The B-21 is one of the most significant U.S. military aviation programs in recent years, and its rollout is hotly anticipated.

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.

American Tanks For Ukraine Are ‘Absolutely On The Table’
There is already speculation about the possibility of U.S.-made M1 Abrams tanks heading to Ukraine, but there are other potential options.
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/american-tanks-for-ukraine-are-absolutely-on-the-table
Excerpt:
It is possible that older Abrams in U.S. military inventory could be sufficiently downgraded, with any sensitive fire control, communications, and other systems removed, to allow them to be ‘drawdown’ and more quickly sent to Ukraine.
Sending the M1128s to Ukraine could be made part of a larger push by the U.S. government to facilitate or otherwise promote the transfer of older tanks with NATO-standard 105mm guns to Ukraine.
Slovenia, which is a NATO member, announced today that it plans to transfer 28 M-55S tanks to Ukraine as part of a three-way deal that will see it receive 40 unspecified vehicles from Germany in exchange. The M-55Ss, also sometimes referred to as M-55S1s, are highly modified versions of the Soviet T-55 that received an upgrade package developed by Slovenian firm STO RAVNE in partnership with Israeli defense contractor Elbit in the 1990s.
The M-55s are armed with NATO-standard 105mm guns in place of the original 100mm D-10Ts, and have modernized fire control systems and optics, among other improvements, as well as the ability to be equipped with ERA. If this deal goes ahead, Ukraine will have to start receiving NATO-standard 105mm tank ammunition, as well.

Ukraine Just Captured Russia’s Most Advanced Operational Tank
The T-90M is the latest main battle tank to enter frontline Russian service, and one has now been captured by Ukrainian forces.
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/ukraine-just-captured-russias-most-advanced-operational-tank
Excerpt:
Among the features of the T-90M is an improved 2A46M-4 125mm smoothbore main gun in a modernized turret. This is complemented by an advanced remote weapon station, mounted on top of the turret. Photos from within the tank reveal interesting details of the sighting system, which is understood to be the all-new PNM-T.
The T-90M is also better protected than its predecessors, with advanced armor-protection and countermeasures capabilities. This includes Relikt built-in explosive reactive armor (ERA) designed to protect against shaped charges and to minimize the impact of armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) rounds.
The captured example is outfitted with distinctive Nakidka radar-absorbent material, or RAM, blankets. This is intended to provide another degree of defense against guided weapons, by reducing the infrared, thermal, and radar signatures of the vehicle. As well as being used to protect vehicles, Nakidka can also be used to camouflage field fortifications, ammunition dumps, and other objectives.

