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.

Weakness is relative, Nazi supporter.
Situation on the ground is fluid and has been fluid for a few days.
Ukraine takes a village only to have the Russian retake it hours later. See how this works?
“Situation on the ground is fluid and has been fluid”
= Ukraine winning!
There is not PANIC!!!
Dmitry Peskov came out on 4 September, and said that Russia is ready for negotiations - but no one gives a damn.
It’s Clobberin’ time!
Straight up propaganda.
Latest from August 22:

Most likely not a retreat, rather the troops were pulled to Kherson region and they left the 37th B or screening troops to hold the line.
The 38th was just pulled. Both of those are just remnants of what they once were after the Kiev debacle.
Weakness is relative, Nazi supporter.

And is amply demonstrated by your use of the N word.
‘N’ word.
Dude, where I live at, the ‘N’ word means something else.
A Nazi on the other hand, is just that, a Nazi.
Suppose when you take a sh*t, you call it taking an ‘S’ huh?
“Latest from August 22:”
Actually, the September 4th statement from Peskov (asking for negotiations) is more current.
August 30th they had a Kremlin briefing on the economic effects to anticipate. Bottom Line: Worse than the 1990’s, after the Soviet Union fell.
Of course, propagandist.

Where is the headlined “attack on Europe”? Don’t tell us it’s the self-inflicted gas cutoff — because the article is talking about weapons.
You don’t know where Europe is?
“Russia is losing tanks,”
RuZZis is losing thousands dead every month.
Fixed it for you.
“Interestingly, Russian news agencies report that Spetsnaz units of the Russian Armed Forces have been encircled in Balakliya by Ukrainian fighters and that by tomorrow, Ukrainian troops will enter the city.”

We’re they not on the outskirts of kiev?
On the outskirts of Kiev with only 40,000 soldiers, which would be an insufficient number to conquer a city of that size if it was truly deadset on defense.
It was a contingency move in two senses: on one hand, it was a repeat of a strategy that had worked with Georgia in 2008 and Crimea in 2014, where a brief show of force by the Russian military was enough to cow their political opponents. However, on the other hand, it was a distraction to draw Ukrainian armed forces away from the east, where the battle lines were drawn and Russian forces were intent on setting up operational zones (complete with supply lines and so forth) alongside the DPR and LPR.
As it turned out, after 8+ years of US/UK/NATO training and armament, Ukraine decided not to fold politically. As such, cowing them into surrender failed.
However, it still succeeded on a diversionary basis by pulling enough Ukrainian forces from the east for just long enough for Russia to establish a proverbial beachhead in the Donbass, where the majority of Ukrainian fortifications had been placed in the 8 years since the annexation of Crimea.
Yes I believe it could have been a faint but the lost a lot of equipment and performed it quite stupidly sending in armor without much infantry support. So it worked I guess but in true Russian fashion loses don’t matter. Still not sure about your analysis as I think there is some truth to the fact they though Ukrainians would fold and surrender. But good news putin tells the world they have lost nothing. A lot of Russian moms just might disagree
