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.

pdate on Russian military operations in Ukraine for November 21, 2022
- Russian makes incremental gains in the Donbass region; - Ukraine’s power grid continues to degrade under Russian missile and drone strikes;
- Ukraine continues denying responsibility for missile strike in Poland;
- US claims NASAMS air defense systems performed at 100% effectiveness, provide no numbers or proof of this claim; - There are not enough NASAMS arriving in Ukraine over the next several years to protect Ukraine from further Russian missile and drone salvos;
- Ukraine has more or less abandoned Kherson city;
- US DoD admits Ukraine cannot achieve its main objective of expelling Russia;
- Failure to achieve Ukraine’s objective while continuing to fight and lose men and equipment equates to demilitarization;

Not even a drop in the bucket on the number the US abandoned to our enemies.

I don’t care how you slice it, the loss of so many tanks and artillery is horrendous.
Where do you live in RuZZia?
“Saudi Arabia Eyes OPEC+ Production Increase Ahead of Embargo, Price Cap on Russian Oil
Raising output would partially reverse the group’s contested decision to cut supplies in October”
The October production cut by the Saudis, may have been preparation for the coup de grâce to Russia starting next month, with the European embargo on Russian imports and the proposed price cap on Russian exports.
The Saudis were pumping near capacity, and needed some slack to be able to surge when Russian exports get throttled back.
The drama of Biden getting mad at them, and them realigning with Russia and China may have been a bit of deception. The Saudis are deadly enemies with the current Iranian regime, who are Russian Military clients.
Oil is a/the center of gravity for Russia in this war.
Always good for a laugh make sure you reach your quota lol
Count me skeptical. I’ll believe when video of the Ukraine flag is raised in Kinburn Spit.
And the idea of Ukraine announcing the ‘operation’ makes me believe it even less.
“Ukraine says military operation underway on left bank of Dnipro River.
Ukraine’s Southern Operational Command said that the operation had been launched on the Kinburn Spit in Mykolaiv Oblast, and a storm in the sea is helping Ukrainian troops to liberate this territory.”

“The NATO Parliamentary Assembly recognized Russia as a terrorist state”
I think this is momentous.
The full resolution, unanimously passed by all 30 NATO members, establishes a firm position on major issues:
- Russia’s actions have been egregiously criminal - to the extreme of terroristic.
- Those crimes must be systematically investigated and prosecuted. It requests the establishment of a dedicated International Tribunal for Russia war crimes, able to indict top leadership, as well as trigger pullers and field Commanders.
- Russia must pay reparations, and they will begin establishing the mechanisms to implement them.
- It established the principle that NATO will support Ukraine as long as necessary - and an increase in arms supplies to Ukraine.
- Authorized the development of specific steps regarding Ukraine’s accession to NATO.
The resolution will now be sent to the governments and parliaments of all NATO member countries.
NATO United! A Strategic defeat to Putin. Even Olaf Scholz has been laying down the law to Russians lately.

