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.”
“Ukrainian Armed Forces taking credit for last night’s destruction of the Russian S400 air defense system ($1.2 billion) in Belgorod. Not only is Russian air defense disappearing in Ukraine, but in Russia itself. City was on lockdown and locals reported 12 explosions.”

“When Russia Is a Neighbor, Self-Defense Is Everyone’s Concern”
“Even though it’s now part of NATO, a wary Finland still requires men to serve their country. Women can volunteer, and many do.”
“The facade of the apartment building was blown off, the remains sagging to one side. Working together, the military police, the emergency services, the fire department and the explosives team cordoned off the scene, swept for other explosives, disarmed one, and searched for those still alive in the rubble with sniffer dogs, while removing the wounded and the dead.
The scene was staged. The building was an old disused student dormitory. The survivors were volunteers. The dead were dummies, but the body bags, sniffer dogs and soldiers were real, as hundreds of conscripts and reservists practiced how to coordinate civilian and military response to a terrorist attack or a war.”
“In Ukraine, explosive DIY drones give an intimate view of killing”
“The unblinking eye of the Ukrainian surveillance drone spotted attractive prey: eight Russian soldiers entering a fortified, well-camouflaged dugout.
Inside a darkened trench a few miles away, Ukrainian soldiers of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade’s strike drone company got to work. A pilot tightened the plastic blades of his hand-built machine, strapped a fuel bomb to its belly and lifted off.
Through a pair of goggles, the operator, call sign Sapsan, piloted the drone across the scarred battlefield in southern Ukraine, gliding the craft toward his target.”
Fooled Again.

Worldtraveler once upon a time to SpeedyInTexas--- "US National Debt doesn't need to be paid off. Just serviced. Ample abilities to do that." Did you really opine in this manner? Wow.
"A perpetual bond is a bond with no maturity date that theoretically pays interest forever." So you think US citizens should be in perpetual debt and only "service" the debt? Others call that involuntary servitude.
Perpetual bond - WikipediaAs to "ample abilities" to "service" debt, most Americans haven't ample abilities of which you write.An Overview of Perpetual Bonds - Investopedia
US median per capita $65KYou care and concern for the majority of Americans is very poor indeed. Let them pay -- sorry, "service" -- debt forever, and into succeeding generations who will have had no vote in this.
Less than $50k -- 60.96% of population. Circa $50k-$100k -- 24.61% of population. More than $100k -- 14.43% of population.Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_United_States
If you have citations and URLs to bolster your economic outlook as you have citations a plenty about the Ukraine-Russia Twitter war, you might wish to do more than merely assert... "US National Debt doesn't need to be paid off. Just serviced. Ample abilities to do that."

Drone warfare is one of Ukraines strong points. Thanks for posting this.
Not a fan of the Washington Compost but a stopped clock is right twice a day.
From the link below:
Russian Telegram channels reported that about 20 explosions were heard in the area where the system was located. There was a power outage in settlements nearby.

A long but interesting read.
Bottom line: Ruzzia has launched 1,673 cruise missiles and 67 ballistic missiles (total of 1740).
Out of the 1740 missiles launched, 1308 were intercepted and 432 hit near a target.
The HE in 432 missiles would equate to 9 B-52 missions.
Weak!
“Ukrainian Armed Forces taking credit for last night’s destruction of the Russian S400 air defense system ($1.2 billion) in Belgorod”
S400s are very high value, low density assets for Russia. My understanding is that they had 96 at the start of this invasion, to cover their whole country.
Every time one is hit, it opens a gaping hole in their defenses, for follow on strikes, like the destruction of the Black Sea Fleet HQ.
Destruction of any one is important, but it may also be an indicator of an important follow on strike to come (e.g. through a gap in Belgorod, deeper within Russia).
Tactically significant advance. The railroad was an important defensive line for the Russians, South of Bakhmut. Crossing it opens the way to cut the Russian Main Supply Route from the South into Bakhmut.
“plans to forbid Russian citizens from using virtual private networks (VPNs) by March 1, 2024”
That is to say, before the next “election” that Putin plans to steal.
Russia does seem to be succeeding in producing more drones, like the Lancet (FPC) and Shaheed/Geran (long range). It is about the only thing going their way on the battlefield.
Agree!
Here's a gem from an unreliable source:
"Turkey has tested the S-400 air defense system against drones and F-16 fighter jets at low altitudes. According to Turkish media, the Turkish military has identified some deficiencies against a slow-moving object at low altitude."
I believe UKF are using cardboard drones to take out the S-400 radars.
Then S-200 missiles, in surface-to-surface mode, are launched against the TELs.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
