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.

Based on the graphic depiction, I would guess these are S-300 missiles converted to ground attack mode.
From the graphic: UKR is reported to have interdicted four cruise missiles across all axes of contact.
I would guess these are ALCMs. I wonder why so few?
From the graphic: UKR is reported to have interdicted five Shahed-136 attack drones across all axes of contact.
I wonder how many were fired and what percentage were shot down.
I would guess that UKR is withholding a lot of information based on OPSEC considerations.
PM sent.

“The selloff in oil continued on Friday, with WTI prices falling more than 5% as China reportedly asked the Saudis to ship less crude in December.” (WTI dropped below $80 today for the first time in about two months)
“Norway Platform Blaze Stokes Fears of Lower Supply. Production from the semi-submersible Asgard B platform that is operated by Equinor (NYSE:EQNR) in Norway’s continental shelf remains shut in after a fire broke out there last Sunday, cutting some 7% from the country’s 300 MMcmd of gas exports.”
“Returning Nuclear Cool French LNG Appetite. Following a year of reactor shutdowns and labor strikes, slowly returning French nuclear power generation, jumping 11% month-on-month in October to almost 40 TWh, has triggered a marked slowdown in French buying of LNG from the market.”
“SPR Caverns Need a Revamp. The White House asked Congress for $500 million to modernize the salt caverns that hold strategic petroleum stocks in the U.S., located across the Texas and Louisiana coasts, as SPR oil movements corrode the steel pumps and equipment due to the salts involved.”

In two months, the number of prisoners in men’s colonies in Russia has decreased by a record 23,000 people. This is happening at the same time as the recruitment of Russian prisoners into the “Wagner Group” is taking place

"Map of Ukrainian railway system for better understanding of importance of Ilovaisk railway station (green circle) in Russian logistics." (It is where supplies from Southern Russia - The Black Sea ports, Rostov, Taganrog, etc. - join into the Ukrainian rail network. It is like the Corps Support Area for the Donetsk Front)
Here's a couple of pictures from post #11.
I'm predicting a couple more green circles will appear on the map in the next couple of days.
Um Kazan,
Moon of Alabama crap.
“According to Russia’s Mash telegram channel, Ukrainian naval drones attacked the Sheskharis oil hub in Novorossiysk.”
Sweet.
UA needs to build drones capable of hitting Moscow. Force RuZZia to pull SAMs out of Ukraine and back to protect Moscow.
“I’d rather this energy be devoted top documenting where all of our billions of dollars went.”
Where did our taxpayer dollars go? Just look at the 8000 pieces of RuZZian equipment ORYX has cataloged as destroyed / captured. Look at the 150,000 RuZZian casualties.
That shows where our taxpayer dollars went. And to a cause much better than income redistribution in DC.
I’m sure that enriches your life somehow.
“At current levels of production, the US has about 14 years of nat gas remaining in high confidence reserves. This can be seen in the BP World Statistical Report.
US Consumption is about 80% of production and the rest exported. That 20% would buy time.
We should not be exporting gas until there are, assuming there ever are, new discoveries.”
There are new discoveries every year. Look at the graph of US reserves 1985-2020: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/natural-gas/how-much-gas-is-left.php
US reserves have doubled over that 35 year time period EVEN with continued consumption every year.
US “technically recoverable resources (TRR)” is 2,867 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of TRR of dry natural gas.
“In 2021, the United States consumed about 30.28 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas.”
So 2,867 would be enough for nearly 100 years.
“I’m sure that enriches your life somehow.”
When 1 of our 2 largest enemies is being destroyed with no loss of American lives, I am enriched.
Now if Taiwan can demilitarize China’s military, we will be all set.
RuZZian losses cross 8000 for first time.
Russia - 8022, of which: destroyed: 4913, damaged: 198, abandoned: 300, captured: 2611
Ukraine - 2271, of which: destroyed: 1355, damaged: 91, abandoned: 63, captured: 762
Tanks at 1499. Looking for 1500 tomorrow. The Monk in me likes those round numbers.
Tanks (1499, of which destroyed: 858, damaged: 64, abandoned: 56, captured: 521)
You do not understand the difference between resources and reserves. Go do some reading. It is easy to miss when reporters throw together articles.
And try to think in Trillion Cubic Meters. That’s how the world operates and it’s the only way to have a meaningful comparison to other countries. US reserves are 12 Trillion Cubic Meters. Russia 37. Iran 32. Qatar 25. Turkmenistan 13.6.
The World Statistical Report is published every June by BP. You can download it in spreadsheet form (free) from there. It is quite large. The BP standard for reserves is published on the spreadsheet. It’s not a competition. They will use the same sources EIA uses.
There are always Undiscovered Reserves. They are usually expected. The graph you’re celebrating is because of shale. Not shale gas. Shale oil. Gas is a byproduct. Until there was 0% interest rates, shale oil could not be produced and thus, the gas associated with it could not be called part of 1P or 2P Reserves.
This is all unconventional thinking. Meaning, it’s gas coming from unconventional drilling (fracking for oil). There IS fracking that produces gas and no oil, but only wet gas. NGLs. Natural Gas Liquids. Those are priced high enough to bother with the effort, and thus gas in gaseous form flows.
If you look at the spreadsheet, or your graph, you’ll see that US gas reserves in 2003 were 5.1 Trillion cubic meters. They doubled plus a bit more to 12ish over 20 yrs, and the big jump was 2016 when various rules allowed gas captured from fracked oil wells to be incorporated with reserves definition.
It’s important to understand that this stuff was always known to be there. Just like shale oil. It was not a new discovery. It was not even new technology. Russia was fracking wells in the 1970s. What let it all happen was 0% interest rates. Borrowed money that could be repaid with more borrowed money.
But . . . anyway . . . there is no new shale miracle waiting. We aren’t going back to 0% interest rates to fund fracking or anything other new technique.
The number is 12 Trillion cubic meters and production is 0.9. 14 years. We’ll be lucky to get that.
Nothing you said disputes what I posted.
0% interest rates are not needed to produce more gas.
Simple supply and demand. If US starts ‘running out of nat gas’, price goes up. Higher price induces more production.
Here are oil prices in 2005 onwards.
https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/crude-oil (click ALL)
Note that price spiked in 2008 and crashed down within 18 months as the Great Recession was in play. The big oil price crash was 2014.
Interest rates crashed in late 2008 as Bernanke tried to save the world. They stayed 0 for a decade.
Now here is the Bakken shale oil production, from which gas is derived (though flared in early days).
https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?f=M&n=PET&s=MCRFPND2
Note how it started up in 2008, how it ignored the oil price crash of late 2009 and then AGAIN ignored another crash in 2014?, and continued up? Why not frack and produce when it’s not your money. It’s the bank’s money.
Point being, interest rates are where the shale boom came from and those aren’t coming back.
BTW Russia’s gas reserves are 37 Tcm. They were not a lot less than that in 2005. Those are REAL reserves. Not convoluted 0% interest rate fracking reserves.
It is truly impressive how accurate those HIMARS are - dead center between two railroad tracks, time after time.
What a contrast to those pockmocked fields where the Russians fire a hundred rounds into a grid square, hoping to get lucky and hit something.
