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.

30% oil discount will really hurt RuZZia in the long run.
“Russia has approached several Asian countries to discuss possible long-term oil contracts at steep discounts as US officials continue to push a plan that would cap the price of the country’s oil, according to a Western official.
The tentative conversations to offer some Asian buyers discounts of up to 30% may be a sign that Russia is trying to head off discussions by Group of Seven nations about carving out an exception for pending European Union sanctions on Russian oil, said the official, who asked for anonymity to discuss sensitive talks. That plan would allow third parties to more easily purchase Russian crude oil at a low price set by Western nations.
Russia also may be trying to lock in replacement buyers for the oil it’s currently selling to Europe.
Indonesia’s minister of tourism, Sandiaga Uno, said in remarks he posted on Instagram over the weekend that Russia has offered to sell it oil “at a price that’s 30% lower than international market price.” He added that President Joko Widodo was considering the offer, “but there was disagreement. There are fears that we will be hit by US embargoes.””
Nope.
FYI: The country gaining territory in a war IS WINNING. Duh!
Kazan is the name of a city in RuZZia.
Is that where you live?
Dirty RuZZian.
Yep
“JUST IN: Biden’s new $3B military aid package to Ukraine will include six NASAMs air defenses, 245,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammo, 120mm mortars, 24 counter artillery radars & drones: DoD
The U.S. has now sent $13.5B in military aid to 🇺🇦 since Russia’s full scale invasion.”
Trouble is: according to one story they are taking this equipment not from stores, but from active US units, stripping them completely of needed weapons.
Thanks for posting!
“The US shipped out the most crude and refined-oil products in three decades as energy-starved economies increasingly turn to American supplies to stave off shortages.
More than 11 million barrels of crude and products such as diesel fuel left US ports on a daily basis last week for overseas markets, government data showed on Wednesday. That was the most in data going back to February 1991. “
“BREAKING: Britain says it will export 2,000 additional drones to Ukraine”
Dirty ZZPeedy.
That might not be in the current need or the "plan" but Russia may widen the war and then what will the US do?
Then the Russians have an insurmountable problem. They do not have anywhere near the power to take on Nato. Given their known losses and their struggles with Ukraine, they haven’t a hope even against Poland, backed as it will be by all Nato air and the USAF.
The real US killing power is in its air.
Besides that will take a very long time for the US to even begin to draw down its artillery reserves as it will take six months or more to get some substantial part of the US Army to where it can begin to use it.
In the meantime, the more Russian forces are destroyed by US artillery munitions, the better.
No fertilizer = marginally less food, at somewhat higher prices.
“The only solution is to restart coal fired power plants.”
Germany and China have both been big on that option. Both have also increased domestic coal mining. China has been off the hook this year, increasing coal production 25%.
The day before yesterday (22 Aug) Germany announced that they will restart another coal-fired power plant (Heyden 4), in response to Gazprom’s announcement of a three day halt in Nordstream at the end of this month.
“they (Russian Military) haven’t a hope even against Poland, backed as it will be by all Nato air and the USAF.”
That is true. Imagine them trying to extend supply lines deep into Poland (not that they would ever make it deep).
Still haven’t seen any “after” pictures of the Antonivsky Bridge. Have either of you?
NATO is a lot weaker militarily than you think my FRiend.
“2,000 additional drones to Ukraine”
I am thinking counter-battery.
I haven’t seen recent bridge pictures.
