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.

Russia is building 135 T90 tanks a month and retrofitting WWII armor into mobile infantry support artillery. Looks like they have built more new than the ildə they’ve lost.
Creative Accounting 101 USG using military aid dollars to build next generation military equipment for our military and writing down the old equipment at top dollar line item disposal. We go a little old war to rearm America for less than it appears.
Does anyone realize Russia has 200,000 in Reserve that are scheduled for the rumored offensive. Those are actual trained units in addition to that recent 199,000 in the Kuypanst area? There is no upside for Ukraine except to hope this helps them hold Odessa. GOD help these poor bastards.
“Russia is building 135 T90 tanks a month”
Thanks for the laugh.
Nike stock has me down, but you lifted my spirits.
They took Backmut for the highways and railways that allow either side to anchor defenses.
What happens when Russia decides to go on offense in September adding 200k? It ain’t good.
“GOD”
GOD is on Ukraine’s side.
You are Welcome!
Wow. You are good.

Pretty interesting article (just ignore all the ‘global warming BS’).
“There’s a Vast Source of Clean Energy Beneath Our Feet. And a Race to Tap It.”
“The United States has enough geothermal energy to power the entire country. Some are trying to unlock it by using techniques from the fracking boom.”
DJT in Prison, not jail. Means President Harris/Biden. But will still be a first as a convicted felon and former President receives the most GOP votes (write-in) in history.
But do not worry, of the over 771 years DJT faces, they will be sure to give him a century or two off for good behavior.
Jail is were you wait to be sent to prison.
They are all “trained” mobniks who, immediately after induction, received their first rifle at the swearing in ceremony and then surrendered it, after which they were immediately shipped to the front to begin their training as ‘meat’ soldiers.

Just because neighbors may attack Armenia, Russia should be allowed to invade and destroy Ukraine. Makes sense. /s
An article to Cheer everyone up. Winnie-the-Pooh is Making China Poor Again.
“As China’s economy slows, the buck stops with leader Xi Jinping”
“For a generation of Chinese who grew up knowing nothing but boom times, 2023 is proving to be a bit of a downer.
Yes, there’s the relief of exiting coronavirus controls, but the Chinese economy is not roaring into a post-pandemic recovery. Instead, houses aren’t being sold, families aren’t spending and recent graduates either can’t — or don’t want to — find jobs.
“Optimism isn’t really appropriate if you’re a realistic person, and most people are pretty realistic,” said Yang Aha, a 24-year-old accounting graduate who has been living with her parents in Guangzhou for months while she searches for work. “Everyone is just trying to muddle through.”
The Chinese government expects the economy to grow by 5 percent this year — only half the rate recorded in 2008, when Xi Jinping became vice president — but economists are warning that target is looking unachievable because of a looming property market bust and local government debt crisis.
With growth expected to slow further over the coming decade, it will be difficult for China’s gross domestic product to overtake that of the United States or hit its target of doubling by 2035.”

"As of 2021, the company's monthly tank production capacity is estimated to be around 30-35 units."
30 to 35 in total is not 135 of a specific model. Russia is rebuilding a lot of tanks, not just building T-90s. The fact that Russia is getting WW-II armor back in service means they are losing modern vehicles faster than their replacements are produced.
Getting T-55s back to the front lines is a clear sign of how much Russia has lost.
Tactical defense is what Russia has been doing over the last months. It has ground down the attacking Ukrainian forces by all means available to it. When they are done with it the Russian forces will launch their strategic offensive campaign. They are then likely to rapidly progress through thinned out Ukrainian lines.
another Xi stress test to prepare the people for a major war.
Your panic slip is showing.
