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.

Cute. Another foolish strawman.

“Putin gave the order, the other generals are next.”

He could just be the figurehead of a whole faction targeted for a purge - Military, FSB, Wagner, Mafia members across the board might need to make a break for the border, or pull their own knives out.

What is a good popcorn stock to invest in?

[dfwgator]

Someday he’s going to piss off the wrong general.

[BeauBo]

You call the mountains of innocent Ukrainian victims of Russian aggression foolish strawman.

How disgusting of you.

Pop corn futures could be the way to go.

NO PLACE TO HIDE: UKR Defense Intelligence confirms that a deep strike was conducted on a Russian long range S-400 ‘Triumf’ surface complex near the village of Olenivka in occupied Crimea. Attached video shows the strike on 23 AUG.

Petro Andriushchenko, advisor to the Mayor of Mariupol, reported on Telegram earlier that a Russian ‘Bastion' anti-ship missile system was damaged in Crimea, and that its radar stations were damaged.

Information is developing: both systems may have been hit. These UKR attacks will have delivered a serious blow to the security of RU bases in Crimea.

Russia’s S-400 anti-aircraft complexes are valued at more than $300 million per battery, and are not easily replaces.

The destroyed S-400 was positioned at Olenivka on Cape Tarkhankut, in western Crimea; it was intended to defend the RU naval operational base at Sevesatopol.

One of Russia’s most capable air defense weapons, the SU-400 has an operational range in excess of 380 km (240 mi) firing 40N6E surface to air missiles, 150 km (93 mi), firing 48N6(E) missiles, and greater than 200 km (120 mi) firing 48N6M(E2) missiles.

Attacks on S-300 and S-400 missile complexes have usually preceded attacks on high value RU targets in occupied Crimea.

FTA: One of Russia’s most capable air defense weapons, the SU-400 has an operational range in excess of 380 km (240 mi) firing 40N6E surface to air missiles.

An operational range of 240 miles is R-max-1. This assumes the target continues flying directly at the launch site.

R-max-2 is defined as the no-escape range.

I would estimate R-max-2 against an F-16 would be around 80 miles.

Chances of S-400 shooting down an F-16 is nil.

Hey, you’re the touchy feely kind of guy who supports this woke crusade. Just where is that “documenting” documented, by the way? I forwarded 93, as documented, Uke equipment losses and you didn’t even watch my “documentation” once. Again, just exactly who documents your representations?

[dynoman]

No, I called your reply to to me a strawman, and it was. Then you go and post another strawman! You are on a roll!

“The major question now is, “how do thousands of very well armed, battle hardened and extremely violent Wagner mercenaries react to the death of a man that they held in extremely high, almost cult like regard (they referred to Prigozhin as ‘Papa’)?”.”

[SpeedyInTexas]

Have another glass of Vodka.

Chances of S-400 shooting down an F-16 is nil, Embraer ERG 135s not so much.

“Russia’s S-400 anti-aircraft complexes are valued at more than $300 million per battery, and are not easily replaced”

Maybe Turkey could sell theirs back to Russia for oil - after they were “corrected” to shoot down their own planes...

[BeauBo]

““The major question now is, “how do thousands of very well armed, battle hardened and extremely violent Wagner mercenaries react to the death of a man that they held in extremely high, almost cult like regard (they referred to Prigozhin as ‘Papa’)?””

Fear? Panic? Determined vendetta?

All good...

[SpeedyInTexas]

Not ‘clean’ elections, just ‘cleaner’.

Maybe just skip the ‘cleaner’ elections and give Maduro a bible to take the oath on.

“US in Talks With Venezuela Over Sanctions Relief in Return for Fair Elections “

“US wants Venezuela to hold cleaner election in exchange”

“Crippling sanctions hurt economy but failed to dislodge “Maduro”

[tlozo]

Another “simple answer” different from the first one, LOL!

Don’t try to weasel out of what you said. It makes you look weak.

Our sending weapons to Ukraine, doesn't degrade the russian military AND help Ukrainians defend themselves? Okay

“The major question now is, “how do thousands of very well armed, battle hardened and extremely violent Wagner mercenaries react to the death of a man that they held in extremely high, almost cult like regard (they referred to Prigozhin as ‘Papa’)?”.”

Seeing reports now that 7 of Wagner's most senior leaders were onboard, not just Prigozhin and Utkin. A major decapitation strike. First they took the heavy weapons and scattered Wagner troops, then killed the leadership. I expect they have also deeply infiltrated the organization that still exists. Clearly, Wagnerites will be very angry, but they have to know they are in the Putin's cross-hairs.

Prig had to go. Russians were cheering him and his fighters in the street after his troops shot down Russian aircraft. That kind of popularity made him far too dangerous for Putin to allow him to live.

[marcusmaximus]

Popcorn time.

[BeauBo]

Surovikin officially replaced as head of the of the Russian Aerospace Force, on the same day as Prigozhin “unexpectedly” died.

Night of long knives?

In addition to purges, this is a great opportunity to re-flag Wagner under a new name/false identity. Wagner is officially designated as an International Criminal Organization.

This is a ideal time for the GRU to burn that asset, and give them a clean new cover.

[SpeedyInTexas]

“The Wagnerites may try to leave Belarus for the Russian Federation amid rumors of Prigozhin’s death: they are forming columns to leave the camps...

According to the Belarusian underground, a part of the “Wagnerov” camps in Belarus is now being closed down.

Are we expecting a revenge coup?”

Just watched a Times (UK) interview with a retired UK Major General (Chapman), who observed that Prigozhin had the contract to provide the rations (food) to Russian forces in the Ukraine.

His absence might disrupt food deliveries to the troops, in addition to their other logistic difficulties.