••Corruption In Ukraine:
It is systemic, endemic and that’s the biggest challenge for Ukraine and the biggest threat to Ukrainian independence, and what’s going to happen post-war with Ukraine.
Summary:
This is just one case of potentially many the Ukrainian national anti-corruption bureau discovered; these four people headed by Alexander Starukh were stealing all of the international help Ukrainian was getting for Zaporizhzhia region; they are located in the Zaporizhzhia region. He is ahead of the Zaporizhzhia Military Administration, the woman Zlata Nekrasova is his Deputy. then there is Anatoliy Kurtyev who is acting mayor of the Zaporizhzhia and also Victor Shcherbyna who is a member of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Parliament.
They stole 22 ocean shipping containers, 389 railroad box cars, 220 semi-trailer trucks, and they stole what 215,000 free meals out of 240,000 they were supposed to give out for free to displaced people and refugees from the war zone; each meal costed US$50.
This was discovered in a documented by national anti-corruption bureau of Ukraine and this was on August 30th as you can see and so this Alexander Starukh was appointed by Andrea Yermak, who we discussed quite extensively - you can look at the videos in June.
There is a strong suspicion that Andrea Yermak is really working for Russia: we showed all of the indirect evidence that point in that direction. He has a deputy Kiril Timoshenko, I guess a similar person because he hired Kiril Timoshenko because he probably wouldn’t hire him without him being loyal. Then they hired Alexander Starukh who was heading all of the the Zaporizhzhia Military Administration. Theft and such volume in such scale is not possible without higher ups knowing about it and without sharing with higher ups.
This was actually known by local police and they wanted to say there is no evidence, but local police were participating partners in crime. So they didn’t do anything. This scheme continued for at least six months, since end of March, when he actually returned to the Zaporizhzhia region from who knows where he was hiding at that time.
What happened next as the continuation of the story is on September 8-9, 2022 the regional attorney general decides to take this case away from the national anti-corruption bureau and reassign it to local police, which will do nothing and it will stay there and will die there: die without any chance of seeing day in the court.
Ukraine had new attorney general who was appointing early in July this year after and that person is a tall puppet of Andrea Yermak.
again so as you can see and then almost original attorney general is kind of response to the to the entire to the attorney general of entire Ukraine so this is you can see how its all basically in the system of power, there’s no checks and balances. Its very corrupted and illegally corrupted that’s I don’t even know what’s the right term, but the laws that were written in such a way to allow such such corruption that’s legal and you really cannot even say or do anything about it because that’s how the laws are written. They were written intentionally this way, not by accident, this is intentionally written so whoever gains the President title can reap the spoils of corruption from the entire country.
Its a built like a pyramid scheme where lower level officials are responsible for collecting corrupt tax, and passing portion of the tax higher up, and pocketing portion of it into their own pockets.
This is the system that’s being built its to be fair this is not that Andrea Yermak built it and Ukrainian president they inherited this being in Ukraine since 1991 and something similar is obviously in most most Soviet former Soviet countries with exception of the Baltic States probably the rest is more or less Russia has something very similar where its more like but in Russian Russia its more run by KGB or FSB and controlled versus in Ukraine its a little bit so different in terms of its a passing prize for whoever wins election that’s that’s that person will grab the spoils of this corrupt system.
That’s a big reason why Ukraine is was weak prey for the Russian aggression, why it was so exposed, and why Russia decided to invade is because this corrupt system wrote country from wizard and undermines its ability to simply sustain itself.
and so at this point this whole case it looks like its just simply gonna die off there is no mentioning over it in national media so everything is going to be fine and Alexander Starukh and his deputy all of these people engaged in that that were accused they continue in there continue their positions nothing is really happening and apparently nothing will happen so this is the again this is this is i’m sharing this not because not to help Russian propaganda, but
This is the problem in Ukraine that prevents Ukraine to be to defend itself against Russian aggression. That’s the whole point of it: if this doesn’t change and this cancer permeates everywhere, if it doesn’t change, Ukraine is not viable in the long term.
There are also connections which were established connections of Zlata Nekrasova, who was raising born in Russian. Its unknown how she appeared in Ukraine, how she got into power, because she was not known.
I think she was appointed in 2018, she was not public person, she out of blue showed up. There’s a lot of questions about like her background: what’s really going on there, there was some investigation, they established she visited a republic which is part of Russia which is run by Kaderov and she was met some higher level people there in 2015.
Just for those who don’t know you were in Ukraine started with Russia started really in 2014 when Russia invaded and and next Crimea in February 2014. so again normally people who pro Ukrainian they would not go to Russia in 2015 when there is a pretty much active phase of the war and meet with higher higher ups in Kadyrov power system basically because anyone at that time.
Kadyrov was strongly supporting and sending his own troops to support Russian aggression in Ukraine even at that time so and then there are also there is some evidence that a lot of what was stolen is actually was transferred to Russian occupied areas and where it went later is yet to be established and figured out.
There’s a quite a bit more depth, as I mentioned many times before, all of this corruption is usually very tightly connected to the KGB, Russian KGB and its desire to influence political outcomes and so on by the Russian FSB and KGB; it doesn’t look like much will happen here.
Military Situation:
Another topic (see Tank link bove) was announced today that Ukraine will get T-55s which has probably stands for modernized from Slovenia, 28 of this tanks the this tank and is is horrific hopefully it doesn’t get to the front line and hopefully Ukraine crewmen will refuse literally to go into the battle with it because this is a perfect tool for kamikaze. Its completely outdated even though it was slightly modernized, it has this reactive armor, there are some other smaller improvements with the sighting equipment, but it still remains a T-55, which is really implies that this is tank from the early 50s; its no match to T-64 or T-72 or T-90.
Unfortunately Ukraine becomes a dumping ground of old military junk that’s not needed anywhere, and its totally useless, its only gonna kill lives of Ukrainian soldiers.
Then good news, Ukraine is going to get 4 more Panzer-2000 SPGs from Germany making a total of 16. This is most advanced, the best artillery system that’s available in the world. This is makes Ukraine even stronger and Ukrainian SPG artillery becomes much stronger, much more capable - relative to Russian artillery long range artillery. The only problem is that three out of nine needed to be sent for repair to Lithuania do the maintenance on them.

