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. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles 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 a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's 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.

“For the first time in this war Ukrainian forces not only successfully crossed the Dnipro River but also the Konka River behind, establishing a permanent bridge head on the south/east side near Kozachi Laheri. All Russian attempts to dislodge Ukrainians failed and the Russian recon unit initially investigating the Ukrainian landing was most likely destroyed.”

“Ukraine Makes Progress Along 2 Lines of Attack”
“After months of grueling advances through minefields, small villages and open steppes, Ukrainian forces are making some progress along two major lines of attack, according to analysts, Ukrainian officials and Russian military bloggers.
The advances, while small in terms of territory taken, are compelling Moscow to redeploy forces, military analysts say. The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, called the advances “tactically significant,” adding that the situation would create new challenges for Russian forces spread across the vast front line.”
Ukraine: military situation update - Aug 11, 2023
••Denotes Transcribed Dialogue. Extras are just that - from other sites, or my comments marked (Edit: .... ) or { } or [ ].
Excerpt:
While it had been hoped that the first Ukrainian pilots might be qualified to fly F-16 Viper fighters by early next year at the latest, that is now reportedly when they are expected to start training. The goal is now to have the first of Ukraine’s aviators ready to take the stick of an F-16 sometime next summer. [ Translation from Bidenese: not enough Ukrainians have died to fulfill his contract. ]
F-16 training is now likely won’t begin until January, according to the Post. As a result, the first group of six pilots is not expected to complete that training until the summer of 2024. As The War Zone previously reported, a plan had been in place to start training Ukrainian pilots on how to fly the F-16s this month in Denmark, and at a training center that will be set up in Romania.
The initial group of Ukrainian pilots are already fluent in English, but they must first attend four months of English lessons in Britain to learn terminology associated with the jets, the sources told the Post. Adding to the complications, that instruction will occur along with ground staff who may be less proficient in English. The Ukrainians told the newspaper that the schedule is being co-mingled because Denmark requested to train entire crews together rather than just the pilots first. Denmark’s Defense Ministry reportedly declined to comment.
This all pushes back the start of combat training, which is expected to take six months, to January, the Ukrainian officials said, according to the report.

Did the enemy shoot down almost all the “Daggers” launched in Ukraine?
Intelligence data suggests that debris from rockets fired today hit a residential building in western Ukraine. According to our information, 4 missiles were launched and only one of them hit the airfield in the Ivano-Frankivsk region.
“We don’t hit civilian targets. Especially with high-precision weapons,” says our source in the General Staff, commenting on the photos that appeared in the Ukrainian public.
It is interesting that the Ukrainian side recognized the hits of three daggers. “The enemy wants to confuse us. We assume that they have more Patriots than they say,” the source said.

Kremlin snuffbox

In Putin’s entourage, they found the “culprit” of the depreciation of the ruble and are preparing the resignation of Nabiullina
Elvira Nabiullina is to blame for the depreciation of the ruble and should be fired.
That view is shared by several influential hawks in Vladimir Putin’s entourage, two Kremlin sources told us.
Among the claims against Nabiullina, among other things, are the insufficient emission (printing) of the ruble, the refusal to ban the Dollar and the Euro in Russia (we wrote about this idea, the president has so far abandoned it under the influence of representatives of the Central Bank) and even an orientation towards “liberal elements and enemies of Russia Chubais type”.
Also, a number of people in Putin’s entourage did not like the fact that Nabiullina’s deputies said: in order to save the ruble, you need to finish the SVO .
The President, according to our sources, promised to consider the issue of Nabiullina’s resignation, but did not make any decisions on this matter.
At the same time, our source in the Central Bank said that the resignation of the head of the Central Bank “will be a terrible tragedy that Russia may not survive.”
“As soon as the dollar costs 200 rubles, and it will be so without Nabiullina, terrible and irreversible processes will begin,” he predicts.
By the way, it can be stated that public attacks have already begun against Nabiullina. her directly in particular, Vladimir Solovyov attacked. Our sources say “this is just the beginning.”
Prigozhin met with Lukashenko in Minsk
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko unexpectedly received the founder of PMC Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin as a guest. According to our information, the meeting took place on Friday night, without prying eyes, but not really hiding either.
“Prigozhin arrived in Minsk from St. Petersburg,” our source says.
We were not able to find out for sure what Prigozhin and Lukashenko talked about face-to-face, but we know that their meeting lasted more than two hours and ended well after midnight.
After that, Prigozhin held another meeting - with the leaders of Wagner, who are on the territory of Belarus. Then he flew back to St. Petersburg.
Lukashenko met with his security forces in the morning. In particular, with the head of the border committee, Konstantin Molostov.
Whether this is due to the attempts of PMC Wagner with the help of refugees to shake up the situation on the border of Belarus and Poland, we do not know, but sources hint that some measures are being prepared.
