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.

In another blow to Russia's ailing economy, winter crops are facing record losses this year. It's reported only 31% of crops are in “good” condition, compared to 74% a year ago.“ https://

Daily Mail article ("Kim Jong Un sends North Korean women to fight in Ukraine") with the altered image has now been removed. Link now redirects to Daily Mail home page. No apology or explanation. They AI altered a video from 2023 of Russian twin sisters Zhenya and Sasha, made them look Korean, and ran with the BS narrative of North Korean women soldiers fighting in Ukraine. These lies from the media are pushing us to nuclear war, and they cry about how X is fake news. Daily Mail is fake news. @elonmusk

Syrian rebels have now captured multiple loaded Bm-30 Smerch long-range heavy rocket launchers.
The Smerch, and its 300mm rockets, could easily hit Russia’s Khmeimim Air Base, and also threaten the key Russian Naval base at Tartus.

A long way from Ukraine.
There are many signs.

“In another blow to Russia’s ailing economy, winter crops are facing record losses.”
Wrath of God?
Could be weather, but disruptions to financing operations, due to interest rates surging, might also have contributed. As you point out, manpower might be an issue. Perhaps local fertilizer and fuel disruptions from refinery strikes, or rail system delays.
The wheels are starting to come off, as multiple problems compound.
Because of Putin, the Doom of Russia.
I wonder if Ukraine will assist significant strikes on Russia’s air base in Syria, now 20 miles from the front, well within rocket and drone range.
This is evidence of the effective counter-battery fight of 🇺🇦 Defense Forces.

ISR drones, like the Shark (pictured below), are also contributing to counter-battery success.
The ruzzian artillery systems can "scoot", but they can't hide from thermal imaging ISR drones.
Several RU bloggers on x.com state this as "fact".
OPEC+ meets tomorrow (5 Dec), where the plan had been to start undoing the production restrictions they currently have in place.
But President Donald J. Trump, and American production, loom large in their calculations.
What will President Trump do to Venezuelan, Russian and Iranian production? Will President Trump’s tariffs on China reduce their demand for oil?
OPEC+ is on the horns of a dilemma - increasing production could drop (Brent) oil prices below $70, when many members need $80 or $90 to balance their budgets; but higher prices would likely result in higher American (Brazilian and other non OPEC+) production.
It seems like the Saudis may push for extending OPEC+ production restrictions for another 3-6 months, to see how things shake out after president Trump’s inauguration.
Russia will no doubt keep cheating for all they are worth, as their finances grow more dire.
To a significant degree, the Russian Aerospace Forces eggs are all in one basket, with their Hmeimim Air Base. They heavily rely on it for Command and Control, Intelligence, Air Defense and Logistics; as well as the Tactical Air Support they provide to regime forces.
President Trump will do all within his power as President to increase domestic oil production.
If U.S. production causes oil prices to drop, then some of the OPEC+ countries will want to increase production to help stabilize revenue.
As we all know, this production increase will cause oil prices to drop further.

Butcher Blinken once again encourages Zelensky to lower the age of conscription, so that Ukraine fights Washington’s pointless, failed proxy war to the very last Ukrainian

When the war in Ukraine is finally over, with half the country dead or maimed, Volodymyr Zelensky will end up living in Miami with billions in the bank and a TV talk show.
