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.

[ Massive Breakthrough | Big Win! Ukrainians Liberate 2 Towns. Russian Generals Get Fired! ]
••Day 517: Jul 25
Today there is a lot of good news from the east.
Last time, I told you that Ukrainians noticed that Russians desperately allocated troops to Klishchiivka at the expense of their flanks and Ukrainians successfully exploited a temporary weakness in a flank attack.
This turned out to be the most important operation that the Ukrainians conducted because by capitalizing on their new bridgehead east of the canal, Ukrainian forces finally crushed the Russian defense.
When Russians saw that Ukrainians penetrated their flanks and started getting close to Andriivka, Russian forces sent dozens of tanks to clear the tree lines and force Ukrainians to retreat.
Since Russian forces lacked troops in this region, they bet that by conducting pure mechanized assaults, they would be able to eliminate troops in the tree line and prevent new forces from entering the region with fire.
Unfortunately for Russians, they lost a lot of tanks and armored fighting vehicles, never getting close to Ukrainian positions.
A lot of work was done by the drone operators, who identified the movement of tanks with reconnaissance drones and immediately destroyed these tanks with kamikaze drones.
After Russian offensive capabilities were exhausted, Ukrainians got close to Andriivka, established total fire control over all roads leading in and out of the settlement, and forced Russians to abandon it.
And even though Andriivka is very small, it was an extremely important Russian logistical hub, as 90% of all supplies to Klishchiivka went through this settlement.
Moreover, Russian forces in the forest that were preventing Ukrainians from entering the village from the south appeared in a salient and suffered from continuous crossfire.
With significantly reduced supplies and no rotation, these troops were holding onto their position only thanks to artillery fire.
However, Ukrainian HIMARS crews once again visited the region and conducted effective counterbattery fire.
Based only on the available footage Ukrainians destroyed multiple Russian artillery systems near Kodema, Zaitseve, and Roty.
The Russian commander of the forces on the ground, general-major Vladimir Seliverstov, saw that very soon he would have no troops in subordination and started raising a lot of uncomfortable questions and demanding the high command to give him more resources.
Just like in the case of general Popov, the General Staff did not like his demands and fired him on spot.
Ukrainians understood that the Russian High Command decided to save equipment and compensate with the quantity of troops.
Every day Russians reinforced Klishchiivka with more and more mobilized soldiers.
This was a perfect setting for using cluster munitions.
Russian sources reported that Ukrainians increased the use of cluster shells in this region by more than 10 times.
Both the forest and the settlement itself became a death zone filled with bodies.
Very soon, the defense was undermined, and Ukrainians finally entered the forest.
This time, progress was stable, and Ukrainians were gradually clearing all trenches and shelters.
Such development automatically rendered the southern side of Klishchiivka untenable, and Russian forces retreated.
Later, the new Russian commander ordered the soldiers to reestablish full control over the village at all costs.
Russian forces conducted a rapid counterattack, got deep into the southern part of the village, but found themselves in a pocket.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that Ukrainians control absolutely all heights around the southern part of the settlement.
A Ukrainian drone operator managed to film this disastrous operation.
Russians immediately lost several armored fighting vehicles, and the last one left, leaving the infantry alone.
They tried to hold an all-round defense but were eliminated within minutes.
The latest reports suggest that Russians were completely forced out of Klishchiivka.
Even though Ukrainians have not yet managed to establish a permanent presence in the northern part of the village due to continuous Russian counterattacks, the next Russian positions are located along the railway.
Intense fights still continue, but even Russian analysts agree that the outcome is determined - Russian defense will collapse much further - Ukrainians have the high ground.
••Luhansk Oblast:
Russia takes a lot more ground: Novoiehorivka, Serhivka, and Nadiia - 8km. Leading edge of this salient advance reached the border of Luhansk and Kharkiv Oblasts. Potential to keep going because of the huge number of troops and tanks concentrated in that area. [ The number is similar to an old Soviet Army configuration of 100,000 troops and 900 tanks. Back when they had many Armies. ]
From where the Russians are now, its just 18.5km to Borova and cutting the UA in that are in two forcing them to withdraw to the west side of the Oskil River and reservoir.
This could become a very bad situation for the UA.
CORRECTION: The above information is INCORRECT!!!:
Incorrect information in the Armed Forces of Ukraine DeepState about the “loss” of three settlements in the Lugansk region
“The tactical line there hasn’t changed much,” said Sergey Cherevaty, spokesman for the Eastern Group of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in comments to CNN.

New Russian Mobilization Law:
Mandatory service age increased: 27-30
Reserve age increased: 60-65
When someone gets notice by email or on the website, he must go directly to the Army. Failing to do so will mean loss of social privileges like passport, driver and marriage licenses, as well as bank credit.
In addition, the person will be hunted by both State and military police. When caught, he will be forcibly sent to the RGF.
This law was written for the Big War and for the Global Big Mobilization, as announced by MP Andrei Kartopolov, head of the Russian Duma and spokesman for the military.
Sounds like Putin is going for full mobilization of Russia - this full mobilization will not be announced until after Putin ‘wins’ the 2024 election.

