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.

Reporting from Ukraine:

[ Russians Were Not Prepared For This Attack | New Plan ]
••Day 483: Jun 21
Today there are a lot of interesting developments on the southern front.
First of all, Ukrainian sources reported that Russian forces tried to use a new tactic in order to recapture Piatykhatky.
After Ukrainians completely demolished Russian columns that tried to attack Piatykhatky along the main road, Russians started moving along the field roads south of Zherebianky in order to escape direct Ukrainian fire.
Unfortunately for Russians, some assault units blew themselves up on their own mines.
Even though Ukrainian fighters reported that Russians did not take significant casualties from mines, they noted that this had a huge impact on the morale and determination of the Russian soldiers.
In fear of mines, other units started being extremely careful and, therefore, slow.
So, when they faced Ukrainian fire, many Russian units knew that if they continued being slow and careful, Ukrainians would highly likely destroy them with mortars, which is why many of them promptly retreated in the first minutes of engagement.
Ukrainian fighters remarked that only convict detachments did not stop and continued to push because otherwise, certain Chechen units who reportedly act as blocking forces would kill them for desertion.
In the meantime, Ukrainian forces are successfully expanding their bridgehead westward.
If yesterday, I told you that Ukrainians started moving along the gully to attack Russian positions from the north, then today, several sources confirmed that Ukrainians completely captured this area.
The whole Russian defense in the region relies on a trench network located between Zherebianky and the forest.
Ukrainians were already spotted moving along the tree lines to attack these fortifications, so Ukrainians are around 700 meters away from the settlement, not only from the east but also from the north.
Moreover, some prominent Russian sources started mentioning that logistical problems appear not only on the Luhove-Zherebianky section of the road but also Lisne-Luhove.
Some sources also reported engagements between Ukrainian and Russian troops approximately 1.2 km away from Luhove.
This suggests that Ukrainians cleared the tree line west of the gully, which immediately exposed a plethora of Russian positions, and, most importantly, logistics - by controlling the fields right above these two settlements, supplying Russian troops on the zero line becomes an incredibly difficult task, which gradually weakens their defense.
In fact, Russian authorities just openly demonstrated that they are not confident about the stability of this front line by launching an evacuation of the regional administration in Vasylivka, which is 10 km away from Zherebianky.
Several days ago, the occupation authorities closed all governmental facilities, stopped giving passports and other papers, and moved to Vesele, which is 55 km south of Vasylivka.
Another reason why Russians are afraid that their defense may collapse in this region is that the reservoir has almost completely dried up.
As you can see, one of the driest regions is exactly around Vasylivka.
20 km of water have slowly turned into a desert, which Ukrainians may be able to cross and launch a powerful mechanized assault right in the least fortified part of the contact line.
Some analysts have already started building projections as to which settlement along the new front line is the most probable target.
Ukrainian High Command is already considering new possibilities.
While overseeing the ongoing battles along the current main axes of advance, where Russians have created an extensive system of fortifications with dense mine fields and large reserves, Ukrainian Commanders are also reevaluation the situation and looking for new weak spots or even out-of-the-box opportunities.
••Prigozhin said the situation is getting worse foe the Russian Army. And they have taken Urozhanie on the approach to Staromaiorske bypassing a Russian defense line. Also claims a group of UA soldiers is somewhere in the area of Tokmak - hard to believe, if true.
DeepState map updates are delayed at least 2 days.
Prigozhin said Pyatikhatki under the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Robotino, the northern part - under the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Harvest - under the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Near to Tokmak - the Armed Forces of Ukraine, no weapons, no ammunition, the soldiers even need grenades, they write letters to the command.
The information is being shut up, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are going to the Molochne Lyman lake, if possible, they will return most of the territories occupied by the Russian Federation.
The crossing of the Dnieper begins, in Hola Pristan there is already a DRG, soon regular troops.
All this is hidden from military correspondents. “There is a direct betrayal of the Russian Federation,” and all this is happening against the backdrop of losses, with a shortage of personnel of 50-60%.
All that the leadership of the NWO is doing is juggling the facts for the transfer to the leadership of the Kremlin. They are deceiving Putin and the Russian people.
At yesterday’s collegium of the Ministry of Defense, an exhibition was discussed, which was organized by Shoigu’s relatives and the parade.
In general, everything is going according to “plan”.
==
Putin:
But, Putin gets only the information that is upbeat from his generals. Putin says the UA has lost more than 200 tanks and 800 armored vehicles since the offensive began; that the loss is 50 tanks per day. Obvious nonsense, which even the Russian military bloggers understand to be complete nonsense [ FR trolls excepted ].
This nonsense from Putin raises the question of who exactly is running the Russian army. Not Putin, not Shoigu who is completely unprepared to run anything, let alone an army at war.
It could be that as the offensive goes on, Prigozhin will be the only one capable of mounting a force to hold the Russian lines.
But where will he go? To Ukraine? To Moscow? His main ambition is power, and eliminating all internal conflicts, form Putin, Shoigu, Kadyrov, & the FSB.
==
In there last 10 days, Russia has lost at least 6 KA-52s. Now they are using MiG-24 helicopters instead. It caries the same types of armament, but its aiming instruments are nothing compared to 52s.
==
Zelenski:
Advance of Ukrainian forces is not easy as 200,000 km² of Ukrainian territory is mined by Russian troops - Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Air Force
“Whatever some people want, including attempts to pressure us, with all due respect, we will advance on the battlefield as we see fit,” the president stressed.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also noted that the counteroffensive is slower than we would like.
“Some people think this is a Hollywood movie and are waiting for the results now. This is wrong. People’s lives are at stake.
No matter how far we advance in the counteroffensive, we will not go for a frozen conflict, because this is a war, this is a hopeless development for Ukraine,” the president said.
As for the use of nuclear weapons by the Russian Federation, Vladimir Zelensky does not believe in such a prospect.
Zelensky addressed world leaders with a warning that Russia is preparing to undermine the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.
“Our intelligence received information that Russia is considering a scenario of a terrorist attack at the ZNPP with a release of radiation.
They have prepared everything for this.
Unfortunately, I have repeatedly had occasion to remind that radiation does not know state borders, and who it hits is determined only by the direction of the wind.
We pass on all available information to our partners, all evidence - Europe, America, China, Brazil, India, Africa, the Arab world - all countries and international organizations should know this.
This time it should not be like with Kakhovskaya. The world has been warned.”
[ ##•• It bears repeating: if the Russians and Putin go through with this plan, the release will render Ukraine and several surrounding countries uninhabitable, and if the cloud moves over Europe, it too will become uninhabitable. This will be the worst crisis in all of human history, bar the Mt. Toba eruption 74,000 years ago. ••## ]

