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 only ones who have even a remote clue on losses are both sides and neither is giving accurate numbers as far as equipment is concerned oryx is probably a good baseline for both sides
The Russian numbers of 16-17000 I believe is absurd, human wave attacks against defensive positions make that unlikely however Russian mass artillery attacks even if not precise will still cause large casualties on Ukrainian side.
As I have said before the success or failure of any Ukrainian offensive will be largely depended on how the Russians react. If they break like Kharkiv then it could be very successful. If they stand and fight with coordination of artillery and air assets then any success could be limited. And pictures and videos of destroyed western equipment will be used to its fullest extent
If they are both fake, does it matter which came first?
Are we in an argument over whether I would like to know which answer is the accurate one?
I didn’t anticipate that.

no just stating my position.
That isn’t the way your posts at me read, but if you say they were about you and stating your position for yourself then OK, thanks for sharing.
