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.

[ Unfazed Ukrainian Fighter vs. Russian Fighter Jet ]
••Today there is a lot of news from the east.
Here, after conducting a series of successful operations to the south of Bakhmut, Ukrainians have shifted their focus to the northern part of the region.
The main axis of advance became the Sloviansk highway, where Russians used the dense tree lines along the road to conceal extensive trench networks.
Ukrainian 30th Mechanized Brigade recently released a video that showed how exactly Ukrainians managed to breach Russian defense.
As you can see, Russians have developed a very long system of trenches, which means that using traditional means, such as mortars and artillery, is highly inefficient.
That is why Ukrainians decided to deploy multiple assault drone crews to target Russians precisely.
Unlike artillery and mortar crews that shoot their shells blindly, drone operators see their target directly and can drop explosive shells precisely on the spot where Russian forces are located.
Such an approach increases the effectiveness significantly and allows them to inflict substantial losses on the enemy already in the first 20 minutes.
After the first stage of the operation was completed, Ukrainians rolled out their tanks and unleashed devastating fire on the proximate branches of the trench network.
This not only allowed to undermine Russian defense by demolishing the main fortifications, but also drove Russians away from the out edge, giving some space for the Ukrainian assault units to enter the first trenches.
Soon, the positions were taken, and Ukrainian soldiers were seen sitting and smoking before launching the next assault. In the aftermath of coordinated actions between various detachments, Ukrainians have advanced by up to 1 km.
Russian forces tried to compensate for the losses of land by launching a counterattack.
Their target, however, was in a slightly different region - near Berkhivka.
And this is not surprising because the situation for the Russians in this village was very dire, and it became harder and harder to continue holding this settlement each day.
That is why Russians decided to at least return control over the tree lines around the reservoir to increase the stability of their flanks.
Ukrainian fighters met Russian assault units with fire.
Ukrainian artillery was working with high intensity, and very soon, Ukrainian drone operators noticed how Russian soldiers collected their things and went away.
In the meantime, Ukrainian forces continued slowly intensifying their actions north of Bakhmut.
The main idea of this group of forces is to slice off the bridgehead that Russian forces developed west of Soledar and set conditions for the encirclement of Soledar and Bakhmut.
If we take into account the topography of the region, we can quickly understand that the most important settlement in this region is Yakovlivka.
Yakovlivka is located on a hill above both Soledar and Bakhmut, so by breaching the Russian defense here, Ukrainians will open access to the Russian rear.
Recently released footage indicated that Ukrainians have already launched artillery preparation on this settlement.
Russian forces understand the value of this village very well.
That is why they are not saving resources in this direction and trying to eliminate the Ukrainian 10th and 109th Assault Brigades that are responsible for this region by any means, including extremely risky airstrikes.
A Ukrainian fighter spotted one such Russian fighter jet in the middle of the mission and shot down the Russian fighter jet, saving dozens of soldiers from his detachment by preventing a devastating rocket strike.
Russian aviation remains a huge threat to Ukrainian soldiers, so supplies of air defense systems, including man-portable ones, change the situation on the ground tremendously.
••ATACMS Blk 1 range is 103 miles; Blk 1A range is 186 miles.
[ Relative to other ground launched missiles, the US does not have a large supply of these missiles, but the system is obsolescent & awaiting the arrival of a newer system. ]
1,650 M39 were produced between 1990 and 1997, when production ceased in favor of the M39A1.
During Desert Storm 32 M39 were fired at Iraqi targets and during Operation Iraqi Freedom a further 379 were fired.
The remaining M39 missiles are being updated to M57E1 missiles. This is the only variant that can be fired by all M270 and M142 launcher variants.
==
•M39A1• (ATACMS Block IA) missile with GPS-aided guidance. It carries 300 M74 Anti-personnel and Anti‑materiel (APAM) bomblets. Range: 20–300 kilometers (12–186 mi).
610 M39A1 were produced between 1997 and 2003.
During Operation Iraqi Freedom 74 M39A1 were fired at Iraqi targets.
The remaining M39A1 missiles are being updated to M57E1 missiles.
The M39A1 and all subsequently introduced ATACMS missiles can only be used with the M270A1 (or variants thereof) and the M142.
==
•M48• (ATACMS Quick Reaction Unitary [QRU]) missile with GPS-aided guidance.
It carries the 500-pound (230 kg) WDU-18/B penetrating high explosive blast fragmentation warhead of the US Navy’s Harpoon anti-ship missile, which was packaged into the newly designed WAU-23/B warhead section.
Range: 70–300 km (43–186 mi). 176 M48 were produced between 2001 and 2004, when production ceased in favor of the M57.
During Operation Iraqi Freedom 16 M48 were fired at Iraqi targets and a further 42 were fired during Operation Enduring Freedom. 118 remaining.
The remaining M48 missiles are in the US Army and US Marine Corps’ arsenal.
==
•M57• (ATACMS TACMS 2000) missile with GPS-aided guidance.
It carries the same WAU-23/B warhead section as the M48. Range: 70–300 km (43–186 mi). 513 M57 were produced between 2004 and 2013.
Accuracy is 9 m (30 ft) CEP (Circular Error Probability).
==
•M57E1• (ATACMS Modification [MOD]) missile with GPS-aided guidance.
The M57E1 is the designation for upgraded M39 and M39A1 with re-grained motor, updated navigation and guidance software and hardware, and a WAU-23/B warhead section instead of the M74 APAM bomblets.
This variant includes a proximity sensor for airburst detonation.
Production commenced in 2017 with an initial order for 220 upgraded M57E1s.
There >2154 M57E1 with some of those used for testing and training.
Confirmed: There will be 3 Wagner bases, one is near the Russian border, the other two near the Polish/Lithuania/Latvia borders.
They will be used to train Belarus troops foe “further military action”.

Russia now using artillery shells made in 1939, very rusty.

Storm Z Russian convict battalion, on the southern front lines, refused to continue to fight because they do not have enough ammo, supplies or food. They are one of the groups that supported P last weekend.
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.”

[ Think of this disaster as Chernobyl times 6, only worse as the reactor explosions will be deliberate. This is not hyperbole, over reaction or anything of the sort. Why mine something like this if one does not, at some point, plan to detonate the mines?

##•• 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. ••## ]
••Occupied Berdyansk airport hit this morning. Not long time ago Russia send more of the helicopters over there…

Russian officials said everything is going according to the Plan & Prigozhin agrees.
Russia is a 14th century feudal empire running a gas station with nukes in the backroom.

Yesterday, Russians reportedly attacked the Antonivskyi bridge on the left bank with Iskander ballistic missiles to oust Ukrainian forces dug in there. To no avail, Ukraine maintained presence which has only increased.
RU desperation.
Storm Shadow attacks on logistics hubs have been highly successful.
Intel (target) drones than can fly far behind the FEBA are finding and tracking artillery tubes even after they "scoot".
