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.

Don’t start with the BS or does one need to show Ukies dropping sh*t on the ground and abandoning equipment?
“Local officials in the Kharkiv region say the Ukrainian flag has been raised in settlements close to the Russian border, confirming the continuing retreat of Russian forces in the area.
Oleksandr Kulik, an official in Derhachi northeast of the city of Kharkiv, said that the Ukrainian flag had been raised by local residents in the town of Kozacha Lopan.
Kozacha Lopan had been occupied by the Russians since March and was an administrative center for occupation authorities. It is five kilometers from the Russian border and has been extensively damaged during the conflict.
Social media video provided by the Derhachi city council also showed residents of another settlement — Tokarivka — raising the Ukrainian flag there. Tokarivka is also close to the Russian border.
Viktoriya Kolodochka, the head of the Tokarivka district, said Sunday: “The village was de-occupied this morning. People heard the roar of Russian military hardware. The Russians began to gather on their own in the morning and began to flee.”
Kolodochka, who is not in the town but maintains contacts there, told CNN by phone that the Russians had left a lot of ammunition behind.”

Russian Forces Flee Ukraine’s Kharkiv Offensive In Stunning Rout (Updated)
Russia confirms what is clearly a frantic withdrawal toward Donbas as Ukraine’s counteroffensive steamrolls deep into occupied territory.
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/russian-forces-flee-ukraines-kharkiv-offensive-in-stunning-rout
Excerpst:
Ukrainian troops have raised the flag over critical cities of Izyum, Lyman, and Kupiansk after nearly a week of gains with a mix of mechanized, special forces, and motorized troops punching through and overrunning Russian positions.
Estimates vary, but it’s believed Ukraine may have pushed as far as 70 kilometers into Russian-held territory. Ukrainian troops have likely undone much of Russia’s gains in the east since its second phase began in April.
The Russian Ministry of Defense acknowledged the retreat from the Izyum-Balakleya corridor but called it a “regroup to build up efforts in the Donetsk Direction.” If that sounds familiar, it’s a similar refrain to late March when Russia abandoned its failed campaign to take Kyiv in a “repositioning” to the eastern and southern fronts.
The regrouping/repositioning claim doesn’t hold water as the Russians left (or Ukrainians overran) incredible stockpiles of ammunition, equipment, and vehicles in their wake, leaving little if any for those forces to “regroup” with.
There are also reports that Ukraine has advanced as far forward as Lysychansk ... there are still unconfirmed reports that Ukrainian forces are fighting at the former Donetsk International Airport.
The shock of these gains certainly plays a factor here in terms of the RuAF’s lack of impact on the battlefield, but it remains stunning just how poorly Russian combat aviation forces have performed in this conflict.
———————————————————————————————————————
• •The Ukrainian Kup’yars’k offensive: it looks like it was not a complete victory; many Russian units managed to escape in the process. There are some units that were captured and become a prisoners of war, but majority of the units managed to escape.
Some equipment was captured by Ukrainian troops, but at the same time, it looks like the initial expectation that the majority of the Russian troops were going to be trapped there, is not materializing, at least that’s what we’re seeing so far.
The outcome is Ukrainian forces regain control of the whole area between the two rivers Silverski Donets River and Otskil. A whole chunk of territory was regained by Ukrainian troops. Russian command decided to withdraw troops back to to the Russian territory.
Its very similar to what happened in Kiev region and Suma region where Russian troops simply withdrew and there is just exchange to all this artillery fire along the state border. Something similar is going to be happening here between the two rivers; we do think Russian troops will try to maintain the buffer east of Kharkiv, simply because they want to cover Belogord.
Ukrainian losses were extremely low to absolutely minimal, as low as it gets, which was also on the positive side of the south of this operation. Also it boosted morale of the troops in the country, as a whole, tremendously.
The morale on the Russian side is extremely low; there is open discussion that many regular Russian units are capable of only defensive operations and to a limited extent.
Their mood is extremely down. At the same time, Russian command managed to keep the backbone of those units intact, which gives the another opportunity to continue the fight. Its a lost lost battle, but not a lost war. Also Russian command realizes, at this point, given the whole situation, retreat was the best move they could they could do.
All of those units that withdrew lacked equipment, are demoralized and so on. Its unclear if Russian troops have enough resources to defend along the Otskil River and then along the Silverski Donets River.
Its very clear that Ukrainian Command will try to exploit this weakness and continue attacking to liberate the northern part, the area north of the Silverski Donets Rivers.
The big goal is always to liberate the entire of the country; this looks the operation has been completed. It remains to be seen if there is a phase two or phase three is gonna be successful.
Kharkiv Frontline things here were relatively quiet which is obviously understandable giving the whole situation. Russian troops are withdrawing from the area between the rivers, between Silverski Donets River and Otskil River. Ukrainian 113th managed to advance and regain Valvkyi Burluk.
Russian troops evacuating will be digging in along the state border. on others on the Russian territory because they for example evacuating from Vovchans’k on the border; The UA will reach the state by the end of the 11th. There’s no real fighting; its just Ukrainian troops clearing up the the whole area.
here now let’s move South a little bit let’s kind of have a final look at the
Izyum Bridgehead which we’ve been talking about for probably since about March 9 of March 10 that’s when it started. For now its gone for a long time. Russian troops, some got trapped, but it’s unclear like how many.
There is a good amount of equipment, ammunition left behind. We’ll probably find out a little bit more on what troops were left behind and trapped in the coming days. So far it does look like the bulk of Russian troops managed to escape, that’s just an initial assessment - could be wrong.
