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.

Previous day’s thread: https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4163145/posts
“How the mutiny in Russia will shape the battlefield in Ukraine”
“Yevgeny Prigozhin is retreating, but his mutiny undermines the Kremlin’s war”
“One month ago Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner group had just conquered the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut after a nearly year-long battle, crawling forward by a few dozen metres a day. On June 24th Ukrainians watched with amazement, and some glee, as Mr Prigozhin’s forces marched on Moscow, covering 800km in a few hours and shooting down several Russian aircraft. That campaign seems to have ended less than a day after it began. But Russia’s war in Ukraine is unlikely to return to business as usual.”

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.

[ Russians Set Record Aircraft Losses Due to Mutiny | Russian Civil War Day 2 ]
••Day 486: Jun 24
The Wagner rebellion continued, and Prigozhin gradually consolidated control over the captured territories.
If yesterday, Wagner forces just crossed the border of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in multiple places and took control over the military objects in the Rostov region, then today, the Wagner forces reached the doorstep of Moscow.
The rebellion started and developed so rapidly that many people seriously consider whether it is just a big show to distract the Ukrainians from their counteroffensive operation.
However, today the Head of Ukrainian Intelligence, Budanov, confirmed that the internal Russian armed conflict is real and that removing the Russian Ministry of Defense is a matter of survival for Prigozhin.
Today, Prigozhin released a video where he showed the captured headquarters of the Southern Military District.
He effectively took captive the Russian commanders, who were not allowed to leave, and said that he would set everyone free only in exchange for Shoigu and Gerasimov.
In order to increase the leverage, Prigozhin moved further and also captured the airfield and several villages east of the city, and started reinforcing the flanks while moving towards Moscow.
Putin gave a speech to address the situation, and despite the fact that Prigozhin claimed to be acting in the best Putin’s interests, Putin did not support Prigozhin’s actions.
Putin called it a stab in the back that threatened to break Russia just like it happened in 1917, which is why he ordered all special detachments to suppress the rebellion.
He gave the Wagner soldiers the last chance to surrender and said that whoever remains will answer before the nation.
Shortly, Russian forces started using their assault helicopters and fighter jets to bomb Wagner columns.
Prigozhin said that Russian Air Force disregarded the fact that there were more civilian cars than Wagner cars and that the pilots had terrible accuracy because everyone who could shoot was already on the front.
Still, some bombs managed to hit the trucks on the road.
One helicopter also blew up an oil depot in the Voroniezh region, which by that time was also captured by the Wagner forces.
Wagner forces responded reciprocally and started shooting down Russian aviation.
The widely circulated footage confirms that Wagner forces managed to shoot down multiple aerial objects, including 1 assault helicopter Ka-52, 1 multi-purpose helicopter Mi-8, 3 Electric Warfare helicopters, 1 transport helicopter, and 1 aerial command point plane IL-18.
Soon, Russian forces started bombing the occupied military headquarters in Rostov.
Wagner forces responded by reinforcing air defense in the region and asking the civilians to evacuate from the area.
Russian forces also tried to block the roads with trucks to complicate the movement of the Wagner forces, however, Wagners just moved them to the side of the road.
Sometimes, Russian soldiers on the block posts did not welcome Wagner forces warmly, and there were violent confrontations.
In general, Russian forces failed to provide reasonable resistance, and Wagner forces developed a presence not only in the Rostov and Voronezh regions but also Kursk, Oriol, Lipetsk, Tambov, and Tula regions, reaching the doorstep of the Moscow region.
Here the situation became more complicated as the Russians blocked all bridges.
Simultaneously, the Chechen units entered the Rostov region to strike Wagner’s flanks.
The conflict was about to escalate, and after putting all cards on the table, the parties decided to try to negotiate.
The President of Belarus, Lukashenko, volunteered to mediate the negotiation, in part because he has been a close friend of both Putin and Prigozhin for more than 20 years.
Suddenly, Prigozhin announced that he was withdrawing.
Russian officials stated that the charges on Prigozhin and participating Wagner soldiers were dropped.
It looks like the Russian Ministry of Defense evaluated the situation and understood that they had no chance and fulfilled all of Prigozhin’s demands, more precisely, the removal of Shoigu and Gerasimov.
Even though Russian officials stated that no changed to the structure of the Ministry of Defense were discussed during the negotiation process, no one in the media space believes that.
It is expected that in order to avoid the escalation, Putin will remove the highest officials in the Russian Ministry of Defense over the course of around 2 months.
Even though the turmoil inside the Russian Ministry of Defense is not explicit, it is happening, and the chaos inside the Russian War Machine creates very favorable conditions for the Ukrainians.
Prigozhin managed to succeed in this endeavor primarily because it was unexpected.
••Russian poll on Prigozhin results:
157.8K [ Clown ] | 51.2K [ Thumbs Down ] | 45.8K [ Heart ] | 21.2K [ Thumbs Up ] | 7.1K [ Fire ] | 5.5K [ Poo Pile ] | 3.6K [ Grey Face Left ] | 2K [ Exploded Head ] |1K [ Burning Heart ] | 533 [ Goofy Face ] | 519 [ Smily Face with 3 small Hearts ]
Reflects great disappointment with Prigozhin. And no one will support him militarily in the future.
Shows image of Lukashenko holding baby Putin. Putin and Russian Government are weak. Shows that 300 armored vehicles and 4,000 men are enough to take power in Russia.
Another reason that Prigozhin may have stopped his march to Moscow is no Russian oligarch openly supported him. [ Perhaps this was a sign that there would be no more money to continue to support Prigozhin and pay the troops after July? ]
==
When the FSB raided the Wagner Center in St. Petersburg, they found passports with Prigozhin’s image but a different name, and some with his name but a different image. So is Prigozhin really Prigozhin?
==
Russian online shops reopened selling merchandise with the Wagner logo on them - [ hurry & get yours while supplies last! ]
==
The Kadyrov troops reported to be stuck in traffic outside of Rostov on Don were actually just parked on their road. No one knows where they went, if anywhere.
==
Southern Front Line:
Novodanylivka Region: the UA continues to advance, getting closer to Robotyne.
Velyka Novosilka: UA advanced on the northern side and on the western side toward Pryiutne
Kherson Region:
UA forces landed somewhere near Oleshky. The Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully crossed the Dnieper in the area of the Antonovsky Bridge, there is a battle going on - Z-channels. Not yet confirmed.

