Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine (2 year anniversary)

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 Russian economy will collapse in 2025”

There is no way that Trump and his team are not aware of this, or fail to include it in their calculus.

I anticipate more blows to Russia’s position (economically and militarily) before the Inauguration even takes place.

Trump will hold the whip hand, and be able to drive the Russians into catastrophic economic and/or military losses, if they are not amenable to the terms he offers.

⚡️The new commander of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of 🇺🇦 Ukraine, Mykhailo Drapatiy, announced the beginning of “fundamental changes” that will affect the situation on the front.

• Military training: this involves reforming training programs and centers, as well as using the most modern simulators and other cutting-edge technologies in training. A soldier’s training should be best adapted to the needs of the front.

• Recruitment and social support: a transparent recruiting model with zero tolerance for corruption will be introduced in the Land Forces. At the same time, the approach to social support for a serviceman will change. He should feel constant care for himself: from the first day of service to employment in civilian life after release.

• Technologies: a Ukrainian infantryman should have a technological advantage over the enemy on the battlefield.

• Optimization of management processes: “Maneuverability and efficiency” are needed in the administrative apparatus, the basis for this will be organizational changes and digitalization.

Transitioning from the "ruzzian way" to the "Western Way."

“Over 2 years ago, BeauBo predicted ruzzia’s collapse.”

Math will have its day.

Current trends are unsustainable - something will have to change, or Russian economic crisis is inevitable.

There are a lot of variables, and a lot of actors involved, but oil prices and Trump’s policies are the big threats for inducing an imminent collapse.

The russian State Duma suggested that the Central Bank depict "Army Heroes" on banknotes.

"...oil prices and Trump’s policies are the big threats..."

Well stated!

[PIF]

Nope Canada’s PM in Ontario is threatening DJT with cutting off power to States - starting Jan 20-21.

[gleeaikin]

It helps that trolls are well known for lies and propaganda. Thus the figures posted for a million Ukraine casualties, are certainly wrong, and highly exaggerated.

Nope = Now

Russia has steadily been evacuating equipment via Khmeimim Air Base for about a week. Russia had numerous bases throughout Syria, including 4 smaller air bases, and there are reports of convoys of Russian troops and equipment leaving these various Russian bases heading to Tartus or Khmeimim. I expect those bases had some air defense systems. It’s quite possible one or more of those bases had a 91N6 radar. But I’m still hopeful that the new Syrian regime is kicking Russia out, and there are some indications that is happening.

The description in comment #9488 of Russia’s efforts to rescue their situation in Syria illustrates just how effective Ukraine has been in the Black Sea. The advances in the Sea Baby system of offense and their defense illustrates the creativity developed in Ukraine by this unwelcome war. 9488 show just how much grief and inconvenience has been caused to Russia as they need to spend weeks waiting form ships from their northern ports to arrive at Syrian military installations.

Regarding the age 25 limit for drafting Ukraine troops, I wonder if this gives young Ukranians an incentive to study ways to fight more effectively and develop means to destroy the enemy while preserving their own lives. THere are 3 years between a 4 year college graduation and age 25. Enough time to establish a person in a useful industry job. Perhaps a good technical engineering education can be done in fewer than 4 years? How young were the pioneer California garage inventors a few decades back, and how much technical education did they have?

But hey it’s GDP, right😎

Explosions have been heard and seen in the Russian city of Oryol, with reports of a powerful drone strike on the local oil refinery.

What I noticed from this video is that Russians will put up “houses “ where any spot is available
Truly wild layout

If they let the Russians stay after what they did to the Syrian people then it is about money and they are no better than Assad, probably aren’t.

Glad the Israelis are taking care of business and demilitarizing Syrian weapons and weapons storage

[gleeaikin]

Of course in was about money for the Russians. The question is was it also about drugs. On this evening’s Public TV programs I first heard about the discovery of a big Syrian drug operation apparently the project of Assad’s brother. This drug, Captagon, also known as the “poor man’s cocaine,” apparently is popular in the Middle East, and elsewhere? I wonder whether it is already in Russia or if Putin has been trying to keep it out? The Google page linked below has several articles on this new development in Assad debauchery and ruination of human beings.

The large quantity of the amphetamine related raw materials suggest that there may have been plans to expand this whole drug operation to other drugs and locations. Apparently this drug was being used for income because of the restrictions that had been place on Syria for their human rights violations. The level of knowledge and cooperation of Russia in this situation is of special interest as negotiations of Putin with the new guys in charge plays out. Reports are that the new guys have already destroyed large quantities of this/these drugs.

“Russia is withdrawing its S-400 air defense system from Khmeimim Air Base.”

If they were going to stay at that base, an S-400 would be something they would certainly like to have there.

Maybe they are hard up to protect a higher priority asset elsewhere, but it looks like an indicator that they are preparing to evacuate their bases.

Perhaps they just got a grace period to evacuate, until the cargo ships needed could arrive from Russia.

[BeauBo]

Captagon was widely used by ISIS.
