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

“Let me try to explain what’s wrong with the new wave of deployment of Russian troops in Belarus and why the threat of a new attack on Kyiv from the north is a bluff.
Last week Lukashenko announced the deployment of a joint Belarusian-Russian regional grouping of troops composed of Belarusian ground forces and several thousand Russian troops (Belarusian MoD later specified there would be 9,000 of them). 2/
The first trains with Russian troops have already started arriving in Belarus, and three important points should be made here. 1) Judging by the photographs, it is not regular Russian army units that arrive in Belarus, but freshly mobilised Russian reservists. 3/
2) Russian military trains don’t carry any heavy equipment - only trucks, petrol tankers and passenger cars with soldiers. 3) Russians are not being brought to the border with Ukraine like in January, but to training bases in northern Belarus. 4/
In other words, at this stage, we are almost certainly talking about the training of Russian reservists in Belarus, as all Russian ranges are overloaded. The Ukrainian military intelligence announced this back in late September (they estimated the nr of reservists to be 20k). 5/
According to the AFU joint forces command, as of early October, there were up to 1,000 Russian troops, 6 aircraft, 4 Iskanders and 12 S-400s in Belarus. In theory, the mobilised troops could reinforce this grouping after training, but there are several “buts”. 6/
First, the Russians, as I noted earlier, arrive without heavy equipment. The videos that have been circulating on Twitter in recent days, allegedly showing Russian tanks, APCs, and howitzers with ‘menacing new tactical markings’ arriving in Belarus aren’t real. 7/
Or rather, the videos are real, but they show trains of the Belarusian army. This can be easily determined by the blue passenger cars (Russia’s are grey) and the triangle-shaped tactical markings adopted by the Belarusian army in late Summer. 8/
Also, these Belarusian troops aren’t being deployed on the border with Ukraine, it’s just a rotation. Those brigades that have been reinforcing the border in recent months are returning to their bases, being replaced by fresh ones. The total number of troops remains the same. 9/
The Belarusian MoD said today that Russia plans to transfer 170 tanks to Belarus, but so far we see the opposite process. Without any statement last week alone, Belarus handed over at least 92 T-72A tanks and dozens of trucks to Russia. 10/
So if anything the Belarusian flank is being weakened rather than strengthened, and all Belarus can do is put on a good face and loudly announce that Ukraine should be scared. In recent days Lukashenko and his minions made a whole bunch of loud statements: 11/
About the deployment of a regional grouping of troops, pre-emptive strikes, partial mobilisation, issuing of weapons to firefighters, etc. Some of these statements aren’t even new, they were just repeated this week for greater effect. 12/
The main target audience of these statements is the West. For the first time in living memory, the Belarusian MoD has decided to communicate its actions also in English and Spanish. A stark contrast to February, when the attack was real and the Belarusian MoD was silent. 13/
The only real things we have so far are the arrival of Russian mobiks, the handover of >100 tanks and trucks to Russia and isolated “mobilisation readiness exercises” in some areas of Belarus, which look as pathetic as in Russia. Everything else is just hawkish rhetoric. 14/
And last but not least. The Belarusian-Ukrainian border is almost entirely covered by the impassable Polesie marshes, the largest wetlands in Europe. The few sections along the roads where the Russians attacked in February have been turned by Ukrainians into the Maginot Line. 15/
With minefields, echeloned defence, blown-up bridges, etc. An attack on them by the Belarusian-Russian grouping in its current state would be suicide which would likely result in Lukashenko’s political suicide. So no, there will be no attack from Belarus, at least for now. 16/16”

Ukraine war: Russian strikes prompt power cuts across country https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-63297239
Odd you don’t document US proxy-war equipment losses.
Without the 40,000,000,000 dollars and materiel and “advisors” we shipped over there, the war would have been over in three days.
Thanks for the ping!
