Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine

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.

I have come to realize that this inane, ever-repeating daily thread is your online “Hitler Bunker.” The last stand, hidey-hole of intellectually challenged Zeeper neocons.

"This thread is posted everyday so that you don't need to go to the Democratic Underground yourself to find the Biden administration's official narrative about the successful slaughter of Ukrainians and Russians."

I am certain every one of the Zeepers is either Ukranian, a GOPe hack, or a moonlighter from DU. Some just may be irredeemably stupid.

“Possibly Ukrainians testing the Russian trenches just outside Verbove. To me it looks like someone is sending an unmanned vehicle ifv/tank/whatever to test the approach. “

“Ukraine, for the first time, reached the main defensive line near Verbove, showing significant progress in the last days.”

“The nightly summary (27.07.2023 at 06.30 RO/UA Time):

It’s going to be short, but with good news:

1. Counter-offensive:

1.1 Orihiv-Tokmak axis: The Ukrainian Army (AFU) has advanced 5km east of Robotyne and about 2km west of Robotyne in the last 24 hours. They are also attacking directly from the north.

1.2 Velyka-Novosilka axis: The Ukrainian army (AFU) has entered Staromayske. Russian sources even say that they have passed this locality, but there is no visual confirmation of this other than that they are shelling Russian positions south of Staromayske.

1.3 Herson Axis: The AFU has extended its bridgehead towards Oleshky and taken control of several islands on the east bank of the Dnieper.

2. Battle for Bakhmut 2.0:

2.1 Andrivka is at least partly liberated. Ukrainian sources say that the town is completely liberated, and the Russians do not deny this information. This place is important because from there they can blockade T0513, which is an important communication line for the Russians.

2.2 Klishivka is 30-40% liberated and there are pictures of Russian troops retreating from the town in disarray.

3. [SOURCES!!!] 2 Pentagon sources report that the Ukrainian counter-offensive has entered a new phase, that is, the phase in which the reserve brigades, including what we have called “The Nine”, “The Nine”, which have most of the Western equipment, but also most of the Western-trained troops, have been brought forward to support the counter-offensive.

Why now? It is most likely because the Ukrainian command is confident that it has destroyed a sufficient number of Russian artillery units, radars, and air defense systems with HIMARS.

3. Kupyansk-Kreminna front:

3.1 The Russians have advanced toward Kupyansk, but they have a river in front of them and high ground behind them, so in my opinion this was a deliberate move by the Ukrainians to trap the Russians, but this is just my speculation.

3.2 In the Kreminna area the Russian advance slowed to a near halt. This is not due to any supernatural causes, but because the Ukrainians have managed to stabilize the front in the area of Torske.”

My wife and I know quite a few Ukrainians. The ones we know are intelligent and thoughtful people. They are heartbroken over what has been going on in their country... But none of them buy into the propaganda the way that some here do. They know what is really going on and blame Biden and company for making things much worse.

Your mental condition is getting even worse.

But you keep enjoying your summer.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Oh look. Here you are supporting a Troll with a cheap shot.
That didn’t take long.

[wildcard_redneck]

You beloved “Spring Offensive” with its continuing restarts is going about as well as DeSantis’ reboots ;)

Embrace the suck bunker boy.

Remember when you used to pretend to be anti-war?
Now you are a frothing warmonger nutjob.
What happened there?

Putin confirms 'significantly intensified' fighting as Ukraine makes major push in counter-offensive

A US official told CNN that Kyiv had now deployed the “main bulk” of its forces to the counter-offensive, something long seen as marking the starting gun for the key battle in the push.

Ukrainian officials told counterparts in Washington they would use reinforced battalions in an attempt to advance south through Russia’s defences in the town of Tokmak.

So the "spring offensive" is finally fully underway. And the Ukrainians want to take the town of Tokmak.

It's interesting that the Telegarpah reporting is based on what Putin has said, with some (as always) "unnamed" US sources adding the color commentary.

Of course, it's easy to see what Putin is saying, Russia has English language media:

‘Colossal difference’ between Ukrainian and Russian losses – Putin

Kiev lost ten times more troops than Moscow’s military in a recent major battle, Vladimir Putin has claimed

The Ukrainian military launched its long-heralded counteroffensive against Russian forces in early June, deploying strategic reserves onto the battlefield, including soldiers trained abroad, with Western-supplied military hardware.

So far, however, Kiev has failed to achieve any tangible gains on the battlefield, while sustaining heavy losses, with dozens of Western-provided armor pieces, such as German-made Leopard 2 tanks and US-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, damaged or destroyed in combat.

Has Ukraine achieved any tangable gains on the battlefield?

This is the BBC's map from a couple days ago:

So when you cut through the admittedly meaningless featured Orc articles, put aside the pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian spink, the map looks pretty much like it did in January of 2023. Russia hasn't bit off another big chuck of Ukraine, but Ukraine appears to have made almost no progress in recapturing the "Russian Strip", not to mention Crimea (which they were supposedly going to do in the "spring offensive".

Wouldn't now be a good time to negotiate? The sort of DMZ that brought the Korean war to an end seems already in defacto existence in Ukraine.

“Kiev lost ten times more troops than Moscow’s military in a recent major battle, Vladimir Putin has claimed”

Quoting Indicted War Criminal Little Pukin says it all.

Staromaiorske is liberated.

“The 35th Brigade reports about liberation of Staromaiorske in Donetsk Oblast, an area of intense fighting.

The village of Urozhaine should be next.”

“Successful operation by the Ukrainian 73rd Naval Special Operations Center against Russian “tourists” in the southern direction. Visible is a stealthy approach on boats followed by a firefight. Two tourists were escorted away alive, the rest - destroyed.”

“With the release of the Armed Forces of 🇺🇦Ukraine from the settlement of Staromayorske, the 🇷🇺Russian military will also be forced to leave the neighboring settlement of Urozhane, which will open the way for the Ukrainian military to the strategically important settlement of Staromlynivka, which is a key node of the strongholds of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in this direction. Heavy battles continue.”

““private military companies,””

What could go wrong?

[FtrPilot]

The Mi-26 is taxiing to its parking spot under the guidance of a marshaller (middle bottom of the screen).

The pilot is watching the marshaller, expecting the hand signal to turn left, and not watching where he is going.

In every pilot training class, someone will finish last.

My guess is the pilot of that Mi-26 finished last in his pilot training class.
