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.

The name "Oreshnyk" was used by the Kremlin to create the impression of a having new technology to intimidate the West.

🤣
Approximately 100 destroyed invaders. Although the video is only 5 minutes long, it shows the daily work of drone operators.

There is a plan to seize the deposits and issue IOUs in the form of shares, with a prohibition to sell the shares for 1 or 2 years.

“Cheap energy (oil) will drive the Trump economic boom.”
$50 oil about maximizes US economic growth. Russia needs about $70 just to stay afloat, and the Saudis need about $90 to balance their current year budget (but their credit allows them to borrow enough to cover for many years of shortfall, unlike Russia, who now lives hand to mouth).
“The ballistic missile launched by Russia, which they claimed was a new missile called Oreshnyk was actually a RS-26 “Rubezh” missile produced 14 years ago.”
I wonder how hard it was, to get one to function?
Prime Minister Michel Barnier is displaced in France, not President Macron.
“VTB Bank is reportedly on the brink of collapse... There is a plan to seize the deposits and issue IOUs”
Time to stampede out of the ruble?
Currency collapse for Christmas?
That would sure get them hungry for a deal.
How soon before Ivan and Ivanka begin to withdraw all of their money feom all Russian banks?
Bank run, anyone?
I wonder how hard it was, to get one to function?

I believe there will be a bank run in ruzzia. It's a matter of when, not if.
Now, instead of the big stage, the loser will go home in a plastic bag... 💥
All Russian Nazis will be destroyed.

The Moscow Times reports:
“Russians’ cash savings (in rubles) have reached an all-time low of 15.9 trillion rubles ($152.15 billion) so far this year due to high interest rates, the country’s second-largest bank VTB, said Wednesday. (4 Dec)”
Apparently, a big driver of the recent fall in the ruble (briefly hitting 115 to the dollar), was Russians rushing to buy foreign currency after the last round of US sanctions, that included GazpromBank.
I misconstrued the Russian Central Bank Statement at that time, about their activities in the foreign exchange market.
I thought that they had stopped intervening to support the ruble by buying rubles (because they lacked the funds to continue), and that is why it dropped.
I now believe that what they actually said, was that they would not be buying any foreign currency through the end of the year - that it was a measure to support the ruble, in reaction to a surge of individuals moving to exchange their rubles for foreign currency, bringing the ruble exchange rate down.
So popular sentiment in Russia seems (rightfully) to be worried about the value of the ruble. They might be spooked into a greater stampede, by future sanctions and shocks.
Oil prices are lower than this time last year, and Russian revenues sank as well. Russia sinks or swims, on the price of oil. $50 Brent next year, would probably put them under.
OilPrice.com reports:
“Russia’s revenues from oil plunged by 21% in November compared to a year earlier as the international benchmark prices and the price of Russia’s flagship crude, Urals, fell last month amid concerns about global oil demand.
In November, for a second month in a row, Russia’s oil revenues slumped from the comparable month in 2023, according to Bloomberg’s estimates based on official government data released on Wednesday.
Russia has based its tax levies and calculations for November on an average price of the Urals grade of $64.72 per barrel, which was significantly down from the $81.69 per barrel used to calculate taxes a year ago.
As a result, the Kremlin pocketed last month $5.8 billion (605.2 billion Russian rubles) from oil-related taxes, down by 21% compared to November 2023.”
President Trump is going to drive the price of oil down.
