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.

A fascinating response, as the first query to PIF was answered by ansel12, and the query to hum answered by you.
Unlike commercial sites (e.g. Fox News, WSJ, etc.), the blog about which I inquired is a daily post over many months now,is not a news organization, but posting is rather like those who regularly post from other blogs for clicks. I guess "it is what we do here."
"Now confirmed, Wagner forces managed to down the Russian IL-22M airborne command post RA-75917 yesterday."
Funny rumors that Gerasimov was captured by Wagner in Rostov. Was supposedly hiding in a friend’s apartment after fleeing the SMD HQ.
“rumors that Gerasimov was captured by Wagner in Rostov.”
Whacked before the amnesty cutoff date?
It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.
Probably Russian public has little idea of what happened but sure make Putin look weak and progozen and opportunist
Images and video from various sources showed the column included Pantsir S1 and Strela 10 air defense systems, plus MANPADS.
That Shoigu and Gerasimov are laying low will feed rumors, but probably just that. They might be a little stunned at the sight of Russias cheering the downing of Russian aircraft, and cheering an armed insurrection. No doubt these same people would cheer at the sight of these Generals swinging from a rope. That’s gotta be a little sobering.
My guess is the aircraft was locating and targeting Wagner PMC vehicles for RU Air Force to attack.
Sounds like a familiar story now where did I hear about that oh nazi germany and coup against Hitler
Man the similarities are almost too many to count
Sneak invasion

“It was not a coup. It was a special domestic military operation.”
“The new guy is just here to waste people’s time and post useless nothings.”
I have not seen anything from him about the topic (war in Ukraine) - just petty sniping at other posters.
What a fascinating, and growing with each response, truly fascinating set of exchanges. PFI to ansell to Beau to blitz, which seem most of the members of this club. You all should enjoy each others company, wholly in agreement each with the other, as America's debt grows in a most un-conservative way. Why it's almost Biden-esque. Play on! Enjoy.
