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.

I’ll take your questions seriously.
“SpeedyInTexas, please explain to me why the USA taxpayer is the biggest winner of this war.”
RuZZia and China are our 2 biggest adversaries (maybe enemies?). One of those adversaries is being destroyed. Plain and simple. Meanwhile no Americans are dying. Is that not winning?
“Also, why should we be cheerful about the deaths of thousands of people?”
The RuZZians who are dying are mainly dying on Ukrainian soil. They are invaders. Death to the invaders.
Did I hurt your feelings?
“Using Ukrainian lives.”
We aren’t ‘using’ them. They WANT arms to kill the invaders.
So helping Ukrainians who have choosen to defend their families, home and country from invasion is "Using Ukrainian lives"? Okay
“Using Ukrainian lives. Your ilk always forgets that part”
It is all because Russia is attacking. You seem to ignore the cause of all this killing and destruction. Russia insists on it. They could stop and go home at any time.
If you haven’t already, please watch Tucker’s interview with Colonel Douglas Macgregor in which Macgregor says:
“Pretty much everything that NBC News and the New York Times have told you about the war in Ukraine is a lie.”
“‘The Russian army is incompetent,’ they claim. ‘Ukraine is a democracy.’ ‘Vladimir Putin is Hitler, and he’s trying to take over the world.’ Thankfully, the Ukrainians are winning. None of that is true.
“Every claim is false. The last one, especially. The Ukrainian Army is not winning. In fact, it’s losing badly. Ukraine is being destroyed. Its population is being slaughtered in lopsided battles with a technologically superior enemy or scattered by the millions to the rest of the globe as refugees. Ukraine is running out of soldiers.
“As that happens, the question will inevitably arise who’s going to replace them? If the Ukrainians can’t beat Putin, who will? The answer, of course, will be us. American troops will fight the Russian army in Eastern Europe. That’s most likely. And the assumption is we’ll win. But will we win?
Probably not, says former Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, a decorated combat veteran who advised the Secretary of Defense in the last administration. The US, says Macgregor, is on the brink of a catastrophic war that could very easily destroy us. Few Americans seem to understand that, but they should.”

If America was still a world power and a free country, we’d have no beef with Russia.
Leftists Obama and Biden and their ilk incited this war when, in 2014, they organized a coup and installed their puppet Zelensky.
If we further weaken our military by going to war with Russia, what do you think will be China’s (Biden’s paymaster) next step?
Nice deflection from the point.
It’s disgusting to brag about how little it’s costing the US to weaken Russia when Ukraine will feel the loss of life and country for decades.
“Simple answer, for a measly 100 billion last year out of our total US budget of 6.6 trillion we have decimated the military of our regional rival, Russia.”
That’s what you said. Bragging with glee about how little it has cost us to decimate Russia’s military. Now you want to change your position to “helping Ukrainians defend their families, home and country from invasion”.
Disgusting.
Equivocation.
Anyone who is gleeful about weakening Russia at so little cost to us doesn’t give a rats butt about the Ukrainian lives it costs.
Too many forget about the history leading up to this. It could have, and should have been prevented.
“in which Macgregor says”:
Everything everyone else tells you, or you see with your own eyes is a lie. I will tell you what is true, and you should just believe it.
Russia is stronk. Even stronker. Russia still holds Kharkiv and Kherson, and even Snake Island. Russia could take Kiev at any time, if Putin was just not such a soft-hearted nice guy, and would take off the gloves. Same with America, which continues to exist only by his good graces, and mood that day.
The Russian economy is the best in the world, where the brightest minds in the world flock to work, and investment money floods in from everywhere.
Russia always planned to take a long time, and sacrifice the great bulk of their Army moving into Ukraine, just to be nice about it.
Everything is going according to plan. Russia is omnipotent. Resistance is futile.
Post ANY link to a previous Macgregor prediction of the Ukraine war in which he was correct. Macgregor has been consistently wrong in the past.
Carlson’s top expert on the war, retired Colonel Douglas MacGregor, told viewers of the Fox News show that “this war may be over soon.:” Sept 2022
“Right now things are going very, very badly,” for Ukraine he said on Friday night’s show, calling them “desperate.”
And Col MacGregor, a former adviser to the Secretary of Defense in the Trump administration, even added that “They’re losing once again just south of Kharkiv.”
“The last offensive down south failed miserably. … And this desperation is really dangerous right now because they’re losing once again just south of Kharkiv. … I think the Biden administration is now trying to retreat … from the dumb position they’ve taken up to this point. I don’t think they can do that very easily, do you?”
The events of the days following the interview showed Macgregor’s comments, unchallenged by Carlson, were in fact a direct inversion of the reality that played out. Ukraine liberated almost 3,500 square miles; the Russian front in Kharkiv collapsed and military personnel fled

Russia Ukraine: Massive Russian Offensive To END The War? Colonel Douglas Macgregor- May 12, 2023

Batch of new trolls today - the others must be getting worn out or ran out of their anti-panic pills.
That’s what you said. Bragging with glee about how little it has cost us to decimate Russia’s military. Now you want to change your position to “helping Ukrainians defend their families, home and country from invasion”
Simple answer, it accomplishes both. Not sure why you cannot understand that.
Looks like a private jet registered to Yevgeny Prigozhin crashed (video looks more like shot down) in Russia. Unclear where Prigozhin currently is. Last claimed to be in Mali.

If it were not for Western military aide, the Russians would have slaughtered all non-ethnic Ukrainians as they proposed early on. The Holodomor on steroids. Russians love slaughtering people, especially Ukrainians.
“Looks like a private jet registered to Yevgeny Prigozhin crashed”
Good riddance to bad rubbish if he is dead.
Another “simple answer” different from the first one, LOL!
Don’t try to weasel out of what you said. It makes you look weak.
Yes, it does look like the plane suffered a catastrophic incident which caused it to lose all control and smoke all the way down to the ground. Maybe the ‘No Smoking’ signs were not lit?
“watch Tucker’s interview with Colonel Douglas Macgregor”
No thanks.
That says it all.
