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.

Summarizing this war:
A tragedy for Ukraine.

[ 3D Chess Move! Ukrainians Fool Russian Air Defense ]
••Day 548: Aug 25
Today, there is a lot of good news.
First of all, the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, stated that he talked to the family of the Head of the Wagner Group, Prigozhin, and confirmed that he is dead.
He also said that he does not believe that Prigozhin was assassinated by Putin because, as he frankly said, the assassination was too unprofessional for such a calculating man as Putin.
In the meantime, the Wagner cemetery created by Prigozhin is being leveled with the ground.
An appalled man filmed how all the crosses were removed and said that this was disrespect of the highest order.
Some Russian sources responded to this by claiming that the cemetery is being renovated, and the crosses will be replaced by pyramids, however, other sources pointed out that it looks like the ground is being prepared for being covered with concrete.
When it comes to yesterday’s Ukrainian special operation, where several crews raided the Russian military base near Olenivka, today, the Head of the Ukrainian Intelligence stated that, apart from achieving direct military objectives and increasing the level of control over the Black Sea, the goal of this operation was also to show Ukrainians in Crimea that they are not forgotten, and that Ukrainian Forces indeed can reach and land on the Crimean shore.
And the results of the increased activation of Ukrainian forces in and around Crimea can already be seen.
For example, when Ukrainians started conducting consistent strikes on Crimea, a lot of Russians who migrated to Crimea started leaving it.
And when it comes to the landing operation, the fact that people see that the Ukrainians have the capability to liberate these territories, makes more people convinced that helping Ukrainian Forces with information or by other means, such as sabotage, is not a lost cause, which in turn increases the efficiency of Ukrainian attacks.
By the way, today, Ukrainians conducted one of the biggest and most successful drone strikes on Crimea.
The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that Ukrainians launched 42 drones.
The drones were launched in two groups, and interestingly, they avoided the area where Ukrainians recently destroyed the Russian air defense system.
This means that Ukrainians knew that Russians would for sure reinforce the outer edge of the peninsula, inevitably at the expense of the central region.
That is why when the two groups of drones got close, they split into many smaller groups, moving in the direction of multiple strategic objects, such as airfields, oil depots, and power stations, which confused the Russian air defense operators as to which target to prioritize.
Russian sources reported that the air defense managed to shoot down only 9 drones.
Russian sources claimed that all other drones were successfully intercepted with Electronic Warfare Systems, although noted that several intercepted drones still fell on the territory of the military bases and damaged several trucks.
Ukrainian sources reported that multiple drones successfully passed through all Russian air defense systems and hit an ammunition depot, a warehouse with equipment, and also an area of personnel concentration.
Locals reported that a lot of soldiers were transported to the hospitals in Simferopol.
The explosions were also heard in Hvardiyske, which means that Ukrainians likely struck multiple bases in one night.
However, Ukrainians did not stop on Crimea.
The same night, several groups of drones were launched in the direction of Moscow.
It turned out that the main target of the strike became yet another strategic airfield with Russian bombers Tu-22M3 that Russians use for launching missiles at Ukrainian cities.
The footage shows that the Russian air defense managed to shoot down several drones right above the airfield.
Moreover, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians launched a modified ballistic missile, S-200, which was reportedly shot down in the Kaluga region.
Overall, locals have filmed a lot of explosions around the airfield, so we will see whether any drones managed to inflict damage to the bombers or other aircraft on the base.

Gvardieskoe:
Russian airbase is on fire again. Very serious.

Section 4B:
Robotnye:
UA able to penetrate the Defense like to the SW toward Verbova. Russia is sending everything they have in the area to stop the UA. There are so many Orcs in the trenches that there is no longer any maneuverability.
Challengers & Martyrs were spotted north of Robotnye.

Section 4C:
The wing from Prigozhin’s plane was found in the woods 3km from the crash site. Landing gear on the wing is in excellent shape with the tires intact. This means there was no bomb planted. The wing was likely ripped off because of the excessive G-load as the plane spiraled down & broke up.

Section 4C:
Russian SU-25 shot down in the south by manpad. Kaboom.

Section 4D:
Film by Ryan O’Leary, US Army volunteer.
“We went behind the Russian front line, killed everyone who was there, and then waited for friendly units to advance the front line.
“The enemy troops ran towards us, thinking we were Russians. Instead, they found out why they should have stayed the —— at home and stayed out of Ukraine.”
Ryan killed one guy and wounded another - Russian mil-blogger ran toward him, then ran back and was killed.

