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.

Some regulars believe
What the Dutch boys weave
Into their daily bread.
Speedy's speed,
We must concede,
Begins each daily thread.
The regulars grouse
That I'm a louse
To tally, like ORYX' dead
The seconds used
To post, amused,
Those deadly seconds instead.
They might be right,
Or wrong, in spite
Of what the Dutch boys said.
Please note: I had my mommy type this for me, because I did not attend kindergarten.
Thank you for this and all the great clips you link/post.

In Ukraine’s South, Fierce Fighting and Deadly Costs
The offensive in the south was the most highly anticipated military action of the summer. Ukraine is making gains, but the fighting is grinding, grueling and steep in casualties.

“Putin Cops to ‘Significant Losses,’ Inferior Weapons in Stunning War Admission”
“In a rare admission, Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged Friday that Russia is sustaining “significant losses” in the war on Ukraine.
“In recent days, we have seen significant losses in Ukraine, they exceed the classical figure,” he said, according to the Kremlin.
The Russian president also confessed that Russian forces were dealing with artillery problems, adding in his remarks that “Yes, we still do not have enough of these modern weapons, but the defense industry, the country’s military-industrial complex is developing rapidly.”
The dispirited comments about Moscow’s prospects in the war come just as Ukraine has launched a series of counteroffensives to push Russian forces out of the country.”

It appears Strelkov/Girkin has either been beaten, been having sleepless or has some serious problems. Here he is with bruised eyes with bags and a bottle of Vodka.

The offensive is a few days old, still in its early stages, and Ukraine has not shown commitment to one set of objectives yet. They still have options on where to push and for now can switch goals if the opportunity presents. Which means, the Russian command can not be sure how to respond, or fully commit to any defensive response. Ukraine still has the initiative.
At the minimum, all Ukraine has to do is take back territory that shows they can deliver on what was discussed with allies, and hurt the Russian hold in Eastern Ukraine. If the operational and political goals are achieved, as long as Ukraine can make good on its losses, it is still a win for Ukraine. Ukraine is definitely taking and going to take more losses than they want. No way around it.
For the rest of the year, any Ukrainian win is a long term Russian loss.
Ukraine continues assaulting Russian positions tonight in Zaporizhzhia

Russian war bloggers still whining that Ukraine is making final preparations for DDay style crossing of Dnipro to launch operations in occupied southern Kherson region.
I bet that most of the Ukrainian troops in any Dnipro “D Day” crossing from west bank Kherson region will push to Zaporizhzhia region instead of Crimea-Kherson border to assist in cutting off Putin’s land bridge from Mariupol to Crimea.
You would be well-advised to not listen to the doggerel of the Putinists.
EVERY SINGLE THING they have claimed about the situation has proven to be false. They claimed Ukraine couldn’t stop the advance on Kyiv. They claimed RuSSia wasn’t losing much equipment or troops. They claimed the RuSSian convoy wasn’t breaking down. They claimed the withdrawal from Kharkiv wasn’t happening. They claimed the withdrawal from Kherson wasn’t happening. Yet reality corrected them.
These people are not grounded in reality. They listen to the “Dr.” Turley’s and the RuSSian-propaganda bloviators on YouTube and think they’re front line soldiers against the deep state. But they’d be the first ones to turn over friends and family if they deep state ever knocked on their door to take them away.
They are not intelligent. Everything they said THEN was false. Everything they say NOW is false.
Appreciate your comments, my goal is to get these guys all on the record, realize they will never admit defeat or just change handle and start again
Their obsession with Biden, homo….is fascinating and has nothing to do with why Putin invaded. They project, deflect, and when all else fails they attack things like intelligence which is sad.
They say this post is all BS, yet spend an inordinate and frankly concerning amount of time on it, doing calculations that no one but they care about
I hope the Ukrainians win and push the orcs back to their soon to be decreasing border if not that does not change my support for their fight against imperialist war criminal invaders. I have sadness for Ukrainian loses and for those poor Russians sent to fight this war for putins dreams.
Putin and his supporters can rot in hell for all I care
“Since Sunday, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have not yet used the main strike units assembled for the offensive. Judging by the information from the front, this may happen in the next day or has already happened,”
May God please protect and bless those brave Ukrainian patriots, and guide their hands to achieve their mission.
Please join me to pray for them, and their success.
Forgive me for being equal opportunity.
For dispelling Kremlin narratives so well he was roughed up for it,
Igor Vsevolodovich Girkin is awarded the.
Flak Means You Are Over the Target Award.
They will take the Russians keyboard successes propaganda as a win, funny to hear 100-200 meters is minuscule yet it was proof of overwhelming success elsewhere like bakmut.
Regardless this will be a tough slog, losses will happen, valadar anyone????
My take on the video making the rounds is that those vehicles are not all destroyed and some reports say leopard is already back in service, who knows
Will wait to see. As the line goes nothing is happening till it does
I guess claiming a win on propaganda is a win for them, time will tell.
Russia has proven it is willing to take steep loses, for how long is the question. This is not the Soviet Union and this is not the “great patriotic war”.