Hungry and Turkey refine Russian oil into diesel, Russia buys their diesel and refuels its war machine.
This information was given to us by sources in the Investigative Committee and in the Kremlin. According to them, the verdict on the former defense minister of the DPR could be handed down as early as this year.
“As far as I know, the order came from above: to cover Strelkov for several years in order to shut the mouths of everyone who is now criticizing the authorities. And for those who do not understand, the terms will be more serious. Strelkov will still get off easy,” said one of our interlocutors.
According to him, the initiator of Strelkov’s arrest was Sergei Shoigu, whom Igor Ivanovich repeatedly insulted. At the same time, Vladimir Putin allegedly gave the go-ahead for the arrest personally.
A Kremlin source did not confirm this information, but said that “Strelkov should have thought about what and about whom he was talking, especially lately.”

The Strelkov case: an internal “war” begins in Russia
What does sending Igor Strelkov to jail mean? First of all, the fact that a real war begins in Russia with all those who disagree. In general, with everyone, whether it’s Strelkov, a liberal oppositionist or dissatisfied with the authorities.

In contrast to the meeting with, for the most part, lyrical content over tea with pies and gingerbread, which took place the previous evening, Putin and Lukashenko enthusiastically discussed economic issues, or rather, Lukashenko begged for money. Ultimately, the President of Russia promised to give everything that his Belarusian colleague passionately asked for and even a little more.
Putin traditionally favors Lukashenko and frankly likes their meetings, and recently the Belarusian dictator has remained almost the only faithful and devoted, albeit hopelessly, friend.
This strange friendship willy-nilly takes on florid forms when Putin passes the baton of communication under cameras and participation in joint official events to a double. Lukashenko is not the best actor, and therefore, in the presence of an understudy of the President of Russia, he plays the performance according to his own understanding.
That is why yesterday’s visit of Lukashenko and Putin’s double to the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Valaam stauropegial monastery looked like the fulfillment of a duty on the part of Alexander Grigoryevich. Nevertheless, Lukashenko got everything he wanted and considers his visit to Russia to be very successful.
Putin yesterday held a meeting via video link with representatives of the leadership of the power bloc.
On the agenda was the question “what to do with the disgraced generals who in one way or another supported the rebellion of Prigozhin and the Wagner PMC.” The options were discussed for quite a long time, but they failed to get clear decisions from Putin.
The fate of General-Armageddon Surovikin is also not determined, he is still limited in freedom, but Putin has significantly softened his position towards him in recent days and even offered to remove restrictions from the disgraced general.
After listening to the protests of representatives of the leadership of the power bloc, he said that he would still think about this issue.
The President’s double is intensively preparing for participation in the Russia-Africa summit and the economic and humanitarian forum, which will be held in St. Petersburg the other day.
The understudy studies the materials provided and, they say, tries in earnest, doing five to six hours a day.
At this pace, the understudy will soon understand many issues incomparably better than the original, and then the question may arise: “Why, then, is the real Putin needed at all?”

Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Yesterday, a man resembling Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting on economic issues via videoconference.
Communication with experts on economic and financial issues is still not easy for a double. Although he tries to delve into the issues that are raised during meetings on the economy, this area is given to him with difficulty.
Yesterday’s opening speech in the prelude to the meeting, the understudy read quite cheerfully and, as they say, with an expression of feelings and emotions, sincerely rejoicing at the growth of unrealistic wages by tens of percent and at the unprecedented, mythical growth of GDP.
Everything in the speech prepared for the double was beautiful and filled with optimism.
But during the main part of the meeting, the understudy was frankly bored, since most of the issues discussed were beyond his understanding.
The participants in the meeting were not embarrassed by the “president’s” detached appearance; the fact is that Putin, too, is far from immersing himself in the economic sphere and usually holds such meetings with the same indifferent air.
Yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin felt unwell, canceled scheduled meetings and only accepted a few reports.
The president was upset by the news that the Russia-Africa summit would not be as representative as expected.
Only a few heads of state and government will personally arrive at the summit, and the rest of the countries who have decided to take part in the Sabbath, or, if you like, in the summit, will be represented by delegations led by people at the ministerial level and below.
Putin, after listening to the report, ordered to convey to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov: “There is still time, let him work on it.” How Lavrov should “work” the president did not specify.
Yesterday for the president presented unpleasant news of a personal nature.
Putin was carefully informed that his cohabitant and mother of several of his children, Alina Kabaeva, was probably infatuated with one of her security officers, and allegedly the affair had been developing for some time.
Putin, who has openly ignored Kabaeva lately and even being in the same residence, may not see her at all, reacted sluggishly to this message, and moreover, did not try to find out the details and the name of Alina Maratovna’s new favorite. As FSO officials close to the president say: “The old gelding has gone down a lot lately.”

The real strategic winner is China. It is now obvious that Russia cannot conventionally defend its rich Asian Pacific territories or Siberia. One day the US, Japan and post Putin Russia will form an alliance to prevent Chinese hegemony. Those lands and their wealth sorely tempt China.

“A strategic win for the USA. The biggest winner of the war.”
It has really impacted our economy, but Russia has been taken down a few notches and will not be reviving the USSR empire any time soon.
Next is China v Taiwan. That will be messy.
It will be a naval war
