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.

Did you see this?
Putin destroyed his country with a delusional quest to recreate a superpower. Rot in hell, asshole.
Yes I read it but is it verified or not?
Very bad if true.
“No longer are huge columns of trucks, tanks,”
Lost too many tanks for that approach...
“Have we given the equivalent of Russia’s annual military budget of 67 billion yet? “
US military aid at $13.5 billion now. So a long way to get to $67B.
$13.5 billion in military aid. Such a small amount to demilitarize RuZZia.
They have 100k of casualties. Lost 1000 tanks out of 2800. All for a small amount of US taxpayer dollars.
Thanks for the links.
But the twit people have “age restricted” these tweets and want me to log in to see them.
So I will pass.
They ban Republican but “age restrict” war porn?
I boycotted twitter for a long time. I finally gave in and created an account.
Increasing military will hurt their economy.... Its all going strictly according to plan.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree to increase the size of the Russian military from 1.9 million to 2.04 million, an announcement on its government web portal said, as the war in Ukraine passes its six-month mark.
The order will be effective January 1 and will see a rise in combat personnel of 137,000 to 1.15 million.”
Speedy Bagdad Bob,
Have any of these glorious victories led to recovering any former Uke territory?
Led to recovery of the$1 trillion in lost mineral and energy resources?
Why?
Maybe another Daily Mail article will lead to victory
Different sort of warfare - one is mobile used earlier and the other is static with artillery.
Hello Freepers
Been awhile forgot my password finally contacted Jim directly and got a reply quickly. For back ground I retired from the Air Force last July with almost 40 years. In that time I have been many places some great some not so good but it was an honor and I would do it again. Speedy is there any way to post the loses other than just tanks. The lose of other vehicles and weapons systems such as planes radar units artillery in my mind are just a significant or more significant than tanks and indicate different kinds of degrading of combat effectiveness. Now a general comment on this ongoing thread. First Russia is the aggressor so what ever they wrought they deserve. Is Ukraine some kind of democratic bastion of good, no but ceding territory to Russia I don’t agree with. Do I think Ukraine comes out whole and on top after this is all over? No I do not it is numbers but I also believe Russia will not either and have been bloodied far more than they anticipated and shown that as a military they may barely be #1 in a 2 way race and when it comes to ranking in the world after what I consider to be a disastrous showing I wouldn’t but them in the top 10 in the region. Was this all a waste? Absolutely and despite the Biden weak position before the war the blame falls squarely on Putin
“Have any of these glorious victories led to recovering any former Uke territory”
Yes, did you not see Kyiv surrounding areas have been liberated.
I did not know they were taken...
Look up a city called Bucha
Good comments. Thanks for the air force service.
If you haven’t been on FR in a while, what you will find is that some RuZZian nationals are here pushing a pro-kremlin line. You will recognize them eventually.
Others are Americans who support RuZZia because of some concept of Ukraine corruption, ‘deep state’, Trump, LGBTQ, etc.
I use tanks for daily summary because it is convenient. Can’t use KIA/MIA because we don’t get those on a daily basis, or even accurate numbers.

“Ukrainian forces hit Antonivsky bridge near Kherson again... that Russian forces are not currently trying to use”
Force of habit?
Lol speedy
I have been following it all. As a friend of mine likes to say opinions are like butts we all have one and they all stink myself included. I have no illusions about Ukraine or zelenski. It would be hard to decide which side is more corrupt. Putins virtue signaling about Christianity is disproved by his actions. The whole Biden Kerry Romney…… connection to Ukraine shows what kind of characters they are but Russia invaded and the Ukrainians are fighting. I guess England should have quit after dunkirk…. I wonder(not really) what our countryman would do if invaded well I guess I know that by what is already happening on our borders. I guess I should have said hard to tell who is more corrupt Russia Ukraine or US.
Carl Gustavs are non-standard equipment in the US Arsenal that Special Operations Forces like. They get anything they want (which I am totally in favor of).
Yes, they are nice and flexible, but they can be instantly substituted with other available weapons.
Because they are non-standard, there is not a big wartime inventory of them stockpiled, to draw from, as there is for most of the other aid. Its a special case.
