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.

Interesting Kamikaze drone strike. Claimed drone was from Hungary. To my knowledge, I don’t remember Hungary providing arms to Ukraine.

“Katsaps in Makiivka were locked in the PTU building before the HIMARS strike and forced to listen to Putin’s speech Anton Golovynskyi, one of the mobilized men who survived, told about the ingenious idea of the command.

The chill of the winter has not stopped the brutal and bloody struggle for even small gains in the Donbas.

———————————————————————————————————————
••Day 318.
A lot of updates are once again coming from Soledar.
Soledar has become one of the hottest parts of the front line, where a lot of changes happen every hour.
Yesterday night, the footage was posted by Wagner forces, claiming that they had breached Ukrainian defense and gained access to the salt mines.
Other reports also started coming in, suggesting that the Russians had already established fire control over the roads leading to Soledar, started attacking Soledar from every direction, and that the city was about to be captured.
However, while Russian military bloggers are trying to keep up the momentum of achievements and inflate Russian progress, the Head of Wagner forces that are actually fighting there gave almost completely the opposite view and said that even though they have recently secured some tactical gains, Soledar is nowhere near to be taken yet.
And here is why.
Last time I told you that the line of separation has shifted from the eastern part of Soledar closer to the central part and that the area in between is, to a large extent, a grey zone where the Russians do not maintain a permanent presence.
I told you that the main Ukrainian defense line goes along the residential and industrial areas, and despite the overwhelming reports of fights, this has not changed.
After Wagner forces posted yesterday the video where they fight near the salt mines, a lot of people assumed that they are already here.
However, this is not true.
First of all, there are three large areas devoted to extracting salt: one is located near the residential area, and two are located west of it.
Secondly, each area has several salt mines.
Thirdly, when it comes to the one located near the residential area, it also has a tourist area and sanatorium.
Today’s reports clarified the situation a lot and indicated that yesterday the Russians conducted an attack along the Zhovtneva and Tinysta streets and only assaulted the tourist area near the first salt mine.
The fights there are indeed taking place, but this should not be surprising because, as mentioned previously, this is where the Ukrainians established their defense line, so why would they step out and fight in the open if they can operate under cover of the industrial zone?
The purpose of the tactical retreat was to assume more reliable positions. Other fights are taking place on the eastern outskirts.
Here the Ukrainians are using the same tactic - they stepped back from the first street to the second one to create a buffer zone and avoid direct fire from Yakovlivka.
If we look at the topographic, we can see that the Russians control the heights - the Russians in Yakovlivka are at an altitude of 180 meters, while the Ukrainians in the eastern outskirts are at an altitude of 120 meters, so around 60 meters below the Russians.
Yakovlivka itself is less than 4 km away, so what this means is that the Russians have very good fire control over the outer streets.
The Russians reportedly use various anti-tank systems to target Ukrainian tanks that are in direct vision. They are also firing from their own tanks at Ukrainian positions on the outskirts.
That is why the Ukrainians had to give away the outer street to create a buffer, and that is why the Wagners were able to create a semblance of huge progress, where it seems like the Ukrainian defense line has been breached in multiple places.
In reality, the situation did not change much, and the fights are still taking place inside the buffer zones. In fact, the Head of the Wagner forces, Progizhin himself said that the discussion of the total capture of Soledar is premature. As Prigozhin is trying to promote his private army, he needs to show its effectiveness.
Premature talks of the capture of the city can undermine its reputation if the city continues to stand, which is why Prigozhin was quick to lower people’s expectations back to the baseline.
If we zoom out and look at the bigger picture, we can notice that the Russians may not even be trying to take Soledar by brute force.
Over the last two days, it was reported that the Russians had assaulted Pidhorodne, Krasna Hora, Krasnopolivka, and Rozdolivka. Attacking these settlements is extremely difficult because the Russians get into the crossfire from Soledar.
However, now, as the Russians are attacking the salt mine area, they are fixing Ukrainian troops and opening a window of opportunity to storm the settlements to the south.
The same happens to the north - they assault the outskirts of Soledar to keep the Ukrainian troops busy while they are attacking other settlements on the line. The Russians understand that if they cut off Ukrainians from the flanks, the Ukrainians in Soledar would have to retreat without a fight or risk being taken into a pocket.
So, the Russians are fixing Ukrainian troops in Soledar while they are setting the conditions to conduct a double flank attack.
The main focus of the Ukrainians likely needs to be reinforcing the flanks and making sure that the Russians cannot breach them because Ukrainian fortifications inside Soledar are quite formidable, and it is unlikely that the Russians can take the city in front by brute force. Overall, the Ukrainian defense in Soledar has not been breached.
Ukrainian supplies and reinforcements are also coming from the rear with no problems. Even though the fights are reportedly taking place almost along the entire perimeter, a lot of them are just spoiling attacks that try to fix Ukrainian troops inside the city while the Russians try to outflank them from two sides.
So far, the attacks towards Krasna Hora, Krasnopolivka, and Rozdolivka have been only reconnaissance in nature, so there is no threat of being outflanked at this moment.
“Now Fighting for Ukraine: Volunteers Seeking Revenge Against Russia”
“Chechens, Crimean Tatars and people from the former Soviet republics, all with deep historical grievances against Moscow, are eagerly taking up arms for Kyiv.”
“The sharp crack of sniper fire rang out across the snowbound valley. Soldiers in white camouflage crouched low, shooting at the hill opposite to provide cover as four men evacuated a casualty.
The action was part of a live-fire training exercise for new recruits on a recent morning outside the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. But there was an unusual element to the event. While a Ukrainian Army officer was giving the orders, the trainees were members of a volunteer Chechen battalion that also mixed in some Crimean Tatars and Ukrainians.
Ukraine’s military commanders have long said they do not lack soldiers for the war, but they have nonetheless welcomed to their ranks thousands of volunteers, including foreign citizens. Many of them, like the Chechens, are refugees from Russia itself. Others have come from surrounding nations, like Georgia, that have a history of opposition to Moscow and the leadership of President Vladimir V. Putin.”

For Artemovsk:
01/07/23
The Russian paratroopers, together with the Wagner PMC, are conducting an active phase of the offensive and assault operations in the Popasnaya-Artemovsk area.
PMC “Wagner” pushed through the defense in Soledar and continue assault operations.
The city is not yet under our control, there are fights and it is too early to talk about it.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are not retreating, they are drawing up reserves.
In Kurdyumovka, Zaitsevo, Kleshchievka, active assault battles are going on in the forest belts.
We believe in our guys!
I need a “Soledar Holds” pic.
