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.

“You’re economically illiterate. The reason Russia is rising interest rates is because the economy is growing faster than expected.”
Who is the economic illiterate now?
13% interest rates are needed to cool off hectic growth of 2.5 %? Somebody needs to tell China.
“Whatever was struck, it must have hurt”
Pearl Harbor comes to mind...
"All Russian submarines reportedly withdrawn from Sevastopol, Crimea" https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/all-russian-submarines-reportedly-withdrawn-from-sevastopol-crimea/ar-AA1h18IL
"according to the Telegram channel Crimean Wind, there are currently no Russian submarines observed in the Southern Bay. Only the Ukrainian submarine Zaporizhzhia, which was seized by the Russian Federation, remains there.
Overall, the Russian Black Sea Fleet had six Project 636.3 Varshavyanka submarines, one of which was destroyed by Ukrainian forces last week. The fleet also includes a Project 877V Platus submarine, which has not been operational after repairs and modernization.
All these submarines are capable of carrying Kalibr cruise missiles, which Russia has frequently used to target Ukraine."
P.S. I can't speak for the Russian Navy. There may be some panic there. If we can find them, we will ask.
Speedy’s welcome home party, right on cue.

Background
Events leading up to this attack began earlier today when smoke was observed in the occupied city of Inkerman. Occupying forces activated a smoke curtain in response. Local sources reported that Inkerman is home to the main oil depot of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Subsequently, explosions were heard in the vicinity of Sevastopol. The occupation authorities claimed these were the actions of anti-aircraft missile systems. According to their statements, downed drones caused fires near the settlements of Verkhnyosadove and Kacha.
Later, the local Telegram channel Crimean Wind reported smoke in the settlement of Verkhnyosadove, where a Russian military unit is located.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine later confirmed that on the morning of September 20, the Ukrainian Armed Forces successfully struck the (alternate) command post of the Russian Black Sea Fleet near Verkhnyosadove.”
A 1.5% - 2.5% growth rate requires a 73% increase in interest rate? You are going to find yourself extremely lonely in that theory.
"We raised the rate due to the appearance of inflation risks and will keep it at high levels for quite a long time, until we are convinced of the sustainable nature of the inflation slowdown," the bank's governor, Elvira Nabiullina, told a press conference.
Not a surprise, he also buys Russian mod numbers, BTW , gdp could be up considering all the govt spending on the war, but 6% inflation not a chance
Either way I imagine the numbers are far worse, he got some ships, S-400s to replaceand 1000 T-14s to build…. more GDP, good times are here to stay
Master economist as well as strategist
Defense spending accounts for about 10% of Russia's GDP, more than triple pre-war. Outside of this defense spending, GDP is shrinking.
Mystery solved.
“As Russia weakens, more and more claims and grievances will cross their threshold into action.
Let the Breakaways and Takeaways begin!
Attention sharks of the World - Russian Imperial blood in the water.”
So which is it? The claim is Russia is a menace to the entire world and the next thing you know they’ll be on the English Channel or the Pyrenees; or they’re incompetent doofuses about to get their country sliced and diced and taken away from them. You can’t have it both ways.
“So which is it? The claim is Russia is a menace to the entire world…”
Yes, that is what it is.
They need to have their Military capability taken away, because they have proven that their intent is too malicious to tolerate.
As they lose that Military capability, the many enemies they have made, and the many people they oppress by force of arms, will have their opportunity to break free, or take revenge.

What a fantasy. not gonna happen. after the Ukraine war is over, there is nothing to prevent their rebuilding.
“What a fantasy. not gonna happen. after the Ukraine war is over, there is nothing to prevent their rebuilding.”
I guess that the Soviet Union would also last forever then. They can’t go broke. It’s inconceivable.
“I guess that the Soviet Union would also last forever then. They can’t go broke. It’s inconceivable.”
Not the same thing. Not even close. Russia is not going to break up like that.
“Russia is not going to break up like that.”
It is apparently inconceivable.
The Soviet Union was bigger and stronger. How could it have broken up, that Russia is somehow immune to?
“The Soviet Union was bigger and stronger. How could it have broken up, that Russia is somehow immune to?”
Dumb question, they are way different. The Soviet Union was an abortion held together by force. Russia is more homogenous and nationalistic. They are not going to break up their own country. A few ethnic enclaves on the borders might split off, but that’s not very likely.
“The Soviet Union was an abortion held together by force. Russia is”
