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.

And now we know.
“Well, there’s the final confirmation. Unless they had the guts to put a patriot radar close to the border (unlikely considering it would have popped up on Russian RWR’s), this pretty much confirms that Ukrainian PAC-2 is acquiring targets across link16 datalink. Exciting stuff.”
“Russian Air Force affiliated channel Fighterbomber reports that all helicopters and fighter jets downed on May 13 were shot down by a Ukrainian Patriot air defense system and 11 pilots died. That day Russia lost a Su-34, Su-35 & two Mi-8s in Russia’s Bryansk region.“

“Haven’t seen much discussion about whether the Patriot system may have been responsible for the recent Russian aircraft losses, so here is my take. This looks to me like a possible use case for PAC-2 from well within Ukrainian territory using link16. ”

Where is that black kettle?
“Without a hint of irony over Ukraine, Putin rages against countries that meddle in other states”
“Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed countries that he said were trying to “impose their dominance” and rules on others, saying Wednesday that those that do were destabilizing the world and “completely ignoring the sovereignty, national interests, traditions of other states.””
Wow.

Ummm... earth to Speedy:
It’s Over.
Lavrov:
“The collective West does not hide its intention to inflict a strategic defeat on us. The Kyiv regime is being used as an anti-Russian battering ram, which is being pumped up with NATO weapons.”
You don’t say, Dipstick.
Getting close to 2k tanks. If only the Ukraine had set a better trap for the Russians. What’s worrisome is that the tanks may be necessary against the Chicoms. The weapon appears obsolete with the easy ability to take them out.
If there were only a few submarines patrolling around Hawaii just before Pearl Harbor was attacked.
The only “attack on Europe” has been the Biden regime’s destruction of the Russian pipeline serving Germany — and our attempt to false-flag Russia for allegedly blowing up its own pipeline.
The tank is not obsolete. If used with proper tactics it can still be a war winner.
It's Over.
Please don't spoil Speedy’s daily pep rally by trying to interject reality into the conversation.
Speedy calculating Russian losses
“The West is desperate to avoid having any meaningful discussion or review of the Battle of Bakhmut because it was such a massive loss. Think about it — a small “private” paramilitary force backed by former Chef with no military experience, forced Ukraine’s NATO-trained and supplied Army to retreat.”
“This is a very important point. Conventional military doctrine stipulates that an army attacking an entrenched force will need at least three times more soldiers than the defending force.. Looks like Russia is very unconventional. The Wagner Group’s 32,000 fighters defeated a Ukrainian force that employed over 120,000 troops, inflicting 70% casualties on the Ukrainians. Russia is writing new chapters for military academies and war colleges on how to attack and defeat a numerically superior force entrenched in fortifications. Russia was not fighting Afghan shepherds or Iraqi tribesmen armed with AK-47s. It faced off with a NATO proxy force, equipped with modern weaponry, and beat it. There is not enough lipstick in the world to paint this pig and make it look pretty.”
NATO ISR flights over the Black Sea and off Crimea are back in a big way today. Looks like Putin might have tried to shoot down Forte10 again. Fighter escorts for Rivet Joint.