Examine your statement for common sense -
Nobody on earth could have delivered $40 billion of equipment to Ukraine in three days. Engage brain, think before writing.
Please tell me how many more wars and how many more destroyed countries in Eastern Europe you want to see. Do you realize that if Russia isn’t stopped now it will attack other countries? Moldova, the Baltic states, possibly Poland. Russia wants to re-create the Russian empire. Why should more nations suffer for Russian megalomania? This is the best opportunity to stop the Russian imperialism in its tracks and show Russia that wars of conquest belong to the past.
Most photos/video of Ukrainian equipment losses would be coming from Russian sources.
So its the Russians own fault that they did not permit or enable the collection of photos.
Oryx does keep track of some Ukrainian losses, often using what Russian media is available. Go to their page and scroll down.
NATO has 2 SIGINT spy planes watching Kherson region right now. One of them has escort of 2 RAF fighters when flying over the Black Sea, First time I’ve seen fighter escorts for NATO spy planes over the Black Sea.
There are some new rumors today from a Kherson collaborator that Russians are preparing to fully retreat from Kherson region and back across the Dnipro river to set up stronger defense lines to protect Crimea.
You're the warmonger.
I hope you aren't at ground zero.
I want you to die of the radiation poisoning you want so badly.
This is not a Russia vs Ukraine war.
It is a US Deep State/Totalitarian Globalist Depopulationist Psychopath vs Sovereign Nation-State war.
We fomented a Ukraine revolution/coup in 2014, caused a civil war and sided with the neo-Nazis and Ukrainian nationalists that wanted to exterminate the ethnic Russian population.
We encouraged Ukraine to ignore the Minsk Agreement it signed that would have brought peace to the region.
We armed Ukraine with offensive weapons, teased NATO membership for Ukraine (Reagan and Gorbachev agreed on dismantling the eastern Soviet bloc on condition that we would not bring countries bordering Russia into NATO) and opened biological weapons labs there.
Then we built the Ukrainian army into the largest army in the NATO zone besides us, and massed it for deployment in the area of the Donbass in obvious preparation for an attack.
And finally, when Russia responded to all that, we claimed they invaded Ukraine for no good reason to annex territory.
Putin and the Russians are warmongers. They started this war and they are perfectly willing to use the Russian military to conquer other countries too.
Great News!!!
“Putin’s War Escalation Is Hastening Demographic Crash for Russia
Population is set for historic decline as fertility rate drops
Economy also at risk from migration outflows, aging workforce”
“President Vladimir Putin spent years racing against Russia’s demographic clock, only to order an invasion of Ukraine that’s consigning his country’s population to a historic decline.
Besides casualties in the thousands on the battlefield, the enlistment of 300,000 reservists to join the fight — and an even bigger flight of men abroad — is derailing Putin’s goals of starting to stabilize the population already this year.”
Putin is the warmonger. He could shove all 40 million Ukrainians into ovens and his supporters will seal clap right along.
Sing and Celebrate.
“Should military operations continue in the coming months, as expected, Russia may see less than 1.2 million births next year, the lowest in modern history, according to Igor Efremov, a researcher and specialist in demographics at the Gaidar Institute in Moscow. Total deaths in Russia average close to 2 million annually, though the number increased during the pandemic and approached 2.5 million last year.”
“The mobilization is upending families at perhaps the most fraught moment ever for Russian demographics, with the number of women of childbearing age down by about a third in the past decade. It’s also coinciding with one of the highest death rates in the world as well as a depleted and graying labor market, alongside immigration outflows and questions about Russia’s ability to attract workers from abroad.”
You have to understand that some people have quit and wish defeat on the west. They want our children to be ruled by Chinese Communists. Stupidly, they’ve chosen Putin’s corrupt and incompetent Russia as their vessel to achieve this goal. So they’re quite happy if all of Europe is destroyed. In fact they sit in the armchairs daily and rejoice in the rivers of misery and blood because the “globohomo” west deserves it.
