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.

“If you’ve noticed that Russians are making virtually no progress around Bakhmut, even losing ground in the south, then you are right. They wasted their resources by frontally attacking the city, most notably at Opytne and East. Even Russian propagandists are getting dismayed.”

“The Czech Republic announced the start of large-scale production of weapons for Ukraine”

“The Czech Republic will start producing weapons for Ukraine in large quantities. For this purpose, thousands of Ukrainians will also come to the country to work at Czech arms production enterprises.

As the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Czech Republic Tomas Kopechny reported, NATO partners will finance such an initiative. First, the modernization and repair of facilities will be carried out, and then the production of military equipment will begin immediately.

“This is not secret information. Citizens of Ukraine already work in the Czech industry, including the defense industry. We did not start going to Ukraine yesterday or last year, we have been doing it since 2015. At that time, we tried to respond to Russian aggression by strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities. For Ukrainians, the war began immediately after the Maidan. It is about the gradual increase of Ukrainian workers,” said Kopechny.”

“Putin’s War Makes Russian Stocks World’s Worst With Grim Outlook”

“Down 44%, the MOEX Index heads for worst year since 2008
War, capital controls and sanctions to weigh on market in 2023”

“Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine sent Russian equities tumbling in February. Nearly 10 months later, a recovery looks far off after sanctions triggered an investor exodus and made them the world’s worst performers.

While the economy has largely stood up better than expected to sanctions imposed by the US and its allies, the stock market paints a different picture.

Russian equities have been excluded from global benchmarks and exchange-traded funds tracking the country’s shares have either been frozen or closed. Local investors haven’t been able to save the domestic market from its war-induced slump, even though most foreigners are still banned from selling the local stocks they hold.”

“Putin’s Ambitions Put Finland’s Troops and Tanks Back In Vogue

For Finland, the Cold War never ended. Its top military commander is now urging NATO to speed up its membership application.

For much of the last 30 years Finland’s armed forces have looked a little old fashioned, still configured to fight a major land campaign in Europe as though the Cold War never ended. No more.

As Finland readies to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization against the backdrop of Europe’s bloodiest war since 1945, in Ukraine, the Nordic nation’s military is back in vogue. Its commanders are also well aware of what they bring to the table in a potential fight.

“We have significant defensive ability to wage the kind of war that’s now taking place in Ukraine,” Finland’s top commander General Timo Kivinen said in an interview. “On a per capita basis, we have probably the most fire power in Europe.”

Finnish officials admit to frustration that the country has yet to join NATO six months after the alliance issued its invitation. That has left both Finland and fellow-invitee Sweden in a so-called “gray” zone between abandoning military non-alignment and gaining NATO’s Article 5 collective defense protections.

“We already fulfill the military criteria for membership, and looking at our defense expenditure, we comply with the 2% of GDP criterion,” Kivinen said.

Despite a population of just 5.5 million, Finland has more artillery than France and Germany combined and can call on as many as 280,000 troops in time of war. Though most of those are trained reserves, the figure is larger than that of the UK.

Finland’s fleet of F/A-18 Hornets armed with advanced US missiles will soon be replaced by 64 Lockheed Martin F-35A aircraft joint strike fighters. At sea, there are elaborate coastal defenses and a shallow water navy tailored for the rocky coasts of the Baltic, plus a capability for fighting in the Arctic and, in Lapland, Europe’s biggest training area for air combat across the three Nordic countries.”

“Rockets Kill One in Russian Region Near Ukraine”

“A rocket strike killed at least one person in Russia’s Belgorod region near Ukraine, local officials said, as Russia’s defense minister made a rare visit to the Ukrainian war zone.

A rocket salvo targeting Belgorod on Sunday was intercepted by Russian air defenses, but falling debris and shrapnel killed one resident, injured eight others and caused damage to 14 buildings, the region’s governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said on social media. He didn’t explicitly blame Ukraine, and Kyiv didn’t acknowledge responsibility for the attack.”

The ugliest 'rocket' ever. But hope it works.

"Elon Musk’s SpaceX Prepares for Starship Launch"

"SpaceX is gearing up for a key test of its immense rocket that is designed for commercial launches, as well as the Mars mission Elon Musk has long sought.

Near a beach east of Brownsville, Texas, employees at Mr. Musk’s space company are preparing for the inaugural orbital flight of Starship, the towering rocket system the company has been developing for years to one day launch into deep space. The initial test mission would last around 90 minutes, beginning with a fiery blast of the ship’s booster over the Gulf of Mexico, SpaceX has said in a regulatory filing.

It isn’t clear when SpaceX will attempt the first flight, after dates Mr. Musk has discussed came and went. Some officials at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a customer for a version of Starship, previously said they thought the mission could occur in early December. "
