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.

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.

[ Mission Successful | Full Ahead: Ukrainians Capitalize on Tactical Superiority ]
••Day 479: Jun 17
Today the most intense clashes once again took place in the Orikhiv direction.
Here, Ukrainians tried to immediately capitalize on yesterday’s gains and develop their success further.
As you remember, Ukrainians have cleared a 1km wide forest between Zherebianky and Pitykhatky, which secured Ukrainian flanks against a sudden counterattack from the west, and set proper conditions for assaulting the next settlement on the line - Piatykhatky.
Russian sources reported that prior to the attack, Ukrainians covered the whole area with a smokescreen.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that this area is located in the lowlands, which is a perfect condition for the smokescreen as it just fills the hollow space and does not dissipate for a long time.
The first target of Ukrainian forces became the farms north of the settlement.
Russian sources reported that Ukrainians used the same tactic as yesterday.
They used several armored fighting vehicles to quickly deliver the assault units right to the contact line and immediately withdrew, while several tanks in the distance provided cover for the assault units and returning vehicles.
By attacking this strong point, Ukrainians not only gained a second foothold just on the doorstep of Piatykhatky but also fixed Russian troops in the opposite part of the settlement relative to the second attack.
The second attack was conducted from the forest. According to Russian sources, here Ukrainians used a different tactic and mostly used just infantry.
This is not surprising because, firstly, Ukrainians were attacking from the forest, and forests are convenient for accumulating personnel, not equipment; and secondly, Ukrainians were already close to the settlement, meaning that they immediately engaged in street fighting, where armor is usually not very useful.
Russian forces struggled to keep Ukrainians out of the outskirts, and after several minutes of fighting, Ukrainians had already entered the western part.
Russian sources reported that Ukrainians filled all of their multiple-launch rocket systems with mines and scattered these mines all over the approaches to the settlement, which is why Russian reserves were afraid to launch a counterattack.
This left Russian forces only the artillery to rely on.
Due to the heavy artillery fire, Ukrainians temporarily retreated back to the forest, but also quickly came back and continued fighting in the center of the settlement.
Some analysts say that Ukrainians did not withstand the fire and retreated due to loses until they received reinforcements, while other analysts stated that Ukrainians learned from yesterday’s battle how the Russian artillery works.
They decided to trigger a mass unloading on the empty region and when empty Grads drove off to the nearest ammo station to reload, they used this time to move in an assault Russian positions with more freedom.
It seems like the second version is correct because shortly after the intense artillery fire ended, Russian forces were pushed out of the settlement.
Russian sources reported that Russian forces conducted a tactical retreat and assumed more reliable positions on the hills around this settlement while simultaneously destroying the enemy with fire.
In the end, the settlement was declared a grey zone, and as you already noticed, so far, whenever the village becomes a grey zone, it is confirmed to be under full Ukrainian control the next day.
It is possible that Russians will still decide to launch an even bigger counterattack and retake Piatykhatky, however, right now, it looks like the Ukrainian attack was successful.
Such a development automatically collapses Russian defensive positions along the gully in front of Stepove and Shcherbaky and gives significantly more freedom in the fields.
This puts Russians in Zherebianky in a very inconvenient situation because all the pressure now falls on this settlement. Here, Ukrainians can open at least 3 axes of advance: from the forest, northern gully, and southern gully.
On the one hand, unlike Pitykhatky, this village is located on the highlands, giving Russians an advantage. But on the other hand, this village is 5 times smaller than Pitykhatky, making it more vulnerable to artillery devastation and comprehensive attacks from multiple directions.
••UA is now using IFVs and de-mining vehicles instead of tanks. Tanks will pay a significant role later when breaching the Orc’s Second line of defense. But without F-16’s they will be unbleto penetrate that line using only tanks as they will be mostly lost.
Russia sending lots of KA-52 tank killers to Berdyansk, whose missiles have a range of ~7km.
Russian forces are disbursed along the 150km front line because they do not know where the main attack will fall.

NYT: It was Russia that blew up the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. New York Times journalists came to this conclusion after talking with experts. The base of the dam, 20 meters high and up to 40 meters wide, took on most of the load of the dam.
There was a technical tunnel inside the base, you can get into it from the engine room, which is under the control of the Russian side. The tunnel is marked on drawings seen by the New York Times.
The publication writes that where the dam is destroyed, the concrete base is not visible, and in the preserved parts of the dam, the upper part of the base remains.
==
Russia confirmed the they attack Kiev with missiles at the same time the African Peace Team was there and who then went to St Petersburg to work a peace deal with Putin. They only represent their own countries - not all of Africa. A useless trip.
==
Denmark announced its readiness to transfer F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine Danish Defense Minister Pulsen said that this requires the approval of the United States as the manufacturer of these combat vehicles. In addition, partners should help with infrastructure development and aircraft maintenance. Earlier, the Ukrainian military said they needed at least 40 F-16 fighter jets.
==
Portugal will supply its AR3 surveillance drones - two versions - one is a vertical take off and the other is standard.
==
There still is no video of other confirmation about the HIMARS strike on the troop formation at Kreminna. There is no other evidence it took place.
••Russia bears the greatest losses since the March battles for Bakhmut - British intelligence. The British Ministry of Defense notes that heavy fighting has continued in recent days, the most intense of which was fought in the Zaporozhye region, in the west of the Donetsk region and around Bakhmut. Ukraine continues to lead the offensive and is making progress.
In the southern direction, Russian troops are conducting defensive operations, also having some success. Intelligence officials say there are casualties on both sides, but Russian casualties are likely the highest since the Battle of Bakhmut peaked in March.
==
Russian officials said everything is going according to the Plan.
So, unprovable statement then.
АSLAN@antiputler_news
According to our information, Adam Delimkhanov was indeed seriously injured. ❗️
A convoy of Akhmat cars in Primorye actually flew from the HIMARS MLRS, Delimkhanov was in one of the cars.
In the field of the incident, a rescue operation was indeed organized with the involvement of aviation.
Immediately after Adam was found, he was evacuated to a hospital in the Krasnodar Territory. His condition is described as “extremely serious”, most likely he lost a limb. We are updating this information.
Apti Alaudinov was indeed temporarily removed from the Maryinsky direction with part of his unit, but not to search for Delimkhanov, but to escort him to the hospital and subsequent protection. Now he is also in the Krasnodar Territory.
Kadyrov’s propaganda puts up videos with Delimkhanov, including in the Belgorod region - they were recorded the day before the incident. As you can see, there are no fresh videos with him and will not be in the near future.
It is also interesting that the Ukrainian artillery will not reach Primorye, but the MLRS is quite. But for its accurate work, no less accurate coordinates are needed, which were definitely deliberately “leaked” to the Ukrainians by someone. Now in the hospital he is guarded by a huge number of Kadyrovites, but from whom are they guarding him on the territory of Russia? The question is open.
