounts.

The convoy was destroyed, including 2 tanks, 2 IFVs and a bunch of troops.

That's presumptive on your part. I prefer to believe that, much like you, his dancing in the blood of innocent women and children became too heavy a cross to carry. Remember, it was Speedy who cheered on a nuclear holocaust. That degree of instability wears one down.

Igor Girkin-Strelkov commented on the events in Syria, stating that he predicted problems back in 2015 due to involvement in a war in a distant country.

He added that it is impossible to help Assad in any way, and his defeat will automatically mean Russia’s defeat.

Muscovy continues its crackdowns on young Russians eligible for conscription. For instance, officials tried to break into the apartment of a 22-year-old student, cutting off the electricity entirely. When he came out, they forcibly took him to a medical examination.

The autumn draft is mandatory, but it doesn’t necessarily mean being sent to war—only to military service. However, after that, conscripts may be offered an SMO contract.

[ Mutiny! Thousands of Russians Abandon Positions in Kurakhove ]


Today [ Dec 02, 8 pm ], there are a lot of interesting updates from the Kurakhove [ Donetsk ] direction.

Here, in their relentless push to advance in Kurakhove, Russian generals have imposed a strategy of unyielding assaults, disregarding the devastating human cost.

This brutal approach has reached the boiling point, and finally crushed the morale of Russian troops, leading to mass desertions that are now spreading uncontrollably through the entire region.

As Kurakhove proved to be a tough place to achieve a penetration, Russian forces have intensified their focus on a flanking operation targeting the southern approach to Kurakhove. Using the village of Dalne as a staging ground, Russian commanders have devised a plan involving platoon-sized mechanized assaults, typically with 3 to 4 BTR or BMP armored vehicles.

These vehicles transport stormtroopers into tree lines considered tactically significant before advancing toward Kurakhove itself. The stated objective is to secure these positions and create conditions for semi-encircling Kurakhove from the south and east. However, the reality on the ground paints a picture of chaos and desperation rather than coherent strategy.

The assaults demonstrate a blatant disregard for human life. Combat footage shows Russian forces repeatedly sent across open fields laden with landmines. In one sequence, a BMP strikes an anti-tank mine, disabling the vehicle and forcing its occupants to dismount into a death trap.

Exposed and disorganized, the dismounted troops scramble for cover, only to face relentless attacks from Ukrainian drones, which drop grenades with lethal precision. Survivors often seek refuge in nearby treelines, but these areas are under constant drone surveillance and are quickly targeted by Ukrainian demolition teams.

These futile assaults highlight the absence of a rational operational goal. Russian generals appear to prioritize advancing at any cost, regardless of the overwhelming evidence that such efforts are doomed. The treelines that Russian forces aim to secure offer no substantial tactical value beyond being the next arbitrary objective.

Ukrainian forces, recognizing this irrationality, have strategically minimized their presence in these areas, relying instead on drones, mines, and artillery to exact a heavy toll, without engaging in costly direct confrontations.

Even when Russian forces attempt to adapt, their efforts border on absurdity. Frustrated by their inability to make progress, Russian commanders ordered an amphibious operation across the Kurakhove reservoir, assuming the Ukrainian positions along the coastline were lightly defended. Soldiers equipped with rubber boats prepared for the crossing under the cover of darkness.

However, Ukrainian drones with thermal imaging detected the group as they assembled, and precision strikes obliterated the assault force, before it could even launch. The operation, like so many others, failed before it began, leaving piles of bodies and shattered equipment as the only result.

This cycle of hopeless attacks has devastated Russian morale. Soldiers on the ground are acutely aware of the futility of their missions. Survivors recount being sent into “meat assaults” with no meaningful chance of success, only to be slaughtered by mines, drones, and artillery.

The Russian Southern and Easterm Military Districts that are responsible for the Kurakhove direction have suffered mass desertions, with reportedly thousands of soldiers abandoning their posts in this region alone.

Interviews with deserters reveal a shared sense of hopelessness and betrayal: many complain about broken promises of payment, being sent into combat while ill, and the general indifference of their commanders to their survival.

