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.

I remember before the war started and people were posting how bad A Russia’s Spetsnaz was. They are mostly dead now.

••Day 333.
Apart from new developments in the Zaporizhzhia region, a number of very important events took place in the Kherson region.
Here, the Russians once again leveraged their positions on the islands to engage their artillery from a very short distance and quickly hide, however, today, the deployed Russian artillery units were caught red-handed and successfully destroyed.
As you remember, in the aftermath of the retreat from the western bank of the Dnipro River, the Russians retained control over most islands.
One of the most problematic islands for the Ukrainians turned out to be the island Velykyi Potiomkin. The reason why it caused a lot of trouble for the Ukrainians is twofold.
Firstly, this is probably the most populated island on the Dnipro River’s delta, excluding the island within Kherson Citi’s administrative borders.
Even though it looks empty, the outer part of the island has thousands of houses, so the area where the Russians can hide and establish their positions is really vast.
Secondly, this island is extremely close to many Ukrainian positions, including Kherson. The island part of Kherson is only 1.5 km away from the Russians.
Other villages, such as Bilozerka, Dniprovske, and Berehove, are around 3-6 km away from the island, and all these settlements are constantly suffering from shelling, especially Kherson, where residential buildings become the target almost every day.
Forcing the river to assault and push the Russians out of it was extremely risky and difficult, so the Ukrainians decided to establish tight sniper and artillery control.
Over the last month, the Ukrainians were able to collect all the necessary information to simplify their counterbattery actions: they identified approximate time windows that the Russians usually used and rough coordinates of their positions.
Today, when the Russian artillery unit was conducting yet another fire mission, the Ukrainians timely spotted the unit, adjusted the coordinates and transferred them to the artillery units that were waiting for the possible immediate need for counteraction, and fired at the Russians.
Since the artillery duels took place between short-range artillery systems that are all located a maximum of 6 km from one another, it is almost impossible to timely reposition if your enemy has been waiting for you, which is why the Russian artillery unit operating in this region was destroyed.
The locals also reported explosions in Oleshky. The Russians are using this town as one of their main pre-frontal bases, so the Ukrainians likely targeted the area of Russian forces concentrations.
In the meantime, the Ukrainian General Staff reported that in the aftermath of their precision strikes that happened over the last two days, the Ukrainians fixed the arrival of dozens of trucks at the hospital in Nova Kahovka with wounded personnel.
Finally, when it comes to the Zaporizhzhia region, more details became available about Russian plans.
When it comes to the villages to the west of Orikhiv, as you remember, the Russians established control over the grey zone area and attempted to attack Stepove. Unfortunately for the Russians, the attack seems to have failed.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that they were not only crossing the fields, but also attacking uphill, which is extremely difficult. A similar situation happened near Scherbaky. Today the Russians adjusted their plans and assaulted Kamianske, which is located in the lowlands.
The fights here are very tough, as the Russians are fixing Ukrainian troops by firing at them from the opposite side of the bay while another group is storming their flanks.
When it comes to the area to the east of Orikhiv, here the setting is completely different. Unlike in the western area, where the Ukrainians have small fortifications on the hills, here, the Ukrainians have big fortifications in the lowlands.
Because these fortifications are well-developed, the first wave of attacks has been repelled, but because these positions are in the lowlands, it is much easier for the Russians to continue storming them. That is why I expect the clashes here to continue.
Overall, the Russians failed to achieve any progress by assaulting Ukrainian positions in front of Orikhiv because here, the Ukrainians have a lot of tactically advantageous positions.
That is why the Russians are expected to shift their focus to the outskirts, where they can move along the valleys.
RuZZia’s destroyed relationships with so many countries brings joy to the heart.
“Russia, Estonia expel ambassadors over ‘destroyed relations.’ Russia has summoned Estonian Ambassador Margus Laidre, ordering him to leave the country, followed by Estonia making the same move, the AP reported, citing the countries’ foreign ministries.”

“Estonia to give Ukraine all its 155-mm howitzers in largest aid package so far. “We want to create a precedent so that other countries will not have any excuses why they cannot provide Ukraine with the necessary weapons to win the war,” said Estonian Ambassador Kaimo Kuusk.”

“New poll’s finds:

87% favor the accession to the EU
85% support a military and political union of Ukraine, Poland, and the UK
80% are for a union of Ukraine, Poland, and Lithuania”

“Germany began transferring Patriot systems to Poland. The complexes are sent to the area near Zamost, which is located 60km from the Ukrainian border. They will cover the logistics point where they collect military aid for Ukraine, and will protect the eastern flank of NATO.”

This is laughable.
“Another SPECTACULAR video from the Belarussian special forces. I am genuinely afraid. They even have a yellow flag to give clearance for an artillery shot. And just look how these brave soldiers confirm the strike via very advanced binoculars.”

As I recall didn’t like 2/3 of Russia’s special forces get killed in the attack on the Kyiv airport?
200,000 dead and maimed mostly young Russians and Ukrainians should not make anyone happy unless you are a globalist and want these two countries transformed into pliable cogs of the new world order. Notice how the organizations that usually scream for negotiations and peace such as the UN, the Vatican and the potpourri of never shy NGOs have remained very silent.
