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.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that if the United States stops funding the war in Ukraine, it risks losing its leadership role within NATO and on the global stage. This statement has sparked a range of reactions on social media, with some users expressing skepticism or outright opposition to continued U.S. involvement in NATO, while others debate the organization's relevance and the strategic implications for U.S. foreign policy.

Agree. These people who celebrate bloodshed and death give me the creeps. That poster in particular got off on grisly snuff videos. That’s psychotic.
Project much?
That you would refer to FReepers who disagree with you on Biden/Obama/Soros policies outs you as one of them.
We’re Americans and we are correct in questioning and opposing billions of our tax dollars being sent to a known money laundering operation with no auditing or accountability.
You little foreigners coming onto our site and yapping your tired little insults are a joke.
This is precisely why we mock you and laugh at you.
Belousov confirmed our insider information about a major war with NATO. Sources expect two waves of mobilization and express concerns.
The Minister of Defense allowed for a military conflict between Russia and NATO in the next decade. Thus, he confirmed our insider information. Back in May, we wrote that a war with NATO was possible in the coming years. And in September, our sources noted : now Russia is not ready for a major military clash with the West, it takes time to prepare. Andrei Belousov, in fact, confirmed these theses - a war is possible, but not now.
Our sources perceived Belousov’s statements differently. A general close to Valery Gerasimov saw in them a hint of an imminent large-scale mobilization. “For a war with NATO, we need more people. Even if it begins in a few years, it is already necessary to train personnel, in particular, by participating in the SVO (where else can you get valuable experience?). Therefore, I expect at least two waves of serious mobilization. The first - already in the winter, at the latest - in the spring of 2025 ,” he said. We noted that Belousov in his statements focused on contracts signed by new servicemen, and not on mobilization. “The figure of 427 thousand was mentioned there. This is not enough for a war with NATO. Millions of new troops are needed,” the channel's interlocutor responded.
Another source praised Belousov and noted: “NATO has always been afraid of us. And under Trump, it looks like it will be even more afraid. It's good that Andrei Removich played on this fear.”
Another of our interlocutors in the Ministry of Defense disagreed with him. “My opinion will not be popular, but I ask you to publish it. There is no point in rattling weapons and talking about a war with NATO now. We cannot defeat Western proxies from Kiev yet. What if the Americans listen to Andrei Removich and decide to increase aid to Ukraine? Who will be responsible for the retreat on several sections of the front that this could lead to? What if NATO launches preventive missile strikes? I hope that we will be more restrained now in order to prepare well for a war with NATO in the future. I also hope that Andrei Removich and Vladimir Vladimirovich will hear me. Consider this a public appeal to them,” the military man noted. We can guarantee that they will hear and read this post. But we are not yet ready to predict what will happen next.

The Russians are ashamed of not having managed a 3-day war against Ukraine. Putin cannot accept that Russian history books should say that he started a war against Ukraine that he lost, so he wants to expand it because losing to NATO is not as shameful.
Ukranian-First Clowns.
Now that Trump has promised peace, and with Speedy running away, it's time for these Snuff Film aficionados to fold things up.

[ Russian “Blitz” Turns Into Carnage ]

Today [ Dec 16, 8 pm ], there are a lot of important updates from the Toretsk [ Avdiivka ] direction.
Here, Russian forces, unable to break through the northern flank, redirected their efforts southward, in an effort to escape the misery of urban combat. Instead, they found themselves in a deadly trap, stuck in the lowlands with Ukrainians on the heights, allowing Ukrainian forces to unleash precise and devastating tank raids.
The primary objective of the Russian forces in this area is to capture Toretsk. However, the battle for the city, with its complex urban warfare dynamics, has proven exceptionally difficult for them.
Toretsk, along with the surrounding settlements of Zalizne, Druzhba, and Pivnichne, forms a 30-square-kilometer urban agglomeration similar in size to Bakhmut. This scale has allowed Ukrainian forces to effectively slow the Russian advance over the past 6 months.
As a result, the Russians have suffered unsustainable daily casualties - up to 100 per day - during their attempts to secure the town. This high attrition rate has forced them to shift their focus to the flanks, hoping to encircle and isolate Toretsk with fewer losses.
As mentioned in the previous report, the Russian attempt to flank over the northern part of the town ended in failure. This left the Russian forces with one remaining option: the southern flank. The Russian advance in this area was made possible by their control of Niu-York, which allowed them to gather forces and equipment here.
Their plan is to push north of Niu-York along the Kryvyi Torets River toward Shcherbynivka. Capturing the village would enable the Russians to launch flanking attacks on Toretsk, sever the main supply route to the town, weaken Ukrainian defenses, and potentially set the stage for a renewed offensive from the north.
However, the Russian advance on the southern flank puts their forces in a precarious position. If we look at the topographic map, we can see that Shcherbynivka and the surrounding settlements are located in the lowlands of the Kryvyi Torets River valley.
This gives Ukrainian forces the advantage of higher ground to the west of Shcherbynivka, at Katerynivka, and from Toretsk, allowing them to establish fire control and effectively suppress any Russian attempts to advance toward Shcherbynivka, Leonidivka, and Petrivka. As a result, Russian forces would find themselves trapped in a cauldron, exposed to fire from all directions.
Despite these tactical disadvantages, the Russian commanders decided to initiate attacks in this area, hoping that the advancing forces would be able to conceal themselves from fire in residential houses and consolidate their positions. To improve their concealment and the chances of success, Russian forces deployed and concentrated their forces in small groups within residential areas of Niu-York and Nelipivka at night, to prevent their detection by the Ukrainians.
This allowed small infantry groups of up to eight Russian stormtroopers to attempt infiltrations through Ukrainian lines under the cover of night. However, geolocated footage reveals that Ukrainian drone operators quickly detected and eliminated the Russian units as they sought shelter in between the destroyed houses.
Additionally, Ukrainians preemptively countered the Russian assaults by launching tank raids on Russian forces gathering in the tree lines.
Combat footage shows how T-64BV tanks, aided by reconnaissance from drone units, effectively identified Russian positions and fired on them with their main guns, destroying the Russian force’s concentrations. These tank raids proved highly successful, thwarting larger Russian assaults by eliminating forces still grouped together during their final preparations.
Overall, the Russians launched a poorly planned counterattack on the southern flank of Toretsk, hoping to encircle the city from the south, only to place their troops in a semi-encirclement themselves, due to Ukrainian fire control from the high ground and subsequent tank raids. Russian forces also do not have the available reserves to properly intensify their assaults on the flanks.
Several Russian analysts and soldiers on the ground have already critiqued their commanders for sending wounded Russian soldiers back into battle, for lack of available reserves. As the insufficient number of reserves does not allow Russians to maintain an overwhelming force in the area, Ukrainians are launching precision counterattacks to strike the Russian efforts where they are weakest.