Budanov said he does not expect Russia to use tactical nukes on Ukraine. But. There is a risk from the mined reactors.
==
Onyx:
Reports that Russia on the defense loses more vehicles than Ukraine on attack. Usually, the attacker loses 3X more than the defender.
Only 1 Leopard 2A4 & 1 Leopard 2A6 have been destroyed - the rest have been recovered and are in for repairs.
The Russians lost 60 vehicles and Ukraine lost 40.
==
New F-16 hub for training could be opened Romania - very convenient.

US House Resolution 488 passed and calls for the US to send M140 ATACMs to Ukraine.
==
European sanction cuts off supplies from the northern Druzhbah pipeline from Moscow to Belarus and to Germany. The southern line was cut by unfortunate smoking incidents causing explosions. So no more Russian oil to Europe.
==
Latvia will send it all of its MiG-8s and MiG-24s helicopters to Ukraine
••The efficiency of British cruise missiles “Storm Shadow” reaches 100 percent. “Of the total number of Storm Shadow launches that took place, all were 100% hits on the targets specified by the General Staff. 100 per 100, absolutely effective” - said the Minister of Defense of Ukraine.

The bridge that goes to Crimea in “Chongar” was attacked… Ukrainian army continue to cut supplies for Ruzzia. There are couple of bridges. Situation as with Kherson city repeats….
==
Mi-24 helicopter of the Russian Aerospace Forces crashed in Belarus. The helicopter crashed in the area of the M1 highway between Ivatsevichi and Baranovichi. Crew members were injured, the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Belarus reported. The reasons for the crash are being investigated.

Russian officials said everything is going according to the Plan. Part 1: Blow the Nova Kakhovka dam. DONE. Part 2: Blow the Zaporizhia reactor complex. Pending.
Who’s doing the counting? How do you know the pictures and videos aren’t the same vehicles from different directions and/or different dates? How do you know the pictures and videos aren’t from another skirmish somewhere else?
It’s impossible to know and we’ll never fully know.
This is a propaganda war that has both sides winning and losing.

SHARK UAVs are equipped with a highly reliable communication module and a modern camera system that allows to go deep into the enemy’s rear (up to 60 km) and conduct surveillance at a distance of up to 5 km between the UAV and the target. This is especially important when planning and conducting offensive operations, and for monitoring the actions of the enemy.
“Who’s doing the counting? How do you know the pictures and videos aren’t the same vehicles from different directions and/or different dates? How do you know the pictures and videos aren’t from another skirmish somewhere else?”
The videos and pictures are publicly released for the entire world to review. If you see a duplicate or suspect video, please send message to ORYX so they can investigate.
