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

From what I’m seeing this morning —it looks like the ukes closed the two sides of the pincers and cut off the russians on the southern salient around bakhmut.
The deep question is as to whether the uke troops doing this are part of the 13 brigades the Ukes are said to have in reserve for the summer offensive or whether the troops cutting off the russians are just the uke line troops for the first time deciding to go on the offensive.
I’m inclined to think the latter because we don’t see images of vast lines of tanks moving forward. Rather it looks like a couple tanks and apc with support troops move forward and discover there isn’t much resistance. What resistance they do find—they radio back their artillery to take out.
Uke artillery is amazingly good. You see truck tanks and apc’s moving down a highway and then they get blown up. the narrater says its uke artillery.
the natural thought wtf? to take out a moving vehicle the artillery has to do one of two things: 1.)— the atillery has to be tracking and moving like a man with a rifle tracks and moves his gun following a moving figure—and maybe fires slightly in front of the moving figure to make the shot. or 2.) the artillery has to be previously sighted into a particular spot in front of the moving. then the gun fires when some predetermined calculations is triggered that includes the truck’s speed and the distance to the pre determined spot.
I’m inclined to think that the way they do it byo of option 2.) but I don’t know.
all that has to be built into the artillery.which means it probably is built into the artillery.
amazing.
