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

DECOYED: Ukraine has employed US-made ADM-160 Miniature Air Launched Decoys in the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses. ADM-160s may have been used in the recent UKR ‘ambush’ of a pair of Russian Su-35 and Su-34 strike aircraft as well as downing 2 Mi-8 Electronic Warfare helos.
$500 Million Worth Ammo Blown Up!

@rst_like
The value of the ammunition stored and destroyed yesterday by the #RussianArmy in the city of #Khmelnitsky could reach 500$ million. Any idea of who paid for that ammunition? Wouldn't it be better invested in hospitals and schools in #Europe and the #USA or elsewhere?!
DETAILS EMERGE about UKR’s 13 MAY “SAM Ambush” of 4 RU aircraft. Of those shot down, 2 were modern Su-34 and Su-35 strike aircraft. Of the helos downed, one was an advanced Mi-8M TPR electronic warfare variant; the other an Mi-8 combat rescue platform. https://kyivpost.com/post/17094
From Kyiv Post: "In the hours following the crashes, Russian civilian social media – despite strict government rules supposedly banning the placement of most military-related content on the internet by private citizens – was swamped with video, photographs and from-the-ground accounts of a missile smacking and setting ablaze a helicopter above a village named Klintsy, another helicopter downed in a rural region in the nearby Unecha district, Su-34 debris burning fiercely on the ground on the edge of a forest in the Starodub region, and the Su-35 pouring smoke and falling out of control above the village Suretsky Muravei."
..."International air war analysts generally confirmed (AFU Colonel Yuriy) Ihnat’s account that probably a Russian strike element en route to Ukraine had been intercepted, pointing to confirmed Russian reports that one of the helicopters shot down was an Mi-8MTPR, an aircraft loaded with electronics specifically designed to jam and spoof air defense radars, including homing radars carried by anti-aircraft missiles aimed at Russian jets or helicopters."
..."Most reports said the protection Mi-8MTPR helicopter was shot down first as it – unsuccessfully – led the two jets and attempted to jam missiles aimed their way. Reportedly, after a Ukrainian missile or missiles took out the helicopter, Ukrainian gunners turned their radars onto the Su-34 and Su-35 to shoot them down next. When the Russians sent an Mi-8 search and rescue helicopter sent to search for the lost air crew, according to most accounts, the AFU destroyed it as well. "
..."All four shoot-down locations are upwards of 40 kilometers inside Russia from Ukraine’s northern border – a difficult but not impossible shot for Ukrainian crews deployed to the far north of the Chernihiv region and operating Norwegian-US NASAMS anti-aircraft missiles, the Russia-associated Donbass Today (DT) information platform reported. The maximum range of NASAMS according to open sources is 50 kilometers, making the four shoot-down sites theoretically within reach of the missile, were AFU operators to have set it up very near the Russian border.
First delivered to Ukraine in November 2022, the Norway- and US-developed NASAMS (Norwegian Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System) is an anti-aircraft system that fires a modified version of America’s best air-to-air missile, called an AMRAAM, from a ground launcher. Ukraine’s military has praised the semi-mobile launch system and tracking radars (all carried on flatbed trucks and taking several hours to set up or rig for transport) as highly effective, with a 100 percent kill rate."
Most likely Aim-120A/B missiles.
These can be used by NASAMs and the newly arrived MiG-29s from Poland.
Supposedly, the UK had over 2000 of these missiles sitting on the shelf.

Khmelnitsky:

It was a old (Soviet) oil depot.
1. NATO never stores so much ammo in one location I know from personal experience.
2. If it had have been munitions there would not have been so much black smoke and far more secondary explosions, again from personal experience.
“hundreds of air defence missiles”
“Most likely Aim-120A/B missiles.”
That is going to sting.
Maybe a new phase in the war for Russian Aerospace forces.
Who would have guessed that Aim-120s would have "Home-on-Jam" capability?

The people who bought you “Kherson is Russian forever” now present “Crimea bridge is unbreakable”.
So. The kiss of death basically.

It’s pretty clear by now Ukraine is targeting the command of the Russian armed forces with these long range strikes. This is why we are not seeing huge explosions. I bet names of dead generals and colonels will be circulating soon.
If the pieces are behind Russian lines thane there is not much they can update.
#Russia is now visually confirmed to have lost 400 aircraft, helicopters and military grade U(C)AVs since it began its invasion of #Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

Anecdotally, I seem to have heard more than 11 reports of Su-24 losses, but that is just a guess.
