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.

The scary part is that, as I understand it, it's the drone that identifies the human target and the "terminal guidance" is AI. The operator only has the ability to wave off the attack or let it go. Think of it like your smart phone camera when it identifies faces, or even smiles. Except this AI wants to kill you.
“We also brought brand new diesel train to the route. Made in Ukraine during the war, btw.”
This is impossible. Just yesterday I was informed by FR's resident train expert that Ukraine's railway system was destroyed and they don't have diesel trains. "I know of what I speak". LOL.

Look at the map I posted from the front on 01/17/23, look at scale at the lower left hand corner.
In addition to "interdiction" of key targets, GLSDBs could be an important part of Combined Arms.
In a Combined Arms scenario, Air Support is called in when unexpected threats pop up that can't be engaged by artillery or HIMARs.
If air support is not available, then highly accurate GLSDBs can be called in.
GLSDBs can be located well beyond enemy artillery range and still cover large areas of the battlefield.
Comments welcome.
“In a Combined Arms scenario, Air Support is called in when unexpected threats pop up that can’t be engaged by artillery or HIMARs.

Very true. Another layer of backup that can respond quickly to reinforce troops in peril. Could be a real Godsend.
