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

ORYX ^ | Since February 24, 2022 and daily | ORYX

[SpeedyInTexas]

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.

The ruble just broke the ceiling it was hitting so far this evening (99.5) in London (about 22:30 their time), back up to the 99.9.

Yesterday, the pressure was on the ruble more from midnight to 8 AM London time.

Lets see if we break through the penny ruble defensive line tonight...

Watching for 200 - the Mark of Doom!

Putin is a Master Strategist!

[marcusmaximus]

Putin having another temper tantrum and lashing out at Odesa right now with drones and Kalibr.

[wildcard_redneck]

I cannot understand why.

[marcusmaximus]

Putin temper tantrum lashing out at Zaporizhzhia now, too.

[BeauBo]

We both know that is a lie.

[BeauBo]

“Putin having another temper tantrum and lashing out at Odesa right now with drones and Kalibr.”

Let me guess - more civilian targets, in violation of the laws of war, to which Russia is a signatory?

[USA-FRANCE]

“”Russia had planned a 7 days long “special operation”. Right?”
I have read this now over quite a number of months. Have you an original source for the statement?””

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Kremlin and all pro-Kremlin TV-channels (all russian TV channels have to be pro-Kremlin) said it many times in 2022.

What’s more fascinating though is when Putin said it in 2014 already, during Russia’s first stage of invasion of Ukraine:

Master Strategist he is. /s

Better add that /s...

--- "It is much (much) cheaper for us to achieve that Strategic goal on someone else’s soil, with someone else’s blood."

I understand your view. I disagree with your view.

Strategic" is a fine word, but whose strategy? And to what purpose?

I begin my thinking about this with ---

$32,698,837,251,456.00 and rising rapidly.

Strategically and rooted in our home, we are in financial trouble a plenty, not to mention social troubles. What is happening six thousand miles away is between Europe -- not NATO, but actual Europe -- and Russia. Time for them to carry the water. If they will. If not, what strategic is there to defend?

If you think we should be the "world's policeman," we part company over that. I do not think this. Not when we are not being our own policemen right here, with the migration issues and inner city messes. Since you say "selling out US policy for bribes is their main business, and how both families became so wealthy," then it is their strategic goals of which you speak.

England is winning against the Germans, no need for more assistance, got it

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Thanks for the link to Time magazine.

Clever use of modal words, there. "Could." The stuff of conjecture, of possibilities, even of bluffing. Quite different than "will."

As Time said, " Putin said he could take control of Ukraine's capital city in as little as two weeks."

I "could" write a far longer and more detailed response, but....

“whose strategy? And to what purpose?”

America’s strategy, for the purpose of advancing America’s interests.

Putin’s regime has consistently worked to weaken the United States and our Allies politically, economically, diplomatically, and when they could, militarily.

They interfere in elections, spy, conduct ongoing cyber warfare against us, bribe politicians, conduct information operations against our populations and elites; to aggravate internal divisions and advance policies specifically to undermine us, and turn the rest of the world against us. Their nuclear weapons are aimed at us. Their conventional weapons are actively being used to conquer additional resources, as part of their long term goals of increasing their power, wealth and influence, and specifically reducing ours. They are not just a competitor, they are a hostile competitor.

[FtrPilot]

That would be fabulous.

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

--- "“whose strategy? And to what purpose?”>/i> --- "America's strategy, for the purpose of advancing America's interests.

American interests are defined in the moment by the current administration. Joseph Biden, Kamala Harris, Lloyd Austin, Anthony Blinke, Victoria Nuland, Janet Yellen,Jennifer Granholm and so on.

You apparently agree with their leadership in America's strategy.

[BeauBo]

Putin doesn’t change when the American Administration does. He remains a hostile competitor, who does not play by any rules.

[BeauBo]

The penny ruble threshold was crossed overnight.

Maybe it got too expensive for the Russian Central Bank to defend the ruble at that level, shoveling good money after bad.

[ETCM]

Lets see if we break through the penny ruble defensive line tonight...

It finally broke. Now at 100.3. The automated buys at 1 penny stopped at 0600 UTC.

[BeauBo]

It (te Russian Ruble) finally broke. Now at 100.3. The automated buys at 1 penny stopped at 0600 UTC”

When the analysts meet with their bosses after the market close in Hong Kong, New York or London; they can only conclude that Russia not Stronk - can’t defend the Ruble.

Therefore, there is likely money to be made by shorting it.

The ruble is already on the screens of short sellers around the world, because of how it has moved this year to date. It is looking more and more like the best opportunity of the year to make a real killing, and lock in a big performance bonus.

How long before the blood in the water drives the nibbling into a feeding frenzy, or draws the really big sharks to the feast? None of them want to miss out on the big moves, and have their competitors outperform them - they have reputations to protect.

[BeauBo]

Ruble Death Watch underway.

The ruble is now worth less than an American penny. It was about 30 to the dollar before Putin invaded the Ukraine (2014).

Knowledgeable Russian Central Bankers warn than beyond 200 to the dollar, serious effects will be irreversible.

Watching for 200 - Death of the Ruble.

Putin did that.

PIF: "They have already moved reinforcement from the Kherson region."

And now, they may have to redeploy them back to the Kherson region.

Speedy should post the following in today's thread.

The Russian command is being forced to consider redeploying reinforcements from its priority area near Zaporizhzhia to the left bank of the Dnipro river as Ukrainian defenders step up their fight to control newly taken positions on this territory, UK Defence Intelligence reports.

Very interesting...also, very predictable.
