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.

Excerpt:
There are increasing warning signs about the massive flow of weapons to Ukraine.
The New York Times on Monday reported that Ukraine has “paid contractors hundreds of millions of dollars for weapons that have not been delivered, and some of the much-publicized arms donated by its allies have been so decrepit that they were deemed fit only to be cannibalized for spare parts.”
Kyiv had paid arms suppliers more than $800 million since the Russian invasion in February 2022 for contracts that went completely or partly unfulfilled, the newspaper reported, citing Ukrainian government documents.
Some of the missing weapons had eventually been delivered, and that in other cases brokers had refunded the money, two people involved in Ukraine’s arms purchasing told the Times.
“But as of early this spring, hundreds of millions of dollars had been paid - including to state-owned companies - for arms never materialized, one of these people said.”
“We did have cases where we paid money and we didn’t receive,” Volodymyr Havrylov, a deputy defense minister working on arms procurement, told the Times in a recent interview. He said the government this year had begun analyzing its past purchases and excluding problematic contractors.

[ Ukrainians Trap & Destroy 300 Russian Troops | Dreadful End ]
••Day 481: Jun 19
Today there are a lot of updates from the Zaporizhia region.
Here, the most intense fights took place around Pitykhatky.
First of all, today, Ukrainian fighters have finally provided visual confirmation that Piatykhatky is under total Ukrainian control.
The fighters of the 128th Assault Brigade stated that they captured lots of Russian ammunition.
Interestingly, yesterday Russian sources reported that they conducted a tactical retreat and safely moved back to more reliable positions around the settlement.
However, today, Russian sources confirmed that by attacking Russians from 2 sides, Ukrainians cut off all retreat routes, took Russian forces into a pocket and completely eliminated Storm Ossetia Battalion together with their commander, meaning that more than 300 Russian troops together with equipment were destroyed.
Today Ukrainian forces finished regrouping and launched the next series of attacks.
Yesterday, I told you that Ukrainians would likely launch 2 attacks on the flanks and 1 towards Zherebianka, and this is exactly what happened today.
Russian sources reported that the fighters from the 128th Assault Brigade advanced from the western part of the village.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that these are the tactical heights that Russians supposedly retreated to.
The engagements were extremely heavy because it turned out that at the same time, Russian forces decided to conduct a counterattack.
Fortunately, prior to the attack, Ukrainians spent all the time digging trenches and fortifying the western part of the village against such a counterattack, so, during the encounter battle, Ukrainians rolled back to their newly formed defensive positions and repelled the attack.
Select Russian sources claimed that Piatykhatky was recaptured by Russians, however, even the most prominent Russian sources stated that this is false.
After this encounter battle, the intensity of fights in this region decreased, as both parties were taken by surprise and did not have enough resources to launch the second wave, especially given that simultaneously, another big battle was happening in front of Zherebianky.
Russian sources reported that Ukrainians advanced from the forest and assaulted the first line of trenches and fortifications on the line.
Several Russian sources mentioned that these Russians conducted a tactical retreat to the hills around Zherebianka but noted that Ukrainians could not take the emptied positions due to the intense artillery fire.
Ukrainian sources reported that Ukrainian forces successfully breached 2 Russian strong points in a tree line on a small hill and continued penetrating Russian defenses deeper and deeper.
Ukrainian sources also reported that in fear that Russians would run out of reserves and see a complete collapse of the front line, Russian forces decided to increase the artillery support of the units on the ground by redeploying more guns to this region.
Ukrainian Intelligence discovered that Russians are relocating thermobaric artillery systems TOS-1 and also tanks and multiple-launch rocket systems somewhere around Dolynka.
Unfortunately for Russians, such redeployment processes recently turned out to be deadly.
Ukrainian Melitopol mayor reported that around 2 days ago when Ukrainians had just launched the first attack toward Piatykhatky, Russian forces decided to reinforce these troops by relocating heavy equipment from the Kahovka region.
However, the column never got to the front because Ukrainian partisans destroyed the column, likely by detonating explosives on the road.
He also added that Ukrainian partisans blew up an important railway connection just south of Melitopol, which further complicated Russian logistics and made it significantly harder to plug the holes in the defense line.
••UA forces use high mobility vehicles o get behind Russian lines and launch attacks from the rear. Tactic seems to be working and leading to capturing more ground quicker.

Russia may have begun redeploying units from the east bank of the Dnieper river - British intelligence
This is probably being done to strengthen the Zaporozhye and Bakhmut areas, according to intelligence.
“The redeployment of the Dnieper Group of Forces likely reflects Russia’s vision that a major Ukrainian offensive across the Dnieper is now less possible following the destruction of the Kakhovka dam and the resulting flooding,” the statement said.

32 from 36 drones were hit. Unfortunately some of the drones made it to their targets

Budanov: Russians additionally mined Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant.
Due to the fact that the Russians destroyed the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, they destroyed the normal access of water to the coolers at the ZNPP.
“But the second, the worst thing, is that the ZNPP was additionally mined. And the worst thing is that the cooler is mined. If they disable it, then there is a high probability that there will be significant problems,” the head of the GUR said.

Russian officials said everything is going according to the Plan.
9K33 Osa
The 9K33 Osa is a highly mobile, low-altitude, short-range tactical surface-to-air missile system
The Ukrainian counter-offensive has failed. Its army is getting slaughtered on the battlefield. The 'counteroffensive' of the 'NATO trained' Ukrainian brigades has made no real progress on any front. The high level of losses of men and material make it impossible that it will ever again regain the initiative.
The U.S. aim was to integrate the Ukraine into NATO. It would then have been able to station U.S. troops in Ukraine and to put its weapons into reach of Moscow so that any independent Russian move could be countered with a threat of imminent annihilation.
After more than 20 years of pursuing that aim the U.S. threw the towel:
President Biden on Saturday said he won’t make it easier for Ukraine to join NATO, adding that the country at war with Russia has to meet the requirements to be a member.
“They got to meet the same standards. So, I’m not going to make it easier,” Biden told reporters. “I think they’ve done everything relating to demonstrating the ability to coordinate militarily, but there’s a whole issue of is their system secure? Is it noncorrupt? Does it meet all the standards … every other nation in NATO does.”