••I apologize to everyone for not providing information past two days in a timely fashion. I remain committed to doing so in the future, however these situations where I may not be able to do it for a day for two will happen. I cannot guarantee 100% coverage everyday. I appreciate your understanding of the situation.
Housing prices potential drop: I’ve seen some of the headlines including from the Dallas Fed saying, there could be drop of like saying 15% or 20%. so I would say that is not correct it, will be much bigger depending on the level of interest rates, but the current interest rates probably more like 30-35% drop.
China:
It’s an important country and developments there threaten to start World War III. I would say what’s going on in Ukraine is definitely some form or fashion the World War III. The President of the Philippines is going to visit China in January 2023. Probably an overall negative development for the Western Alliance because Philippines is like a bridgehead that was supporting US presence in the Pacific, close to Asia. It looks like the situation there is not terribly firm, and potentially the Philippines may be looking to be neutral in this potential future conflict.
New Zealand:
New Zealand’s Prime Minister is also going to visit China - its unclear when, but they just need to agree on the dates. That’s a net negative, not that New Zealand is huge in terms of its resources, but its more psychological - showing there is no true unity and true understanding of the situation; its more of a everybody for themselves in the upcoming situation.
Netherlands:
Dutch Minister of Foreign Trade said that the Netherlands will not blindly follow US export ban on high tech to China, and that’s really important, because Netherlands holds the key to manufacturing of the most advanced modern chips. There is a company called ASML that’s headquartered & most of the facilities are based in Netherlands, and they have a monopoly (on lithographic equipment).
They produce the most advanced equipment to manufacture advanced chips, which usually about 5-7mm They do also make equipment for less advanced chips, which is 20mm, or more than 100mm, but also for military applications where the more advanced the chip, the more advantage you are, the higher the chances you have of winning.
There’s probably some golden middle where the cost of the chip is not that prohibitedly high, but the productivity is still very high. I’m not totally convinced that 7mm is really the only solution to achieve a technological advancement, because maybe it at 24-25mm you can get the same advantages with by optimizing other important parts in your weapons. Everybody’s looking very blindly at 5-7mm as the solution.
What this company makes is equipment using ultraviolet laser to burn grooves in those silicone wafers. It’s called lithography, that’s how they started, and that’s what the L stands in the name of ASML. I don’t think the Netherlands will really allow ASML to export the most advanced, but this is this announcement this clear sign that there is no total unity. Another problem is ASML may lose a lot of revenue, and there is no compensation for that; that’s a situation with high tech and transfer of technology to China.
Another point about China: there is statistical information released showing Chinese exports to the US fell by 12.6% in October, and prior to that, in September it fell by 11.6%. Importantly, there’s acceleration in the drop of exports, however, the more important analysis of the situation is the separation or decoupling of the world economy into separate islands or separate alliances, is really gaining steam, gaining momentum.
What this means for those who are expecting a reduction in inflation, they probably will be severely disappointed, because the drop in Chinese exports to the US really means that you have US high cost manufacturers who will replace the Chinese manufacturers, who are gone.
That means continued inflation pressure, and the Federal Reserve is not going to go back to low interest rates anytime soon; not because they don’t want to, but because political pressure is getting bigger and bigger every day to stop increasing rates, and potentially decreased rates. However, they are not masters of themselves, they are in desperate situation, and they will have to increase rates, keeping them at high levels.
That’s closer to normal; its pretty impressive that people say this is high, but which is this is normal. I wouldn’t say normal, because its not the market, its economically grows like the Soviet Union used to have aCentral Planning Authority, it is similar idea, by the way, to the Soviet Union, except its done in a much better way, because its not direct orders what to do, but its being planned through use of interest rates, by which you achieve extreme total control of over the economy, over the direction of the economy, and you’re not using direct orders, which are extremely inefficient, and this is extremely efficient way of controlling the economy.
Nobody likes losing that extreme control over the economy, and if needed, the interest rates will be high and will lead to a lot of pain, but these interest rates are not high - they really closer to the norm and could be lower than what where they should be, given the whole situation.
Russia:
25% Russian passenger airplanes are idled and being cannibalized: this is an example where sanctions really do work, because there is no transfer of high-tech spare parts, and that really leads to a problem in the Russian passenger air fleet.
