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 Russian military, the second largest military in the world, may not be what it looks like. Lies and systematic corruptions may in fact have dragged Russia into this war with Ukraine, which has been heavily backed up by the US and NATO. We will present the evidence, you make your own decision, because the Russian Army, is not what you think.

Designed to support the U.S. Army Captains Career Course, “Understanding Combined Arms Warfare” defines and outlines the important aspects of modern combined arms operations. This is not a complete history of combined arms warfare. It is intended to highlight the most important aspects of the subject.
The beginning of the documentary establishes a common understanding of combined arms warfare by discussing doctrinal and equipment developments in World War I. The second part compares the development of French and German Army mechanization during the interwar period and describes how each country fared during the Battle of France in 1940. The film concludes by showing how the United States applied combined arms operations in the European Theater in World War II.

[Taken Captive | We Set a New Record of POWs | Russian Attack Comes At a Huge ]
••Day 416: April 15
Today the biggest news comes from the East.
Here, Russian airborne units continued substituting damaged Wagner formations, and yesterday, Russians reached a peak concentration of forces. The excess manpower allowed Russians to set a record for a one-day advancement inside Bakhmut, although it came at a huge cost, as, simultaneously, Ukrainians approached the record of taking Russians captive.
Last time I told you that Wagner forces got degraded to the point where they could not maintain the necessary intensity of attacks and were urgently reinforced by conventional forces. This is a significant development because, previously, the Wagner Group competed with conventional forces and they were doing everything on their own, so the fact that Wagner forces no longer operate independently on any section of the front line means that they were incurring unsustainable losses.
The freshest reports suggest that Russian conventional units continued reinforcing Wagner Group. Today a lot of Russian sources reported about the operations of Russian airborne forces in the southern, central, and northern parts of the city. A rapid reinforcement allowed Russians to not only prevent the culmination of the Wagner forces’ offensive effort but also increase the intensity even further.
A Ukrainian soldier from the 93rd Mechanized Brigade said that if previously Russians operated in small assault units comprised of 5 to 10 troops, then from yesterday, each assault is conducted by 20, 30, or even 40 troops.
First of all, Russian forces once again attempted to establish control over the grain elevators. Last time Russian here were defeated in a matter of hours because they failed to secure their flanks, and got cut off from the mainland.
But it seems like Russians learned from their mistake, increased the scale of their operations, and leveraged the reinforcements provided by the Airborne division. Russians rapidly relocated many troops to Rose Alley and started pushing in every direction.
While a substantial portion of Ukrainian troops focused on repelling this attack, Russian forces attacked the grain elevators. As a result, a small Ukrainian group of soldiers in the north had to retreat to avoid complete encirclement, which allowed Russians to secure new positions.
Russians also tried to capitalize on recent gains immediately and maintain the momentum, so they made an intense push on the area that they had been shelling non-stop for a week.
A huge inflow of fresh troops that could be sent in large numbers to storm strong points allowed Russians to make significant progress, however, it came at a huge cost. Today, many sources reported that Ukrainians set a record for the number of Russians taken captive while being on the defensive. By the evening, Ukrainians captured almost half a hundred troops and killed many times more, most of whom were reportedly mobilized soldiers.
One of the Ukrainian soldiers that published the footage said that Ukrainians also exploited the fact that Russians concentrated their forces on such a small area and focused almost all artillery fire on the Russian positions.
The artillery fire allowed Ukrainians to break Russian momentum and slowly start conducting limited counterattacks. So far, several small but successful assaults were reportedly conducted in the north and northeast.
The main goal of Ukrainians right now is to prevent Russians from consolidating control over the outer edge of the city. This edge allows Ukrainians to counter all assaults toward the village of Khromove, and Russians seek to establish control over it at any cost to cut off one of the main supply roads to Bakhmut.
Overall, the rapid reinforcement of the Wagner Group with airborne units allowed Russians to overwhelm Ukrainians with the sheer number of troops and secure control over a lot of blocks. Some Ukrainian fighters said that they are preparing to face something similar from the south.
The Battle for Bakhmut approaches the end, and since it looks like Wagner forces were destroyed because Ukrainians are mostly dealing with the conventional Russian army, it seems like Ukrainians achieved their objective of destroying the Wagner Group before the counteroffensive operation. Although it is possible that the Russian High Command just decided that the hardest part is done, so they should save at least some Wagner units for some hard task in the future.
••Huge explosion two days ago was confirmed as being the bridge across the river in the north. They cannot send tanks and other heavy equipment across the river.

Pygozhyn’s map in his latest video show no changes in the lines. The caption on the video say he is probably under drugs, saying, “If you are a bird, you may be able to fly to Paris and s...t on the Eiffel Tower”. That is thought to serve as an ad for Wagner forces ... and means the Imperialistic Russians want to expand their Empire to Paris and Berlin. He goes on to say, ‘it is highly likely that the Ukrainian offensive will be successful’.

Publish data today shows that the UA has destroyed a lot of Russian anti-radar/EW systems. This is the same sort of actions that preceded last year’s offensives. Making Russia blind is a necessary step; Russian satellites are not as effective and US satellites.
==
All the Patriot system will be obtained after Orthodox Christian Easter, ie tomorrow. They should be in place by next week, and deploy in 2 weeks. This sets the table for the offensive to begin at any time after that.

Train load of about 20 M109 L SPGs seen in Italy. This is part of the agreed 100 units. EU and France finally agreed to send 155mm artillery shells to the UA for those and other units.

Khartoum, Sudan: shows image of Ukrainian Sky Up airline’s 737 on fire at the airport. This happened during clashes between the Army and Special Forces. Apparently, the Sky Up planes & crews were relocated to Sudan, and now they will have to be relocated again. Special Forces captured some Egyptian soldiers who were drilling with the army.

UK Defense Intelligence: Russian electronic call up notices will go into effect later this year, but in itself does not indicate any new forces wave on conscription. Russia continues to concentrate on volunteers. This new system also indicates Russia’s anticipation of a long term conflict. Russian men have the choice of: going to Ukraine and dying, being cut off from all social benefits, or fleeing the country.
All of Russian victories in wars, historically, have been with the sacrifice of lots of men; its their most powerful tool.
==
The Leopard 1A5 tanks can be taken out by Russian tanks easily, but they will have thermal cameras and good aiming equipment. Can be used in a 2nd wave of the offensive. The first 80 of the 100 tanks will be delivered soon.

Regular Russian military now taking convicts into service. This may be the start of MoD Shoigu’s private army which may replace the Wagner group. Sending convicts to war to die is an important resource, else if they only sent civilians, there would be complaints from Russian society to send less civilians and more convicts.
It’s easy for Russian citizens to be imprisoned - simply liking some criticism of the army can get one 20 years. Tee is little difference today between Russia and North Korea.

Russian officials claim the fires at the Kazan tank base was just a grass fire. Ignore the explosions.
It is Orthodox Easter Day in the Ukraine and Russia today.
What VDV doink?
Teplinsky has been reinstated by Putin and now VDV are getting smoked in Bakhmut. VDV being used as infantry yet again.
