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.

••denotes transcribed dialogue.
———————————————————————————————————————
••Energy Situation:
General discussion on energy in Europe and Ukraine.
Side effect of the drought in Europe is some nuclear power plants in France had to shut down because there was not enough water to cool them. Electrical prices go up further as a result. This helps kill industries.
Fertilizer plants from UK to Poland shutting down because energy prices are too high. Food supply for next year under real threat. Expensive energy = no fertilizer. No fertilizer = no food. No food = starvation and social chaos.
The only solution is to restart coal fired power plants. But no one is moving in that direction.
Ukraine NG producers shut down they are too close to the front & the company is a corrupt monopoly. Ukraine will definitely not have enough NG for the winter.
Meanwhile, the Russians are trying to disconnect the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and its 6 reactors from the Ukraine power grid and connect it to theRussian grid. Electrical capacity now has some to spare, but the situation will become dire in the winter.
US NG prices dropped because a Texas LNG plant exporting LNG to Europe caught fire. So that production has to go somewhere. Until around November, when the problems will be fixed. There is a lot of financial pressure to export to Europe because of the extreme high price there. Even the Asian NG producers are exporting to Europe because there is a lot of profit to be had with Europe as the highest bidder.
Russian grain exports were only 6 Mt for July and the August numbers so far are at 2017 levels.
The combinations of high NG prices, high electrical prices, low grain supplies could all come together this winter. Unless misguided policies change.
••Military situation:
While attacks continue, the Orcs are not making much progress.
Most of the Russian groups that fought east of Kyiv have returned to the front: the 31st AB is back, believed to be somewhere west of Donetsk in the SE corner.
———————————————————————————————————————
Summary:
No major changes.
Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead: no changes
- North Donbass area: no changes
- Donetsk West: no changes.
- Kherson bridgehead: no changes
———————————————————————————————————————
1. Kharkiv: No changes.
••Quiet. Not Russian priority
2. Izyum bridgehead: No changes.
••Quiet.
3. North Donbass: No changes.
••Attack continue. Repulsed.
4. West of Donetsk: No changes.
••No progress by Orcs. Significant artillery fire near Pisky.
••Looks more and more like Russian command has decided to northern-southern pincer. Still have to capture Donbas region. Their strategic objective here.
5. Vugledar - Velyka Novosilka, Gulyapole:
••Whole point of attacks here is to destroy UA defenses in Vugledar - Velyka Novosilka area.
6. Kherson bridgehead:
UA has retreated from the salient. Snihurivka captured. They increased their Crimea buffer. The objective is Mykolaiv to the west and later Kryvyi Rih to the north, but that attack has not happened yet.
Russia is generally using up its oldest and least strategic equipment, while we’re depleting our stores of advanced weaponry.
RuZZia lost is best equipment and troops in the early weeks of the invasion.
“The prime minister of Japan said Wednesday that his country would restart more idled nuclear power plants and look into the feasibility of developing next-gen reactors.”

I’d suggest these two mendacious misfits get a room but they are probably sharing one right now.
Most of US aid so far is hardly advanced. The bulk of the US commitment so far is thousands of tons of 155mm artillery shells. And this goes also for the vast bulk of Euro aid.
More to the point, the US aid given is not of the sort that is strategically significant to the US. The US depends mainly on its air force and navy. Army munitions have little relevance to the US as the US has no need or intention to engage in massive continental ground wars.
