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.

Calling someone a RuZZian on FR is considered an insult.
Calling someone a Comrade on FR is considered an insult.
Summarizing this war:
A tragedy for Ukraine.
A disaster for RuZZia.
A strategic win for the USA. The biggest winner of the war.

“Putin’s Forever War”
“Through towering pine forests and untouched meadows, the road to Lake Baikal in southern Siberia winds past cemeteries where bright plastic flowers mark the graves of Russians killed in Ukraine. Far from the Potemkin paradise of Moscow, the war is ever visible.
On the eastern shore of the lake, where white-winged gulls plunge into the steel-blue water, Yulia Rolikova, 35, runs an inn that doubles as a children’s summer camp. She is some 3,500 miles from the front, yet the war reverberates in her family and in her head.”
Hahaha. Hohoho.

In a second wave, Russia launched 27 Shahed drones which were all shot down. Furthermore 5 out of 6 Kalibr cruise missiles and 13 out of 20 Kh-101/555 were shot down.”

Totals:
40 Cruise missiles and 3 Hypersonic missiles launched with 30 shot down...70% shoot down rate.
27 Shahed drones launched with 27 shot down...100% shoot down rate.
This attack is the equivalent of 13 1000 pound bombs, which could easily be carried by one 4-ship of F-16s.
Waiting on BDA.

Could a 30 pound shaped charge penetrate a ship's hull?
The warhead could certainly damage the rudders and propellers.
really futuristic, I dig the fins...
hypersonic missiles are useless against this!!
Ukraine: military situation update - Aug 5, 2023
••Denotes Transcribed Dialogue. Extras are just that - from other sites, or my comments marked (Edit: .... ) or { } or [ ].
••Robotnye Region:
UA moves forward and enters the Second Defense line. Robotnye village is half encircled.
==
Kherson, Oleshky Region:
UA moves forward here also, gains more territory in 3 vectors: one across the shore to the east, and toward Oleshky from the east and from the west. Movement is difficult because of all the lakes and rivers in the area, but a crucial bridge still stands. The village is only 1 km from the UA line.
There are some scattered Russian defense lines to cross or bypass.

The Black Sea is Russia’s most profitable year round way to export its oil by ship. If Ukraine closes it to Russian oil export, they can only ship from the Baltic Sea which could cause problems in the winter. The Far East lacks infrastructure to export by ship.
==
Poland may totally close the Belarusian border because of the Wagner threat.

Saudi ‘Peace Conference’ could get more countries on Ukraine’s side in the war and impose new sanctions on Russia.

The UK may send the (??Osram IR??) truck-mounted anti-air system to counter the Russian KA-52 with its 15km missiles. The Osram IR missiles have a 25km range.
A tragic state of emergency occurred at the front in the Zaporozhye region - the Russian military covered their
The incident took place near Rabotino, two sources in the General Staff told us.
A group of our military men changed into Ukrainian uniforms and wanted to go behind enemy lines in order to “make a stir there”.
This group was recorded from our own UAV, mistook for the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and inflicted an artillery strike.
Due to inconsistency in actions, 32 people were killed by “friendly fire”.
The troubles did not end there, after the impact, the enemy revealed the positions of our artillery and covered it with cluster shells.
Another 19 people died, there are many wounded, including seriously.
The culprit of the tragedy was the commander, who forced the military to change into Ukrainian uniforms and did not say anything to anyone.
Immediately after the artillery hit on his own, he realized what he had done and deserted from the positions, they are now looking for him.
“The enemy began to push harder, so cases of such uncoordinated actions became more frequent at the front,” one of the sources explained the emergency.
Also, according to him, the military now lacks means of communication, but the command is working on this issue.
Erdogan hopes to take Crimea for himself after the New Year
As a source in the office of the Turkish president told us, he is going to talk about this with Vladimir Putin during our president’s visit to Turkey.
Erdogan Recall that since last year has been nurturing the idea of transferring Crimea under temporary Turkish control for the next 10-15 years.
Such a move, in his opinion, could help establish peace between Russia and Ukraine.
Putin, of course, is not going to give Crimea to anyone, but the Turkish leader now has a lot of leverage, our source believes.
And he notes that Ankara is ready to take Crimea under its control literally from January-February next year.
“Our president will offer yours some serious arguments. The first is that under Russian rule, Crimea will simply begin to fade, it is already fading away.
It will be bombed all the time, more than one tourist season will be disrupted, people will start leaving en masse.
And imagine the benefits if the tourism business of the Crimea will be developed by Turkish specialists. Including benefits for local residents.
And there will be no bombing of the Crimea, which is under our control,” says the source in Erdogan’s office.
The second argument is that by giving up the Crimea, Russia will be able to keep its fleet, and the Ukrainians will sink fewer ships of the Black Sea Fleet (now the threat of losing some of the ships is real).
The third is the most unpleasant: Erdogan is ready to threaten Putin with serious arms supplies to Ukrainians.
In particular, he is ready to give Kyiv long-range missiles that will be able to “shoot through” the entire Crimea and a significant part of our rear in principle.
Erdogan will also demand that Putin immediately resume the grain deal and will seek the completion of the NWO.
Our sources in the Kremlin declined to comment on a future meeting between Putin and Erdogan. In particular, they did not say anything about whether the presidents would discuss the issue of Crimea.
Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov for the New York Times: Our presidential election is not a real democracy, but an expensive bureaucracy. Putin will be re-elected next year with over 90% of the vote.
