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.

Calling someone a RuZZian on FR is considered an insult.
Calling someone a Comrade on FR is considered an insult.
Summarizing this war:
A tragedy for Ukraine.
A disaster for RuZZia.
A strategic win for the USA. The biggest winner of the war.
“More than three decades after Reagan left office, most Republicans still believe that America is a force for good.”
“Four Seconds to Impact: On the Front Line With Ukraine’s Snipers”
“In a war built around artillery, tanks, drones and cruise missiles, the role of the sniper, unseen and lethal, occupies an often overlooked but essential part of the battlefield.”
“The Russian position was marked with the blue flag of Moscow’s elite airborne units but the fabric looked almost translucent through the Ukrainian sniper’s scope.
The flag, atop a Russian-occupied building in southern Ukraine, was just over a mile away. If a Russian soldier appeared, it would take roughly four seconds for the sniper’s large-caliber bullet to reach the man’s chest.
“They move around in the morning and in the evening,” said Bart, the leader of the four-man sniper team.
They had arrived in darkness after navigating pitch-black roads, crammed into a pickup truck with its lights off. With hurried steps on broken glass, they set up their rifles at their position, known as a “hide.””
“Russian officer escaped to the Ukrainian side with 11 of his fellow servicemen, GUR reports. Russian lieutenant Daniil Alfyorov “actively cooperated with the Ukrainian GUR and Defence forces since June 2023”. He convinced 11 of his comrades to surrender into Ukrainian captivity from the Russian army, where their lives were under great danger of torture and being sent into meat assaults. “When there was a threat to Alfiorov’s life, Ukraine carried out a special operation for his controlled withdrawal to Ukrainian territory,” said Andriy Yusov, a representative of the State Department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, during a press conference.”

“”British military will not be sent to Ukraine until the end of hostilities,” Prime Minister Sunak said in response to the statement of Defense Minister Shapp. “The Minister of Defense said that it might well be possible. But this is something in the long term, not now.””

Oh no. Who is going to tell Jon Boy, redneck and the extremist?
“In Z-land there is less and less trust in the success of the Special Operation. This propagandist is claiming there is a shortage of shells (again), lack of counter battery artillery, that Ukraine has more powerful recon/intelligence and that Russians occur heavy losses.”

Sure,
Lockheed, Boeing, General Dynamics, Raytheon are all huge strategic winners.
As for me, I have inflation, a retirement not keeping up with the inflation. A son in the USN that is facing an increased security risk. I live in a place where the government is NOT spending on infrastructure and roads, trains, bridges, airfields that look like something from a third world nation.
Exactly how do you define strategic victory for us as a nation when:
There is no benefit to the average American in terms of their wealth, freedom, or availability of goods and services?
It’s a strategic victory for folks like this: https://www.ft.com/content/3d6041fb-5747-4564-9874-691742aa52a2
Kudos. Sir, you have asked the pertinent question.
Kudos. Sir, you have asked the pertinent question.
The counter offensive has failed.
Ukraine is taking more losses than Russia.
It’s Ukraine’s economy that is broke, not Russia.
It’s Ukraine that has failed to achieve the political objectives, not Russia: NATO membership.
It’s Ukraine that has failed their military objectives, not Russia: who holds the ethnic Russian areas.
Failure which you try to sell as victory.
The question now is how do we disengage from this without losing face? That’s the question politicians in the West are begining to ask themselves.
There is maybe/possibly a strategic advantage in that as we weaken Russia that would give us an advantage in trying to tear their oil producing allies out from under them and align them under us. For years we have been encroaching on the Russians in places like Syria, Libya and Venezuela, all for “peace, democracy, human rights and sovereignty” of course (even as we arm folks in Syria that are involved with decapitations...). The argument can be made that our campaign in Ukraine may weaken Russia on the world stage, being able to fend us off. However, that isn’t what we’re seeing as of now.
There is an argument to be made that peeling Europe from Russian energy is a strategic win for us, but things like blowing up the pipeline will likely backfire long term. Nations like Germany that are suffering economically (loss of competitiveness)...
YOU are selling a lemon. Already today the majority of people oppose the war spending. https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/04/politics/cnn-poll-ukraine/index.html And that’s a pro war pro Biden globalist leftist smear rag of a media outlet.
Justin Trudeau also earns his place in this rogue gallery of history deniers, having presided over a session of the Canadian Parliament that lauded a decrepit old man who joined the Nazi Schutzstaffel (i.e. the SS) Division in Ukraine and “fought against the Russians.” Trudeau, true to form, accepted no responsibility for this debacle and tossed the Speaker of the House under the bus. But there is no doubt that Trudeau signed off on Speaker Rota’s statement praising the old Nazi.
So what the hell is going on? Have these three always been this ignorant or did they recently take a stupid pill? No! They know exactly what they are doing — spreading the crudest propaganda designed to smear Putin and the Russian people. These are despicable lies conjured up out of desperation. Blinken, Johnson and Trudeau realize that Ukraine stands on the threshold of a military defeat at the hands of Russia and are verbally flailing, like a drowning passenger on the Titanic. Re-writing history is something despots do. That tells us all we need to know about these three clowns.
Kazan is the name of a city in RuZZia.
Is that where you live?