Section 5A: Russia says that two of Ukrainian MIG-29s collided yesterday in Zhytomir oblast (Ukraine), Pilot nickname @Juice_fighter reportedly lost his life. I am unable to find more information.
One of the Ukrainian channels shared the information about collision, but deleted it in 5 minutes.
Pilot has instagram and Facebook. I can’t check the Facebook. But Pilot is not replying to comments on Instagram.

Ok, now we have it:
On August 25, two L-39 training aircraft collided in the Zhytomyr region, three pilots were killed .
The press service of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that the official comment will be later, given certain circumstances. The RBI has already launched an investigation.
A well-known Ukrainian MiG-29 pilot with the call sign “Juice”, who participated in the air defense of Kyiv, died.

Section 4D: Russian soldiers are walking out from Novoprokopivka (the next village after Robotyne). The Ukrainian artillery keeps following them.
The similar picture we saw in Urozhaine. Russian command does not care about the lives of their soldiers. Normal evacuation is never organized.

Section 6A:
The date of the new wave of mobilization has been chosen - September 18
We have learned when a new wave of great mobilization will start in Russia.
This will happen immediately after the single voting day.
Until September 10, it is forbidden to come to enterprises with mobilization orders and, in general, to actively distribute subpoenas on the streets and mail them through the State Services.
But a week after the vote, from September 18, the most interesting will begin.
Sources in the Ministry of Defense have long said that problems with the availability of equipment begin at the front, and there are also objectively not enough people to achieve serious success.
The problem with the personnel escalated after the withdrawal of Wagner PMC units from the NVO zone.
“In a good way, we need a break - 6-8 months. To recover losses, train personnel, including officers. Now there are big problems with decision-making on the battlefield.
Many commanders hesitate to take responsibility and wait for approval from above.
For the current pace of war, this approach is outdated,” the interlocutor explains.
The strengthening of the army will take place in several ways - voluntary-compulsory signing of contracts with the Ministry of Defense, conscription and mobilization.
At the same time, it is interesting that conscripts will be used, among other things, to serve at strategic facilities.
As the experience of the “Soltsy” airfield, from where the ground forces units were removed and sent to the front, showed, it is actually impossible to leave such objects without protection.
There, we recall, three (3) Tu-22M3 strategic bombers were disabled by a drone strike .
In total, about 500,000 people are planned to be accepted into the troops before the New Year.
The option of mobilizing students, employees of transport enterprises and the education sector is being considered.
Mobilization activities will begin smoothly.
It is worth noting that the campaign was originally planned to be launched from August 29 to September 2, however, at the urgent request of Sergei Kiriyenko, who is responsible for the elections, the dates of mobilization and an active promotional campaign for concluding contracts were shifted to September 18.

Section 6B:
An order was received - to erase “Wagner” from history
The news that began to be cleared the cemeteries of Wagner PMC fighters who died in Ukraine in the regions aroused serious distrust.
After all, firstly, this is completely un-Christian, and secondly, after all, Vladimir Putin himself gave pardons to the members of these units and even awarded those who especially distinguished themselves during the SVO.
After Prigozhin’s unsuccessful rebellion, it became clear that he would be removed.
We even gave an accurate forecast of when this will happen.
Now Prigozhin and his inner circle are dead.
The remnants of PMC Wagner are embittered, but seriously scared.
Especially those who are in Russia - after all, each of them can be prosecuted for at least [ being ] mercenaries.
Now there is an active recruitment of the remaining units for contracts in the Ministry of Defense and other PMCs, in particular those who perform tasks in Africa.
At the same time, a Kremlin source close to the wing of the hawks said that the President personally ordered to remove all memories of the Wagner PMC and minimize references to their participation in the special operation.
“The governors received an order to remove all memorial plaques, cemeteries and other places associated with the Wagner PMC.
And this despite the fact that it was Prigozhin’s fighters who took Artemovsk,” the source said.
He clarified that several exemplary mass graves might be made, but we are talking about isolated cases throughout Russia.
Information about such an order was also confirmed by the governor of the Rostov region, Vasily Golubev, to whom we turned on behalf of the relatives of the deceased Wagnerian.
They said that his grave had been destroyed and they were not allowed to put things in order.
“There is an order from above ,” he answered shortly and hung up.

Section 6C:
Samara portal 63.ru writes that the entire alley where the Wagnerites were buried will be poured into concrete
And a black pyramid will appear in the place of each grave.
