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.

What VDV doink?
Tell your Putin that VDV aren’t infantry.
Jersey Devushka just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Does it? LOL. But Kremlin Bolsheviks and their duped fellow travelers carry on as if they haven’t been outed as gaslighting frauds. Clearly, they have no shame.

Yep. Because they have no shame.
From all 3 countries now.
“Deputy Defense Minister Oleksandr Pavlyuk said that Patriot air defense systems arrived in Ukraine from all the countries that promised them: Germany, The United States and the Netherlands.”

Russian TG Channels discuss a Potential UAF offensive:
Midshipman Ptichkin’s predictions and analysis:
The situation in the Kherson direction: the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
For the first months of 2023, the Armed Forces of Ukraine:
- Improved supply lines (key hub - Snegiryovka);
- Repaired/built bridges;
- Made crossings;
- Increased the number of troops in the Kherson region;
- Conduct constant landings of DRGs on the islands in the vicinity of Kherson;
- Prepare several directions of impact;
- They are preparing the crossing of the Dnieper with subsequent consolidation in settlements (Geroiskoye, Golaya Pristan, Alyoshki, Kakhovskaya agglomeration, Gornostaevka, Bolshaya Lepetikha, etc.);
- They plan to occupy and cut off a relatively large area: most likely, the enemy will move along the coastline;
For the first months of 2023, the RF Armed Forces:
- Carried out the evacuation of civilians from dangerous areas;
- Organized several lines of defense;
- Mined the coastline;
- Prepared groups of “meeters” in threatened directions;
- Prepared reserves to repel the blow.
The offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson region may begin within 30-45 days.
Grey Zone’s predictions and analysis:
The enemy is really concentrating forces on the right bank of the Dnieper.
Logistics goes, among other things, through Snegirevka, which was attached to the Kherson region in the summer. On the night of April 18, ours worked on it.
The enemy is successfully building bridges across the Ingulets to replace those destroyed in summer and autumn. Bridges, by the way, are intact.
1. Forcing the Dnieper is possible in the area of the Kakhovka agglomeration. Attacks in the Kherson direction can be distracting , but the Armed Forces of Ukraine will definitely try to gain a foothold on the bridgehead beyond the Dnieper (remember the bridgehead at Ingulets). And fill us with meat.
2. The enemy will inflict the main blow (and most likely several) in the Zaporozhye region and the DPR , on the Vasilievka-Gulyaipole-Bolshaya Novosyolka-Ugledar line.
3. Distracting “entries” into the territory of Russia are also possible. And much bigger than before.
Michman’s commentary on the situation in the Kherson direction of April 14 is here.

Thanks for that update.
I’m soooo ready for the UA offensive.
I just ‘hope’ it meets our ‘hopes’.
I complained to the management, to no avail. This is the very definition of SPAM.

And so what? No one forces you to click on the thread.
You don’t like it, go elsewhere, or don’t read it.
You are just trying to stifle any discussion and points of view that you do not like.
Which makes you anti-First Amendment.
Which is understandable, since that is also the Russian point of view.
Then there is the rumor that Russian forces a re preparing to withdraw from Kherson region.
There is also the possibility that the offensive starts east of the river which draws the Russian troops in the Kherson region eastward, after that the Kherson/Kinburn crossing happens.
The Russian have extensive fortifications, but seems to lack the manpower to man it in its entirety, leaving sections unmanned and weak.
What discussion? As I said, its the same word-for-word spam each and every single day.
This is not the healthy quick-freeperthon FR of yesterday.
A vibrant, robust and spirited discussion would be welcome. A canned daily DSC-based carbon-copy rah-rah for “ukraine” is not.
IMHO.
“Ukraine’s ability to absorb weapon systems they are unfamiliar with”
Seems that Russian forces will soon be absorbing some weapons that they are unfamiliar with as well...
This is a discussion thread - and Russian trolls, like yourself, try to shut it down, distract, gaslight, and otherwise misinform. You’d be happier if you were on a Russian Telegram Channel - so go there, and stop making yourself so miserable here.
Still just 2 batteries. The Dutch only supplied 2 launchers and some missiles. They will be used with the US/German donated batteries. Also, Sweden donated 12 IRIS-T SLS short range launchers that will be integrated with the German supplied IRIS-T SLM batteries. They need much, much more.
The thread obviously isn’t spam, the title and subject description of the daily thread of course remains the same.
You reported the “WEEKLY GARDENING THREAD” didn’t you, and it’s description?
“The Weekly Gardening Thread is a weekly gathering of folks that love soil, seeds and plants of all kinds. From complete newbies that are looking to start that first potted plant, to gardeners with some acreage, to Master Gardener level and beyond, we would love to hear from you. If you have specific question about a plant/problem you are having, please remember to state the Growing Zone where you are located. This thread is a non-political respite. No matter what, you won’t be flamed, and the only dumb question is the one that isn’t asked. It is impossible to hijack...”
Spam is what Kazan does, posting the same cut-and-paste articles on threads throughout FR where we see them many times on the same day even though they aren’t relevant to the thread.
We go to different threads, and different topics, and have to keep seeing the same spam article over and over, every day.
“”Seems that Russian forces will soon be absorbing some weapons that they are unfamiliar with as well...””
Well, that sort of thing happens, you know?
Sometimes that kind of stuff just sneaks up on a guy.
This daily thread is going just fine without you. Feel free to leave it and stop being disruptive at any time. Thanks.
The thread obviously isn’t spam, the title and subject description of the daily thread of course remains the same.
It’s worth noting those shedding crocodile tears and complaining about this thread never take umbrage at the Jersey Devushka and Moonbat of Alabama spam posted over and over. We had one poster cutting and pasting Russian ministry of defense press releases a while back. Crickets there, too.
