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.

"Do not think of the Russian lines in Ukraine the same as World War 1, where both sides built elaborate defensive works across continuous lines. Russians lines are uneven and often poorly manned. By responding to threats in the front, they commit forces that cannot be readily moved as the battlefield changes with breakthroughs elsewhere. This is not unfolding as quickly as some of us want, but it is inevitable that they will be overwhelmed."

“TU-95ms bombers detected in the RU airspace now. Kh101/555 to be launched around 01:00 a.m. towards Ukraine.”
@EuromaidanPR 7m
+ 3 russian MIG-31 jets, “unstoppable” Kinzhal missiles carriers took off to join the team of 10 russian TU-95ms bombers.
I have dropped bombs on both...many years ago.
“Sergey Goryachev”
AKA
Sure-y Gone-achev.
“Major General Sergey Goryachev has died.” (CoS of the 35th CAA)
In the Russian system, a Major General is a one star (2 is Lieutenant General, 3 is Colonel General, 4 is just General).
But it has been a while since Russian General Officers were being killed off or captured. An indication of the new phase of the war we are in.
Maybe some of the staff went with him in the strike.
“Goryachev was a career VDV officer and reportedly began the war as the commander of the 5th Tank Brigade before getting promoted. The source says the situation is difficult in the AO of Russia’s 37th and 60th Motorized Rifle Brigades.”
Very Dead VuZZians.
In the Russian system, what does a Chief of Staff do?
“US is providing up to $325 million in more military aid for #Ukraine, a defense official tells VOA, in a package expected to be announced tomorrow.
PDA 40 to include:
*#Strykers & #Bradleys that can replace those damaged & destroyed
*Munitions for NASAMS & #HIMARS”

Ouch.
“You don’t have to be a body language expert to understand what Putin currently thinks about his Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu... “

In the Russian system, what does a Chief of Staff do?
Same. Likely co-located with staff of the 35th CAA, equivalent to an American Division-level Staff. So likely more than 10,000 on that sector of the front just had a hole blown in their Command, Control (Battle Management). Let’s hope they got the S-3 section (operations) with him.
“Russian milblogger WarGonzo reports that Russian forces failed to retake Makarivka today.
“Contrary to forecasts, it was not possible to recapture the village by the end of the day. We hope that tomorrow our attempts in this direction will be crowned with success.””

Just warms your heart.
“Velyka Novosilka - Staromlynivka axis. Storozheve: What Zoka means here is villages empty of alive Russians! Two more dead ones near the same abandoned Ural-4320 seen in tweet 14+16. Captured yesterday by 88th Air Assault Battalion of 35 Marine Brigade.”

@visegrad24 4m
“The U.S. will replace the 16 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles that have been damaged or destroyed during the Ukrainian counteroffensive... It will be announced in a USD 325 mln military aid package that will also contain Strykers & more NASAMS and HIMARS missiles.”
Rapid regeneration.
President Zelensky is making the rounds to rustle up support, and we are just a few days from the next Ramstein Conference. Russia has nothing like that kind of service behind it.
Oops, Let’s hope they got the G-3 section (operations) with him. (not S-3, with a GO in charge)
60 KIA
“7. Velyka Novosilka - Staromlynivka axis.
Neskuchne:
2/2 Interrogation of the POW cont.
He confirms his unit was there 7 months
UAF states the POW is a lone survivor from his sub-unit, Despite being offered surrender the others did not. Deputy Batt CO + 60 men KIA. h/t “

I wonder how they located him. Hopefully, it was during a staff meeting.
They are busy now. Everybody has to come up on the net and talk. A lot of folks have to come up out of their holes, and move around.
