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.

MOSCOW, March 25. /TASS/. The Russian armed forces eliminated more than 155 Ukrainian servicemen and a D-30 howitzer in the Donetsk area in the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry’s spokesman, Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov, reported on Saturday.
“In the Donetsk direction, over 155 Ukrainian servicemen, three armored combat vehicles, five cars and a D-30 howitzer were destroyed as a result of active operations by units and artillery of the southern battlegroup,” he said.
Situation in the Kharkov Region
“Army aviation and artillery of the western group of forces struck Ukrainian units near Dvurechnaya and Timkovka in the Kharkov Region. The enemy’s losses amounted to roughly 55 Ukrainian personnel, two armored vehicles and two cars,” the general added.
In the Kherson area
“In the Kherson area, up to 35 Ukrainian soldiers, 10 cars and a Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer were eliminated as a result of damage inflicted by firepower,” Konashenkov reported.
In the Krasny Liman direction
“In the Krasny Liman direction, assault and army aviation aircraft, artillery and units of the battlegroup Center inflicted damage on the enemy manpower and equipment in areas near the settlements of Chervonaya Dibrova in the Lugansk People’s Republic, and Yampolovka and Terny in the Donetsk People’s Republic in their active operations,” the spokesman said.
According to Konashenkov, over 85 Ukrainian servicemen, two armored vehicles, three pickups and a D-30 howitzer were wiped out in this direction in the past day.
Southern Donetsk, Zaporozhye areas
In the southern Donetsk and Zaporozhye directions, aircraft and artillery of the battlegroup East struck the Ukrainian army units near the communities of Ugledar and Novomikhailovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic, the spokesman said.
“The enemy’s losses totaled as many as 70 Ukrainian personnel, three motor vehicles, and a D-20 howitzers in those directions,” the general specified.

[Russians Lost Almost All Modern Tanks. Only 76 y.o. T-54/55 Left - They Ran out of Tanks, The Last Tank Battle]
••Day 394: March 24
Last time I told you that Russian forces failed to develop their initial success in the village of Stepove and encircle Avdiivka because they did not reinforce their assault units on time. I also told you that Ukrainians eliminated the Russian bridgehead completely and forced them to retreat across the rails.
The freshest reports finally gave more details about the situation in this part of the region. As a result of the counterattack, Ukrainians reestablished control over the railway station and used it to counter Russian attempts to get close to the rails.
Russian forces are reportedly conducting attacks by first approaching this hamlet north of the tree line and then trying to hit Ukrainians from the flank. But as of now, the intensity of their attacks here has decreased, and the situation here stabilized.
However, Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russians once again switched to attacking Novokalynove and Novobakhmutivka. Some Russian sources also claimed that Russian forces successfully distracted Ukrainians with their attacks on Stepove, which allowed them to breach 2 out of 3 remaining Ukrainian positions in Novobakhmutivka.
For context, the Battle for Novobakhmutivka started on 3rd April last year, and Ukrainians have been holding off Russian advances here for 355 days. So, Novobakhmutivka is a very powerful fortification, and it is possible that Russians would make such a costly move to try to breach the Ukrainian defense here.
When it comes to the southern part of the region, today also, more information became available on the previous Russian attack from Vodiane. It turns out that Russians used at least twice as many tanks and armored vehicles in their failed attempt. As seen from the newly available footage, Ukrainian forces started destroying Russian tank unit with their ATGMs when Russians barely managed to exit Vodiane.
The first tank got destroyed in front of the last buildings in the northern part of Vodiane. At least 4 vehicles managed to cross the field and start moving toward the hill. But they were destroyed so quickly that by the time the fourth vehicle arrived, two tanks were already destroyed, and the third started retreating. However, it was too late, the vehicle got damaged, and the crew ran away seconds before the shells inside the tank detonated.
Interestingly, Russian forces started deploying 76-year-old World War 2 Era T-54 and T-55 tanks from long-term storage to compensate for significant armored vehicle losses. These tanks lack the armor capabilities of modern armored equipment, have a smaller gun, no stabilization, no fire control system, and no panoramic sight.
Although some sources said that they underwent a process of modernization and were at least equipped with thermal cameras. Some argued that the goal might be to achieve a preferable attrition rate by dropping the cost of the tanks below the costs of the anti-tank guided missiles, but the prospect seems highly doubtful.
Simultaneously, Russian forces are introducing some structural changes. Russian command reformed 9th Separate Marine Assault Regiment into the 9th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade.
The Russian military is also reactivating brigades from the World War II era, such as the Red Army‘s Motorized Rifle Brigades. Such force generation methods suggest that the Russian military command is prioritizing the formation of motorized infantry units as opposed to reconstituting full tank units. This is a clear indicator that the Russian military lacks the tanks needed to rebuild tank units.
Overall, the failure of the Russian forces to conduct maneuver warfare properly and provide sufficient artillery support to suppress Ukrainian firing points and provide sufficient engineering reconnaissance continues to lead to substantial losses in tanks and armored vehicles.
Due to the sheer lack of available equipment, the Russian military is forced to form motorized infantry units instead of tank units because they require fewer tanks to meet the standard. The deployment of the World War 2 Era tanks will further degrade Russian forces and will put significant limitations on Russian offensive capabilities.
Bakhmut:
Prigozhin was definitely the guy that drew the arrows on yesterday’s video. The PMC is not going to withdraw because they have an advantage.
Best direction for a UA counterattack is in the south from Chasiv Yar and from Oleksandro-Shultyne. A northerly counterattack would be harder because PMC holds more ground.
Denys is positive on the UA holding Bakhmut and does not think it will be encircled now. Also at Khromove UA had a successful counter attack and pushed the Orcs back a kilometer or so, retaking control of several supply roads. The ground is still soggy with lots of rain in forecast. So assault missions on hold. Rain during the day and freezing temps at night with snow.
Before Denys gave 90% probability of Bakhmut being captured, but now 50-50.

Official from UA Air Force says there is a chance to hire retired F-16 pilots to fly them for Ukraine.

Russia cancelled some pensions and will go to full defense. Hiring 400,000 new recruits is politically unpopular and a political problem for Putin’s reelection.

Finland opened its air space to NATO, and NATO overwatch planes [Call Sign: Jake 11] which began to fly immediately. Finland opening the 800 mile long border with Russia to NATO was one of Putin’s greatest achievements in this war.

“Ukrainian forces shot down a MI-24 ground attack helicopter on the eastern frontline.”
Tick Tock... counting down the inventory.
MI-24. What happened to the Ka-52s?
The Mi-24 is a large helicopter gunship, attack helicopter and low-capacity troop transport with room for eight passengers.
It's possible that the Mi-24 was being used to insert an eight man recon team.
I believe the Ka-52s are not suitable for troop transport.

Still taking the 5th on who you’ll be voting for? I know it’s been the big guy, you and stiletto heels boy saving the world for green woke pervo globalism but don’t discount Hillary. Remember, it was Hillary who first recognized Trump and myself for the Putin stooges we must be. The first, that is, until you figured out Trump, MAGA and people like me were Putin stooges. Who’s it gonna be?
