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.

Was the dam actually demolished?
So far, it has not been. Both sides are accusing each other of laying charges on the dam.
Who controls the land around the dam?
If it is Russia, then there’s’ no way the UA can sneak sappers in to lay charges on the dam without the Russians knowing, or, as a minimum, removing them.
I don’t watch the news so my ignorance is likely my own fault. But the question I have is why is this war taking so long to resolve itself? Is this sort of a situation similar to what happened in the Balkans in the 90s and will go on for years?
NATO is not what it once was apparently.
“This is possible the dumbest kill video of this whole war and I really mean it.
This Russian Ka-52 attack chopper crew thought that they have targeted and destroyed Leopard 2 tanks (you read this correctly).
Even a semi-professional can clearly see that this are agricultural harvester and sprayer machines.
And as if this is not dumb enough, Russian regime bloggers like Kotsnews plus Ria Novosti issued this footage claiming exactly that.”

Amazing
Texas can't protect its border towns, Speedy.
To any normal American this is a lot bigger problem than the Ukraine Cartel's border operations against Russia. In fact I am sure the Russian border is a lot more secure than the border between Mexico and Texas.
According to this article there have been 617,000 "border encounters" this year (given the length of the Texas border it's likely at least half of them were in Texas.)
Border encounters exceed 617,000 so far in fiscal year 2023, a record high.
But, because of the moronic and treasonous policies of the Biden junta, which you support, we'll probably ship another $20 to the creepy Zelinskyy character, and continue to ignore the border that matters most to Americans.
One would hope that this especially concerns Americans who claim some connection with Texas, such as yourself. (But then, maybe you are just a paid shill sitting in a basement in the Hague promotting your blog?)
It’s the Democrat’s private army.

The act of sabotage may lead to “very serious consequences,” Dmitry Peskov has warned
Ukrainian forces sabotaged the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam in Russia’s Kherson Region in a bid to deprive Crimea of drinking water and distract from Kiev’s faltering counteroffensive, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov claimed on Tuesday.The dam was partially destroyed early on Tuesday morning, sending torrents of water downstream and flooding towns and villages along the path of the Dnieper River.
“We are talking about a deliberate sabotage by the Ukrainian side,” Peskov told reporters. “This sabotage could potentially lead to very serious consequences for several tens of thousands of inhabitants of the region, environmental consequences and consequences of a different nature, which have yet to be established.”
Peskov claimed that one of the key goals of the attack was to deprive Crimea of water. Crimea’s 2 million residents largely receive their water from the North Crimean Canal, which is fed from the reservoir above the Kakhovka dam.

“This sabotage is also connected with the fact that, having launched large-scale offensive operations two days ago, the Ukrainian armed forces are not achieving their goals,” Peskov continued. Russia’s Defense Ministry has said it repelled several large-scale attacks in the southern sector of the front in recent days. These “offensive actions are choking,” Peskov stated.
Ukrainian officials and their European backers have accused Russia of blowing up the dam, with European Council President Charles Michel calling the attack “a war crime.” Moscow “strongly rejects” the accusation, Peskov said.
While the flooding now makes it difficult for Ukrainian forces to cross the Dnieper and attack Russia’s defensive lines, the destruction of the dam also appears to aid a number of Ukraine’s key objectives. The flooding mostly threatens the eastern bank of the river, where Russian troops withdrew to last year amid concerns that the Ukrainian military would blow up the dam.
With the dam destroyed, the level of the Dnieper has fallen further upstream, including at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant. Ukrainian troops made several attempts to cross the river to recapture the plant from Russian forces last year, and lowering the water level would remove a major obstacle to future attempts. Additionally, the Soviet-era plant depends on water from the Dnieper to cool its reactors and its spent fuel rods.
The Ukrainian military conducted a test strike on the dam using an American-supplied HIMARS launcher last year, Ukrainian General Andrey Kovalchuk told the Washington Post in December.
Two months earlier, Russia’s envoy to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, warned the UN Security Council that Kiev’s forces were considering a “reckless” attack on the dam with sea mines or missiles. “The authorities in Kiev and their Western backers will bear full responsibility for all the consequences of such a devastating scenario,” Nebenzia cautioned.

“Russians have released a video in which they claim a Russian Ka-52 helicopter strikes on “Leopard 2 tanks.” Only for some reason this “Leopard” looks more like a tractor. For example, John Deere 4830.”

As we suspected.
““The United States government has intelligence that is leaning toward Russia as the culprit of the attack on the dam in Ukraine, according to two U.S. officials and one Western official” “

What a Joke.
“Russian MoD published a video earlier today allegedly showing a Ka-52 heli firing at a “Leopard-2” tank, which they called “the first video evidence” of its kind.
However, the Russian Voienniy Osvedomitel channel recognized this to not be a Leopard-2, and not even a tank, but a regular agriculture vehicle:
“We do not want to say anything, however, the vehicle in the footage published by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation with its silhouette does not look like any tank at all.
However, these silhouettes are most reminiscent of combine harvesters. This is evidenced by the characteristic high-mounted unloading augers (pipes), which, due to their location, are clearly not guns. Also, the “tanks” do not have any signs of “turrets”.
In the second frame of the rocket impact, 4 wheels of a tractor similar to a John Deere 4830 sprayer are clearly visible.””

First comment: "Don't be silly, tanks don't fly. That's clearly an F-16."

Because the Biden administration is legitimate and trustworthy, and NBC News has a great record of truth-telling too.
It's not like Biden has lied about everything from the cause of his Son's death to his last job, or that NBC News wasn't the prime TV source for the 4 year Russia Collusion Hoax that destroyed much of the Trump presidency.
It's just so strange to see people here on Free Republic acting like the last 8 years of lies out all these people didn't happen, and believing what they say so naively. Quoting it, even.
Charley Speedy, are you OK?
