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.

Brutal.

“Russian Elite Is Souring on Putin’s Chances of Winning His War”
“Even some who support the invasion and want to intensify the fight against Ukraine have become deflated about Russia’s prospects.“
“A mood of deepening gloom is gripping Russia’s elite about prospects for President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine, with even the most optimistic seeing a “frozen” conflict as the best available outcome now for the Kremlin.
Many within the political and business elite are tired of the war and want it to stop, though they doubt Putin will halt the fighting, according to seven people familiar with the situation, who asked not to be identified because the matter is sensitive. While nobody’s willing to stand up to the president over the invasion, absolute belief in his leadership has been shaken by it, four of the people said.”
“Russian channel complains about the quality of the tires used by military trucks, which is a particular problem in flooded areas. They say they can only replace the wheels after 52k km, but the tire below has only driven 42k km.”

“Update from Ukraine | The Counterattack Start is not good | Leopard-2 Convoy was Ambushed”
How DARE you toss reality into our Fantasy thread. Shame on you!
Let me speculate again here.
If.
If the UKES were given enough f-16s and support with training, could they achieve enough “air superiority” at the front lines to make good use of the AC Warthogs that our own air force seems hell-bent on decommissioning and retiring, despite local congress efforts to keep the fleet in service? What would be the harm in sending them to the UKES if we are just going to park them to rot here in the desert anyway?
Change my mind?
2k tanks. Aren’t the Russians going to need them against the Chicoms? Too late now.
Even if it’s the obsolete equipment. The tank crews manning the old ones must have been considered expendable from the beginning.
We should have allowed Ukraine citizens to enlist in our military all along. War breaks out they could return home trained on our equipment. Then they’d be 4k tanks lost. We should have helped set a trap for the Russians. Will/can we do it for Taiwan. Gordon Chang the Chicom-hater, said the Chicoms are more likely to attack Japan.
