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.

The Forte 10 flight path that PIF posted could be a Search and Rescue (SAR) pattern.
Whatever the status of the Ivan Khurs, we do appear to be searching for something out there. The RQ-4 is a pretty valuable asset, so whatever they are looking for must be high value intel or search and rescue.
The returning ship was a minesweeper - if you look closely, you can see the de-mining device mounted high on the stern.
Interesting rumors that it was the sister ship that was hit while illegally transiting from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea.
There are only 2 of them in the Russian navy -
I saw an image that was possibly of the damage (gaping hole in port side just ahead of dead aft), but was not possible to tell whose ship where or when.

"MYSTERY DEEPENS? @MT_Anderson reports overhead imagery indicates that the Russian AGI ๐๐ท๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ฉ๐ถ๐ณ๐ด has returned to her berth in Russian-occupied Sevastopol. ๐๐ท๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ฉ๐ถ๐ณ๐ด had previously been assumed damaged in an attack by UKR unmanned surface vessels (USVs)."
Forte10โs flights for 2 days in a row over that area shows that something big happened. The drone did the same thing when the Moskva was hit and sunk. Rivet Joint also paid a visit to the area yesterday.
I’d guess that the Abrams Units would finish training this Fall.

“Abrams M1A1 have arrived in Grafenwรถhr, Germany. The USA have pledged 31 to be delivered to Ukraine.”
“Kadyrovite bases in Mariupol just hit by Ukrainian cruise missiles.”

“Russians has set up checkpoints to block access to Azovstal. They are bringing in local workers to help clear debris in an effort to rescue Russian soldiers.
I wonder if they targeted underground structures. It might be why they are bringing in people, so they can dig them out. Storm shadows have bunker busting capabilities.”

NY Times today (26 May 2023): If a Divided Germany Could Join NATO, Why Not Ukraine.
West Germany joined in 1955, with outstanding territorial disputes yet unresolved.
Austria was also divided, the Soviets left on condition that Austria could not join NATO.

“There must be a reckoning for Russia. Their targeting of hospitals and civilians wonโt stop until theyโve been defeated and their war criminals at all levels are held accountable.”
@general_ben interview with @NickFerrariLBC:
“Western leaders must define outcome, that is Ukraine must win.
Back to 1991 borders
Crimea critical terrain
Prosecute war crimes
Future security = membership NATO & EU”
If Ukraine gets 300 mile Taurus cruise missiles from Germany, they may as well get ATACMS.
@KyivIndependent 1h
A German Defense Ministry spokesperson confirmed that Ukraine has submitted a request asking Germany to supply long-range Taurus cruise missiles, Spiegel reported.
And there are still no NATO forces based in the former territory of East Germany. This is based on the treaty made with Gorbachev that Russian propagandist try to say we broke by expanding NATO. But we have abided by it to this day, even though it was made obsolete by Poland and the Baltics NATO membership.
Under the same model, NATO bases in Kharkiv, Kyiv, Kherson and Odesa would be fine.
“NATO bases in Kharkiv, Kyiv, Kherson and Odesa would be fine.”
And of course, Sevastopol and Mariupol...