The desertions have created a cascading effect, further weakening the Russian ability to sustain assaults. With fewer troops available and the remaining forces demoralized, the intensity of Russian attacks has significantly diminished. Ukrainian forces, meanwhile, have capitalized on this breakdown, stabilizing the frontlines and continuing to inflict heavy losses on disorganized Russian units.

Overall, the situation in Kurakhove epitomizes the larger strategic failure of the Russian military command. The obsessive focus on advancing at any cost, combined with a callous disregard for the lives of their own soldiers, has rendered their operations not only ineffective but counterproductive.

As Russian forces bleed out in senseless attacks, the Russian offensive is reaching it’s culmination point every hour.


[ Crossroad of Death. Russian Columns Destroyed by Tank Fire ]

Today [ Dec 03, 6am ], there are a lot of updates from the Kurakhove [ Donetsk ] direction.

Here, in an attempt to outflank the main Ukrainian stronghold, Russians launched a series of attacks on the northern flank, hoping to capitalize on their high ground positions.

However, their advance was funneled between two rivers, allowing Ukrainian forces to launch precise and devastating tank raids, catching Russians in the bottleneck and eliminating the assaulting troops.

While the Russian offensive toward the town itself and its southern flank appears unpromising, their advance on the northern flank has allowed them to capture Berestky and initiate fighting for Sontsivka. Securing these settlements would enable Russia to form two axes of advance toward Stari Terny.

By capturing Stari Terny, Russia would be positioned to threaten and control the rear logistics of Kurakhove, particularly the highway passing through Dachne.

The threat to this sole Ukrainian supply route would force Ukrainian forces at Kurakhove to withdraw to avoid encirclement. This strategy is designed to expedite the capture of Kurakhove by bypassing urban combat and advancing across open fields.

However, the axis of advance toward Berestky was highly impractical for Russian forces. Ukrainian troops positioned in the high-rise buildings of the Kurakhove Thermal Power Plant have observation points that allow them to monitor and target any Russian advance along the Berestky-Stari Terny road, with clear lines of sight across the Kurakhove reservoir.

As a result, Russian forces shifted their focus to Sontsivka, as an advance on Stari Terny appeared more feasible from that direction. In the Sontsivka area, the Russians hold significant tactical advantages that facilitate their advance on the village.

First, they have a direct route to the village via a highway, enabling rapid deployment of mechanized assault groups and quick troop dismounting within minutes.

Additionally, a topographic analysis reveals that Russian positions to the north of the village are situated at a higher elevation, granting them fire control over Ukrainian forces positioned in the lowlands.

Despite these advantages, the Russians face natural obstacles in the form of the Strashny and Solona rivers. These 2 rivers converge in the village, hindering the Russian advance toward the southern part, and creating a funnel that restricts tactical maneuverability.

This limits the Russians’ ability to outflank the Ukrainian positions, making their attacks predictable and easier to monitor and counter.

Additionally, Ukrainian forces in the southern part of the village are positioned to effectively target Russian troops attempting to cross the rivers, further complicating any Russian advances in this area.

The Russian forces proceeded with their attack, and some units managed to enter the northern part of Sontsivka. However, this move placed them in a kill zone that had been carefully prepared by Ukrainian forces.

Once the Russians were effectively bottlenecked in northern Sontsivka, Ukrainian forces deployed T-64BV tanks to the north of the village to raid Russian positions. Combat footage from the area shows Ukrainian tanks targeting Russian troop concentrations in nearby buildings.

The tank fire successfully eliminated these concentrations, and the tanks managed to withdraw under the cover of smoke screens, created by their own fire.

These constant, unpredictable tank raids prevent the Russians from amassing a sufficient force to launch further attacks from northern Sontsivka, as their units are continually disrupted and eliminated, hindering their ability to organize for subsequent offensives.

Overall, the terrain configuration and lack of the decisive tactical advantage at most of the northern flank of Kurakhove, forced Russians on a predictable route of attack toward Sontsivka, which the Ukrainians managed to counter by effectively leveraging natural obstacles in the form of the rivers to their advantage.

Such circumstances give Russians no other options, but to continue highly attritional frontal assaults on Kurakhove, without any chance of a quick victory with an encirclement.
