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.

Calling someone a RuZZian on FR is considered an insult.
Ukraine’s offensive has now liberated more land than RuZZia captured this entire year.

The Russian military, the second largest military in the world, may not be what it looks like. Lies and systematic corruptions may in fact have dragged Russia into this war with Ukraine, which has been heavily backed up by the US and NATO. We will present the evidence, you make your own decision, because the Russian Army, is not what you think.

Designed to support the U.S. Army Captains Career Course, “Understanding Combined Arms Warfare” defines and outlines the important aspects of modern combined arms operations. This is not a complete history of combined arms warfare. It is intended to highlight the most important aspects of the subject.
The beginning of the documentary establishes a common understanding of combined arms warfare by discussing doctrinal and equipment developments in World War I. The second part compares the development of French and German Army mechanization during the interwar period and describes how each country fared during the Battle of France in 1940. The film concludes by showing how the United States applied combined arms operations in the European Theater in World War II.

[ First-Class Execution! Ukrainians Capture Tactical Heights And Collapse Russian Defense ]
••Day 473: Jun 11
Today there is a lot of big news from the southern front.
If yesterday we received only verbal confirmations that Ukrainians have conducted a series of successful offensive actions and established control over multiple settlements at once, then today, Ukrainian fighters have finally started releasing footage that confirmed these gains.
First of all, volunteer detachment Arey raised the Ukrainian flag above Neskuchne. This is the village that Ukrainians managed to secure by establishing control over the tactical heights around the settlement, and basically smoking Russians out of the village by unleashing devastating fire that did not allow Russians to move even inside the village itself.
Simultaneously, fighters of the 68th Jager Brigade raised the Ukrainian flag above Blahodatne. This is the village that Ukrainians managed to capture without a single shot being fired.
Ukrainians understood that these Russian positions were inconsequential, and by attacking Urozhayne, they created an extremely high risk of encirclement of Russian troops and forced them to retreat.
And Russians made a very prudent decision by retreating because today, Russian sources started reporting about further advancement of the relentless Ukrainians assault units.
If yesterday the fights were taking place in the tree line in front of the settlement, then today in the morning, Ukrainians breached the last defense line protecting this settlement and entered the northern part. So, If Russians in Blahodatne had not retreated, they would have been taken into a pocket and destroyed in a matter of hours.
The freshest reports from the fighters that are currently storming Russian defense indicate that Ukrainians made another push along the hills, which caused an immediate collapse of the next Russian fortifications on the line.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see 2 things. First of all, Ukrainians have completed the operation for capturing the first cluster of heights.
And secondly, Russians in Makarivka found themselves in exactly the same situation as the settlements above - they are staying under Ukrainian hills and suffering from a devastating fire.
That is why the Russian command once again decided to conduct a tactical regrouping to more reliable positions. Several hours ago, the Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Defense reported that Makarivka was successfully liberated by Ukrainian forces.
But this is not the end of the good news. The most recent reports indicate that Ukrainians finally pushed Russian from Levadne and entered a new ridge of tactical heights by moving toward Pryiutne. As you can see, now Russian forces in Novodanylivka and Rivnopil are at risk of encirclement and will highly likely abandon their positions.
And this is a very painful blow to the Russian defense because, as you remember, here, Russians had the most powerful fortifications that Ukrainians failed to penetrate in the first series of attacks.
In a desperate attempt to slow down Ukrainian advances, Russian forces blew up a dam south of Staromalynivka. By emptying the reservoir, the water levels in the lowlands will increase and prevent Ukrainians from quickly moving their forces between the eastern and western banks of the river.
Such an action is also a very strong signal that Russians abandoned Urozhaine because this is the only settlement on the eastern bank in the region, and with the flooding, they simply would not be able to get additional reinforcement or retreat.
In the meantime, Ukrainians are already testing new lines of attack in order to widen the bridgehead further and significantly increase the scale of their operation.
Today, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians conducted a series of reconnaissance-in-force operations near Novodonetske and Novomaiorske.
This is another indicator that Ukrainians have taken Urozhaine because such attacks would help Ukrainians to even out the front line precisely on the level of this settlement.
At the moment, the offensive actions continue, and if everything goes according to the plan, we can expect the collapse of the Russian Novodarivka-Rivnopil-Staromaiorske tactical group.
••The main force is not yet in use - mostly just High-Mobility Vehicles like Humvees.
The water from the blown dam at Klichove will not be a significant obstacle.
Russia sending reinforcements from Kherson where they arena longer needed because of the flood.
The UA is still quite far from the 2nd and main defense line.

All PMCs in Russia must sign contract with the Shoigu’s RGF. Including Wagners. The RGF wants to give the orders and not have Prigozhin go off on his own, doing whatever he wants, and to get rid of him entirely. Prigozhin’s commanders and troops all say they will not sigh any contract with the RGF.
==
Denys, the leader of the RLF, asks returning Russian POWS to join them. One guy from Wagners joined. Prigozhin named him and called him a traitor. This gives Russian POWs some options.

Fake News: Russia releases photos of 4 de-ming vehicles, a pair of Leopards, a Max vehicle and a Bradley destroyed in a new convoy, but in reality lots of photoshopping of one de-mining vehicle, plus inserting others put in one photo - all from the 12 vehicle convoy hit several days ago.
The vehicles were imaged from different angles and perspectives and placed in one photo.

••Five more Patriot systems will be manufactured for Ukraine. According to Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes, these anti-aircraft missile systems are planned to be produced before the end of 2024. In general, the company decided to increase the production of Patriot to 12 systems per year.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Ukraine has finalized the Patriot software so that it can track and destroy hypersonic missiles.

The Ukrainian drone commander Madyar was able to rise the record 2,7M $. in one week for 20000 drones for Ukrainian army. Madyar is the guy I trust. Soon there will be more “Jaga-Jaga”

Russian officials said everything is going according to the Plan.

I am surprised that they are parked close together.
Obviously, they are not worried about counter-battery fire.
"The Ukrainian Army has taken Novomaiorske."
"Soldiers of the Zaporizhzhia Territorial Defense Brigade celebrate their unit liberating Novodarivka."
Ordinary men, doing extraordinary things.
Glory to the Heroes! They have earned my respect.