First: a Russian video shows literally a unit of Russian army and two soldiers who refuse to go to fight were called out of that unit in front of everyone, in front of an entire unit assembled, and they were taken to the prison. This means that there are a lot of problems, and the problems are a growing, and they’re becoming very serious, because this isa tool to scare the rest into submission, because its done in public to humiliate those soldiers and make everybody else scared for their life, and so they more scared about and goto the battlefield.
The Second part about this there are severe problems that we don’t see yet in Russian army where a lot of people simply don’t want to go and fight.
The Third more important conclusion out of all of this is that Russia is firmly on the path to its 1917 moment, and its advanced quite far; its not terribly far away.
Ukraine:
There was a there’s a private company that has a monopoly on the distribution of electricity -its totally illegal. How it was achieved: there is oligarch in Ukraine that owns it, his name is Renat Ahmetov, and he bribed politicians, and over time he created a monopoly on the energy market - not a total monopoly, but he effectively controls 70-80% of the electricity distribution.
The company made a public statement saying, ‘one more attack like what happened to Ukraine, and the entire network will collapse,’it will just simply disintegrate into islands with the sea of darkness between those islands, then Russia probably will continue hitting the most important islands to completely destroy those too. The situation is on the edge. There are blackouts, quitelong ones.
Another interesting moment is there were protests in Odessa and also much smaller ones in Cherno, where people wouldn’t have electricity for 2-3 days, and they go to the streets protesting and demanding authorities to fix the situation.
Russia’s attempt to put the pressure on Ukrainian Top to enter into negotiations that are mean losing territories.They gaining some traction, I wouldn’t say its really change in the situation, but the Russian side has achieved some limited success, because its not large, massive protests; its just relatively contained protest, however, the biggest problem is not so much Russian side, its really theUkrainian authority, the Ukrainian leadership that’s not really capable of solving the problems, and not only that, they themselves not capable, and they prevent people from saving themselves.
As time passes, it will be big, it will become more and more evident and clear that current Ukrainian leadership is a literally a threat to Ukraine’s survival. It will become more clear again that its doing more damage to Ukraine than than anyone and including more than Russia. The situation is really on the edge - where its gonna go will remains to be seen with the temperatures going down below zero now, and also depends on the Russian resolve to put final nail in the coffin of Ukrainian electricity distribution system.
Military Situation:
North Donbas:
I would say that losses on Ukrainian side are high here in defending all of this area; losses among Wagner Group are also high - both sides are seeing heavy attrition and losses on both sides, in a way its like World War I scenario where it is extremely positional while leading to very high losses on both sides. In the southern section, Russian troops are trying to continue moving westward to outflank and force withdrawal Ukrainian troops from there.
Zaporizhya:
Here is also quiet. Russian site is reporting Ukrainian Command is bringing troops to this whole to this area, units probably from the from Kherson - which units is unclear, could be this information is incorrect, but there is probably some truth to it, given this is the most lucrative opportunity for the Ukrainian side to achieve a very, very a decisive victory. I won’t be surprised if there will be some attempt towards some offensive down south to split Russian troops into two parts.
Every passing day, Ukrainian site is losing opportunity for that, because more and more Russian mobilized soldiers are coming to the front, which makes Russian defenses much more stable and much stronger.
Also the Crimean bridge that was severely damaged, its being repaired as we speak, and the Russian side is claiming they’re gonna have the road or rail portion of the bridge open between December 5th and December 20th.
Once that bridge is operating at least the for wheeled transportation, it means that cutting cutting Russian troops will create problems but it will not be a death blow, because there’s still the Crimean bridge, and I’m pretty sure that the defenses of that bridge are much better - to inflict similar damage, it will be extremely hard.
BURN RATE:Russia's continuing attacks on Ukrainian cities, are exhausting its supply precision weapons. Among RU missiles recently downed over Kyiv was a nuclear-capable Kh-55 cruise missile, reconfigured to deliver a conventional explosive warhead.

Fun fact: The Russian Black Sea Fleet has been in Sevastopol in some capacity since 1783. I doubt that will continue after what Putin has now done.

“Russian forces continue to throw their naval brigades at Ukrainian defences near Pavlivka.
Heavy battles continue into the night.
The losses are just massive.”
Fast approaching 7K tanks, etc.!!
Them poor Ukies, can’t keep military hardware under their asses if their lives depended upon. US/NATO STRUGGLING to keep the Ukies supplied with tanks and such. Shat getting destroyed faster than they can replace. Kekw
crackpot
PAWNED!
Curious where you in the neighborhood to see the smoke in at Petersburg Moscow and Crimea
Front line report would be appreciated
You are a follower of Joseph McCarthy too, ain’t ya?