Shoigu, Gerasimov together with Putin are stupid crazy fools who may do something even more stupid that just destroying the Nova Kakhovka Dam. See Below.
As for military gains by Russia - these days are past, especially with the disbanding of the Wagners, which forces will no longer fight in Ukraine.
He addressed world leaders [ yesterday ] with a warning that Russia is preparing to undermine [ destroy ] 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 [ Nova Kakhovka ]. The world has been warned.”

Russian officials said everything is going according to the Plan & Prigozhin agrees.
Russians placed explosives near 4 of 6 power units of the ZNPP.
“The plan for a terrorist attack on ZNPP has been fully developed and approved.”
“The situation has never been as serious as it is now” - head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine
Linked article:
Terrorist Russia has completed preparations for a terrorist attack on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
This was stated by the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Major General Kyrylo Budanov, in an interview with the British publication The New Statement.
According to him, nuclear reactors without cooling can melt in a period from 10 hours to 14 days.
An increase in the voltage on the power supply lines to the plant by the Russians could also lead to an accident at the ZNPP.
“The plan for a terrorist attack on the ZNPP has been fully developed and approved. They can use technical means to speed up the disaster,” Kyrylo Budanov said.
The head of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reminded about Russian troops’ mining of the cooling tank of the ZNPP, and also informed about the placement of equipment filled with explosives by the occupiers near 4 of the 6 power units of the plant.
“The situation has never been as serious as it is now,” Kyrylo Budanov emphasized.
According to the head of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the order of the aggressor state to carry out a terrorist attack on the ZNPP may be caused by the defeat of the Russian occupation forces on the left bank of the Dnieper - Russia considers the creation of a nuclear disaster zone as a safeguard for the further advancement of the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine.
At the same time, according to Kirill Budanov, there is a risk that Moscow may launch an attack on the ZNPP with a radiation leak as a “preventive measure” to stop Ukraine’s offensive operation and freeze the front line in its current form.
To all pro-Putin trolls - if you have something substantive to add do so, else heed this from the Boss:
“Do not enter onto a thread on a topic you don’t like just to disrupt, rattle cages, poke sticks, insult the regulars, or engage in trolling activities, etc.” ~ Jim Robinson
Used to be desputation was the main feature of Free Repiblic, not repetitive unchallenged propaganda threads.
Maybe put "Religious Caucus" in the title. We all know those are dispute free.
I wonder where Shoigu and Gerasimov are today?
How did they make out in the settlement deal?

Anton Gerashchenko@Gerashchenko_en
Some possible outcomes of yesterday’s events:
1. In Wagner PMC, a split has reportedly started between those who felt used and those who remained loyal to Prigozhin after the failed rebellion.
2. Combat pilots reportedly quit Wagner PMC due to their disagreement with the way planes and helicopters of the Russian Aerospace Forces were destroyed yesterday.
3. A vertical of power has collapsed.
No one in Russia can feel safe anymore.
Neither officials, nor oligarchs, nor FSB officers who used to think they were the rulers of life.
Putin stopped holding a monopoly on violence in Russia yesterday.
It was proven that factions with more weapons and determination decide everything.
4. Russia might be facing a bloody war, not a civil war, but a war of clans, armed groups and private armies: Chechens, Prigozhin’s supporters, armed mercenaries, who will separate from Prigozhin or other PMCs and be hired by local clans for protection from invading outsiders.
All large business and oligarchs will probably create (if they haven’t already) private armies, as Gazprom has already done to protect itself.
Conflicts and redistribution of property will be resolved by force.
It will be the new 90s but far worse:
Resembling the Mad Max style and genre of an anti-utopia action movie.
5. The Russian army, it seems, has de facto ceased to exist as a united structure.
Soldiers and officers sitting in trenches in the massacre unleashed by Putin, probably finally realized yesterday the utter pointlessness of the war against Ukraine, against the background of the fact that a group of criminals in the rear can pass 600km in a day, sweeping away everything in their path and then be amnestied after killing pilots and civilians.
6. Ukraine is a few steps closer to fully restoring its territorial integrity, including Crimea.
7. What a pity that this circus did not end with the self-destruction of Putin’s regime and Prigozhin faction.
But I believe it will happen again with even larger scale!
Possible outcomes...all in all, I would agree with Anton Gerashchenko's analysis.
The Russian army, it seems, has de facto ceased to exist as a united structure.
I believe this occurred several months ago.
RU logistics cannot keep up with demand. Storm Shadows have only made it worst.
PIF...thanks for the ping.
