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. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers 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 the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it is 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.

“Likely M982 Excalibur in action again: A potent Russian 1L261 radar vehicle from the 1L260 Zoopark-1M counter-battery complex, along with a transport truck, were destroyed by precise Ukrainian artillery fire in #Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Note the proximity detonation.”

“A suicide UAV struck the Russian Black Sea Fleet’s headquarters in #Sevastopol- It looks like the same kind of modified Chinese commercial drone that used to strike the oil facility in Rostov in June.
It is unclear what air defense was doing”

How about Ukraine losses?
I saw they lost a Su24M last week, apparently due to friendly fire.
That’s their top-of-the-line ground attack plane. Only 10 made so far.
Nothing like killing two pilots and flushing $50,000,000 at the same time.
M982 Excalibur is a GPS- and inertial-guided munition capable of being used in close support situations within 75–150 meters (250–490 ft) of friendly troops or in situations where targets might be prohibitively close to civilians to attack with conventional unguided artillery fire.
Note the proximity detonation.
I don't understand the issue with "proximity detonation". The first detonation was a direct hit...the rest were well within GPS/INS tolerance.

Ukrainian Fighter Pilots Are Training On DIY A-10 Warthog Simulators
While the U.S. has yet to donate the famed Warthog to Ukraine, an infantry officer is taking preemptive measures just in case that day comes.

Ukrainian MiG-29s Are Firing AGM-88 Anti-Radiation Missiles
The Pentagon has now confirmed sending AGM-88 missiles to Ukraine and that they have been integrated onto the country’s MiG-29s.
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/ukrainian-mig-29s-are-firing-agm-88-anti-radiation-missiles
Excerpts:
... today, the German government revealed that it is planning to transfer 255 Leonardo Vulcano 155mm precision-guided artillery shells to the Ukrainian military. PzH 2000 tracked self-propelled 155mm howitzers, examples of which the Germans, Italians, and Dutch have sent to the Ukrainians, are among the artillery systems known to be able to fire these rounds
... German authorities also say they will send the Ukrainian armed forces pickup trucks armed with launchers for 70mm laser-guided rockets. The U.S. government previously announced a still largely unexplained transfer of 70mm Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System II laser-guided rockets

Dogfight Over Ukraine Shows The Air War Is Still Very Much Being Fought
Seeing fighter jets do battle at close quarters is a rare sight in modern warfare but yesterday folks in war-torn Ukraine saw such a spectacle.

No WiU update today. WiU was sounding hoarse yesterday.

wtf is an Anti-Radiation Missile?
Thomas C. Theiner
@noclador
To clarify:
• 1st an airburst Excalibur
• 2nd a first SMArt submunition
• 3rd to 5th standard projectiles in super quick mode
• 6th the second SMArt submunition
In total five projectiles were fired. The nearly simultaneous impacts make this definitely the work of a PzH 2000.
Its was a crashed drone that caught fire, not an ‘attack’.
proximity detonation = Air burst cluster munition to kill highly trained crew and the command hiding in shade.
Anti-Radiation Missile = any equipment that radiates on certain frequencies like radar.
bs
Thanks...I knew that, but that was many years ago. An air burst enhances blast and frag.
UMCRevMom Found a report of a sighting of ATACMS on a HIMARS, driving on a Ukrainian road.
Anti-Radiation Missile?
Is a missile that homes in on the source of some type of electromagnetic radiation, like an air defense radar, for example.

PIF is correct.
AMRAAM’s (AIM-120’s), and variants have been around for over 30 years, and quite useful, but expensive.
The Russuan R-77 was largely a copy.
These missiles were made to track and target radar to its source.
As a sub guy, you may know the Navy also has related weapons tech.