Summary:
Small Ukrainian gains on Kherson bridgehead
villages Gredneve and Mala Seydymynukha near Davydid Brid were liberated.
Key areas:
- Oskil river area:
Ukrainian forces are attacking Lyman in full force, it will likely fall on Sep 20 or 21.
- North Donbass area: no changes.
- Central Donbass (Donetsk West): no changes.
- Zaporizhya: no changes.
- Kherson bridgehead:
Ukrainian forces improved bridgehead on the eastern side of Inhulets river by liberating villages Gredneve and Mala Seydymynukha.
North Kharkiv Region:
Russian forces are digging in along the border especially in Belogord region, it starts around Valuki and goes all the way to Kurst region; so that’s the hottest section of it.
North Luhansk’
Ukrainian troops managed to establish foothold or small bridgehead by liberating eastern Kupiansk. What this means is that Russian defensive line is breached on the eastern side of a Oskil River.
What’s going on around Lyman area is Ukrainian troops managed to push Russian troops out of two towns, maybe 4 towns. Ukrainian troops are getting out of this forested area and Russian troops are really slowly, but surely, losing the whole defensive line on the eastern side of the Oskil River.
There were reports that, probably as we speak, there is assault on Lymon from several sides; Russian forces will lose Lyman, if not on the 20th, then probably on the 21st. Everything makes us believe that this is lost battle for the Russian side and the retreat will continue. The front line along this on the eastern side of the Oskil River is severely damaged, and it cannot be defended successfully with the number of troops that Russia has.
At this point, the Russian side doesn’t have trained quality reserves, and they do assemble a consolidated patched units of some kind, like militarized police or volunteers, but this is not the same as highly trained airborne units or naval infantry units or even regular Russian military units.
It might will take some time but this whole North Luhansk area will be liberated by Ukrainian troops. This is again similar situation to Kherson had where, without throwing more troops by Russian side which they don’t have right now, this is going to be lost.
Other Areas - no real changes.
Something tells me these wars are nations just blown’ off steam. Kinda like tying-one-on. Tension builds up, the ante gets raised, and there’s no avoiding a conflict. It’s like taking a dump-cleanup afterwards. Unfortunately people get killed. It’s soon forgotten until the next set of circumstances build up.
Come to think of it that’s how sex works. Perhaps the solution to war is to have everyone engaged in sex on a regular basis-hetero or gay. The freedom to not engage is what causes wars. The uglies-what to do with them?
Not this war. This is not a border dispute or blowing off steam, this is part of a long-term strategic plan for raw materials, population, agriculture, technology, and ports.
Russia is reassembling what it needs to regain its ability to threaten the world again which is its natural state that Reagan temporarily/or permanently, depending largely on the results of this invasion, broke, and Ukraine has no steam it wants to blow off, it just wants to survive living close to an evil monster called Russia.

Looks like Little Pukin speech for tonight has been delayed.
What a beauty!
“Russian Senator Olga Kovitidi says “Kyiv attacks after the declaration of results of the referendums will be considered aggression against Russia””
This is so laughable. Like Ukraine cares! Keep killing RuZZians by the thousands every month.
