As noted on the website: "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.
How about documenting all the losses...from the USA and all the other countries that “donated”.
More than half the orc tanks are dead or captured.
Good!

**Fuller explanation of Orc military structure:
The RGF once used the Army with many Divisions. But that was during WWII and the cold war. Since there were no more major wars, the RGF downsized its unit division from Division to Battalion. However since 2014-2020, they have begun to convert back to Division.
Now there is a mix of unit designations Division and Battalion.
None of the smaller divisions are even close to Western unit make up (totally forget the “BTG” terminology - a Western construct).
For instance: there are 2 kinds of Mechanized Infantry Brigades, each with a different, but similar, make up. Call them Type A and Type B.
Type A has 2 tank battalions (~60 T-72 tanks), 2 Infantry battalions, Engineer battalion, Recon battalion, 2 self propelled arty battalions (could be up to 3 battalions), MLRS (Grad) battalion, AA battalion, Comm battalion, UAV battalion (Orlon-10), Sniper battalion, and Support battalion. Self-sufficient.
Type B has 3 infantry battalions (mixed as A& B below), 1 Tank battalion.
Infantry battalions in each Brigade are of two types, call them A & B.
A has ~540 troops, 49 BTR-82s, 8 120MM Mortars, 6 AGS-17s, 15 AT missile. 3 SPG-9s. 3 companies of about 109-110 troops.
Fighting force about 300 troops.
B has ~460 troops, 42 - BMP-2s, 8 120mm mortars, 6 AGS-17s, 15 AT missiles, 3 SPG-9s. 3 companies of 91 troops.
Fighting force about 270 troops.
Troops on the frontline are never more than half, but more like 40%

**Artillery (key to success in this war)
Regular Artillery & Artillery Dispersion: The further you go past 7km, the greater the dispersion: the distance between where the target actually is and where the shell may hit.
Regular Artillery: Shelling over 10km is almost useless because of dispersion which might start at 95m at 15km, increasing form there. Shells cost ~$100-200.
Massed tubes is how the WWII was fought on the Eastern front by the Soviets: have 100-400 tubes per kilometer of the front. Soviets relied on quantity, not quality to basically obliterate everything, including the actual target.
This is how artillery works; this holds true for both sides with artillery.
Newer Artillery shells have GPS guided fins that help guide the shell to a more precise point, ie: lowers dispersion drastically and keeps it the same over the range of the piece. Dispersion will be 50m out to furthest range of the piece. Shells cost~$5,000.
Even newer shells are GPS guided with fins and rocket assist, having a still lower dispersion, and go further. Dispersion will be 10m out to 40km. Shells cost~$70,000.
At start of war the UA, shell costs were zero, as they had stockpiles left over from Soviet times. For the RGF, their costs are also zero for the same reason, but they have enough for this war times 4. This heavily incentives the orcs to rely on quantity verses quality. RGF has some test examples of the new shells, but they have too many of the regular, so they just obliterate.
The UA is getting the fin guided shells which makes life difficult for Orc batteries in counter-fire.
When the UA gets armored 155mm self-propelled artillery: US M-109s, the UKs AS-90s, and German’s PzH-2000s life will get very difficult.
Regular Artillery Shells: they tend not to target beyond 5-7km when dispersion is smaller. To correct this the Orcs use Orlan-10 drones, an integrated part of every Mechanized Brigade, to spot rounds. Orlan-10 components are sections and they cannot build more (had ~3000 at start). Orlan-10s make regular shells more efficient at 7km or less: may only take 3 rounds to hit the target.
This ability with drones and unlimited stocks of shells makes the orc artillery very, very deadly at less that 7km - as the UA has experienced with its huge losses to artillery fire, accounting for the majority of UA troop deaths.
Orlan-10 uses 4-stroke gasoline engine, has both optical and infrared cameras. Good at recognizing tanks, but not so good at troops. Stays up 16hrs, goes 12km. Low observable, composite materials. Embedded in specific Mech. battery, makeing them very reliable over UA artillery
UA drone is not so good - almost nothing - have only 25 stand alone and can be taken away from artillery. Tech specs worse - uses electric power to cover 100km and batteries lose power fast in cold weather.
Almost nothing on UA side for drones; saving grace was civilian using their personal drones to spot. But those drones an only go 1-5km. Because they had to be so close to orcs, many of civilians were seen by orcs and killed (after the video or picture was taken). It is always what is NOT shown that is important in understanding the true situation. Still heavily short range commercial drones.
Coming soon US counter battery units which will replace or mitigate Orc advantages in Artillery fire. Also UK Brimstone anti-tank missiles are present and mounted on small flatbed trucks.

