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.

One of speedy’s biggest “fans” is/was a big follower of hers, and frequently posted her fake intel. She was also a frequent source for telegram channel “Intel Slava Z” which is another important source for many Russian freepers.

From Speedy's link: "When analyzing the information, we noticed an important trend: the largest number of EWS and radar systems were destroyed on the eve of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counteroffensive operations in the Kyiv, Kharkiv and Kherson directions."

Here's some guesswork:

UKR are dropping JDAMs and the Russians are not getting advanced warning.

The Russians have moved their radars and EW systems closer to the front and operating them to achieve 24/7 coverage.

The UKR MiGs that are dropping JDAMs also have HARMs...the HARMs are doing their job.

Or UKR are using highly classified sensors to locate the emitters and taking them out with HIMARs or Excaliburs.

.

IMHO, taking out the EW and radar systems in advance of counteroffensive operations is HUGE!

Here is a source for a thread.

It isn’t surprising, someone has to supply their material, a 37-year-old divorcee from New Jersey named Sarah Bils, and pretending to be a Russian with a fake accent and fake information fits the bill.

“Ms Bils maintains that she was forced out of the services because of her Left-wing views.”

“”One of the biggest spreaders of pro-Kremlin disinformation and propaganda, who posed online as a Russian Jewish woman from Luhansk, turned out to be a middle-aged divorced woman from New Jersey”

“Donbass Devushka (at different times she has also used the pseudonyms Mila Medvedev, @luganskforlife, CheburekiVibes, MeatballSubZero, YuGopnik, GhostofLugansk) has her own Telegram channel, Twitter account and YouTube channel”

“Vyshemirskaya does say that on one occasion soldiers came over to Hospital No. 3 and asked for food, saying that they hadn’t eaten in several days. This is the narrative that the “Donbas Devushka” account retweeted by Delgado conflated into “Ukrainian soldiers kicked the mothers out and stole their food.” (That account was later permanently suspended by Twitter.)”

I kind of figured but was confused a little by the wording sorry for my confusion.

[blitz128]

Destruction of these systems along with degrading artillery command and control and logistics are all key
If reports of 1000s of drones are correct that should be able to be accomplished as well as constant harassment of ground troops and equipment

Thanks for the ping

“UKR are dropping JDAM”

I know JDAMs are being used by UA because they’ve already been delivered.

But would like to see some video.

And GLSDB. What is taking so long? There is a war underway.

A pressurant valve appears to be frozen, so unless it starts operating soon, no launch today

Learned a lot today, now offloading propellant, retrying in a few days …

Rivet Joint mission over the Black Sea right now with two fighter escorts.

“ What is taking so long?”

My guess is that there is a major coordination effort, to bring a lot of things together at a point in time, to produce synergistic combined Operational effects - to overwhelm and collapse the enemy.

That time is coming, and precision fires should heat up on the front end of the Operation. In preparation for those preparatory fires, they are likely keeping their powder dry, accumulating stocks, and moving them into position.

All the many moving parts need to be arranged to launch the operation, including hard to control conditions, like enemy force dispositions and the weather. Some new capabilities would be wise to reserve for the Operation, to achieve an element of surprise, to shock and panic enemy forces.

It will likely be a busy time on your thread. Have snack foods stockpiled, in case you are riveted to the screen for a week or two.

Either way, Crimea (and Russian forces there) would likely end up besieged, with constrained resupply, and being bombarded with long range fires.
.......
The flip side of that is that, say the ukes were able to capture the bridges, trap a russian army or two, and push uke troops into crimea and take crimea.

the russians could then blow the bridges and trap the uke troops in crimea.

The uke troops in crimea would be in the same position as the rus troops in crimea. Either way, uke or rus— they would need a lot of ferries to keep things going in crimea.

Bridging equipment supplied by US. Then there are pontoon bridges etc.
.......
I’ve seen pics of the pontoon bridges. Individually they look like they are designed for use in small forges across small rivers.

Likely they could be lashed together to form a long bridge across the dneiper or the dneiper lakes.

But my sense is that this could only be a temporary solution since the rus have missles with pinpoint accuracy—that could take these pontoon bridges out.

[PIF]

Pontoon bridges are precisely what the Russian used in Kherson to cross the Dniepr River for months. Also ferries and other boats.

Russian have few missiles, if any with pinpoint accuracy - that’s in their press releases, not their arsenals. Plus they cannot make more with out Western chips - Chinese ones are no substitute.

[PIF]

Next generation StarShip announced - 3 more engines and 10 feet taller.

If Artemis 3 goes according to plan, the Next Gen Starship could be launched late fall 2025.

Eventually, starship will have capacity to take 1,000 passengers to the Moon or Mars faster.

Once the Moon base is underway, Project Orion will be resurrected - nuclear pulse engines that can be safely launched from the surface of the Moon and on to Mars. And even interstellar missions - as originally planned by the Project Orion Team back in 1964, before it was killed by loss of (governmental] political will.

.......
there were press reports a month or two ago of russian missles with high trajectories in transit —that at their terminal phase went straight down. Because they went straight down at their terminal phase—they were impossible to shoot down. The stories were that these missles had fairly precision accuracy. One of these missles hit at least one command center near kiev.

Is your point —that these stories were false?

[RetiredArmy]

What are the troop losses? Any idea on that?

[PIF]

You hear a lot of things that seem to only appear in Russian propaganda releases.

My point was that there are known quantities of Russian missile types, stocks and usage. These figures have been posted in previous Attack threads.

You are talking about the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal of which they have only a handful and cannot make more.

Fair accuracy is not the same as pin-point accuracy. One hits within a dozen meters, the other within a meter or less.

The missiles you are referring to hit apartment buildings, not command centers.

They can be stopped under certain conditions. When the Patriot batteries come online, we may see if those missiles can hit Kinzhals.

“The flip side of that is that, ...the russians could then blow the bridges and trap the uke troops in Crimea.”

As horrible as war is, at least its not boring.

Thinking adversaries on both sides, with a lot at stake.