Ukrainian troops are moving north from Kup’yars’k; it is unclear to us if there are Russian troops in Sen’kove and Borava. On the east side of the Otski and the whole area, there is a big question mark right now; an unclear situation to us.
To the east, Ukrainian command is trying to exploit all of the situation and trying to create a bridgehead on the eastern side of the Silverski Donets River, which they did, a tiny bridgehead. Ukrainian troops controls 3 villages and they are on outskirts of Lyman.
There is a fighting going on that’s been fighting going on all day. Remains to be seen if Russian troops have enough supplies to stem the tide, because there is a good number of Ukrainian brigades are freeing up that could be thrown here to expand this bridgehead, while the Russian units are demoralized. They have extremely low fighting capability, and we even question if they could could do any defensive action at this point.
There is a great opportunity for the Ukrainian command to continue pushing in all of these directions
so this is a high level which what we showed yesterday this is
The big plan was for Ukrainian troops to complete the encirclement by advancing from this from the bridgehead near Lyman in two directions; the one goes to Svatove and also probably something towards Kreminna and eventually attacking Rubizhne from the rear.
This could crumble the whole Russian front line in this area, so this definitely extremely fruitful, if Ukrainian command has resources and can can continue offensive from this Lyman. This could really opens up another window of opportunity, opportunity to liberate the Ukrainian land, if there are enough resources.
Ukrainian troops are slowly advancing; Ukrainian troops got, at least for today, bogged down in Lyman. They didn’t manage to gain full control of Lyman.
There is tremendous opportunities opening up here because, if Ukrainian command has resources to continue attacking, then out of this bridgehead, they can liberate this whole northern area, north of the Silverski Donets River.
———————————————————————————————————————
Summary:
Ukrainian advances on the Kherson bridgehead stalled.
Ukrainian command launched offensive with ultimate objective - Kupyansk.
Day 5 of the offensive.
The offensive is essentially over, at least immediate objective Kupyansk has been reached.
Key areas:
- Siverskyy Donetsk-Oskil river area:
Ukrainian troops are clearing up all area between two rivers.
Russian command decided to withdraw troops from the area between two rivers.
Russian troops are evacuating Vovchansk.
Ukrainian troops are attempting to create bridgehead near Lyman, but so far are not successful in liberating the town.
It appears that majority of Russian troops managed to escape from the pocket around Izyum that was being formed by Ukrainian forces.
- Izyum bridgehead:
Russian troops evacuated bridgehead
- North Donbass area: no changes
- Donetsk West: no changes.
- Kherson bridgehead: no changes.
3. North Donbas:
••Lots of Ukrainian propaganda claiming they captured the International airport. It does not help anyone. This is Ukrainian propaganda working against Ukrainian citizens, and this is, in a way treason, in our view
5. Vugledar - Velyka Novosilka, Gulyapole: No changes.
••Russian resources report that Ukrainian troops are accumulating in Vugledar area; that seems to be a scare offensive, given the negative experiences the Russians just had; I’m somewhat skeptical that Ukrainian command will attack out of the dark giving that it’s fully engaged on the Kherson bridgehead.
6. Kherson bridgehead:
••Kherson Bridgehead the last area things here are more or less stable. It’s very clear Ukrainians already regrouping and preparing to pressure Russian troops in the future, but for now things are relatively quiet.
We haven’t heard of any attacks of the ferries; bridges are out of action at this point. The only question is Ukrainian command is still successfully suppressing ferries and pontoon bridges? Ukrainian command was able to successfully hit the ferry there and actually a couple of ferries. We don’t have any updates if this continues.
Nothing has really changed in days because there are Airborne and special forces operating there - they are not the push overs that regular troops are. Also not much info has been released from that front.
From PIF’s report today:
“Ukrainian losses were extremely low to absolutely minimal, as low as it gets”
That seems to be the consensus.
Seems to be the consensus.
Consensus of what exactly, the overwhelming propaganda spewing Western/UK/US/EU/NATO media which inherently removes 75% of the world’s other media reporting outlets?
Yeah, okie dokie to ‘consensus.’
Go have a glass of vodka. Its 6:38pm in Moscow.
11:39am at my house bruh.
Just letting you know.
The larger Russian Brigade formation has 2 battalions of tanks or about 60 total.
Consensus of what exactly, the overwhelming propaganda spewing Western/UK/US/EU/NATO media which inherently removes 75% of the world’s other media reporting outlets?Here is cranked* posting links to Washington Post, CNN and Reuters when it suits him:
https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4092051/posts?page=34#34*Crank is a pejorative term used for a person who holds an unshakable belief that most of their contemporaries consider to be false.[1] Common synonyms for crank include crackpot and kook. A crank belief is so wildly at variance with those commonly held that it is considered ludicrous. Cranks characteristically dismiss all evidence or arguments which contradict their own unconventional beliefs, making any rational debate a futile task and rendering them impervious to facts, evidence, and rational inference.

Oh, my shadow has shown up.
Just got home from collecting fire wood, yeah?
Got a CNN link you want to share crank?
How much fire wood did you collect today?
What did propaganda spewing Western/UK/US/EU/NATO Washington post publish today that we should know about crank?
Dude, I read that even the ancient forests in Germany are not safe anymore cause they now being infested with people cutting them down to use for fire wood this coming Winter.
The new cornerstone of Germany’s green energy strategy to combat evil and bad Putin: burning wood to stay warm.
Help me out here.
“ there are Airborne and special forces operating there (Kherson) - they are not the push overs that regular troops are.”
Best not to go toe to toe with them. Let the Artillery do the job, as long as it takes.
Just having them bottled up and starved for resupply is an Operational success.
The RuZZians manning the trenches in winter are in for a long cold few months. They don’t want to really be there.
Ukrainian troops, on the other hand, are fighting for their land, families and freedom.
You can easily expect 1/2 of the RuZZians to not renew their contracts when they expire. Contracts are usually 3-6 months.
