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.

Sky News reporting that the Russian Civil Aviation Authority is saying that Prigozhin was on the passenger list.
Doesn’t change the point I made; 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.
Do you think Russia would have invaded if Trump had been president?
Marcus, FYI
“Looks like a private jet registered to Yevgeny Prigozhin crashed (video looks more like shot down) in Russia”
BBC News says he is dead. It was just a matter of time.
“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.”
Thanks for posting. Looks like the big news of the day.
“BBC News says he is dead. It was just a matter of time.”
Another Good RuZZian.
“”Dmytriy Utkin, founder of Wagner and “right hand” of Prigozhin, was also on board the plane that crashed”, - rosZMI”

It was an answer to a direct question - how does this benefit the American taxpayer? It achieves Strategic interests economically.
I find it disgusting to try to dissuade America from helping defend innocent Ukrainians who are being slaughtered and tortured by invading Russians, by arguing that it is not worth spending money on it.
Prigozhin may have been killed today.
“Prigozhin was aboard the plane that was downed by the Russian air defenses, per Tass.”

“Prigozhin may have been killed today.”
Too bad.
10! What a great day!!!
Winning.
“Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin killed in plane crash with nine others, Russian authorities say”

“BBC News says he (Prigozhin) is dead. It was just a matter of time”
About two months from the coup attempt.
Now perhaps they will be emboldened to crack down harder on coup collaborators.
Let them stay busy spying on each other in the Kremlin, and knifing each other in the back.
Send more Artillery! Free the Falcons!
Purifying RuZZian Society.
“why the USA taxpayer is the biggest winner of this war.”
Putin’s regime, like the Soviet Union, works tirelessly to undermine the USA. Strategically, their capability is being undermined at lightning speed by this war.
Their military capability is being rapidly demolished. Just yesterday, another of their Backfire bombers, whose “Peacetime” mission is to patrol with nuclear missiles aimed at the USA and our Allies, was destroyed. Their economy and Government finances are being bankrupted. They are more Diplomatically isolated than ever.
This is being accomplished without the loss of one American life, or destruction of the American homeland (if you don’t count sabotage of the Freeport LNG export facility in Texas) - for pennies on the dollar, as compared to a direct war. Allies are stepping up, and paying their share as well.
In fact, the USA is also picking up a big chunk of Russia’s former natural gas market share to Europe, on long term contracts. Tax revenues on that will offset some or all of the cost of Military aid to the Ukraine.
The price of war is death. The price of freedom is blood. War and death are the human condition. War costs treasure.
You can die fighting tyranny and invaders, or you can roll over and allow them to cart you off to death chambers. That's the choice Ukrainians made. Obviously, you would have chosen the alternative.
I'm only responding to your Putin talking points because I have nothing better to do in this moment. Otherwise I'd ignore you totally.
Here's what the end of the war will look like:
A two-for!!!!
Putin gave the order, the other generals are next.
At least Russia is denazifying something, as Utkin was a Nazi, as are many of the units of Wagner.
As I posted a while back, Shoigu and his buddies were basically taking down Wagner because they own competing PMCs:
"Several PMC's are owned by Russian Generals and politicians, including General Shoigu's own PMC Patriot and General Alekseyev's PMC Redut. Some state run corporations also have PMCs, including GAZPROM's PMC Fakel. They are eliminating the competition and stuffing their own pockets. While technically private, they are essentially a branch of the Russian military. All of them fight in Ukraine, Syria, Africa, etc to further Russian geopolitical goals."
Shooting down Prigozhin's jet probably required Putin's approval, though Shoigu obviously has the resources.
