Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine

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

"1,100 Phoenix Ghost Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems" Reportedly, the Russians are having some success with their Lancet-3 loitering munition.

"Made by a subsidiary of the Kalashnikov concern, the Lancet 3 weighs about thirty pounds, and has a distinctive profile thanks to its X-shaped wings. The weapon used is claimed to be a new, upgraded version of the Lancet-3 with an eleven-pound warhead compared to the original seven-pound one, and is distinguished by the larger wingspan." (https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2022/11/04/russian-videos-reveal-new-details-of-loitering-munitions/?sh=7a76ffb75dbc )

Early version (smaller warhead):

Looks like a reverse engineered Israeli "Hero" loitering munition:

"Lancet has a shaped-charge warhead, a type that focuses its energy into a narrow, armor-piercing jet, which is highly visible in many of the strikes, passing right through the target and out the other side. This enables it to attack even heavily-armored targets like tanks. However, it is not powerful enough to go through a tank’s frontal armor."...

"in several of the videos, soldiers on the ground scatter in the seconds before the Lancet strikes. This suggests that it is highly audible or visible or both, and alert troops can get out of the way. They might also shoot it down – the Ukrainians claim to have brought down a number of Lancets with just small arms fire."...

"The nearest equivalent to the Lancet-3 on the Ukrainian side are probably the Phoenix Ghost provided by the U.S. along with the Warmate supplied by Poland; the smaller Switchblade-300 is mainly an antipersonnel weapon and the Switchblade-600 is yet to arrive."

1h
Russian occupation in Kherson City has declared a 24h curfew.

[marcusmaximus]

Putin planning some nonsense at the Belarus / Poland / Ukraine border if Kherson heats up again tomorrow morning. USAF SIGINT spy plane watching and sharing intelligence.

Separately, lots of NATO SIGINT spy planes watching Kherson region over the past 24 hours. Ukraine typically launches their major offensives on Saturday mornings after our spy planes leave...

“BURN RATE: UKR sources report that RU troop losses in the last six days amount to nearly 5,000 killed, and thousands more wounded.”

I hesitate to call it human wave attacks, because they have vehicles and Artillery support, but there is some similarity in the new tactics that Russian forces in the East have adopted, of just flooding the zone with bodies, at huge cost of their lives.

This approach, and the withdrawal around Kherson, are the hallmarks of the Surovikin era. One or both of them will likely get him fired before Christmas. Start warming up the new guy.

“Russian occupation in Kherson City has declared a 24h curfew.”

@bayraktar_1love
The information was not confirmed, nothing is changing.
Russian-appointed imbecile/“deputy head” of the Kherson administration, who was the first to publish a video with the message that there will be a round-the-clock curfew, deleted his statement.

[PIF]

Looks like at the rate of 5K 200rds and likely 15k 300rds, that the entire batch of mobnicks will be used up in the next 15 days ...

“A Russian source says that more Russian naval infantrymen were killed over two days assaulting a town (Pavlivka) than died during the first Chechen War”

Ukrainian forces are in full control of Pavlivka after successful counterattacks.

Ukrainian Gunboat Struck By Russian Lancet Loitering Munition
The Gyurza-M class patrol boat, one of just seven Ukraine built, is seen being struck by a Lancet in a newly surfaced video.

Excerpt:
The exact date and location of the apparent strike, as well as the condition of the boat, are unknown at this moment. It is thought that a number of these ships, possibly four of the seven built, have been captured by Russia so we could be seeing them using one of them 'for target practice' as part of a propaganda play. Whether it's that or a true combat loss, one of these ships has been badly damaged if not destroyed.

In the long run it will. Look at what we are spending now on Ukraine because of the Russian oil wealth we created.

[ckilmer]

The election next week in the USA will have major consequences for Ukraine. The republicans are likely to win by a landslide. When they take control of the US congress next year—they won’t be interested in funding the Ukraine.

The best that can be hoped for from the USA is that in December—the biden administration and the current congress will allocate enough funding to last through 2023.

Beyond that, europe will have to pick up the slack. Will that happen? We’ll see. Personally I’d like to see Norway pitch in some cash from their sovereign wealth fund.

The republicans are likely to win by a landslide. When they take control of the US congress next year—they won’t be interested in funding the Ukraine.

That remains to be seen to what degree. The Ukrainians sure have proved they are worthy of funding. At this point that is an important achievement in the war.

“The destroyed road spans of the Crimean bridge have now been dismantled.”

[PIF]

In the long run it will.

Exactly how will a world shortage of 1-3 million barrels help in the long run? The rest of your comment is undecipherable.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Exactly how will a world shortage of 1-3 million barrels help in the long run?

Because in the long run countries will find other sources, obviously.

The rest of your comment is undecipherable.

Let me help you "decipher" a single sentence that is too complex for you PIF:

Look at what we are spending now on Ukraine because of the Russian oil wealth we created.

Handing your milk money to the bully in your kindergarten class is never a good idea.

[ckilmer]

Agree the Ukes have shown themselves to be fighters.

Agree too, that what happens next remains to be seen.

imho ukes need to learn how to fight this war on the cheap.

best way to do that is arm every uke soldier with his own personal drone— so they can take russian soldiers out in detail in their trenches a couple miles away.

“Looks like at the rate of 5K 200rds and likely 15k 300rds, that the entire batch of mobnicks will be used up in the next 15 days ...”

Only a percentage of them are mobniks, although there are probably a lot, when the numbers are so high. So yeah, they are being stacked like cordwood.

Historically, they used a lot of the LDR/DPR militias around there, and more recently lots of convicts through the Wagner front group. Reportedly, the average life expectancy of convicts serving with Wagner is only nine days - every day they are sent on an assault. Some regular Russian Military are fighting there as well, like that Naval Infantry.

I heard that they are still conducting ongoing recruitment/mobilization activities, just calling it something different, and likely just not as many as fast. One example, is a program that started 1 November, just after “mobilization” was “suspended”, of impressing ethnic Crimean Tartars into the Military (a bit of continued ethnic cleansing of Crimea).

And because of what Ukraine has shown, Netherlands today:

“The republicans are likely to win by a landslide. When they take control of the US congress next year—they won’t be interested in funding the Ukraine.”

That has been the electoral messaging of Left of Center political parties in the West, about the Right of Center Parties - but it has not proven out in practice in the UK, in Sweden, or in Italy, where similar claims were made.

It is likely promoted by some degree by Russian information campaigns as well, to create the impression of, or to foster, political divisions in the West over the funding of the Ukrainian war effort. Ending Western support for the Ukraine and lifting sanctions against Russia are their main objectives.

There is very strong bipartisan support in Congress for continuing support to the Ukraine. The only significant difference was McCarthy’s recent demand that weapons transfers be accounted for.
