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 storm is bringing more and more petroleum products to Anapa's beaches from tankers that sank in the Kerch Strait.
The oil slick has already contaminated up to 35 km of coastline.
Currently, the oil slick is moving toward Anapa's central beach.

A buggy and an armored car packed with Russian infantry were off to assault the Ukrainian Defense Forces’ positions in the Toretsk sector. The vehicles blew up on mines and were hit head-on by FPV drones. On their way, they were losing troops desperately begging the others to wait for them.
The occupiers suffered heavy losses. The remnants of the enemy infantry dispersed across the ruins, where strike UAVs started hunting them down.
The lack of armored vehicles forces the occupiers to attack using anything with four or even two wheels. The tactic makes their chances for elimination skyrocket.

The descriptions are basic, but the 19 separate listings are a reminder of how flexible and valuable the FPV system has become.

In one chapter, the manual recommends to "stand still" and maybe the drone operator won't see you.
As you can see from the link below, that doesn't always work.

Ukraine says it's developed a laser weapon that can shoot down aircraft flying as high as 6,000 feet. Vadym Sukharevskyi, Commander of Unmanned Systems Forces, told Interfax the weapon, called Tryzub, is still under development but has been successfully tested. "It really works, it really exists," he said. Sukharevskyi said Ukraine is the fifth country in the world to develop this kind of technology.
Sukharevskyi said his command has also developed drone-carrying drones that take small attack drones most of the way to attack targets deep inside Russia. The "mother drones" carry two attack drones and have a range of more than 40 miles. "They carry 2 FPVs and actually act as a repeater and hit deep enemy targets," he said.

Dude is straight out of Monty Python, except he’s not funny.
What a Clown Show.
“The Russian pipeline through Ukraine (Druzhba (Brotherhood), AKA COMECON) supplies about 1% of Europe’s total natural gas consumption, so, if that is cut off on January 1, 2025, it will affect primarily Hungary, Austria and Slovakia”
It is also a big deal for Serbia. And it looks like Russian gas through it will be halted on New Year’s Eve.
Bottom line: New Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) ships have been added to to the Greek network, that expand LNG import capacity enough to more than compensate for what is being halted from Russia (but they will likely have to pay more for it).
The Nordstream pipelines (3 out of 4) have been destroyed - flooded and corroding. The Yamal pipeline no longer carries Russian gas West, but instead the European portions now flow in reverse, to bring imported LNG and Norwegian pipeline gas to Central Europe. Druzhba and the Turkish pipelines (TurkStream and BlueStream) are the last.
Druzhba stops flowing Russian gas in a couple of weeks (but could still carry Ukrainian or Kazakh). Turkish pipelines are still flowing a lot of of Russian gas, but can also transit Azeri gas or imported LNG, and can be connected later to transport other alternative supplies (some projects already well advanced, but a potential big one from Qatar through liberated Syria would be a potential big deal, that could completely displace Russian quantities).
“Russia’s Share in European LNG Market”
Unlike pipeline gas, the Europeans could shut off Russian LNG in a day, simply by only accepting shiploads from other suppliers. The USA just activated a new export facility in Louisiana this last week.
Europe will now hold the energy weapon to the head of Russia, instead of the other way around, as when Europe relied on Russian pipeline gas, and had no capability to rapidly replace it. That dependency is gone for good - the alternative infrastructure is now completed and operational. Because of Putin.
And of course, Russia’s remaining LNG exports to Europe are only a small fraction of what their total natural gas exports were, for the decades before Putin screwed it all up for Russia.
The UK announced more sanctions on Russia, and more Monetary grants for Ukraine today.
“Lieutenant General of the Russian Armed Forces Igor Kirillov”
Yet another victim of the Putin curse.
Putin is the Doom of Russia.
The UK can sanction Russia and throw taxpayer money at the feet of Zelensky all day long, I don't care. As an American citizen, I care about America, unlike you foreigners.
It seems likely that Speedy may have died.
No one has heard from him, and Free Republic does draw an older crowd.
If that is the case, your posts about him are particularly distasteful and ghoulish.
Personal trolling in any event, is a violation of the rules.
“The UK can sanction Russia and throw taxpayer money at the feet of Zelensky all day long, I don’t care.”
Yeah, you do.
That is why you troll them too.
Anything, in the service of Putin’s war aims.