**Threats issued to Finland over NATO. Now on Orc todo list.
**UA transferred 58th Brigade to Donbas, Severodonetsk salient
Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead
- no expansion today.
- Russian troops are slowly mopping up corner between Oskil and Siverskiy Donets rivers controlled by Ukrainian side before. No changes today or yesterday.
- Zaporizhya frontline - no changes today.
- Popasna area: Russia troops broke through Ukrainin defense line north of Popasna and advanced to village Komyshuvakha where they were finally stopped
- Russian troops are squeezing line around Severodonetsk and attempting to establish bridgeheads near Bilogorivka and Pryvillya. Russian bridgehead at Bilogorivka was finally destroyed by Ukrainian troops.
(Printed material - Some of the items below may be out of date, and not updated yet)
1. Kharkiv: Ukrainian troops are slowly pushing Russian side out - they captured village of Ternova and Starytsya thereby reestablished Ukrainian state bounder there. Russian is withdrawing its battle-worn troops from here to Russian territory.
**Small UA recon group crossed into Orc Land and found the the expected concentrations of Orc troops gone. Very strange. Empty: on superficial level.
**Orc troops previously in area: 200th, 2sfB, 144D, 138th, 59th T Rgt/144th D
**Puts UA close to Orc logistic hub to Luhansk. A literal stone’s throw away.
**Orcs probably rerouting its logistics to safer routes.
**Belograde buffer to west remains
2. Izyum bridgehead: No major Russian progress today. It is extremely dangerous penetration by Russian troops that potentially could lead to large pocket for Ukrainian troops west of Donetsk.
3. Lyman bridgehead. No changes today.
4. Popasna, Rubizhne and Severodonetsk. Russian troops captured all of Rubizhne. Russian mercenaries - Wagner Group operates in Popasna, also Russian 57 brigade operates there as well. Confirmed capture of Popasna by Russian troops. Russian troops advanced north of Popasna to village Komyshevakha.
**Orcs broke though UA 24th Brigade and moved north to cut off Severodonetsk; a few buildings captured by Orcs on outskirts of Severodonetsk.
**UA 24th something going on - likely exhausted.
**UA 58th brought in
5. West of Donetsk: Avidyivka and Maryinka. Avdiyivaka - never ending attempts of the Russian side to break-through there. No frontline changes today.
6. Vugledar is in Ukrainian hands.
7. Velyka Novosilka - Gulyapole stretch of frontline. Ukrainian strongholds are towns of Gulyaypole and village of Velyka Novosilka. Russian 19D is operating there. Russian troops are consolidating their gains. Also, 42D has been spotted in the area. Russian troops caputred village Vremivka attached to Velyka Novosilka from west and separate by small river.
The most northern group of Russian troops has been stopped before village of Vilne Pole. Ukranian side brought its 128 brigade and regiment Azov Kyiv to stop Russian advance there. No Russian progress here today.
8. Mariupol: opportunity to do a breakout attempt by the Ukrainian forces might have been lost as density of Russian troops increased due to smaller perimeter. Based on other sources, opportunity to break out is still viable.
9. Kherson bridgehead: Ukrainian attack in the north from Mala Shestirnya to Novomykolayivka where Ukrainian troops were stopped by the Russian troops.
**UA108th/60th troops push Orc’s (Kiev-West group) 155th and 4MC 10km south.
**155th suffered heavy casualties in the north. Troops transferred from the 40th Naval Infantry Brigade to bolster 155th; 40NB operates mainly in Popasna.
**4th MC (military camp that functions as a Brigade) is occupational force in Orc occupied Georgia. Maybe only half of it is present.
Should be May 12th - sorry
I doubt it is available. I wasn’t really asking anyone to do anything.
Wow - this is the conservative estimate.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense is reporting almost twice as much.
Biggest losses for Russia since WWII - already past the total from a decade in Afghanistan.
NATO precision weapons seem to have started turning up the lethality.
Russian retention rates are likely going to be very, very low, as soldier’s contracts expire.
No rational person should take joy in all this death, destruction and what is to follow. The US, the EU and the world now know that Russia is not the military juggernaut once so feared. It is now time for the US to actively promote a diplomatic solution rather than continuing this war along static lines and exacerbate the dire world consequences that are already inevitable. Also given the apocalyptical nature of the Russian psyche under stress, it won’t take much of a miscalculation to start deploying nuclear weapons.
How about you start a daily posting and do it yourself?
NATO standard Artillery (American M777 howitzers) are now firing. Notice the lack of craters around the destroyed vehicles - only the targets are struck.
I consider it ALL lost.
Could also have been the UK’s anti-tank Brimstone - now operating somewhere mounted on flatbed trucks
Truck-Mounted Brimstone Missile Launcher Emerges In Ukraine
A highly advanced anti-armor missile paired with just about the simplest improvised launch platform imaginable is a very deadly combo.

That’s not how I read your post, but nice back pedal.
No rational person should take joy in all this death
How about you do that yourself! I'm sure that your Russian masters would be happy to assist you in doing that!

Nah, I'd say we ought to wait until another thousand tanks are obliterated before we intervene diplomatically.
