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

Increased Production....
“Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur told me Lockheed Martin promised “they have increased the production” on HIMARS and “confirmed that there is a slot for Estonia,” which ordered 6 HIMARS in July. Lockheed has orders in the works for Ukraine, Poland and others”

“Ukrainian forces destroyed a Russian T-80BVM tank in #Donetsk Oblast- apparently stranded or abandoned.”

The missile has a range of up to 4,500 kilometers and a conventional warhead of 880 pounds of HE.
Here's a pic of the missile:
Let’s hope the rumors come true.
Harmless Russian Kh-101 ALCM minding its own business carrying 880lbs of cookies for children and refugees across new Uko-Russa territory until Deep State - Soros - Globohomoist Apartment Complex attack it and blow it up. Now all cookies are gone and children sad.

RuZZian woman
Stay away from me
RuZZian woman
Mama, let me be
Don’t come hangin’ ‘round my door
I don’t wanna see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin’ old with you
Now woman, stay away
RuZZian woman, listen what I say
RuZZian woman
Get away from me
RuZZian woman
Mama, let me be
Don’t come knockin’ ‘round my door
I don’t wanna see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now woman, get away
RuZZian woman, listen what I say
RuZZian woman
I said, get away
RuZZian woman
Listen what I say
Don’t come hangin’ ‘round my door
Don’t want to see your face no more
I don’t need your war machines
I don’t need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now woman, get away
RuZZian woman, listen what I say
RuZZian woman
Stay away from me
RuZZian woman
Mama, let me be
I gotta go, I gotta get away
Babe, I gotta go, I wanna fly away
I’m gonna leave you, woman
I’m gonna leave you, woman
I’m gonna leave you, woman
I’m gonna leave you, woman
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye
(RuZZian woman) You’re no good for me and I’m no good for you
(RuZZian woman) I look you right straight in the eye
I tell you what I’m gonna do
(RuZZian woman) I’m gonna leave you woman, you know I gotta go
(RuZZian woman) I’m gonna leave you woman, I gotta go
(RuZZian woman) I gotta go
I gotta go, RuZZian woman
Yeah
What a simplistic and twisted view of the world! Where do you draw the line? What crimes must your nation state commit so that you would withdraw your support? Apparently, in your view, being a nation state is a license to be despotic, to kill tens (or perhaps hundreds) of thousands of people, to conquer and destroy neighboring nations. This is what Russia is doing or attempting to do now.
Russia has nothing in common with Western civilization. It has always been a despotic country. The fact that the Russian government happens to oppose LGBT+@#$%^&* insanity is purely accidental. If one day the Russian government decided to support it, the docile Russian population would accept it because they aren’t used to question what the government does. Moreover, Russia is an economic dwarf. Its influence doesn’t reach beyond its closest neighborhood and even its neighbors in Central Asia don’t want to be Russian lackeys anymore. Russia is an epitome of poverty and despotism. Who likes poverty and despotism? Only a despot himself or a serf who likes being a serf.
The fight against LGBT+@#$%^&* insanity must be fought and won within our civilization.
By the way, it seems to me that you emphasize the nation state way too much. The values of Western civilization are the key. If those values are kept / reborn, the proper state form will follow.
Do you really believe that conservative thinkers such as C. S. Lewis would support the Russian despotism and imperialism? C. S. Lewis wrote:
“I am a democrat because I believe in the Fall of Man. I think most people are democrats for the opposite reason. A great deal of democratic enthusiasm descends from the ideas of people like Rousseau [from the Enlightenment], who believed in democracy because they thought mankind so wise and good that everyone deserved a share in the government. The danger of defending democracy on those grounds is that they’re not true. And whenever their weakness is exposed, the people who prefer tyranny make capital out of the exposure. I find that they’re not true without looking further than myself. I don’t deserve a share in governing a hen-roost, much less a nation. Nor do most people—all the people who believe advertisements, and think in catchwords and spread rumours. The real reason for democracy is just the reverse. Mankind is so fallen that no man can be trusted with unchecked power over his fellows. Aristotle said that some people were only fit to be slaves. I do not contradict him. But I reject slavery because I see no men fit to be masters.” (Present Concerns, 21)

The American Founding Fathers also believed that the system of checks and balances is necessary because human nature is flawed. You, on the other hand, seem to believe that unchecked power in Russia is perfectly OK and should be spread further.
I don’t quite understand how someone who loves the US Constitution and the vision of the Founding Fathers can support Russian despotism. The Founding Fathers wrote that the system of checks and balances is necessary due to flawed human nature (=no one can be trusted with unchecked power).
C. S. Lewis expressed similar thoughts: “I am a democrat because I believe in the Fall of Man. ... Mankind is so fallen that no man can be trusted with unchecked power over his fellows. Aristotle said that some people were only fit to be slaves. I do not contradict him. But I reject slavery because I see no men fit to be masters.”
Does E. Pluribus Unum somehow believe that human nature isn’t flawed in Russia? Isn’t it a basic Christian concept? Does he believe that the Founding Fathers were wrong about human nature? He is so contradictory...
You can take your straw man and shove him where the cheesy puffs come out.
No WiU until late today, if at all, due to immediate concerns.
Just nasty.
I'd say the same if a so-called globohomo said that about a so-called Putin Puffer.
You hurt Free Republic with outrageous statements like this.
“Wind and solar power have made up a record 24% of the European Union’s electricity mix since Russia launched its war on Ukraine, a new report says, a boost that has also helped the bloc battle soaring inflation.
The growth in renewable power capacity has saved the 27-nation bloc €99 billion ($97 billion) in avoided gas imports between March and September, which is €11 billion ($10.8 billion) more when compared with the same period from last year, according to the report published by climate think tanks E3G and Ember.
The boost in renewables comes as Europe tries to wean itself off Russian gas, as Moscow reduces, even cuts off, European nations’ energy supplies to gain leverage in the conflict. The war has forced the the EU to confront its costly dependence on Russian gas, which in 2020 accounted for 41% of the EU’s imports of the fossil fuel.”
Nice arguments. You must be so proud of yourself. You know everything. The Founding Fathers and C. S. Lewis should bow before you. What did they know?
And some people are surprised that if a typical supporter of President Trump is portrayed like you seem to be behaving, some voters may have second thoughts about President Trump. But you probably believe that President Trump has a bazillion supporters so he can afford to lose many millions of voters.
LOL. That one left a mark.
“(SOF) took out a Russian BMP with an ATGM strike in the vicinity of Avdiivka, #Donetsk Oblast.”
It is just about six months now, that Russia has been attempting to assault around Avdiivka.
Shut up and go away like a good little Soros stooge.
Russian general Surovikin hinting at making a goodwill gesture and retreating from right bank Kherson region and Kherson city in interview today.
US only sent 20 HIMARs to Ukraine. And can produce 96 annually. Won’t be any shortage.
How many has RuZZia destroyed? Zero, 0, none.
“Lockheed Martin CEO Jim Taiclet says the company has met with its long-lead supply chain to increase HIMARS production to 96 units annually.
“We advanced funded ahead of contract, $65 million to shorten the manufacturing lead time and that was without a contract.””
