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.

No there was another attack on the port - with Storm Shadows. The same ships were hit, presumably as the repairs from the fist attack were being completed. Next up, Kersh bridge.
Most likely Aim-9L/M missiles, which are no longer required for Canada's Wartime Reserves.
These missiles can be carried by the MiG-29s donated by Poland, F-16s which will be donated in a few months, as well as NASAMs.
“Desperate air strike attempts by Russian Su-34 fighter jet on Ukrainian-backed forces who had settled at Grayvoron checkpoint in Belgorod region.
Su-34 flies at ultra-low altitude to drop high-explosive free-falling bombs.
The target was clearly not hit.”

This took place a few days ago during the raid of the pro-Ukrainian Russian volunteers on Belgorod region.
Here's some additional info:
The bombs are "retarded" (high drag), not free-falling.
Here's a video from Vietnam showing Mk-82 Snakeye:

It's shocking the pilots missed the target(s). Low altitude/high drag deliveries are the easiest for hitting the target.
The second aircraft dropped his bombs far to the left of the first aircraft's bombs. This is to avoid the bomb fragments from the first aircraft's bombs. They can take up to 30 seconds to fall to the ground.
We used a "rule of thumb" for follow on bombs: 30 seconds or 3000 feet offset.
The Su-34s dispensed self-protection flares during the delivery. The flares can prevent a MANPAD launch. However, if the MANPAD is launched prior to flares, it could "reject" the flares and still hit the aircraft.
The video was taken by a UKR drone monitoring the border crossing.
Perhaps the drone operator was passing real-time info to the "Russian volunteers" on the ground.
It’s shocking the pilots missed the target(s). Low altitude/high drag deliveries are the easiest for hitting the target.
It was most likely faked by Russia for propaganda purposes. Since it was just for PR they didn’t want to bomb their own.
I believe you are correct.
There is no reason for the "Russian volunteers" to remain at or near the border crossing.
Their return to Ukraine would have been done at night.
Putin delivers speech on the destruction of Western society and it will blow you away!
Killing civilians is definitely a Christian value, cutting off heads, Christian value, torturing, Christian value, looting, Christian value
Got it going to check my Bible for them sure they are there
Kadyrovite bases in Mariupol just hit by Ukrainian cruise missiles.
Bakhmut: Continued successful Ukrainian advances today on both flanks.
Caesaropapism. Nothing more needs to be said.
The vandals need a year or two in prison.
Any update on Ivan Khurs?
Possibly promoted to submarine?

The #Russian forces destroyed the dam of the #Karlivskyi reservoir in #Donetsk Oblast yesterday. Russian channels cheering on.
I keep hearing hysteria over nukes. Look at what the Russian forces are doing NOW. #ArmUkraine

The Boat will be Deployed with its Task being the Protection of Rivers and Estuaries near the Black Sea Coast; the Ceremony was attended by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Valery Zaluzhny who had recently “Squashed Rumors” by Pro-Russian Media that he had been Severely Injured by a Russian Attack in either Kherson or Bakhmut, along with him was Deputy Minister of Defense, Volodymyr Gavrylov and Chief of General Staff, Lieutenant General Serhiy Shaptala.

There was video posted of it returning to Sevastopol this morning with no visible damage. Hard to say if the video was new or old.
